Chapter 17: Black Wolves

DAMIEN POV

*Punch

"Yo Damien. You ok?" I turned to see Eli, the manager of the boxing gym I was currently at. Ever since yesterday, I've been unable to focus on anything with the gang. I decided this was the best place to let out my frustration.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

*Punch

"You sure? You're really taking it out on that punching bag."

I turned to him. "I'm fine, Eli." 

I went over to get a sip of water and picked up my phone to a text from Rocco.

Rocco: I found something about the BW

Damien: Ok. I'll be there in 20

I grabbed my things and headed to the showers.

I met Rocco at the cage.

"So I found out that the Black Wolves found a new spot. It's an abandoned club located outside our area. Even though it's not here, it's closer than their last one." Rocco started off. "As of right now, they still think we are still at our old place. But they'll probably find out soon."

Rocco continued while grabbing something from my desk. "I thought we could scope out their area tonight. Just to see what their intentions are. No fighting."

I agreed and we went to the car. I reversed and pulled into the street. We sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Damien!" Rocco raised his voice.

I turned to him. "What?"

He pointed to the traffic light. "It's green."

"Oh, sorry." I took my foot off the brake.

"What's up with you man?" Rocco asked.

"I'm fine." I kept my eyes ahead.

"You've been off. Is there something going on?" Rocco asked.

"Nothing."

"See. I don't think it's nothing. Yes, you're a secretive man, but you're still never this quiet. You know what I think is up?"

I knew where this was going. "Don't say it."

"Naya." He said it.

"I told you it's nothing."

"Damien. You may be the gang leader, but you're also my best friend. I know when something is up." Rocco said.

"Rocco. Stop." I didn't want to talk about this. Whatever this was. It was nothing.

He stopped talking about it and we sat in silence for the remainder of the ride.

"Ok. Is your earpiece in?" I asked as I parked the car.

"Yeah. And gun loaded?" Rocco patted the gun at his side.

I nodded. "I'll go to the left side windows, you go to the right. Meet back here in 10 minutes."

We headed out and went to our respective locations. There was one guard at the front, but he didn't seem to be doing a good job as he was too busy looking at his phone. I could hear all of them inside.

"Get the liquor, Simon."

"Turn off the goddamn music, Rick!" That was Matteo.

"Is he coming?"

"EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Matteo again.

The place went quiet.

"Listen up. We finally have a place. Don't fuck it up and get us caught. We're close to the Scarlet Vipers." I heard some boo's. "I know. I know they're idiots." We're idiots? One of your guys is out front playing Fortnite on his phone and another one of your guys lost a keychain with his name on it.

"Bruh. I have the perfect visual to shoot him." I heard Rocco whisper on the mic.

I chuckled. "Not yet buddy. Not yet."

"They don't know we've partnered up with the man yet." The man? Who? "With him on our side, we definitely have an advantage over that fucker, Damien."

I clenched my fists out of anger but slowly calmed down. Rocco and I weren't here for a fight right now.

"As long as we keep the man's underground business running smoothly, we'll be supplied for life." I heard cheers and claps.

"What did he give us for now?" Someone asked.

"Ten grand, cocaine, heroin, LSD, and 10 crates of his liquor," Matteo answered. Where the fuck did they get 10 grand and all that? More importantly, who was giving them all this?

The gang roared in celebration. They're fucking drug addicts. Our gang doesn't do that shit.

"If all goes well in the next few months, we'll be ready to attack the Vipers. We'll be getting shipments at the dock every few weeks. They'll never see it coming!" People started clapping and shouting. I had heard enough.

"Rocco. Get back to the car."

We both got in.

"Who were they even talking about? A partner?" I asked first.

"No clue, but sounds like he's definitely supplying them. What do you think they're planning?" Rocco asked.

"I don't know man. But it doesn't look good. We need to tell the gang and get Violet's team to find what they're doing. Looks like the Vipers are attacking the Wolves."

Who's "the man"? Short chapter, but I'll be posting a second one later today, so don't worry. (Hint: It's Naya's date!)
