Episode 3: Zeta Sun

Alex and Brian were at a meeting with one of Alex's politician contacts when he suddenly got a phone call.

"Heyyyyyyyy Marco. Can I call you back? I'm in a meeting."

"No. Code Zeta Sun is in effect" Marco said before hanging up.

Alex got a look of shock on his face which quickly turned to anger.

"FUCK! Senator we'll finish this later. Brian on me" Alex said quickly racing to the car.

"The fuck was that about?" 

"Zeta Sun is in effect"

"Care to elaborate?"

 "Ok so I own a nightclub downtown called Reapers. Really high end classy place. Invite only get my drift? The twist is its only accessible to criminals. Its a hub of sorts. A place for criminals to gather and meet on neutral ground. You can drink, fuck, do drug deals, arms deals I dont give a fuck. There is only one rule. Reapers is neutral. No blood is to be shed on the property. Code Zeta Sun is a protocol I set up in the case someone doesn't follow the one fucking rule." Alex explained.

They arrived at Reapers and ran inside. Right upon entering Alex noticed the four dead men in the booth and Marco began to brief him.

"Who are the vics?"

"Four Irish mob lieutenants"

"Instigator?"

"Two Bala hitmen. CCTV shows them entering shooting and booking ass"

"Crazy Albanian pricks. Were they at war?"

"From what we know no"

"Fuck. Cops?"

"Nothing yet but they sprayed Uzis theres no way someone didn't hear and phone it in"

"Ok shit. If the cops come burn the tapes and say they stole them and continue with the Zeta Sun protocol. Me and Brian are going to go have a word with the skipper to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

Alex and Brian drove to Duffy's pub where the Irish Skipper was known to hang out.

"Alex! What a pleasure to see ya lad" The Skipper greeted him.

"McGregor we have an issue"

Fear filled his eyes.

"What the fuck did I do to you Alex?" 

"Nothing. It's about this" Alex said throwing down his phone which had the camera footage playing.

"Are those my fucking guys?!" 

"Yeah with two Albanian hitmen"

"ILL KILL THE FUCKS"

"Incorrect"

"The fuck do you mean incorrect. They slaughtered my fucken guys. I cant let that go unanswered"

"And it won't but I'm not letting you start a petty war over this. The Bala's broke the Reapers rule and I can't let that go unanswered. Ill lead my own strike team into the Bala compound to find Bora. You can come too"

"Shit. Ok then. When?"

"Right now. Meet me there in an hour"

Alex and Brian returned to the car and Alex called Benito to tell him to meet there. They arrived an hour later with Alex, Brian, The Skipper, Benito, and 5 other henchmen. They all put on vests and Benito passed out SIG-SAUER 516 Patrols and Hi-powers as side arms and they all lined up outside the building.

"Lets get this fuck" McGregor said.

Alex put up his hand. "Not yet"

Alex pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Heyyy Al-"

"Shut up Bora. I'm outside your HQ with a tac team and a very pissed off Dean McGregor. You have one minute thirty seconds to get your ass out here before I breach. Mirupafshim"

Forty five seconds passed by and a shot rang out. It came from the building and one of Alex's henchmen fell.

"BREACH!" Alex yelled.

The team entered the building with tactical precision. They took down Bala members with clean shots to the head and kept moving through the building towards Bora's office. He had barricaded himself as well as a few remaining members. Benito pulled out and readied a flashbang as Alex planted a small explosive device on the door. The charge went off and Benito flashed then the rest of the team entered. His three henchmen were quickly dispatched and all that was left was Bora. McGregor took aim at him. Alex reacted quickly pulling out his Hi-power and shooting the rifle out of his hand.

"OW! FUCK! What was that for you bastard?"

"I need him alive"

 Alex walked over to him and put his hand around his throat.

"Why did you break the rule?" Alex calmly asked.

"What fucking rule?" Bora coughed.

"You sent two hitmen to spill blood at Reapers. REAPERS IS NEUTRAL!" Alex said squeezing tighter.

"I never gave such an order" 

"Well too bad you should control your men"

Alex punched him in the face knocking him unconscious. He picked him up and walked outside with the rest of the strike team. While they were inside two Hellcats had appeared outside. One red one blue.  

"Brian with me. Skipper get in the red one and stick close" Alex said as he threw Bora in the trunk" 

"Where the fuck we going?" 

"Oh you'll see"

Alex led them to Santa Monica pier and just before getting there he called McGregor and told him to park his car the opposite direction as his. They got there and Alex got out of his car and threw Bora out of the trunk before grabbing a chain and putting one end around his neck and the other on his hitch. He went to McGregor's car popped the trunk and did the same this time putting the chain around his legs all the while Bora screamed for help and on lookers gathered and called the cops. Alex got back into his car and on the count of three both cars floored it ripping Bora in half at the waist.

"Jesus fucking Christ Alex" Brian said.

"I think that should teach people not to break my rules now" Alex said speeding down the road with the top half of Bora's body still attached to his car.
