Hard Knocks (Cashby & Kellic)

Chapter 15

Vic's POV

"Alright," I said, leaning against my knees as Austin, Tony, Jaime and I sat in a circle talking and planning. Of course, Tony and Jaime could barely focus but Austin was paying attention and I guess that was good enough. I wasn't particularly happy about dealing with the gang or Austin considering I still couldn't stand the guy but if I wanted to get Fitz out of Kellin's life for good, I was going to have to do something.

"So we're doing what exactly?"

"I've got to get a few things in order first before I have you take me to the gang house and show that I'm coming back," I told him, running my hand through my hair. "Something to fall back on in case this plan goes to shit, you know?"

"That a good idea."

"That's where Jaime and Tony come in," I said, glaring at the two idiots who were arguing over what kind of pizza to order.

"Will you both listen for ten seconds and then worry about pizza," Austin said gaining their attention.

"Sorry," they both said.

"Okay, so both Jaime and Tony have dealt with the gang before and they're friends with a lot of the people in it but have successfully stayed out of it somehow. But they know how much I've done for the gang and how Spencer owes me," I explained to Austin. "So if Spencer argues with my terms he has to deal with losing two of his biggest sellers, I guess you could call them."

"Wait what?"

"You heard me." I looked at Jaime and Tony. "Believe it or not, these two idiots are the ones who grow all the weed that the gang sells."

"Sometimes we make some of the other stuff too," Jaime piped in. "Except meth. No meth here that shit's terrible."

"Good to know," Austin said.

"So, that's one thing to fall back on, if he doesn't like what I need from him, he can lose his biggest suppliers which means his profit will go down exponentially," I explained.

"Good idea."

I gave him a grim idea and nodded. "So with that, we've got him by the balls. He'll have to do what need him to do. And that's where the best part comes in. There's this thing with the gang where you take care of your own. So the fact that my brother was killed because of the gang, I can get them to help me out with one thing. I get a life for a life. And I'm going to use that on Fitz."

"You're gonna have him killed?" Tony asked.

"I am."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. And it's how Austin is going to get out of the gang, too," I said leaning back and crossing my arms. .

"How so?"

"There's a way to get you out of the gang by doing it this way but I don't know if you're going to like it," I told him.

"What is it?" He asked nervously.

"If you kill someone, you can get out of it. So if you're the one who pulls the trigger, Spencer will let you leave."

"You want me to commit murder?" 

"You don't have to. Trust me, I'd love to be the one who pulled the trigger. But it's the quickest and easiest way to get out of the gang."

Austin nodded, "I'll do it."

"You don't have to," I told him.

"He raped my best friend, Vic. I'll do it. As long as they can make his body disappear and I don't get caught, I'll do it."
