The criminal's alpha

Chapter 20

"If you're in the area, I think I have an idea to have some fun ;)" I sent a text to Alex as we crossed the border into Arizona, we made a pitstop in New Mexico and had almost half of their police force chasing us.

"PULL OVER NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO PRISON FOR A LONG TIME, BUDDY!!" The sheriff, I could only assume, yelled over the megaphone, I had two things I could do and both of them were fun, I just didn't know which one I wanted to do.

"Hey, Jack, heads or tails?"

"Heads, why?" He said and I turned around, flipped off the cops, before cupping my hands around my mouth like a megaphone.

"NAH!! I WOULD RATHER NOT!" I yelled at the cops, they were still following us, so that didn't work. I felt my phone buzz in my jeans and pulled it out seeing that it was a call from Alex, so I held up one finger at the cops in a 'Hang on one-second' sort of manner and answered the call.

"You've reached Satan's parlor, this is Jake, how can I be of service?"

"I can think of a few ways, but first tell me, why are you driving through Arizona with a line of cop cars chasing you?"

"I don't know, seemed like a good idea at the time, wanna have some fun?"

"Depends on your meaning of fun, Jakey."

"I don't get it..." I said and heard her sigh and at that point, the cops thought now would be the perfect time to start shooting. One of their shots ricocheted off the cage, so I just kept taunting them at their poor aim.

"I mean, is your definition of fun: Blowing shit up and killing people, or blowing someone  and pleasing them?"

"Depends, but right now it's definitely more of the blowing shit up variety, if you don't want to that's fine, I'm just kinda bored and about to start shooting back," I said and she hung up on me, 'Sigh' I thought and turned the gun towards the cops. I thought I saw the sheriff say 'oh shit' before I pulled the trigger and unloaded a couple hundred rounds into his car. That's when I heard it, howling, I looked around and when I was looking at the car I thought I saw Jack shiver 'This is gonna be fun'.

"Jack! You want a turn?!" I yelled as I continued shooting at the cops, popping some of their tires or causing their cars to outright breakdown. 

"YEAH! LEMME IN THERE," He yelled, and I jumped off the truck and shifted on my way to the ground, when I landed I was on all fours and my fur was ablaze. I howled and smirked when I heard it back, I turned to my side and saw Ashley also shifted and Miguel beside her. I sprinted towards the area where all the cops were, any that weren't dead because of Jack's gunfire, were sprinting to regroup, only to be mauled by either Miguel or someone from Alex's pack. The sheriff had somehow survived being shot at by myself and Jack and was limping away from the gunfire, so I ran around the cops and head-butted him so hard that he fell onto the ground, leaving him defenseless to my razor sharp jaws. After a bit of fighting, a white van pulled up and parked next to the car Jack was in, and out stepped a bald man in a black suit with twenty or so guys behind him, all armed. 'This is interesting' I thought as I shifted back, Alex, Miguel, Ashley, Mark, and Dylan joining me.

"Thank you for helping us with these meddlesome cops, I would like to compensate you for doing so," The bald man said and beckoned two of his men forward, who stepped up and displayed two briefcases full of cash, which didn't faze me in the slightest, the amount wasn't even enough to pay for our car. He looked over at Alex, who was glaring daggers at him, then at me, I didn't know what to do in this situation.

"I don't need cash."

"There's no such thing as too much money, but I'll give you some additional things if you give me my land back," He said and beckoned another two men, who unloaded a steamer trunk from the van and opened it in front of me. Inside there were enough cans of Lucifer's cola and bullets to satisfy me for several years, my eyes widened and both himself and Alex must've seen it because he chuckled and Alex clenched her fists.
