Stripped Back (Reaper MC #1)

I looked like GI Joe, a tatted up, bearded really pissed off GI Joe with a man bun.
Nikolai had seeming endless supplies and connections. Now working with thr Reapers with the Rebel alliance our numbers were 5 times bigger then the small group Alexei had.

Nikolai's inside source assured us the Lila was guarded by his man and she would be first out with the Rebels princess and member.
Pumped with enough pain meds to keep me conscious and moving the pain was dull but still there. The mix of adrenaline and pure rage was the fuel that kept my head going.

"You ready?" Doc said stuffing a glock and magazines in his go bag. He was on standby in case Angel got injured.
"5 mins!" Ryder called out strappjng on his bullet proof very as Nikolai loaded a assault rifles magazine speaking to him briefly then looking at me.
Ryder nods looping the rifle strap around his body turning to speak to Bear as everyone organised themselves.

Tucking my guns in there holsters and extra magazines in the vest pockets I checked the straps where velcroed tight looking up to meet Nikolai who had rounded the arms table to stand infront of me.
He was an intimidating man in every way he was like an enigma in his men. He was a born leader and they followed.
I didnt get the feeling Alexei was as respected. Alexeis reign came from fear not from loyalty.
Nikolai and his Bratva may come from dark things but he was good people.

He was a good man.

"I apologize we have met under these terms. I spent many years thinking of the day I would see Angel again. I am thankful she had you to protect her. I am grateful you are her choosen one. You are soulmates. That much is clear. Ive heard the stories, I have heard how you dote on her and Lila. You have my sincerest thanks and gratitude but I promise you. If you ever hurt her again. I will end you" my eyebrow quirked as its continuing threat from earlier. Angel might not now it but he is her guardian whether she knows him or not. This man would die for her and her well being. That was all too clear.

"Never." I vowed and Nikolai extended a hand knodding i embraced it and he shook it firmly.

Saying something loudly in russian rounding the air he clearly instructed everyone we were rolling out.
5 blacked out SUVs packed to the nines with armed men followed by the rebels on there bikes. I made a beeline for Ryder in the front SUV and Nikolai followed.
Doc walked up with his bag and Ryder nodded instructing him to the back seat.
"Doc is by your side at all times."

As i began to protest dragging him along with me Ryder continued
"Its not up for discussion. No more of us will die. It ends today"

I nod in agreement conceding he is right.
"My inside man has secured Lila." Nikolai says as he slides into the passenger seat of the SUV while Ryder and I jump in the back with Doc.

The plan was shock and awe. He was keeping Lila in a dog cage behind a steel door with guard. The guard being an inside man double agent kinda crap. It was thrilled but it was better then nothing. He assured me she was safe with his man guarding her. That he had put measures in place that she would be least effect whatever that meant.

We were 2 mins out from the underground when 3 more SUVs rounded the intersection and we drove down the middle of the empty town street on a mission driving in a barricade rounding the corner Ryder spots Sabres car parked and we all begin to file out.
3 teams move in precision making there way to the tunnel opening. Silencers muffle the sounds of shots as 3 outter guards are taken out. Flicking the safety off my rifle, I unholtser my hand gun and waiting.
Nikolai gave instruction to his 2nd who set up a bomb like charge against the concrete wall that supported the outter side of the underground area.

"30 to detonation" the 2nd nodded and everyone gets in place. Cover so our entrance is unhindered. Time begins to slow as I can hear the echos of yelling of the crowd inside.
The deafening bang was followed but the crumbling of the wall. Surprise danced across multiple stunned faces.

Flurries of gunshots echoed throughout and like knocking glass bottles of the wall Alexei men dropped like flies.

Dead. Dead. Dead.

No quarter. They didnt deserve to live and they could never be trusted again. Mafia took an eye for an eye. Traitors died a traitors death.

Scanning the room i spotted Angel surround in the cage by 3 men she was fighting the remaining 1 left conscious. A few metres away Alexei was screamed at his men pushing through the terrified crowd instructing them to kill her. He was to covered by "innocent" people to outwardly shoot him down now. I made my way across the room and doc stuck to my ass like wet jeans.

"Angel!" I bellowed and her head wiped around scanning the room for me like my voice was a whisper in the wind.
As i got closer i noticed a woman not to dissimilar to her standing behind covered in bruises and scars, Syk was nowhere to be seen and i worried he had been injured severely.

Angels ehes darted to spot Alexei who was screaming at her as he began firing at her.

Angel and the new woman dived for cover scrambling for relief. Alexei stepped out of the cover and fired at the women Angel diving over the smaller woman to protect her crying out.
Alexei shot was soon followed by one that whipped his head back exploding like a burst watermelon. He fell to the ground as the numbers were soon taken care off.

"Evangeline!" Nikolai cried out.

Time slowed further I got to Angel to see her chest was being to seem crimson. Her breathing was weak as she struggled to get air in.

Doc jumped into action and worked on her. Hoping and praying with all I had left she would make it.
