"War. It's in our very nature, and will be, for a long time. Men and women kill each other, sometimes for the dumbest things. Violence breeds Violence. H.G. Wells once said: If we don't end war, war will end us. Hell, I have a few stories from friends, their friends, and a few of my own." Morgan declared, looking at her son and daughters.
"Mom, you were a soldier?" Dante asked, now filled with curiosity.
"Yes, she was. She became a soldier, three years after Carley was born." Rose replied, patting her son's back.
"Well, Mom, can you tell us some stories?" Dante asked, still sitting in Morgan's lap.
"Rose, should I tell them?" Morgan asked, looking over at Rose.
"Go ahead." Rose replied, before she kissed her daughter on the cheek.
(Also, Morgan will have a lot of flashbacks in this story, chapters with a sex scene will have a star in the title, and there's two endings. No Spin-Offs, or Sequels to this one).
A ragtag gang of teens teams up with a neighboring girl gang when a major cartel moves into town, threatening their families, their turf, and the community they've worked so hard to protect.
*****
Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
