Chapter 286 - The Underdogs Strongest Squad
The Underdogs had known that the Grey Elephants gang had been planning something. In fact, they had been tipped off that it was to start today. However, Brandon had been smart enough to keep the plans of what exactly would happen to himself and Raven.
With both gangs being as big as they were, it was impossible to guarantee that there were no moles. In fact, Raven had gone one step further and had advised his old time friend to tell the different teams, only the area they would have to drive to. That way the Underdogs would be in for a surprise.
Nevertheless, armed with the knowledge that ‘something’ would go down, Damion had sent out Kirk along with the Cheetah Squad that consisted of five members to the Grey Elephant’s factory ahead of the attack. These were his number one squad force and his most trusted as well.
The factory wasn’t just any regular factory, it was the place where the Grey Elephants’ main income came from, and it was rumoured to be where the leaders would often be at as well.
The Cheetah Squad were considered the strongest group in the Underdogs. They had never failed a job before, and that was mainly due to the leader of the Cheetah Squad being an Altered. Today was no different.
Kirk stood there in the centre of the factory that manufactured particular parts for cars, but right now it was no longer operating. The machines had stopped, and it was a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. A worker"s face had been shoved into the a.s.sembly line and was bleeding.
The group didn’t care if they were part of the Grey Elephants or not, all of them were to be punished and dealt with. It was the risk one took when deciding who they would be paying to protect them.
What looked like countless gang members had been defeated all around, and the clothes of the Cheetah Squad themselves were no longer black, but stained red. Placing his phone back in his pocket, Kirk took in a big breath.
“Alright, everyone, it looks like we had a busy day today. We were a little too late, and the Grey Elephants seem to have already started attacking all over the place.” Kirk sighed. “We need to get moving, but before we go, we have one more order. To make sure, this place won’t be in operating condition for a while. If we can’t beat them head on in this war, or they continue to run away from us, that"s fine. We’ll just hit them with their finances. Forcing them to come out eventually.”
A few minutes later the group were seen leaving the place with a few explosions going off and being heard in the background. The whole factory would have to be rebuilt, and as for the people inside, they probably would never be able to walk another day in their life.
Outside, there were two vehicles waiting for them, getting in. They were on their way to the area closest where the attacks were taking place. While in the car, though, Kirk leaned forward, resting his head against the seat in front of him.
“How many were in that factory?” Kirk asked.
“About twenty, Sir.” The man next to him answered.
“Add that to my list, make sure it"s updated.” Kirk ordered while clenching his fist. The others in the car stayed silent, not saying a thing.
‘How long will I have to keep doing this for, and… will all my bad sins be forgiven?’ Kirk started to wonder. ‘The only way I can stay sane, is to make up for all those I have hurt, and use my strength to save others.’
The car stayed silent until they reached the next area and the sound of screams could be heard.
“We are finally here, Sir, from the news we have received, they seem to be crazed Altered that have been taken over by their other side.” The man said as he got out of the car, opening the door for Kirk.
They group had stopped on the other side of a bridge that would lead to a small little local bar area that the Underdogs owned. It was quite the popular area for night drinking on the outside for people. Often there would be those that would go on what was known as a pub crawl. Hitting all the bars in the area before they arrived at home. It was why the Underdogs had made it their place of business due to the nice profits they all owned.
Not only did they help deal with other gang members, but also the drunken customers that would like to cause trouble as well. It was one of the few places that actually welcomed the Underdogs and their business, as it allowed them to run more smoothly.
Today, though, there weren’t any happy customers, instead there was fear in their eyes.
While running over the bridge, Kirk could see what looked like a couple that were at the very back. It was a young man along with a woman. However, the woman was struggling to run as she had high heels. In the end, one of her shoes eventually snapped.
The man quickly turned around to help his partner, but could see that the creatures that had been chasing behind them weren"t too far behind.
“I’m… I’m sorry!” The man shouted as he turned around and ran, abandoning her.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” The woman cursed as she threw her high heels away, and attempted to get up, but looking behind, she could see the creature was close to her. The next second though, she could feel the wind on her face, and when she looked up, instead of the creature there was a man with yellow coloured skin and spots over his body.
The creature was seen off in the distance, its face b.l.o.o.d.y. At the same time, the man that stood by her side had a b.l.o.o.d.y fist.
