A Little Girl Says To The Hells Angels: “Hello, Sir, My Mom Has a Tattoo Just Like Yours” — What? — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00The diner fell dead silent as six
- 0:02massive bikers in full leather colors
- 0:05stepped through the door.
- 0:06But the real shock didn't come from
- 0:08them. It came from a 6-year-old girl in
- 0:12a pink sundress who tugged a giant
- 0:15biker's sleeve and chirped, "Hello, sir.
- 0:18My mom has a tattoo just like yours."
- 0:21The Mojave Desert in mid-July is an
- 0:24unforgiving place to hide. The heat
- 0:27shimmered off the asphalt of US
- 0:30Route 93 like oil on water, creating
- 0:33mirages that danced ahead of Katherine
- 0:36Hayes' rusted 1998 Volvo sedan.
- 0:40For the past 6 years, she had been
- 0:42living under the name Amanda Davis, a
- 0:45ghost drifting from one cash-in-hand
- 0:47waitressing job to another, always
- 0:50keeping her head down, always paying in
- 0:52small bills. Beside her in the passenger
- 0:55seat sat Lydia humming softly to herself
- 0:58as she colored in a battered princess
- 1:01book. Lydia was six with a head full of
- 1:04untamable blonde curls and a fearless
- 1:07curiosity that Katherine constantly had
- 1:09to keep in check. They had pulled into
- 1:12Alamo, Nevada strictly out of necessity.
- 1:15The Volvo's temperature gauge was
- 1:17creeping dangerously into the red and
- 1:20Katherine needed to let the engine cool.
- 1:23She spotted a dusty sun-bleached diner
- 1:25called The Rusty Spoon and steered the
- 1:27car into the gravel lot. The diner was a
- 1:30relic of the 1970s,
- 1:33smelling of stale coffee, burnt bacon
- 1:35grease, and lemon pine sol. Katherine
- 1:39guided Lydia to a corner booth facing
- 1:41the door.
- 1:43It was a habit born of paranoia. She
- 1:46always needed to see who was coming in.
- 1:48"Can I get a grilled cheese, Mommy?" as
- 1:50dishy and Lydia asked, swinging her legs
- 1:53beneath the table.
- 1:55"Of course, baby." Katherine said,
- 1:57offering a tired smile.
- 2:00She ordered the sandwich for Lydia and a
- 2:02black coffee for herself, counting the
- 2:05crumpled $1 bills in her frayed wallet.
- 2:08$34 left. They had to make it to Idaho
- 2:11by Tuesday. 20 minutes later, the low
- 2:15guttural rumble of heavy V-twin
- 2:17motorcycles echoed across the desert
- 2:20landscape, roaring louder until it
- 2:22vibrated the glass windows of the diner.
- 2:25Catherine's stomach dropped. She knew
- 2:28that sound. It was a sound that had
- 2:30haunted her nightmares since 2015.
- 2:34Six motorcycles pulled into the gravel
- 2:36lot, kicking up clouds of white dust.
- 2:39The men who dismounted were imposing
- 2:41figures clad in heavy denim, heavy
- 2:43boots, and leather cuts adorned with the
- 2:46infamous red and white death's head
- 2:48patch. They were Hells Angels. Catherine
- 2:51froze, her hands gripping her coffee mug
- 2:54so tightly her knuckles turned white.
- 2:57She slouched lower in her vinyl booth,
- 2:59praying to any god that would listen
- 3:01that they were just passing through. The
- 3:04diner door chimed, a cheerful innocent
- 3:07sound that starkly contrasted with the
- 3:09men who walked in. The atmosphere in the
- 3:12room shifted instantly. The few other
- 3:15patrons, a couple of truckers and an
- 3:17elderly couple, suddenly found their
- 3:19meals fascinating, averting their eyes.
- 3:22The waitress, a teenager with braces,
- 3:24swallowed hard and grabbed a pot of
- 3:26coffee with trembling hands. Leading the
- 3:29pack was a man who looked like a
- 3:30mountain carved from scarred flesh and
- 3:33bad intentions. His name patch read
- 3:36Grizzly, and the rocker below his club
- 3:39patch indicated he was from the Oakhaven
- 3:41chapter. He had a thick, graying beard,
- 3:44cold blue eyes, and a deep scar running
- 3:47from his left ear down to his
- 3:49collarbone.
- 3:51Catherine recognized him immediately. It
- 3:53was Dane Peterson. Panic seized her
- 3:56throat. Dane had been her older
- 3:58brother's right-hand man. He'd been at
- 4:01the house the night everything burned to
- 4:03the ground. Catherine's mind raced. She
- 4:06needed to get up. Now. Lydia, finish up.
- 4:11Catherine whispered urgently, sliding
- 4:13out of the booth and fumbling for her
- 4:15purse.
- 4:16Uh, we have [clears throat] to go. But
- 4:18she knocked her purse onto the linoleum
- 4:20floor, spilling her meager belongings,
- 4:23chapstick, loose change, a fake driver's
- 4:27license.
- 4:28Swearing under her breath, she ducked
- 4:30under the table to gather them. It only
- 4:33took 5 seconds. 5 seconds of looking
- 4:35away.
- 4:37When Catherine popped her head back up,
- 4:39the booth across from her was empty.
- 4:41Lydia. She gasped. She whipped her head
- 4:45around. The six bikers had congregated
- 4:48around the main counter waiting for the
- 4:50waitress to clear a large booth.
- 4:52Dane Peterson was leaning against the
- 4:54counter, his massive forearms resting on
- 4:57the laminate surface.
- 4:59His left sleeve was rolled up, exposing
- 5:02a very specific piece of ink on his
- 5:04inner forearm. And standing right next
- 5:07to him, looking up with wide, innocent
- 5:09blue eyes was Lydia. Before Catherine
- 5:12could scream, before she could vault
- 5:14over the table and snatch her daughter
- 5:16away,
- 5:17Lydia reached out a tiny finger and
- 5:20poked the giant biker's heavily tattooed
- 5:23arm.
- 5:24The diner fell dead silent. The other
- 5:26five bikers stopped talking, turning
- 5:28their hard gazes down toward the little
- 5:31girl who had just dared to touch a
- 5:33patched member.
- 5:34Dane looked down, his brow furrowing in
- 5:37irritation. But then Lydia smiled, a
- 5:40bright, gap-toothed grin, and delivered
- 5:43the words that would shatter Catherine's
- 5:45carefully constructed world.
- 5:48Hello, sir. Lydia chirped, a voice
- 5:51carrying clearly across the quiet diner.
- 5:54Huh. My mom has a tattoo just like
- 5:57yours. Dane's expression froze.
- 6:00He didn't brush the kid away. Instead,
- 6:02he looked at his forearm.
- 6:04The tattoo wasn't a standard club logo.
- 6:07It was a deeply personal restricted
- 6:10piece. It depicted a winged skull
- 6:12pierced by a broken dagger with a
- 6:15bleeding black rose wrapping around the
- 6:17hilt. Beneath it, in stark gothic
- 6:20lettering, were the initials D,
- 6:22H, and the year 2015.
- 6:26It was a memorial piece for a murdered
- 6:28chapter president, a tattoo strictly
- 6:30reserved for the inner circle who had
- 6:32sworn blood vengeance for the fallen
- 6:34leader. Outsiders didn't have it, and
- 6:37women certainly didn't have it.
- 6:40Dane's cold blue eyes snapped up from
- 6:42the little girl and swept across the
- 6:44diner. Catherine was standing frozen by
- 6:47her booth, her face drained of all
- 6:50color. She looked like she had seen a
- 6:53ghost. Because as far as the man staring
- 6:56at her was concerned, she was one. "Hold
- 6:59on," Dane rumbled, his voice low and
- 7:01gravelly, carrying an undercurrent of
- 7:03absolute authority. He didn't take his
- 7:06eyes off Catherine as he placed a
- 7:08massive hand gently but firmly on
- 7:11Lydia's shoulder, keeping the child in
- 7:13place.
- 7:15Catherine's maternal instincts finally
- 7:17overrode her sheer terror.
- 7:19She bolted across the diner, ignoring
- 7:22the threatening glares of the other five
- 7:24bikers, and grabbed Lydia's arm, yanking
- 7:27her behind her own body.
- 7:29"Don't touch my daughter," Catherine
- 7:31hissed, her voice shaking violently
- 7:33despite her attempt to sound fierce.
- 7:36One of the other bikers, a wiry man with
- 7:39a neck completely covered in spiderweb
- 7:42tattoos whose patch read Dexter, took a
- 7:45step forward, his hand dropping casually
- 7:48toward his waistline.
- 7:50"Watch your mouth, lady." Dane held up
- 7:52two fingers, stopping Dexter in his
- 7:55tracks.
- 7:56He slowly pushed himself off the
- 7:57counter, towering over Catherine. He
- 8:00smelled of sweat, gasoline, and old
- 8:03leather. "What did your kid just say to
- 8:06me?"
- 8:07Dane
- 8:08tilting his head. "She's a child."
- 8:10Catherine lied frantically, backing up
- 8:13until her spine hit the glass display
- 8:15case housing the diner's stale cherry
- 8:17pies.
- 8:18"She has a vivid imagination. She
- 8:21doesn't know what she's talking about.
- 8:23We're leaving." "Nobody is leaving."
- 8:26Dane said softly.
- 8:27Without turning around, he snapped his
- 8:29fingers. Dexter immediately walked to
- 8:32the front door, flipped the open sign to
- 8:35close and locked the deadbolt. The
- 8:37teenage waitress whimpered and retreated
- 8:40into the kitchen. The elderly couple in
- 8:42the corner looked terrified, but Dane
- 8:44ignored them entirely.
- 8:46"This was club business now. I know
- 8:48every man who wears this ink." Dane
- 8:51said, tapping the memorial tattoo on his
- 8:54forearm.
- 8:55"There are exactly nine of us left
- 8:57alive. So, unless your husband is one of
- 8:59my brothers,
- 9:00your kid is lying or you've got some
- 9:03explaining to do."
- 9:04"I don't have a husband." Catherine
- 9:07stammered. "Please, we're just passing
- 9:09through.
- 9:10I have $30. You can take it. Just let us
- 9:14go." Dane stepped closer, invading her
- 9:18personal space, his imposing frame
- 9:21blocking out the light from the diner
- 9:23windows.
- 9:24He stared intensely at Catherine's face.
- 9:27He cataloged the dark circles under her
- 9:29eyes, the dyed brown hair, the cheap
- 9:32oversized clothes meant to hide a
- 9:35figure. "You look familiar." Dane
- 9:37murmured, his eyes narrowing.
- 9:40"I have one of those faces." She choked
- 9:42out. "No, you don't."
- 9:44Dane reached out. Catherine flinched,
- 9:47turning her head away expecting a blow.
- 9:51Instead, Dane's calloused fingers
- 9:53grabbed the collar of her faded denim
- 9:55jacket. With a swift, forceful tug, he
- 9:59yanked the fabric down over her left
- 10:01shoulder, tearing the collar off her
- 10:04cheap cotton t-shirt in the process.
- 10:07Catherine let out a cry of protest,
- 10:10trying to cover herself, but the damage
- 10:12was done.
- 10:13There, on her left shoulder blade, stark
- 10:16against her pale skin, was the exact
- 10:18same tattoo.
- 10:20The winged skull, the broken dagger,
- 10:23the black rose, and the initials D
- 10:26H 2015.
- 10:28A heavy, suffocating silence descended
- 10:31upon the diner.
- 10:33The bikers standing behind Dane shifted
- 10:35uneasily. Dexter let out a low whistle.
- 10:38Dane dropped his hand, taking a step
- 10:41back as if he had been physically
- 10:43struck.
- 10:44His eyes darted from the tattoo to
- 10:46Catherine's terrified face, tracing the
- 10:49lines of her jaw, the shape of her nose.
- 10:52The layers of cheap hair dye and 6 years
- 10:55of exhaustion couldn't hide the bone
- 10:58structure beneath.
- 11:00Catherine.
- 11:01Dane whispered, his voice cracking with
- 11:04a shock that was entirely
- 11:05uncharacteristic for a hardened one
- 11:07percenter.
- 11:09Cat. Catherine closed her eyes, a single
- 11:12tear escaping and tracking through the
- 11:14dust on her cheek. The charade was over.
- 11:17My name is Amanda, she whispered
- 11:20stubbornly, though the fight had
- 11:22completely left her body. Dane
- 11:26barked. The sudden volume making Lydia
- 11:28jump and bury her face in Catherine's
- 11:31leg. Catherine Hayes died in a house
- 11:33fire in Oakland 6 years ago.
- 11:36Her and her newborn baby. Do I look dead
- 11:39to you, Dane?
- 11:41Catherine snapped back, a sudden spark
- 11:43of defensive rage cutting through her
- 11:45fear.
- 11:47The history between them hung heavy in
- 11:49the diner air.
- 11:50Dominic Hayes, Catherine's older
- 11:52brother, had been the president of the
- 11:55Hells Angels Oakland chapter.
- 11:58He had been a ruthless, but fiercely
- 12:00loyal leader, who had taken Catherine in
- 12:03when their parents died. Dane Peterson
- 12:05had been his vice president, his shadow.
- 12:09In the winter of 2015, the club had been
- 12:12plunged into a bloody war with a rival
- 12:14cartel over a stolen shipment of
- 12:17weapons. Dominic had arranged a peace
- 12:20meeting at his private estate in the
- 12:21hills, but it was a trap. Someone inside
- 12:25the club had sold Dominic out. The
- 12:27cartel hitman arrived executing Dominic
- 12:29and firebombing the house. The club and
- 12:33the police believed Catherine and her
- 12:352-month-old daughter, Lydia, had
- 12:38perished in the inferno. The bodies were
- 12:41unidentifiable due to the intense heat,
- 12:44but the dental records planted by
- 12:46Catherine had convinced the coroner.
- 12:48"You faked it," Dane said, his mind
- 12:51struggling to process the revelation.
- 12:54"You let us bury an empty casket. You
- 12:56let us mourn you." "I didn't have a
- 12:59choice," Catherine yelled, clutching
- 13:01Lydia tighter.
- 13:03"Someone in that clubhouse sold Dom out.
- 13:05I heard the gunshots.
- 13:07I saw the men in the hallway. They
- 13:09weren't just cartel, Dane. They were
- 13:12being led by someone wearing our cut. I
- 13:15didn't know who the rat was. How was I
- 13:18supposed to trust any of you?" Dexter
- 13:20and the other bikers exchanged dark,
- 13:22dangerous looks. Accusing a patched
- 13:25member of betrayal was a death sentence.
- 13:28"Who did you see, Cat?" Dane demanded,
- 13:30leaning in close, his breath hot on her
- 13:32face. "Who let them in?" "I don't know,"
- 13:36Catherine lied. She knew exactly who she
- 13:40had seen, but saying his name in this
- 13:42diner, surrounded by men whose loyalties
- 13:45she couldn't verify, would get her and
- 13:47Lydia killed instantly. "You're lying,"
- 13:50Dane said, reading her face perfectly.
- 13:53He reached out and grabbed her wrist,
- 13:55his grip like a steel vise.
- 13:58"You're coming with us. The chapter
- 14:00needs to know you're alive. They need to
- 14:03know what you saw." "No!"
- 14:06Catherine thrashed, trying to pull away.
- 14:09"You can't take me back there.
- 14:12He's still there, Dane. The man who
- 14:14killed my brother is still at the table,
- 14:17then you're going to point him out to
- 14:18me, and I'll bury a hatchet in his skull
- 14:21myself. Dane growled, pulling her toward
- 14:24the door.
- 14:26Wait, please.
- 14:28Katherine pleaded, digging her heels
- 14:30into the linoleum.
- 14:32Look at me, Dane. If you take me back,
- 14:34we're dead. Me and the kid. I got this
- 14:38tattoo in a basement parlor in Reno 5
- 14:41years ago to never forget what was taken
- 14:43from me.
- 14:44I've lived out of a suitcase eating
- 14:46scraps just to keep Dom's daughter
- 14:49alive.
- 14:50Dane stopped. He looked down at Lydia,
- 14:53who was sobbing now, clutching her
- 14:55mother's torn shirt. He looked at the
- 14:57little girl's bright blue eyes and the
- 14:59stubborn set of her jaw.
- 15:02She was the spitting image of Dominic
- 15:04Hayes. Let go of my mommy, Lydia cried,
- 15:08weakly punching Dane's leather-clad leg.
- 15:11Dane's grip loosened on Katherine's
- 15:14wrist. For a fraction of a second,
- 15:16Katherine saw something flicker behind
- 15:18his cold eyes.
- 15:19Doubt, guilt, maybe.
- 15:22Rizzoli, Dexter called out from the
- 15:24front door, his voice tense.
- 15:27We got a problem. Dane turned. Through
- 15:30the glass of the diner's front window,
- 15:32three black, heavily tinted SUVs had
- 15:36just pulled into the gravel lot, boxing
- 15:39in the bikers' motorcycles and
- 15:40Katherine's rusted Volvo.
- 15:43The doors of the SUVs opened in unison,
- 15:46and a dozen men stepped out into the
- 15:48blistering Nevada heat. They weren't
- 15:50wearing leather or club cuts. They were
- 15:53wearing tactical vests, and they were
- 15:55carrying suppressed automatic weapons.
- 15:58Katherine's blood ran ice cold. The
- 16:01ghosts of Oakland hadn't just found her.
- 16:04They had followed the Hells Angels right
- 16:06to her doorstep. The glass of the
- 16:08diner's front window didn't just break,
- 16:11it completely atomized. Before the crack
- 16:14of the suppressed rifles even
- 16:16registered, a hail of high-caliber
- 16:18bullets shredded the diner's facade. The
- 16:21neon open sign exploded in a shower of
- 16:24sparks and blue glass.
- 16:27The cherry pie display case practically
- 16:29vaporized, sending chunks of stale
- 16:31pastry and shrapnel flying across the
- 16:34room.
- 16:35"Argh! Dane!" Dane roared, moving with a
- 16:38speed that defied his massive frame.
- 16:42He lunged forward, tackling Catherine
- 16:44and Lydia to the grease-stained linoleum
- 16:47floor just as a line of bullet holes
- 16:49stitched across the wall where they had
- 16:51been standing a second prior.
- 16:54Chaos erupted. The teenage waitress
- 16:57screamed from the back kitchen, and the
- 16:59elderly couple huddled under their booth
- 17:01praying in terrified whispers. The Hells
- 17:04Angels didn't freeze. Years of surviving
- 17:07in the violent underbelly of the outlaw
- 17:10world kicked in instantly.
- 17:12Dexter and the four other bikers,
- 17:15Lawson, Griggs, Dutch, and the prospect
- 17:18named Cole drew heavy semi-automatic
- 17:21pistols from their waistbands and
- 17:22immediately laid down suppressing fire
- 17:25through the shattered windows, forcing
- 17:27the advancing tactical team to duck
- 17:29behind the rusted husks of the bikers'
- 17:32motorcycles.
- 17:33The air instantly thickened with the
- 17:35acrid stench of cordite, atomized
- 17:38drywall, and burnt coffee. "Does the
- 17:43kitchen move?"
- 17:45Dane bellowed over the deafening roar of
- 17:47gunfire. He grabbed Catherine by the
- 17:50back of her denim jacket, practically
- 17:53dragging her across the floor while she
- 17:55kept her body curled protectively over a
- 17:57sobbing Lydia. They scrambled behind the
- 17:59stainless steel prep counters of the
- 18:01kitchen, the heavy metal providing a
- 18:04temporary barrier against the relentless
- 18:07assault outside. Dane ducked down beside
- 18:10them, slapping a fresh magazine into his
- 18:13customized 1911 pistol. Blood was
- 18:16trickling down his cheek from a A cut
- 18:19caused by flying glass, but his ice blue
- 18:22eyes were frighteningly calm.
- 18:25"Who the hell are they?" Dexter shouted,
- 18:28sliding into the kitchen next to Dane.
- 18:31"Cartel? They look like damn military
- 18:33contractors. They're tying up loose
- 18:36ends." Dane growled, peering around the
- 18:39edge of the swinging kitchen door.
- 18:41He looked down at Catherine, his
- 18:43expression hardening.
- 18:45"You didn't answer my question before
- 18:47the world started ending, Cat. Who did
- 18:50you see that night in Oakland? Who sold
- 18:52out your brother?" Catherine clutched
- 18:54Lydia to her chest, her breathing
- 18:56ragged. The deafening pop of gunfire
- 18:59outside punctuated her silence.
- 19:02She looked at the men surrounding her
- 19:04men, who wore the same patch as the man
- 19:06who had ordered her death.
- 19:08"If I tell you," Catherine choked out,
- 19:11"you won't believe me. You'll kill me."
- 19:14>> [snorts]
- 19:15[gasps]
- 19:15>> "Look around you, sweetheart."
- 19:18Lawson yelled, firing blindly over the
- 19:20counter. "We're all about to die anyway.
- 19:24Spill it."
- 19:25Outside, the gunfire briefly paused. A
- 19:29voice, amplified by a megaphone, echoed
- 19:32across the scorching asphalt of the
- 19:34parking lot. "Dane Peterson, this is not
- 19:37your fight. We only want the woman and
- 19:40the kid. Send them out and the Angels
- 19:42ride away free.
- 19:44You have my word." Dane's grip on his
- 19:47pistol tightened until his knuckles
- 19:49popped. He knew that voice. It was
- 19:51smooth, authoritative, and laced with an
- 19:55arrogant drawl that Dane had listened to
- 19:57at the head of the clubhouse table for
- 19:59the past 6 years.
- 20:01It was Sullivan, the current president
- 20:04of the Oakland chapter.
- 20:06The man who had taken the gavel after
- 20:08Dominic's murder.
- 20:09Dane slowly turned his head to look at
- 20:12Catherine. The color had completely
- 20:14drained from her face, her eyes wide
- 20:17with terror as she recognized the voice
- 20:19over the megaphone. "It was him,"
- 20:22Catherine whispered, her voice trembling
- 20:24but resolute. "D- Six years ago,
- 20:28I hid in the nursery closet. I saw the
- 20:31cartel hit men walking down the hallway.
- 20:34And Sullivan was leading them. He handed
- 20:37them the keys to Don's safe.
- 20:39He ordered them to burn the house with
- 20:41me and Lydia inside to secure his
- 20:43presidency." The revelation hit the
- 20:45kitchen like a physical shockwave.
- 20:48Dexter lowered his gun, staring at
- 20:50Catherine in sheer disbelief. Griggs and
- 20:53Lawson exchanged horrified glances. The
- 20:56silence inside the kitchen was heavier
- 20:58than the gunfire outside. To betray a
- 21:01brother was the ultimate sin. To murder
- 21:04a brother's family was unspeakable.
- 21:07"Sullivan." Dane whispered, the name
- 21:10tasting like ash in his mouth. He
- 21:12realized with sickening clarity what was
- 21:15happening. Sullivan had tracked Dane's
- 21:18crew. The president knew Dane had always
- 21:20been fiercely loyal to Dominic, a loose
- 21:23end that never quite settled. When
- 21:25Sullivan discovered Catherine was still
- 21:27alive, he knew he couldn't let Dane
- 21:30bring her back to Oakland. It would mean
- 21:33a club civil war. It was easier to hire
- 21:35mercenaries to wipe out Catherine,
- 21:38Lydia, and Dane's entire loyalist crew
- 21:40in one quiet desert shootout.
- 21:43"You have 60 seconds, Dane." Sullivan's
- 21:47voice boomed from the megaphone.
- 21:50"Don't die for a ghost." Dexter looked
- 21:53at Dane, his spider web neck tattoos
- 21:56twitching as he swallowed hard.
- 21:58"Grizzly, what's the play?"
- 22:01"We're outgunned, outmanned, and boxed
- 22:04in."
- 22:05>> [sighs]
- 22:06>> Dane looked down at the little girl
- 22:08trembling in Catherine's arms. He saw
- 22:11the exact same stubborn, defiant spark
- 22:14in Lydia's eyes that her father used to
- 22:17have. Dominic had been more than a
- 22:19president to Dane. He had been a
- 22:22brother. And Dane had failed to protect
- 22:25him. He wasn't going to fail twice.
- 22:28Dane reached up to his leather cut. With
- 22:30a violent tearing sound, he ripped the
- 22:33Oakland bottom rocker right off his
- 22:35vest. He threw the scrap of leather onto
- 22:38the grease-stained floor.
- 22:39Huh. The club is dead, Dane rumbled, his
- 22:43voice dark and deadly. That man out
- 22:46there ain't my president.
- 22:48This is about blood now.
- 22:51He looked up at his men.
- 22:54Any man who wants to walk out that back
- 22:56door and take his chances, do it now.
- 23:00No judgment. Dexter scoffed, racking the
- 23:03slide of his pistol. I always hated
- 23:06Sullivan anyway. Let's send these
- 23:08bastards to hell. Lawson, Griggs, Dutch,
- 23:12and Cole all nodded. Their faces
- 23:14hardened into masks of absolute resolve.
- 23:17They weren't fighting for a patch
- 23:19anymore. They were fighting for the
- 23:21little girl who wore their fallen
- 23:23brother's face.
- 23:25Listen to me, Hassain said, turning to
- 23:28Catherine. He pointed toward a heavy
- 23:30steel door at the back of the kitchen.
- 23:32Leads to an alley behind the diner. The
- 23:35owner has an old Ford pickup truck
- 23:37parked out there. The keys are always
- 23:40above the visor. When the shooting
- 23:43starts, you take Lydia and you run.
- 23:46Do not look back. You drive until you
- 23:49hit Idaho and you never use the name
- 23:51Catherine Hayes again. Val, Dane,
- 23:54they'll kill you, Catherine cried,
- 23:57grabbing his massive arm. They're going
- 23:59to try, Dane grinned, a terrifying
- 24:02blood-soaked smile that bared his teeth.
- 24:05He reached into his pocket and pressed a
- 24:07thick roll of hundred-dollar bills into
- 24:10a hand club funds.
- 24:13Take care of Dom's kid. Time's up,
- 24:16Peterson.
- 24:19Sullivan shouted from outside.
- 24:23Give them hell, boys, Dane roared. The
- 24:26Hell's Angels exploded from the kitchen,
- 24:28unleashing a wall of suppressive fire.
- 24:32The mercenaries, expecting a surrender,
- 24:34were caught off guard. Cole dropped the
- 24:36first mercenary with a clean shot to the
- 24:38chest, but the return fire was
- 24:40devastating.
- 24:42High-caliber rounds tore through the
- 24:44diner walls like paper.
- 24:46Griggs took a bullet to the shoulder and
- 24:48spun to the floor, cursing violently but
- 24:52continuing to fire one-handed. Dexter
- 24:55vaulted over the main counter, drawing
- 24:58the mercenaries' fire as he entered two
- 25:00clips into the nearest SUV, shattering
- 25:03its windshield and forcing the gunmen to
- 25:06scatter.
- 25:07"Go! Now!" Dane screamed at Catherine.
- 25:10Catherine scooped Lydia into her arms,
- 25:13hoisted the terrified child onto her
- 25:16hip, and kicked open the heavy steel
- 25:18back door.
- 25:20The blinding Nevada sun hit her face
- 25:22along with the blistering heat. True to
- 25:25Dane's word, a rusted blue Ford pickup
- 25:28was sitting in the dusty alleyway. She
- 25:30sprinted toward it, her boots kicking up
- 25:33clouds of dirt. Behind her, the sounds
- 25:36of war raged inside the diner, the
- 25:39booming of handguns, the terrifying
- 25:42rattle of automatic rifles, and the
- 25:44agonizing screams of men.
- 25:47Catherine yanked the driver's side door
- 25:50open, threw Lydia onto the bench seat,
- 25:53and climbed in.
- 25:54She frantically patted the sun visor.
- 25:57The cold metal of the keys dropped into
- 25:59her palm. Inside the diner, the
- 26:02situation was deteriorating rapidly. The
- 26:05mercenaries were pushing through the
- 26:07shattered front doors, heavily armored
- 26:09and moving with tactical precision.
- 26:12"Dutch, the fryers!" Dane yelled over
- 26:15the din.
- 26:17Dutch, taking cover behind the grill,
- 26:19understood instantly. He reached up and
- 26:22violently wrenched the main commercial
- 26:24gas line running to the deep fryers,
- 26:26snapping the valve. A thick hissing
- 26:28sound filled the kitchen as highly
- 26:31flammable gas poured into the room.
- 26:34"Fall back out the side window." Dane
- 26:37ordered. The bikers scrambled toward a
- 26:40small narrow window near the bathrooms.
- 26:43Dexter and Cole shoved the wounded
- 26:45Griggs through first, then climbed out
- 26:47themselves. Dane was the last man in the
- 26:50main room, laying down heavy cover fire
- 26:54as the tactical team breached the
- 26:55kitchen swinging doors.
- 26:58He saw the laser sights of their rifles
- 27:00cutting through the dusty air, locking
- 27:03onto his chest. Dane grabbed a
- 27:05half-empty bottle of cheap whiskey from
- 27:08the counter, stuffed a napkin into the
- 27:10neck, and flicked his Zippo lighter.
- 27:13He lit the makeshift Molotov, looked the
- 27:16lead mercenary dead in the eyes, and
- 27:18hurled the flaming bottle straight into
- 27:21the gas-filled kitchen. "Sir, then Dom."
- 27:24Dane whispered. He dove headfirst
- 27:26through the side window just as the
- 27:28spark hit the gas.
- 27:30The explosion was catastrophic. The
- 27:32entire back half of the Rusty Spoon
- 27:34detonated in a massive fireball of
- 27:37roaring orange flames and twisting
- 27:39metal. The shockwave blew out every
- 27:42remaining window in a 50-ft radius and
- 27:45sent the roof of the diner caving in on
- 27:48the tactical team and Sullivan, burying
- 27:50them in a fiery tomb of concrete and
- 27:53grease.
- 27:54The concussive force picked Dane up and
- 27:56threw him violently onto the gravel
- 27:58alleyway. The world rang in his ears, a
- 28:02high-pitched whine drowning out the
- 28:04crackling of the roaring fire. He laid
- 28:07in the dirt, his vision swimming, ribs
- 28:10feeling like they had been shattered by
- 28:12a sledgehammer.
- 28:13Through the blur, he saw the blue Ford
- 28:15pickup roaring to life. Catherine
- 28:17slammed the truck into gear. She looked
- 28:20in the rearview mirror, watching the
- 28:22diner burn against the stark backdrop of
- 28:24the Mojave desert. She saw Dane slowly
- 28:27staggering to his feet in the alleyway,
- 28:30supported by Dexter and Dutch. They were
- 28:33bruised, bloody, and broken, but they
- 28:36were alive. Dane locked eyes with
- 28:38Catherine through the mirror.
- 28:40He gave a slow, solemn nod, a final
- 28:43goodbye.
- 28:44A promise kept. Catherine hit the gas,
- 28:47the tires spinning in the dirt before
- 28:49finding purchase on the asphalt. As the
- 28:52truck sped away onto Route 93,
- 28:55leaving the smoke and the ghosts of
- 28:57Oakland far behind them. Lydia climbed
- 29:00up from the floorboards and peeked over
- 29:02the dashboard. "Mommy?" Lydia asked
- 29:05softly, wiping soot from her cheek.
- 29:09"Are the scary men gone?"
- 29:11Catherine reached over, pulling her
- 29:13daughter close and kissing the top of
- 29:14her blonde curls.
- 29:16The fear that had gripped her chest for
- 29:18six years was finally completely gone.
- 29:22"Yes, baby." Catherine said, her voice
- 29:25steady and strong as she drove toward
- 29:27the horizon.
- 29:28"Scary men are gone.
- 29:31Your daddy's friends took care of them."
