No One Wanted the Job at a Hells Angels Bar — She Took It and Found a New Life — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Neon flickered against the cracked
- 0:01pavement, illuminating a help wanted
- 0:04sign no sane person would ever answer.
- 0:09Desperation, however, doesn't care about
- 0:12sanity.
- 0:13When you have $20 to your name and a
- 0:15violent shadow hunting your every step,
- 0:18pouring drinks for the Hells Angels
- 0:21suddenly looks exactly like salvation.
- 0:24Samantha Collins clutched her worn denim
- 0:26jacket tightly against the biting
- 0:29October wind, her knuckles white and
- 0:31trembling. The industrial district of
- 0:33San Bernardino was unforgiving at
- 0:36midnight, a wasteland of abandoned
- 0:39warehouses and chain-link fences.
- 0:42Yet the cold was nothing compared to the
- 0:44dull aching bruises fading into a sickly
- 0:48yellow on her ribs.
- 0:49Ruben had promised he would kill her if
- 0:51she ever left him.
- 0:53He was a man of his word, a
- 0:55well-connected local politician whose
- 0:57polished public image hid a monstrous
- 1:00private reality. For 3 weeks, Samantha
- 1:03had been a ghost moving from one
- 1:06roach-infested motel to another,
- 1:08scrubbing floors for under-the-table
- 1:10cash that barely covered a stale
- 1:12sandwich and a sagging mattress.
- 1:15She was out of time, out of money, and
- 1:17completely out of places to hide.
- 1:20That was when she heard the low guttural
- 1:22roar of heavy American machinery.
- 1:25Down a dead-end street, a line of custom
- 1:27Harley-Davidsons sat angled against the
- 1:30curb like resting beasts of prey. Beyond
- 1:34them stood a windowless cinderblock
- 1:36building painted entirely black. Above
- 1:39the heavy steel door, a neon sign buzzed
- 1:42ominously, The Devil's Keep.
- 1:45It was a known fact in the city that
- 1:47this was the undisputed territory of the
- 1:51Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.
- 1:53Cops didn't patrol this street. City
- 1:56inspectors didn't cite the building.
- 1:58It existed entirely outside the bounds
- 2:01of civilized law.
- 2:03Taped to the reinforced steel door was a
- 2:05piece of ripped cardboard, written in
- 2:08thick, angry black marker, were the
- 2:10words, "Bartender wanted.
- 2:13Keep your mouth shut or don't knock."
- 2:16No woman in her right mind would walk
- 2:18into a room full of outlaws,
- 2:21but Samantha wasn't in her right mind.
- 2:23She was in survival mode. The police
- 2:26wouldn't protect her from Ruben.
- 2:28Society had turned a blind eye to her
- 2:31suffering.
- 2:32The only place the devil couldn't reach
- 2:34her was in a place where bigger demons
- 2:37resided.
- 2:39She pushed the heavy door open. The
- 2:41immediate smell was an intoxicating,
- 2:43suffocating mix of stale beer, heavy
- 2:45cigarette smoke, raw exhaust, and old
- 2:49leather.
- 2:50The jukebox was blasting a gritty
- 2:52classic rock anthem, but the music
- 2:54barely covered the low, dangerous hum of
- 2:5630 hardened men.
- 2:59Every surface was scarred, the wood of
- 3:01the bar, the felt of the pool tables,
- 3:03and the faces of the patrons.
- 3:06Men in heavy leather cuts, bearing the
- 3:08infamous winged death's head patch on
- 3:11their backs, turned to stare at her. The
- 3:14silence that swept through the room was
- 3:16immediate and suffocating.
- 3:18A mountain of a man sitting at the
- 3:20center of the bar slowly rotated on his
- 3:22stool.
- 3:24He had a thick, graying beard, arms
- 3:26entirely sleeved in faded ink, and a
- 3:29jagged scar that ran from his left ear
- 3:32down to his collarbone.
- 3:34The patch on his chest read,
- 3:36"President."
- 3:37"You lost, sweetheart."
- 3:39His voice was a deep, gravelly rumble
- 3:42that vibrated in Samantha's chest.
- 3:45"Church choir is three blocks down."
- 3:47Samantha forced her trembling legs to
- 3:49walk forward. She didn't break eye
- 3:51contact.
- 3:53I'm looking for the boss. The sign
- 3:54outside says you need a bartender.
- 3:57A few of the men chuckled a low
- 3:59predatory sound. The president raised a
- 4:02massive hand and the room went dead
- 4:04silent again.
- 4:06He looked her up and down, his dark eyes
- 4:09analyzing every detail, her frayed
- 4:11jacket, the exhaustion in her posture,
- 4:14and the faint unmistakable shadow of a
- 4:16fading black eye that makeup couldn't
- 4:18entirely hide. I'm Emery, he said taking
- 4:22a slow drag from a cigarette.
- 4:24They call me Grizzly.
- 4:26You don't look like you can lift a keg,
- 4:28girl.
- 4:29And you definitely don't look like you
- 4:30can handle the clientele.
- 4:33My name is Samantha, she replied keeping
- 4:36her voice steady despite the rapid
- 4:38hammering of her heart.
- 4:41I don't need to lift a keg, I can roll
- 4:42it.
- 4:43I pour fast, I don't short the till, and
- 4:46I don't ask questions.
- 4:48I need a job.
- 4:50You need someone who isn't afraid of the
- 4:52dark.
- 4:53I think we can help each other. Grizzly
- 4:55exhaled a thick cloud of gray smoke.
- 4:59Behind him, a younger man with piercing
- 5:02blue eyes and a rigid athletic build
- 5:04leaned against the liquor cabinet. His
- 5:07patch read sergeant at arms. His name
- 5:10tag said Wyatt.
- 5:13He watched Samantha with a cold,
- 5:14calculating intensity.
- 5:17She's running from something, boss,
- 5:19Wyatt stated flatly, his voice devoid of
- 5:22emotion.
- 5:23Trouble follows runners. We don't need
- 5:25outside heat in the clubhouse.
- 5:28Samantha shifted her gaze to Wyatt. The
- 5:30trouble I'm running from wears a suit
- 5:33and pays off the local precinct. He
- 5:36won't step foot in a Hells Angels bar.
- 5:39He's too much of a coward. If you give
- 5:41me the job, I work. That's it. You'll
- 5:44never even know I'm here.
- 5:46Grizzly stared at for a long agonizing
- 5:49minute.
- 5:50He saw the desperation, but he also saw
- 5:53the ironclad resolve of a woman backed
- 5:56into a corner.
- 5:57Outlaws recognized outcasts.
- 6:00Trial run.
- 6:02Grizzly finally grunted, crushing his
- 6:04cigarette into a glass ashtray.
- 6:07You start now. Minimum wage under the
- 6:09table. You mess up a drink, you're out.
- 6:12You look at club business, you're out.
- 6:14You bring the cops to my door.
- 6:17He didn't finish the sentence, but the
- 6:19implied violence hung heavy in the air.
- 6:23Understood. Samantha said, pulling off
- 6:26her jacket and walking directly behind
- 6:28the bar.
- 6:29That first night was a baptism by fire.
- 6:32The orders came fast and furious.
- 6:35Whiskey neat, cheap drafts, complex
- 6:38shots with crude names. The men were
- 6:40intimidating, loud, and constantly
- 6:43tested her boundaries.
- 6:44They slammed empty glasses on the
- 6:46counter, demanding immediate service.
- 6:50They threw crude jokes her way to see if
- 6:52she would blush or break.
- 6:55Samantha did neither.
- 6:57She moved with mechanical efficiency,
- 6:59her face a stoic mask.
- 7:02When a massive biker nicknamed Meat
- 7:04grabbed her wrist as she handed him a
- 7:06beer, she didn't scream or pull away.
- 7:09She just stared at his hand, then up at
- 7:12his eyes. "If you spill the beer, Meat,
- 7:15you're paying for it twice." She said
- 7:18evenly.
- 7:20Meat burst into a booming laugh,
- 7:22released her hand, and slapped a $50
- 7:24bill on the bar.
- 7:26"Keep the change, Sammy."
- 7:29From his corner booth, Grizzly watched
- 7:31the exchange. He caught Wyatt's eye and
- 7:33gave a nearly imperceptible nod.
- 7:35Samantha had passed the first test. She
- 7:38hadn't flinched. Weeks bled into months,
- 7:41and Samantha slowly became a fixture at
- 7:43the Devil's Keep. The fear that had
- 7:45paralyzed her upon arrival mutated into
- 7:48a hyper-vigilant awareness.
- 7:51She learned the unspoken hierarchy of
- 7:53the Hells Angels. She knew to serve the
- 7:55fully patched members before the
- 7:57prospects, the young men vying for a
- 8:00place in the club who were tasked with
- 8:02the grunt work. She learned that when
- 8:05the men filed into the soundproof back
- 8:07room for church, their official
- 8:09meetings, she was to turn up the
- 8:11jukebox, lock the front door, and scrub
- 8:13the bar down, ignoring any raised voices
- 8:16that bled through the walls.
- 8:18The club was a violent, chaotic
- 8:20ecosystem, but to Samantha's surprise,
- 8:23it was also governed by a strict,
- 8:25unbreakable code of loyalty.
- 8:28To the outside world, these men were
- 8:30menaces.
- 8:32Inside these walls, they were brothers,
- 8:34and strangely, as the weeks passed, they
- 8:37began to view her as an extension of
- 8:39their territory.
- 8:41She wasn't one of them, but she was
- 8:43theirs to protect.
- 8:44Wyatt, the sergeant at arms, remained
- 8:46her biggest skeptic.
- 8:48He was a man of few words, a
- 8:50terrifyingly efficient enforcer who
- 8:53handled the club's physical conflicts
- 8:55with clinical precision.
- 8:57Yet, he was always watching her.
- 8:59Whenever a non-member patron wandered
- 9:01into the bar and looked at Samantha a
- 9:03second too long, Wyatt would materialize
- 9:06from the shadows, resting his hand
- 9:08casually on his belt until the stranger
- 9:11looked away.
- 9:12The twist in Samantha's new reality came
- 9:15on a stormy Tuesday night in late
- 9:17November.
- 9:19The bar was mostly empty, save for Wyatt
- 9:21and two prospects playing pool in the
- 9:23back. Grizzly was out of town on club
- 9:26business. A heavy rain was lashing
- 9:28against the windowless walls. Samantha
- 9:30was in the storage room taking inventory
- 9:33of the liquor when she heard the back
- 9:35delivery door rattle.
- 9:37She paused, gripping the neck of a heavy
- 9:39tequila bottle.
- 9:40Deliveries never came at night.
- 9:43The door swung open
- 9:45and a drenched, panicked prospect named
- 9:48Tommy stumbled in, clutching a heavy
- 9:50black canvas duffel bag to his chest. He
- 9:53looked terrified. Blood was dripping
- 9:56from a gash on his forehead.
- 9:58Tommy,
- 9:59"What the hell?" Samantha hissed,
- 10:01dropping the bottle and rushing over. "I
- 10:04messed up, Sammy."
- 10:06Tommy gasped, dropping the heavy bag
- 10:08onto a pallet of beer kegs. The canvas
- 10:11fell open, revealing not drugs or cash,
- 10:14but stacks of pristine military-grade
- 10:17assault rifles.
- 10:18Samantha froze. She knew the club
- 10:21operated outside the law, but seeing it
- 10:23laid bare in front of her was entirely
- 10:26different.
- 10:27"The drop went bad," Tommy stammered,
- 10:30pacing frantically.
- 10:32"The rival crew, the Vipers, they knew
- 10:33about the transport. They ambushed us on
- 10:36Highway 9. I managed to lose them, but
- 10:39they got my plates.
- 10:41If Grizzly finds out I brought this heat
- 10:43back to the clubhouse,
- 10:45Wyatt will kill me, Sammy. He'll
- 10:47literally kill me."
- 10:49Before Samantha could process the
- 10:51gravity of the situation, the roar of
- 10:53unfamiliar engines echoed in the
- 10:56alleyway outside.
- 10:57The Vipers had tracked him.
- 10:59Panic seized Tommy's face. He looked
- 11:02ready to bolt, leaving the guns and
- 11:04Samantha behind.
- 11:05Instinct sharpened by years of surviving
- 11:08a sociopathic husband took over. "Shut
- 11:11up and listen to me." Samantha snapped,
- 11:14her voice carrying a terrifying
- 11:16authority that shocked the young biker.
- 11:19"Grab that tarp, cover the bag, push it
- 11:21behind the empty kegs.
- 11:24Now." Tommy scrambled to obey. "Get your
- 11:27cut-off," she ordered. "You're bleeding
- 11:29on the floor. Take off the leather, put
- 11:31on an apron, and grab a mop. You're a
- 11:33barback cleaning up a spill.
- 11:36If they come through that door, you
- 11:38don't say a word. I do the talking.
- 11:42Seconds later, the back door was kicked
- 11:44open. Three massive men wearing the
- 11:46green and black colors of the Vipers
- 11:48stepped into the dim storage room. They
- 11:51were soaked, armed, and vibrating with
- 11:54adrenaline.
- 11:56Where is he?
- 11:57The lead Viper demanded his hand resting
- 12:00on the grip of a pistol tucked into his
- 12:02waistband.
- 12:04Samantha didn't blink. She stood holding
- 12:06a clipboard looking thoroughly annoyed
- 12:08by the interruption.
- 12:10She glanced at the men, then at their
- 12:12muddy boots. You're tracking mud onto a
- 12:15floor I just had my barback mop.
- 12:19Samantha said her voice dripping with
- 12:21venomous irritation.
- 12:23She gestured to Tommy who was furiously
- 12:25mopping the floor in a stained apron,
- 12:28his Hell's Angels cut hidden beneath a
- 12:30pile of rags.
- 12:32This is a private delivery entrance. The
- 12:34front door is on the street. If you want
- 12:37to drink, go around. If you don't, get
- 12:39out.
- 12:40The Viper sneered stepping closer.
- 12:43Don't play stupid, sweetheart. A kid on
- 12:46a Harley just pulled into this alley. We
- 12:48want what he's carrying.
- 12:50I don't know what you're talking about.
- 12:53Samantha lied smoothly stepping directly
- 12:56into the man's personal space radiating
- 12:58an icy confidence she didn't feel.
- 13:01The only thing that came through that
- 13:03alley is a stray cat.
- 13:06And now you three.
- 13:09Now I know you boys aren't locals
- 13:11because if you were, you'd know whose
- 13:14building you just kicked your way into.
- 13:17Grizzly Patterson doesn't like strangers
- 13:19in his stockroom, and Wyatt Mitchell is
- 13:22sitting 30 ft away in the main bar.
- 13:25Should I go get him, or are you going to
- 13:27leave quietly?
- 13:30At the mention of Wyatt's name, the
- 13:32three Vipers exchanged a nervous glance.
- 13:36Wyatt's reputation for brutality
- 13:38extended far beyond city limits.
- 13:41The lead Viper looked at Samantha, then
- 13:43at the trembling bar back, entirely
- 13:46missing the hidden duffel bag. "This
- 13:48ain't over." the Viper spat before
- 13:51turning and shoving his men back out
- 13:53into the rain. Samantha waited until the
- 13:56sound of their engines faded into the
- 13:58storm before she let out a shaky breath,
- 14:01her knees nearly buckling.
- 14:03Tommy collapsed against the wall weeping
- 14:06in relief.
- 14:08"You saved my life, Sammy."
- 14:10Tommy choked out.
- 14:11"Clean up the blood."
- 14:13she whispered, her voice finally
- 14:15trembling.
- 14:16When Samantha finally walked back out to
- 14:18the main bar, Wyatt was waiting.
- 14:21He was leaning against the counter, a
- 14:23lit cigarette dangling from his lips.
- 14:26He hadn't been playing pool. He had been
- 14:29standing right by the stock room door.
- 14:31He had heard everything.
- 14:33Samantha froze, waiting for the enforcer
- 14:36to drag her to the basement for
- 14:38interfering in club business.
- 14:40Instead, Wyatt reached over the bar,
- 14:43grabbed two shot glasses, and poured a
- 14:47generous measure of top-shelf whiskey
- 14:49into both.
- 14:51He slid one across the polished wood
- 14:53toward her.
- 14:54He raised his glass, his cold blue eyes
- 14:58locking onto hers.
- 15:00For the first time since she met him,
- 15:02Wyatt smiled.
- 15:04It was a small, dangerous smile. "To the
- 15:07newest prospect." Wyatt said softly.
- 15:11He downed the shot.
- 15:13Samantha, realizing she had just crossed
- 15:15an invisible threshold from employee to
- 15:18family, downed hers.
- 15:20She wasn't just pouring drinks anymore.
- 15:23She was keeping the club's secrets.
- 15:26The feeling of safety, however, was a
- 15:28fragile illusion.
- 15:31Two days later, the bell above the front
- 15:33door jingled on a quiet Thursday
- 15:35afternoon.
- 15:36Samantha was wiping down the taps, her
- 15:38back to the entrance. "We're closed."
- 15:41She called out without looking over her
- 15:43shoulder.
- 15:44"Come back at 5:00."
- 15:46"I don't think so, Samantha."
- 15:48The rag slipped from her hands, hitting
- 15:51the floor with a wet slap.
- 15:53The blood drained from her face, leaving
- 15:56her entirely numb.
- 15:58She recognized that voice.
- 16:01It was smooth, cultured, and dripping
- 16:03with malicious intent.
- 16:06She turned slowly.
- 16:08Standing in the doorway of the Hells
- 16:10Angels bar, looking entirely out of
- 16:12place in a tailored charcoal suit,
- 16:15was Reuben Bowman. He stepped inside,
- 16:18letting the heavy steel door swing shut
- 16:21behind him, cutting off the sunlight.
- 16:24"Did you really think," Reuben said, a
- 16:26sadistic smirk twisting his handsome
- 16:29face,
- 16:30"that you could hide from me in a place
- 16:32like this?"
- 16:33Dust motes danced in the brief, harsh
- 16:36flash of sunlight before the heavy steel
- 16:39door slammed shut, sealing Reuben Bowman
- 16:42inside the gloom of the Devil's Keep. He
- 16:45stood near the entrance, adjusting the
- 16:47cuffs of his $2,000 suit, his lips
- 16:51curled into a sneer of utter disgust.
- 16:54He looked at the scarred wooden
- 16:56floorboards, the neon beer signs,
- 16:59and finally, at Samantha.
- 17:01Fear, cold and paralyzing, washed over
- 17:04Samantha.
- 17:05Her breath hitched in her throat, and
- 17:07for a terrifying second, she wasn't the
- 17:10hardened bartender who had faced down a
- 17:12rival gang.
- 17:14She was the broken wife cowering in a
- 17:16pristine suburban kitchen. Reuben had
- 17:20always possessed that power over her.
- 17:22He was a master of psychological
- 17:24destruction, a man who wore his wealth
- 17:27and political connections like
- 17:29impenetrable armor.
- 17:32"Cat got your tongue, darling?"
- 17:34Reuben purred, taking slow, deliberate
- 17:37steps toward the bar.
- 17:40His leather dress shoes clicked
- 17:41ominously against the floorboards.
- 17:44"You have no idea the trouble you've
- 17:46caused me.
- 17:47The campaign trail is stressful enough
- 17:49without my unstable, ungrateful wife
- 17:51disappearing into the night. Do you know
- 17:54how much it cost me to hire a private
- 17:56investigator willing to track you into
- 17:58this cesspool?"
- 18:00Samantha gripped the edge of the bar,
- 18:02her knuckles turning white.
- 18:05She forced herself to breathe, forcing
- 18:07her eyes to meet his.
- 18:10"I am not your wife anymore, Reuben.
- 18:12I left the papers on the counter.
- 18:15You have no jurisdiction here.
- 18:18Get out."
- 18:20Reuben stopped dead in his tracks,
- 18:22genuinely amused.
- 18:24A cruel smile stretched across his face.
- 18:27"Jurisdiction, Samantha?
- 18:29I am a sitting city councilman on the
- 18:31verge of a mayoral run.
- 18:33The police chief eats dinner at my
- 18:35table.
- 18:36The judges play golf at my club.
- 18:39I am the jurisdiction."
- 18:41He leaned against the bar, invading her
- 18:43space,
- 18:44his voice dropping to a menacing
- 18:47whisper.
- 18:48"You are going to walk out that door
- 18:50with me right now. We are going to go
- 18:52back to the estate.
- 18:54You are going to smile for the cameras
- 18:56on Tuesday,
- 18:57and then I am going to teach you a
- 18:59lesson about loyalty that you will
- 19:02never, ever forget."
- 19:04He reached across the polished oak
- 19:06counter, his manicured hand shooting out
- 19:09to grab her by the wrist.
- 19:11Before his fingers could even graze her
- 19:13skin, a heavy, calloused hand clamped
- 19:17down on Ruben's forearm like a steel
- 19:19vice. Ruben gasped, his arrogant smile
- 19:22vanishing instantly, as excruciating
- 19:25pressure was applied to his bones.
- 19:28He wrenched his head sideways.
- 19:30Standing directly beside him, having
- 19:32emerged from the dark hallway leading to
- 19:35the back rooms,
- 19:37was Wyatt.
- 19:38The sergeant-at-arms was out of his
- 19:40leather cut, wearing a simple white
- 19:42t-shirt that showcased the thick corded
- 19:45muscle and prison-inked tattoos covering
- 19:48his arms.
- 19:50Wyatt's piercing blue eyes were dead,
- 19:52devoid of any human empathy. "The lady
- 19:55told you to leave," Wyatt said, his
- 19:57voice a low, terrifying rumble that
- 20:00barely disturbed the air.
- 20:02Ruben, though wincing in pain, let his
- 20:05arrogance override his survival
- 20:07instincts.
- 20:08He yanked his arm, but Wyatt's grip
- 20:11didn't yield a millimeter.
- 20:13"Take your filthy hands off me, you
- 20:15piece of biker trash.
- 20:16Do you have any idea who I am? I could
- 20:19make one phone call and have this
- 20:21illegal dive bar raided by SWAT in 10
- 20:24minutes. I will have you rotting in a
- 20:26federal penitentiary before midnight."
- 20:29"Is that a fact?" The new voice boomed
- 20:32from the front of the bar. Ruben whipped
- 20:34his head around.
- 20:36Emery Grizzly Patterson had just
- 20:38unlocked the front door and stepped
- 20:40inside, followed closely by three
- 20:43heavily armed, fully patched members of
- 20:45the club.
- 20:47Grizzly locked the deadbolt behind him
- 20:49and flipped the closed sign to face the
- 20:51street.
- 20:52The atmosphere in the room shifted from
- 20:54tense to suffocating. Ruben was suddenly
- 20:57hyper-aware of the fact that there were
- 20:59no windows, no exits, and no cell phone
- 21:04reception in the thick cinder block
- 21:06building.
- 21:08Grizzly walked slowly toward the bar,
- 21:10his heavy boots thudding against the
- 21:12wood.
- 21:14He didn't look angry. He looked
- 21:16disappointed, which was infinitely more
- 21:18terrifying. He stopped a few feet from
- 21:21Reuben, looking the politician up and
- 21:23down.
- 21:24Councilman Reuben Bowman,
- 21:27Grizzly rumbled, crossing his massive
- 21:29arms over his chest. I know exactly who
- 21:32you are. You pushed through the zoning
- 21:34laws that shut down the Eastside
- 21:36Community Center. You took a $50,000
- 21:39kickback from the developers who bought
- 21:41the land.
- 21:42And according to the bruises my
- 21:43bartender was sporting when she walked
- 21:45in here two months ago, you like to use
- 21:49your fists on women who weigh half what
- 21:52you do.
- 21:53Reuben's face paled, the first crack in
- 21:56his polished facade finally appearing.
- 22:00Those zoning laws were public record.
- 22:03You can't prove anything else. Let go of
- 22:05my arm and let me take my wife home, and
- 22:08I will pretend I was never in this
- 22:10filthy hole.
- 22:12Grizzly chuckled a deep, raspy sound. He
- 22:15looked at Samantha.
- 22:17Sammy, did you tell this suit whose
- 22:19house he just walked into?
- 22:22Samantha stood taller, the fear
- 22:24evaporating as she looked at the men
- 22:26surrounding her.
- 22:28They were outlaws, yes,
- 22:30but they lived by a code Reuben could
- 22:32never comprehend.
- 22:34He thinks his badge and his bank account
- 22:36make him untouchable, Grizzly.
- 22:38Untouchable.
- 22:41Grizzly repeated, tasting the word. He
- 22:43nodded at Wyatt. Wyatt twisted Reuben's
- 22:46arm violently behind his back and
- 22:48slammed the politician's face directly
- 22:50onto the solid oak bar.
- 22:53The crack of cartilage echoed in the
- 22:54quiet room. Reuben screamed, blood
- 22:57instantly blooming from his broken nose,
- 23:00staining his expensive silk tie. Here's
- 23:03the problem with your calculations,
- 23:05Councilman,
- 23:06Grizzly said, stepping in close and
- 23:09grabbing Ruben by the back of his
- 23:11perfectly styled hair, forcing him to
- 23:13look up.
- 23:14Your police chief doesn't send cruisers
- 23:16down this street because we have a
- 23:18mutually beneficial understanding.
- 23:22Your judges don't sign warrants for this
- 23:24building because they know what happens
- 23:27to the skeletons in their closets if
- 23:28they do.
- 23:30You walked out of your civilized world
- 23:33and stepped into the jungle. Out here,
- 23:35your title means absolutely nothing.
- 23:39Out here, you are just a weak man who
- 23:41hits women.
- 23:42Ruben was sobbing now, the pain and the
- 23:44sheer unadulterated terror breaking his
- 23:47mind.
- 23:48He was a bully who had only ever
- 23:50operated from a position of absolute
- 23:53shielded authority.
- 23:55Stripped of his power, he was nothing.
- 23:58Please,
- 23:59Ruben begged, spitting blood onto the
- 24:01floor.
- 24:02Please, I have money. I can pay you
- 24:05whatever you want.
- 24:07Grizzly ignored him and looked over his
- 24:09shoulder.
- 24:10Dallas.
- 24:11From the corner booth, a younger,
- 24:13scrawny biker with wire-rimmed glasses
- 24:15and a laptop stepped forward.
- 24:18Dallas was the club's digital ghost, a
- 24:20man who could crack bank firewalls and
- 24:23scrub security footage with terrifying
- 24:26speed.
- 24:27Got his phone, boss. Dallas said,
- 24:30holding up Ruben's sleek smartphone.
- 24:33Cloned the hard drive. It took me about
- 24:353 minutes to bypass his security.
- 24:38You wouldn't believe what this guy keeps
- 24:39in his hidden folders. We have offshore
- 24:42account numbers, text messages arranging
- 24:45bribes with city contractors, and
- 24:47yeah,
- 24:49a lot of very incriminating photos of
- 24:51the injuries he inflicted on Samantha.
- 24:54Ruben thrashed against Wyatt's grip,
- 24:57panic consuming him.
- 24:59You can't use that. It's illegally
- 25:01obtained. It won't hold up in court.
- 25:04Samantha walked around from behind the
- 25:06bar.
- 25:08She stopped directly in front of Reuben.
- 25:10For years this man had made her feel
- 25:12small, worthless,
- 25:15and entirely trapped. Now looking at him
- 25:18bleeding and weeping on the floor of a
- 25:20biker bar, she saw him for exactly what
- 25:23he was, pathetic.
- 25:25We aren't going to court, Reuben.
- 25:27Samantha said, her voice dripping with
- 25:30an icy calm that chilled the politician
- 25:33to the bone.
- 25:34We don't need a judge. We just need the
- 25:36press.
- 25:38Grizzly nodded in agreement.
- 25:40Here is how this is going to play out,
- 25:42councilman.
- 25:43Dallas just forwarded your entire
- 25:45digital life to three secure servers. If
- 25:49you ever come within 50 miles of this
- 25:51city again, if you ever say Samantha's
- 25:53name,
- 25:54if you even think about sending a cop to
- 25:57this address,
- 25:58Dallas pushes a button.
- 26:01All your financial crimes go directly to
- 26:03the FBI field office.
- 26:06All your photos and texts go to the
- 26:08local news networks.
- 26:10You won't just lose your election.
- 26:12You will lose your fortune, your
- 26:14reputation, and you will spend the next
- 26:1620 years in a federal prison block where
- 26:19men like Wyatt will be waiting for you.
- 26:22Reuben was hyperventilating, blood
- 26:24bubbling at the corner of his mouth.
- 26:27Okay, he choked out. Okay, I'll leave. I
- 26:30resign. Just don't leak the files.
- 26:33Please.
- 26:34Grizzly looked at Samantha.
- 26:36It's your call, Sammy. He's yours to
- 26:38break or release.
- 26:40The entire room went dead silent.
- 26:44The heavy hitters of the Hells Angels
- 26:46waited on the word of the woman pouring
- 26:48their drinks.
- 26:49The power dynamic had shifted entirely.
- 26:52Samantha looked at Ruben's terrified,
- 26:55pleading eyes. She thought about the
- 26:57nights she had spent praying for an
- 26:59escape.
- 27:00The pain, the isolation.
- 27:03She had the power to destroy him
- 27:06completely right now.
- 27:08But true retribution wasn't about
- 27:10dragging herself down into his darkness.
- 27:14It was about ensuring he could never
- 27:16step into her light again.
- 27:19Let him go.
- 27:20Samantha said softly.
- 27:22Wyatt released his grip instantly.
- 27:25Ruben collapsed onto the floor gasping
- 27:27for air and clutching his broken nose.
- 27:30You heard the lady.
- 27:32Grizzly said, stepping back. Get off my
- 27:34floor. You have 2 hours to pack a bag
- 27:37and leave the state. If I see your face
- 27:39on a campaign billboard tomorrow, I'm
- 27:41sending Wyatt to your house, and he
- 27:43won't be using the front door. Ruben
- 27:45scrambled to his feet, his suit ruined,
- 27:48his dignity annihilated.
- 27:51He didn't say another word. He
- 27:53practically crawled to the heavy steel
- 27:55door, threw it open, and stumbled out
- 27:58into the blinding sunlight running for
- 28:00his life. The heavy door slammed shut
- 28:02behind him, sealing the dark, comforting
- 28:05environment of the Devil's Keep once
- 28:07more.
- 28:09Samantha stood perfectly still for a
- 28:11moment, listening to the fading sound of
- 28:13Ruben's frantic footsteps.
- 28:15The oppressive weight that had been
- 28:17crushing her chest for 5 long years was
- 28:19suddenly gone.
- 28:21She took a deep, shuddering breath, the
- 28:23smell of stale beer and old leather
- 28:26filling her lungs.
- 28:28It smelled like freedom.
- 28:30Wyatt picked up a bar rag and tossed it
- 28:32to her. Spill on the counter, Sammy. We
- 28:35open in 10.
- 28:36Samantha caught the rag. A genuine,
- 28:39radiant smile broke across her face for
- 28:42the first time in a very long time.
- 28:46She looked at Grizzly, at Wyatt, and at
- 28:48the outlaws who had become her unlikely
- 28:50saviors.
- 28:52They were dangerous men, men rejected by
- 28:54society, but they possessed a twisted
- 28:57honor that the polished elite sorely
- 29:00lacked.
- 29:01"Coming right up." Samantha said,
- 29:04stepping back behind the polished oak
- 29:06bar, exactly where she belonged. Thank
- 29:08you for listening to this incredible
