  1. 0:00And the sun was just starting to bleed
  2. 0:02over the horizon when I arrived at the
  3. 0:04Oak Haven Steel Mill. It was a massive,
  4. 0:06ugly beast of a building rusting by the
  5. 0:09river, and the commander was right. It
  6. 0:11was a kill box. I could see the snipers
  7. 0:13on the roof. I could see the thermal
  8. 0:15cameras turning to look at me. I didn't
  9. 0:17hide, and I rode my bike right up to the
  10. 0:20main gate and killed the engine. The
  11. 0:22silence was louder than the roar of the
  12. 0:23motor. I walked through the open bay
  13. 0:25doors, and the smell of molten metal and
  14. 0:28sulfur filled my nose. In the center of
  15. 0:30the factory floor, suspended over a vat
  16. 0:32of cooling slag, was a cage. Inside were
  17. 0:35Big Mac and Emily, and Mac was
  18. 0:37unconscious, his face a mask of blood.
  19. 0:39Emily was awake. She was terrified,
  20. 0:41shaking like a leaf, but when she saw
  21. 0:43me, she didn't scream, and she just
  22. 0:45looked at me with eyes that begged for a
  23. 0:47miracle. The commander stood on the
  24. 0:48catwalk above them, flanked by 20
  25. 0:51soldiers. He clapped his hands, and the
  26. 0:53sound echoed like gunshots. He looked
  27. 0:56down at me with a smug grin, thinking he
  28. 0:57had won. He told me to drop my weapon,
  29. 1:00and I let the stolen assault clatter to
  30. 1:02the concrete floor. He asked me if I
  31. 1:04thought I was a hero. I looked him in
  32. 1:06the eye and told him I wasn't a hero,
  33. 1:08and I told him I was a distraction.
  34. 1:10Before he could figure out what I meant,
  35. 1:12the skylights shattered. Viper and Tank
  36. 1:15didn't come through the doors, and they
  37. 1:17repelled through the glass roof firing
  38. 1:19the heavy machine guns we had stripped
  39. 1:21from their convoy. Glass and brass
  40. 1:23rained down on the soldiers, and the
  41. 1:25kill box had just turned into a
  42. 1:27slaughterhouse. I didn't run for cover.
  43. 1:29I ran for the control panel. The
  44. 1:31commander screamed at his men to kill
  45. 1:33the hostages, and he aimed his pistol at
  46. 1:35the winch cable holding the cage. If
  47. 1:37that cable snapped, Mac and Emily would
  48. 1:39drop 50 ft into the slag pit, and I saw
  49. 1:42his finger tighten on the trigger. I
  50. 1:44didn't have my rifle. I only had the
  51. 1:45knife in my boot. I threw it. It was a
  52. 1:48Hail Mary throw and a desperate prayer
  53. 1:50in the shape of steel. The knife didn't
  54. 1:52hit the commander. It hit the hydraulic
  55. 1:54line next to him. High pressure steam
  56. 1:56exploded into his face, and he screamed,
  57. 1:59dropping his gun, clawing at his burned
  58. 2:01eyes. But in his panic, he stumbled
  59. 2:03against the release lever. The gears
  60. 2:05ground open. The cage dropped, and
  61. 2:07gravity took hold. Emily screamed as the
  62. 2:09metal cage plummeted toward the pit. I
  63. 2:11sprinted toward the edge. I didn't
  64. 2:13think. I just jumped, and I caught the
  65. 2:15chain of the cage with one hand, my
  66. 2:17shoulder wrenching with a sickening pop.
  67. 2:19I was dangling over the pit and holding
  68. 2:21the weight of two people and a steel
  69. 2:23cage with one arm. The heat from the
  70. 2:25slag below was blistering. My boots were
  71. 2:27smoking. Mac woke up. He saw me hanging
  72. 2:30there, and he saw the chain slipping
  73. 2:32through my sweaty fingers. He looked at
  74. 2:34the drop. Then he looked at Emily. He
  75. 2:36stood up in the shaky cage, grabbed the
  76. 2:38bars, and looked up at me, and he told
  77. 2:40me to let go. He told me to save the
  78. 2:42girl and let the cage drop, or we would
  79. 2:44all die. He was trying to sacrifice
  80. 2:46himself again. I gritted my teeth and
  81. 2:49the veins in my neck bulging. I told him
  82. 2:51to shut up. I told him the Motor Mafia
  83. 2:53doesn't trade lives. Tank appeared at
  84. 2:56the edge of the pit above me, and he
  85. 2:58reached down with his massive hand and
  86. 2:59grabbed my wrist. Then Viper grabbed
  87. 3:01Tank. Together, they heaved. We came up
  88. 3:04inch by inch, fighting gravity, fighting
  89. 3:06the pain, and we hauled the cage onto
  90. 3:08the solid concrete floor just as the
  91. 3:10commander, blind and screaming, fell
  92. 3:12from the catwalk into the darkness
  93. 3:14below, and the splash was the only
  94. 3:16eulogy he deserved. We cut the lock.
  95. 3:18Emily crawled out and buried her face in
  96. 3:20my vest, sobbing. Mac limped out,
  97. 3:22battered but unbroken, and he put a
  98. 3:24heavy hand on my good shoulder. He
  99. 3:26didn't say thank you.
  100. 3:28The look in his eyes said everything,
  101. 3:30and we walked out of the steel mill as
  102. 3:32the sun finally broke through the
  103. 3:33clouds. The Syndicate soldiers were
  104. 3:36either dead or running for the hills. We
  105. 3:38had burned their convoy, and we had
  106. 3:40broken their army, and we had saved the
  107. 3:42girl. We rode back to the ruins of our
  108. 3:44clubhouse. It was just a pile of ashes
  109. 3:46now, but as I looked at my brothers,
  110. 3:48tired and bloody and alive, I realized
  111. 3:51something. A clubhouse is just wood and
  112. 3:53nails. It can burn. But this
  113. 3:55brotherhood, this family, fire only
  114. 3:57makes us harder, and the Syndicate came
  115. 3:59to Oak Haven to bury us. They forgot
  116. 4:01that we are seeds. We will grow back,
  117. 4:03and next time, next time we won't just
  118. 4:05defend our town, and we're going to take
  119. 4:07theirs. This is Jax, and the war has
  120. 4:09just begun. The war didn't end at the
  121. 4:11steel mill. We burned the commander, but
  122. 4:14he was just a finger, and the hand that
  123. 4:16controlled him, the Iron Syndicate, was
  124. 4:18still out there sitting in glass towers,
  125. 4:21drinking scotch that cost more than our
  126. 4:22motorcycles, and we spent 3 days burying
  127. 4:25the dead and patching up our bikes. Big
  128. 4:27Mac was quiet. He spent hours staring at
  129. 4:30the map on the wall. He wasn't looking
  130. 4:32at Oak Haven anymore, and he was looking
  131. 4:34at Capital City, a concrete jungle 200
  132. 4:36miles north, the heart of the beast.
  133. 4:38They came to our home, Mac said, and
  134. 4:41tracing the highway line with a scarred
  135. 4:42finger, they burned our roof. They
  136. 4:44threatened our family. If we wait here,
  137. 4:47they'll just send another army, bigger
  138. 4:49this time, and maybe an airstrike. He
  139. 4:51turned to us. His eyes were cold steel.
  140. 4:53We don't wait to be slaughtered. We go
  141. 4:55to them. We take the fight to their
  142. 4:57front door, and we rode out at midnight.
  143. 4:59Not 12 men this time. We had called in
  144. 5:02every favor, every debt. 50 riders. The
  145. 5:04highway shook under us. We weren't a
  146. 5:06club anymore, and we were an invasion
  147. 5:08force. Capital City was different. It
  148. 5:10didn't smell like pine and rain. It
  149. 5:12smelled of exhaust, garbage, and money.
  150. 5:14As we hit the city limits, and the neon
  151. 5:17lights reflected off our chrome, people
  152. 5:19in expensive cars locked their doors
  153. 5:21when they saw us. They looked at us like
  154. 5:24we were animals let loose in a museum,
  155. 5:26and we didn't care. We weren't there to
  156. 5:27make friends. We were there to cut the
  157. 5:29money supply. Viper had squeezed the
  158. 5:32location out of a Syndicate snitch
  159. 5:34before we left, and the Platinum Lounge.
  160. 5:37It wasn't just a nightclub. It was the
  161. 5:39Syndicate's bank. It was where they
  162. 5:40washed the blood off their money, and
  163. 5:42millions of dollars in cash flowed
  164. 5:44through that basement every night. We
  165. 5:46rolled up to the club at 1900 a.m. It
  166. 5:48was fancy. Velvet ropes, valet parking,
  167. 5:51and a line of models and millionaires
  168. 5:53waiting to get in. When 50
  169. 5:54Harley-Davidsons parked on the sidewalk,
  170. 5:57the music seemed to stop. The valet boys
  171. 5:59ran away, and the head of security, a
  172. 6:01giant man in a tight suit, stepped
  173. 6:03forward. He had an earpiece and an
  174. 6:05attitude. "You can't park here," he
  175. 6:07said, puffing out his chest, "and
  176. 6:09private event, members only. Get those
  177. 6:11junk piles off my pavement." Mac killed
  178. 6:13his engine. He stepped off his bike. He
  179. 6:15didn't look like a member, and he looked
  180. 6:17like a nightmare. He walked right up to
  181. 6:19the giant bouncer. "I'm here to see the
  182. 6:21manager," Mac rumbled. "I am the manager
  183. 6:24of this door," the bouncer sneered, "and
  184. 6:26and you're trash. Go back to the trailer
  185. 6:29park before I call the cops." Mac didn't
  186. 6:31blink. He headbutted the bouncer. It
  187. 6:33sounded like a sledgehammer hitting a
  188. 6:34melon, and the bouncer dropped cold. "We
  189. 6:37are the members now," Mac announced. We
  190. 6:39pushed past the velvet ropes. The other
  191. 6:41security guards reached for their
  192. 6:43tasers, and but when they saw Tank
  193. 6:45holding a sawed-off shotgun, they wisely
  194. 6:47decided that minimum wage wasn't worth
  195. 6:49dying for. They backed off. We kicked
  196. 6:52open the double gold doors, and the club
  197. 6:54was loud. Thumping bass, flashing
  198. 6:56lights, rich kids dancing on tables.
  199. 6:59When we walked in, dusty, bloody,
  200. 7:00smelling of the road, the dance floor
  201. 7:02cleared, and the DJ stopped the music.
  202. 7:05The silence was heavy. Mac walked to the
  203. 7:07center of the room. He grabbed a bottle
  204. 7:09of champagne from a table, smashed the
  205. 7:11neck off, and took a swig. And he looked
  206. 7:13up at the VIP balcony. Standing there,
  207. 7:15looking down at us, was a man in a white
  208. 7:17silk suit, Mr. Sterling, the CFO of the
  209. 7:20Syndicate, and the man who signed the
  210. 7:22checks for the mercenaries who burned
  211. 7:24our home. Sterling didn't look scared.
  212. 7:26He looked annoyed. He leaned over the
  213. 7:28railing, swirling his drink, and you
  214. 7:30must be the bikers, Sterling said, his
  215. 7:32voice amplified by the quiet room.
  216. 7:34You're a long way from home, Mackenzie.
  217. 7:37Do you know how much this carpet costs?
  218. 7:39And you're tracking mud everywhere. We
  219. 7:41didn't come to clean your floor, Mac
  220. 7:42shouted up at him. We came to close your
  221. 7:45account. Sterling laughed. He snapped
  222. 7:47his fingers, and from the shadows of the
  223. 7:49VIP balcony, a dozen men stepped out.
  224. 7:52They weren't bouncers. They were elite
  225. 7:53guards. They leveled submachine guns at
  226. 7:56the dance floor, and you walked into a
  227. 7:58slaughterhouse, you stupid hillbillies,
  228. 8:00Sterling smiled. Kill them all. But
  229. 8:03Sterling made a mistake. He thought we
  230. 8:05were trapped, and he didn't know about
  231. 8:07the package we left at the front door.
  232. 8:09Now, Mac yelled into his radio. Outside,
  233. 8:11Viper triggered the detonator, and we
  234. 8:13had parked a truck loaded with fireworks
  235. 8:15and smoke grenades right in the lobby
  236. 8:17entrance. Bomb. And the front of the
  237. 8:19club exploded in a chaotic storm of red
  238. 8:21smoke and deafening noise. The fire
  239. 8:23alarm shrieked. The sprinklers turned
  240. 8:25on, soaking everyone. Panic erupted, and
  241. 8:28the crowd of rich guests screamed and
  242. 8:30stampeded for the exits, creating a
  243. 8:32human shield between us and the
  244. 8:33shooters. "Scatter!" Mac ordered, and we
  245. 8:36flipped the heavy marble tables for
  246. 8:38cover. The shooters on the balcony
  247. 8:40opened fire, but they couldn't see
  248. 8:42through the thick red smoke and the
  249. 8:43water. We returned fire, and aiming for
  250. 8:46the lights. Pop. Pop. The club plunged
  251. 8:49into darkness, lit only by the muzzle
  252. 8:50flashes and the emergency strobe lights.
  253. 8:53"Get to the stairs!" I yelled to Tank,
  254. 8:55"and cut off the exit!" We fought our
  255. 8:57way up the stairs, fighting hand to hand
  256. 8:59in the strobe lights. It was brutal. A
  257. 9:01guard tried to tackle me, and but I
  258. 9:03slammed him into the railing and threw
  259. 9:05him over the side. Tank was a bulldozer,
  260. 9:07knocking men aside like bowling pins. We
  261. 9:10reached the VIP section. Sterling was
  262. 9:12gone, and he had run for his panic room.
  263. 9:14"Find him!" Mac roared, limping up the
  264. 9:17stairs behind us. "He doesn't leave this
  265. 9:19building." We kicked open the office
  266. 9:20door. Empty, and but the bookshelf was
  267. 9:23moved. A secret elevator. I saw the
  268. 9:25numbers counting B1, B23. He's going to
  269. 9:28the vault, I realized. The basement.
  270. 9:30"Let's go," Mac said, and reloading his
  271. 9:32revolver. We ran back down, sliding down
  272. 9:35the banisters, ignoring the gunfire from
  273. 9:37the remaining guards. We found the
  274. 9:39service stairs and kicked the door open,
  275. 9:41and the basement was a fortress.
  276. 9:43Concrete walls, steel doors, and at the
  277. 9:45end of the hall, the massive vault was
  278. 9:47open. Sterling was inside, and
  279. 9:49frantically stuffing stacks of cash into
  280. 9:51a duffel bag. He saw us. He pulled a
  281. 9:53gold pistol. "Stay back!" he screamed,
  282. 9:55his voice cracking. "I'll blow us all
  283. 9:57up!" And the vault is rigged. Mac
  284. 10:00stopped. He holstered his gun. He walked
  285. 10:02toward Sterling, his boots splashing in
  286. 10:04the water from the sprinklers. "And you
  287. 10:06think I care about the money?" Mac asked
  288. 10:08calmly. "You think I care about dying?"
  289. 10:10Mac kept walking. Sterling's hand was
  290. 10:12shaking. "I said stay back!" Sterling
  291. 10:14yelled. "And you burned my home." Mac
  292. 10:17said stepping into the vault. "You took
  293. 10:19my family." Sterling pulled the trigger.
  294. 10:21Click. It jammed. A gold gun is pretty
  295. 10:23and but it doesn't like water and dust.
  296. 10:26Mac grabbed Sterling by the throat and
  297. 10:28lifted him off the ground. He slammed
  298. 10:30him against the wall of money stacks.
  299. 10:32"And this," Mac whispered, looking at
  300. 10:34the millions of dollars surrounding
  301. 10:35them, "this is why you killed my
  302. 10:37friends. For paper." "It's business."
  303. 10:39Sterling choked out. "And just
  304. 10:41business." "No." Mac said, pulling a
  305. 10:43flare from his vest. "It's garbage." Mac
  306. 10:46lit the flare. The red flame illuminated
  307. 10:48the terror in Sterling's eyes. "And you
  308. 10:50wanted to buy a war." Mac said. "Here is
  309. 10:52your receipt." Mac tossed the flare onto
  310. 10:54the pile of money. Cash burns fast,
  311. 10:56especially when it's dry. And the flames
  312. 10:58roared up instantly, consuming millions
  313. 11:01of dollars in seconds. Sterling
  314. 11:03screamed, watching his empire turn to
  315. 11:05ash. And we dragged Sterling out of the
  316. 11:07vault and threw him into the alleyway
  317. 11:09where the police sirens were already
  318. 11:11wailing. We left him there for the cops
  319. 11:14and tied up with a note pinned to his
  320. 11:16chest, "Transaction declined." As we
  321. 11:18rode out of the city, watching the smoke
  322. 11:20rise from the Platinum Lounge in our
  323. 11:22rearview mirrors. And I looked at Mac.
  324. 11:24"They're going to be angry now." I said.
  325. 11:26Mac lit a cigar, the wind whipping his
  326. 11:28hair. "Good." He said. "Angry men make
  327. 11:31mistakes. And tonight we took their
  328. 11:32wallet. Tomorrow, we take their throne.
  329. 11:35The city thought it could eat us alive.
  330. 11:37But it forgot one thing. Wolves hunt
  331. 11:39best in the concrete jungle. And we
  332. 11:41thought burning millions of dollars
  333. 11:43would make the syndicate weak. We were
  334. 11:44wrong. It didn't make them weak. It made
  335. 11:47them rabid. And an hour after we left
  336. 11:49the Platinum Lounge, Capital City went
  337. 11:51into lockdown. The police commissioner,
  338. 11:54a man whose pockets were lined with
  339. 11:55syndicate gold, and declared a citywide
  340. 11:58manhunt. They called us domestic
  341. 12:00terrorists. They shut down the bridges.
  342. 12:02They set up roadblocks on every highway
  343. 12:04exit. And we were 50 bikers trapped in a
  344. 12:06cage of concrete and steel. With every
  345. 12:09cop, mercenary, and camera looking for
  346. 12:11us. We ditched the main roads. And we
  347. 12:14rode through the industrial district,
  348. 12:15sticking to the shadows of the
  349. 12:17warehouses. The rain had started again,
  350. 12:19mixing with the soot of the city. It
  351. 12:21slicked the asphalt and making every
  352. 12:23turn a gamble. "We can't get out, Mac."
  353. 12:26I shouted over the wind. "The bridges
  354. 12:28are blocked with SWAT vans. They're
  355. 12:29sweeping the grid." And Mac signaled for
  356. 12:32us to stop under a rusting overpass. He
  357. 12:34looked tired. The adrenaline of the raid
  358. 12:36was fading, replaced by the cold reality
  359. 12:39of our situation. And we had poked the
  360. 12:41hornet's nest. And now we had nowhere to
  361. 12:43run. "We need a hole." Mac grunted,
  362. 12:45looking at the map on his phone. "A
  363. 12:47place to go to ground. And just for a
  364. 12:49few hours." "There are no holes here."
  365. 12:51Viper spat. "This is their city. Every
  366. 12:53landlord, every motel owner. They all
  367. 12:55report to the syndicate." Suddenly, and
  368. 12:58a spotlight hit us. It wasn't a police
  369. 13:00car. It was a helicopter. A black police
  370. 13:02chopper hovered above the overpass, its
  371. 13:04beam blinding us. "And suspects located
  372. 13:07under the I-95 overpass." A voice boomed
  373. 13:10from the sky. "Disperse immediately or
  374. 13:11we will open fire." "Go!" Mac roared. We
  375. 13:14gunned the engines. And 50 bikes peeled
  376. 13:16out of the shadows just as the pavement
  377. 13:18erupted in dust. Snipers from the
  378. 13:20chopper were taking shots. We tore down
  379. 13:22the alleyways, and weaving through
  380. 13:24dumpsters and homeless encampments.
  381. 13:27Sirens began to wail from every
  382. 13:28direction. We were being herded. They
  383. 13:31were pushing us toward the river, and
  384. 13:32where there was no escape. I looked in
  385. 13:34my mirror. Three armored SWAT trucks
  386. 13:37were smashing through the fences behind
  387. 13:38us. They weren't trying to arrest us.
  388. 13:41And they were trying to crush us. "Split
  389. 13:43up!" I yelled. "Groups of five, confuse
  390. 13:45them!" We scattered like marbles. I
  391. 13:47stayed with Mac, Tank, and Viper. And we
  392. 13:49took a sharp left into the the yards. A
  393. 13:52maze of shipping containers and train
  394. 13:53tracks. The SWAT truck was right on our
  395. 13:56tail. Its bull bar clipped Viper's back
  396. 13:58tire. And he wobbled but held the line.
  397. 14:00"Dead end!" Tank screamed. Ahead of us,
  398. 14:02a massive chain link gate blocked the
  399. 14:04path. We were trapped. The SWAT truck
  400. 14:06accelerated, and preparing to ram us
  401. 14:09into the fence. I gripped my handlebars,
  402. 14:11ready to turn and fight. Even though I
  403. 14:13knew a handgun wouldn't stop an armored
  404. 14:15truck. Then, and the impossible
  405. 14:17happened. The chain link gate rolled
  406. 14:19open. A kid no older than 16, wearing a
  407. 14:22hoodie and a bandana, was standing there
  408. 14:24waving us in. "Get in. And hurry." the
  409. 14:26kid screamed. We didn't ask questions.
  410. 14:29We shot through the gap. The kid slammed
  411. 14:31the gate shut and locked it just as the
  412. 14:33SWAT truck slammed into it. And the
  413. 14:34heavy steel held. We were in a territory
  414. 14:37we didn't recognize. Graffiti covered
  415. 14:39every wall. Old burning barrels lit the
  416. 14:41darkness. And dozens of young men
  417. 14:43stepped out of the shadows. They weren't
  418. 14:45bikers. They were street soldiers. They
  419. 14:47held baseball bats, Molotov cocktails,
  420. 14:50and pistols. And we stopped our bikes in
  421. 14:52the center of the yard. We were
  422. 14:53surrounded. A man walked out from the
  423. 14:55crowd. He was young, sharp, and with
  424. 14:58tattoos on his neck and a gold crown
  425. 15:00ring on his finger. He looked at Mac. He
  426. 15:02looked at the angry SWAT truck outside
  427. 15:04the gate. "You guys are loud." the man
  428. 15:06said. "And you woke up the whole
  429. 15:08neighborhood." Mac stepped off his bike.
  430. 15:10He didn't reach for his weapon. He knew
  431. 15:12street code. "We needed an exit." Mac
  432. 15:14said. "And we didn't know this was
  433. 15:16King's territory." The man smiled. "I'm
  434. 15:18Dante. I run the South Side. And yeah,
  435. 15:21the police don't come in here. Not
  436. 15:22unless they want a riot." And Dante
  437. 15:24walked around Mac's bike, admiring the
  438. 15:26chrome. "The news says you guys burned
  439. 15:28down Sterling's club." Dante said. "They
  440. 15:30say you burned the money." "We did." Mac
  441. 15:33said. And Dante laughed. It was a
  442. 15:35genuine laugh. "Man, I hate Sterling. He
  443. 15:37raised the rent on my grandmother's
  444. 15:39block three times this year. He thinks
  445. 15:41he owns this city." And Dante looked Mac
  446. 15:43in the eye. "The enemy of my enemy is my
  447. 15:45brother." Dante said, extending a hand.
  448. 15:48"You're safe here, old man. The
  449. 15:50syndicate doesn't run the South Side.
  450. 15:52And we do." We spent the night in an
  451. 15:53abandoned boxing gym that Dante used as
  452. 15:56a base. For the first time in 24 hours,
  453. 15:58we slept. But Mac didn't sleep. And he
  454. 16:01sat with Dante over a map of the city.
  455. 16:03"We can't leave." Mac said. "If we try
  456. 16:06to cross the bridge, they'll kill us.
  457. 16:07The only way out is to finish it."
  458. 16:09"Finish what?" Dante asked. "The
  459. 16:11syndicate." Mac said. "We cut off the
  460. 16:13money. Now we need the head. Where is
  461. 16:15the chairman?" And Dante pointed to the
  462. 16:17tallest building in the skyline. A black
  463. 16:19glass needle that pierced the clouds.
  464. 16:21"The Obsidian Tower. He's in the
  465. 16:23penthouse." Dante said. "Top floor. And
  466. 16:26but get to him. That building is a
  467. 16:28fortress. Private security in the lobby.
  468. 16:30Biometric elevators. And a literal army
  469. 16:33on the roof." "And we don't need to go
  470. 16:35through the lobby." Mac said, tracing a
  471. 16:37finger along the subway lines on the
  472. 16:38map. "What are you thinking?" I asked,
  473. 16:41walking over. Mac looked at me. And he
  474. 16:43looked at Dante. "Dante." Mac said.
  475. 16:45"Does your crew know how to use the old
  476. 16:47service tunnels?" "We know them better
  477. 16:49than the rats." Dante grinned. "Good."
  478. 16:51Mac said. "And because we aren't going
  479. 16:53to climb the tower. We're going to bring
  480. 16:55it down to our level." Mac stood up. The
  481. 16:58fire was back in his eyes. "And we hit
  482. 17:00the main power grid in the basement."
  483. 17:02Mac explained. "One kill the lights, the
  484. 17:04elevators, the security systems. Then we
  485. 17:07take the stairs. 80 floors up." "That's
  486. 17:09a suicide mission." Viper said. "80
  487. 17:11floors of clearing rooms. We'll run out
  488. 17:13of ammo by the 10th floor." "We won't be
  489. 17:15alone." Mac said. He looked at Dante.
  490. 17:18"And the syndicate has been bleeding
  491. 17:20your people for years. You want them
  492. 17:21gone. You want your city back." Dante
  493. 17:24looked at his crew. The young men
  494. 17:25nodded. And they were tired of being
  495. 17:27pushed around by men in suits. "We're
  496. 17:29in." Dante said. "Bikers and street
  497. 17:31kings. That's a hell of a mix." Mac
  498. 17:34grabbed his helmet. "And tomorrow
  499. 17:36night." Mac said. "We turn off the
  500. 17:37lights in Capital City. And when they
  501. 17:39come back on, the syndicate will be a
  502. 17:41memory." We checked our weapons. And we
  503. 17:44didn't have much left. But we had
  504. 17:45something better than ammo. We had an
  505. 17:47army of the streets. The ivory tower was
  506. 17:50waiting. And the wolves were coming to
  507. 17:51the door. And the subway tunnels under
  508. 17:54Capital City smelled of rust and
  509. 17:56forgotten history. Dante led the way,
  510. 17:58moving through the darkness like a
  511. 17:59shadow. And 50 bikers and 50 street
  512. 18:02soldiers followed him, wading through
  513. 18:04knee-deep water, holding weapons high.
  514. 18:06We were beneath the Obsidian Tower, and
  515. 18:09the fortress of the syndicate. Above us,
  516. 18:11the chairman was probably drinking
  517. 18:12scotch, looking down at his city,
  518. 18:15thinking he was untouchable. And he
  519. 18:16didn't know the foundation was about to
  520. 18:18crumble. We reached the main breaker
  521. 18:20room. It was huge, humming with the
  522. 18:22power that fed the entire skyscraper.
  523. 18:25And Tank looked at the massive cables.
  524. 18:27He didn't use wire cutters. He used a
  525. 18:29sledgehammer. He swung it with
  526. 18:31everything he had. And the impact
  527. 18:32sparked a shower of blue electricity
  528. 18:34that lit up the tunnel like a
  529. 18:36thunderstorm. Then the hum died. Above
  530. 18:38ground, the Obsidian Tower went black.
  531. 18:40And the elevators stopped between
  532. 18:42floors. The security cameras went blind.
  533. 18:45The electronic locks disengaged. The
  534. 18:47beast was paralyzed. And we kicked open
  535. 18:49the service doors and hit the stairwell.
  536. 18:5180 floors. It wasn't a raid. It was a
  537. 18:53marathon of violence. And the emergency
  538. 18:56lights bathed the concrete stairs in a
  539. 18:58sickly green glow. The syndicate
  540. 19:00security teams were panicked, stuck in
  541. 19:02the hallways without comms. And we swept
  542. 19:04over them like a tidal wave. On the 10th
  543. 19:06floor, they tried to hold the landing.
  544. 19:08Muzzle flashes lit up the dark
  545. 19:10stairwell. And the sound of gunfire in
  546. 19:12the enclosed concrete was deafening. But
  547. 19:14we had the momentum. Dante's crew used
  548. 19:16flashbangs. We used brute force. We
  549. 19:19didn't stop to check bodies. And we just
  550. 19:21kept climbing. 20 floors. 40. 60. By the
  551. 19:25time we reached the 80th floor, my legs
  552. 19:27were burning. And my lungs felt like
  553. 19:28they were filled with broken glass. And
  554. 19:31but the adrenaline kept us moving. The
  555. 19:33heavy mahogany doors of the pentas were
  556. 19:35locked. Mac didn't knock. He fired his
  557. 19:37shotgun into the hinges and kicked the
  558. 19:39doors in. And the penthouse was silent.
  559. 19:41The city skyline outside the
  560. 19:43floor-to-ceiling windows was dark. The
  561. 19:45only light came from the moon. Sitting
  562. 19:47at a massive glass desk, and lit by a
  563. 19:49single candle, was the chairman. He was
  564. 19:52an old man, frail, looking nothing like
  565. 19:54the monster who had ordered the
  566. 19:56destruction of our town, and he didn't
  567. 19:58reach for a weapon. He just swirled his
  568. 20:00drink. He looked at Mack, covered in
  569. 20:02soot and blood, standing in his pristine
  570. 20:04office. The chairman smiled, and he told
  571. 20:06us that killing him wouldn't change
  572. 20:08anything. He said the syndicate was an
  573. 20:10idea, and ideas don't die. He offered us
  574. 20:12money. He offered us power, and he
  575. 20:14offered to make Oak Haven the capital of
  576. 20:16his new empire. Mack walked over to the
  577. 20:19desk. He didn't say a word, and he
  578. 20:21grabbed the chairman by his expensive
  579. 20:23suit and dragged him to the window.
  580. 20:25Viper threw a chair through the glass,
  581. 20:27and shattering the barrier between the
  582. 20:29climate-controlled luxury and the
  583. 20:31howling wind of the night. Mack held the
  584. 20:33chairman over the edge, 80 floors down,
  585. 20:35and the city lights flickered back on,
  586. 20:37looking like a sea of stars. The
  587. 20:39chairman started to scream, begging,
  588. 20:41bargaining, promising everything he
  589. 20:43owned. Mack leaned close, and he told
  590. 20:46him that some things can't be bought. He
  591. 20:48told him that this wasn't about
  592. 20:49business. It was about respect. Mack
  593. 20:52pulled him back in and threw him to the
  594. 20:53floor, and we didn't throw him off. That
  595. 20:56would be too quick. Instead, Dante
  596. 20:58handed Mack a stack of hard drives they
  597. 21:00had pulled from the server room. The
  598. 21:01blackmail, the bank accounts, and the
  599. 21:04names of every corrupt politician and
  600. 21:06judge on the payroll. We left the
  601. 21:08chairman alive in his broken office, but
  602. 21:10as we walked out, we uploaded the files,
  603. 21:12and every news station, every police
  604. 21:14agency, every rival cartel got the data.
  605. 21:17By morning, the chairman wouldn't be a
  606. 21:19king. He would be prey, and his own
  607. 21:21allies would tear him apart. The ride
  608. 21:23back to Oak Haven was long. The sun was
  609. 21:25rising as we crossed the county line.
  610. 21:27The town was still battered, and the
  611. 21:29clubhouse was still a pile of ash. But
  612. 21:31as we rolled down Main Street, the
  613. 21:33people came out, not in fear, but in
  614. 21:35relief, and Sarah and Emily were
  615. 21:37standing by the ruins of the diner,
  616. 21:39waving. The sheriff tipped his hat. We
  617. 21:41parked the bikes in the ashes of our
  618. 21:43home, and Mack sat on a charred piece of
  619. 21:45wood that used to be his chair. He lit a
  620. 21:47cigar and looked at us. We were bruised,
  621. 21:50bleeding, and exhausted, but we were the
  622. 21:52kings of this road, and they tried to
  623. 21:54burn us out. They tried to bind us out.
  624. 21:56They tried to wipe us off the map, but
  625. 21:58they forgot the first rule of the
  626. 22:00asphalt. You can kill a rider, and but
  627. 22:02you can't kill the ride. The motor mafia
  628. 22:05isn't just a patch on a vest. It's the
  629. 22:07fire that keeps burning when the world
  630. 22:09goes dark. And then if anyone ever tries
  631. 22:11to blow that fire out again, God help
  632. 22:13them. This is Jax, ride safe, and watch
  633. 22:15your six.
