“What are they doing?” she mentioned.

“Calculating their odds in opposition to a small military,” Pony mentioned.

“He’s proper,” Piper mentioned. “The cartel may be vicious, however they’re not suicidal. Or silly. They will see the percentages at the moment are stacked in opposition to them.”

“Pony,” Jocko mentioned, providing him the AK-47. “You’re higher with one in every of these than me.”

“Thanks,” Pony mentioned. “I take it Mackenzie introduced the cops?”

“Yeah. He helped out with grabbing Bailey and referred to as within the locals to assist out as soon as we received the confession.”

“Now all we now have to do is take care of these assholes,” Pony mentioned, aiming his AK-47 on the cartel’s headlights.

“They’re going to drive away, proper?” Carly mentioned. “I imply, they’ll’t be that loopy.”

Piper mentioned nothing, staring on the headlights dealing with them. In the event that they have been sensible, the cartel would depart proper now, however criminals didn’t all the time make good choices. Issues might nonetheless get bloody.

Every thing was very quiet, very nonetheless, after which, the headlights dealing with them at nighttime slowly slid ahead, circled, and drove off in the other way. Piper set free the breath that she didn’t understand she’d been holding.

“Sure!” Carly mentioned as soon as the cartel was gone. “Which means we win, proper, Piper?”

She slumped in opposition to Pony, immediately very, very drained. Now that the chase was over, Piper might really feel herself crashing because the adrenaline pumping by way of her veins started to fade quick.

Pony slid an arm round her waist, supporting her simply. He held her for a protracted second earlier than giving her a agency little pat on the bottom to wake her up.

“We’re not completed, not fairly but,” he mentioned.

“Yeah,” Piper mentioned, straightening again up. “Harris.”

“You’ve received him?” Carly mentioned, trying round. “The place is he?”

“Over right here,” Piper mentioned, main everybody over to the Charger’s trunk. Inside, they might hear the muffled shouts and calls for of its occupant, together with occasional thumps as he kicked in opposition to the within of the trunk.

“You place him within the trunk?” Carly mentioned.

“Completely had it coming,” Pony mentioned, when Carly checked out him.

As quickly as Piper opened the trunk, Harris’s voice went from muffled, incoherent sounds to offended, shouted phrases.

“You broke my jaw, you fucking biker trash!” he shouted, flopping round within the trunk like a turtle its again.

Pony mentioned, “I didn’t break your jaw.”

“Oh, yeah? How would you recognize?”

“Since you’re speaking.”

Piper watched Harris wrestle his approach out of the trunk to face uncertainly on the bottom. He regarded round slowly, cautiously, like he’d simply parachuted into enemy territory and he had no thought what was what.

“Excellent news, Steven,” she mentioned. “You get to dwell one other day. Our plan labored and the cartel hitmen backed off.”

“They’re gone?”

“Uh-hunh,” she mentioned. “Additionally, dangerous information, Steven. You’re below arrest.”
