Plan Of Attack

I walked into the parking lot with Billy-Club and Diane just a few steps behind me.  We spotted Anna’s kid sister and one of her friends leaning against the wall.  Diane and Billy went to mingle with some of regulars while I sat down next to my boy Chicago.

“Hey, Bubsy, you got a smoke?” Chicago asked

“Nah, you know I don’t smoke.” I answered

“Man, you full of all sorts of shit tonight.  I know you smoke like a mother fucker.” Chicago started 

“Oh, oh, your old lady’s around and she got you nailed to that X don’t she?”

“Somethin’ like that.”  I said, slightly embarrassed

“Who you lookin’ at?” Chicago asked “That skinny white boy over there?”

I sat silently, carefully watching our mark as he tried to pretend like he didn’t see us. 

“Oh shit, he’s gonna get a foot up his ass.” Chicago laughed

The skinny white kid took a goth girl’s hand and they left the parking lot heading up Belmont towards Sheffield. 

“Alright, I’m out.” I said, getting up and following the kid.

“Hey, go easy on his cracker ass.” Chicago requested

“No promises.”  I answered as I bumped fists with Max and that one kid I pulled out of a dumpster.

Standing against the old store front church on Belmont were a bunch of my boys, taunting the kid as he passed by them.

“Ah, Kyle, you fuckin’ homo!” One of them yelled “Why don’t you come by and cuddle me anymore!”

“Alright alright, don’t let on.” I said as I walked up. 

“You guys know what the fuck to do right?” Diane asked as she walked up behind me.

“Beat his fuckin’ ass, right?” one of the boys said

“No you half wit.  Guard the alley entrance while we talk to Kyle.” Diane instructed “And if a beat down is necessary, well, then, we’ll take care of that.  You just signal us if any pigs are coming.”

“I’d really like to settle this shit inside the club.” I said “We got free reign up in there.  The Medusa Boys got our backs.”

“We can take him up on the roof and rough him up a bit.” One of the boys said

“Or we could just drop him off of the roof.” Billy-Club said in his thick Polish accent.

We all stared blankly at him.  The silence was uncomfortable and Billy attempted to process the lack of support for his plan.

“Or we could, you know, just rough him up a little.” He added

One of my main boys, Squats came running up with this Cuban skin, Denny who moved here from New York and said “I talked to Ricky over at Medusa’s and he said shit can’t go down inside the club.  There’s bands playing the rock room and it’s supposed to be packed.  Plus Channel 7 is there filming the scene in the main room and…”

“I get it, I get it.” I said

“We have to make sure we take care of him in the alley, or maybe take him a few blocks over or something, because that camera crew is going to be there and we don’t want that shit.” Squats added

Squats was this short Irish kid– like 5’3” short, but he was the toughest, most loyal of the crew.  He was from Mount Greenwood on the south side and sang in a hardcore band.  If there was a fight, Squats was gonna be right there with us. 

“We can take care of this shit right behind the club.  That camera crew ain’t gonna know what the fuck is going on.” I argued

“What about the kids outside?” Denny asked

“Look, none of them kids are gonna say shit.  We got their backs and they got ours.  That’s the unspoken agreement.” I answered

“Actually, the unspoken agreement is they have our backs because they know if they rat on us, they get stomped.” One of the boys said

Our numbers started to grow as my boys and the birds started to descend on the block.  Two birds came running up, winded and excited.

“He’s out front!  A couple of Terri’s CLAS goons are talking to him and Rusty.  We talked to a couple punks outside and they said that they only saw those two Nazi fucks, but the line is wrapped around the corner and the first band is just starting to play.” One of them said

“Here’s how it’s gonna go down.” I started “Diane, Billy, Sara, Denny, Feng – ya’ll come with me.  Squats – you lead the crew out to the alley and make sure all points are covered.”

“Got it.” Squats said

“And don’t act suspicious this time.” I added

“You don’t have anything to worry about it.  I showed these clowns how to hang out and what to do if the pigs role up.” Squats reassured.

“Alright, lets roll out.  Ya’ll play it cool.” I said

I carefully selected who was going to accompany me.  Diane, because she’s my number two.  Billy because he was the biggest mother fucker in our crew.  Sara and Denny, because they were new and needed to see how we deal with shit and Feng, because that Chinese kid is fucking crazy.

“Let’s hang back for a minute and head out.” I instructed
