Chapter Text
"I don't know what you heard about me~
But a bitch can't get a dollar outta me~
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see~
That I'm a motherfucking P-I-M-P."
Stephen and Jay were at a club on a school night. Should they be there? No. Were they even allowed to be in there? No. Their friend Puffin owned the place and let them come in to drink as long as they keep their gang in check and not destroy anything like last time. Since the last time they weren't around the guys got hammered and started a whole ass club fight fucking up the whole place. It took 3 weeks to fix the place up and a couple thousand to keep him happy. Let's say no one got a happy ending after what Stephen's punishment was for the group when they were sober.
This time was not a normal club trip. Most times the two were at this club it was to keep everyone in check and take a sip or two for the night so they can watch the shenanigans that happen. Like seeing some try and fail to pick up a girl when their plastered or to cheer when their friend is finally gonna get some. Today everyone is here to let Stephen and Jay have a good time after two weeks of nothing but stress for them.
After their last heist got busted and took four of their guys to prison, two injured and one almost dying on the way there, this confirmed that there was a traitor among them. It was supposed to be in and out operation not that many people knew what was going on other than Jay and the eight people there. This job was to single out whoever it was so they got everyone who was suspicious and brought them together to say that everyone wasn't going because they were doing another job that was more important. That was a lie, there was no other job if it wasn't obvious. Jay stayed with the others to explain what was going on and went to scope out the more 'important' job while Stephen went on the real job. To know that both locations were filled with cops screamed traitor.
It was supposed to be simple, they chose a location to meet and the other gang would meet them there to pay them and get their guns and drugs. Pretty simple if you were to ask Stephen. But life never wants to make things easy for him. The negotiation was simple both sides just wanted to get their shit and go. It wasn't until everyone was packing up to go when blue and red started flashing and hidden FBI Agents started raising pistols and yelling "PUT YOUR HANDS UP."
As soon as that was announced everyone sprinted to wherever they needed to be to pull up their guns and fire at the police. A sniper was hidden and hit someone in the shoulder. "BOSS, TURTLES DOWN" someone yelled in the earpiece and shots were fired right after.
Stephen winced at the yelling in his ear, "Maz, your gonna have to listen to me-" He peeked out and fired hitting a cop in the leg then went back into hiding "Your gonna have to leave him here for now. We can bust him out later but he'll only slow us down for-"
"I AM NOT LEAVING HIM HERE. AREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO TELL US FAMILY COMES FIRST." Maz replied until another shout of pain echoed through the earpiece. "SHEILA TELL HIM."
"Maz, I swear if you don't shut the fuck up and think about it I will push you into fire right now and use your body as my shield. We don't have a medic or even first aid on the truck he'll bleed out before we got to the nearest hideout." Stephen's hands were burning even with the gloves on and his arms hurt from the recoil.
"Fine we'll go but if I'm not there when he's out I'm gonna be pissed. So what's the plan boss."
"Thank god you finally got all that outta you. Your by the red storage unit right so your gonna run to the car when I start firing the AK and whoever gets into the driver is gonna drive over to me and I'm gonna hop in as you drive by. We're leaving out of exit 5 you hear me."
"Got it."
"Boss you think I can give you guys a hand in a distraction."
"Turtle nice to hear your up already but are you sure I know you got shot. Blood loss can fuck with people."
"It's fine. You guys are already planning to get me out so what's the big deal in getting some of us outta here to give the others the goods and I'm already in position and not gonna move anymore."
Stephen put his pistol in his holster and moves the AK-47 that was on his back into his hands taking it off safety, "Alright you guys better start moving in 3."
"THREE" Stephen gets up and fires at the cop cars and FBI vans. Maz and Shelia sprinted then hopped into the car and started moving towards him. When the bullets ran out he grabbed the magazine and threw it. The gunshots were still going off from the other gang. He moved the gun onto his back and said "Open the door. I'm hopping in."
As the car started getting close he took a deep breath as the door opened. Stephen waited a second preparing himself for pain and jumped hitting the back of the car holding onto the rails on the top. The burning feeling his hands made him struggle to pull himself into the car and shut the door. When he finally managed to get in he lied on the back seat already knowing how much pain he was going to be in the morning. "Nice one boss," Shelia said "Just like an actor if you ask me."
"Hey I would be a much better actor then half of those bastards. Stephen does this shit professionally and the greatest to ever live unlike those guys if you ask me."
Stephen studied Maz as this was going on and properly sat up. It was his first time having to leave behind someone so close to him. "Maz. Look at me."
He turned from his front seat to look at Stephen and asked "What do you want."
"I'm getting this outta the way now so I don't need to do it later. I know you didn't want leave Turtle and it sucks to see another person who follows me get sent to prison for years but he'll be fine trust me. We have got family that are there and keep him safe alright. We'll be getting all of them out as soon as possible okay." He seemed to be in shock hearing this from Stephen.
As a gang leader, Stephen seemed absolutely ruthless, intelligent and cold hearted to the world after hearing his kill count and amount of crimes he's committed. But on the inside he was making sure his whole family got what they needed to live even if it was through illegal means. The gang members physical and mental health was the priority and if someone needed to leave they can go just don't snitch.
But after that day, Stephen and Jay were on a constant search of who was the traitor outta the people who were 'captured.' They were up for 72 hours straight, the only break would be to go to school and bullshit assignments until they came back to work. The two fell asleep for a whole day only to keep working when they were up. Everyone needed to force them out the house to go have a good time at the club which led to them dancing to where we start except the song finally changed to Disco Inferno-50 Cent.
So despite being in constant stress for the last two weeks they still had the energy to dance and sing with drink in their hands "Lil' mama show me how you move it. Go ahead put your back into it. Do ya thang like there ain't nothin' to it. Shake, s-s-shake that ass girl." Right before the repeat of the lyrics a guy quickly moved his way through the crowd trying to get to Jay and Stephen. He got to them and tapped them "We got 'em."
All the joy and alcohol seem to sober up as Jay states "They're in the back."
The guy nods and turns to take them. "Of course when it's a good song they get him but I suggest we go," Jay states motioning a 'after you.'
"Well no shit Sherlock that's how life works and of course after me. The best goes first after all" Stephen replied flipping his short hair at him.
They moved towards the back and the guy opened the door to see Puffin setting everything up without batting an eye throws gloves at them. "Remember as long as I get one punch in with my new brass knuckles you can what ever the hell you to the guy as long as you or someone cleans up" Puffin states as he looks up at them and throws gloves at them.
There was a guy tied to the chair with a cloth covering his eyes and another in his mouth. "Puffin wake him up then so we get this over with."
Puffin grinned as he cracked his knuckles yelling 'WA BAAM" as he punched the guy awake and heard groaning from the guy. A tooth flew out as Puffin laughed grabbing a cloth to clean his brass knuckle and put it in his pocket "Have fun trying to get everything outta him the first time."
"Of course we will, god what do you expect outta us slitting his wrist to make him bleed out faster. Amateur" Jay says shaking his head and putting on his gloves to check out what they have.
Stephen puts on the gloves and walks to the guy moving the spotlight onto his face as he struggled to see. "Rise and shine traitor. Let's see the fucking rat" the light cleared to see Jordan, he was a good drinker.
"Really? Jordan the second is the traitor. Damn shame we were gonna have a drinking competition when you guys got back."
Stephen inspected Jordan and grabbed his chin to get a good look at where Puffin punched him. "Holy shit Puffin got a good hit on you. Jay it's already turning red and puffing up dude that one is gonna last awhile." He started laughing and continued "I know I need to start torturing you but holy shit I'm so amazed on how much repressed rage Puffin has. Jay were getting Puffin to do the next one for us. I wanna see how many punches it takes for someone to squeal."
Jay gives Jordan a look "Yeah he's fucked up and we haven't even started. Man I remember the last I pissed off Puffin with brass knuckles when I was drunk and never again. I- Freaking purple bruises on my sides for weeks. Not even the ones that go numb after awhile just pure stinging."
"Hey Jay what are we feeling? No wait what do you have" Stephen says looking at what Puffin grave them. Knives, pliers, hammers and more were there.
Jay plays with the knife for a moment and moves to the sledge hammer then picks it up. "Personally I feel like busting someone's knee caps in or burning them but we can go with knifes to get him talking" Jay states putting down the hammer then grabs the knives.
Jordan was completely awake and watching their every move "So Jordan you already know the many ways we torture and kill people. Now all we wanna know is which department your from, how much do you know and basically everything. So get talking before we start finding your family and kill them one by one in front of you until your begging us to kill you."
He kept quiet which was a true shame since now Jay had to do something. He grabbed Jordan's hand and broke his index finger. He screamed as Jay went one by one breaking each finger playing with him more and more until all ten were broken and twisted at an awkward angles. "OH Jay I have a good idea. We should sew his mouth shut and then break his knee caps" Stephen said jumping up and clapping "No- actually we should let the boys have their fun with electrocuting him until he permanently damages his vocal cords then sew his mouth shut. Then we can leave him in front of his department."
"That actually doesn't sound to bad. So we can go party and get some of the guys to due this for the next week or two to relief stress then have them report anything while he's babbling for life. Until he spills everything he can then we can sew his mouth shut and put him out his department half dead" Jay says with a bright smile "Wait we're missing something Stephen."
"That would be" Stephen's arm were crossed and his eyebrow was raised in confusion as Jay grabbed the sledge hammer with a brighter smile than before as his eyes open to show bright multicolored pupils screaming with joy and mischief. Everything clicked for Stephen as Jay raised the sledge hammer and slammed it into Jordan's knee cap and hearing Jordan's muffled screams as there was a sickening crack showed he definitely regrets not talking sooner. 'I don't think he's realized it's just started' Stephen thought to himself as he studied Jordan's reactions.
"Would you like the other Boss" Jay dramatically said pointing the back of the sledge hammer to Stephen.
"Why of course my good second in command" Stephen replied grabbing the hammer and walking closer to Jordan.
He has a terrified look in his eyes as he stared into Stephen's eyes begging him to stop and tears started to fall from his eyes. 'It's what he should've thought about before fucking with my family' Stephen thought as he swung the hammer down to his knee cap with another sickening crack. Stephen puts down the weapon and starts to leave taking off his gloves "Let's get the others to start working on this. We need to find who he was reporting to ASAP to find them and figure out how much they know."
As soon as Stephen opens the door everyone who was in the gang looked at their direction. He motioned to the door it was a signal to come over then closed it and waited for a minute or two as the whole group entered at once with Puffin being the last to enter.
As soon as Stephen says, "Sorry Puffin we're gonna need the car battery for this one" Puffin groaned as he automatically leaves to get the stuff for whatever they plan to do.
"So people once Puffin comes back with the car battery and jumper cables who wants to stay here with the traitor and electrocute him. The others can come back with us to go party until we leave. You can decide among yourselves" Jay bluntly states as the two started to leave over the arguing. They take off the gloves and throw it at the group as they open the door and leave to be hit with the sound of good music and smell of alcohol.
This was Stephen Ng's life as the boss of a gang. It was busy, messy and complicated because of the amount of friends and enemies that lingered in the background and how many people needed to be okay at the end of the day while successfully hiding his identity. But man I don't think anyone has realized that it gets even more complicated because we haven't even seen what he does during the daytime yet people.
