Chapitre 41: Day 11 part 1
Lillian woke up to a nurse taking her vitals.
"Good morning are you ready to go home today?" The nurse said.
"Yes definitely." Lillian said looking around for Jake. "Have you seen my husband?"
"He left a few hours ago." The nurse said.
Lillian picked up her phone and called him. It rang a few time and went to voice mail.
"I guess he'll be here in a little bit." Lillian said.
Hours passed and all the paper work was done. The hospital was ready for her to go home. She had tried many times to get a hold of Jake but he would not pick up.
Lillian was getting worried so she called Zane.
"Hello Lillian what can I bring you?"
"Zane, I can't get a hold of Jake. I need a ride home from the hospital. They have already discharged me." She said.
"Oh, I'll be right there to get you. Where is Jake?" He asked.
"I don't know he was gone when I woke up."
"I'll try calling him. But rest assured I will be there to get you in fifteen minutes."
Zane left work and headed over with a driver. The whole way there he kept calling Jakes phone and he did not pick up.

Jake left the hospital early in the morning. He was on the way to meet with some men about underground club that a few of his friends started back in high school.
It had made them a lot of money and Charlie kept it going ever since. However a new mob was trying to take over so he had to deal with the trash.
"Thanks for coming." Charlie said.
"What happened to you?" Jake asked.
"The Red Snakes busted in and tore up everything. Six guys were sent to the infirmary. Jojo had a tuff time fixing them up. They will be out of comission for a few months."
"What do the Red Snakes want?" Jake asked.
"80% of the take."
"No, can you set up a meeting with their boss?"
"Sure, give me a sec." Charlie took out his phone and made a call. Ten minutes later her received a call back.
"The boss Samuel agreed to meet with you at ten. Here at the underground arena."
"Ok, get as many men here and get them hidden well. Make sure That they can get to me with in a few seconds if this goes south."
"You can trust me."
Jake sat back and downed a few whiskeys. He then opened a new bottle very carefully and dropped a few pills in. Then re sealed it.
All then men were in place and it was now a waiting game.
"Mr. Wolf it is a pleasure to meet you." A big burly italian man came walking in.
"You must be Samuel. Sorry no one gave me you last name." Jake said.
"Just call me Samuel. So have you decided to agree to our conditions?"
"Let's talk. A drink of brandy?" Jake opened the bottle.
"Sure, I never turn down a free drink."
Jake poured two glasses and made a toast, "May negotiations go as smooth as this brandy."
Samuel click his glass and downed the drink. Jake pretended to sip his.
"Now tell me why you tore up my place?" Jake asked.
"Tore up is such a ugly word. My men just caused a little chaos to get your attention." Samuel said.
Jake refilled his glass, "Then did you want my attention ?"
Samuel down his next drink. "You see I think that I could run this operation better with my men. I would still give you a cut for starting this."
"What type of cut?" Jake poured another drink.
"80 - 20... you know this ..." He then passed out.
Before Samuel men could do anything they were captured by Jake's men.
They took everyone down stairs to the holding cells.
A few hours went by when Samuel started to come threw. He cussed and screamed. He threatened bodily harm.
"Now, now Samuel. It's not nice to threaten you host." Jake said.
"How did I get here?" Samuel said.
"Well, You see I drugged the brandy."
"But I watch you open a new bottle."
"That's an old trick. Now let me be very clear. My friends and I started this fight club many years ago. We have battled many men trying to take it from us. Most walked away. A few were never heard from again. Which group will you be a part of?"
"You are saying if I choose to just walk away you will let me?" Samuel asked.
"Maybe. Depends on the competition you provide." Jake says.
"What do you want?"
"Six of my guys are out for at least three months. That is at least a million each. Then your men tore up the arena and that is at least another mill."
"Seven Million?"
"No no no, Then I had to come down here and disturb my Sunday to deal with you. Then there is finding new players. I say more like 20 million." Jake sat there.
"Your crazy, 20 million is to much. I won't pay." Samuel yelled.
"Fine by me. It's usually better to make you disappear. And your men... I can give them a chance to live by fighting for their lives." He stands up and walks towards the door.
"Wait" Samuel says.
"For what?" Jake asked.
"I'll get you the money and leave the club alone." Samuel said.
"Good chose. Charlie handle it from here. I need to leave." He then looks down at his phone. "Shit"
Jake had 14 missed calls from his wife and six from Zane. He rushed back to the hospital. When he opened the door to his wife's room there was an old man sleeping in the bed.
He stopped a nurse, "Where is my wife?" he asked.
"She checked out this morning." She said.
He then picked up his phone to call his voice mail.
