That’s pretty fucking smart. I nod and hit the button. “Get Web hacking any feeds at wherever he is.”
Major picks up on the first ring. “Cort, my new Security said I’d get a call within ten minutes. It’s been one.”
I smile. “Major, there is a tie from Black Sheep to you that has to do with Mark Carlson. Carlson also has ties to Deacon, Six-Guns, me, my dad, Jules and my uncle’s bar was shot up a few days ago, so him too. They bought Carlson’s bike that your Enforcers confiscated to pay off his debt. That bike was given to me by my dad and uncle. At a guess, Crow will also be named before the dust settles.”
“Holy fuck. Carlson? We’ve had a few minor skirmishes with his people for years.”
“Would that be about seven years?” I ask.
“Jordan would have dates, but I’d say yes. We need to cut off Carlson then all the people he’s drawn in on this. Do you want me to put a call out for help?”
Not a chance. “No. We have the manpower and the ability to get this done. Web and Jordan are collecting information now. This is spread wide and over years. Once I get location, I’ll deal with Carlson. We’ll plan for the rest when that’s done. Because your name is mixed in there, you’ll have an Enforcer team as Security or added to what you have in place. Web will tell me when he’s played all his leads out and we’ll schedule a meet after that. Jordan is on with him so it shouldn’t take too long.”
“It sounds like I need to let you run this and wait for you to tell me what you need. We don’t have the IT here anymore to dig like Jordan and his team did.”
I smile. “You still have him, Major, he’s just not on the side of you. He’s got his team running with Web and the albinos. He seemed relieved to run intel while I deal with Carlson. Once they’re ready, we can plan. His head will be clear and more of a help with the next step.”
“I’ll let you both do your jobs and relax. What do I do?”
I was waiting for this. “You have a chopper going to the city. Can you get it filled with Enforcers, drop them in the city and pick up teams from here and transport them to the city too?”
“I can send two. Jordan asked for help this morning. The choppers can’t take the bikes, Cort.”
I cut him off. “I have stock in the city and here. Bikes and ammo will be set. What I don’t have is the Brothers or ability to move them over distance quickly.” I’ll address the need for stock in Colorado at our council meeting.
“You do now.”
I laugh. “I love the fucking Brotherhood. So, we’re set and just waiting on Jordan and Web’s geeks. Someone will call with a time for the meet once everything is in.”
“To be clear. I go to the Ops room and meet from the new camera they put in?”He’s not an IT guy.
“From your normal seat at the table, we’ll see you on our screens, you’ll see us the same way. It will be like we’re all at the same table. Similar to how we ran the city Op, but now your room is hooked in and this is just a planning meeting.”
“That doesn’t sound as complicated as Jordan said with feeds and syncing something or other.” He reminds me of Rex.
“It’s not, Major. It all just means that planning and meeting will be easier and a hell of a lot quicker.”
“Sounds good, I’ll get the men and choppers ready for your call.”
“Thanks, Major. I’m out.” I swipe my phone off and turn to Hade. “I need Roger to release forty bikes and transport set to get them to the city Club. He should be able to get them there quickly. If not, find a way to transport them. Have Amos settle with him. Call the warehouse and get a full shipment of stock dropped in the city, then here in two days. Beacon, Chaps and Horn on alert and readied with inventory and available Securitynumbers for a planning meet. You’ll need Enforcer team numbers and everything I just said to be done. Make sure Jordan knows shit is coming his way so they’re prepared for it.”
He looks up from his phone. “On it, Boss. You have an hour and a half ride, the teams you asked for and restock you didn’t. Fuel stop is marked on the map I sent you with directions. I have two questions before you go.”
I nod for him to go. “Shipment in two days?” It’s a valid question.
“Yeah, for us it will be restock. For them, it’s what’s needed. Banks has us full here.”
He nods. “The planning meeting, is it with us there or just who you named?”
I shake my head. “Sorry, Brother. My head is filled with Carlson fucking with my family. Planning will be like we always do but we have more Brothers from all over and Raid and Falcon are leaving with me. I don’t want to have to wait for numbers when we get back. The geek squad may be finished and the meet set early. Raid and Falcon have the help so we may as well use them. Who else is with my team?”
“Brinks. Jinx is training tonight.”
“Good. Anything else?”
“Yeah, Nomads from Kansas are hanging off the slab seven miles from your destination. They have two watching Carlson’s so we know if he moves.”
My Brothers are fucking good. “Thanks. Good call.”
