Chapter 13: 13: Wilfork
"So what are you doing alone here?" Samia asked as she ordered a drink on a tablet and paid by card, "I'm here to have fun miss." Samia smirked, "Me too. Hard Partyer?" He nodded excitedly, as he downed another drink, "Calm down with the drinks."
"You said you biked here? Are you sure it won't get stolen? I mean, Peckham's not really a safe place." Samia asked, but Vince really didn't register what she said, and he just looked her up and down.
"Vinceeee. Don't look at me like that." She said in a cutesy voice, "Oh yeah. Don't worry, if it got stolen... my boys would track it down." Samia nodded before becoming serious, "Your boys are you like a gang member?"
He nodded as he, instead of downing the drink, sipped it. When Samia's drink arrived she also sipped instead of downing her drink. "I mean, you're probably rich off fraud. Why would you care about some bike?"
"The bike is stolen and busted. Speed restrictions are broken, so if someone crashes, the police might show up. It's unlikely." She nodded, "The police. I thought you weren't meant to be scared of them."
"Trust me, I'm not. Just if someone fucks up, leads the police one step closer to us, but... It doesn't even... matter because they are always on the back foot. It takes hours for them to respond; they are overwhelmed and underfunded."
"And these bikes are important to us." Samia's eyebrows raised, "Us?" Vince smiled as he sipped again, "...My... boys." He said nearly gagged, "You heard about the Highwaymen?" She shook her head, "They run Aylesbury Estate, Tax the gangs, the shops the people, and I think they killed two of my guys."
"So, when I catch them, I'm going to fuck them up. Hit and run on bikes all wondered of us." He said as he clutched his drink, annoyed, "There are over 200 of yous; where'd the bikes come from?" Samia asked, "We have a warehouse in Docks of Bristol, in the city centre. The Highwaymen wouldn't see it coming."
"The who way what?" Vince laughed at her supposed naivety, "4 powerful guys, they guys are fat fucks who rob, menace and threaten whoever... whenever." Samia laughed, "If they're just fat, just run circles around them."
Vince laughed as he downed another drink, "Man, they fat as hell but they like 6'3, 125kg, and they all athletes, the biggest one is 6'6 135kg. It's fucking ridiculous."
