Chapter 23 : The King of the West side

Mawson, Stephen and Josie drove straight as they headed into an alley before parking they got down from the car and walked deeper into the alley as they saw a door that had a local pawnshop sign hanging from above. Knocking on the door they heard a footstep coming as the door opened and an old man was seen standing inside as he looked round observing them before walking away letting them pass.

"we need to get gears downstairs" Josie said as she headed towards the back door.

"the kid is going to" he asked looking at her

"yeah the kid is coming to" she said smiling at Mawson as they went downstairs.

The down was wider than where they came from getting to the down floor it was a wide area as in built light where placed in the ceiling there where large metallic tables and every metal table had different prototypes and weapons. There were eleven people down there and they where the ones who sold the prototypes the place reeked the smell of weed as they where smoking, looking at the new arrivals a frown appeared on their faces.

"Stephen i heard about your deal gone wrong why did you do it to" a man said as he walked towards them

"teah dude why did you give a fake that's low now you got all the agencies after you" another said

"did they seriously call the cops on me" Stephen said

"duh more like fbi and interpol " the first man said he was known as Adrian

"hey Josie what were you thinking bringing your kid here" another said drawing everyone's attention to Mawson

"he is not mine he is Stephen's ask him sbout the kid" she said smiling.

"Stephen why are you here?" a guy named Randy said as he walked towards them he was the person who started the underground weapons sales in this part of Triton making him the king of the west as there where two more kings like him in Triton.

"and why did you bring your kid down here you teaching him the business" he added

"uhm no he isn't my kid i don't even know his parents but he payed me of and he is now my boss" Stephen stated as he looked at Mawson who had already started looking round.

"are you mad a kid is now your boss? seriously Stephen you are unbelievable hey kid how old are you?" Randy saud as he walked towards Mawson who simply turned towards the man asking.

"eighteen who is asking" Mawson asked

"the boss now leave you aren't any freaking gang type" Randy said in a harsh voice.

"eh Randy don't do that" Stephen said trying to stop him

"shut up you prickly coward letting an eighteen year old boy buy you over if you don't want to be arrested then i suggest you make this disrespectful dimwit leave my base" he shouted as he looked at Stephen

"you want this dimwit to leave make him leave you are the boss right?" Mawson said angering Randy who immediately picked a gun and shot Mawson in the head but was shocked as he saw the bullet in Mawson's hands.

"how how did you catch it ? whatever" he said as he put the gun at automatic before shooting Mawson ten times as he watched Mawson's body drop to the ground dead.

"no matter how fast you are you can never catch all of the bullets" he said as he dropped the gun before turning to Stephen "you clean this mess and if you ever come here again i would kill you" Randy said

"you shouldn't give threats which can't be fulfilled" Mawson said as he stood up from the ground shocking everybody.

"what are you ?!!" Randy said looking at Mawson as he was shocked at how Mawson was still alive

"well i am human duh " Mawson said smiling

"what do you want?"he asked

"now i want you to be my partner well not like thar though more like i need something you provide understand" he said

"like what will we be providing?" Randy asked

"well prototypes weapons and men " Mawson said

"hmm why do you want my business?" he asked

"well lets say i might need each and everything that you have" Mawson replied

"what if i say no ?" she asked

"well you are meant to answer that yourself what will you do if you don't get what you want?" Mawson replied smiling

"hmm partners?" he asked

"well not me and you, you and Stephen will be partners I will be say sponsor you say boss" he said

"you want to be my boss and why would i agree to that lets say i and my guys pieces you and trap you in the ocean lets see you come back from that" Randy said as he wasn't really going to let anyone take his title as king and he wasn't going to call anyone his boss.

"hmm you do know there are several ways i can kill you?" Mawson asked

"you are a bad egg" Randy said looking at Stephen

"fine hmm"he added

"fine what?" Mawson asked frowning

"fine bo fine boss "Randy said looking at him with an annoyed smile

"never smile at me like that i hate it" Mawson said as he walked towards the stairs "and ow i really hate Betrayal" he stated before climbing the stairs and leaving .He passed the old man up stairs as he headed for the car.

"wow seriously Maimai what are you cause you are pretty scary man" Josie said as she entered the passenger seat letting Mawson enter the back as he gave Stephen the keys making him drive.

"head for a restaurant then a hotel" he said as he closed his eyes shut.
