His hands are clenched into fists at his sides, and the scowl on his face is fearsome. After the guys who’d ambushed us put Monk down and forced Cosmo and me to stop, they’d caught up to Blake and Grease. They put a bullet through Grease’s leg and roughed Blake up then left them on the side of the road and made off with both vans. All of the guns and the weed we’d just picked up were gone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: 22pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Twentieth Century',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe first thing we did was take Monk to the hospital. He has a couple of broken bones in his hands but other than that, he’s very lucky. Other than a really bad case of road rash, he didn’t suffer any major injuries. He’s going to be laid up in the hospital for a little while, but he’s going to be okay.

Doc’s reasoning was that if he was going to be patching people up, he needed a proper facility rather than laying patients out on the tables in here. So Prophet finally had a prefab building constructed that would serve as our own little hospital.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: 22pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Twentieth Century',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe hope was that with Zavala out of the picture, it wouldn’t need to be used much.

For a long while, the Warriors worked with the Zavala cartel. The former Warriors’ President was chummy with the cartel leader and enjoyed a good working relationship with him. But not all of the MC was on board with what they were doing. Most of them drew the line at human trafficking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: 22pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Twentieth Century',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eSo Tarantula and his number two, a guy named Bala, came to us for help. Long story short, we took out the former President, allowing Tarantula to slide into the club’s big chair. And after that, they worked with us, feeding us important intel that allowed us to take Zavala out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 24pt; text-indent: 22pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Twentieth Century',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eOver the last six months since we did that, our relationship with the Warriors has never been better. Our bond with them is tight.
