At the Red Devil

July 18, 1979

Jake was elated to know that the Angry Cocks, his favorite band, were performing at Pelham's Red Devil bar. He convinced his blond girlfriend Tracey, as well as Hoagie and Berlin, to join up with him to travel to Pelham.

Growing up in Pelham, he learned to brawl when he was 16, and was offered to join the Turnbull AC's, but he turned it down, but remained on good terms with them. He then moved to Sea Gate, where he, along with Hoagie, whom he made friends with, were given the opportunity to become the muscle for the Crescent Moons.

Unfortunately, it also came with a price: the two junkies Ripper and Marcie were secretly manufacturing ****, which caused Slattery to kick both of them out. He was clearly concerned about his daughter Lisa, whom he didn't want to grow up a junkie just like them.

"You got tickets to the show?" Hoagie asked.

"Hell no! They just let us in, no tickets and crap." Jake replied with a grin.

"I wonder what they look like in person." Berlin added.

"I dunno, but I think they're with the Turnbull AC's. Don't worry, they won't know we're here." Jake told them as he chuckled.

The subway then arrived at Pelham, and the two couples exited, making their way to the Red Devil. When they entered the bar, they found a semi-large crowd moshing, while others were ordering beer. On the stage were none other than the Angry Cocks, and Jake immediately rocked out with the others.

However, at the tables, a man with black hair was talking to several patrons, claiming that the Crescent Moons took the Moonrunners's name without their permission. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Slattery actually formed the Crescent Moons five years ago, in 1974.

"See those jackasses in purple? Those pricks stole our name; we came up with the Moonrunners first!" Lunar, the dark-haired Moonrunner, exclaimed.

As the Angry Cocks began their next song, Jake went to get some beer for Tracey, while Hoagie and Berlin were talking over some beer of their own. Suddenly, the taller, blond-haired muscle felt his wrist grabbed and was pinned to the wall.

"Where's your leader?! I wanna see him right now!" Lunar asked, a look of anger on his face.

"Are you kiddin'?! Slattery's at his estate, he doesn't need any fuckin' pansies like you spreading rumors and shit!" Jake told him.

"Oh yeah!?" Lunar then knocked Jake's head to the wall, almost to the point of breaking his skull. However, Hoagie took notice and he and Berlin went to make the save.

"What the fuck!? We're havin' a good time and now you wanna screw this shit up!?" Berlin asked Lunar.

"Hey, I'm not the only one here that wants a piece of you guys." Lunar said, and whistled for more Moonrunners to appear.

"Shit, 3 against 5!?" Hoagie asked. He then gave Berlin and Jake a brief glance before the two groups started brawling.

While Berlin elbowed a Moonrunner in the stomach, Hoagie attacked another by performing a bulldog on him. Jake then stomped another in the back, and began punching his face several times.

Lunar then came in and put Jake in a chokehold, but not before Tracey came in and slammed a beer bottle onto Lunar's head. He then took notice and attempted to come after her, but Jake ended up throwing him outside through the main door, where he gave him a few punches.

Berlin immediately took notice of the two remaining Moonrunners and roundhouse kicked one in the face. She then took out some money and paid the bartender, telling him, "Keep the change, buy something cool."

Hoagie tackled the last Moonrunner and put him in a camel clutch, before he let him go, and Lunar yelled, "You assholes haven't seen the last of me yet! We'll be back, and we're gonna get that sonovabitch Slattery if that's what it takes!!"

As Lunar and the Moonrunners ran off, Jake told Hoagie and Berlin, "Those assholes still don't know Slattery formed the Crescent Moons five years ago...about time we talked some sense into 'em."

"They'll come back soon, I guarantee you." Hoagie replied with a nod. The two couples then went back to enjoy the rest of the concert, hoping, upon Jake's request, that they get autographs on Tracey's breasts.

When the concert ended, the group met up with the Angry Cocks. To their surprise, Tracey pulled up her top and bra, exposing her breasts so that they get their autographs.

"Sure, why the hell not!" One of the members of the Angry Cocks replied, then took out a black marker from his pocket and began drawing the band's signature onto Tracey's left breast.

"Thank you so much. I'll remember this signature." Tracey said with a small smile.

"You guys wanna get some more beer?" Berlin asked as Tracey put her top and bra back on.

"Okay, let's go grab some more shots and maybe even get a little wasted. Maybe even check out Tracey's tits from underneath that shirt." Hoagie replied.

"You're really fearless tonight, aren't ya, Hoag?" Jake asked with a small laugh, and the quartet then made their way to the bartender, where they were order free beer thanks to them kicking out the Moonrunners.
