Chapter 17
"So, tell me again why you don't want to involve Anissa or Jen in this?" Gambi asked Jefferson as he finished suiting up.
"Well for one thing, considering the target I'm planning on hitting, I'm afraid either one of them, but especially Jen, might lose control and blow the place up. But more importantly, right now Tobias only knows about Black Lightning and I want to keep it that way until he actually shows his albino ass around Freeland, since then he'll only be expecting me." Jefferson said.
"And he'll be surprised and unprepared to deal with Thunder and Lightning as well." Gambi said.
"Exactly. I know they can handle themselves, but they're both too inexperienced to deal with Tobias if he's expecting them. This way they'll have more time to prepare against him and we'll have the element of surprise in our favor." Jefferson said.
"Okay that makes sense. I'll back you up when you tell them." Gambi said.
"Thanks. Now, time to take out the Seahorse Motel." Jefferson said.
"Jeff, you realize that there's a good chance that this will also bring the ASA's attention down on you." Gambi said.
"Maybe, but most of their resources are focused on covering their asses after our attack on them to spare anything on us." Jefferson said.
"I hope you're right. Now get moving." Gambi said and Jefferson nodded he headed out.
That night found Black Lightning standing on top of the Seahorse Motel, preparing to take down the Seahorse Motel and this time, he was going to make sure that Lala did not escape. He knew that Henderson was all set to take down the motel, as long as Jefferson made sure that there was evidence to be used to take it down.
"So Jeff, you ready?" Gambi asked.
"Let's do this." Black Lightning said as he siphoned electricity from the sign before dropping down in front of one of the guards.
"What the?" the guard asked as Black Lightning just punched him out before making his way through the motel.
"Where's Lala?" Black Lightning demanded as he fought his way through the guards.
"You looking for me?" Lala asked as he stepped out of a room, a gun in hand.
"You really think that will work against me?" Black Lightning asked.
"Let's find out." Lala said as he fired at him, only for the bullet to bounce off the suit harmlessly.
"You should at least give a brother a chance to say something heroically clever first." Black Lightning said as he blasted Lala with enough electricity to hurt him, but not kill him.
"Where's your boss?" Black Lightning as he tossed Lala to the ground.
"What are you talking about? I am the boss." Lala said, only to have Black Lightning blast him again.
"Don't you dare lie to me. We both know that you answer to Tobias Whale. Now tell me, where is he hiding his albino ass?" Black Lightning asked.
"I don't know, believe me, if I did, I'd tell you so you'd light up his ass instead of mine." Lala groaned and Black Lightning believed him.
"Fine. But you know the police are going to be here any minute and we both know that Tobias is gonna pay you a visit sooner or later. So when he does, you're going to give him a message from me." Black Lightning said.
"And what would that be?" Lala asked, only to have Black Lightning blast him again.
"Show respect to your elders. But tell him that he failed to kill me once. And more importantly, tell him that he better be ready, because now that I'm back, I'm coming for him." Black Lightning said as he let Lala go and quickly departed at the sound of the cops arriving.
