Or, they've been no help at all.\u003cbr\u003eSwitch sides.\u003cbr\u003eCall an outlaw...\u003cbr\u003eTroy Bittles, a retired Enforcer for the world's most notorious bike gang The Breakers, can help. Retirement is boring, and he's done a lot of bad. In an effort to balance the scales of justice Troy uses his particular skill set to help his neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOak Park is a diverse gumbo of Nouveau Rich, street gangs, and motorcycle clubs with a worldwide footprint. That diversity leads to many great and extraordinary alliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAidan and Margie Hills have been in the neighborhood since WWII. They are upstanding model citizens. Their best friend and de facto son, Troy, is the mirror image of most that is good.\u003cbr\u003eTroy was born and raised in the neighborhood. Like father like son, Troy is a one-percenter, a motorcycle outlaw. He has never worked a traditional job in his life, yet is highly paid for what he does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hilles are desperate, their teenage grandson whom they have raised as their own son has run away. Up until now he has been a trouble-free young man, but bad company corrupts good manners as the Good Book says. Or, as Aidan would put it, “You run with dogs, you’ll get fleas.” Aaron recently took up with the Goths, kids with an over-familiarity to death and dead things.\u003cbr\u003eThe Hilles realize they should have called Troy earlier.\u003cbr\u003eCan Troy track down one runaway in a city of seven million? Can he ‘bring’ him home? All in one piece...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoonlight began its life as the opening chapter of my soon to come crime novel, Flatline. It was eighty-sixed for not fitting in.\u003cbr\u003eI enjoyed this part of the story, and I think you will too.\u003cbr\u003eAll the elements and scenes in this story, to one degree or another, come from my own experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M.
