Family Legacy

San Francisco. The Street Rover is seen driving down a wealthy looking neighborhood. They stop at one particular house and get out.

"You sure this is the place Huntie?" says Colleen

"This is the right address."

Hunter knocks on the door. The door opens and standing their, in fitting attire is the butler. This is Reginald.

"Good afternoon. Can I help you?"

"Uhh, I don't think so. We must have the wrong address. Were looking for Outlaw."

"Leader of the Maddogs?"

"That's right."

"This is their residence. May I ask who is inquireing?"

"The Road Rovers."

"Oh good heavens. The Road Rovers themselves. Please do come in. I'll inform him that your here."

They step in. Hunter does a wolf whistle.

"Check this place out!" says Blitz

"Very nice!" says Exile

"So, what do you think?"

They turn to see Outlaw leaning against a door, arms and legs crossed smiling, wearing an expensive looking bath robe.

"I like the place." says Hunter

"Ja. You've done well for yourselves." says Blitz

"Wait till you see Wesley's workshop." says Outlaw "But you obviously came for a reason."

"Your right." says Hunter "We have a job for you. Head for Maddox Texas. The Sheriff will fill you in."

"No problem. Enjoy the house, guys."

******

Maddox Texas, Sherrif Jennifer Howard's office.

"Take a look at this photo." says Howard "His name is Simon Essex."

"William Essex's brother?" says Outlaw

"Who?" says Silver

"William Essex was a Texas big wig a few years ago." says Outlaw "He was the bane of the Storm Corps."

"The who?" says Beowulf

"A group of tornado chasers who worked for the Rovers, just like us. They retired after Essex mysteriously disapeared. And good riddance too, Essex fancied himself the next General Parvo."

"That's right." says Howard "And his brother is no better. Rumor has it the mob is making inroads in Dallas. Simon Essex is there go between, but we can't prove it. We need a copy of all his records to bring him in on charges."

"No problem." says Wesley "Your talking to an expert computer geek."

"What's the bounty?" says Outlaw

Howard names a price.

"Done. When can we go after his files?"

"When he leaves his home and heads into town. He doesn't come back until after midnight."

"Were on it."

Outside of town, the Maddogs are hidden behind some bushes.

"Harley, do you read any alarms?" says Outlaw

"One. I can deactivate it from here."

"Good. When we leave turn it back on again."

They sneak up to a window of his house. Wesley takes out a device with a razor on it and begins to cut a hole. He then reaches in and undoes the lock on the window and they step inside. Then Wesley puts the piece of window back in place and his device seals it up again.

"Where do you come up with this stuff?" says Beowulf

"Oh, it just comes to me. Now, let's do some hacking."

Beowulf begins to hack loudly. When he see's Wesley's annoyed look, he stops and smiles.

"Sorry. Couldn't resist."

Wesley turns on the computer and slips a disk in. He cracks his knuckles.

"All right let's see what we've got."

After typing in some commands the files come up.

"Well well. Look's like Mr. Essex has been busy."

The other whistle in astonishment.

"Selling arms to the Iraqi's, bribing government officials, meth and marijuana labs. Ohh this guys going down."

"I'll copy it to the disk. All right, let's go."

Sherriff Howard's office. Outlaw hands the disk to her.

"It's all there Sherrif. Just as promised"

"I can't thank you enough."

"....In other news, Simon Essex, brother of industrialist turned crook William Essex was arrested today on counts ranging from arms smuggling, to bribery. Several high officals in office have also been arrested for accepting bribe money from Mr. Essex. In other news...."

*****

San Francisco, the Maddog's home.

"Welcome home sir." says Reginald

"Thank you Reginald. The Rovers still here?"

"In the kitchen sir."

"Oh man Outlaw, this place is incredible." says Hunter

They notice Shag leaning in his chair with a full stomach. Hunter notices the Maddogs staring and chuckles nervously.

"I should apologize for him."

"Oh no it's all right. Your welcome to stay whenever you want. We've got the space. In fact, let the other teams know that if they're ever in the nieghborhood they're welcome to stay.

"That's very kind of you lad." says Colleen
