Chapter 221: The Biker Gang
Election day was nearing. Tony was busy with the last round of the campaign. As much as Marcella wanted to travel with him, she couldn’t. She helped him in other ways possible.
Since he was running as the relatable one, Marcella suggested coming grocery shopping with her. Of course, there were cameras around and it was going to be used as a campaign advert. Marcella gave that idea and everyone loved it.
Marcella purposefully went to the same store she visited. She still did her shopping herself and she was acquainted with the staff there. Tony too was not a stranger to shopping as he helped her at times.
Marcella had a lot planned, but once she entered the store, she forgot about the cameras and acted as she usually do. Some people were wary of the cameras but others chatted with Marcella jovially. Marcella didn’t fail to remind them to vote for her husband and she got good responses.
Tony checked the product and the percentage of taxes they paid and took mental notes of everything. Marcella wondered if he had come up with a plan to reduce taxes. Everyone who earned enough to pay taxes would be happy to get the taxes reduced.
As they were getting out, Marcella almost jumped in fright seeing the bunch of motorcycles turning up in the parking lot. The men riding those bikes looked rough and were loud. The leather jackets, the cigarettes, and the loud behavior instilled fear in the hearts of many, and many quietly scampered away.
Even Marcella who was used to loud, rough-looking men was a little scared of them. Most of them were carrying and she knew they would belong to a gang judging by the tattoos. Some of them had tattoos on their faces even.
Marcella looked at Tony. Although she didn’t feel very safe, Tony didn’t find the need to protect her.
Does he know them?
Marcella watched as Tony walked straight to the man walking in the front with a cigarette in his mouth. He was wearing a leather jacket and his shirt was open. His chest was covered in tattoos. His long mullet swayed in the wind as he removed the bandana he was wearing.
"Tony! My man!"
That burly man hugged Tony and patted his back hard.
