Chapter 21 Summary
A terrible storm begins while the Strokers are meeting on Fever Beach. The miserable, wet men listen as Onus announces his promotion to co-leader. He tells the men that they need a compound of their own so that they do not have to meet at places like Fever Beach. Figgo tries to wrest control of the meeting from him. They scuffle, and Twilly grabs Onus. Onus tries to punch Twilly, and Twilly quickly subdues him.
Figgo retakes control of the meeting. Onus gets angry about Figgo’s suggestion for changing the spelling of the group’s name, and he attacks Figgo again. Twilly subdues him once again. Figgo finally begins laying out specific plans for the Precinct 53 operation. Onus is furious that Figgo has made these plans without consulting him. He decides that he needs to take over sole control of the Strokers and the Wee Hammers fund so that he can move forward with buying a compound and solve his own financial problems. When he tries to privately talk Twilly into persuading Figgo to support the compound idea, Twilly tells Onus to stop messing with Figgo. Twilly punctuates his demand by poking a gun into Onus’s ribs.
