Bullies (Urban Hunters #5)

By Gary Taaffe

BULLIES (book 5)

The son of the mongrel old man who Billy speared wants revenge. Billy could lose the pups. A bloody battle ensues but Diesel doesn’t count on Amber; or Larry, Curly and Moe for that matter. Billy leaves Turbo and Amber gobsmacked with a lesson in respect for Diesel. And with a little help from a hobo, Amber shows Billy how street kids hunt pigeons for brunch.

“Mad writing skills you’ve got :)” Jessica B, USA

“So many good characters in this book. You just have to wonder what Billy will get up to next.” Ann C, UK

“Another brilliant adventure from Billy. The fight is fantastic. Loved it. Making his first phone call - hilarious! Great storytelling.” Jack S, Australia

URBAN HUNTERS is laugh–out–loud, gut–churning, heart–wrenching storytelling at its best. Unlike anything you’ve ever read, in typical Taaffe fashion. Hilarious as usual. Always surprising. Wonderful!

Rooster Tales

All set? Turbo asked his best mate Diesel. They’d been inseparable ever since building a beauty racetrack for their toy trucks in the sandpit at Kindy.

All set, Diesel replied while hauling his hulk into the cab of Turbo’s truck. The clubhouse is all locked up and the ute’s chained down in the back.

Diesel was a massively muscled man and unusually tall. The type of big bald man you had to stop and take in for a moment, before realising that your jaw had dropped open. He was a happy guy, playful even, which was scary because he liked to jostle you around a bit, to rough you up the way your uncle might rustle your hair and give you a playful shove. Turbo loved it. A fight with Diesel was a normal part of his everyday life. As normal as two little boys wrestling in the sandpit and then traipsing sand through the house in search of a cold drink. Although as men, big men, it was an awesome spectacle.

"Dad isn’t gonna believe it when he sees it," Diesel said excitedly.

I know, he still thinks he’s gonna have to rebuild the ute all over again after rolling it.

How cool is everyone in the club, pulling an all–nighter to help us rebuild it for him? That’s family, Turbo!

Can’t believe we got it finished!

Diesel checked the clock in the truck — 10:37am.

Loads of time. We’ll park the ute out the front of the house and then pick him up from hospital at two, home by three for the big surprise.
