Chapter 1
Joey walked down the musty street. He was always nervous when he took this way home. He had never gone down this street without witnessing some sort of crime or violence. Grafitti was scribbled all over the walls of the buildings. It was surprising that people still lived here.
He pulled his jacket tighter around him and turned the corner. A police car drove by,siren blaring. On the other side of the street were a few boys smoking pot. A woman in a skintight leather dress and fishnet stockings was leaning against the wall flirting with boys who passed by.
Suddenly,a shrill scream pierced the air.
"AIEEEEEE! HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"
Joey ran toward the screams as fast as he could. He had seen enough violence,it was time he did something about it.
He traced the screams to a deserted alley nearby. He could hear struggling. There were two voices,a girl's and a man's.
"Let go of me! Stop it! Somebody help!"
"Shut up,bitch!"there was a slapping sound and the girl screamed again. Joey whipped around the corner,and saw the repulsing sight. The struggling girl was on the ground against the wall. He couldn't see her face from where he was standing. The man was on top of her,and she was trying to push him away. Joey turned red with fury.
"Hey you!"He yelled. The guy looked up.
"Whaddya you want,punk?"he yelled,"Can't you see I'm a little busy?"
"What da hell do you think you're doin'?"
"Since when's it any of you're buisness?"
"You leave dat girl alone,you bastard!"
"You're askin' for a headache,kid!"the girl yelped as the guy threw her down and stood up to face his opponent.
The guy punched Joey in the stomach. He doubled over briefly,but got up and gave him an uppercut to the chin. The guy fell back.
The rest of the fight went by so fast it seemed as though it was over almost as quickly as it started. Soon the guy was on the ground,battered and bruised,while Joey only had a small black eye.
Joey turned,and for the first time got a good look at the girl,who was on the ground,shaking violently. She looked no older then fourteen. Under the brown curly hair that was all over her face,he saw a red mark on her cheek where the attacker had slapped her. Her light blue shirt had the top buttons opened,revieling cleavage,and her flowery skirt had been raised above her knees.
"Are you all right,miss?"he asked as he reached his hand out.
"I am now. Thank you."she replied as she took his hand gingerly and he helped her up. Her voice sounded a little hoarse. It must have been from screaming so much. As she rose to her feet,Joey caught a glimps of something gold on her shirt.
"This is a pretty dangerous street."Joey said,"You have to be really careful to walk through here."
"I didn't know."she answered as she slowly re-buttoned her shirt,"I just moved to this city today,and I don't know anything about this place."
"Where do you live? I could help you get home."
"Could you?"
"Sure. Looks like you could use it,'specially afta what just happened."
"Thank you. What's your name?"
"I'm Joey Wheelar. You?"
"My name is Margaret. Margaret Hogan."
