The World Pizza Parlor was famous for its pizza. People would come from all over the USA just to try a slice. The shop was run by an old man and his crew teenage waiters. Usually the place was crowed with people, but strangely enough, not tonight.
"Ok," Emma announced. Her voice echoed in the empty restaurant. "I'm officially bored. You all haven't had a customer in hours!"
"Look Emma we really don't care how bored you are," Itey snapped. "You can just get a cab and go home." Itey was Emma's older brother and to his distaste their mother made Itey bring his little sister to work.
"Oh, yeah right! I'm not crazy! Those evil Feet people are back again and I don't wanna get mugged!" Emma shouted glaring at her older brother.
"It's Foot," Jack replied not looking up from the newspaper he was reading.
"Yeah whatever," Emma muttered. Not that Emma minded hanging out at the pizza place with tons of hot guys, but they were her brother's friends and Emma would much rather be with her own.
The sky was dark outside but Manhattan wasn't. The city was glowing bright and jumping with activity. The bell over the door opened and everyone looked up in hopes of a customer.
"Who just came in?" Kloppman shouted from where he was teaching Racetrack, Mush and Kid Blink how to make a perfect pizza.
"It's just Skittery!" Jack said.
Skittery fell down into a seat and rubbed his hands over his face.
"Hey Skitts what's up with you?" Emma asked as she looked at the distressed seventeen year old.
"I got jumped on my way over here, stupid bastards stole my wallet," Skittery said his voice muffled by his hands. Jack looked up from his paper in interest. He was about to ask Skittery something when the phone rang.
"I got it!" Yelled someone from the back, in a matter of seconds Swifty had run out of the kitchen and answered the phone.
"Ok…uh huh…no little fish things…and pick up or delivery...Ok delivery. And where do you live?" Swifty jotted the order down on a pad of paper but then stopped writing. A confused look crossed the Asian boy's features and he arched his eyebrows.
"You live where?...Ummm ok got it. It'll be ready in about ten minutes." Swifty shook his head a little bit as he hung up the phone. "Ok Mr. K! Got an order for you'se!"
"Great! Who wants to drop it off?" Most of the boys shouted out. Usually no one liked to drop off orders, but then again usually they weren't this bored at work.
"Ok, ok, you can all go. Take the van. I'll go ahead and close up early since it doesn't look like we'll have any more business."
Fifteen minutes later Emma found herself stuck in a van full of rowdy teenage boys. She had landed herself in the front seat next to her brother. Emma looked up to Itey. He was only about a year older than her but she still thought he could do almost anything. At sixteen Emma knew her brother really couldn't do anything, but sometimes it felt like her could.
"Ok Swifty," Itey said as he buckled himself into the driver's seat. He and Jack had had a heated argument over who got to drive the van. They had finally decided by the age old method of paper, rocks, scissors. "Where are we going?"
"Ummm Fulton street. The number is 122 and a 1/8." Everyone in the car stopped moving and looked at Swifty. Swifty looked up from the slip of paper in his hand and looked at everyone staring at him. "That's what I said! But yeah! 122 and a 1/8!"
Itey shrugged and put the van in gear. About five minutes later the van stopped and everyone piled out of it. They all looked around for the street address of 122 and a 1/8.
"It's not here!" Dutchey exclaimed. "There's no such place."
"Sure there is," Came a voice from the sewer. "You're standing on it."
Dutchey looked down. He was standing on an iron grating that lead down to the sewers of the city.
"You've got to be kidding me," Jack said as he stood next to Dutchey who was holding the pizza. Then a twenty dollar bill poked out from in between the bars.
"Just slip it down here dude."
Dutchey looked over at Jack and they shrugged their shoulders. Dutchey slipped the pizza between the bars and took the money.
"Hey man it was only ten bucks," Race said as he joined Jack and Dutchey.
"Anybody got a ten?" Jack asked. The boys began to dig through their pockets but had no such luck.
"Hey…where's Emma?" Itey asked, noticing for the first time that his sister was missing. All of a sudden a loud scream pierced the air, and it came from the sewer.
