"Come on Angel, we could work." Trevor said as he and Angel walked through the dark parking lot.
"Psh, no." Angel scoffed at his proposal.
"Why?"
"Because Trevor, you're not my type."
"What is your type?" Trevor asked stepping in front of Angel and cutting her off.
"Not you." Angel said walking around him to her car.
"Would you at least think about it?" Trevor asked leaning against the door, barring her entry.
"Hm…no."
"Come on sweetness." Trevor said snatching her keys and stepping away from the car.
"What part of no are you not grasping?"
"Why don't you like me?"
"Because, your reputation precedes you."
"Haha, harsh, but true."
"Now if you would be so kind as to give me back my keys." Angel said holding out her hand. Trevor took Angel's hand and smiled mischievously. Angel shot him a look of sheer disgust and quickly slipped her hand out of his grasp. Trevor stepped closer to her and placed his hands on Angel's hips and she pushed him off.
"Pig." Angel spat.
"Whore." Trevor replied.
"I'M the whore? Then I guess that would make you a man whore." Angel said turning her back to him and walking away. Trevor grabbed her arm and turned her around.
"Let me go." Angel said almost growling.
"Don't turn your back on me."
"Back off of me."
"Why would I want to do that?" Trevor asked stepping closer.
"Oh I don't know, maybe to avoid this." Angel said landing a right hook to his eye. Angel grabbed her keys from him and headed for her car only to be grabbed again by Trevor before he backhanded her.
"That was not wise." Trevor said menacingly.
"No, you are the foolish one." Angel said giving him a left hook. Trevor slapped her and Angel threw another punch but this time he caught it and twisted her arm behind her back.
"You just don't get it that I would die before dating you are you?" Angel asked.
"I know you think that our personalities don't match, but believe me there are things that could fit."
"You smelly lump of lard." Angel said in disgust trying to throw him off of her. Trevor brought up his free arm and began choking Angel only to have her elbow him in the gut. She broke free of his grasp and landed another blow to his head. Trevor punched Angel in the stomach and threw an uppercut to her jaw. In retaliation, Angel kicked Trevor, but he caught her leg. Angel threw a punch at him and he caught that as well before pushing her to the ground.
"You filthy little flea bag." Angel said squirming to get free.
"We can do this with you conscious or I can give you something to loosen you up." Trevor sneered.
"Go to Hell!" Trevor had Angel firmly pinned and forcefully kissed her. She brought up her knee and threw it into Trevor's ribs. Trevor lost his grip on her wrist and Angel punched him in the groin, sending him to the ground doubled over in pain. Taking that opportunity, she made a mad dash for her car, clambered in and hastily locked the doors. She hurried home and spent the night awake with the light on since her dad worked the night shift and her sister was at a friend's house. Unfortunately, Trevor's father had deep pockets and his attorney made a case against Angel. Even more absurd, the judge sided with Trevor and Angel was given the choice between prison or an all girls work ranch. Angel chose the ranch and sat in her jail cell before she was shipped out.
"How long?" Angel's sister Valerie asked her.
"Depends on my behavior." Angel said on the verge of tears.
"That's so fake. Why would you even attack Trevor?"
"I didn't, the bum attacked me!"
"I know I'm just trying to figure out how that idiot judge took that story over the truth."
"Because Val, Trevor's dad paid the idiot off."
"You're going to get more split ends." Val said as Angel twirled her long black hair around her finger.
"I do it when I get nervous, you should know this by now."
"At least you're just 17 and they couldn't try you as an adult."
"Yeah, I suppose I should be grateful for that."
"So do you get visitors?"
"It's a work ranch, Val. I doubt it." Angel saw her little sister's honey colored eyes begin to water. "Don't cry Val."
"I know I didn't mean to get all girlie on ya." Val smirked wiping the tears away.
"I'm gonna miss you." Angel said her own hazel eyes filling with tears.
"Uhm, Dad wanted to come in, but I think it would be too much for him to see you go…after mom."
"Yeah, take care of him Val." Angel said, hoping that this wouldn't send him over the edge after the death of her mother.
"I'll take care of things." Val said with a vengeful look in her eye.
"No, take care of dad, I'll be fine."
"Okay sis."
"I love you, you know that right?" Angel asked.
"Yeah I know. You know what?"
"What?"
"Next time I see you, I'll be an inch taller."
"I doubt that."
"Or at least an inch taller than I am now, which would put us at the same height."
"You know, most girls stop growing at age 16. So you may just be stuck at 5' 3" forever." Angel teased.
"I'm still growing." Val argued.
"So am I."
"Time's up!" The guard called.
"You gotta go now." Angel told Val.
"So it would appear."
"Remember, take care of Dad!"
"Daddy will be okay. You watch yourself."
"I intend to."
"Love you Angel."
"Love you too Val."
"I guess we'll write letters."
"Yeah, and maybe I can call you."
"VISITING TIME IS OVER!!!!" The guard yelled.
"Bye Val." Angel said not wanting to be left alone.
"Bye Angel." Val said reluctantly leaving her sister. Val went out to the car where her father waited and got inside.
"I got kicked out." Val said twirling her long brown hair as she scolded her sister for doing.
"Is she okay, all things considered?" Their dad asked.
"Yeah." Val said looking out the window before muttering, "Trevor won't be okay for long."
Angel was woken at 5 am the next day and ushered onto a bus that after several hours stopped at another prison. Angel was then transferred onto a different bus and noticed she was the only girl among the three other passengers. A tall boy had an eye patch covering his left eye and answered when the guard called the name "Parker". Another boy on the bus was what some would call man-pretty; this one went by the name "Meyers". The last boy had a mischievous glint in his eye and answered to "Higgins." It was only when the guard called "Thompson" that she realized that he was calling out last names. After the roster had been checked the bus crept forward and did not stop for nine hours. Night had fallen when the bus pulled to a stop and the four youth were escorted outside. The air was crisp and cool and Angel realized that they were in the middle of nowhere as she looked around.
"All right, closest town from here is New Florence, you will never see it, because this is where you carry out your sentence." The guard said.
"Uh, I think there's been a mistake, I'm supposed to be at an all girls work ranch." Angel interrupted.
"Me too." The one called Higgins smirked.
"Racetrack, shut up." The one with the eye patch said elbowing him in the ribs.
"Ow, Blink, stop."
"Hehe."
"Why is there talking going on?" The guard roared.
"I'm not supposed to be here." Angel continued with her argument.
"That's what they all say." Racetrack joked.
"Race, cheese it." Meyers said.
"You cheese it Mush."
"All of you shut up! You, Thompson, explain." The guard ordered.
"I was supposed to be at an all girls work ranch, these are clearly not girls." Angel said pointing at the three boys.
"Thanks for noticing." Blink smirked.
"Hmm, we'll check it out in the morning. This is the bunk house you are assigned to." The guard said pointing at a long building.
"You want me, to stay in there, with them?!" Angel asked shocked and not in any mood to deal with stupid boys at the moment.
"Not only do I want you to, you WILL, and there will be no trouble, now move!"
"Ack." Angel muttered.
"Home sweet home." Mush muttered as they walked toward the building.
"For the love of all that is holy, no." Angel whimpered. The four entered into the building and saw several rows of beds and dressers with no other furniture. There were two occupied beds while the rest were empty.
"Heya Bumlets, looks like we'se got company." A voice said from the bed in the corner.
"Neh, what?" The one called Bumlets asked stirring from his sleep.
"We'se got company."
"Really?" Bumlets asked sitting up.
"Yep, and it looks like we'se gotta goil heah." The first boy smirked.
"Well then." Bumlets said getting out of bed shirtless. "Welcome to Hell in the country. I am Bumlets the New Yorker is Spot."
"Yo." Spot said.
"Sup?" Mush nodded.
"The name's Blink." Blink said putting his stuff down on a bed.
"I can see why." Bumlets smirked.
"I am Racetrack, I prefer Race." Race said claiming his bed.
"And who is dis lovely piece a heaven?" Spot asked nodding to Angel. The three boys shrugged their shoulders in response.
"Last name's Thompson." Mush said plopping down on an empty bed.
"So Thompson, do you have a first name you'd like to be called?" Bumlets asked.
"Angelica." Angel muttered pulling her sweatshirt around her to hide her from their scrutiny. The boys talked a bit and soon silence was heard after they fell asleep. A loud buzzer blaring at 6 am woke them up.
"Rise and Shine little bums!" the guard called before leaving.
"Negh, too early." Angel muttered.
"I hate dis place." Spot said rolling out of bed. Angel dressed under her covers and was surprised at how openly the boys changed in front of each other. They lined up outside where roll call was taken and Angel tried to remind the guard she didn't belong there but she got assigned to mucking out horse stalls. At 8 am there was a 45-minute breakfast break where Angel tasted some of the most disgusting food she had ever eaten. She found a cabin with a sign that said "Office" on it and went inside.
"What are you doing?" A guard asked looking up from his paper work.
"I was sentenced to an all girls work ranch. This is clearly not it." Angel said.
"Yeah, there was definitely a mix up." The guard said shuffling through his paper work.
"So, you mean I can go where I belong." Angel asked hopefully.
"Well, first we need to see which ranch you were supposed to go to and see why you didn't make it there." The guard said turning to his computer for help.
"Ah, one of the girls ranches closed so the other filled up. And some genius filed your name as Angelo, which is how you ended up here."
"So I'm stuck here."
"Well, even if they had gotten your name right, there's no room left at the girls camp so yeah, you're staying."
"Great, I almost get raped and get sent to a boys ranch. Why me?" Angel muttered as she left. Angel saw other boys at the camp, but since they were not her bunkmates, she didn't bother to get to know their names. She found a little bit of peace when she was grooming the horses, before having to muck out more stalls. When their lunch break came at noon, Angel was glad to eat the disgusting food. The workload lightened up after lunch and Angel wandered the ranch grounds a little bit. Many foothills dotted the horizon. Had she been there under different circumstances, Angel would have found the ranch appealing. After dinner roll call was taken again and the workday was officially over.
"Congratulations, you survived your first day." Bumlets smirked.
"Barely." Angel replied, still wary of any of the male gender.
"You might want to get into the first aid kit for your hands."
"Okay, they do kinda hurt."
"Yeah, blisters tend to have that effect."
"Mm-hm."
"Okay." Bumlets said walking away. Angel went into their bunkhouse and found a bathroom at one end of the building with a first aid kit. Angel treated her hands and crawled into her bed to escape the world around her and fell asleep.
Val went home that night and went to her now empty room. Angel was gone and it was all because of that sleaze Trevor. Val tried to sleep but kept picturing Angel's face behind the prison bars and her father's look of despair as they had left the prison. The next day Val's dad had left her note saying he needed to get a breather and Val knew he had gone up to the lake so he could think. Most people would have been wanting company in the situation at hand but Val liked being alone to unwind and her dad knew this. Val cranked up the stereo and tried to relax but found herself hating Trevor and his stupid dad more with every breath she took. Val drove Angels' car around for hours trying to imagine what her sister would do in jail. Val spent the day driving around and didn't think to put gas in the car. She ran out near evening and Val locked the doors and began walking home. She was walked to the nearest gas station and bought a container of gas to walk back to the car. She saw a group of people come in the front door so Val went to the backdoor that few people new about. She walked out the door and had taken a few steps when she heard a voice.
"Hey Val, how's it goin?" Trevor asked and Val turned to see him leaning against the wall smoking.
"How's it goin? My sister is in jail you scuz." Val hissed as Trevor put his cigarette out and walked over to her.
"She brought it on herself."
"Like Hell she did." Val said tightening her grip on the gas can.
"Man, I thought your sister was beautiful, but you." He smiled as he touched her chin. Val snapped and bashed him in the head with the gas can. Trevor snaked out his arm and grabbed the wrist holding the can and twisted it forcing Val to drop it. He grabbed her other arm and pressed himself against her. Val head bunted him and pulled away. Trevor shook his head and came at her with a backhand to her face. Val's head whipped to the side from the force of it and she threw a jab into his face.
"You girls just don't learn." Trevor smiled before punching her in the stomach. Val doubled over from the pain for a moment before she upper cut him in the jaw. Trevor grabbed her throat and began choking her while blocking the punches she launched at him. Trevor threw her down and pinned her.
"I'll give you the same offer I did your sister. We can do it with you conscious or unconscious." Trevor said firmly holding Val down as she squirmed around. Val realized she couldn't escape and began screaming as loud as she could.
"HELP!!!" Val screamed. "Get off, HELP!"
"Shut up!" Trevor said slapping her and covering her mouth with his hand. Val punched him in the face and he took his arm off her mouth and planted his forearm to her throat choking her again. He bent down and kissed her greedily. Trevor wanted to see how much fight she had so he got off of her and Val rose to her feet. The two circled a moment.
"You have more fight than your sister I'll gave ya that." Trevor smirked after Val landed a left hook to his eye.
"Don't talk about my sister you prick." Val said swinging at him again and he side stepped out of the way.
"Your sister was a whore." Trevor taunted.
"She is not." Val said angrily.
"Yeah she is." He said before he kicked her in the side. Val took the blow and rushed him with a series of punches, most of which were blocked.
"You are the whore." Val said after landing a hard right hook to his head.
"I'm respected for what I do." Trevor said backing Val backwards.
"Only by your little boozy friends." Val said kicking him in the chin and throwing a punch which he caught.
"Easy doll face." Trevor said smiling. Val fought against his grip and he threw her into a wall and pushed against her in an attempt to pin her. Val broke her wrist free of his hold and pounded his head a couple times before he grabbed and twisted it forcing Val to turn her body. The two were enter locking the others arms and Trevor tossed Val to the ground. She leapt to her feet as he eyed her and the two started at it again. Val landed a jab to his face and Trevor kicked her in the knee causing her to fall partly.
"Come one baby, don't fight it." Trevor smiled and Val swung at him and he twisted her arm and through her down. He planted his foot in her stomach and pressed down sending pain through her body.
"Are you gonna cooperate now, are you calm? Or do you still have fight in you." Trevor pondered as he slowly knelt down over her. Val could no longer keep her bluff of calmness and swung at his face and he dodged it at the last second. Trevor kicked her in the side and pounced on her before pinning her. Val tried breaking free of his grip but could not move and Trevor took advantage and kissed her again. Val spit at him and he punched her in the nose causing it to trickle blood. Val lunged forward and tried knocking him off but his weight pushed her down. Trevor twisted her arm and pinned it with his hip when he rolled on it bringing their faces only a few inches apart. Val felt fear shoot through her as she looked in his eyes and pulled her head away from him craning her neck. He shot his free arm out and cupped the back of head while drawing her close to him. Val kicked at his groin and he put his leg over hers. He kissed her again and when he pulled back Val head bunted him and pushed him off her. She threw herself over his waist and pinned his wrist down.
"Girls just can't stay off me." Trevor smiled at Val who was laying across him.
"They go near you in hopes of killing you." Val said. "Now, recant your false statement and I won't kill you." Val said with an iciness in her eyes.
"Oh, sure, how about you do as I want and I won't send you to jail." Trevor smirked.
"What are the chances anyone will believe you got attacked in a parking lot two days in a a row."
"I material judge and planted evidence will do the trick."
"What evidence?"
"If you don't be good you'll find out." Trevor smiled before kneeing Val in the side and pinning her down. "What do you think?"
"Go to Hell." Val spat.
"You first wench." Trevor jeered. "I will see you later my pet." Trevor said running his finger along Val's lips before standing up and walking away. Shacking from what happened Val grabbed the gas can and ran to Angel's car, filled it up and drove home where she locked the doors. Her dad came home the next day and she told him what happened. Once again Trevor's dad got the lying attorney and made up a case against Val that got her a guilty sentence. Val felt horrible for leaving her dad after all that had happened and wondered if she'd be placed with Angel at the work ranch. When it came to the punishment phase of her trial, the judge offered her the same option he had offered Angel and she took the ranch over serving years in jail. She was woken at 5 am and boarded a bus that took her to a stop where she boarded another bus with three other boys. The guard who was on the bus started calling roll. There was a boy with dark curly hair and blue eyes that answered to "Jacobs". Another boy had dark brown hair that fell across his forehead that was called "Goorjian" after the guard butchered it. The last boy had sandy brown hair and was glaring out the window when he answered to the name "Kelly". The guard called out "Thompson" and Val answered. The bus embarked on a non-stop nine-hour drive until night fell and the bus jerked to a stop. The four climbed off the bus and the cool air woke Val up.
"All right this is where you will serve your sentence, that is your bunk house, do as you are told." The guard ordered.
"Um, sir, guard, man, I don't think I'm supposed to be here." Val spoke up.
"Yeah, yeah, everybody who gets sent here says that." The guard replied.
"And was everybody sent here supposed to be at an all-girls ranch?"
"Just pipe down and get in the bunk house." The guard ordered.
Val was getting ready to talk back when the guard turned his back and walked away.
"Ass" Val muttered as the four of them headed for the bunkhouse.
"That attitude isn't going to help you here." The one called Jacobs advised.
"Davie, shut it." Goorjian told the curly headed kid.
"Skits, now ain't da time ta get in a fight." Kelly told the Goorjian kid.
"Well, I don't know bout hah, but I don't wanna heah preachin five minutes off a da flippin bus, Jack!" Skits told the Kelly guy.
"It's not preaching Skittery, it's common sense." David replied.
"From ya, it's preachin!" Skittery told David. Val opened the door and walked in to see some beds empty and the others occupied.
"Well whaddaya know, we'se got moh visitahs Bumlets." A voice said from the corner.
"Neh, this is déjà vu." Bumlets answered.
"Race, turn the lights on for them." Mush said from his bed.
"Yes sir." Race said sarcastically as he flipped the lights on. Race looked over the group and did a double take at Val, who was shorter than the row of boys behind her.
"Hey fellas, we'se got us anuddah goil." The voice from the corner said.
"Wow." Mush smirked looking at Val who flipped him off.
"She seems feisty." Bumlets said not moving from his bed.
"Okay, so for all of you new ones, here's the run down of this bunk house." Blink said. "I'm Blink, the one standing up is Racetrack, also known as Race, the kid in the back corner is Spot, the one across from him is Bumlets, Mush is right there across from me, and then we have Angel." Blink said listing everyone in the room.
"Ya mean like an Angel?" Skittery asked.
"Angel, wake up." Blink said poking a lump in a bed.
"Narg!" the lump mumbled before sitting up. "What the hell do you want Blink?" Val dropped her bag and it landed heavily on Jack's foot.
"OW!" he yelled.
"Holy Shit, Angel!" Val said jumping on her.
"Val?" Angel asked. "What- how…why are you here?"
"I was framed?"
"You didn't go after Trevor did you?"
"No, he came after me, we got in a fight, and he set me up with planted evidence."
"Jerk."
"Prick."
"Yeah that."
"Uh, Angel, do you want to start the introductions?" Blink asked.
"Oh sorry, this is my sister, Valerie, Val for short."
"Hi!" Bumlets waved.
"Hi…" Val said back.
"He's just overly friendly." Angel told her.
"So who are the newbies?" Race asked.
"Jack Kelly." Jack said, "Also known as Cowboy."
"Da name's Skittery, or Skits." Skittery said.
"David Jacobs." David said throwing his stuff on a bed.
"Ah, well we should go to bed since we all have to wake up early." Bumlets yawned.
"What sort of work?" David asked.
"Was da mattah Davie, don't wanna get ya hands doity?" Skittery mocked since he was still annoyed with David for the attitude lecture.
"Cheese it Skits." Jack said interrupting.
"Aight." Skittery said laying down on his bed.
"Can I sleep with you?" Val asked quietly.
"Of course little sis." Angel said moving to one side of the bed as Val climbed in next to her. The boys drifted off to sleep but Angel and Val talked most the night and awoke with blood shot eyes as the guard yelled for them to get up.
"Have I said I hate it heah?" Spot growled as he got up.
"Yup." Bumlets muttered.
"We do this everyday flippin day?" Mush asked walking to the bathroom.
'That we do." Race said throwing his clothes. Mush was coming out of the bathroom when a tired looking Jack stumbled toward him.
'Hey Jackie boy how did you sleep?" Mush smirked.
"On me back Mush." Jack said sleepily.
"You hear that? I asked Jack how he slept and he said on me back Mush. Ahaha." Mush chuckled as he play punched Jack who play fought back.
"Will someone pass the towel?" Race asked.
"For a buck I might!" Skittery said holding the towel above his head.
"And this is what you have to look forward to everyday Val." Angel told her sister.
"Looking isn't all that bad." Val smirked.
"Which one are you looking at?" Angel asked getting the secret drift.
"Hmmm, I'll tell you when I'm sure."
"I'm sure you will."
"So what all ah we'se expected ta do?" Jack asked.
"Whatever they assign you." Angel answered.
"And is dere a choh list, foh us ta check off da tings we done?"
"Actually there is." Bumlets said.
"Ah, don't wohhy Cowboy, ya just gotta have da right attitude." Skittery taunted.
"It was annoyin when Davie said it, it's even moh annoyin when ya say it." Jack told him.
"Dat's why I said it."
"Well stop sayin it."
"Uh, yeah by the way, if you fight in here, the whole group gets punished." Blink said.
"Yeah and it's not fun." Bumlets said glaring at Spot.
"It was one time ya bum." Spot retorted.
"What is the punishment?" David asked.
"Ya get ta move rocks…lots a rocks." Spot said.
"Yeah and after that, you put them back in the EXACT location that you got them from." Bumlets added.
"Eh, harsh." Angel said.
"Okay, no fighting." Blink said.
They were put to work and after their breakfast, were sent back out to finish their chores. Val had been mucking out horse stalls since she woke up and continued to after breakfast. Mush had back talked to one of the guards so he was told to stack the mound of horse crap as Val wheeled it out in the wheelbarrow. The two had talked a little bit but were still at the cordial stage. Val got a load of crap and was taking it out to Mush when she slipped and fell in a mud puddle.
"Hahaha" Mush laughed.
"Nice Mush." Val jested.
"You okay?" He asked walking over and extending his hand to help her up. Val smiled mischievously and gathered a handful of mud and flung it into Mush's face.
"Nice Val." Mush said straightening his back so he was at his full height of 5'10, which to some was short but to Val who sat on the ground, it was tall. Val smiled up at him and Mush felt a smile spread across his face before bending down and acting like he was going to help her up and instead pushed her in the mud.
"Aieh!" Val squealed as she fell back and tripped Mush so he was in the mud with her. The two jumped to their feet and began a mud ball fight. Mush pegged Val in the shoulder and she found herself giggling like a little school girl when he smiled at her. Val landed a fistful on Mush's gut and she tackled him knocking them both into the mud. Mush and Val began wrestling around and shoving mud in the other's face. Mush saw a guard walking to the barn and leapt to his feet pulling Val up with him.
"You give up?" Val teased.
"Guard.' Mush nodded nervously.
"Crap!" Val said sprinting to the tipped over wheel barrow and pushed it to the pile. Mush hurried over to his post of crap and began shoveling it as he was supposed to. The guard walked over to them and frowned seeing how muddy they were but walked away not wanting to know the details. After Mush was certain the guard was out of hearing range, he laughed and Val felt herself blushing so she went back in the barn so Mush couldn't see it. Angel was in a horse stall and was trying to brush the animal but it kept sidestepping away from her. Angel was growing annoyed and still had a lot to do before her day was over.
"Ya ain't goona get it done dat way." Jack said as he passed by the stall she was in and stopped resting his arms on the top rail of the pen.
"No really and I thought this was the quickest way.' Angel said sarcastically.
"Dat's what it looks like ya thought."
"Bugger off."
"Aight, ya don't need me help right?"
"I can do it by myself thank you."
"Of course ya can." Jack said not believing Angel.
"Look, I was doing just fine before you and your little friend showed up. So just leave me alone." Angel said allowing her annoyance to come out.
"Who ah ya talkin about?"
"The other two that came in with you."
'Skits and Davie, aight. I'll tell dem not ta eveh offah ta help ya."
"Geh! It's not what I meant."
"Den what ah ya sayin?"
"I'm just, not too happy with the male gender right now. Stupid Trevor." Angel muttered.
"Uh, do you wanna…talk about it?" Jack asked unsure of what to do.
"The whole reason I'm here is because of a little twit named Trevor, tried to rape me and then pinned it on me!"
"Scabbah." Jack said under his breath.
"What did you say?"
"Scabbah, it's a toim used ta describe a real looser ya know? Dis Trevor sounds like he fits da mold."
"He made the mode. Stupid man whore."
"I can see ya still bittah bout dat." Jack said taking a step back from the stall.
"I am not a criminal, I shouldn't be here."
"Nah, not foh self defense."
"Yay! Someone finally sees it from my perspective."
"A judge bought dat story?"
"Trevor's dad paid him off."
"Ah."
"As well as his stupid lawyer, then the idiot goes and does the same thing to my sister." Angel growled.
"She feelin da same way as you?"
"I don't know but nobody messes with my family."
"So what ya gonna break out and go get him?"
"if it wasn't a 9 hour drive yeah."
"Dat's cool." Jack smirked.
"What's cool?"
"Dat ya would defend ya family."
"I'm like a dog in that respect."
"Hehe." Jack chuckled.
"Sorry I snapped."
"It's undahstandable, jest go easy on da hoise."
"Couldn't hurt him if I tried."
"Ya like dem?"
"Mh hmm. Always have."
"Aight, I should go." Jack said as a guard walked in from the back of the barn.
"Bye."
"See ya." Jack said walking away. Angel brushed the horse and had moved on to the next one when Val walked by covered in mud.
"Hey Angel." Val said picking at her hand.
"What happened to you?" Angel asked looking at her sister.
"Uh, slipped in the mud."
"You could not have gotten that dirty by slipping in mud, you were flirting with someone weren't you?" Angel said with a raised eyebrow. Val fought down her smile.
"Maybe." Val answered scratching her palm.
"In other words yes."
"Don't mean to throw off your questioning, but I have a sliver."
"Of?"
"Wood, from the pitch fork."
"Ow."
"Thank you captain obvious."
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"Is there some tweezers, oh I have some but I can't get them cause I'm not done."
"I don't have any."
"How am I supposed to pitch sh- poop with a splintered hand?"
"May I suggest very carefully."
"Thank ya." Val smirked walking back to the empty stall where she worked.
"Your welcome!" Angel called. Dinner came and they ate greedily before finishing up the last of the chores and relaxing in the bunkhouse.
"Who is in the bathroom?" Blink asked annoyed.
"Val." Race answered as he shuffled a deck of cards.
"Hurry up!" Blink shouted as he pounded on the door.
"Chill Blink." Val said holding the sliver in her tweezers with pride. "I got it."
"Good for you now move." Blink said brushing aside her and closing the door. Val claimed a bed and starred up at the ceiling.
"How about we play a little game." Race said trying to entertain himself.
"Ya against da guy who's in heah foh gamblin." Skittery said rolling his eyes.
"Whad's in da pot?" Spot smirked.
"Not decided, what do you got?" Race asked as Spot sat on the floor next to him.
"Infohmation."
"What am I going to do with that?" Race asked.
"If ya win, ya use it."
"What information?" David asked sitting up in bed.
"I don't tell unless ya playin." Spot said and David joined the game.
"Who else? Angel?" Race called.
"No I suck at poker." Angel said.
"Mush Jack anybody?"
"I'm in." Jack said rolling off his bed. Mush looked at Skittery and the two jumped in the game. Blink came out along with a peculiar smell.
"Blink, spray something!" Bumlets said covering his head under the covers.
"I didn't choose the food that was served." Blink said plopping on his bed.
"No, but you didn't have to eat it." David said waving the air in front of his face before Blink threw a pillow at him and David caught it.
"Aight we ready, Val want in?" Spot asked. Val looked up and shook her head. "Goils."
"What about them?" Angel asked with a challenge in her voice.
"I just obsoived dat the two goils ain't playin."
"Maybe we just don't like playing."
"Maybe, maybe not."
"What of it?" Val asked joining forces with her sister.
"Nuttin." Spot said.
"Wahtev." Angel said.
"Okay lets get this going." Race said as he dealt the hands. They played several rounds before Spot lost and had to tell what he knew.
"Aight, da ting at know heah is da guards. Ya see each one well let ya get away wid a different ting, and odduahs ah real sticklahs bout some tings. I know which ones ah which." Spot explained as he ran through the list of what things one could get away with when around a certain guard. It was 3am when the lights went out in the cabin and they all regretted it when the buzzard went off waking them at 6am.
"GAH!" Race said covering his ears.
"Rise and shine." Angel said as she got up.
"I'se don't recall ya bein a moinin poison." Spot said as he went toward the bathroom.
"I'm not." Angel replied as Spot closed the door. The cabin began to wake but Jack still slept.
"Cowboy, hey Cowboy wake up." Bumlets said shaking him.
"Ya crazy bum." Jack muttered.
"Come on wake up!"
"No!" Jack said rolling on his side so his back was to Bumlets. Bumlets gave Jack a wet willy and ran out the door before Jack could hit him.
"Huh." Mush observed.
"Heheh." Angel giggled.
"Dat ain't da way foh a poison ta wake." Jack grumbled as he climbed out of bed.
"You're not a morning person either?"
"Nevah."
"Better learn to be." Angel said and Jack peered at her through squinty eyes before going to the bathroom.
"Ew." Val said picking up her mud caked boot.
"That's what you get for wrestling in the mud." Angel said stating the obvious.
"Whad bout mud wrestling?" Spot smirked poking his head out of the bathroom door.
"You have very selective hearing you know that?" Angel said and Spot disappeared behind the door.
"I wasn't wrestling." Val said tugging her boot on.
"Then what were you doing? Mud flirting."
"Ha ha, so funny. And no."
"Well then care to explain." Angel said and Val smirked as she finished tying her laces.
"Nope." Val said walking out the door.
"Such a dork." Angel mumbled. Mush smirked and walked out to go do his chores.
