Thank you Prettypinkcrane for the review!

Here's the next one...

"Here you go, a chocolate frappuccino."

Young Joe Darley grinned at the girl standing across the counter before taking his drink and making his way out.

"Yo Joe, what you got there?" Baggy asked as the young man got back in the car, where he and Heco were waiting for him. Joe wasn't part of the gang, but they took him along for a ride sometimes, while Billy and the others took care of something else or just lazed around.

"Chocolate frappuccino." He answered, sucking at the straw enthusiastically.

"Chocolate what? Dude, that's so fucking gay!" Heco laughed.

"Try yourself asshole." Joe handed him the drink so he could taste it.

"Damn. It is good."

"Told you so. And the girl in there is hot."

"Aw baby Darley checkin' out the chicks!" Baggy mocked.

"I don't check out chicks, I fuck them!"

Both man laughed, but only Heco answered. "Whatever kiddo."

Joe hated when they called him kiddo. He was already 19 for God's sake!

"Joe, what the fuck is that?" Bodie asked as he saw his friends come into the Four Roses, where the rest of the gang had united.

Joe sighed but Heco answered. "Chocolate Frepucino."

"Frappuccino, dumb ass." Joe corrected with a snort.

"When ya gonna learn how to be a man, young brother? You gotta drink whisky and beer, not chocolate something!"

"It is good Billy." Heco defended Joe.

"You bought one too?" Billy chuckled.

"Here." Joe placed his drink in front of his big brother with a daring look and a mischievous grin. "Try yourself."

Billy glared at his baby brother. He wasn't in a position that allowed people to dare him, especially a brat like Joe. Running his eyes across the table, he noticed his fellas' eyes on him. After a shrug, he took the drink.

"What the fuck…" Everyone waited for the leader's response. "It's good." Laughter echoed around the dark corner before they started discussing their business and told Joe to get lost.

"That one gave us a little trouble." Spink bitched, cleaning his bloodied fingers. They had just collected a good amount of money.

"Nothing we haven't handled before." Billy answered while driving. "Hey, where'd Joe buy that thing?"

"What thing?" Bodie asked.

"That chocolate freakin' thing."

"Ah! The Frepocino?"

Spink laughed. "It's Frepucino dumb ass."

"Whatever." Billy said before Bodie could reply. "Where?"

"Don't know." Spink answered and Billy looked at Bodie, who shook his head meaning he didn't know either.

"Call Joe and ask."

The three gang members walked in to the Falcon. The place was somewhat busy, but not overly crowded. There were three girls working, two serving and one behind the counter. That last one caught Billy's eye, it was the girl from the hospital, the one with the bad attitude. He turned to Bodie.

"What's the name of the thing again?"

"Joe said it's actually Fra- no, hmm… it's really Frepucino." Joe actually never said that on the phone, he had simply given them directions. Billy nodded and walked towards the counter.

"What can I get you?" Julie looked up and her eyes met gray-ish green ones. She then noticed the facial hair, baldness and heavy leather jacket, leaving only his tattooed neck to be seen. It was the spooky jerk from the hospital. She hid her surprise and patiently waited for him to answer.

Billy grinned. "Remember me?"

She frowned and lied. "Not really…" That got Billy angry, as he was sure she remembered him. Even so, the little silver plaque on her purple apron caught his eye, Julie. "So, what can I get you?"

"A chocolate Frepucino." He answered with a cold voice before Julie laughed amused.

"Sorry." She placed her hand in front of her mouth before turning to get his order.

"What?" Her attitude really pissed him off.

"It's actually Frappuccino." She answered without turning to face him.

He sighed. "How much is it?"

"Four dollars." She placed it in front of him.

Billy took a ten dollar bill from his pocket and tossed it at her. "Keep the change." There was his payback, he owed her nothing anymore.

He already pushed the door open, when Julie grabbed the change and came after him.

"Hey!" She called, he and his friends turned just as they were about to get in the black Mustang with red tribal drawings, that remarkably reminded her of his tattoos. Billy sucked at the drink, but managed to grin a little as he saw the girl walking towards him. She pressed her hand against his chest, he did the same just a fraction of a second after she took it off, the money fell on his hand. "You forgot your change." She said and started to walk away.

"I told you, you could keep it." He insisted.

"And I told you, you owe me nothing." She glared at him before getting back inside.

So she did remember him. He turned to his gang members. "Find out everything about her."

"Remember me, eh?"

"Shut up Ally." Julie snapped as her co-worker and friend mocked of her.

"Who's he? Never thought you'd go for the tattooed type." Julie glared, which didn't keep Allison from continuing. "Ah! I know, I know… You were drunk, weren't you?"

"No, Ally."

"High, maybe?" The girl insisted with an amused smile and Julie got fed up.

"Go do your work! Table five wants blueberry muffins."

"Ya know, he's hot." Kristin, the other co-worker and friend stated as she placed the tray on the counter to fill it with other glasses.

"Hot? God, he's spooky!"

"Seriously, where and when did you meet?"

Julie sighed. "Last night. I went to the hospital to deliver the coffee and I bumped into him, he was bleeding and I quickly got Mark to see him. That's it."

"Mark, huh?" Kristin chuckled and Allison laughed.

"Fuck you both." Julie whispered so the costumers wouldn't hear it.

They all got back to work. Julie wondered who that guy was, but forgot about it as she had three orders to finish.

"Is that all the fucking money?" Bones Darley crankily asked his son. Billy stood in front of his father's table. A suffocating place inside of the body shop, he hoped to just deliver the money and get out, but his father had to make him feel like trash again.

"Yes." Billy answered as he took a deep breath and leaned his head back.

"You better not be fucking stealing from me!" He spit before tossing Billy's backpack back to him. "Now get the fuck out of here." He didn't have to ask twice.

God, that man was such a jerk. Long had he stopped calling Bones his father. Billy drove directly to his apartment, not too far from there. It was a small one-bedroom apartment, dark red walls, actually the painting was already revealing what was underneath, but he didn't care, he only needed the absolute minimum for a man to live.

Billy's gang was well known by the neighborhood and by the police. The only reason they hadn't been caught yet, was that the cops could never gather enough evidence. Every member had been in prison before, amazingly, except for Billy himself, they knew how to cover their steps so everybody knew it had been them, but no one could prove it.

"Billy!" Baggy called from outside. Billy laid on the couch, he was always pissed off after meeting up with Bones.

"What?"

"Got ya some news." Baggy came in, followed by Bodie.

"Get out. Not in the mood."

"But you're gonna like this."

Billy sighed and sat up. "What?"

"I've got information about that girl from the Falcon." He had Billy's attention right there, as he motioned with his head so Baggy would keep talking. "Turns out that my sister hangs out with her and her co-workers sometimes. Her name is Julie Lane, recently turned twenty one. Her father is an old general and never around. Her mother died when she was still a kid. She's lived in the apartment upstairs the coffee shop for about a year now. Her former boyfriend left her two months ago, since then she had a thing with a guy but it didn't work out. Then the boyfriend came back, it didn't last more than a week. And that's pretty much it."

Billy had a big grin on his face.

Julie stretched her body on the bed and yawned, she loved her days off. People were working their asses off downstairs and she was still lazily lying there. After a couple of minutes, she finally decided to get up. She dressed up in jeans, black boots, yellow blouse with her favorite purple leather jacket covering it. After tying half of her hair up, she headed outside. She walked around the streets while eating a green apple. Those walks really had a refreshing effect on her. After a while, Julie noticed she had been walking for some time and had no idea where she was. The neighborhood didn't have a familiar feel to it.

"Calm yourself down." She said to herself, took a deep breath and looked around. A relieved smile popped out on her face, this was Ashley's area. She flipped her cell phone open.

"Hello?"

"Ashley, hi! It's Julie, how are you?

"Hey! I'm fine what about ya?"

"Good. Hey, I went for a walk and kind of got lost." She laughed embarrassed as the other girl laughed amused. "I think I'm around your place."

"Describe where you are."

"Well, I'm pretty much in front of an appartment complex or whatever, with red and gray walls."

"Ha! That's easy! Go down the road, turn right on the first traffic light and then you'll see the Four Roses bar on the corner. That's where I am. It's early so it ain't crowded. Come here so we can chat for a while."

"Fine, thanks! I'll be there in a sec." Julie followed the directions and got to what she assumed to be the right place. "Creepy." Not that she hadn't been in places like that before, where it seemed to always have smoke floating around.

"Hey!" Ashley waved and Julie made her way towards her.

"Hi there! Just now I noticed I've never really knew where you worked."

"Welcome to the Four Roses then." Ashley opened her arms with a smile. "So…" She chuckled. "Someone has been asking about you."

"About me? Who?"

"Ha! Can't tell ya."

"Excuse me? You expect me to just accept that fact without asking more about it?"

"Yeah, I kind of forgot about your damn curiosity. Alright, I'll tell ya. You probably don't know the name." Ashley got closer to Julie's ear. "His name is Billy Darley."

"Darley?"

"Psss! My brother made me promise I'd say nothing. You know, they're in the same gang."

"Gang?" Julie chuckled. "That's just great, a gang member has been asking for me." She shook her head in disapproval.

"He's hot, you know."

"No, I don't. I don't know who he is."

"But he knows who you are."

"And that makes me feel so much better!"

"Stick around 'til lunch time and you'll know who he is. They always come here around that time, and come back in later in the evening. Let's see if Julie Lane is brave enough to face a gang leader."

"Leader, eh? Let's see if he's brave enough to face me!" Julie cockily accepted the dare and sat in a dark corner, Ashley would let her know when he was around.

They got in the pub one by one, Billy being the first. Julie sat on a chair, in a dark corner, exactly where they were headed, her head rested back against the wall and her eyes were closed. Before they were about to comet in, Ashley let her know he was on his way. Jamie moved forward in order to tell the girl to get lost, that was their spot, but Billy grabbed his jacket.

"Leave it." He whispered to his friend and motioned with the head so his friends would sit somewhere else for now. Billy didn't say a word, he simply sat in front of her.

"I suppose you're Billy Darley." Julie said without opening her eyes.

"That'd be me." He fiercely stared at the young woman.

She finally opened her eyes and rested her elbows on the table, leaning her body forward. "And what would a gang leader be asking around about me?"

He grinned and got in the same position as hers, their faces were close, but far from touching. "Did you come here just to find that out?"

"Maybe."

"Why?"

"You're not in a position to ask questions."

Billy frowned amused. "And that'd be because…"

"Because I'm the one who has been asked about. And just so you know, I don't appreciate it. If you wanna ask something about me, do it straight out, here's your chance." She leaned back on the chair with a really small smirk on her lips. It's not that she wasn't afraid of him, hell, he scared the shit out of her, but somehow she felt he wouldn't do anything bad to her. On the other hand, she also knew she could be totally wrong. Julie couldn't deny she felt a twinge of excitement.

"Alright then, a name for starts." He also leaned back.

She shook her head. "You already know that. Either because you saw it when you came to the Falcon or because the first thing you ask about someone, normally, is the name."

"Fair enough. Why didn't you just accept the money?"

"I said you owe me nothing. God, is it that hard for you to get that?"

"People around here don't simply do each other favors, they always ask for something in return. Sooner or later."

"I'm not from around here."

"So it shows."

"Yeah. So we're fine, even or however you wanna call it, alright? I won't ask you a favor, not now, not later. Deal?" Julie offered her hand for a shake.

Billy took and held it. "What if I wanna pay you back for getting me a doctor?"

She rolled her eyes. "Say thank you."

"What?"

"Are you capable of that?"

"Yeah… Thank you." He replied a little unsatisfied.

"No problem" She shook his hand with a smile. She wanted to leave, so she got up but he still held her hand. "Can I have my hand back please?"

"Why don't you stay and share a meal with me?"

She managed to free her hand. "No thanks. I'm not into that gang thing." She quickly walked to the way out, waving to Ashley in between.

"So Dawg, is she gonna wait for you tonight?" Bodie asked with a mischievous smile and pattered on Billy's shoulder.

"She has a fucking attitude." Billy complained as the crew joined him at the table.

"She has a fucking great ass." Joe smirked and the guys nodded laughing.

"That too." Billy agreed.

"So, what you gonna do about it?"

"Relax little brother, it isn't over yet."

Well you think that you can take me on

You must be crazy

There ain't a single thing you've done

That's gonna phase me

Oh, but if you want to have a go

I just want to let you know

Get off my back and into my game

Get out of my way and out of my brain

Get outta my face or give it your best shot

I think it's time you better face the fact

Get off my back

You know it's all a game that I'm playing

Don't think that you can't find a way in

That's what I'm saying

Oh if you want to have a go

I just want to let you know…
