Chapter two:
The residents gasp upon seeing this but stay quiet when they notice the other group has weapons.
Mello clenches his fists in frustration that he can't start a fight since he has his pride to keep which means stupidly starting a fight here will damage said pride.
"We are here like you wanted. Let her go." Rodger calls to the group and though there is a gap between the two groups both can see each other without even having to squint.
They don't have to yell to hear each other but there still is a decent sized gap between the two groups and the other group outnumbers the Whammy's by a great enough number that the Whammy's will surely lose if a fight started.
"Of course." The bald leader says and he turns his turquoise eyes to the two men holding Lucy. "Release her." He says.
The two men release Lucy and she runs over to the Whammy's group while both groups watch till she is safely with the Whammy's.
"Why did you go to such lengths to get us to come here?" Rodger challenges.
"Impatient aren't we?" The gruff leader says with a small chuckle. "Well the answer is simple. You all are going to help us send a message."
Rodger's eyes widen as he hopes his thoughts that the group intends to kill them all are false.
But his fear is confirmed when the other group seems to get ready to attack.
"You try to run then we will hunt you down and torture you then kill you all." The leader says. "There is no place to hide so there is no point in even try running." He smirks widely.
Rodger glances back to the residents as most of them are terrified but there are a few that look ready to fight for their lives. He looks back to the group. "Whatever message you want us to take to whoever we will take it to whoever and swear we will not say anything about this to anyone else." He says hoping to save everyone. "Just let us all go out of this alive."
The leader chuckles. "My my that is a tempting offer but we cannot stray from our plan."
Rodger swallows harshly but before anyone can say anything the bus driver runs past the Whammy's heading to the other group.
"Boss!" He says panting slightly as he stands in front of the boss of the other group.
"What?" The leader snaps. "Spit it out."
The bus driver looks up to the leader since he had hunched over to catch his breath once he reached his spot facing the leader. "We have company." He reports.
The leader looks towards the Whammy's. "Who is it? Do you know?" He questions.
"Yes sir. It's THEM." The driver reports.
The leader laughs. "Now we have a fight." He says and the Whammy's are confused about what they are talking about. "Join the ranks."
The driver does as told.
Neither group moves and Whammy's wonder who is coming not to mention if they will be saved.
Three people with a weapon each walk out of the forest behind the Whammy's and they walk past the Whammy's.
One person in the three's ranks make the Whammy's gasp in surprise.
