CHAPTER 4: PAST
The morning was silent as the drawn rose up over the horizon.
"Hey 2-D! Hey you little dullard, wake up!"
2-D opened his eyes and saw Murdoc staring down at him. With a startle, he fell off the couch and hit the carpeted floor of Murdoc's Winnebago. "Muds? You scared me, what time is it?" he yawned. "Its time to move It., We have work to do." Murdoc said sternly. "What work?" 2-D asked, scratching his side.
"We're going to Soho New York." Murdoc replied.
5 YEARS AGO…..
Brooklyn, New York
"Russel, hurry up or you'll be late for school." Mrs. Hobbs shouted from downstairs. Russel was in his room gathering up his school books. "I'm coming mom!" Russel shouted back. He grabbed his backpack and headed down into his living room where his mom was waiting.
"And don't worry I won't be late. The guys are picking me up." He told her. "Okay well don't go goofing off, I don't want to be getting a phone call that says that you cut school today, I mean you were all ready expelled from your old school." She said. "Don't remind me." Russel moaned.
3 years ago, Russel used to attend an expensive private school, but was expelled 3 months after he first started attending, for suffering from demonic possession. He had always been a troubled youth, and soon afterwards, the trauma of the possession caused him to go into a four year coma in which he was revived by an exocisim. After his recovery, Russel began attending Brooklyn High School and made friends with a group of rappers and street musicians.
"Okay well have a good day." His mother said hugging him. "Bye" Russel said heading out the door. Outside, 3 boys were standing by the stairs to his apartment—Darell, Marcus, and Mikey. "Don't worry Mrs. H, its cool, he's going to be walking to school with us." Said Mikey. The four of them started walking down the sidewalk. "Hey Russ, are you okay man? Your acting so quiet latley?" Marcus asked. "It's nothing, I'm just tired, that's all." Russel sighed. "Did your Ma get on your case about being expelled again?" Darell asked with a weird look. "Wha? Hey how did you know?" Russel asked surprised. "I can tell that's what is bothering you." He said. "She has been all over me latley about school, but don't worry. This is a new life for me, I have given up that memory, its in the past. Anyway, I have a dream to hold onto, a dream to become a great drum player."
"Hey did you guys hear the news?" Marcus said. "What news?" Darell asked. "There are gangs hanging out in this neighborhood. Last night, a kid was walking home by himself and he got jumped and mugged by one of them. They took his wallet and ran off before the coppers could come. They found the kid lying in the street, bloodied up and bruised from head to toe." Marcus told them.
"Damn…….poor kid. Gangs are nothing but trouble." Said Mikey slowly shaking his head. "Yeah we had betta be careful around here. I mean, someone could be watching us." Russel said.
Unfortunatly, what Russel said was true.
