I knew I had to get away. They'd kill me otherwise. As soon as we got outside, I just ran, skirting round the bodies of the Dracs we had killed. I knew they were right behind me, but I kept on running. I quickly got into Battery City and as I passed two Dracs standing guard outside some shop, I grabbed both of their guns, turning round and pointing them both at the five Dracs I had been running away from. Within 30 seconds they were all dead. Now I had to get away, because here I was surrounded by Dracs who were bound to come running any minute. I started running again, and quickly found a man getting into his car. I snatched the keys out of his hand, jumped in, slammed the door and drove off at top speed.
By the time night had fallen, I couldn't drive anymore. I was well out of Battery City by now, and was in what appeared to be a desert. I stopped next to what I thought was a roadside café. I got out of the car and knocked on the door, as it was locked. Within a few moments, the door was opened by a man who looked about my age, was maybe a few inches taller than me, and had bright red hair. He frowned at me.
"Can I help you?"
My eyes darted round the room, taking in the walls covered in band posters and graffiti. I noticed one thing in particular; the words 'Killjoys, make some noise!' spray-painted on the wall. I pulled up the sleeve of my shirt to show the word 'KILLJOY' tattooed on my forearm. He smiled slightly and pulled me indoors, closing the door. I looked around to see I was in a kitchen, with three people sitting round the table. "This is Ray Toro, Mikey Way and Frank Iero." He gestured to each of them in turn as he introduced them. "And I'm Gerard Way."
I hesitated before speaking. I wasn't sure if I should give them my real name. After all, they were Killjoys too. "Billie Joe."
"How come you're here?" said Ray, who – I must say - had the most epic afro I had ever seen.
"Well me and a couple of mates were staying in this hotel room 'cause we kinda accidently started a riot in the City and we just ran. Then last night these other two Killjoys arrived too and one of them really didn't like me. This morning we made a plan to escape, we were gonna shoot a couple of the Dracs out the front to let them know we were there, then get out. So me and Christian – the one who didn't like me – shot some of the Dracs, then legged it downstairs to a hotel room that the other guys were in, but he locked me out before I got there, so I just ran, nicked someone's car and kept driving." I explained wearily. I looked over at the door just in time to see a teenage girl enter. She looked about fifteen or sixteen, and had short brown hair with random streaks of colour, heavily lined eyes and a lip piercing.
