Ace of Spades

Chapter 10 – Where's Shadow?

Raptor's POV

Driving home I thought it would be a good idea to see how Shadow is doing. He beat the shit out of that blue fuck, I would guess he's in the best mood of his life.

Pulling into his driveway I exited the car to stop at his front door in confusion.

"The door was new. When did he get this replaced?" I wondered as I knocked.

Waiting for someone to answer I was surprised when someone came behind me.

"Hey Raptor!"

"Aghh!" In a freaked out tone I screamed to see Sky there with Marx.

"Jesus!" I shouted as I heard them laughing.

"Shut up!" I ordered as they asked.

"What you doing here?"

"I came to see if Shadow wanted to go out to the mall. Why are you here?" I asked as they held hands.

Sky was a light blue hedgehog with long shoulder length hair of the same peaceful color. She was over hot to be Marx's girlfriend but hey that just emans he lucky getting a girl he likes and a girl with a perfect body for her age.

"We were going to meet Dom and Arianna at the laser tag stadium downtown."

"Who's all going?" I asked excited a little.

"Dom Arianna. Ghost and Dove. Dark and Shade. Archer and Rayne, and I think Conner is coming with Kate." Stated Marx as I smiled and asked.

"You want me to come? I can drive you there?"

Smiling Sky replied.

"Your more then welcome, but what about Shadow?"

Looking back at the door I replied.

"I don't think he's home."

"Call him." Urged Marx as I nodded and went for my phone.

Shadow's POV

As I neared Issac's place I answered my phone.

"What?!" I asked as I heard it was one of my friends.

"Woo! I was just calling to ask you something Shadow!" It was Raptor.

"Sorry! What do you want!?" I asked in pain as he replied.

"Are you ok? You sound weird."

"I'm fine! Listen I'm driving right now so can you call back later?!" I asked as he replied.

"You have a car?"

In my head I shouted.

"FUCK!"

"I'm with a few friends! Their letting me drive!"

"Cool! Where you all heading!? Cause we're all heading to go play laser tag. You can drive by and join us if you want?" Stated Raptor as I replied.

"We're really busy!" I stated as I looked back to smell the dead.

"Alright then come after your done!" Offered Raptor as I replied.

"I'll can't! I have to go!" I stated as I entered the mansion.

Hanging up I got out to see Decker there.

"Shadow!" He shouted as he hugged me.

Nearly falling he dragged me into the house.

"The truck is full of money and drugs heading to Dreil!" I stated as he widened his eyes.

"Where are the men who attacked you!?"

"Dead! I killed them don't worry!" I stated as he got me inside.

Holding my still bleeding arm I was taken for help.

The Next Day

Issac managed to get me back in my place and it was nice of him to fix it up after the attack.

As I checked everything to make sure all my stuff was there I was happy to see it was.

My arm was covered and wrapped with bandage and was stitched up, but my knees were the problem. They were nearly broken according to the doctor who worked for Issac and his brother. He gave me some pills to dull the pain and said to just rest for a few days. Too bad his note won't get me out of school if this happens to last more then the week I'm suspended.

"Did I mention I had to use crutches to get around my place?"

What's even more of a problem is when one of my friends sees me. What the fuck do I tell them?

My plan is to stay locked up in my house until I'm better. It's really all I can do. How can this get worse?

"Ring!"

Immediately picking up the cell I answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Shadow." My eyes widened at the voice. It was Amy.

I'm stopping here for today, because of two things.

1. I like suspense and 2. I need to think of what comes next.

I understand if it is going too fast or if it is boring at first, but I need to get the boring stuff out of the way to crave a path for the story I want ahead. Just bare with me. Cause I think I'm writing crappy chapters right now.
