A/N: We hear Patty's side of the story!
On a side note, thank you all so much for the kind reviews! I don't deserve them ;u; You guys are too awesome.
May 1
Big sis broke her arm today! So she told me, Patty, to write in here, hooray! She wanted me to cut out this little into, but I told her no way 'cuz if she wants me to write this then I'm gonna write it the way I want! So she's telling me what to say and then I gotta write it down, and then she said maybe I can write what I want down if I do a good job, so yay!
So we were walking down the block just minding our own business when we saw some rich-looking dude we wanted to steal from. So she tells me to go up behind him and to get ready to take from his pockets. She walks up to him and asks him what the time was, and he had on a really expensive looking watch. When he lifted his arm to check the time for her, she pokes him in the eyes and snatches the watch off his wrist. I take his wallet and run after her, but the dude's really quick and grabs her arm. I heard her yell something, so I turned back to see her struggling.
She tells me to run, but of course she's my big sister so why would I do that? Instead I kick the dude who's screaming for the cops in the shin and he lets go of Lizzie. But there's a big crowd around us now and we're trapped, and people are calling the cops and I'm kinda scared. We've never been in a situation like this before, so we just look at each other. Someone grabs me and Liz and I bite their hand, Liz kicking some guy in the balls. Man, we looked awesome! But that's not what I'm writing about.
I hear sirens. We're desperate by this point, so Liz transforms and I'm shooting bullets into the air. I'm screaming: "I'M HERE TO KILL YOU ALL!" And they all run away from me. The cop car comes near us and I'm running at full speed since I'm faster than Liz. I'm not too sure where to go so I'm making unpredictable patterns into alleys and street corners and parking lots and yadda yadda yadda. Liz tells me to keep running since we still hear those sirens. But we come to a dead end and Liz transforms back, seeing if we can climb up an emergency escape ladder. But she slips and falls.
The cops are closing in on us now, and she tells me to transform. She throws me up to the top and I land safely, transforming back. She tries to climb up, but she keeps falling. There's a dude who grabs her. He's got her arm in an iron grip and she's screaming and kicking and spitting and cursing and I don't know what to do. Do I jump down and help her? Do I run and save myself like she's telling me to? Some more cops are grabbing her now and I decide that my only choice is to go down and rescue her.
So I land on the cop who's holding her arm's head and he lets go of her, falling to the ground, but bringing Liz with him. I hear a loud crack, but I'm not too sure if it's Liz's arm or the guy's head. I'm kind of hoping it's the guy's head, since I don't want anything to happen to big sis. Some guys try to grab me, letting go of Liz, but she transforms for me and I'm shooting blindly. When the guys back up a bit I make a blind jump at the ladder, praying I don't miss or slip and get us caught, but by some miracle I grab something.
And do you wanna know what it was? Well, I'll tell you. It was the kid we met a little while back's hand. You know, the kid with the funny hair and the flying skateboard? Yeah, him.
The cops are yelling and shooting, (I guess they got guns when I jumped. How'd they do that that fast?) But the kid's super quick and he pulls me up. He's still holding onto me as we run across the rooftops, and he yells something and he's got the flying skateboard again. He tells me to hold on, but I'm having way too much fun on that thing. Liz is yelling at the kid, still transformed. He doesn't look like he's listening to her, the asshole! I'm flapping my arms around and pretending I'm a bird, and all I can hear is the two of them yelling stuff. But I'm laughing so hard that I can't hear what they're saying. I think the kid's saying that I'm gonna fall and Liz's yelling at him to let us down and to not yell at me.
Sometime later we land in another alleyway. I'm not too sure but I think it's somewhere near Maggie's house. I remember mugging an old man in here once. Liz comes back and I can tell that she's really, really mad. The kid just looks at us, looking bored (I guess that's just his thing) And I can tell Liz is ready to let him have it. But I look at her arm and I tug at her shirt, and she turns to me. I point to her right arm, and she gasps. It's all crooked and bleeding and it's really yucky. He grabs her arm and she yells at him to let go of her or she's gonna sock him in the mouth. I'm kinda hoping she does, 'cuz that'd be super funny.
He lets go of her arm and crosses his arms, telling her it looks like she broke it. She's grinding her teeth and I'm grinning because this whole thing was pretty funny. He's looking back and forth at me and then Liz before he says something. "You two seem to have a hard life," He says (Phh! Like he knows anything about our lives) and Liz is getting madder by the second. "If you two were my weapons, you wouldn't have to resort to stealing to get food on your plate. I'd take care of you, if you'd just give me a chance. My name is Dea-"He says before Liz cuts him off by punching him in the face with her arm that isn't broken. I laugh. But he just takes it, not seeming very mad at her. It doesn't look like she punched him very hard. I wonder why that is.
"What'd I tell you, kid? Why do you care so much about us being your weapons? Who're you working for? HUH?" She yells. He stares blankly at her. "Lord Death." He says, and we both freeze. Lord Death? The grim reaper? Holy shit, he's planning on taking us in and killing us! It's a trap! Oh God!
Liz stumbles back. "L- Leave us alone." She says, before grabbing my arm and running off, leaving him in the alley. I hear him yell that he didn't mean it that way and he just wants us to be his partners. But Liz keeps running. We run to Maggie's house, and she lets us in.
Maggie cleans Liz's arm and puts some gauze around it. Liz refuses to talk to her. I think Liz forgot to say this before, but Maggie smokes pot. She doesn't like that about her, and there's a joint on her coffee table. She started when she was in third grade, when her mom died. Her house smells really bad and Maggie's kinda out of it. Liz glares at her. I think Maggie's high. Maggie leans on me and laughs when she's done with Liz, playing with my hair, Liz gets up and glares some more. "Where's Ragsy, Pat? I miss him. I love him. Did you kill him? You asshole, he was a good dog. We went to Vegas a few nights back. We had a good time. Why'd you go and kill him, you bitch? Frig, the world's spinning…" She says, and now I can say with confidence that she's high. Liz grabs my arm for what seems like the millionth time today and tells Maggie "Thanks, but we've gotta go. Lay off the drugs." And we leave.
We run home as fast as we can and we look around the house for Rags and any cops that may be hiding. We find rags sleeping in his bed. No cops. Yay!
Liz sits down and lights a cigarette. I think she needs to relax because we've had a long day. Rags wakes up and I feed him some bread. He's gotten a bit better and now he can actually eat now. I play with him for a little while and Liz goes to her room, coming back with this book. She tells me to write this whole thing and she just told me that if I wanna add anything then I can. Because I'm a good little sister and she's glad I didn't listen to her and didn't run. But she just said that what I did was dangerous and I shouldn't take big risks like that. She says that she'd rather go to jail and have me free than have me with her in jail or both of us dead.
It's not like me to be corny or end something like this, but I've gotta say this.
I don't wanna live without her. She's all I have left.

Responses:
Patty Loves Giraffes: I've been waiting to write that since the moment I started this story! Thank you for the nice review!~
XxXPeaceReaperXxX: Thanks so much! And yeah, I'm pretty sure this is number three xD Expect many more chapters up soon, since this one is way too much fun to write, I've got a lot planned for it and I don't have the motivation to write anything else at the moment. And no, I don't mind long reviews. I like reading them :)
Devi Le's Mirror: Thanks! I agree, I think Liz would want to appear to be a chill person. Plus, they have to be stealthy instead of just mugging everyone out in public, unlike what they did in this chapter. So their lives aren't as action-packed as some may think it to be. And yes, I was happy to finally be able to write for Kid. He'll be having a lot more apperances soon :)
