Chapter 11

"I'm telling you Gary, it was nothing I have seen before. The entire football team and the cheerleaders were all tied up in the club house. Gagged too. Apparently, some guys from blue skies jumped them all, stripped them down and tied them up. They did a runner with the gear, Cat saw them actually. Some of Johnny's boys think they're from the Juvie school that Jimmy volunteers at. You should have been there" Petey was sat on the spinny chair that was with Gary's desk. He twisted back and forth while staring at a shirtless Gary. Only a lamp between and only a lamp to light the room. Petey watched Gary, he would only nod or let up a little smile. "Gary, are you okay?" Petey stabled his twisting.

"Yeah, just a lot on my mind with school, having a girlfriend and the declaration of war like we're in the middle bloody ages." Gary raised his left eye brow and shook his head slightly. "Chuck me my smokes and be a babe and open the window for me" He said lighting a cigarette up in his mouth, he glanced at picky and threw one at him. "Lighten up your self okay? I'm fine." Gary slide down his bed, he rested his head on his left arm and propped up his right leg and took long and slow drags. "So, what's the plan tonight Peter? Chasing Zoe? Chasing Johnny? Or are you cuddling up to me tonight?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, my dear but I will be out with the guys tonight. Going to play some pool, have a few beers and probably crash at the tenaments. You wanna join?" Petey stood up with his smoke hanging out his mouth, he walked over to his bed and pulled up his heavy leather jacket. It almost glistened in the dark light. He checked his hair quickly, pushing and smoothing it in to place. Gary shook his head. "Eh, suit your self. Try not to think of me when you touch your self" and with that Petey left.

Gary chuckled to him self quietly, he was impressed with the new confidant Petey. He felt like their friendship was real this time. He did feel bad that Zoe wasn't going to give it up to him though, they would make a strange little couple. "Ah well Pete, keep chasing that pointless tail." Gary said, shuffling slightly to get a little more comfort. With his semi free hand he, he placed his half smoked cigarette in his mouth and picked up his phone from the side of his bed.

'12:07 AM' he reach up slightly and switched off the lamp next to him. Only the moon light lit of the room, his skin seemed grey in its light. His toned muscles was relaxed perfectly and the scars across his body showed reluctantly. Taking a final draw of his cigarette, he put it out in his turtle shell ashtray. He stared at the picture as his phone wallpaper for a moment. It was him and Cat, it had a black and white filter over them kissing. It was taken a few months back when they played against one of their bigger rivals and won. They had a huge party that night. Gary was remembering the refreshing rain falling on the back of his hot head as he was leaning down to kiss his queen.

Gary held his phone to his chest and stared at the black thick lines across his body. Shadows from the blindes. He glanced at his phone again and did a little smirk. He swung his legs out of bed. He went across the room to the luke warm radiator to grab his navy blue sweat pants. Tugging at them to gain a little warmth over his boxers, he wondered to his desk. He turned the chair back wards and took a seat while looking at cats window. The window was black. "hmm." He grabs his phone.

'If your awake and a lone switch your lamp on twice xxx' he sends.

Her window blinks twice. As he was about to text Cat again, she text him a photo. She was fully clothed. In his hoodie and her skinny jeans.

'? Not very sexy is it babe xxx'

'Look up moron' "Okay I'll bite" he said looking up with a raised eyebrow.

Her light was back. He stayed watching, then there was a black figure in the window. unfortunately Gary didn't have super human vision but he was going to make the best out of what he was going to see. Watching with slightly squinted eye's. He could see she was sort of swaying from side to side, her arms went up then slowly down. He could see she was pulling her hoodie over her head and casting it aside. Then with swing of the hips to the right, she tugged her skinny jeans down slightly and again as she swung to the left and again to the right.

"Oh you dirty girl" he said with a dog dirty grin, his phone went again. ' good night baby, love you xxx' she said to him.

'you are a damn tease' he giggled his reply. He watched her lights go out. He stayed sat at his desk and fiddling with a pencil. While rotating it back forth between his fingers, his throught's wondered from Cat alone and naked in her bed without him to what Petey spoke about previously.

'Why would Petey sit here and Moeder me about the bloody football team.' Gary shook his head. ' I suppose it is strange that someone would tie them up and leave them in there' Gary scratched his head. ' but it was to small to be any of the nerds and they don't have that much money to bribe anyone. There's no way it was the townies. They've backed off since Zoe came back to school. Plus Edger is a dad now, he can't afford to be away from his little girl.' Gary stood up and grabbed his phone and smokes, walking to his door. He stopped at Petey's bed side table, to which was only on the right to the door. On his tableside, he had a green little smiling piggie, with purple dots. He shook it slightly. He heard a few dollars rolling around. "Atta boy Petey, always paying for my drinks." With bare feet he opened the door.

He looked down to the right, no one was there. He down the left and could see lights going off in the common room. He tilted his head slightly, "hopefully it'll be someone rather interesting." He pulled out a cigarette, popped it in his mouth and lit a match, covering the naked flame he brought it to his mouth and took a long drag. With a cool swish of his hand, he brought it to his side and let the smoke from his mouth flow freely as walked to the common room.

He looked just past the door way, it was Trent and peanut watching some black and white horror film. Peanut had hid arm draped over the back of the sofa, his grubby boots on a pulled up chair with his leather jacket draped down the back of it. Trent had his shit hanging down the left side of his chest, he was in blue fuzzy pajama pants, his hair was scruffy.

"Midnight tumble boys?" Gary asked with his cigarette hanging out his mouth. He looked at the low glowing lights on the drinks machine. He pressed one of the blue ones, it was hard to make out what he was ordering. The signs had become so faded it was a constant roulette.

"No way, I'm faithful to Kirby ill have you know" Trent said as he turned his head slightly.

"ah yes, I heard about his bondage session, how is the little mite?" Gary walked to the right hand of the sofa and sat on the arm next to peanut, all three watched the film while they spoke.

"ehh, his ego is a bit hurt, all of theirs is. Peanut and my self was just talking about it actually. None of them actually saw who it was, they had black ski masks on." Said Trent.

"Yeah but some of saw them going through new Coventry, me and lucky thought coach was doing a new punishment or something." Peanut spoke finally.

"Wait, what?" Gary broke his gaze from the T.v. "where was they heading to? Did you see?" he stood up.

"no, I didn't but Norton did, he was with Lola. Hey did you know they're in laws? His brother is marrying her sister. Crazy right." Peanut said looking up Gary.

"Yeah, great news in the new found incest community. Did he say where they went?" Gary said raising his voice in urgency.

"oh yeah, blue skies. Why?" Peanut sat up.

"No, reason. is Johnny and Petey still at new Coventry? I have an idea"

"yeah, they're there all night. Is everything okay Gary?"

"it will be, call them. tell them I'm on my way. I need them to find rope, paint, bed streets and some big ass bags." Gary ran out and down the hall to his room. He stopped in his tracks when something caught his eye. "hmm, Jimmy's room is open." He slowly wondered back up the hall, he prepared him self with every step. As he reached his door, he could hear Jimmy's chemistry set bubbling in the corner. He pushed the door open more from its inch wide creek.

"Jimmy, buddy. Are you in here?" he said calmly. As he looked round the dark and shadowy room, he saw that he was alone. He pushed the door more but was stopped by a few inches and a thump. Realising that was rather weird for a door, he looked at the back of it. He half expected Jimmy to be holding on to the back of it. There was a headshot of Gary, with darts in the picture. " I feel as if I should be more disturbed by this" he said quietly to him self.

He decided to leave before the resident Hannibal came back. Back in his own room, he wondered about looking for socks and a black hoodie, a hoodie was found and threw to the bed from the wash basket. His socks where a different matter. Looking around in a haste of a dark room that was poorly lit by a cramp green lamp, Gary decided Petey would loan him a pair. Crossing the room to Petey's chest of draws, he could smell lavender. This smell caught him off guard, as he opened the draw he hoped he would find a girls undies or scarf that no one knew about it but to what greeted him was the femme boy he knew and loved.

The draw was ordered neatly by colour, in the right hand corner of the draw was a little baggie, Gary was intrigued that maybe he wasn't, the beloved femme boy after all, but it was what was containing the lavender. Gary shook his head, he saw a fluffy blue pair of socks. "they will do perfectly bunny boy." Gary wondered back to his side the room. He picked up his hoodie and tugged it on, at the same time he tried to squish his shoes on his feet. 'BEEP BEEP'

Half way through tugging his hoodie on he paused. " who the hell is texting me at this time?" he pulled his hoodie right and grabbed his phone. Pushing his right foot back and forth to get it comfy inside his trainers. "Hey baby. Wanted to let you know Jimmy is in the dorms on my floor, seems to be in Mandy's room, EW! (still upsets Zoe, I think ) Lola said Johnny texted her that you guys are heading out. Is everything okay? Xxx"

Gary rolled his eyes, "Women…hey boo, everything is fine, lock your dorm room door please call me I anything happens, till I get to you just scream and tell the girls to scream to. Just doing guy things love ya xxxxxxx" Gary debated whether his text sounded cold or not but decided to send it any way. As he rushed out the doors and down the steps. He stopped and looked at her window . he sighed. ' I promise, I love you xxx' he stuck his tongure out to bite as he had a mild idea, he looked up Latin translate on his phone.

"welcome ad bellum"….. welcome to war.
