Here is Chapter 12 of "Sunrise Over the Bay State" Enjoy and please review :-)
Nick and Olivia were downstairs at the lower bus terminal, waiting for the 19 bus to Dudley Station.
However, most of the people were staring weirdly at Nick and Olivia.
"They must think we're cops or something." whispered Olivia to Nick.
"Hey you!" shouted a black man.
"Are you talking to me?" asked Nick.
"Yeah I am! Got a cigarette?"
"I don't smoke, and she doesn't smoke either." said Nick.
The black man stared at Nick, then walked away.
Just then, the bus arrived.
But however, many people, mostly Hispanic jammed the bus.
"Shoot!" said Nick. "We'll never get a seat now."
When they finally got on board, a older Hispanic woman bumped into Nick, then yelled at him.
Nick didn't care, even though they had to stand up the entire trip.
When they arrived at Dudley, the 23 bus was waiting.
"Awesome!" exclaimed Nick. "The bus is already here."
Olivia had been talking on her cell phone the entire trip in, and continued to talk all the way until they arrived at the Dorchester Police Station.
DORCHESTER POLICE STATION
5:30PM
Officer Connolly greeted Nick and Olivia and brought them into the conference room.
"What seems to be the issue?" asked Officer Connolly.
"Well, we have an issue going on in Norwood with a gang that just so happens to be from Dorchester." explained Nick.
"What's the name of the group?" asked Officer Connolly.
"The Coke Boys." said Olivia. "They've been causing a lot of trouble, especially in Norwood."
"Why would they be called the Coke Boys?" wondered Officer Connolly. "That seems like a silly name for a gang?"
Just then, Olivia remembered something from a while before.
"Coke is usually a slang for cocaine. That must be where they got the name from."
"I see." said Officer Connolly. "Well then, I'm going to let you guys go, but please feel free to contact me if any new information breaks."
He handed Nick and Olivia business cards.
"Thanks a lot." said Nick.
"No problem. Please get home safely."
"We will!" said Olivia, and the two headed back to the bus stop.
The two didn't arrive home 'till late.
"I'm heading to bed." said Nick as soon as they entered. "I'm really tired."
"Don't you want to watch a good movie or TV show?" asked Olivia.
"No, I'm really tired." said Nick. "Night Olivia."
"Night Nick." replied Olivia.
Nick went off to bed, and Olivia went to watch TV.
Next morning, Nick overslept.
It was nearing time for the two to head out to work, and Olivia was getting concerned.
So, she went upstairs to Nick's bedroom, and was surprised to see Nick sitting in panic.
"What's wrong Nick?" asked Olivia.
"I've being having negative thoughts." said Nick with panic. "I had a nightmare last night about the Coke Boys killing me."
Olivia was surprised.
"Things are going to be alright." said Olivia.
"Are you sure?" asked Nick.
"I'm positive."
"You promise me the Coke Boys won't cause me any harm?" asked Nick.
"They won't."
Nick felt better now.
"We better get going." said Olivia, "or else we'll be late for work."
And so the two set off for work.
