Goin' Back and Gettin' Away
*****
"OW! You fuckin idiot!" Madison screamed at the top of his lungs. This caused 3 guards to come running. Several of the onlooking teens were knocked down in the process. The guards grabbed both Cole and Madison and held them back from eachother. In the end it ended up looking similar to Jerry Springer. It was quite graphic too.
"You DESERVED IT!" Cole screamed back. "Thats what you get for messing with me! Your lucky I didn't shoot you!" He finished, menacingly.
"Come on boys! To the warden!" One of the guards yelled.
*****
"Scott. It's realy good to see you again." Shelby said once Scott appeared in front of the glass. Scott nodded.
"You too Shel. I know what you wanted me here for.. and I know why I came. So lets get to the point. I wanna touch you sometime today. Your so pale.... I need you and you need me." He said. Shelby nodded. They did their hand up against the glass again and still it was romantic. Well, as romantic as it could get when your in prison.
"There is this well.. fence. It is low but 2 guards are there 24/7. However, at 12:00, which is 2 hours from now, one will leave for lunch. The one that will be left is a clone of Ezra. So I think, you being this macho man you think you are, you could take him out without realy hurting him. How bout it, Ego Man?" Shelby asked. Scott thought a moment.
"If it's the only way.. then so be it. I'll meet you at the fence at 11:40. Don't even be a minute late." Scott said and left quickly before it became suspicous with all the whispering.
*****
"Sit down, boys." The warden commanded. Cole sat but Madison didn't.
"You cant make me." Madison said, defiantly.
"NOW!!!!!!" He screamed at him,holding up a stainless steel ruler.
"Okay, okay! Dont get all violent." Madison said sitting down,obediantly. The warden started giving a lecture about staying in order or they would never get out of Juvie. That being good little boys we would learn to not solve... bla bla bla.... It was boring, you dont like lectures, I dont like lectures.. so lets skip it. Ok? ok.
"Fine. Well try to get along." Cole said, eventualy.
"Speak for yourself, whimp!" Madison screamed back.
"God! Get over yourself for once. Cooperate. Get along with people and you might live until your 50 without having a hired hitman kill you!" Cole exclaimed, tired of Madison's attitude.
"Fine!" Madison said, got up and left without another word. Suddenly the door opened and Kate poked her head through the door.
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here? Mr. I'm- A- Murderer, himself." She said snickering.
"Yeah, whatever. Cole said pushing past her, and out of the door.
"Oh. Mr. Taylor. I have called a Mr. Scarbrow... he's coming to talk to you about your actions soon... he didn't sound too happy with your behavoir." The warden said. Cole hung his head and sighed.
"Cool." He said, solumly, and walked away.
*****
It was 12:45. Where was she? Could something have happened? Was she caught? Hurt? All these questions raged in Scott's mind until...
"Hey, Cowboy." Shelby said. Her back turned and her blond hair flowing in the wind. Scott couldn't help but remember. Remember back to happier times. Before all of this murder stuff.
*Flashback*
Scott sat on the docks. His bare feet splashing in the water. It was 12:00 am... and he and Shelby were to meet for their nightly reaudevu soon. He loved these meetings.
"Hey, Cowboy." Scott heard the farmiliar voice say behind him. He turned to see Shelby, still in her Pajamas. Their meetings weren't 'formal' anymore. They were so common that it was useless to change back into your day clothes and prep up before them. All they would do was lay in each others arms watching the stars.
"Hey, Shel. Have a good sleep?" Scott asked kidding.
"Yeah. About as much as you." She said back.
"So ya wanna.. "talk"?" He asked. They both knew what that ment. Shelby sat down beside Scott and layed in his arms as they started to kiss. Thats as far as it ever got. Kissing. Thats all they needed. That and each other.
*End Flashback*
"So.. you ready?" She asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." He replyed. They turned back around and watched as the bigger guard left, brown bag, filled with his lunch, in hand. Scott sighed as he walked up the side of the chain link fence and stood behind the unknowing, small, guard. He took his fingers and squeezed on the officers pressure point on his neck. This caused him to fall. Very "Karate Kid" like.
*****
"I told you, Peter! He started it!!!" Cole screamed.
"What did we teach you at Horizon?! HUH! Have you forgotten that already!?" Peter yelled back. Cole thought for a moment.
"Yeah, well, People change, Peter. If you would have let me stay at Horizon instead of going back to the home, things wouldn't be this way. I would have never been sent to that house. And if you would have done the same with Shelby, she would still be at Horizon too." He yelled, in a monotone voice. It was haunting if you knew the way Cole used to be like. He used to be a happy highly dysfunctional adolesant.
"You know I tried! I did! And now your putting all the weight on my back! I did what I could!" Peter screamed back. From then on Cole refused to talk to Peter. Finaly, Peter asked to talk to the warden alone. He explained the situation to the warden and told him that Cole would be better off somewhere else. They came to an agreement and Peter stepped back into the office.
*****
"Son of a mother--" Shelby started. "They're right on our tail, Scott!!" She screamed.
"I know. We just have to um.. well we have to.. I DONT KNOW!!" He screamed. Shelby, being the quick thinker she is, jerked Scott's arm and threw him and herself in a dumpster.
"Well, this is one way." Scott said.
"Shhh... do you want them to find us?" Shelby whispered. Scott shook his head and they layed together for a while.
*****
"I'm leaving!? Where am I going?" Cole asked, partialy screaming.
"Just get in the van. I'll tell you when we get there." Peter said.
"Oh thats a real help." Cole mumbled and got in the car.
"Wa Wa Wa! Thats all I hear from you kids!" Peter replied, as he too got in the van.
2 hours later the van pulled up a familiar dark, rocky road. Cole gasped at his surroundings. He then made it to the entrance of the place and saw a group of kids, familiar kids, standing before him. The Cliffhangers.
"WELCOME BACK, COLE!!" Juliette screamed. He was back.. back home. At Horizon.
*****
"The coast is clear." Shelby said, poking her head out of the dumpster. "GOD YOU STINK!" She screamed.
"Speak for yourself, stinky." Scott replied, only half joking. They both started lauging until Shelby rememberd something.
"We have to go back for him" Shelby said.
"Who?!"
"Cole. We've been through alot together. We cant just leave him." She finished.
"Well. I dont see how it could hurt to stop by and 'visit' him. We could act like his parents. So what do say, mommy?" Scott asked, smirking.
"I say: Cole, mommy and daddy's commin'. " They both laughed again and then took off down the street, in search for Cole.
*****
"Hey, guys!" Cole said to the Cliffhangers. "Who is that?" He asked pointing to a kid in the back.
"Thats Kristin Maddox. She's a newbie" Daisy said.
"Oh. Hey." Cole said. "Why are you here?" He asked.
"Um.. well.. I've gotta go." She said and ran away.
"Weird girl" Cole said. " Who is that?" He asked pointing to a girl with shoulder length blond hair, blue tinted glasses, and blue eyes. She turned around and looked at Cole in a who-are- you sorta way. He spoke up.
"Who are you? My name is Cole. I am a Cliffhanger from about 3 months ago."
"I'm Staci Roberts. I just arrived."
"Hey."
"Go get settled in, Cole. I'm glad your back." Sophie said.
"I am still a Cliffhanger right?" He asked.
"Yeah. Go to the boys dorms." Peter said.
"Darn and I was hoping to sleep in the girls dorm tonight. So much for my luck" Cole said sarcasticaly and ran off to the dorm before he was showered with Shuns forever.
*****
"What do you mean he's not here?" Shelby asked.
"Well... he left with some man. Peter Scarbrow I think. Was he not authorized to go with him" The lady at JuV asked. Shelby thought a moment.
"Oh yeah. He was authorized to go with him. We just thought he was leaving tomorrow. Sorry." Scott butted in. He grabbed Shelby's arm and pulled her out the door. "Now what do you want to do? We cant go to Horizon and expect them not to call the cops.... like Kat did on you and him"
"Well. Horizon is where he wanted to be... so lets leave him" Shelby said. Scott nodded.
"Thats best. How long do you think I have until they realise I'm missing. We went back to Horizon today... but I stayed behind. I told Daisy to cover for me. Say I was asleep in the back before any one asked. I wonder if my cover is blown yet" Scott asked.
"I'm sure it is. I mean, Peter is protective. He does roll call every 5 minutes." Shelby said, smirking.
"He stoped ever since you left. I guess he thought that it was useless.. since there would always be a Cliffhanger missing." He said.
*****
"Hey! Peter! Have you seen Scott around anywhere?" Cole asked.
"Yeah. I haven't seen him since the outward bound trip" Auggie comented.
"Me neither" Ezra said.
"You dont think... he ran do you?" Peter asked.
"I dont know. You know he loves it here." Auggie said.
"Loved it here" Ezra popped in.
"What do you mean EZ" Peter asked.
"Ever since Shelby left he has hated it here." Ezra said .
"Oh... SHIT" Peter said. "We left him behind at the prison. I'm sure of it! We have to go back." All of the Cliffhangers rushed into their dorms when they heard Peter scream.
"ONLY ME! YOU GUYS CANT GO!"
They all sunk down to their bunks waiting for further instructions.
