Chapter 37

I need an explanation

Eli's POV

"Okay enough man! Just help him."Adam said,pushing me out of the car. "Someone hand me that dustpan." I reached into the backseat,picking up the dust pan. "How is that going to help?" Adam looked at me like I was nuts. "We'll sorry I don't have any better weapons in the car." I said ..."Wait Eli take the pepper spray." Ally handed me a spray can. "okay..." I said thinking. I'm going to defend Fitz with pepper spray and a dust pan! Yah I'm a hero...sarcasm.

"What the hell man!" Fitz said,fighting the guys with his fists. "Damn it!" I said,and I got in a fight. Throwing punches right and left,using the dust pan as my shield. I really hoped Clare wasn't watching... I finally grabbed one of the guys around the neck,spraying the pepper spray at them. I ducked,when another one threw a punch at my jaw. Fitz and I fought them,eventually they fell to the ground,covering their eyes. "Fitzy Boy!" I said,getting in the car. "Sorry man..." I took a breath. "What the hell was that?" I yelled. "I have a better question Where the hell did you learn how to fight like that?" I hit the gas.

"Answer me damn it!" I said. "I don't know maybe something to do with my dad." I touched my cheek,feeling a bruise. "So they kicked your ass?" I was really upset. "Where did you learn to fight like that?" Clare asked. I spun the wheel of the car. "I'll tell you later." I said. "I need a new dustpan,otherwise Morty is going to get dirty." I said. Everyone just looked at me. "you treat this car like a human." Fitz said. Clare but in..."There's a reason for that."

"Owgh oh." I said,looking in my reer view mirror... "We've got company." I said. "Lose them!" Fitz yelled. "allright,everyone hang on to something..." I said,then I turned the car around on the road. You could hear it slide. I pressed the gas,going the opposite way,leaving the goons stuck at the dead end of the street. I whipped out of that street,hoping Morty could handle it. Then I slammed the brakes at a stop light. The light changed. I rammed into that green light and went down an old abdonned road,watching the goons drive past the street,confused. The car came to a hault.

"I taught Morty some tricks." I said. Everyone gasped. "I want an explanation." Clare said,crossing her arms. I didn't answer. "Eli answer me..." I saw the goons coming back around in the car. They saw us,turning in,ramming their car into us,trying to push us off the road. "Road rage" Adam said. "We should call for help..." "That's not needed." I said. "Nobody hurts Morty and gets away with it!" Then all hell broke loose.

We found ourselves in a high speed herse chase. "So Fitz why are these guys trying to kill you?" I asked,spinning the car back around,sending the goons around in circles. "I don't know...man it's not like they have a gun or anything." I really wished he wouldn't of said that. There was a gun shot..."Damn.." I said. "Everybody get down!" "Man are bullets red and balloon like?" Adam asked looking out the window. "It's a fricken flair gun!" I said...pissed off turning down a busy street. "If you see a police station... tell me." I said,making my way down the town. "There!" Adam said.

I turned in the police station. The goons,sped away. We all caught our breaths. "I need an explanation." Clare said,gasping for air. "Yah Fitz who were those guys?" Fitz sighed. "I thought they were gonna mug me,so I gave them my wallet." I scratched my head. "FitzyBoy that didn't have an ID in it...did it?" He looked confused. "Would that be bad?" I persed my lips. "We'll we got in a fight with people you thought were muggers,got into a high speed chase...got shot with a flare gun..." I was trying not to hurt Fitz. "Damn it! Adam...we should of just drove away." I said. "Nice man." Fitz said,leaning back in his seat.

"Now what?" Fitz asked. I got out of the car. I grabbed Fitz by the ear. "We file a police report." We entered the building. "Can I be of assistance?" I sighed. "My buddy here was mugged outside of a pharmacy." "Are you hurt?" I touched my cheek. "Nah just a bruise." I said,taking the clipboard.

"Whats your drivers lisence number?" I asked,going through a check list. "I don't know four..." I tried not to hurt him. "idiot!" I said. "What is your birthday?" I asked. "May something man." I looked at his eyes,they were glossy. "Fitz did you steal drugs from those guys?" I tried to whisper as quietly as possible. He looked guilty. "No." He said casually.

"Here" I said,handing the paper to the guy. "If we get any leads or your wallet is turned in we will call you." I walked out with Fitz,hoping no one would notice he was high.

"The birds are so pretty man." I nudged him. "What did you take?" I asked. "a little green pill." he said. "Great so Fitz is high on something...and were walking out of a police station." I mumbled to myself.

We got in the car. "Fitz go to sleep." I said,locking him in the back of morty.

Clare's POV

So that was like an action movie. How did Eli know all those things,where did he learn to fight like that? Why wasn't he talking to me? All these questions went through my mind. "Jesus!" Adam said. "Hey!" I said. "Sorry Clare" Adam said. "I meant oh dear!" "That's better.." I said. "We'll it's never boring with us is it?" Eli said,holding me. "Hey where's that girl?" He asked. "Ally ,Eli you need to learn her name." Adam said.

"She went in the bathroom." I looked up. He was concerned. "yah I'll go check on her." I said,getting out of the car.
I found Ally puking. "Are you okay?" She gulped. "The twist and turns,put my stomach in knots." She said,getting up. "Hey Clare promise you won't hate me..." She said. "I could never hate you Ally." I said,walking towards a mirror. "Clare I lied I didn't get my period...I just said that so Fitz would lay off me."

My eyes shot open. "So you still could be pregnant?" "That makes two of us..." She said.

Ally started banging on the door. "Hey Clare the door is stuck!" She said,trying to open it. "push,don't pull!" I said. "That's not working Clare." I heard a thud. "Are you okay?" I asked,trying to pull the door open. "The toilet is broken,it's overflowing...get me out of here!" She yelled. I was terrified as water started to rise and flood the bathroom. "Crawl under the door." She yelled. "Idiot it goes to the floor. "Crawl over the door!" I yelled. I heard another noise. "I"m trying!" I could see her holding onto the door for dear life,like a monkey. "Crawl!" I said. I saw her hands come over the top,and they were slipping. I grabbed them trying to pull her over the door. "Suck in!" I said,trying to lift her over the door,but to no avail.

I watched the door open. I was hoping I could explain this. "Edwards..you flooded their bathroom? really?" I felt a blush coming on. "Pull idiot!" He pulled me,I pulled on Ally trying to get her over the 4 ft bathroom stall door. Eli pulled too hard,pantsing me. He laughed. "Edwards are you wearing a thong?" He said,his eyes stareing at my ass. "Now is not the time!" I yelled. Water was flooding everywhere. An officer walked in. "Uh this isn't what it looks like." I said. The officer saw Ally half way over the door. "Easy does it sweetheart. you're allright,you're allright." "Thankyou" Ally said.

'You couldn't of just picked her up?" I asked Eli. "I'm not that tall." he said. I pulled my pants up. We headed out the door,soaken wet.

"How did you know we were in trouble?" He scratched his head. "You were in the bathroom for almost a half an hour...That's not a reason for concern?" He said,getting in Morty. "Adam guess what,you're driving!" He rung his jacket out. We watched as a disaster relief truck pulled up with water pumps.

"Did...I do that?" Ally asked. I laughed. "It was an accident,and we're all okay." Adam found it hysterically funny. "Sorry..it's just you flooded a police station." he said,laughing in his beanie. "So Edwards where did you get that thong?" I covered my face. "How did you manage to pants me,pulling on my shoulders?" I threw a question back at him. He blinked his eyes lifting his eyebrows. "I've got skills." he said. I punched him. "So where are we...?" I asked. Fitz took out the map. "We need to find a bridge." "not again man." Adam said,laughing. He pulled into the street,still laughing. "Adam watch out you're gonna hit that...
