The next day Angel nearly dropped the glass of water she was carrying when she saw Wolf standing in front of her, fully clothed, the sling still wrapped protectively around his left arm, his right arm setting his cap on his black hair, wincing as he bent down to tie his shoes. Behind him, standing nervously, were Snake and Spider, Slick, Raven, and Ross, leaning slightly on the tall Quincy. "What da heck does ya tink yer doin'?" Angel asked in disbelief. "Gonna go finish what I stawted. Good ting dey didn't take out me shootin' arm huh?" He asked with a smile.
Angel stormed over to him, her face red and angry. "Yer such an' idiot! You really tink you kin take him out afta dis?" She hissed. "Yeah actually I do. Ya kin tank yer brudda fer it too." Wolf answered easily. Angel was taken aback. "Me, me brudda?" She asked. "Yeah. He was da one dat tol' me 'bout da secret entrance inta da buildin' from da alley." Wolf said calmly, starting to walk away. Angel placed her hand on his chest, lessening pressure as Wolf winced. "Ya cain't do dis. Yer gonna kill yer boys. Look at 'em! Snake an' Spida jest got a bullet taken outta dey're legs! Same ting fer Ross! Raven got one dug outta his shoulda, an' Slick, Slick got one dug outta his foot! An' you, you got a bullet to da chest an' ta da left arm an' ya tink yer gonna let me let ya go? Are ya stupid?" She stormed.
Wolf smiled gently and placed his right hand on her face. "Yer so pretty when yer angry." He whispered. Angel blushed and turned her face away. "I tink you'll let me go, 'cause ya know I've gotta. Right?" Angel thought a moment, then nodded. "Don't worry. Dis'll woik. I know it will. Yer brudda's a great schema." He said quietly. "Lemme go witcha. Me an' me bruddas an' sistas. An' Jade too. She'll wanna help." Angel said determinedly. Wolf raised his eyebrows and glanced at his boys, then back at Angel. "I need ta do dis alone." He said. "But last time," Angel protested before Wolf placed his hand on her mouth. "Last time was a mistake. I ain't makin' no mistakes dis time. See ya." Wolf said firmly, but gently, giving her a small peck on the cheek as he brushed past her, motioning to his boys. The boys walked, some limped and leaned on another boy, but all the same, walked out of the building. Angel shook her head. "We gotta follow 'em. Dey cain't do it alone, no matta what Wolf says." She murmured. "An' if we do, we're in big trouble." Jade pointed out. Angel grinned as Jade's eyes began to twinkle. "An' I jest love gittin' in trouble." Jade said, a smile spreading over her lips.

Angel and Jade quickly slunk back to the alley where they had sat with the wounded boys only a few days before. As they made their way to the entrance of the alley, a small cough made them whirl around. They had expected a policeman or one of Wolf's gang, asking them what they were doing slinking about alleys. But what stood in front of them was two boys. Dodger and Falcon Kelly stood in front of them, Dodger's eyes fixed on them, Falcon's arms crossed cockily across his chest giving them a look reminicent of his father, Jack Kelly. "An' jest whaddya tink yer doin'?" Dodger asked. Angel smiled at Jade and put on her best secretive look. "Dodger Kelly. Yer far from home aincha?" She asked hintingly.
"We ain't gotta listen ta nobody Angel. We goes where we pleases." Falcon put in, his green eyes sparkling. "Dats mighty big tawk fer a four year old." Jade said with a smile. Falcon immediately puffed up his chest. "I may be small, but I kin fight. Fight real good. You seen me Angel." He protested. Jade grinned and shook her head. "Whaddya want you guys?" She asked. "We wanna make ya an' offa. Ya kin have our assistance in whateva yer 'bout ta do fer only half of what yer gittin' outta it." Dodger said seriously. Angel eyed him, her eyebrows raised. Jade laughed loud and hard. "Yeah right! Ya tink we's gonna take on little kids ta do doity woik?" She asked.
Dodger shook his head as Falcon's eyes flashed. "We's makin' ya's a good propastion Angel. But I'll woik witcha. How 'bout seventy-thoity?" He asked. Angel's eyes twinkled as she realized what Dodger was doing. "Naw, too high Kelly, too high. Sixty-forty?" She offered. Dodger shook his head. "Not good enough. Seventy-sixty an' dats me final offa." Dodger said firmly. Angel eyed Jade who nodded slowly. "Okay Kelly, ya gots a deal. What kin ya do best?" Angel asked.
Dodger breathed a sigh of relief, then put a serious expression on his face. "Well, me an' Falcon kin hide real good. We's good at hidin' in da shadows. An' we kin also make a scene so ya kin git ta where ya need ta." Dodger said seriously. "Yeah but kin ya git outta da way fast enough? We're tawkin' guys wit' guns here kid. Dis ain't gonna be no rompin' on da playgroun' here dis ain't." Jade said warningly. Falcon waved her warnings aside. "We kin handle it. We kin git outta anytin'. We ain't Kelly's fer nothin'." Falcon said proudly. Angel looked at Jade. "Well Conlon?" She asked. Jade smiled and turned to the boys. "Well Higgins, I tink we's got a deal. Okay kids, here's what ya do." Jade leaned down and whispered the plans in their ears.
