Chapter 2
A/N: Well here's the second chapter…it took me awhile to get out and it's kinda rushed but I was on vacation :) and I didn't get a chance to write much. Anyways, here it is!

"Matt when are you going to learn to keep your mouth shut?" Tai laughed.
"Most likely never." He replied.
They slowed down and began walking at a comfortable pace. Tai looked around at his surroundings. They were in an alley a few blocks away from the boutique. It was cold, damp and eerily silent as they walked to the end. Tai gazed over at his boyfriend. Blood was trickling from his lip. He extended his hand and wiped away the blood with his thumb.
Tai had a concerned look on his face, "You okay?" He asked.
"Yah I'm fine it's nothing, really." Matt replied.
Their eyes met, and for a moment it seemed as if they were being drawn to each other. Before they knew it their bodies were pressed against each other and their faces were only centimetres apart. The sound of sneakers slapping against the cold, hard concrete broke the moment and Davis and Ken came into view. Tai and Matt instantly jumped back from each other and began walking towards the younger boys.
"Find anyone else?" Matt asked.
"Nope, just you two." Ken smirked, "Though I'm getting the impression you didn't want to be found."
Matt saw Tai's face turn crimson and he wondered if he was blushing as profoundly as his boyfriend.
"So…uh…what's the plan?" Davis asked to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Plan?" Tai replied densely.
He hadn't thought of that. He doubted any of them really thought of that. Dog-piling the two macho brothers had been a spur of the moment decision; they never really planned anything out.
Matt was also trying to think of an answer to Davis' question, but came up empty. He watched Tai's face scrunch up in a way that was impossible to any normal human being. Matt guessed this was the face he gave when he was deep in thought. It was a face that…well it was a face that he never hoped to see again.
"Tai?" He asked.
"Yah?" was the muffled reply.
"Don't think, it doesn't suit you." He joked.
Tai was thinking intensely, again, for a good comeback, but ended up swatting Matt on the arm instead. Faint voices were heard and the rest of the group turned up, minus Kari and TK. Out of nowhere, a plan began to materialize in his mind and he called the others over to share it with them. Once a few minor changes were made they set off to find Mimi and Joe who were missing. They turned right, then left, then right again. They ended up in another alley similar to the one they had started in only this one was different. Yes, definitely different. You see the previous alley did not contain, a now, very flushed TK and Kari.
"Whoa," Matt smirked, "are we interrupting something?"
TK's face immediately turned an odd shade of purple, and Kari seemed quite intrigued by her shoelaces.
"Oh…uh hi guys…" TK began, "um we were just about to look for you."
"Somehow I doubt that." Tai smiled.
His look suddenly turned sinister, "Now get off my sister."
"Tai-" Kari started, but was cut off when Tai pulled her away from TK.
Matt apparently had the same idea. He pulled TK aside by his ear and whispered in his ear: "I'm watching you like a hawk."
After a few minutes of silence everything was back to normal. They all set off for the boutique where it had all began. Matt and Joe hid behind a nearby dumpster. Matt's nose curled up at his surroundings. Tai and Davis were getting ready for their big debut and the rest remained hidden in the alley. Davis nodded his head slightly towards Tai, signalling that he was ready. He took a deep breath and they both sprinted towards the boutique.
"Hey you!" Davis shouted, "Yah you, yah big dumbie!"
Okay so he wasn't creative when it came to making fun of people but, it worked nonetheless. The bigger of the two men came bolting at him. Well, that is if you could call walking fast bolting. The other however, wouldn't budge. He was keeping his guard in front of their vans.
"Don't just stand there yah dolt!" Tai screamed, "Afraid of an 18 year old that's half your size?"
He let out a surprised yelp as this guy charged after him rather quickly. Good thing his soccer instincts were kicking in. Davis' seemed to be as well. He had his eyes closed, as if he was imagining that he was on a soccer field. He was so graceful looking, darting left and right and…ouch…straight into a pole. He sat up rubbing his head. A frighteningly feminine scream escaped from his lips and he jumped up before the other man could catch him. Meanwhile, Matt, Joe and the others were climbing into the vans and driving away.
Not long after, Tai and Davis had yet again lost the two men on their tails. They headed back to the alley they had started in and hopped into the awaiting vans.
Several minutes had passed and they were all debating on what they should do next. Matt, who said that his hair was beginning to wilt from all the pollution in the air, decided that they should find somewhere to crash for the night, that way he could fix his golden locks. They drove for a few minutes and reached a motel on the outskirts of town as the beginning of their first day began to end.
