Skittery's POV
I was out hawkin tha headlines with Bumlets because now I can't be left alone.
That trance thing was the stupidest idea anyone in the entire world has even come up with.
"Mayer caught in a hot affair!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as a few more people took papers.
"Yeah right." Bumlets said when they went away and we both laughed.
"Man I am tired." I said wiping sweat off of my forehead.
"Yeah me too." He said sitting down on the corner.
I sat down next to him and laid my papers down beside his.
"So what do you think about these trances?" Bumlets asked.
"I think that it was a stupid idea and now we're all in deep shit." I said.
"Yeah maybe someone can figure out how to beat whatever it is." Bumlets said.
"The only thing I can't figure out is the vision Jack had." I said. "It makes no sense."
"Yeah I know. What would possess you to do that I wonder." Bumlets said.
"Well I guess we're gunna find out soon." I said as I stood back up.
"I hope not." Bumlets said standing up and stretching.
"Yeah me too." I said as I looked for another headline I could 'improve a little.'
I was yelling my heart out when one man caught my eye. I stopped mid sentence as I watched him and then he looked over at me.
I felt like I knew him somehow.
I looked over at Bumlets and noticed he had noticed my change in demeanor.
"I think we should leave." I said and he nodded.
We began to walk away quickly and as I glanced over my shoulder I noticed he was following me.
"Run." I said grabbing Bumlets shoulder as I began to quicken my pace.
We began to run and turn corners to try and lose the strange man and when I looked behind me again I lost him in the crowd.
We ran for a little bit longer just to make sure and then turned into an alley.
"Man that was close." I said.
"Was that the guy from your vision?" Bumlets asked.
"Yeah I think so." I said huffing and puffing.
"Well we should go find Jack." He said bending over and leaning on his knees.
"Yeah who was he going to sell with today?" I asked.
"I think he was going with Mush and Blink." He said.
"Alright that doesn't help any. Where did he say?" I asked.
"I think he said he was gunna sell at Bottle Alley." He said and we took off.
It was a good 10 minutes from Bottle Alley and all I could do right now is pray that he was there.
Someone bumped into me and made me fall down. Bumlets didn't notice and in seconds he was lost in the crowd.
It was lunch time so the crowd was bigger than normal.
I got up and stretched my neck as high as I could to try and find Bumlets but I couldn't.
"Bumlets!" I yelled but still nothing.
Just then I saw the guy again for a split second but then he was gone as fast as he appeared.
"Damn I hate this crowd." I said.
I looked for a few more minutes for any sign of Bumlets or the man.
Then a chill went up my spine as I turned around and was face to face with the strange man.
I was about to turn and run when he grabbed my arm and pulled me really close to him.
He was breathing very hard and smelled really bad.
"Don't even think about it." He said and then I noticed he had a gun at my stomach.
His breath had a stench like no other and it made me was to drop to the ground.
"You're coming with me." He said.
I knew the anger was evident in my face because he laughed and slapped my face softly and told me that I was a good kid.
"What do you want?" I asked trying not to punch him in his ugly face.
"You'll see." He said as he put me in front of him and pushed me with his gun.
I thought someone would notice but everyone was way too busy with their own business to notice I was in deep trouble.
This could not be good.
AN: Woo hoo! Cliff hanger baby! Well tell me what you think. Please REVIEW!
