I was wrong for once and I should've known rides with Kenny and TJ are never quiet.
They started to play poker and Kenny was loudly accusing TJ of cheating. TJ was acting all shocked and the rest of us were laughing our heads off.
TJ and Kenny began to pretend to shoot each other with sticks and I groaned
"jezzus guys how old are you again?"
"two"
They chorused together
Me and Cass laughed. Sometimes I felt sorry for Daggers he was a cool guy and he kept us all together he was real tough but he and Dally they had basically been twins just like TJ and Kenny and just like me and Cass. I wondered how it must feel to be without your twin but then again Daggers never talked about anything like that so neither did we.
Well eventually TJ's shouts brought me out of my own little world and I noticed everyone had stood up to where TJ was I stood up too walking over. And there they were.
The two guys the one I rescued from the socs twice and the one who asked me about Dally earlier. They were asleep behind the feed bags. How they slept through that racket that TJ and Kenny had made I'll never know.
"should we wake 'em or kill 'em in their sleep?"
TJ asked with a grin pretending to reach for his blade I thawed him over the head
"aw leave 'em along TJ ya freak I know 'em a lil"
TJ sighed cause he knew that you couldn't kill no one that anyone in the gang knew who wasn't an enemy. It wasn't a written law or nuttin it was just part of this unspoken thing.
TJ and Kenny then proceeded to tackle me and wrestle me around a bit Daggers and Cass joined in Cass was on my team of course
TJ groaned when he saw her on my team
"come on now girls! It aint fair you always beat us!!"
Cass and me looked at each other and started laughing I think we all forgot about the guys behind the feed bags and all about Tulsa untill:
"who are these guys?"
I looked over to the feed bags where they had sat up Me and Cass almost laughed but knew better
We might not be allowed to harm 'em cause I said so but that don't me we can't scare 'em a bit I sighed a lil
"you, Kid have a very very bad memory My names Veeta or Veet I'm the one who made sure ya didn't get killed by the soc's those two times"
Suddenly I could tell he remembered the other kid too their eye give them away I decided their feelings are shown in their eyes bad thing for runaways real real bad thing.
I pointed my thumb towards Cass
"This is the infamous Cassandra But Cass to all ya'll Only I can call her Cassandra anyways she's my twin and Winston's real kid sister"
"what? Dally aint got no kid sister" the kid with the gray eyes asked me
And I sighed
"oh yea I forgot Dally don't talk about me no more"
Cass said bitterly
"sorry Veeta here she's an Idiot I'm his EX kid sister"
The gray eyed kid sorta grinned his little friend next to him didn't seem to happy about being on a train with a gang of new Yorkers but I tried to Ignore that
"the two idiots behind me are TJ and Kenny no one knows TJ's real name and he wont tell us Kenny's just a queer"
Kenny Tackled me and we began to wrestle so Cass finished The rest of the introductions
Which consisted of Daggers.
"this guy here he's daggers we don't know his real name either and we don't think he even has one so that's just" she shrugged a little
"his name what about you guys what's your names?"
Kenny had let me go by now and all the gang was sprawled around the car the two guys had sat on some feed sacks I went over next to daggers and sat down and he promptly put me in a head lock
"gee thanks daggers!"
I said he looked at me his mischievous grin on his face and tightened it saying
"shh I'm try'n to listen."
The guys were talke'n
"I'm pony boy" said the guy with gray eyes he seemed to be expecting someone to make some smart remark about his and when no one did he introduced his lil friend
"and this here's my buddy jonny"
"you guys runaways?"
Dagger asked pony boy and jonny looked at each other for a second jonny nodded some and said in a real quiet voice
"yea"
