The rest of the day went by really quick. I never said a word about Angel to any of the Ducks. It was still too early to tell them anything.

Charlie and Fulton smiled angelically at me and walked over. This could only mean one thing...

"We need cash."

I sighed, "Sorry guys, I'm fresh out too"

"Well, you know what you have to do," Charlie said, putting his arm on my shoulder.

I looked at him. There was only one person that could provide me with the green.

"Fine! I'll go home. But you guys are coming with me."

They grumbled but agreed. They did need the cash...

"Hey mum."

"Is forty bucks enough?"

"Perfect," I replied.

I gave her a hug as she handed me the money. We waved goodbye and reached for the door. If we hurried, she might not-

"Wait! Why don't you boys stick for dinner?"

Too late...

We looked at my mum's hopeful eyes and obliged. A wide smile spread across her face and she rushed into the kitchen.

We groaned. We all knew how 'good' my mum's cooking was. But it wasn't like we had a choice, she DID give me forty bucks.

"Come on, if we hurry, we can head down to McDonald's and still make it back in time."

We all nodded and quietly snuck out of the house.

It was like this every time. We would run to the nearest McDonald's, buy a burger, stuff it into our mouths and run back home. Then, during dinner, we would slip whatever food we could get our hands on, into the takeaway bag that we got from McDonald's. After that, we would give the food to the cats in the alley. So in a way, we're not really wasting the food.

Today was no different from any other day. But this time, my mum cooked her super famous, super special, super yucky schnitzel.

"Bye mum" I said and walked out of the house.

My mum waved goodbye to us and closed the door.

"Oh! Close one Spazway! You nearly got caught this time!" I said after my mum closed the door.

"No way! I was nowhere near getting caught! Right Fulton?"

But Fulton wasn't listening.

"Fulton? What's up?"

Fulton squinted his eyes for a moment. "Aren't those..." he mumbled. Suddenly, his eyes widened "It's McGill and Larson! And they're with some girl!"

I gasped. Oh no! Angel!

"A-are you sure? Maybe you're wrong, let's just go," I said quickly.

"Nope. It's them all right. Hey, I think they're here to harass you and your family, banksie! Come on Fulton!" Charlie said harshly and walked over to them.

"No! Don't!"

I tried to stop them but they were too set on pounding Larson and McGill.

McGill, Larson and Angel stopped in their tracks.

"Well, well, well. Look what the traitor dragged in." Angel said calmly.

"N-no! We were just leaving," I said, trying to push them away.

"Why? Are you scared?" McGill mocked.

Angel laughed and gave McGill a high-five.

Fulton yanked my hand away and cracked his knuckles.

McGill took a step back and gulped. He didn't want a repeat of 5 years ago. But Angel didn't budge, instead she remained firm.

"Ooh...tough guy. Go ahead, hit me!" She raised her chin bravely.

Fulton drew his fist but she showed no sign of fear, but continued to stay in her position. He facial muscles loosened.

"Can't do it can you? You can't hit a girl. You can't hit anyone. Pathetic!" she spat.

She looked at me angrily but no words came out of her mouth. She just shook her head in total disapproval and ran into her house.

"Angel, wait!" McGill glared at us and ran after Angel.

Larson just stood there, staring at the floor.

"We need to talk Banks..." he said finally, "...now"
