Chapter two – Running To Live.
"Ahh! You shot him!" Said one of the bosses henchmen. The other henchmen already running away.
"I...Didn....no..." Mumbled Mike as he looks in shock at the dead body on the floor. Blood was all around the body, and a bullet hole in the boss's head.
"Mike...." Said Jay as the other henchmen retreats after a few seconds of shock.
"I shot...him...I...killed..." said mike, slowly and still in shock. He put his hand down, the one with the gun, and just looked at the dead man.
"It...was self defence...don't worry Mike." Said James as now the blood has stopped but he is still holding his mouth.
"Self defence...he said...shot me....I had...I HAD ALL THE RIGHT TO KILL HIM!" Mike screams, both James and Jay become startled as he screams it out.
"Mike calm do..." Jay begins to say but than someone yells from the window.
"You god damn kids! You shot that kid!" screams a guy from a window three floors up from Mike's head.
"SHUT UP!" Says Mike as he raises his gun and shoots the bricks next to the window three times. The man jumps back into his house cursing out the three kids.
"Mike calm down, we have to go, the cops will be here!" says Jay, Mike than looks down and back up at Jay.
"Well what does it matter, I killed him, now that he is dead I'm going to jail...there is no helping it." Says Mike as he looks into Jay's eyes. Tear drops falling from his eyes.
"Wake up Mike! We got to go now! I'm too young to go to jail!" Screams James in a panic. Sweat is falling from his fore head.
"James fallow me, Mike you too! NOW!" screams Jay, and runs through an ally.
"Mike...please come..." James pleads but Mike just keeps on looking at the dead body.
"Come on James! Now get over here." Screams Jay. James looks one more time at his brother before running off down the ally.
"But Jay my brother!" Says James trying to find some sympathy in Jay.
"We can't do anything about it, he wants to stay. If he wants to leave he'll be there." Says Jay, and looks down to James, trying to cheer him up.
"Alright, but where is this place?" says James as Jay turns around to look on the block to see if there are any police.
"Where going to go into the sewers, follow me." Says Jay, and begins to run down the almost empty block, James trailing not too far behind.
"You sure we'll be safe?" James's voice says nervously.
"Just keep up with me and you'll be fine." Said Jay as they turn to the right and than reach the end of the block to go down another street.
"I hope my brother will be ok...he's the only family I really have that loves me." Thinks James but than before he could stop, he trips over a rock on the street and falls face first. He uses his hands to hit the floor so his face is safe, most of the pain is in his hands but some on the right side of his cheek.
"You ok?" says Jay as he trails back quickly to help James up.
"Yea...But my cheek is killing me again." Says James as they continue there trail.
"Come on the police aren't too far behind." Says Mike as he tries desperately to catch up with his friends.
"Brother! You finally snapped out of it!" says James as he is in enormous amount of joy.
"Glad you can make it, I was getting worried." Said Jay still running at top speed.
"Yea well I'm not going to jail yet, I'm only 17 after all." Says Mike as he puts a smirk on his face and keeps up with the other two.
"Yeah, I was so worried, if I lost you all I would have was Jay but who knew how long we could really last." Says James, who couldn't be anymore happier.
"Don't be so happy yet, we still got to make it." Says Jay. James and Mike now focus to make sure they keep up with Jay.
Jay turns the corner and begins to slow down his speed. "Well guys look like we made it." Says James cheerfully as they enter a sewer tunnel. Green gooey stuff was falling from it, mostly it was garbage. They begin there hike into the dark sewer.
"O God it smells like shit!" Says James as they are still walking into the dark tunnel.
"Shut up! We got to be quite." Says Mike as he scrawls as his brother.
"Listen we can't go any further, it's to dark." Says Jay, in an angry voice.
"Well that sucks, what do you want to do?" Says James "Is there any other place you know?"
"Not that will keep us safe, we need light." Says Jay sounding needy.
"Well I got a few matches left, only about four or five, is that enough?" says Mike trying to see anyone's face, but it's to dark.
"well it's better than nothing. Well get into the sewer as far as we can and than rest till the sun comes out." Says Jay as Mike scrambles in his pockets for some matches.
Mikes looks for James, grabs him and gives him the matches. James lights one of the matches up and everyone can see each other again. "Good, now we can move on, lets get going." Said Jay as they continue there march.
"It's so freaking hot." Says James as he wipes his hand on his fore head to take off the sweat.
"That's the last thing you should be worrying about." Says Mike as they continue to walk.
"well sorry, but it's only 90 degrees and were stepping in crap but no big deal." Says James Sarcastically.
"If you don't shut up and stop whining I'm make you stop." Says Mike in a harsh voice.
"Oh I'm so scared, kiss my ass." Says James with his smart remarks.
"You know what!" Mike turns around and grabs James by his collar. "Say another one of your smart ass remarks and I'll kill you myself."
"Shut up, the both of you, and Mike I need another match this one is going out." Says Jay.
Mike lets go of James and gets another match and passes it to Jay. "There only two left."
"Than you two stop and we should pick up the pace a little if you want to get deeper into this sewer." Says Jay as he looks back to make sure they stop fighting. He lights a new match and throws the other one into the pile of gooey garbage.
They all continue to walk for 5 minutes and by than they used another match. "Ya know something, how do we know what's in this gooey stuff, it can be toxic or something.
"Will you shut up, we have to sleep here anyway so get use to it." Says Mike as they try there best to keep up with a face pace, but the gooey stuff begins to get thicker.
"Is it just me or is this stuff getting harder to walk in?" Ask James
"For once you say something that I agree with, Jay this stuff is getting thicker." Says Mike.
"I noticed, lets get some sleep, get up on the sides." Says Jay. All three boys leap on to the side, Jay goes on the right and the two brother jump up onto the left.
"You know Jay, you saved our lives." Says Mike as he begins the conversation.
James yawns as Jay says no problem than begins to talk. "Yeah, we would have been in jail right now, thank god for you." Says James as he leans his head against the dirty black wall.
"Well lets get some sleep, we have to find another place, this can't be where we stay forever." Says Jay as he leans back and closes his eyes.
"Yeah, Maybe we could get first way tickets out of this hell hole." Says Mike, as he closes his eyes and smiles.
James is the first to fall asleep followed quickly by Mike. "God if you can hear me...don't let me die here...please." Thinks Jay before falling into a deep sleep.
The sun comes up and the rays reach out through the small city. The sun rays reach into the sewers, hitting the boys. Jay begins to open his eyes, he yawns than gets up onto the garbage and opens his eyes all the way and looks to his right to see a Boy no older than him point a gun at his head.
"Ahh! You shot him!" Said one of the bosses henchmen. The other henchmen already running away.
"I...Didn....no..." Mumbled Mike as he looks in shock at the dead body on the floor. Blood was all around the body, and a bullet hole in the boss's head.
