Chapter 6-A past catching up

-No One's P.o.V-

"Dallas, you sure about this?" Two-Bit asked looking doubtfully at the other boy as a bunch of hoods circles around them, heaters clearly in view.

Two-Bit gulped. It wasn't that he couldn't fight, but heaters lessened anyone's chance at victory, or even life. He had gone that road before and it almost costed him his family's life. He wasn't too fond of the idea of guns after that.

"Mighty brave of you to come 'round here Dallas," A boy with dirty blonde hair and similar cold blue eyes like Dally sneered.

Dally inwardly flinched at his full name, but kept a cool exterior as he fought to remain calm.

"Awww, Matt, you didn't miss me?" Dallas asked sarcastically.

"What do you want Dally?" Matt said noticing one of his boys getting restless as he played with his gun's safety. (A/n: Did guns have safeties back then?)

Two-Bit's heart was racing despite the cool collective front. The guys that circled around them looked 10 times worse than the Shephard's gang drunk. Dally's crazy for ever hanging out with these hoods. Seeing how Two-Bit had grown up in the dumps of Tulsa he knew how to distinguish a hood and a grease. These people were lower than hoods.

"You guys are after Gabe. Why?" Dallas asked stepping in front towards Matt.

Dally's mind was racing trying to control ever action. He knew if the slightest suspicion arose, both him and Two-Bit would be dead meat. He didn't mind if it was only him that would get hurt, but Two-Bit had a mother that cared and a sister that worried.Two-Bit had a family. Dally inwardly cursed as he realized his only family had a looming death sentence and he had to fix it before anything happened.

"Dallas he killed Vin's little brother and cousin. You really think Vinny is going to let that slide? Afterall you were the one who gave Vin the spot as our gang leader," Matt said a smirk forming on his lips as Dallas gave him a death glare.

"Our?!" Two-Bit asked snapping his head at Dally.

"He means his. Why are you all taking some orders from a kid? Besides, we all had a deal. I get rid of Vin's older brother and you guys pretend Gabe and me never existed," Dal said his voice dangerously low.

Matt now stepped up to Dally meeting him so they were both face to face feeling each other's warm breath. Neither dared back down.

"Don't you want justice Dallas? He killed your mother," Matt said searching Dally's eyes for any flash of anger.

If possible, Dally's eyes got even colder as he replied, "Our mother. Don't you dare deny that."

"WHOA! Our?" Two-Bit echoed. "Sheez, talk about your sibling rivalry."

"Shut yer trap Two-Bit," Dally said harshly.

In any other situation Two-Bit would have defended himself, but when he saw the death glares everyone was shooting him, he thought better of it and kept his mouth shut.

"You're jealous of him aren't you, Matt?" Dallas asked out of nowhere. He smiled knowing he had hit a nerve when Matt backed up a little. "Over the fact he got to kill the old hag of an excuse of a mother we had. Why ARE you always jealous of the kid huh? Don't you think you should be nice to family sometime? Maybe then he'll care if your six feet under."

Matt backhanded Dally causing him to stumble back. However, Dally let out a cold laugh shaking his head making Matt push him harder to the ground.

"You watch your words you stupid piece of shit!" Matt said causing Dally to casually roll his eyes as he got up.

"You're really stupid aren't you Matt? You think he'll keep you around after he kills Gabe? With me gone, you needed someone to replace me. Gabe always was a good hunter. You saw too when we used to go on hunting trips. He had a good eye. Would have made for a good hit man. Then again, Gabe don't trust much. He trusted you though, so Vinny agreed for you to train with him and even initiate him into the gang. And look, that's two brothers that betrayed this gang. You really think they'll wait around for you to betray them too?" Dally asked speaking the truth causing people to whisper amongst themselves.

Knowing he had hit a nerve Dally continued. "Technically speaking, he is blood too. Can you do it Matt? Try on me. How faithful are you to your little gang. Shoot me, stab me, beat me to a pulp. I won't try and stop you, and he won't try either," Dally said pointing at Two-Bit. "You know I could easily kill the kid if I wanted to. But you, no, you can't hurt blood no matter how much you wish they weren't. So let's see it big guy! Show us you got the balls and kill me. Right now," Dally said as he took out the switch he was carrying and threw it on the ground besides Matt's feet.

Two-Bit looked bewildered. "HOW THE HELL IS THIS HELPING US?" Two-Bit screamed as Matt grabbed Dally his fist high in the air ready to hit Dal. Two-Bit started to walk over to help Dally, but Dal put his hands up stopping him.

"No, don't bother. He can't do it," Dally said almost daring the older boy to hit him.

After what seemed like hours Matt just threw Dallas to the ground causing another wave of whispers to go around the circled group. "Don't tempt me Dallas," Matt whispered.

"So you going to let Vinny kill Gabe?" Dally asked knowing he had won.

"Yeah," Matt said his normally dangerous edge back in his voice.

"We'll see. Bye Matt," Dallas said heading towards the car passing a very confused Two-Bit.

Two days ago Dallas wouldn't flinch if he saw Pony die in his arms, but yet here he was two days later with a past that seem to be catching up with him.

Dallas started the car and was about to speed off when he saw Matt walking towards the car. He rolled down the window and by now Matt's little group was huddled together in little bar they were originally in leaving Matt the only one outside.

"Oh and Matt. You may not have the balls to kill me, but remember this, if anything happens to my kid brother, I will kill you," Dallas spat causing Matt to gulp.

"Get out of here," Matt said.

Dally gladly obliged as he floored the pedal sending the old car squealing out of the parking lot and back onto the road. Once safely on the road Two-Bit loosened up and let out the breath he had been holding since Dallas started the car.

"Two-Bit I thought you were tougher than that?" Dallas said smirking.

"Hey. Who says I'm not tough?" Two-Bit asked defensively sending Dally in a bitter laugh.

"You looked like you were about to piss your pants."

"Shut your trap. I don't get it. Why was going there such a good idea. All you did was annoy the hell out of your brother. Which by the way I didn't know you have," Two-Bit said quickly changing the subject.

"Sure we did," Dally said turning on the road the Curtis' house resided on.

He stopped the car once again leaving a confused Two-Bit alone in his thoughts as he stepped out and started to the house. Two-Bit quickly got out and followed almost tripping when Dally stopped at the top of the stairs.

"What was th..." Two-Bit stopped when he noticed Dally pull out a piece of paper from his coat pocket. "Where'd you get that?"

"Matt slipped it in," Dally answered slowly opening it as if it would break if he did it too fast.

A/N: Well what do you think? I'm sorry I couldn't update. Fanfix wasn't working for me last night. And well you know I work at night so yeah. I just decided to post it later but then my computer shut down before I had a chance to save it. What do you think? I'm done with this chapter. Do me a favor and help me reach my goal of 100 reviews halfway through the story. I'll be so happy if you guys do that for me. thanx
