Hey guys! I didn't think I'd update until like at least two weeks. My play opened on Wednesday and I had a performance on Thursday. And I'm just so crazy right now. But I didn't go to school today, so I'm taking this time to update.
That night, Blade, Matt and Dally were at Blade and Matt's house just hanging around, reminiscing old times. By then, everyone knew why Dally had left New York. The phone rang and Blade got up to answer it.
"Yeah?" She said into the phone.
"Is that the way you greet your leader?" A familiar voice answered her.
"Riff!" She said happily.
"Hey, kid. How's going?"
"Okay." She answered. "It's just really boring!"
"I know." Riff chuckled. "You can come home soon. We just need to wait 'till we beat the Hawks. Especially after that stunt you pulled." He added pointedly.
"He had it coming!" Blade defended herself. Riff chuckled again.
"I know, I know." He said. "I'll call you when we know the date for the rumble, so you can come fight. And when we win, you can come back home."
"Cool! Can't wait!" Blade said happily. "So how is everyone?"
"Everyone's good. Baby-John got jumped though, yesterday." He added. Baby-john was the youngest member of the gang.
"Damn. Did you guys catch whoever it was?"
"Yeah. A-rab and Action did. They really roughed those Hawks up."
"Good." Blade said.
"Well, anyway, I'm coming down to Tulsa. I'll be there in two days."
"Sweet!" Blade said. But that wasn't what she felt. She was happy, she missed Riff, he was like a brother to her. All her gang, the Jets were. But the saying was "Jet all the way." This meant you were part of the gang until you died. Dally was still part of the gang. Riff was really mad after he left. What would Riff do to him?
"Yeah. Well, I gotta go." Riff said. "Tell your brother I say hi, and I'll see you later." They hung up. Blade turned around to tell Dally and Matt the news but instead found a note.
"Blade-
We went to the Curtis house. Meet us there when you're off the phone.
Matt."
She hadn't even noticed them leave. She left the house and went next door.
"Hey." Matt said. He was sitting on the floor playing poker with Dally, Two-bit and Steve. She sat down.
"What'd Riff say?" Matt asked.
"He's coming down…" Dally's face all of a sudden held slight fear.
"Riff's coming?"
Oh, by the way, I forgot to say earlier, this is becoming a slight crossover with West Side Story. But don't worry; you don't have to have seen West Side Story to understand the future chapters. So what do you think? It's definitely not my best…It isn't good. Well, tell me what you think.
