DON'T OWN JL.
Wally watched as Kyle pulled up in his green sports car in front of him,
" C'mon, we're gonna be late!" Wally grinned and hopped into the passenger's seat. He was wearing a pair of loose fitting jeans and an over sized sweater, so he could conceal his gun and knife. Kyle was wearing tighter jeans with a button up shirt that he left open with a white one underneath. Unlike Wally's red hair, Kyle's was spiked with care. Wally wrinkled his nose,
" A little to much Old Spice, Kyle." Kyle laughed as he turned down the street,
" Better to stink well then to just stink." Both teens laughed. Kyle parked his car into the overcrowded lot. Wally exited the car first and took a look around,
" Something wrong?"
" No. Let's get inside. It's cold." They walked into the warehouse, nearly being blinded by the disco lights and deafened by the blasting music. Kyle nudged Wally and pointed over to the pair of girls, who were waving at them. Pushing and elbowing their way over, they waved back at them,
" Hey Selena." Selena was wearing a short pink skirt and a black with silver trim top. The older girl stood up and pulled them both into a hug,
" Glad you guys could come." She yelled over the music. Kyle had already moved past her and helped the other girl out of the booth. She took his hand politely, but her gaze never left Wally. Selena pointed at her friend,
" This is Linda." Wally grinned and Kyle released her hand,
" Wanna dance?" She nodded and followed Wally to the dance floor. Kyle snorted,
" Some guys got all the luck." Selena punched him in the shoulder,
" Hey! I'm still here!" He rubbed his arm and grinned. With a sweeping bow he took her hand,
" May I have this dance, Milady?" Selena giggled,
" Yes you may. Let's hit it." She led the way to where Wally and Linda had gone.

The music had slowed down a bit and Wally and Linda had a chance to talk,
" I've seen you before." Wally raised an eyebrow,
" You have?" She nodded, her ponytail swishing with the movements,
" Yup. You were over at Selena's a few times. I live by her." Wally's mouth went into the 'oh' shape before he grinned. Wally glanced at Kyle, who was waving them over to a table in one of the quieter areas. They sat down, with Wally and Kyle on the edges of the booth. Kyle slid Wally a beer and held up a card when he saw his friend's quizzical look,
" Fake id, dude." Wally grabbed the beer and sniffed it. He pushed it back to Kyle,
" You have it. I promised John I wouldn't drink."
" One beer isn't gonna hurt."
" That's what you said after graduation. Man, I thought John was gonna toss me out the window." He winked at Linda, who giggled. Kyle took the drink with a smile,
" More for me, then."

They all sat together, talking about the fixes Wally and Kyle used to get in at school.
" So, Wally is getting the answers to the test and I'm standing guard—"
" 'Cause he was too chicken to help me."
" Anyway. The principle comes up and I run to get Wally just as he was coming out—"
" We crash and all the papers go flying—"
" The principle walks up to us and she looks down and says—"
" I'm going to kill you!!!" Both Kyle and Wally stopped laughing. They looked over at the bar. Two guys were circling each other, ready to fight. Kyle muttered, " Oh shit." As many people stopped dancing to go and help their friends.
Selena gripped Wally's arm, " We should get out of here."
One man grabbed and empty bottle and broke it against a table. It was easy to see the separate groups forming, they began jeering and taunting each other. Knives and other sharp objects were appearing in people's hands. Linda whimpered and Selena placed a comforting hand on her shoulder,
" Don't worry. The bouncers will be here soon and they'll all get kicked out." Kyle watched as the group of security workers came up onto the growing group. They seemed to listen to the shouting then they broke off to talk amongst themselves. Their conversation grew louder and more heated until they stormed away from each other and joined the still growing groups.
Now, even Wally was starting to grow nervous. He gripped the handle of his gun and then decided to go for his knife. He kept it folded and slipped it into his sleeve. Kyle, noticing his actions, began to walk away from the bar,
" I guess we'll take the backdoor."

One tattooed girl was shoved into the middle of the circle by the group and upon seeing her; the first man swung the broken bottle and caught her across the face. Instantly her friends jumped the man, causing his friends to start fighting. The small fight quickly escalated into a riot and the few bouncers, who had not bothered earlier, rushed over to break the group apart.
Selena was leading Linda to the door while Kyle and Wally walked backwards, to keep an eye on the crowd.
They reached the parking lot without much incident.
" Well, that was a waste of a good night." Kyle's cell phone went off and everyone around was treated to a beeping version of
' Lean Back',
" Hello?" A loud female voice could now be heard, " Jade? No party died early, I'll swing by later, though. Yeah, alright…See ya later."
Wally laughed, " And the leash is pulled." He dodged Kyle's fist. People were now pouring out of the warehouse.
In the crowd Wally could see Rodrigo leading the tattooed girl over to them. He was yelling at her and holding a cloth to her face,
" Of all da stupid, idiotic moves. Ya coulda gotten killed." He looked up at Wally,
" Heya kid." Wally nodded, respectfully, " Looks like you two had da sense to get outta dare. Dis one," He pointed to the girl,
" Was just about to get her throat ripped out."
Linda made a small gasping noise. Selena and Wally both looked at each other, Kyle began to take Linda back to his car to get a spare jacket for her.
" I didn't know that you were coming to this party, 'Rigo." Rodrigo shook the girl softly,
" I was comin' ta pick her up. Her sista is on da warpath." He let her go and turned to face Wally better, " You ready for tomorrow?" Wally cocked an eyebrow,
" Tomorrow? What's going on tomorrow?"
Rodrigo looked as if he had placed his foot in his mouth.
