DISCLAIMER

Higher Ground belongs to Fox Family and Kyle belongs to Universal Pictures. I believe the gang belongs to Fox Family as well. But I think I own the girls.

Meanwhile, in Auggie's old neighborhood, his older brother Abraham "Abe" Ciceros was out running with his gang. They whooped and laughed.

"Oye! Abe!" a boy hollered. He and Abe slapped five.

"Oye, what's up tonight, huh?" Abe queried.

"Ah, nothin' much," came the reply. They continued to converse in Spanish. As they did so, more of their gang came up. The boys were greeted jubilantly. The girls came up and said something to their respective boyfriends that made them laugh. Abe grabbed his girl, pulled her close, and kissed her.

"Oh, Abe. Ai-yi-yi," she breathed. He chuckled derisevly. They kissed again. While this was going on, a long black car came out of nowhere. The car's passenger window rolled down. A boy around Abe's age was seen in the window.

"Oye! Abe!" he shouted. He turned around. Then, his eyes widened and he stepped back.

"No! No!" he cried. A shot rang out.
