Thanks for the Review! Here's the next chapter! Sorry for the long wait!

Oh yes, the disclaimer!

I do not own Drake and Josh but a girl can dream!

Drake walked back in the house smiling. "Drake! Do you know how late it is? You have school tomorrow!"said Audrey.

"Yeah yeah sorry mom."said Drake. Josh looked up at him with his dark blue eyes angrily and turned back to the TV. Drake went upstairs and looked at Josh's dresser. He went through it again and took out the necklace studying it. "Where did Josh get this?"he asked himself. He searched through Josh's stuff some more. He found an old warn picture. There was a younger Walter who had his arm around a woman with light brown hair and dark blue eyes, Josh's dark blue eyes. Drake would guess that was Josh's mother. There was Josh who was short and bright eyed not a day over five years old Drake would guess. Next to him was a girl with light brown hair and the same blue eyes.

She looked about Megan's age, nine or ten and she was smiling too. Drake looked at the picture for a while. Who was the girl? did this mean Josh had a sister? And where was she? Who was she? He had to find out more! First a necklace than an old family picture? Drake went through Josh's stuff for about an hour when he was about ready to give up when he found a pistol. He stared at it shocked. He opened it to see if it was loaded. It was. Drake stared at it in horror. Why did Josh, who wouldn't hurt a fly have a gun? The door opened and Josh walked in. Drake screamed and dropped the gun,necklace, and picture quickly.

"DRAKE? what are you doing with my stuff?"Josh yelled.

"I was just looking..."Drake said. Josh picked up the necklace,picture, and gun. "Josh...WHY DO YOU HAVE A GUN?"yelled Drake.

"Shh." snapped Josh nervously.

"Why do you have a gun?"Drake whispered.

"For protection. Where we used to live their were always robbers and stuff. You can never be to safe."said Josh planting the gun under his bed.

"Where did you get the necklace?"asked Drake.

"It was my mother's..."said Josh quietly.

"Oh."Josh put the necklace back. "Where did you get the gun?"asked Drake.

"That was my mother's too."said Josh with a slight smile. Drake blinked. Josh was looking at the picture silently.

"is that your mom in there?"Drake asked.

"Yeah."

"Whats her name?"

"Laura."

"And who's that little girl?"

. "That's my sister Chrissy."

"How come we have never seen her?"

"Well after mom went to jail things were tough. She had to go live with granny than she ran away and I haven't seen her sense I was 6. I hardly remember her."said Josh looking sad.

"Wait wait wait wait-Your mom went to jail?"said Drake raising his eyebrows. Josh nodded.

"Yeah. Dad divorced her while she was in. She's in there for life..."said Josh.

"What did she do?"asked Drake a lump in his throat. Josh looked at Drake.

"I don't wanna talk about it."Josh muttered.

"Josh!"said Drake.

"Look I'm still mad at you! And you have no right to go through my stuff!"Josh snapped. "I'm going to bed."he muttered. Drake laid in bed eyes wide. What could have Josh's mother done to get in there for life? It must have been really serious! How could Josh who was so nice and goofy have a mother that was a criminal? It didn't make sense! Drake sighed. Maybe he didn't know as much about Josh as he thought he did. Then again Josh hardly knew anything about Drake's dad so it was pretty even.

The next day school was a nightmare. Josh wouldn't so much as look at him. Mindy sat next to them during lunch. "Hey Josh."she said giving him a smile. "Drake."she said.

"hi."Drake said pouting.

"So what have you two been up to?"asked Mindy.

"WE have been up to nothing because I want nothing to do with HIM!"Josh said.

"Drake did you make fun of Josh's dolls?"

"THERE ACTION FIGURES!"Josh cried in dismay.

"Josh has dolls?"questioned Drake.

"ACTION FIGURES!"Josh corrected. Mindy grinned.

"Mindy can I talk to you for a second?"Drake asked. Josh glared at Drake as he took off with Mindy.

"Alright so what did you do?"asked Mindy.

"Nothing!"Drake said. Mindy stared at him. "Well...look you don't need to know. But do you think you could convince him to talk to me?"Drake asked.

"Well to do that I kind of need to know what you did!"Mindy said.

"Well I sort of got drunk and terrorized him and Megan."Drake said. Mindy slapped him. "I guess I deserved that."He muttered. Mindy sighed.

"Did you apologize?"she asked.

"Well he's mad because I wont tell mom and dad."Drake said.

"Well tell your parents."said Mindy.

"Are you as insane as him?"

"No."

"If I tell them they will kill me!"

"I can only wish..."

"Thanks a lot crazy."Drake snapped and stormed out. Mindy smiled to herself.

After school Josh glared at Drake. Drake shook his head. He went into the kitchen to call Sam. He dialed the number she had given him. "Hello?"said a rough cold voice. Drake stared at the phone.

"Um is Sam there?"he asked. There was a short pause.

"IF IT'S A BILL COLLECTOR TONY I'LL SLICE OUT YOUR TONGUE YOU MAGGOT." Drake heard through the phone. Drake blinked. "Hello?"said the same voice sweetly into the phone.

"Is this Sam?"Drake asked.

"Sam isn't here right now may I take a message?"she said.

"Um tell her Drake called."Drake muttered.

"Drake? sure thing."said the woman again. He heard a loud noise over the phone like a balloon popping. "I have to go, goodbye dear."she said.

Before the phone line was disconnected Drake heard a male voice cry, "NUMBER ONE THERE ON TO US HURRY-" then the phone clicked and all was silent. Drake stared at the phone oddly.

"Whats up boob?"asked Megan walking into the kitchen as Drake hung up the phone.

"None of your business."Drake snapped.

"Did you tell mom and dad yet?"Megan asked.

"No."Drake said. Megan scowled at him and left. Drake went into the living room. Josh looked up at him angrily.

"Man you can't stay mad at me forever."Drake said.

"Yeah, until I die will work, or until you confess what you did!"

"Josh I am not telling them."

"Well you won't be talking to me than."

"I'm talking to you right now."

Josh blinked and turned to his video game. "Ha."Drake said. Josh didn't reply. "Fine be that way."Drake said. Later that night Drake didn't get a return phone call from Sam he was worried. His parents and Josh were watching the news.

"A new gang is in town and the members are responsible for several deaths. The police have located one of their hide outs and have caught one a man named Bert Baker who pleads non guilty. The only thing of value found at the base was a series of number written down perhaps a password...on other news a boy by the name of Scottie sent wild zoo animals free-" Drake ignored the news. How boring! How could his parents actually watch that crap? He walked up to his room. When he opened the door a pie flew in his face.

"MEGAN!"he yelled. He heard her evil cackling. Drake took a shower and began playing his guitar. "What should I do? Should I tell mom and dad?"he asked himself. A rock suddenly flew through his window with a note tied to it. Drake walked over to it curiously. on the front of the note in big black letters it said Drake. Drake opened it and started reading.

Drake,

it is Sam. Meet me at the movies tonight at 9:00. Sorry about the broken window.

Drake blinked. He fixed his hair a bit told his parents where he was going and headed for the movies. Josh scowled. "You know what I want to see whats so special about Sam I've seen the girl and she's good looking but Drake usually dumps them by now."Josh said.

"Maybe he's in love."said Audrey. Josh didn't like it. Sam was the one who got Drake to drink in the first place. He left after Drake.

Drake entered the movies where Sam was waiting. "Drake good to see you. Can I talk to you outside for a minute?"she asked. "Sure thing babe."Drake said taking her arm and the two walked outside. Drake rubbed his eyes he could have sworn he saw someone dive into the bushes. Sam lead him down a dark ally way Where a lot of people were waiting. "Um...Sam who are these people?"Drake asked.

Josh watched from behind the bushes as Drake followed Sam down the ally way. He didn't like it He saw a lot of people go down that ally and they all looked familiar. In fact some of them looked like the men on the wanted list part of the gang. "Oh know...Drake's in real trouble now."he muttered to himself. He should go get help. Call the police. "Wait...why should I? Drake didn't tell mom and dad about getting drunk. Why should I do anything for Drake?"Josh muttered angrily and with that he walked home.

Drake felt nervous as Sam didn't answer. He turned around to see he was cornered by muscular men. "I suppose you saw the news broadcast didn't you Drake?"asked Sam.

"News? Yeah I saw it what does that have to do with anything? It was something about a gang..."Drake said.

"A bit slow on the up take this kid is."muttered a skinny man with glasses.

"SHUT IT TONY!"snapped a woman with a cold voice.Who was in the shadows. Drake looked confused. "Whats going on?"He muttered. "Just do what we tell you Drake."said Sam pulling out a gun. Everyone else did also. "oh god..."
