Ha, a record! Three in one day...and a long one at that...so I think this is the longest chapter that I've posted. It's like 11 pages in Word! but I hope you enjoy...
Thanks to all my peoples who review!!!
And to ducky who let me beat the crap out of her for this chapter!!!
Over the next few days everyone was adjusting to the situation with Skittery, and I was still pleading with my dad to let me go out on Wednesday for Mouse's birthday.
"Her birthday is tomorrow!" I said.
"And you're grounded!" my dad countered.
"What about that rule that if we already promised to do something before we were grounded we could still go? I told her a month ago that I would be there and a lot of the people she had going have backed out!" I pleaded.
"Who's going to be there?" my dad said with a sigh.
"Um, Bumlets, Media, Mush, Spot, Ace, Spades, Skittery, Dodger, Blink and Jack."
"Sounds like a healthy amount of people." My dad said.
"Yeah almost all of which are from this family, or at least connected with them!" I said putting on my puppy dog face.
"Oy if it will wipe that look of you fine go!" my dad said throwing up his hands.
"Thank you Daddy!" I said hugging him.
"You're welcome." He said grudgingly.
"Can I call some people to help me decorate the house?" I asked.
"Whatever." My dad said. "Why is it so hard to ground you?"
"Because I'm 21, and really, you shouldn't be grounding a 21-year-old." I pointed out.
"And if she acted like a 21-year-old, I wouldn't have had to ground her." My dad said with a kind glare.
"Her boyfriend just got kidnapped, give me a break!"
"I am."
"Did I mention how thankful I am for that?"
"Just clean up after you're done." My dad said turning into his office and shutting the door.
I quickly got on the phone and called Ace and Media to help me decorate and they said they'd be over in a minute. While I was waiting for them to show up I grabbed the decorations out of the back closet where we stored them. I was starting to sort everything when I heard the doorbell ring.
"Coming!" I yelled walking toward the door. I opened it to find Blink and Jack standing outside.
"What are you two doing here?" I asked.
"BLINK!" Dodger cried running past me.
"That explains it." I said sarcastically as I went back to decorating.
"Do ya need some help Angel?" Jack asked walking into the living room where I had everything spread out on the floor.
"Um yeah help would be good." I said absently.
"Whaddaya need me ta do?" he asked.
"When the time comes reach the high places, since we're all short." I said looking at what I wanted to put up. After deliberating until Media and Ace got there, we finally set about putting the decorations up.
"Stop you little monster!" I heard Dodger shout from the kitchen.
"What's going on in there?" I yelled at her.
"Dodger is being mean! Media proclaimed.
"What is going on?" I asked partially not wanting to know.
"She hid the coffee and I need it." Media replied shortly." Even though I promised to clean it up if I spill."
"You don't need it, it isn't healthy." Dodger said taking on the big sister role much to the distaste of Media.
"Yeah Media, ya get a lil wiehd when ya have da coffee." Jack commented smiling.
"Whatever punk, but no I seriously need the it like right now!" Media said getting testy.
"Dodger give her the coffee." I said after walking into the kitchen and seeing the look on Media's face.
"Fine." Dodger said grudgingly.
"YAY!!!" Media shouted with glee when Dodger handed her the container.
"For da love of God no!" Blink yelled as he grabbed it and ran out of the kitchen right behind him.
"Um, we'll let them do whatever, but I want to decorate now." Ace said playing with the streamer.
"Good idea." Jack said looking out the door that Media had chased Blink out of.
"Oh, my poor baby…" Dodger said as we heard a thud against the side of the house.
"What was that?" Ace asked.
"Knowing Media, it was Blink getting tackled into the house." I said absently.
"But…" Dodger said rising to go save Blink.
"Dodger, you've known Media longer than you've known Blink, he'll be fine." I said trying and failing to be comforting.
"Isn't that why she should be worried?" Spades asked walking downstairs.
"She's gonna kill him!" Dodger exclaimed as she dashed out the door.
"And good luck with that." I said to the slamming door.
"Media's not insane, is she?" Jack asked.
"No, you just have to know how to handle her." I smiled.
"Which no one does but you and Mush." Spades said smiling.
"What can I say, I'm around her more than you guys are." I stated.
"Dat is true, I'se noticed dat." Jack commented as Blink, Dodger and Media traipsed into the house.
"Media is Blink in one piece?" I asked.
"Barely!" Dodger answered for her,
"I barely had him in a chokehold." Media said trying to defend herself.
"Blink what did you learn from this?" I asked him.
"Not ta take Media's coffee." He coughed.
"Good boy. Media come help us decorate." I said pushing her inside the living room.
"Can I make a pot real quick?" She asked cradling the coffee like a baby.
"Yes go make your coffee." I said as the rest of us started to hang the decorations up.
After we finished that we put some pizza in the oven and popped in a movie to watch. Unfortunately I didn't really like one they picked so I began to drift off. Then to top it off Jack began to run his fingers gently over my lower arm.
"Hehe." I giggled softly. I fell deeper into sleepy land while he continued running his fingers on my arm.
"Wake up stink butt!" I heard before someone pounced on me.
"Get off me!" Jack called out at the culprit.
"Ow, who did that?" I said rubbing my head since they hit it with theirs.
Ace and Media looked at us with beaming grins from where they were laying on top of Jack and me. I looked at Jack for a second, and he seemed to be reading my mind, so together we shoved them off onto the floor.
"Ha, take that!" I said triumphantly.
"Ok." Media said jumping back on me.
"Ugh," I groaned as she knocked the wind out of me.
"Dodger, come tickle her, while I've got her pinned." Media yelled.
"Oh no," Jack winced.
"Why are you wincing, they're wanting to tickle me!" I said, right before they attacked.
"Ya fling ya elbows when people tickle ya, which means me ribs ah gonna be bruised tamarrah." He said.
"Sorry, I'll try to aim away from you." I said as Dodger pounced.
"Hehe." Dodger and Media laughed as I squirmed trying to get away from them. Finally I was able to get out from their tickle attack and fight back since Media wasn't sitting on me.
"Pizza's ready!" Blink called from the kitchen.
"YAY food!" I cried hopping up and running to eat.
"Did someone say pizza?" Spot asked appearing on the staircase.
"SPOT!!!!" I said in a very hyper manner.
"Yeah, ya okay Angel?" He asked.
"Great, giddy even." I giggled.
"Spot!" Ace said pushing her way through the crowd.
"Ace, when did you get heah?" Spot asked.
"Oh, Angel called me over to help decorate for Mouse's birthday tomorrow." She said standing next to him.
"What ya invite everyone ovah ta help decahrate and ya don't get me."
"One you don't like decorating, and two I only invited Ace and Media. Dodger called Jack and Blink." I said.
"Heck all we need is Skittery and we've got everyone!" Dodger laughed.
"You forgot Mush!" Media said.
"I'll go call them!" Spades said racing to the phone.
"Leave Skits alone, he needs time with his family, but go call Mush." I whispered, catching her as she flew by.
"But…" She started to protest.
"Spades, if you had just gotten kidnapped wouldn't you want some time with us?" I asked.
"Yeah, I guess." She said crestfallen.
"You'll see him tomorrow."
"Yeah, I'll call Mush." She said heading to the kitchen.
"Have Mush pick up Bumlets!" Ace called from the hall.
"OKAY!" Spades called back.
Mush and Bumlets showed a little while later up to hang out with us.
We planed out the events for tomorrow and decided that we would go out to eat after going to the movies and then after dinner we would come back to the house. We played board games until my mom came downstairs and told us we had to go to bed. I went to bed that night in anticipation of the next day.
The next day crept by slowly until evening hit and everyone went over to Mouse's house to "kidnap" her.
"Surprise!" I sang as we walked in Mouse's front door.
"Hey guys, what are ya'll doing here?" She asked.
"We, Mouse dear, are 'kidnapping' you." Spades said shooing her towards the front door.
"What?"
"It's your birthday and we are all taking you out." Dodger smiled.
"Oooh fun!" She said as she leaped into Purity's backseat.
"Yes and the festivities begin with the theater!" Media said climbing in after her.
"What are we going to see?" Mouse asked.
"The Guardian, the guys said it was good, so I'm trusting them." I laughed.
We all headed to the theater and piled out into the parking lot.
"I always wondahed how many goils could fit inta da backseat of a Volkswagon." Skittery laughed as we all headed in their direction.
"Bumlets, go say hi to your girl!" Mush said pushing him toward us.
"Happy Birthday!" Bumlets said hugging Mouse.
"Thank you Sugar Butt." She smiled.
"EW, TMI!!!!!" shrieked Spades.
"It's not like you don't do it!" Ace said.
"Not in front of everybody!" Skits answered for her.
"Aw, they're so conservative!" Media said cuddling up to Mush. I specifically tried avoiding Jack because the last time something like this happened we ended up dating, and yet I ended up sitting next to him in the movie.
Midway through the movie, Spot started complaining that he was hungry. So after the movie ended we headed to Chili's. We waited for a minute while they put the tables together for us. After we ordered Skittery got bored so he started throwing napkins around, a couple of them went to other people's tables which was rather embarrassing.
"Stupid kids." A gruff voice said.
"Does that one look familiar?" His friend said looking at Skittery.
"The one with the curly hair?" the first one asked.
"That's the one."
"That's the little brat that escaped the other day!" the first one gasped in recognition.
"Keep it down."
"So we gonna grab him again?"
"I dunno, let's see where they go later."
"Let's grab the girl, they're easier to handle."
"Which one?"
"The redhead."
"The one walking with the brunette to the bathroom?"
"Yeah that's the one." Just then the brunette pushed the redhead into the wall and she responded by hitting her in the arm. The two continued to roughhouse until they were out of sight in the restrooms.
"You sure a girl will be easier to handle?"
"Never mind."
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom too." Dodger said getting up.
"What is it with girls going to the bathroom together." Bumlets asked.
"Shut up," Ace said kicking him under the table.
"Ow my shin!" Bumlets said.
After dinner, we hopped back in the cars and headed to my house. Once there it was a sugar fest of chaos. As the boys got more hyped up on sugar, they decided to play shoe football with one of my shoes.
"Will you give me my shoe back?" I asked from the front door.
"Jack go long!" Blink said throwing it to him.
"Give it back!" I said charging Jack.
"I got her!" Spot said tackling me.
"Get off of me you big oaf!" I yelled.
"What did ya say Angel?" Spot smirked.
"Dogpile!" Bumlets yelled.
"Oh no!" I whined, having Dodger and Media on top of me was one thing, having 6 boys was a completely different thing.
"You guys are gonna crush her!" Media called.
"Bumlets and Spot are the only two on her." Mush said.
"I can taste my spleen!" I croaked.
"Ya want us ta get off Angel?" Spot asked.
"Ya think?" I said gasping for air.
"Okay Bumlets, get off." He said.
"Quick Mouse get the camera." Bumlets called.
"Bumlets, get off now, before I bite your ankle!" I said from the ground.
"Just wait a sec!" he said.
"What part of I CAN'T BREATHE ARE YOU NOT GETTING?!"
"Okay I got it!" Mouse said snapping the picture.
"Get off!"
"Okay Angel we'se getting offa ya." Spot said pushing up.
"Oh thank you God!" I prayed.
"Drama Queen!"
"I thought that we had established this already." I said standing up and snatching my shoe back from Jack.
Hours later everyone went home and I crashed. The next few days went by incredibly well, with Jack and I getting along better and me getting ungrounded. I woke Friday to the phone ringing.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Get up Spot's in trouble." Blink said.
"What?!" I asked leaping out of my bed.
"He was just grabbed by some guy now they're heading down Yale."
"Where do you want us to meet you?"
"Not sure just start heading that way, and call whoever has a car to start moving that direction."
"Ok, we're on our way." I said grabbing clothes, my keys, and Dodger and I went to the school to grab Spades and Skittery. By this time we had been joined by Ace, Mouse, and Bumlets, they all piled into Ace's car while I called Media and Mush to let them know what had happened, they met up with us and we all started toward Yale. As we got closer I called Blink to see where they were.
"We're still on Yale, we just passed Sherridan Street."
"Ok, we're almost there. I've got everybody else either with me or following."
"Hey Blink, dey just pulled inta dat abandoned warehouse." Jack's voice said in the background.
"Ok, Angel, just after Sherridan, there's a Conoco station, we'll be in there." Blink said.
"Ok, Be there in a minute." I said grimly.
We drove along hastily until we reached Jack and Blink.
"What are we going to do?" Ace asked, panicking.
"Go get 'im?" Jack offered.
"Hell yeah we're gonna get him back!" I said anger rising inside of me.
"I'm gonna go call the cops now so that by the time we get done kicking their asses, they'll be showing up." Media said.
"I think we should pair off, so that one person doesn't get jumped." Mush said.
We moved towards the building silently surrounding it. Jack and I crept into the building and proceeded down a hall. I heard a man walking towards me so I hid around the corner and jumped him when he came and put him in a chokehold.
"What the !" he shouted before punching me in the gut and getting free. "Girl what are you doing in here?"
"You have my brother." I growled.
"Previously or now?" he mocked.
"Now!"
"Oh the Conlons, two of you means more money for me." He said as we circled each other. My anger was mounting and he must of seen it on my face cause he said "Your brother had fight in him too, till we beat it out of him." I charged him and he got me in a chokehold with immense speed. He held my throat tight with his right arm but I managed to wriggle over so that he was holding me with his left arm so I could wiggle out of it. Once free I kicked him in the balls and as he kneeled over in pain I brought my fists together and brought them down hard on his back. He then turned on me with viciousness in his eyes and as I rushed him he grabbed my throat, tripped me, and pinned me on the floor in one big blur. He loomed over me for a moment.
"Get off of me!"
"Why?" he asked just as Jack came out of nowhere and kicked him in the back sending him sprawling.
"That's why." I said stomping on his throat and holding it there. He then grabbed my ankle and twisted it and he scrambled up. He then threw one of the hardest right hooks I had ever felt right on my lip. I felt the blood begin to flow and wiped it off with my hand.
"Your boyfriend is getting his head smashed in. Just like your brother, and just like you." He said smiling before I kicked him the balls once more. I unleashed my fury upon him as I punched him in the face and gut and again to the face. He stood stunned for a moment so I finished the fight with a round house to the head that had him unconscious by the time he hit the floor. I then look ed over at Jack and saw he was getting the crap beat out of him. I rushed over as I picked up a board and smashed over his attackers head giving Jack time to finish him off.
JACK'S POV
I'se walked in wid Angel and right away she went off explorhin. I lost hah cause I didn't see which way she went so I whandad around lookin foh hah. I came up on hah just in time ta see some smuck pinnin hah on da ground so I'se ran up and kicked him as hahd as I could in da sides. Dat got him off hah so I backed off to monitah the fight and was getting reahdy ta intervene when I felt ah ahm come across me throat and somebody grabbed me bicep.
"Let me go." I warhned.
"You aren't in any positions to be making demands." he said befoh I elbowed him in the gut and threw him over my shoulder. He landed wid a thud and I stepped hahd on his ribs while sayin "Now I am." Den da bahstahd punched me in me groin and dat backed me off him in a hurry. He sprang to his feet and we walked into each other punching da oddahs head and stomachs. Then I snapped kicked him which only made him mad cause he came at me fists flyin. I got backed against a wall and crumbled to the floor as he kept kicking and hitting me. Den ta top it off he dropped down plantin his in me ribs and kept hittin me till Angel tank God hit him in da head wid a board. We both rolled in pain foh a moment till I leapt at him and elbowed him in da neck.
"Angel get some rope!" I told hah as I kept him pinned.
MEDIA'S POV
Mush and I made our way into the building but he went off to the left and told me to wait where I was. But I was in a warehouse full of psychos so I didn't want to stay in one place for too long. I was walking along a hall and walked past a corner when I walked past some stinky guy.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked.
"What do you think?" he asked sarcastically.
"Kidnapping people." I replied.
"So, what's it to ya?"
"I don't like it when people cross my cousins." I said feeling my temper rise up in me.
"Oh so you're a Conlon eh?" he asked smugly.
"Yeah, come and get me." I taunted him. He threw a wide punch, which I ducked with ease, but felt his fist land in my gut. I snap kicked him in his knee which got him mad, then to top it all off I kicked him in the gut.
"You still don't have me!" I said almost laughing by this point.
"Ha ha, I do now." He said pulling a gun out at me. I froze as he started coming around behind me, putting the gun to my neck.
"I'm takin you to the bosses." He sneered in my ear.
"Oh you have bosses, which makes you the lackey." I taunted him not knowing what else to do.
"Shut up." He hissed.
"Let go of my girl!" I heard Mush say as we rounded a corner.
"Mush throw the knife!" I said.
"You don't want ya boyfriend shot full of holes now do ya?" the guy said pointing the gun at Mush.
"The cops will be here soon, you might as well let her go." Mush said stepping forward to negotiate.
"One more step and she gets it!" the guy holding me said putting the gun back to my neck.
"It's okay Mush, back off." I said slowly raising my hands. I got my right hand close enough to the gun and twisted his wrist so that I was turned around and we were facing each other and I gleefully head bunted him.
"Get on the ground!" I said. The thug got down on his knees.
"All the way!" I told him, watching with joy as he obeyed.
"Spread out your arms. You didn't have anything to do with Skittery's kidnapping did you?" I asked wanting to blow his brains out.
"Who?" he muttered from the dusty floor.
"I guess that must have been your buddies." I said
"I don't know what you're talkin bout lady!" Regardless, I brought back my leg and let it go shattering his nose, as my foot met with his face, making him howl in pain.
"Don't kill him Media." Mush warned.
"Why not, he deserves to die!" I answered viciously.
"I got some rope, don't worry." Mush said as he twisted the guy's arms back.
"That's what you get for holding a gun to my girl's head." Mush said before punching him in the back.
MUSH'S POV
I crept along in the darkness when I saw a guy pacing in the next room. I told Media to stay where she was and quietly climbed on a stack of boxes the guy was walking in front of. I waited fir the right time and jumped down on him putting him in a choke hold and beating his sides and face before pushing him into the boxes. He must have hit his head because he went limp. I cautiously walked up to make sure he was out when his eyes flashed open, he pulled my leg out from under me, and I fell hard. We both got to our feet, he seemed almost relaxed, like I didn't threaten him so I swung at his stomach with my right and I felt intense pain rip trough my shoulder. He pulled a bloodied knife out of my arm and sneered at me.
"Bet you can't do it without the knife." I said trying to even up the fight so I wouldn't get sliced to death.
"Okay." He said placing the blade back in his pocket. I slugged him in the stomach and his face. He responded with a wind-knocking blow to my stomach and we backed away from each other. He slid the knife out again and smiled. He rushed me, I didn't get back fast enough, and he dug the knife into my back forcing me down to the ground.
"Nagh" I cringed as I knelt down while the son of a bitch smiled down at me, as quickly as I could I mover backwards and stumbled while standing up.
"Yah left side ain't good no more pretty boy." He taunted.
"Guess I'll have ta use my right." I said trying to sound calm. I kicked him in the stomach as he raked the knife across the back of my knee and down my calf.
"Heh." He jeered. "Ya could just surrender."
"And what good would that do?" I asked circling him.
"Well, I wouldn't have ta kill ya." He said wishing I would keep fighting so he could kill me.
"Alright." I said barely believing I had said that. He moved behind me and held the knife to my throat.
"Let's go." He said and then we both heard Media's voice and someone else's coming from close by.
"Looks like they got your girl." He said in my ear.
"Your girl has my girl.' I said as I felt I smile come across my face." Why in hell did I say that? Been around Media too long." I thought to myself before the creep stopped me and said "I would watch what I would say if I where you." He warned me so I shut up for the moment but thought maybe I could fake him out.
"You might wanna put the knife down." I said.
"And why would I wanna do somethin like dat?"
"Cause if you don't get that knife outha my throat he'll shoot you." I said looking towards the rafters at no one.
"There ain't no one there." "he said. "Damnit he's smarter than he looks!" I thought.
"Your funeral."
"No actually it's yours." He said bringing the knife deeper in my throat. I grabbed his wrist, twisted it hard, and snatched the blade away from him while twisting his arm behind his back.
"Lookie lookie," I said bringing the knife to his throat.
"You're still more beat up than me!" he laughed. I brought the knife down into the front of his shoulder, almost in the exact place he had stabbed me.
"Where is Spot Conlon?" I asked putting the blood-encrusted knife against his throat.
"I don't know, only the big bosses know." He said fear evident in his voice.
"And where are they at?" I asked growing impatient.
"I don't know!" he said as I sliced the back of his knee and pushed him down.
"What are you good for then?" I asked.
"I'm just a hired thug, a lackey!" he said cowering in fear. I didn't say anything, but knelt down and hit him hard across the head with the knife.
DODGER'S POV
I crept along a dark narrow hallway looking for any sign of Spot. I came to an open space and suddenly felt the cold steel of a knife at my throat.
"What are you doing here?" the chilling voice asked from behind me. I swallowed hard before I could answer.
"Looking for my brother."
"And that would be?"
"You mean you've kidnapped other innocent kids today?" I asked my smart Conlon mouth taking precedence over my sanity for the moment.
"Oh you have no idea." He sneered. "What's the name?"
"Spot." I replied not wanting to give away more than necessary.
"Last name." the thug said digging the knife deeper into my throat.
"Conlon." I said grudgingly.
"The more the merrier. How many Conlon's are here?"
"At least 2."
"I figured that. How many more are here?" he asked pushing me along.
"Just two" I said shakily.
"You're lying!" he said opening a door and pushing me in.
"Dodgah?" I heard Spot's voice, thank God he was at least still conscious.
"Spot, are you okay?" I asked.
"I'se fine." He replied. At that moment, the thug let go long enough for me to thrust my elbow into his stomach and grab the knife.
"Now, let him go." I said pointing the knife at him.
"All right, I'm grabbing the key okay?" I put the knife point to his back prodding him to hurry and get Spot out of whatever contraption they had him in.
"I can't" my attacker said.
"Why not?"
"It's too dark, I need the flashlight from the desk."
"Don't move as you value your life." I walked back over to the desk and grabbed a flashlight. Walking back over to the thug, I clicked it on and held it up for him. He turned toward me putting the keys in his pocket and grabbed the hand with the knife, twisting it behind my back.
"Drop it Sweetheart." He threatened. I held onto the knife for dear life, knowing that if he got it he held all the power.
"I said drop it!" he repeated starting to choke me. I still held on, I wanted to stab him for what he had done to my brother.
"You know I'd hate for something to happen to the kid over there." He laughed tightening his grip on my throat. At that I let the knife fall, I'd give him the power if it meant I could save Spot.
"Good girl." He said still hanging on to me. I thrust my elbow into his gut again forcing him to let go of me. Thinking quickly, he latched onto my wrists and started questioning me about who was in the building.
"How many Conlons are in the building!"
"I told you, at least two!"
"There's more than that, how many?!"
"My sister and cousin." I finally conceded feeling like I'd just signed their death warrant.
"And?" the thug asked questioning me further.
"That's it, I swear!" I said.
"How about non-Conlon?"
"My boyfriend."
"Anyone else?"
"My cousin's boyfriend and my sister's guy."
"Is that it?"
"In the building yes"
"What about outside? Any of the younger one's show up?"
"They aren't here, they're a ways away." I said lying through my teeth and hoping he didn't notice.
"They're the smart ones!" he cackled. That made me see red, I kicked him in the groin and he doubled over.
"Fine, have it your way." He said slipping on some brass knuckles.
"Dodgah, ya gotta get im befoh he hits ya!" Spot said coaching me, from somewhere.
"I'll try, I'm not you Spot."
"That ya ain't." The thug said with a lustful laugh. He swung at me, but I ducked it.
"You're a fast one." He said.
"They don't call me Dodger for nothing!" I gloated.
"Let's see how fast you are with a broken leg!" he said kicking my knee. I heard a sickening crunch and next thing I knew I was on the ground next to Spot.
"Ya bastahd!" Spot yelled.
"Shut up" the thug, said kicking at Spot and making contact somewhere around his chest area. Next he grabbed me and hurled me against an opposite wall, chaining me to it. In the process of claming one wrist to the wall I managed to kick at him with my good leg.
"Ya brother's gonna pay for that." He laughed. Next he as he was clamping my other wrist in the cold iron, I kicked at him again; this time he let a punch fly making contact with my jaw. I gasped from pain as he laughed harder.
"So ya have a boyfriend in here?" he asked waiting for a response.
"Let's welcome him, shall we?" he said slapping a piece of duct tape over my mouth.
I tried to say something through the tape that came out as a jarbled mess. After a few excruciating moments, the door slowly creaked open as Blink stuck his head in.
"Come on in, we've been waiting for ya." The thug taunted.
"Let them go!" Blink said in a voice I had never heard before.
"And how would that profit me?"
"The cops are on their way, LET THEM GO!"
"Kid, we own cops."
"Why are you doing this?" Blink asked, trying to test the waters.
"For the money." At that moment, Blink struck out to punch the guy but didn't realize he was holding a knife, though when the guy slashed Blink's hand, he realized it.
"Ok, we'se gotta knife."
"Yep, either give up or you're going to die!"
"I ain't givin up, and I ain't gonna die!" Blink said with firm resolve. Blink kicked the knife away from the thug and picked it up, holding it against the guys throat.
"Free her!" he said. The thug complied and freed my right hand, which I promptly used to strike out at his face.
"Way to go Dodgah!" Blink congratulated me. "Other hand." The thug again obeyed and I punched him again.
"Don't kill him, yet!"
"You wouldn't kill me!"
"You kidnapped my girlfriend's brother, and my girlfriend, at this point I have no qualms about it!"
"All right, take it easy."
"Free Spot."
"We ain't finished with you yet!" the guy said as the clinking of chains was heard and then a quick rustle and the reclinking of chains as the thug was locked up.
"Dodgah, you okay?" Spot asked rushing over to me.
"Yeah, well except for my leg, but yeah."
"What happened to ya leg?" Blink asked.
"That idiot broke it!" I said.
"Come on, I'll carry ya out." He said lifting me into his arms and carrying me out through the door. We made it back to the door we had come through to see Media helping a gimp Mush along, and Angel helping Jack out and then we come up, Blink carrying me and my brother who I had yet to see that day.
"Angel, Jack, Media, Mush, over here! We found Spot!" I yelled.
ANGEL'S POV
I heard Dodger's voice yell out in the darkness.
"You found him, where is he?" I asked almost in tears.
"I'm right heah."
"SPOT!!!!!" I said running over and throwing my arms around his neck.
"Cahful a da back." He said shying away from my embrace.
"What happened?"
"It's just sore, nothing happened." He said.
"So we're all found?" Media asked.
"Yeah, I think so." I answered. "Dodger is Blink with you?"
"That's how I'm getting over here." Dodger answered with her smart mouth tone.
"Ok, good, because we really need to get out of here!" Media said.
"Why?" Jack asked, unable to see the obvious reason due to a very swollen eye.
"Because he's loosing consciousness from loss of blood, and I can't hold him up!" Media said as a loud thump was heard. "Crap I dropped him!" she shrieked.
"Blink, drop Dodger off at the car and get back here on the double!" I commanded.
Blink and Dodger headed off as fast as they could in the direction of the cars and to get Mouse, Bumlets, Spades, Skittery and Ace. They all returned within moments driving all of the cars to take us to the nearest hospital, so we could at least get patched up before facing the music at my house.
