Chapter Seven
"Hun, you know how guys are," Piper sighed, "Girls are never as good as they are. You're just a threat."
"Yeah, I know," I sighed back, linking arms with her, "It's just annoying, I have to earn respect and guys who're shit don't even have to try. It's stupid."
"You can't do anything but what you're doing now," she pointed out.
"True, I just, I still don't understand why me, why not Jaws?" I turned to her, "He would be so much better."
"Honey, Pat wanted you to be leader, Jaws was his friend," she tried to explain, "Why're you asking me? I'm thinking the same thing as you." I laughed, turning forward again but heard something tapping against the stone road. Like footsteps. "Is that just me?"
"No," I muttered turning slightly: we were being followed. As we turned the corner, she broke out into a run but I kept walking, after a while feeling a hand on my shoulder.
"Hey there sweet face."
Mystery Person's POV
It had been an hour since Stretch and Piper had left; Jaws and Race were practically switching winning. I had silently given up and was watching the rather entertaining display of manliness before me. Becket was now fighting my second in command, and loosing badly.
"Tony!" a voice yelled from behind me, I turned to see Piper and looked at Race, he was too into the game.
"Race," I tried to help but he didn't phase.
"Anthony!" she shouted and his head snapped up. I smiled slightly at the effect she had on him. "Sydney is-."
"Andy?" Race asked, concern filling his voice when his girl's head bent over but moments later the mass of hair was flipped back.
"I think it's Knuckles." That was all Anthony needed but he told Jaws to get back to the lodging house before sprinting out the door. Jaws was about to follow, but I stuck out my cane.
"Go," I growled before following Racetrack myself. After a while, I caught up with him but only cause he had stopped running, he was walking towards an alley where there were two guys fighting a shorter . . . person. "Where is she?"
"There," he pointed to the shorter person as she broke one of the guy's legs. Jesus, Stretch was some girl.
