Chapter 13

(Race POV)

'Hmmm Crutchie hasn't came back yet. Maybe I should go lookin' for 'im.' I've been sitting on the steps all night after I checked through da entired lodgin' house lookin for a sign Crutchie came back today.

I saw Jack walking towarsd the lodgin' house so I got up. "Ey Jack, have ya seen Crutchie around. Crutch went to see Klutz dis morning, but he has been gone all day!" Jack stopped mid stride. He crused under his breath and started runnin'. "Follow me Race, we gotta save Crutchie and Klutz." I statted after 'im. "Hold up Cowboy! Why are they in trouble?!"

-At the hospital-

(Klutz's POV)

I woke up with my head hurting a little. As I opened my eyes I was in a hospital room. Scanning da room I frooze.

I was lookin' at my brother and da guy named Choker that tried to ruin my life. 'Oh no, Where is Crutchie, Jack, and Racetrack? They will come and save me.'

"Well look who's up now. Da sleepy tramp is finally up." Choker spoke. I couldn't talk. My eyes started to water. "Well in a little bit, me, you, your brothera, and your little friend 'ere are gonna go on a walk and we..." I stopped listening to 'im and perked my head up to see who he wad talkin' bout.

Letting out a gasp, I saw a unconcious Crutchie sitting in a chair behind 'im. The ice cold tone in his voice woke me up from my trance starring at Crutchie. "Your borthera is gonna go finish da paper work ya need filled out. Then we are gonna be on our way." His smirk gave me chills.

Andy walked out of the room and I was left there with choker. 'His eyes just vut like knives.' After what seemed like hours Andy returned and said, "She is all set, A nurse is gonna come and watch her walk out wid us." I wished for anyone to show up to help me. 'Oh god... I need to figure out how I'm gonna save not only me but Crutchie too'

Choker told Alex to go get some others guys to get Crutchie . And he went on his way. After a few mintues two more guys re-appeared and took Crutchie out of my room. I was ready to cry.

Den da nurse came in and helped me out of the bed and walked us out of da hospital. I said good bye and thanks. and started walking away, Andy had to keep hold of my arm. I coudln't walk to well with my head trama. Choker wad on our heel. As soon as da nurse left, choker grabbed me by da wrist and pulled my into an allyway.

I just looked at my feet. When I heard a groan, Glancin' up I saw Crutchie on the ground. Runninf to his side, "Crutchie are ya ok?" He started to come around. "Klutz is dat you?" He slowly opened 'is eyes and put his hand on my cheek, He winced as me moved. "Shhh. don't move." I shot Choker a glare, " What did you do ta 'im?" His respones was a cold chuckle.

"Ah dont worry sweet heart, he won't feeling anything after today, and neither will you after I'm done wid ya." Fear took over me as he grabbed my hair and slammed my head into the brick wall. Everything went blurry...

-back at the hospital-

(Race's POV)

Jack was still almost a block ahead of me. But I stopped when I saw Specs and told 'im to gather as many boys as he could and ta met us in front of da hospital near the park. When I finally caught up ta 'im in front of da hospital he was ghostly pale.

We ran up the steps in ta the lobby and gave da nurse a heart attack almost. "Where is Alexis Finch?! Hurry. Its life or death 'ere!" She was a little slow in answering but she told us dat she had left wid her brother already. "Which way were they heading?" I shouted at 'er. She told us west and we bolted out da door.

Spec had gather Mush, David, Les, Boots, Romeo and Sniper. They were sitting on the steps when we came up ta dem. Spec told us dat Blink was heading ta Brooklynn ta get Spot and some of 'is boys. We told them what we knew and dat we needed to find Crutchie and Klutz.

'Oh gezz, I hope Crutch is ok. And so is Klutz' It felt like we have been looking for an hours, but its only been twenty mintues.

As I was walking apst an ally-way, I was caught up in my thoughts when I thought I saw somethin' in it so I turned back around. Lookin' inta da allyway I saw a grim sight.

"AH JACK, BOYS I GOT THEM!" Racing down to da othera side of da ally way I knelt down near Crutchie. "Ah come on Crutch be ok!" as I lightly slapped 'im on da cheek. He left out a soft groan. A small wave of relief came. Then I turned to Klutz. 'Holy crap, she is so pale. and there is blood.. everywhere.'

Jack was the next to appear followed by the other guys. "Jack... Theres blood every-... blood everywhere. Is Klutz ever al-aliv-" "Don't say dat!" Jack shouted dat me. 'Oh jezz they aren't going to make it.. No They will , Don't talk like that.' "OK. Jack Grab Crutchie 'ere. And Spec, help me wid Klutz, She already has some head injureies, no telling if its gottten worse.

As I was going to pick up Klutz, I heard a voice behind me. "EY! Dat ain't yours to take. Dats my property!" Looking up, at da othera mouth of da allyway where we came from stood five boys. I heard Jack whisper to David and Boots to take Crutchie and Klutz and fine some help and ta bring Les wid them.

Jack stood up as da boys grabs klutz and Crutch and lefty da ally way quickly as possible.

"How can ya do dat ta your own sistera and her friend?" Jack was starring at da boy off to da right of the guy that spoke earlier, "All of you.. " Jack looked like e was gonna rid someone's head off, " Ya dumb... ASSHOLES! HOW CAN YA DO DAT TA TWO INACENTS KIDS?" As he gestured towards da way David and Boots went. "COME ON BOYS LET SOAK THEM FOR CRUTCHIE AND KLUTZ! Jack screamed out.

With dat we head towards them for a fight. As the head towards us.
