Ok here is chapter four I hope you like it
Chapter 4!
I tried to take in the situation as I ran towards my family; Nudge was standing in front of Gazzy
and Angel while fighting off the two guys.
My vision turned red when I looked closer at the kids. Gazzy was holding Angel and sporting a
black eye while Angle was holding her arm, which had a long gash in it.
I charged the two Hawks, taking them by surprise and knocking them off their feet. I jumped on
one and Nudge took the other, both of us punching them repeatedly. When my guy was down
for the count I checked on Nudge, who was sitting on her now unconscious guy's chest grinning
smugly. I motioned her to go help the kids while I hauled my guy to his feet and shoved him
against the jungle gym.
"Ok now you're going to tell me who you are who you got your orders from and why." I
demanded from the one conscious Hawk member.
"I aint gonna tell you nuthin, bitch." He said with a smirk on his bloody little face. I smiled back
at him and said.
"Like hell you are." And with that I gave him a swift knee to the balls. When he finally came back
up I pulled out my knife and pushed the edge of it to his throat.
"Now lets try this again. Same questions." I pushed the edge of my knife deeper into his throat
creating a thin red line.
"Ok, ok just get that thing off my throat!" He sputtered out. I looked at him and just raised my
eyebrow. "Fine I'm a Hawk."
"I know you're a fucking Hawk now answer my questions!" I screamed in his face.
"Ok! Fine! We were sent by Night he's our new leader." I slammed him against the jungle gym
when he stopped talking.
"Ok! Ok! Damn stop that!" I glared at him. "He sent us out and told us to target the kids
with connections to the Arc Angels, like your little girl here all of the kids who are related to
Angels. Night's smart he plans good and no one's gonna to stop him." He finished his little spiel
with a satisfied smirk. And with that I smacked him in the side of his head with the butt of my
knife and he fell down, unconscious.
"Looks like I'm going to stop him." I said to his unconscious body, as if he could hear me. Next, I
dragged both bodies into the woods by the park where they must have been hiding. How could I
have not seen them? I'm getting sloppy. I turned back around to my family.
"Max my face hurts but ill be ok." Gazzy said my little trouper; I looked him up and down, more
observantly this time. He had a black eye and some more bruising on his arm.
Next I looked to Angel my baby, with a four-inch gash in her arm and bruises on her face and
legs.
"Aw man Angel come on we got to get you to Ella." I said as I picked her up.
Ella is Iggy's girlfriend she is in med school and since she was with Iggy she knew about the
gang and she patched us up when we needed it. She isn't a member but she is of the few people that our gang
protected and one of the even fewer that I trusted. I asked Nudge next.
"Nudge will you call Ella and tell her to meet us at the house?"
"On it! Ya know, we're really lucky we have Ella. She's so pretty and handy I mean think about
how often everyone in the gang gets hurt! I mean just last week you had that huge slice on your
leg from that fight you got in with that Bandit. I cant believe he actually landed a hit on you
since you're like the best fighter I know, but on the other hand he is a Bandit so you probably
didn't see it coming cause there so ya know chill and mph…!"
Ahh the wonderful sound of my hand over Nudge's mouth. But she did have a point, Ella is
really important, and my leg did heal nicely after she stitched me up. I remember that day I
went into Bandit territory to see if I could get a computer at a good price. The Bandits are
widely known for their theft. It is their craft; they are a relatively small gang with a relatively
small territory that they dealt out of. If you ever needed anything for a good price you went to a
Bandit and they had every thing from drugs to stolen elephants.
Flashback
I pulled into an ally with Iggy and we both hopped off our motorcycles and faced a group of
Bandits. There where five of them— two girls and three boys. The first girl was exotic, maybe
Indian or Native American. She was tall and skinny but well built. The second girl was extremely
pale and small but still looked pretty tough; all the guys looked the same— tall, tough looking
and all sporting buzz cuts.
My eyes were drawn back to the Indian girl she just had this in charge look on her face. So I
turned to her.
"So I'm lookin for a computer, cheap." I told the girl.
"Well I guess we could help y'all out" she glanced at her buddies, then back at me. "Ya know, for
the right price." She said with a smirk. Ahh so she's a smart ass.
"Look ill give you fifty bucks for a speedy computer, just a laptop will do," I told her.
And with that she laughed at me. "Ha you got to be kiddin me." She turned to her group. "Hey
y'all do ya think she's jokin or what?" She asked with a smirk.
"Yeah Spiro she must be kiddin' its almost as if she thinks she can get anything from us for
under, hmm eighty bucks sounds about right." One of the guys said. Turns out this would get a
little messier than I thought.
"Oh hell no I'm not going to be cheated out of my money. I know all this stuff's hot and I know
that if you got it for nothing I can get it for fifty, no higher." All of the Bandits around the
girl stepped forward, so score one for Max.
"Oh no you aint gonna be steppin into my turf and start arguing about my prices. If you want
something you do it my way." Next thing I know this Spiro girl is all up in my face trying to tell
me what to do so I just… reacted.
Ok well I punched her in the nose but that is a reaction.
Next thing I knew two of the guys are on me and the other guy and the small girl are holding
Iggy up against the ally wall. We were both struggling against our attackers as little miss thang
blotted her bleeding nose.
"Well things really haven't gone as usual this time." She said as she pulled something out of her
pocket. "But don't think I'll let you leave here without gaining something." She smirked as she
flicked her knife out and started heading for my face.
Oh, well, this might be a problem, I thought to myself.
I looked over at Iggy and blinked four times hopping he still recognized my sign, he nodded
back, well that's good. I counted to three in my head and right as Spiro got close enough I kicked
out my leg knocking her knife out of her hand, but also giving my leg a nice sized gash.
I barely had time to recognize that as a thought before I broke free of my captors grasp and
sprinted towards Iggy and slammed the Bandits heads together. Iggy and I hopped on our Bikes
while there was still confusion and without a seconds hesitation we were burning rubber back to
our territory.
It wasn't till later that I realized how bad that bandit got my leg, it needed stitches, but I also
found out that the Bandit with the knife was their leader, thus explaining why they were so
protective of her. But still, it was a deep gash for thirty bucks and a bloody nose.
End Flashback
So while I was in the past temporally, Nudge had helped Angel back up and she was wobbling
back and forth.
"Ok Angel, come here," I said as I picked her up in my arms. She snuggled up against me. She's
just so cute sometimes.
"Thanks Max." She sighed as she started to close her eyes.
I gently shook her awake. "Oh no you don't sweetie, you might have hit your head and we don't
want you slipping into a coma or nuthin." I said murmured into her ear. She sighed and opened
her eyes and we all started the trek home where Ella was hopefully waiting.
