A THUNDER AND LIGHTING AU STORY
CHAPTER 2
"We don't have any money," I said patiently to my brother. "If we did we would've gotten to eat lunch today."
"But Gan!" He looked more pissed. "What do we use as transportaion, there aren't any buses. And we can't afford a taxi. Nor do we wanna walk around the neighborhood this time of night. What the Hell do we do?"
"What reason do ya think I must know that answer?!"
"Because you're the oldest!"
"By ten minutes." I held up both of my hands in a high fiv-ing position. "Did Argent take the car?"
The look he gave me told me the answer. Dammit. Just this night did she have to go to that freaking wretch Isaiah's.
'Well I guess we have to take a Taxi," I said defeatedly. "I guess we'll have to act on impulse whenever he asks for the money."
Tavis shrugged. "Fine, whatever."
When we finally catch a cab we get in and sit in silence. In that silent moment I watched the money add up every corner he turned.
$13.30..
$15.50... ...$$$
Adding up it did once Tavis told him to "stop here." And once he did that he told us the given amount; that was at a whopping $30.00, and he hadn't turned more than 4 blocks. He hadn't even taken us down the Jump City strip.
Tavis and I held nervous looks. In a movie when chiz like that this actually did happen the characters can somehow manage to make a break for it, and in some strange way before we even put our hands on the door handles that let us out, he gave us a knowing smile shaking his head.
"You boys don't have money do you?"
Tavis laughed nervously. "No, sir..we- we don't"
"No, sorry sir. " I shook my head quickly, with wide eyes. "We don't. We can mow your lawn or somethin', sorry for the inconvi-"
The taxi driver held up his hand. "Boy, shut up. It's fine. You guys don't have to pay."
"Seriously?" Tavis and I asked, you know, in unison.
"Nah, you guys look like good kids." He chuckled, "and by the looks of it you two don't seem to be in a good situation. You lose somethin'?"
"Some kids." Tavis said dryly.
"Ah, those little rascals just don't know when to stop runnin' do they?"
We laughed nervously, shaking our heads. Those kids sure didn't.
The man waving us bye, we got out of the Taxi and we were before a house, that seemed familiar in a way, and suspicious as well, since we did so happen to see Toni walk inside this get up of a house when we were to have passed it.
"She spends anight at this ranshacked peice of shit?" Asked Tavis in disbelief. "This looks like some place where you sell-"
"Yeah." He didn't have to finish his sentence. I knew what he'd been about to say. "I know."
When we walked inside the house we heard yelling and glass. Toni's thick New Zealand accent could be heard in the arguing. We decided to not immediately enter the room yet because we weren't sure if we were even allowed in here, or if there was bad timing.
"Isaiah, whaut the Hell were you thinking," we heard her scream. "Like seriously, I'm gone for like fiifteen minutes at the gas statshun and you're already burning down a high school, I mean come on. If you want me to be your girlfriend you have to stop doing arson."
We heard Isaiah growl. "You don't obiviously understand that what I do is MY business, Toni. And we aren't breakin' up unless I say so."
"But the school, you could be seriously arrested." She sounded as if she were crying. "I'm leaving, when the police show up I'm not gonna be in yawr felth."
He must've grabbed her harshly or something because before you know it, she was screaming in agony or something and that'd been the same time we came into the room they were in.
He had her arm in a rough pinch, his nails were digging into her skin harder and harder. Before Tavis and I could beat the living daylights out of him we were already hearing sirens outside the house.
Shit.
"You freaking wretch," cursed Tavis. "Get your freaking hands off of her!"
"Yeah, before we beat your butt," I added. "Take your arms off her...NOW!"
Isaiah, that ugly bastard gave us these smirks that would've made God himself come down from Heaven and give him a blow with lightning. It's like we held this staring competition for a billion seconds before he let go of her. She immediatey ran to our side. She immediately wrapped her arms around me. "Guys can we go home, NOW. Before the police-"
Toni didn't even get to finsh her sentence because she was already being taken away. They had handcuffed her, and they were taking her away. It wouldn't have bothered us that much as it did, but then the policemen were giving Isaiah a pat on the back for calling in on her, for helping them out, and their job was more easier on finding the suspect: Toni.
She protested, she bucked, she screamed, but they wouldn't let go of her. They even searched through the back pocket of her super short skirt finding two small lighters, and a pack of big matches that had a big caution sign on them.
"Sir!" I exclaimed loudly, "Isaiah, that man in the yellow and red leather jacket was the one to burn that school down."
But the police officer wouldn't listen. He only said "stay out of trouble, and have a good night."
Toni's life was practically ruined.
As the police officers walked out of the house, and channel 6 news had been done questioning Isaiah, Tavis and I were staring bullets through his head. Immediately when the news van, police cruisers, and the crowd of people left I quickly lunged at him. If he hadn't laughed once that door shut he wouldn't have been my punching bag.
I didn't care if Tavis was trying to hold me back and try to stop me, it didn't work. When he managed to get a few punches in I just punched and didn't care. I would;ve held back, but I couldn't. Eventually my fists did become tired but the damage was done. His face had two black eyes, and his lip was split open.
He'd wake up in a little while.
"Woah, bro," said Tavis his eyes wide. "I've never seen you get this angry."
"Yeah, well..." I leaned against the wall tiredly. "You see me now."
After maybe two minutes, we continued on the search for the kids. We walked out the house and prayed he wouldn't call the cops on us. But then again, if he'd called the cops he would've been putting himself in deep water.
Walking out the house we saw that the Taxi we took earlier was parked outside the house. It was the same tiaxi driver too.
"What the heck happened to you boys?" He asked as we got in. "You guys kill someone or something?"
Tavis and I glanced at each other before replying.
"No, our friend did," Tavis answered.
"She supposedly burnt down that school around the block," I said after.
He didn't question us further. He simply asked us where we'd like to go from here.
A/N: Next chapter will be posted soon.
