BREAKING NEWS AS THE SENATOR'S SENTINEL SCANDAL CONTINUES
I am Josh Stones and this is channel 12 news. Earlier today at 3:30 pm Senator Kelly held a press conference to introduce the Sentinel program to public. Everything was going in the Senator Kelly's favor that is until the demonstrations. Witnesses say, "The Sentinels crashed and burned as soon as they were activated and when a Sentinel was properly activated the controls were non-existed." One demo Sentinel went as far as even attacking Senator himself, who denials ever being a mutant or being associated with them. But that wasn't the case when pictures of him and a female mutant where seen having dinner together at a local four-star restaurant that was closed down just for the occasion appeared just two weeks ago all over the internet. Senator Kelly quickly released a statement saying that the women in question was indeed not a mutant. Although that couldn't save the Senator from hot water that started boiling two months earlier, when financial records were uploaded by an anonymous source relieving that the Senator was using tax payers dollars to create the Sentinels by an unknown company that cause city wide black outs internet crashes and lost services on every form of communication device even landlines all within a three month period.
In unrelated news, skateboarders of all ages are rallied up for the skateboard competition to determine the city's best skateboarder. The winner will receive a 10,000 dollar grand prize with a customized limited addition skateboard autographed by the special guest judge Tony Hawk. Last minute sign ups are today 15 minutes before the competition officially start at 6:00 pm at the Bayville National skate and bike park.
"Come on or we're gonna be late." A white teenaged blue haired young man said wearing an unbutton khaki brown vest over his velvet red long sleeve shirt with his muddy green pants sagging off his waist as he barely balanced on his skateboard with his khaki brown shoes as his dark brown eyes lit up with excitement
"Ya know you fixin' to fall on that thang Kurt." A pale skinned young lady said wearing a dark green tank top dark blue or solid black leather jeans and black Tremberlands. Her hair was dyed a velvet red color expected the front of her hair that was white and covered her green eyes as she jogged beside Kurt.
"We're gonna be late Rogue if we don't make it in...20 MINUTES! " Kurt said pushing on his skateboard as he wobbled to keep his balance
"Why are you doing this again?" Rogue asked
"Logan said if I can come up with at least half the money to make repairs on that 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, he'd would fix it and let me keep it." Kurt answered
"You mean that black and blue stripped car that's sitting in the back of the garage since he got here?" She asked
"That's the one." He answered stumbling trying to gain some control over his skateboard
"I swear you're gonna fall." Rogue said
Kurt stared at his broad trying to tune out Rogue's negative comments and was finally able you balance himself out.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" A man yelled racing in between them pushing Kurt to the hard concrete and Rogue to the street as he made his way down a hill.
"HELP I'VE BEEN MUGGED! A women cried out horrified by what just happened
"STOP THAT GUY!" An over weight police officer yelled wobbling from the other side of the street dropping a chocolate doughnut
Kurt got up and help up Rogue both of them glanced at each other and nodded before taking the initiative. Rouge went over to the lady to get her to calm down while Kurt raced down the hill with his skateboard in hand after the thief,"HEY STOP!" He yelled
The thief stared at the edge of the hill before taking a second to glance back at Kurt before turning around to a flash of colors before everything went black. The man's lifeless body wobbled before finally falling face first on the concrete beside a half of a skateboard on the side of the road.
"Damn it!" Trent yelled stepping over the thief and grabbing the other half of his skateboard
"Did you really have to hit him that hard?" I asked checking the man's pulse after turning his body around
"Forget that! The guy broke my broad!" Trent yelled holding up the two pieces of his skateboard an outrage
"You broke his nose." I said examining his body
"Is the guy dead or not? Because if he isn't the bastard owes me a new broad." Trent asked lightly kicking his lifeless body
"Stop that...", I said pushing away his leg and leaned in closely to hear a very fainted light snore,"...He's just on conscious he'll live." I reported
"Good cause he owes me a new skateboard TODAY. I don't care if it's out of pocket or out of that woman's bag but either way he's gonna buy me a new skateboard NOW." Trent said
"Oh my God! You just knocked a man out on conscious and broke his nose and all you care about is your skateboard?" I asked glanced up at him
"Yes! Today is the skateboard competition and we need money to survive for the next few months. If I don't compete we're gonna go hungry or end up homeless, you out of everybody know how important this is for us." Trent said trying to force the two pieces together hoping they would stick back together.
Even thought Trent was dead wrong for purposely hitting the guy with the skateboard and blaming him for the entire situation. He was right, we do need the money to survive. Unlike most people, we live off the secret service payment plan: get a mission, complete the mission successfully, two days later we get paid or promoted to a higher rank to earn even more money and the cycle repeats itself. Seems simple right? Wrong! We have to report everything we do before and after missions, keep in contact with Commander every 12 hours, wait from 3 to 8 days for a new mission, we don't even get paid if the mission was incomplete or failure, have HQ follow our every movement and we're not allowed to get real jobs because according to the government we don't exist. So we've been ruffing it for the pass 3 and half months doing whatever competitions and special events with cash prizes until HQ can contact Mike about our next paycheck and assignment. I can't complain to much especially since we've been messing with Senator Kelly this whole time.
My mind wondered off into earlier this morning when Senator Kelly was running for his life as his "precious" Sentinels chased after him firing its plasma cannon at him while he screams like a little bitch and light but very devious smile appeared on my face. The thief lightly moan and groaned as he finally woke up only to get pick up and slammed against the wall by Trent.
"You owe me 25 bucks for my broad." Trent said
The thief rolled his eyes in a daze and spoke in a slur so badly no one had a clue what he was saying.
"HEY you owe me money." Trent said getting frustrated and slamming the guy back up on the wall
The man's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he slowly closed his eyes and started to slide down the wall.
"WAKE UP and PAY ME!" Trent growled at him shaking body as his green eyes slowly turned solar blue
The man opened his eyes for a split second and mumbled something before sliding off the wall again.
"WHERE'S MY MONEY? YOU OWE ME MONEY, WHERE IS IT?!" Trent repeated as his eyes were completely solar blue
"DUDE!" Kurt yelled getting both our attentions
I got up the ground and instantly wiped the evil smile off my face while Trent dropped the man's body and looked directly at Kurt with his dark green eyes.
"Good job kid. You caught all three suspects." The cop said patting Kurt on the back with one and pulling out handcuffs with the other
I looked at Trent and the body that was laying on his feet,"Oh God, excuse me officer but this is all a huge misunderstanding." I said
"Is that so?" The officer questioned looking at the 'crime seine'
Looking around,"I know this looks bad but I swear, we had nothing to do with it." I said
"Where are you kids headed anyway?" The officer asked fixing his belt
"Well we were about to go to the skateboard competition until..." I started
"This asshole broke my broad!" Trent interrupted holding up the pieces
"Calm down sir. My name is officer Brown. Now can you explain what happened? Officer Brown asked glancing between me and Trent
"Gladly. Me and my boyfriend Trent were walking to the skate park when we heard a cry for help. We raced to the end of this corner when we heard someone yelled stop. So...ummm...yeah...my boyfriend might had hit him with his skateboard." I explained
"Yeah but his brick like head didn't have to bust my broad." Trent commented
"Son this is just as your fault as it is his." Officer Brown said
"And who asked you? Everything we have can be taken from us if I don't win this competition." Trent replied in a hostile tone
"Becareful son because you could get charge with an assault with a deadly weapon." Officer Brown said
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I COULD GET JAIL TIME!?" Trent Yelled in outrage after throwing the pieces against the wall
"Excuse us a minute." I said pushing Trent away before his gets in even more trouble
"That fatass doughnut inhaling mall cop need to get the fuck out my face before beat the sprinkles out his chunky overweight ass. Cause I swear to God! I am not getting locked up again especially not over a broke ass bum like that piece of sh-." Trent started just as I kissed him
His eyes widen for only second before slowly closing as he inhaled the lingering taste. I placed my arms over his shoulders while his carefully placed his around my waist. I slowly pulled away before we got carried away and leaned my forehead on his as I slowly opened my eyes.
"I need you to stop bitchin and wining like Mike Jr. and pull yourself together. For right now, can you stop thinking about your skateboard and calm down for me? Because I know you don't wanna go back and we need you. I need you. So will you stop acting like this?" I softly asked against his lips
Trent slowly nodded and grab hold of my hand lightly kissing it before smiling. I smiled back and leaned into him as we walked back to crime seine. A woman stood in front of Officer Brown explaining what had happened to her while Rouge was talking to Kurt.
"Are you sure he was the only one who attacked you?" Officer Brown asked
The woman nodded,"Yes officer it was only him." She said pointing at the man still laying on the ground
"Alright, we need to get him up and book him or bag and tag him." Officer Brown said
Trent helped the guy up to his feet for the 3rd or 5th time and apologized to Officer Brown for going off on him. Officer Brown smiled and accepted his apology while putting the handcuffs on the thief and placing him the backseat of his car. After a few more questions, Officer Brown left in his car with the thief the woman went on her way and since Trent apologized he didn't end up arrested instead he was prostrated as the hero but nothing could be done about his skateboard being broken.
"So much for that." He sighed sitting on the end of the street
"It's gonna be fine. We're gonna make it we always do." I said sitting down beside him
"We might as well get used to this corner right now." He said leaning his head on mine
Kurt held the pieces of the board towards Trent,"Sorry if there's anything we could do to help we would gladly lend a helping hand." He said with a light smile
"Can you loan me 25 bucks for another board?" Trent asked taking the pieces of the board
"No." Kurt answered
"Than we're screwed." Trent said
"Wait a second, Why didn't you just ride your skateboard downhill?" I asked noticing his skateboard in his hand
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked
"You would have caught up with that thief a lot faster if you rode on your skateboard down the hill...so why didn't you?" I questioned
"Well ummm I didn't ride downhill because I ummmm...I didn't ride down the hill because. .." Kurt started
"It's because he can't!" Rogue rudely interrupted
"You can't?" Trent asked
Kurt glared at Rogue before answering, "No."
"And you're trying to win a skateboard competition...interesting." I commented
"This is perfect!" Trent happily said jumping up from his seat
"How so?" Rogue asked
"I have the skills he has the skateboard. If you could just loan me your skateboard for the competition I'll win for the both of us." He said hopefully
"Ummmm...I don't know." Kurt said
"I'll rent it from you." Trent said
"Now how in the hell are you gonna do that?" I asked
"It's simple. I'll use his skateboard to win the competition and when I win we'll split the prize money 50 50." Trent said
"I'm still not sure about this." Kurt said before getting pulled to the side by Rogue
"What do you mean you're not sure? You know for a fact you're not capable of winning a city wide competition with your skills. Take the deal you never know this guy could be really good and he has a lot to lose if he doesn't win." Rogue said
Kurt sighed deeply even though he didn't wanna admit it Rogue did have a point. He skills wasn't enough to be in the city wide competition. Hell, they wasn't even enough for a below basic skateboard competition and he could tell the couple was in deep trouble.
"Ok we have a deal."Kurt said
"We do?" Me and Trent asked simultaneously
"Yeah under one condition." Kurt said
"What is it?" Trent asked
"You better win." Kurt said holding out his hand
"You can count on me ummm..." Trent said shaking his hand
"Kurt. My name is Kurt Wagner and this is Rogue." Kurt said with a smile
"My name is Trent and this is my girlfriend Alex." Trent said
"Umm I'm sorry to ruin this meet and greet, but we have 5 minutes to make it to the skate park." I said
We all glanced at each other before taking off running like mad men charging into battle. Trent laid the skateboard down the skateboard front of himself and quickly led the way grinding on a rail on the way down a flight of stairs.
"He's good." Rogue said
"Good? He's amazing!" Kurt said happily
"He should be. He's been skating since was four." I said
Kurt stopped as we continued racing for our lives to happily stare in disbelief and pure excitement.
