Chapter 3: mob power: The Capone mob and the four horsemen
Meanwhile Kevin stamped his foot in frustration as he quickly searched one house after the other in the neighborhood only to find no sign of Nazz, Sarah or any of the Eds.
He roared furiously as he ripped open the door to Nazz's house and furiously rifled through the drawers, desperate to find any clue as to her whereabouts. Nothing useful was found, and all her possessions were left as they were, she had not chosen to take anything with her and this clearly meant that if she had left then she was clearly in a hurry.
Kevin bawled as he tore open the cupboards in the kitchen, and when there was nothing useful inside them, he grabbed a huge pile of glass plates and hurled them to the ground and shattered them to pieces. He then picked up a chair and smashed it repeatedly against a table until the chair had broken into several fragments, it was almost impossible to tell from its remains that it had once been a dining chair. "AAAAAHHH!" yelled Kevin as he punched himself on the forehead in frustration, clearly angry with himself.
Then his anger turned to Nazz as he picked up a photo of his former girlfriend which was taped to the wall. "Nazz, you bitch" he bellowed as he tore the photo to shreds and lifted his middle finger as he did so "You stupid, stupid bitch. You and Sarah are bitches who are just as bad as the Ed dorks", he grumbled and growled.
Kevin had changed a lot in the last few weeks, prison life did that to you. While he was on holiday in Florida, he had become increasingly angry that his girlfriend which he dedicated his life to pleasing had ditched him and taken another boy. And what was worse was that the other boy was Eddy, and in his opinion Eddy was nothing more than a useless pile of garbage. And now that Nazz had left him, he really had no reason to live anymore. Never again would he see that beautiful look in those big blue eyes of hers when she smiled at him, or hear her sweet, heavenly voice when she spoke to him. Nor would he feel the indescribably euphoric sensation he felt when she cheered for him after he had just won a football match or some other sport game or when he showed his amazing skateboard tricks to her. Nazz the cheerleader, would cheer for him nevermore, and that made him feel as if life was no longer worth living for. What point was there in trying to achieve anything when there was no one to applaud you for your achievements anymore.
Now when Nazz did cheer, it was for Eddy and when she did smile, it was at Eddy and this made Kevin feel as if everything good in his life had been robbed from him unfairly. He was of course, too stupid to begin to wonder whether he had brought it on himself or not. Those days when he could but watch as Nazz and Eddy walked hand in hand ,were days that he hoped he would never have to see. The way Nazz ignored him as she stared at Eddy with love-filled eyes, broke Kevin's heart and made him feel absolutely awful. He felt as if he would rather die than have to see such a horrible sight. For the first time in his life, he felt the pain Eddy had felt for ten long years, he felt like an ignored and mistreated outcast. And worst of all was that Nazz was once his girlfriend, but Kevin had lost her to his worst enemy and that made Kevin mad.
He begged Nazz for another chance, he made all sorts of pathetic excuses and pleaded desperately like a pathetic loser. Yet Nazz refused to even acknowledge his presence when he came near her to try and apologize, she knew Kevin was not sorry in the slightest. Kevin's trip to Florida was supposed to take his mind away from the fact that his girlfriend had double crossed him and that he would likely never find a girl as incredible as "Nazz"ever again. It went well until one day while he was relaxing on the beach, he saw a blonde girl kissing a boy full on the lips. That was when all his anger came back upon him and he threw himself at the boy like a savage animal. He grabbed the boy by the neck and strangled him until he was dead.
He tried to run, but the blonde girl grabbed his arm and pinned him to the ground as she dialed 911. "What are you doing, let me go" yelled Kevin. "No" retorted the girl "You've just killed my boyfriend, you meanie".
Kevin struggled and tried to get free, there was no one else on the beach that day but the girl tied him up with a skipping rope she had brought with her and cuffed his hand with a pair of handcuffs. "Now this is what I call a good federal crackdown, I love federal crackdowns" taunted the girl.
When the policeman came later, the girl explained the situation to him. "Good work sweetie" remarked the policeman. Kevin tried to insist that he had not meant what he did, he begged for mercy but the policeman would give none of it. "Give him life in prison daddy" begged the girl "I want him to stay in prison until he dies".
Kevin tried to beg for mercy once more, but ultimately he was given life in prison with no parole. He deserved it for all the horrible things he did to Eddy, and yet somehow he still thought he was innocent.
He was thrown in jail along with Rolf, who had also got himself into trouble when he strangled three boys to death when they told him their names were "Edwin, Edison and Edbert" and his hatred for "Ed boys" consumed him.
Far from teaching Kevin and Rolf a lesson about how wrong their actions were, they instead became worse than ever. As the first week of his life in prison passed, horrible changes came over Kevin and Rolf. It began with a growing urge to smoke and drink alcohol, as well as smoke cocaine. Kevin who was still not sorry for what he had done, decided his old self had died. He vowed to make a change, but not one for the better.
He changed his name to Al Capone, and Rolf changed his name to Tony Accardo (or "big Tuna" as he preferred to be called) . Together, they formulated a very crafty escape plan. It was so elaborate that I could not begin to describe it, Suffice it to say, the two criminal masterminds crept out of prison leaving the guards no wiser, and even managed to steal one of the police cars in the process which they drove away in.
Kevin drove back to the "Cul de sac" with the sole intention of killing the Eds and to convince Nazz to be his girlfriend once more. He very nearly succeeded, but thanks to a well placed distraction , the Eds and Nazz escaped, leaving him to wallow in his misery.
Kevin created a gang with the neighborhood kids still loyal to him. He called his gang "the Capone mob" and promised everyone who joined his gang a very handsome payment if they joined him to track down the Eds. Everyone agreed of course, no one could resist the allure of so many delicious jawbreakers which Kevin would pay them if they joined his mob. And everyone who joined Kevin's mob changed their title to suit the fact they were now a member of "the Capone mob".
Kevin's mob consisted of the Kankers, Jimmy, Johnny and Rolf. The Kankers called themselves "the sisters of war" when they joined the "Capone mob", while the boys in Kevin's mob began to refer to each other as "the four horsemen".
Kevin, or Al Capone as he was now called began referring to himself as "death".
Tony Accardo "Big Tuna"(formerly Rolf) began referring to himself as "famine".
Sam Hunt "Golfbag"(formerly known as Johnny) began calling himself "war"
And Babyface Nelson (formerly known as Jimmy) titled himself "pestilence"
Their mission, scour America and the world until they found the Eds and to capture Nazz and Sarah.
"We need to find out where those foul ups took of to" announced Kevin (Al Capone) the next day when he called the neighborhood together.
"But where do we start looking, is the question" stated Rolf (Tony Accardo"Big Tuna").
"Well, Plank says we should uh, start looking for clues." added Johnny, looking at the piece of wood he carried around him everywhere he went.
"Hmmm, well we'd better start looking fast girls, cause our boyfriends owe us a whole lot of mouth to mouth time" sneered Lee as her sisters nodded in agreement.
As the group continued to break into discussion, Kevin looked up to the sky.
"Well played dorks" he said sarcastically "game on".
