Street Rats 4

Part 4! Brought to you by my school.

"What do you want?" The Kecleon glared.

"We have money today... we need 5 Oran berries....." Flash muttered, placing the bag of money on the counter.

"You steal this?" He said questioningly.

"No!" I snarled in return, "Someone gave it to us. A friend is sick..."

"Oh right right because I care about the goings on in the criminal underworld."

"Shut the hell up..." I snarled as he handed Flash the goods and our change.

"Now get out of my sight before I tell the Guild you were here. Have they informed you about the new policy? Criminals are fair game to anyone now. News just came in from HQ."

We slid into the shadows as a magnemite flew by. The security had almost doubled from when I came into town yesterday. Where were those rescue teams now- Oh. I blinked as our hiding space was lit up with the blinding light from the move Flash. Before us stood a powerful- looking rescue team. Obviously Kecleon tipped them off. Bastard.

"We are Rescue Team Fissure!" The leader, a Rhydon, said as he stepped foreward. The other two were a Sandslash and a Persian. "Return those stolen goods immedietly and come quietly, we don't want any trouble."

"We didn't steal-!" Flash yelped as the Sandslash came flying forward, slashing at his side. He dodged a swift from the Persian and I flew forward, protecting him, and took the full force of Rhydons's hammer arm on my back.

"Shenzi!" I heard him cry as I struggled to my paws. I was bleeding slighty from my mouth; the attack had landed a direct hit.

"Run Flash." I snarled through my own confusion. "Just run, only one of us can make it out of here."

"Shenz-"

"Run!" I howled, forcing myself to lunge at the Sandslash. My muscles were weak, my back ached, and I could barely think straight. I spit flames from my mouth, creating a distraction while Flash bolted. His swift paws would get him back. At least I would go down fighting....

"One got away." Rhydon muttered to the Magnezone before him, keeping his voice down so the crowd that had gathered couldn't hear.

"Bzzt- We will find it soo- Bzzt- They will come for their friend."

"I don't know..." Sandslash muttered. "What if they don't"

"Just give them time Sandstorm." Rhydon growled. "We caught the ringleader, they'll be in disorder without her."

"Yea..." I chuckled from the dirt, my paws shackled to prevent eacape. "They'll be in disorder alright. They'll be in disorder when they rip rip your throat out, too." I spat at him, my bloody saliva smearing on the side of that lumps face. "You just wait.." I tried to put as much strength in my words as I could, but the fuzzy feeling in my head was growing stronger.

"Take her away," The Rhydon growled, wiping his face with the back of his arm. I was lifted up by a group of Magnemite's power carried away. We floated past the Guild, and I wished I could hae gone there. Too late now...

CRASH! The cell doors before me slammed shut, barring out my chances of escape. My paws had been unound and, now that they were free, I could move freely around my cell. I bit my lip and stumbled over to the small next in the corner. I would be here a while, might as well be comfortable... I slumped into the loosely made nest and curled up, drifting into thought. Would they really be ok without me? Did Flash make it back? What would they think? I curled up even tighter. The walls of the cell seemed to be crashing down on me. "Where's my heart, really?" I found myself muttering, propping my head against the edge of the nest. I knew where it was, it was with the criminals of this town. My captors didn't see it that way, that crime came from the heart. They never would.... never....
