The blonde boy and eye ball walked out of the diner. "Oh shit Chris." Gordie said putting his face into his hands. "Who was that asshole?" I asked. Chris copied Gordie, "That's Ace and eyeball." I sat there for a second and processed the names. "Oh shit..." I said, "The blonde is the one Gordie almost shot? And the other is your brother? Oh shit. Guys I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." Chris cut me off, "Kandy they've had it out for us forever. You didn't start anything that wasn't already going on. They didn't scare you?" He asked seeming concerned if I was ok. "Chris I grew up in Los Angeles, California. Guys like that don't scare me." Gordie and Chris both looked somewhat shocked. We heard a ruckus outside. The boys hopped up
And ran out to see what was going on. I ran behind them. Ace had a scrawny kid pinned underneath him, but was having a hard time keeping him down because he was kicking and screaming. "LET GO OF ME YOU FUCKER! LET GO OF ME OR ELSE I'LL BLAST YOUR BRAINS OUT! FUCK YOU LET ME UP!" Screamed the man on the ground as Ace struggled to keep him down. Eyeball had a chunkier guy in a full Nelson, "Shit let us go! We didn't do nothing to you! We was just walking to get a bit to eat! Let us go!" The chunky one pleaded. Chris ran up and grabbed Ace by the shirt and punched him in the face. This prompted eyeball to let go of the chunky one. Gordie ran over to him, "Vern you alright?" Vern nodded wide eyed. He looked near tears. "CHRIS LOOK OUT!" I yelled as eyeball came from behind him and tried to cheap shot punch him in the back of the head. Chris dodged it and punched eyeball in the stomach. We heard sirens. "SPLIT!" Gordie yelled, "SAFE HAVEN!" We all started running toward the tree house. Ace and eyeball ran the other direction yelling obscenities.
