Wow, where are Bear and warrior?
Anyway, here's my first part. Sorry it's taken so long to get up, but in the last week I've had to write an essay, study for exams and loads of other things too.
“Man, why are we on patrol?” Cowboy complained.
“I dunno.” I replied bluntly.
“Should be some new bloods or something.” He said, adjusting his Stetson.
“Should be.” I nodded.
“Hey, Swan!” I heard a voice behind me and turned to see Cleon jogging up to me, Vermin a few paces behind.
“What’s up?” I asked.
“Some crew from Staten Island, the Gerards, wrecked some new bloods sent out on a scouting mission,” Cleon explained. “Virgil wanted a four-man team to go give their hangout a few Molotovs in retribution.”
“And you want us to come along?” I finished Cleon’s sentence for him.
“Yeah.”
“Yeah, sure,” Usually I’d think about this, but I was sick of this patrolling crap. “Me and Cowboy will come along.”
“Alright, cool,” Cleon nodded. “We’ll meet you in the hangout in a few minutes.”
I nodded at him, before he and Vermin headed back the way they had come.
We walked along the bridge and through the door into the hangout, where Cleon, Vermin, Virgil and Lemmy were stood around a pool table.
“Swan and Cowboy,” Virgil said in his high-pitched tone. “Good to see you finally made it.”
“We were finishing up a lame-ass patrol.” I replied bitterly.
“Whatever,” Virgil replied flippantly. “Now you know the drill, yeah? You’re headed down to their hangout and throwing a few Molotovs in there; that should teach ‘em not to mess with the Destroyers. Get going.”
Cleon and Vermin turned to walk off, but I stood still.
“Wait, aren’t you telling us where we’re going? Staten Island’s a big place.”
“Cleon knows where you’re going.” Virgil replied.
“What, so you’re relying on other people to do your job for you?”
“Leave it.” Cowboy said in my ear, before pulling me away from Virgil.
“I dunno why you always kick off with him, man.” Vermin said when Cowboy and I had caught up with him and Cleon.
“Well, y’know, he shoulda told us too.”
“Forget about Virgil,” Cleon said. “We gotta be thinkin’ ‘bout them Gerards.”
The four of us headed up the steps and onto the platform, where a train has just pulled up. Some people got off, before we headed on inside and sat down on the ripped seats.
