A Subway Encounter
By Sarah Bross

Part 1
Departure

Nine people stood on the platform waiting for the train, three girls and six guys. They all wore black hoody jackets with ?The Whispers? emblazoned on the back and on the right breast of the jacket in white squiggly letters. They were consisting of 90 guys and girls, mostly Caucasian, residing in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Their Warlord?s name was Gazz. He was a young man in his twenties with curly black hair down to his shoulders. To distinguish himself as the leader he wore a black tam hat, which he usually hid all his hair under so it was else easy for him to be mistaken as a girl. It had happened before. The last guy who grabbed his ass was on the ground with a black eye faster than you could say ?greased lightening?.

?Hey, West.?

The Warchief stood out among the gang as well. His skin was very pale and he had pink eyes as well as white blond hair. He was an albino. He looked at Gazz.

?Yeah??

?Nobody?s packed and they know the rules, right?? Gazz was the type who liked to be sure everything was hunky-dory before diving into things. West nodded.

?They all know about the truce, and even Blaze doesn?t have his lighter.? West answered, nodded towards one of the heavy muscle guys. He was tall with light brown hair hanging in his face, and looked slightly miffed at having to leave his precious lighter at home. His friend and fellow heavy muscle Franklin was trying to cheer him up. The redhead eventually gave up and left Blaze to mope.

?Yeah, I?d like to get on the friggin? train sometime this century!? A young woman with dirty blond hair yelled at the tunnel that the train was going to come out of. People where often surprised to find out she was one of the muscle.

?Calm down Honey.? Gazz said. ?Unless you want the cops to jump on our backs for making a ruckus.?

She scowled, sticking her tongue out at him when he turned his head away.

?Well aren?t you in a good mood!? Griffin said to her, obviously not serious. He was of average height, and had his brown hair shaved short. He also carried a boombox in one hand. Honey rolled her eyes and went back to watching for the train.

Valentine, the memory, a woman with short black hair and gray eyes caught Griffin?s eye. She mouthed ?She?s the PMS Queen?, causing him to snicker. Honey glanced at him and he turned his laugh into a sneeze.

Griffin?s cousin Indigo was the first to hear the train. ?Here it comes.? She was a petite girl with her hood up all the time, her red blond bangs poking out from underneath it. She carried a few spray paint cans in her shoulder bag and was the gang?s writer.

?Finally,? Camboune the bearer sighed, getting up from his seat on the floor. He was a mousy-faced boy with curly brown hair. The train rolled into the station, the doors opening with a hiss. Gazz looked at Honey, Valentine and Indigo and nodded in the direction of the train. In his book, being the leader of a gang is no excuse to not be a gentleman. That was the way he was.

The three girls filed onto the train, only to see The Warriors from Coney Island already sitting there. Their Warlord, Cleon nodded to the girls as a kind of platonic greeting. They nodded back and edged past the other guys to get to the empty seats across from them. Ajax let Valentine and Indigo by, but propped his feet up on the seat across from him so Honey couldn?t walk past. 

?Well lookit what we have here.? Ajax said. ??The Whispers?, huh??

Honey scowled at him as the guys began to file onto the train. ?Yeah, what?s it to you, Warrior??

?Just wondering what a chick?s doing in a gang.? He replied.

Honey leaned in close to his face, the other Warriors got ready to jump to his defense.

?Because if there wasn?t a truce, I would?ve already smashed your face in. So you can consider yourself lucky, pretty-boy.? She hissed, moving away from him, choosing to stand rather than sit down. Ajax just grinned at her.

?Heh?well whaddaya know, the kitten?s got claws.? 

Honey lunged forward, fist at the ready, but Gazz was faster. He grabbed her wrist and jerked her back up to face him.

?Remember the truce, Honey. Unless I have to remind you.? He spoke in a firm tone. She pulled her hand away. As Gazz moved away from her she glared at Ajax. He just gave her a smarmy ?I-won-you-lost? grin.

Gazz shrugged at Cleon as a form of apology. Cleon nodded in response.

The car was quiet as the train started moving. The Warriors watched The Whispers with a wary eye, and vice-versa. Vermin grinned at Indigo, earning a glare from Griffin.

?So what?s your name?? Vermin asked, leaning forward in his seat. Indigo didn?t look at him, instead she got up and sat farther away from him. This caused his fellow Warriors to start laughing.

?Guess she?s not interested, Verm.? Cochise chuckled.

?Ya just might wanna watch how you talk to her.? Griffin said, narrowing his eyes.

?Griffin??  Indigo trailed off, slightly embarrassed.

?How?d she end up with you guys anyway?? Ajax, of course, had to open his mouth. ?She don?t look tough to me.?

Indigo looked at her lap, her hood shadowing her face.

?Enough, Ajax.? Cleon ordered.

?I?ll have you know Indigo is our best writer.? Griffin explained, putting his arm around his cousin?s shoulders. 

?Well good for her,? Ajax sneered. ?Though it?s a cryin? shame she won?t last a minute during a fight.?

?Cram it!? Griffin snapped.

Ajax put on a face of mock fear. ?Oh, I?m shaking, skinhead!?

?I said that?s enough!? Cleon barked.

?Shut it, Ajax.? Swan said. ?You know there?s a truce.?

?Hmph?sure, Warchief.?

?You guys are from Coney Island, right?? Valentine asked Cowboy, who happened to be sitting across from her.

?You got it. Where are you from??

?Sunset Park.? Fox answered for Valentine. She glanced at him.

?Correct.? Valentine responded, nodding at him. He just half-smiled at her.

There was silence once again as the train roared off towards The Bronx.


(A/N: Will The Warriors and Whispers make it to The Bronx without any problems? Will Honey get  through the trip without killing Ajax? Will the United States ever adopt the Metric System? (Not likely!) Stay tuned for part 2!)

[Space Toaster]

Part 2
Arrival

As the train continued down the tracks to The Bronx, several of The Warriors and Whispers soon found themselves in conversation with one another. Gazz and Cleon were talking about the origins of their gangs. Rembrandt was explaining to Indigo how her kept a steady hand when tagging, not noticing the shy glances the female writer stole at Snow ever know at then. Blaze and Franklin were fooling around, naturally, and even trading semi-dirty jokes with Cochise and Vermin. Honey had considerably warmed up to Ajax and was getting rather??chummy? with him. Camboune watched out the corner of his eye, somewhat jealous, seeing as he had feelings for her for quite a while.

She half-smiled at him. ?Heh, normally I stick to guys from my own clique, but I like your style.?

Ajax smirked. ?How about after this dumb powwow?s over we get together for a little ?conclave? of our own?? The hand he had on her shoulder drifted down to rest on her rear end.

?Sounds good to me??

?Forget it Ajax.? Cleon said, having overheard them. ?We don?t have the time.?

?Same goes for you, Honey.? Gazz added. ?We?re going to the conclave then straight back to Brooklyn.?

?Oh joy.? She deadpanned, obviously annoyed with her leader, slouching in her seat. Ajax looked none too happy with Cleon himself.

Valentine rolled her eyes. ?How fitting that Honey would end up with a guy who thinks with his libido.?

?Shut it, b***h.? Ajax snapped.

?You first, you stupid ape.? Valentine spat back at him.

That did it. Ajax lunged forward to take a swing at her, only to have Honey jump up in front of him.

?Don?t even think about it.? She narrowed her eyes at him. Ajax sneered at her and took a seat again, ticked off that she didn't take his side. Honey sat away from him next time. The feud was back in motion. Cleon looked like he was beginning to regret picking Ajax as one of the heavy muscle.

?Ajax, over here. Now.? Cleon had Ajax follow him to the farther end of the compartment.

?Ooo, someone?s getting lectuuuured!? Blaze giggled, getting elbowed in the ribs by Franklin.

?So what do you guys think this conclave thing is all about?? West asked Swan, who shrugged.

?Don?t know, not even Fox has heard anything. We?re gonna have to wait and find out.?

?Guess you?re right,? West responded, shrugging himself.

?Hey Fox, how much longer till we?re there?? Cowboy leaned back in his seat, pushing his hat over his eyes.

?About fifteen minutes.? Fox responded, looking at the subway map with Rembrandt.

Ajax then walked from the far end of the train, looking none too happy about getting a talking to. He stormed back to his seat, practically hissing and spitting like an angry cat.

?Don?t tell me to f***ing ?calm down?, bulls****?? He muttered under his breath. Indigo looked up from her sketchbook as he passed her. Ajax glared at her in a way that could only be described as venomous.

?What??

?N-nothing.? Indigo squeaked, eyes going back to her sketchbook.

?Leave her alone, it?s not her fault you can?t control yourself.? Swan remarked.

Ajax glared at the warchief before taking his seat across from Honey. The two then engaged in a staring contest consisting mainly of death glares. A Camboune (who was still jealous) shook his head and glanced sidelong at Vermin.

?How long do you think until he?s trying to feel her up again?? He asked.

?Five minutes, tops.? Vermin snickered.

?Or not, ?cause we?re here.? Fox said, having heard in on their conversation. The train had indeed pulled into the station at The Bronx. The doors opened with a hiss and both gangs began to file out. Several of them exchanged goodbyes, now on better terms then when they got on the train. Honey just glared at Ajax and ignored him.

Gazz was talking with Cleon as they exited the train.

?You guys ain?t a bad bunch. You wanna to consider an alliance or I dunno, affiliation?? Gazz asked.

?I?ll think about it.? Cleon responded.

?Well, when you decide, you?re welcome in Sunset Park whenever.? Gazz half-smiled, walking off with his gang. ?Let?s go Whispers.?

***

It was now hours after the conclave. Cyrus had been shot and the blame was placed on The Warriors. Several gangs were trying to make it home alive, The Whispers included.

Honey sighed and tossed her hair over her shoulder. She was walking through Central Park with Indigo, Griffin, Franklin and Blaze.

?It sucks we got separated from the others, damn cops.? Franklin muttered. To avoid being spotted by the police, they split up and ran onto different trains. They?d gotten away safely, but now they had no idea where Gazz, West, Valentine or Camboune were.

?And our radio got busted at the conclave, so we have no idea what?s going on.? Griffin said, holding up his boombox, which looked like it had seen better days.

?Goddamnit, let me go!? A familiar voice shouted in the distance. The five Whispers stopped.

?I know that voice?? Honey said. They ran up and ducked into some bushes. Ajax was handcuffed to a park bench, taking a swing at a woman in an orange blouse.

?She must be a cop or something.? Franklin whispered.

?Sucks for him?? Blaze muttered.

A squad car pulled up, two cops coming out of it. Ajax knocked down the first one, but the second got him in the stomach with his nightstick. The Warriors doubled over and lifted his head up, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

?F***in? wimp.? He muttered.

Two more squad cars pulled up, and the Whispers ducked back into the bushes.

?Guess we?ll have to wait until they get out of here before we keep going.? Griffin shrugged.

?What about Ajax?? Indigo asked.

?There?s seven of them and five of us. We?d probably end up in jail with him.? Blaze said, peeking out at the cops.

?No we won?t.? Honey said. ?At least not if we do it right.?

?You mean you have-?? Franklin started.

?I have an idea.? Honey finished for him. ?Follow me, we?re getting him out.? She crawled off into the bushes, Indigo, Franklin and Blaze following her. Griffin sighed before following suite.

?Gazz isn?t going to like this??
