Scarlett (Complete) A Tracy Beaker Fanfic. Sequel to Willow

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter 17 - Pour Me.

I stretch my sore limbs and sit up. I rub my eyes. Carys snoring beside me. Rick beside him. I look up to the dustbin.

"Where'd Marcus go?" I ask nobody.

"Nowhere" a voice says.

I look up to the voice. He sits on the alley wall behind us.

"How long have you been up there?"

"I'd say about 2 hours"

I sigh.

"What time is it?"

He looks down at his watch.

"Half six, its still pretty earlier for us to wake them and leave"

I nod agreeing with him. But how long do we have?

"Come on. Were not far from a park. We can go eat there or just stretch our legs"

"Yeah alri" I say picking myself up.

I throw my bag over my shoulders and look down at Rick and Cary sleeping.

"Should we wake 'em?"

"Nahh.. Leave them. They won't be happy if we wake them this early"

I quietly step away from them.

"Should we really leave dem 'ere on der own?"

"They'll be fine"

I shrug. Marcus jumps down from the dumpster, bag already on his back and starts walking down the alley. I quickly catch up with him. We walk down the street and soon find ourselfs outside the park gates.

We walk into the park and stop by a pond. I put down my bag and take out a bottle of water and drink the remainer. I pull out my bag of carrot sticks and start munching away. I hardly look at him. I keep my eyes to the pond and watch a family of ducks swimming.

"How'd ya think ya're caretaker feels now dah ya've run away?"

"Not too happy.."

"Wha are ya gunna do afta we've found Willow and bring her home?"

"I'll properly go on my own.. Might get a job, find somewhere to stay.."

"I don't think dah's a very good idea"

"And you think coming out here to find your dangerous father that's kidnapped your friend is?"

"Good point"

"When they guys get up we'll start going to the train station then. Its about five miles out of the town. We can get a bus that'll bring us half way"

"After dis I'm neva gettin on a bus again"

He laughs. I smile but I'm serious. No more buses. I'm already sick of them.

"Hey where'd you guys go?" Cary asks as he stands up from where he was sitting on the dumpster.

"We went to the park to eat and walk around. You guys ready?" Marcus says looking at Cary then Rick.

Rick nods and throws his bag on his back as Cary hops down from the dumpster.

"We can get a bus now that'll get us halfway to the train station, we can walk the rest of the way" Rick says already knowing the plan.

We walk down the alley again and up the street, past shops, cinema's and bakeries.

"So we have about two miles to walk and then we're there" Cary states as he hops off the bus.

"Yeah exciting huh?" I say nudging him.

"I got to say Scarlett your very calm for someone who's going to be seeing her dangerous dad"

I shrug. How come Cary always knows everything? I mean I'm going out of my mind here. How does he know? I'm not wigging out.

"Hey guys" Rick calls as we reach the old train station.

Its old and mostly made of wood. Its torn down and not very stable looking. Paint peels off the walls.

"What?"

"I found Liam's bag" he says holding it up for us.

"Were was it?" Cary asks as he takes the bag.

"In the dumpster.. I couldn't find him.."

"Da's got him" I say. "Damn it! I thought Cary told 'em ta be careful!"

"Guys.. There's blood on Liam's bag" Cary whispers shaking.

I snatch the bag and toutch the dark blood stain on the bag. Its hasn't been there too long.

We all look at the train station more afraid then ever about what we'll find next.
