His Little Cobra - Ace Merrill

One week.

One week.

It had been one week since Ace Merrill and the rest of the cobras had been arrested without their girls to bail them out.

It had been one week since Ace Merrill watched the girl of his dreams and nightmares speed off into the distance.

It had been one week where the people of Castle Rock thought they'd catch a break and finally get some peace and quiet.

It had been one week since they were wrong. Oh so very wrong.

J, King, Club and Jack had officially moved in as the new leaders of Castle Rock. They were now the ones people moved aside for.

Chris, Vern, Teddy and Gordie had all had their fair share of run ins and often ended with them on the floor begging for mercy.

Chris helped Gordie up and brushed him down as King and Club walked off laughing, yet another successful day they deemed.

"Dude we got to do something!" Teddy snapped at them as he yanked Vern out from his hiding place of behind the bin.

"And what? What are we gonna do?!" Chris snapped back at him.

"Well I don't know but we gotta do something!" Teddy shouted as the pair got in each other's faces.

Before either could continue Gordie grabbed their shirts and pulled them apart, placing a hand on each other chests.

"Chill out we'll think of something." He started.

"I got an idea." Vern quietly spoke.

The others ignored him as they carried on talking trying to think of something.

"We could always just let them carrying on doing whatever till one of us ends up dead!" Teddy snapped again at Chris.

"Oh yeah that's a real genius plan there Corporal Douchebag!" Chris retaliated.

"Guys!" Gordie was doing his best to keep the peace but tensions really were flying high.

"I know what to do." Vern tried speaking up again.

"You wanna call me that again Chambers chicken?! I didn't see you standing up to them!"

"Duchamp douchebag!"

"You're both douchebags now shut up!" Gordie snapped.

"Oh come on Gordo even you ain't gonna stop them!" Teddy snapped at them.

Vern sighed as he looked worried between his friends. He hated seeing them fighting and had to figure out a way to get them to stop but if Gordie couldn't then how could he?

Suddenly he dropped to the floor, the others instantly stopped shouting at each other and turned down to look at him.

"What are you doing Verno?" Teddy asked confused.

"Getting you all to listen to me. I have an idea."

They all gave each other the same look, Vern wasn't exactly the good ideas man of their group.

"We gotta get the girls back." He started as Chris offered him a hand to pull him up.

"Are you serious?!" Teddy snapped.

"They weren't exactly our best friends." Gordie mumbled.

"I liked Diamond.." Chris mumbled, thinking of the girl he could tell had a thing with his brother.

"No they weren't but they did have one thing." Vern continued.

Three expectant faces stared at him. "They had control over the cobras. If we get the girls back, they get the cobras out and then there's a whole lot more of us going up against those meanies." He finished off.

Gordie sighed as Teddy dragged his hands down his face.

"Are you not remembering the last time we were all up against them?" Chris asked, using two fingers to pretend like he was holding a gun against his head.

Vern quickly nodded. "Yes but remember what the girls did? They beat them, took their guns and we won right? This will work I swear!" He begged the boys to agree.

"One problem there Vern." Gordie started.

"We don't know where or how to get the girls back." Teddy finished up.

The four kids all looked down at the ground defeated.

"So we're fucked." Chris mumbled.

"Royally fucked." Teddy mumbled.

"Stuck with them forever." Gordie mumbled.

"I'm hungry." Vern mumbled.

Chris gave him a pointed look but before any of them could speak again they looked up to the sound of two motorbikes. Chris grabbed Gordie as Teddy grabbed Vern and they rushed around the corner, hiding from the new terrors of Castle Rock.

Chris slowly peeked around as he saw the two bikers climb off as remove their helmets. Relief flushed through him as he saw Seven and Diamond frantically look around.

He nudged the others and rushed out, followed by them. Diamond caught his eye and rushed over to him, grabbing his arms.

"Where's Ace!?" She shouted.

"Where's Ace?" He asked confused.

Diamond paused.

"Wait which Ace are you after?" Chris asked confused.

"Our Ace obviously." Diamond snapped back sarcastically.

Chris shrugged as he glanced between the other boys. Diamond let him go as he turned back to her.

"Last we saw she was driving off with you two." Gordie said as he stepped forward.

Diamond and Seven exchanged a worried look as Chris grabbed Diamond's arm.

"You gotta get the cobras out of jail! Eyeball's in there!" He said as he yanked on her arm.

"Trust me that's the least of our problems right now." Seven mumbled.

Teddy walked forward and waved his arms about. "What fucking other problem is there besides her crazy ass brothers?!"

Seven and Diamond exchanged another look before Diamond turned back to the boys.

"Her brothers are still here?" She asked them.

They all nodded as Vern reached up and folded his arms across his chest, he hated having them around, even more so without the cobras out and about to keep them distracted.

Diamond gave Seven another look before turning back to the four young boys.

"All the cobras are locked up?" She questioned.

Chris nodded. "Yeah and we gotta get them out to face the brothers and take back the town."

Seven and Diamond gave each other yet another look the boys couldn't understand. Gordie didn't like it. Seven stepped forward.

"Believe it or not... jails the safest place for them right now." She mumbled to them.

"What? How?" Chris asked as the others all seemed just as confused.

Diamond looked down at him, the poor innocent young boy. How he had no idea what was coming. The storm that was about to be brought down. The storm that was Ace out for revenge.
