I'm Ashley Volkov, and I'm the leader of the 'Rodeo Racers' group. I started it 7 years ago when I was 17. I had a little brother to take care of named Andy, he was only 10. It's me, my friend Miranda who goes by Sally Shotgun, and Bruce. Now I go by Hot Wheels, that's because I get around on roller skates. I'm the 4th fastest Bandit in all of Trap City, which is behind Red eye Mistress, Punk, and Gold Runner. The red-eye children. All of them are very weird, but they're very skilled. I've worked with Red Eye Mistress a few times.
She's very cocky and didn't even need me for the plan. Then when we got caught she sold me out and I got thrown in jail. I was in there until Sally stole enough money to bail me out. Now I'm 24 and my brother Andy is 17. he decided not to join my group and joined another named 'Freaks'. The group is filled with people that should be dead but aren't. One is a drowned kid named "Marine, he drowned when he was 12 and the group leader brought him back.
Now he's a human fish hybrid and can't survive without his water tank mask. The other teammate is a girl who got into an explosion when she was 14 and is now a robot. She goes by Mechanic and has her brain placed in a robotic replica of her body. No one has ever seen the leader of Freaks. But one Thursday morning, tragedy struck us all. My brother Andy was outside fighting with some street guy with an ax. All Andy had was his bare hands. Everyone had gathered around to watch the fight. "Ashley, Andy is outside fighting some guy with an ax", Sally shouted.
I ran outside and pushed past everyone to see the fight. "Andy", I shouted. Andy punched the guy in the face and he raised his ax in the air. "No", I shouted running towards him. It was too late, the guy had cut Andy's head clean off. Some people started running, crying, and going back to their homes. Bruce and Sally stayed right there with me. "Andy", I sobbed. I looked up and the guy who had done it and Bruce and Sally knew the plan. We gathered in a triangle around him. "What is this"? "You just killed my BROTHER", I shouted at him.
"Well, your brother swung at me first". Bruce punched him in the face and he fell over towards me. I kicked him in the head with my skates making him bleed. He fell over to Sally and she shot him in the back twice with her shotgun. "Yee-haw, you're done", she said in her southern accent. He fell to the ground and Bruce started to punch him over and over. Last I came up to him and slammed my skate onto his face, he was dead. I turned back to my brother's lifeless body. I started to cry and Bruce and Sally took me home.
In the middle of the night, we went back to collect his remains. I sat down next to him and looked at him. In the distance, I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw two figures in the distance. It was the Freaks. People had only ever claimed to see them, but none more than 2 people had ever seen them with their own eyes. Now Sally, Bruce, and I were. They looked down at his body then at me. "I'm Silvia Mendez, this is Fish Cater, we're the group you know as freaks", Mechanic said.
"Your brother talked about you a lot, he was a very special member of this group". Mechanic picked up his head and Marine grabbed his body. "We will do our best to honor him", they said walking away.
