Piggy Intercity

Chapter 3: Encounter.

Lorenzo realised he was a bit too loud and quickly hid behind the bushes, but Willow didn't hesitate. The Silver Paw was a gang formed by Willow. The leader of the gang. Lorenzo had knew about willow who was poor and once loved with her family and her brother. He never knew what happened to her. Willow began to walk towards the bush and found the three.
" Well well well.. Looks like we have some lone strangers in the forest... " she chuckled sinisterly. She noticed a pile of beans and other assortments. " Just a minute you, this food belongs to us. " Zack got up to the wretched wolf. " Sorry, we found this first. " He said. Willow snickered at this attempt of a zebra standing up. There was eight of willows gang, and three of them.

" I'm warning you. " Zack said, sounding more aggressive. " If you don't leave us alone I'm gonna.. " He was cut off. " What? Hit me? Look at us. " she waved her hand towards her gang members, hold all sorts of weapons. " Zack was beginning to rage. But when he was about to hit this wolf, she pulled out a gun that made Zack jump back startled. " Hold your hooves, pal. " she said. " I won't kill you, but we will take you somewhere.. " before Zack and the others could do anything, they were blinded by darkness as the TSP members covered them with a potato sack put them in a car. Lorenzo was trapped. He was scared and confused. Where was he going? He wished the infected never broke in and caused the fire that separated him from his only home left. After a few minutes of driving,the car stopped and Lorenzo could feel the sack being carried. Then the bag was emptied and Lorenzo looked around the room. It looked like a normal room but with chairs in. Willow walked inside and spoke to the three quivering animals. " Be a bunch of good boys and stay in here. " She cheerfully smiled and left and locked them in the room. Lorenzo looked over to Zack, who has a guilt of look on his face. " I'm so sorry guys. " he said, not looking up. " This was my fault. " " Are you kidding? It's totally my fault. I was being to loud only for her to notice me! " Lorenzo said. " We can't sit here blaming ourselves. " Jake said remorsefully. He lowered his voice to a whisper. " Luckily, She didn't tie us with ropes, so we could find a way out. " He began to search around the room. Lorenzo and Zack began to help too. Jake then came across a paper clip and formed it into a shape. He put it through a keyhole and the door managed to open. " Wow. " Zack said. " I didn't know it could work in reality. " The three tiptoed out of the room but was noticed by Felix. " ESCAPERS! ESCAPERS! " He shouted. The trio jumped in fright and legged it. They dodged the guards. Lorenzo looked back and saw the entire TSP gang running after them When they got through the door, their spot was far away. " We won't be able to get away! " He cried. Zack looked over and saw a spare car. He began to get in the car. " Quick! " he called out. Lorenzo and Jake hopped in as Zack drove away. " Darn it! They got away Willow! " Felix said. But willow wasn't fond. " It doesn't matter. " she said. She pulled out a picture of Rash, her old friend who once got infected. " It's not worth it. "
Back at their camp spot the three celebrated. " I gotta say Zack, your a good driver! " Jake said. " Thanks, I took some driving lessons after I left secondary. " Zack said. Throughout the rest of the day the trio relaxed and enjoyed the view, but a plot was brewing at the refinery. Felix sat in his mattress thinking of a plan. No one steals their food and gets away with it. Felix tiptoed in the back alleys where the infected rash was tied up. Felix carefully dragged it to the car. He quietly laughed at his plan. Meanwhile Lorenzo was having a dream, a horrible one. It showed flashbacks of when his camp was on fire, he tossed and turned until he woke up when Jake alerted him. " Lorenzo! Wake up! " he whisper shouted. " Ugh.. What? " Lorenzo muttered. " There's an infected in the woods, hide and don't make a sound. " He did exactly what he was told. Suddenly his mouth was covered by the orange raccoon, Felix. " No one steals our food and gets away with it! " Felix said. Zack then tackled Felix to the ground, freeing Lorenzo in the progress. " Don't touch him! " Zack exclaimed. " The two began to wrestle each other whilst Lorenzo and Jake fought off the infected. " Is that Rash?.. " Lorenzo said. He felt a bit upset for a moment. He knew rash was best friends with Tigry, but he sometimes was very helpful when being paired for work. Lorenzo and Jake had to shut down these thoughts and fight back. Back with Felix and Zack. Felix was now on top of Zack and was about to stab him. " Say some prayers my good friend.. " Felix said. " W-Why would you do this?! Just because of food?! " Zack strained. " Orders of willow. " Felix replied. He was about to end it when a voice stopped him. " Leave him, Felix. " He turned around and saw Tigry standing with Willow. " But he stole our food! " Felix protested. " Yes, but we could still search for some more in the city. "  Willow explained. " Now come over hear and head back to the Refinery. Felix rolled his eyes and followed Willow and Tigry. Lorenzo went towards Willow. " How come you decided to let us go? " he asked. " Willow looked over and saw Rash. " You see bud. " She said, sounding a bit upset. " You reminded me of an old friend I had. " Lorenzo looked behind him and saw Rash. It didn't take him long to realise what she meant. " Oh.. I'm so sorry.. " He said. " It's alright.. I'm starting to move on. " Tigry patted her back. " Sorry about Felix. Goodnight. " she said. The three drove off in the TSP's car. Lorenzo went over to Zack. " You ok man? " He asked. " Yeah. " Zack replied. " I do feel sorry for willow, but I don't why that guy would attack us! " The three tutted and went back to sleep.

Somewhere else in his mind..

Lorenzo... Lorenzo... WAKE UP!!!
Lorenzo woke up and saw things around him distort. He looked up and saw some sort of scarecrow in a purple suit with a top hat. " D-Do I know you? " He asked. The man laughed. " No my friend, you don't for now. How about we make a deal?.. "
