Chapter 2 - That girl

"ACE! Wake up!"

Ace groaned as he heard his name being called, feeling his body being nudged.

"Oi Merrill! Wake up!"

He groaned once more as he slowly forced his eyes open and looked up to see Eyeball crouched down in front of him.

"What the fuck happened to you?!" Eyeball snapped as he clicked his fingers to Billy and Charlie, who helped Ace sit up.

"I was-" Ace started as he looked around.

He was still in the alley.

"You look like you got beaten fucking hard." Charlie mumbled as his eyes fell on Ace's shirt, covered in blood.

"That girl..." Ace mumbled as he tried to regain his eyesight.

"What girl?" Eyeball asked curiously.

"A girl beat him up?" Vince tried to ask without laughing.

"She didn't beat me up!" Ace snapped but groaned as he kept shutting his eyes tightly, trying to regain his senses properly.

"The one the cops were looking for." Ace mumbled as he looked up at Eyeball.

"The cops were looking for a girl?" He questioned.

Ace nodded slowly. "I think I had a run in with her to say the least." He grumbled as he clung to Billy and Charlie, letting them hoist him up.

"Suppose you did the honourable thing and didn't knock her out." Eyeball mumbled as he moved himself so Ace could drape an arm around his shoulder.

"I headbutted her." Ace mumbled as he brought his other hand up to his nose, feeling the dried blood on his face.

"How is he still single?" Jack asked with a laugh as they began to lead Ace back home.

"What she look like?" Billy asked as they all sat around his living room, watching as Ace attempted to clean his face.

"Kinda hot." Ace mumbled as he scrubbed at his face.

The cobras all stared at him confused but he shrugged.

"Ain't gonna lie, she was hot." He mumbled as he dipped the cloth in the bowl of water again before continuing to clean his face.

"She was shorter than me, long dark hair, black leather jacket and those fingerless gloves. Eyebrow piercing, makeup was all smudged though." He mumbled as he tried to remember.

Any further questions were interrupted by a knock at the door as Charlie quickly got up to go get it.

"Sounds kinda hot." Eyeball mumbled as he fumbled with Ace's bloodied shirt he'd removed.

Ace nodded. "She was. Excusing the two guns aimed at my face."

Before they could say anything Charlie came back in, looking sheepish.
