The Ninth Alley

Escaping The Burly's

Chris' POV

"It says we're supposed to go North from here," Jonah spoke, eyeing the map up and down.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go," Lux stammered.

"Hold up cupcake. We've got three Burly's on our hands once we cross Sonoma. You think just running full speed ahead is ganna be easy?" Ronnie asked with a smirk.

"First, don't call me cupcake. Second, here's a loophole for you.. I'm awfully fast Ronnie," Lux grinned.

"Don't be too sure about that grandma," Blaze chuckled.

"Guys can we please stop arguing? We don't have all the time in the world," I added in. "Now, what's the plan?"

"I was thinking maybe you guys can enter through the west side of the border," Jonah pointed at Ronnie and I. "And then me, Lux, and Blaze come in from the East side and then we whip out the big boys and start tearing up some Burly's,"

"That's what we do every time. Can't we be a little more like Fast and Furious and take some of them out with the car?" Blaze asked with raised eyebrows.

"We only have one car idiot. It'll get trashed," I laughed.

"Okay Chris, you've got a point. But when we get our second car I'm driving," Blaze chuckled and pointed to himself.

We've currently been driving through California and upwards towards Sonoma. According to some of the articles we've found, it looks like one of the first alleys is there. We just need to get in.

We all hopped in the car and swiftly but quickly drove towards the border of Sonoma City. It was around 10:10 at night. The darkness would hide us easily amongst the Burly's.

Jonah parked the car behind a tall tree and we all took careful steps outside of the car.

"You guys head that way," Jonah whispered to Ronnie and I whilst pointing towards a path leading towards the West side of the city border.

I nodded in agreement, slipping away with Ronnie.

Silently we crouched and hid among the tall bushes and trees.

"They should be around here somewhere.." Ronnie trailed off staring down at his specialty watch. Ronnie's specialty watch contains many gadgets and tools used in helping us with our journey. Things like radioactive measuring, a thermal radar, signal jamming, time, and code hacking was all included in Ronnie's watch.

Suddenly, a group of voices could be heard across a few bushes and trees to where a small campfire was lit. Three muscular, dark haired men sat amongst the fire chatting with each other and occasionally laughing here and there.

"When should we go?" I asked quietly.

"Just give me a sec," Ronnie replied.

Ronnie fiddled around with his watch and then turned his attention back to the men. Then swiftly he took out his sub machine gun. He labeled it as "the dark nightmare" seeing as to how he painted it pitch black.

"Let's go," Ronnie whispered while leading the way towards the three men.

Ronnie began shooting at one of the men, who quickly dodged a few bullets and came running towards us. I quickly ran past Ronnie and towards another one of the men with Lux right on the other side of him. Without thinking I threw a rope grenade towards the feet of the man. Once the grenade popped, the rope latched itself around the feet of the guy who quickly fell to the ground. Lux roundhouse kicked the man and the whipped out her submachine gun shooting at the man who was now dead on the ground from the bullets. Lux laced her bullets with poison just to make sure the Burly's would be dead.
