Doing It Right

Chapter 4

My feet hit the soft grass and I pull my gun ready to fire.

"Clear." I whisper to Johnson who quickly jumps over landing next to me.

"What exactly are we looking for?" Johnson asks.

"I dont know exactly. Like why are they suddenly leaving? It can't be because of our gang." I say turning on the flashlight on my phone and searching the ground.

"You heard them. Emmettsville is the place to be cause of us." Johnson says turning on his flashlight and searching.

"Yeah, but why!?" I ask curiosity getting the better of me.

"I dont know. Look the rest of the gang had probably found nothing. So we should get back." Johnson says his voice wavering. He's not seriously scared.

My eyes light up as I see a piece of paper on the ground.

"Ah ha." I say picking it up. I turn it over and a single name is written on it: "Kenzie Lawley." Who is that?

"What'd you find?" Johnson asks taking the paper from me. "Who's Kenzie Lawley?"

"I dont know. But what if she's in some kind of danger?" I ask. "Maybe that's why they're moving." I keep looking on the ground and sigh seeing nothing.

"We should show this to the boss." He says. I turn and shine my light on him.

"Why!?"

"Ah! Dude your light!" He cover his eyes. I grab the paper back and stuff it in my pockets.

"The boss is gonna think we are insane giving him a simple name. No there has to be a reason he wants to track JC and a reason JC has this girls name on a paper." I say moving the light from his eyes.

"So what? We are gonna find out?" He crosses his arms.

"Exactly. Johnson you have to promise not to say anything." I say.

"Fine." He raises his arms in surrender.

"Alright. Let's head back." I say turning back to the fence.

As we get back to the meeting spot, we only have to wait maybe five minutes till everyone's back. Donté loads us all back into the vans and we head back to the hideout.

All i could wonder was who is Kenzie Lawley and what was her connection to JC.

The next day, I woke Johnson up early and we headed to the debrief room. The only room in the entire hideout that had files up files of everyone this gang had ever taken down. Unfortunately, my dad's file wasn't in there. So I still dont know why they killed my dad.

"Find anything yet?" I ask Johnson.

"Maybe." He mumbles. I close the file I have on some guy named Richard and lean over to look at the papers in Johnsons hand. I see the name Crawford Collins.

"Okay? His last name isn't Lawle-" Johnson holds up his hand interrupting me.

"It says here he has been sighted with a gang leaders sister recently." Johnson says.

"What gang leader?" I ask.

"A guy by the name of Kian Lawley." He looks up at me.

"Is Kenzie his sister?" I ask putting it together.

"Possible. And Crawford has a brother in the gang....that's partially why he's so close to her. They also live in Emmetsville." Johnson says as he keeps reading.

"Alright. So what does JC want with Kenzie? To kidnap her? Does he want her to get to Kian?" I start asking questions confusing myself more.

"I dont know Jack." Johnson shakes his head. I go back to going through files. I stop as I see the name Nash.

"Didn't JC mention a Nash?" I say pulling out the file.

"Yeah why?" Johnson glances at me.

"Well it looks like our gang has info on Nash. He's a good student in school....shot a guy when he was 12. The guy broke in...turns out the guy was in JCs gang....so JC recruited him..." I skim through the information.

"Anything else?"

"Yeah...him and his family used to live in Emmetsville...he has a brother....doesn't say his name though." I shake my head.

"None of this is making sense!" Johnson sigh frustrated.

"Okay so we have kian Lawley who has a gang in Emmetsville." I say sitting down in a chair.

"Yes and apparently he has a younger sister named Kenzie who is best friends with a Crawford Collins who's brother is in Kians gang." Johnson adds still going through the files.

"And JC wants Kenzie for some unknown reason and Nash is somehow involved. Why wouldn't Nash want to move back to Emmetsville?" I rub my hands over my face in frustration.

"What are you two doing in here?" We jump hearing Donté s voice ask.

"Uh...just reading up on JCs gang...in case we run into them." Johnson quickly says shutting the filing cabinet he was searching through.

"Well you will know what one of them looks like very soon. We caught one of them snooping around the hideout." Donté says motioning for us to follow.

I glance at Johnson who looks at me uncertain. I shrug and then follow Donté.
