Chapter 7

"Alright gang! Listen up! We've got two more day to get to The Supreme Rank! So no distractions!" I pep talked my friends as we sat on my brothers front porch. We glanced at Jet for a seconded then I went back to talking. "As soon as we get to to where we need to be make sure to keep your guard up! We could be ambushed unexpectedly or attacked or-."

Just then I felt someone grab my sides causing me to jump out of my skin. "Boo!"

I grabbed my chest and turned around to see Rory smiling while twirling his car keys with his fingers. "Gotcha! Okay, ready to go?"

I pushed Rory back as he laughed. "Yeah. Lets go."

Rory offered to give us a ride to the border wall to pay up from last night. Okay, I lied. I asked. Don't give me that look! I really didn't want to walk all day, plus he owed me for being a jerk. So I have my reasons.

We all piled into his truck as he started the engine. I climbed up in the front when Nia asked, "so how are we suppose to get into The Higher Rank?"

I groaned at the though of climbing another wall and said, "well as soon as we get to the gate I'll come up with something. I've got to see what were working with this time. Plus this gate his heavily armed and taller than the last one." Nia nodded as Wrench jumped up on her lap.

"And were talking about the city of the wealthiest people ever! We got break into some houses and stores when we get there!" Jet grinned.

Rory sighed and gripped the steering wheel. "You really haven't changed, Jet."

Jet smirked and rested his arm on the edge of the open window.

Rory backed up the truck and zoomed down the quiet road. It took awhile to get to the gate. Around two hours.

Rory was getting impatient with Jet sticking his head out the window when I said, "we're here!"

Rory stopped the car as an enormous wall loomed over us. In front of us was a wide gate guarded with Supreme Rank soldiers.

I sighed and climbed out of the car when Rory said, "you be careful, okay?"

I smiled and shut the door. "You know me. I'm never careful about stuff."

He laughed and winked at me. "See ya, bro."

As Nia shut the door he honked at us and zoomed away leaving us coughing out smoke. "Alright, lets see if we can somehow get through the gates" I sighed.

We approached the gates teller box when the lady inside said, "your Radford Smith, right?" Jet choked back a chuckle as I nodded. "Your free to go through the gates with your friends" she smiled.

Okay, I have to admit, this was not apart of my plan. This actually made my day.

"Um... can I ask how you know my name?" I asked

The lady looked up from her papers and laughed as if my questioned was a joke. "Well your name is on my VIP list. You must be pretty important to gain access out of this gate and the next one. Looks like your heading to The Supreme Rank."

I gulped and nodded as we walked towards the large gates. As they slowly swung open Jet stopped and smiled in satisfaction. "Finally! Some fun!"

Nia and I turned to him. "What do you mean?"

Jet rubbed his hands together and stepped in front of us. "Beyond these gates I get some action going. I'll catch up with you guys tonight. I have some stuff to do." He charged past the gates cheering.
