Alpha's Gang Girl

Chapter 9 - Truths, Lies and Old Times

When I woke up I was in a bed and Joe was no where to be seen. I walked out and found him making breakfast.

"You ok?" I ask. He looked different. The fun, jokey, caring, sweet guy that I knew wasn't their.

"Uh....sure. I..uh...I."

"Joe, step away from the stove and come sit down." He follows my instructions and come sit down.

"What happened?"

"I got a call this morning... Uncle Robby's dead."

"Damit. That was my favorite uncle. Oh..uh.. We'll get through this."

"Its just.. He was like the dad I never had. He accepted that I was in a gang and was completely ok with it I mean what father does that with his kid. He was the best person I knew." He says. Preach brother.

The thing with uncle Rob is that he knew that me and Joe were in gangs and was alright with it. He made one rule with us. To make sure and never get caught or called in for killing someone.
And he practically raised Joe after his father walked out on him when he was three. What a dick right?! I mean if your a father you can't just leave your own kid. He's your flesh and blood. You have gotta have some balls if you just decide to leave your damn kid before you can experience family.

"Mal, you ok?"

"Yea I was just thinking. So when's the funeral?"

"In two days."

"Oh ok. Well we better get bac-"

Right then the pot on the stove is engulfed by flames; scaring the hell outta me and Joe.

"Get the fire extinguisher!" I shout.

"I don't have one!" He shouts back

"Why the hell don't you have one?!" I shout again as we run around trying to look for something to put out the flames.

"I never though to buy one. But I did have one. Its somewhere here." He shouts again.

Then I spot the extinguisher and run for it. When I do get it its a little light. Well its gotta do.

I run to the fire and spray. Everything was now mostly in white including a slightly angered Joe.

"Your dead meat." He says as he wipes the foam of face so he can see and breathe.

Next thing I knew I was being chased by an really funny looking foam faced guy. He looked like Abraham Lincoln mixed with Santa Clause. It was hilarious.

I poped down down behind the counter so he couldn't see me.

"Mal, come out, come out wherever you are."

I crawled around the ground and went to the kitchen table where I found ketchup.

I popped up ready to spray at him but he was armed with mustard and ranch sause.

"Put down your weapons and I won't shoot." I say and he chuckles.

"You? I have ranch n mustard I'm not afraid of a little ketchup."

"Your call." Was my last words then I sprayed him down in ketchup and in return I got sprayed in mustard with blobs of ranch sause all over.

I dashed away from Joe when my ketchup bottle was done.

I stopped to take a breath but at the same time getting tickle tackle to the ground.

"St- ah..hahaha...stop... plahaha...ple...haha...please."

I cried out and same time the door swung open to reveal James, Dante, and Ali.

"Hey guys." I say and realized that Joe stopped tickling me and is now using me as a prop.
