A boy named Blaze

Chapter 47

Blaze

I saw her stomping down the road, looking pissed. I knew we were going to hear about how she is more capable to take care of herself then all of us and how we treat her like a baby. I didn't really care though, she was safe. Her face betrayed her anger and her eyes periced us. There was a clear message in them, don't tell me what the fuck to do. I was still a little pissed she ran off by herself though not as all as bad as Blake. Yet we were just worried and I think she knows that. Damn that girl does something to me, I cant think of her running around alone. I mean how hard would it be to bring Smithy don't the pier with her?

I sighed as we got out of our vans. Leaving my door open I walked over to where the other guys where standing between the two vans. Poor Smithy got a black eye from Blake, which I think was taking it a bit far but I agree he shouldn't have left her. Yet I know her and if she wants to do something she will and no one can stop her. Smithy didn't fight back, I guess he knew he couldn't win right now and I could tell he regretted letting her go off alone. Blake's face covered with relief and also anger still as he slammed his room shut. 

The first thing I heard was the explosion as it's deafening boom filled the air. Before I was thrown to the ground from the force of the explosion I saw Tara being knocked over by a figure. I didn't have time to process anything or get a real good look at the guy. It happened so fast, one moment I was waiting for Tara to be beside us and next I felt my ears ringing and the cold ground under my sore body. Heat flared around me and my vision went in and out of focus. I couldn't hear anything but I knew that police where going to be here soon.

None of us could be taken into the police and so I slowly attempted to push my body off the ground. My body hurt and my ears rung but slowly I pulled myself up to my hands and knees. My vision stayed yet was blurring and I was dizzy. Smithy came and helped me get to my feet and I thanked him as I took in the fiery vans that were around us. Taren and Marley where helping Keller up but then I looked beside me. Lying unconscious on with his jacket sleeve on fire was Blake. I ran over and prayed he wasn't dead, he was my closest friend here besides Tara and Tara would die if he was dead. I put out the fire on his arm and checked his heart beat.

He was breathing and his heart was working fine, thank god. Smithy was over to us now and look one look at Blake before picking him up and throwing him over his shoulder. "Time to split," Marley said and we all nodded. We ran as fast as we could away from the burning vans as the sound of sirens filled the air. Smithy was trailing behind the most from having to hold Blake so I slowed my pace. "Want me to take him," I asked. He shook his head, "I got him." I just nodded and matched my pace to his.

We turned and went in the back alleys, it was longer but less public. No one looked at us which we were grateful for and finally we got to Keller's house. He unlocked the door and we ran inside the house. Smithy placed Blake on the couch as I locked the door. "Is anyone badly hurt," I called out. No one spoke and I took that as a good sign. My ears where still ringing and my hearing was going in and out yet I would survive, we all would. I looked around and saw our clothes were dirty, torn, and burnt. All of us had cuts and bruises but nothing to big and we were all standing, well except Blake. I went over and looked at him and slipping off his jacket. His arm was burnt but none of it was really bad, he was like everyone else just knocked out.

I went and grabbed the blanket Tara used and draped it over him before walking into the other room where the guys were sitting. "It was a trap," Taren said. "No shit," Keller said looking at his friend. "I guess my contact was on their side," Marley said glaring at nothing in particular. "So I suggest you take him off you contact," I said, leaning again the wall. Marley looked at me, "or, go to talk to him." I smiled, not thinking about that at first. If his contact is on Bry's side then he has info on Bry. I smiled, "where is he?" Marley shrugged, "by now, anywhere." I sighed, I guess he would be running now, knowing we would come after him. I don't think he thinks we are that stupid to not see the connection.
