The New Me

That's just great!

I walked into the alley, and stopped.

"Dammit Floyd," I mumbled.

Turning back, I ran up to the group, and acted like nothing happened.

"What took so long?" Rick asked.

Floyd looked around confused, and when he saw me shook his head.

"So that talk we had back there was for nothing?" He asked.

"Not nothing. I'm just- delaying it for a bit. Besides, where else is there gonna be any action? I rather have fun now, then do what I said I was gonna do then, later...that didn't sound right in my head. Did you understand that?"

He shook his head, "I got what you're saying."

"So! Rick! Who is the special person we're being forced to rescue?" I asked walking next to him.

"All you need to know, is that if you don't help you die." He informed.

I nodded, falling back with Floyd, "Yup. How much farther till we're there?"

"I don't know."

"Shouldn't you?" I asked.

He stopped walking, looked back and gave me a look.

"No? Alright...great...we are being led by some idiot who doesn't know where he's even going." I said to myself out loud.

"I will blow you up right here, if you don't shut your damn mouth." He informed stepping towards me, and getting in my face. "You understand?"

I stayed quiet, but didn't back down. I looked him in the eye and smiled.

"You wont do anything.

Floyd walked over, and grabbed my arm.

"Spade-

"-No I wanna see what big tough guy here will do." I said turning back to Rick. "You're all talk. Big tough guy, who's been in the army. Thinks he's been through hell. Think he can just come here and boss us around."

He didn't move. I got him now!

I leaned in closer to his face, now just inches away, "Trust me...you don't know what hell is."

I popped a piece of gum I found- still in the wrapper! It was still in the wrapper. I know there's someone out there saying ' ew she put a piece of gum that wasn't wrapped in her mouth? She gross!' So calm your balls! It was wrapped. I took it out of my pocket, and was about to put it in my mouth, when my hand was pushed to the side, and the gum went flying to the floor.

"Really?!" I asked.

Rick smiled, and walked away, "Don't ever do that again!"

I shook my head as I looked at Floyd. He shook his head at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You're crazy, that's what."

I smiled, "Thanks."

A while later, we got to a building, and started climbing. Not actually climbing. We climbed the stairs. It took FOREVER! My legs started hurting like half way up. Don't ask me how many flights of stairs it was, because I wasn't counting..........

When we got to the top, we were told to wait in some office, while Rick went into another room. We all stood around, as we waited. I walked over to the window, and looked down to see a huge tank of chemicals.

"I wonder what would happen if someone fell into that." I said aloud.

"They'd die,"

I looked over to see El Diablo. I found out what his name was!

"You sure about that?"

He nodded. I nodded my head still not believing him. He doesn't know. Someone could've fallen, and gotten super powers or something. It's possible...Shut up.

Floyd walked into the room after Rick, and when they came out, I got angry.

"Her?!" One yelled.

I walked up, aiming the gun at her head.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Spade stop!" Rick said holding his arm out. "Stand down."

I stared at him as I lowered the gun... when he sighed and looked the other way, I kicked his back, flipped Floyd to the ground, and pushed the chick against the wall. I held the gun to her head.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow a hole in her face."

"You need me.-

"-like hell I do."

"You do want to find your mother, right?"
