My bad boys

4

Jason's POV.

"Don't do drugs!" She yelled as she ran out the door, making us crack up yet again.

"I don't think I have laughed that hard in months bro. Can we keep her around she even makes you crack a smile." I open my mouth to deny Cameron but he beats me too it "don't even try to deny it you like her too." He says and I shake my head at him.

"I hate to interrupt but how are we gonna 'keep her around' if we don't even know where yo look for her at?" Daniel adds

We all smirk at the naive kid. "Well Danny boy, we follow her." Jack said

We walked out seeing her running the other direction. The given of us followed her for about ten blocks, where she ran up to a house and knocked on the door. A girl a little older than us  opened the door and hugged Ashley, while Ashley kept apologising for something. "ASH! THANK GOD YOUR HERE TO SAVE ME!" a little girl with long blonde curls ran out the door and hid behind Ashley's legs.

I got a little closer so I could hear what they were saying but I only caught the end. "Thanks so much Tee. Please don't tell Tiff or Dylan what happened I can't have them worrying about where their next meal is coming from I still have some cash saved up so we should be okay for as long as it takes me to get a new job." Ashley said, hugging the girl at the door. The guys and I shared a look before turning back to the scene.

"Anytime Ash if you need me to watch her just bring her over you don't owe me anything. I lived with the Petersons when I was in foster care too. So believe me when I tell you I will do whatever it takes to keep those kids as far from that god awful place as possible." The girl, Tee, replied.

"Foster care?" Danny whispers "Ashley was in foster care?"

"Sounds like it wasn't such a pleasant experience either." Jack said to himself but loud enough that we could still hear him.

"She's on the move again."

We follow her and the girl for a couple blocks until Ashley grabs the little girls hand and walks her over to a bench outside the little diner that my piece of shit father used to take me to when I was little.

Ashley speaks first. "What's up kid?"

"Are you gonna leave too?" The kid mumbles so low I barely hear her.

Ashley's jaw drops as she looks at the kid in shock "Oh my god Sam. Is that what you think? That's why your being all quiet and not you?" The girl nods slightly, and Ashley continues. "Let me tell you right now that I am the one person that will never leave you. EVER. You hear me? I will be the last person to ever leave."

"I guess now we know who Sam is." Daniel whispers and we shush him.

The girl, Sam, looks up at Ashley with watery eyes "but if you don't have a job any more can't they take us back? I don't want to go back to those bad people ever again Ash. Never. If you hadn't gotten home when you did last time..." Sam trailed off and a look of understanding flashed through Ashley's eyes, like she new exactly what the little girl was gonna say.

Ashley wrapped the little girl up in her arms as she cried "that will never happen. If I have to go to court and show them the proof of..well then I will baby girl I won't let you go back into that house ever again. I promise you that." They sat there for a minute before getting up, walking down the street about a block and walked into a white house with wooden porch and a big yard.

The guys all looked at me and I knew what they were thinking. Katelyn.

Katelyn is a girl a year older than us that was in foster care for ten years before being adopted by the people who happen to own the diner we were currently sitting outside of. She knew about a lot of foster parents, which ones are good and are there to help, the ones who are in it for money, and the ones that use kids for....entertainment.

We walked into the diner and there she was, walking towards a table with a tray of food in her hand. At the sound of the bell above the door she looks up and makes eye contact with Cameron and smiles.

"Come on guys I can take a little break." She leads us over to a booth in the back pulling up another chair she sat down next to Cameron. "Alright what's up and why do you look like you want something?"

Everyone looked at me. "There's this girl we ran into and helped and we wanted to know where we could find her again because she's cool and she makes us laugh. So we were following her home right. Well she stops to pick up some little girl and they ended up sitting outside on the bench talk in about how the older one lost her job and the little girl was scared that she was gonna go back to someone called the Peterson's if Ashley didn't get a knew job soon. We were wondering if you knew anything bout these foster parents?"

Katelyn's  face darkened and she flinched when I said their name. "You find this girl and you tell her to come see me and I'll give her a damn job. Promise me you will tell her to come see me." She stared at us with fear and hope displayed in her eyes

"You didn't answer the question" she turned to look at me when I said that.

"No. I didn't. And I won't. I'll tell you that those people are terrible awful people who deserve to die a slow and painful death that I would gladly participate in. I want to meet this girl, I need to talk to her ASAP. Did you hear anything else?"

"The little one was crying and she said she didn't want to go back to the bad people and that if Ashley hadn't gotten home when she did last time but she didn't finish her sentence." Jared spoke for the first time.

"She didn't need to. This Ashley girl, she is definitely the little ones big sister. She probably has other siblings living with her too. This girl does she have a tattoo of sorts anywhere that you could see?"

"Well she has a little tattoo looking thing on her hip." Daniel said "It's about the size of a quarter, I saw it when she was talking to the little girl."

"She's been marked." Katelyn mumbled to herself thinking about something before turning back to us. "Tell her to meet me here at five tomorrow night. Okay?"

"Bu-" Danny started

"Okay" I said and slapped him in the back of his head making him mumble profanities.
