Burn it to the ground

The mistake

"Hiccup!" the dark eyed man spoke quietly but with unconcealed concern toward the green eyed teen acros from him.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" The dark eyed man watched Toothless's retreat from the restrauant. He did not miss the almost hidden smile as Toothless all but glided out the door.

Hiccup stared at the man across from him in confusion. The man had been like a second father to him. When his dad had to go out on offical police buisness, he would watch over him. THis man was an imporatant part of Hiccups family, even if they were not related by blood. Hiccup looked up to the dark eyed man alot. He had followed Hiccup when he adventured into the forest on the edge of Berk when ever the teen wanted. HIccup enjoyed his company greatly. He was probably Hiccups one true friend in Berk. No one really wanted to hang out with the Police chiefs' son.

"NO. I am okay Gobber. Why were you so worried? Who is that man?" HIccup questioned his friend. Gobber looked away from Hiccup and would not meet his eyes. Whenever Gobber did that it meant in was something big.

Taking a deep breath, Gobber looked up at Hiccup." That man is one of Berks most wanted and notorious gang leaders. Your father has been trying to capture him for years. You were not supposed to learn about him. Your dad thought it best not to tell you. As chief of police it his job to capture criminals, but your dad has been trying to capture him time and time again. But, each time, there is not enough evidence to convict him. That mans name is Toothless. He is the leader of the Drgaons."

"You mean that I ran into the most notriouss gang leader ever!" Hiccup cried, throwing his hands in the air." Why would dad not tell me about him!Oh Loki hates me today!"

Gobber shrugged." Your dad has his own way of dealing with things. I guess hiding his highest, priority investigation was his way of protecting you."

"Fat lot of good that did." Hiccup muttered." At least I do not have to worry about him showing up here." Hiccup crossed his arms and looked at Gobber.

Gobber started to whistle quietly and pretended to pick imaginary dirt from his nails. Hiccup gaped at Gobber.

"You told him!" Hiccup accused. Gobber continued to focus all his attention on his nails. Hiccup sank into the booth trying to make himself as unoticeable as he could. " Just great. Just Hel Great! I am screwed for life! Dad will never let me go outside the house again!"

Gobber looked at the green eyed teen across from him. He knew the teen was right. Hiccup came to this restaurant often just to have somewhere to hang out and the manager didn't mind in the least. But, once Stoick found out his son's favorite hang had been visited by Toothless, not to mention the fact Hiccup had run into him and had been there when he arrived, The teen's nightmare would become a reality.

Dark eyes scaned the room until he found what he wanted. " You know, Hiccup, I told your dad that i brought you here because he asked me to. But, from what I remember you had left for home over a half hour before Toothless's arrival. And I will not tell him you took the back exit and went straight home and pretended to be home for an hour when he arrived." Gobber looked at the teen and smirked.

Hiccup grinned hugely at the man that had become his second father and nodded his head. He headed toward the back exit and disappeared into the back alley just as his dad's squad car pulled up to the Green Dragon.

Emerging on the main street, Hiccup began to make his way home at a trot. He was just about 10 blocks from the edge of town and another 2 mile walk to his house just at the edge of town, when the door of a store opened in front of him and the man he had bumped into in the restaurant exited the shop. The blond girl that had been with him exited just behind him. Both walked up to a black Mercury. Hiccup hide behind a lamp post and peered around it to watch Toothless's car as it pulled away from the curve. The car drove slowly down the road.

Hiccup could not believe his luck! The most wanted man in all of Berk was right in front of him. Hiccup made a last minute idscission and began to follow the car at a distance. He ducked into alleys as the car turned and stayed in the inky shadows of the store fronts. The constant drizzle of rain helped to hide him as well.

After many miles of tailing Hiccup was just about to give up when the car stopped and pulled infront of a slowly opening grage door. He watched from his hiding place behind a garbage can as a tall, broad man stepped out of the garage and motioned for the car to enter. Teh black Mercury pulled in silently into the garage. The tall, broad man looked around and entered the garage as well. The door silently began to close until it was completely closed. Hiccup walked out from behind the garbage can he had been hiding behind and stood in front of the garage.

He sheilded his eyes from the rain as he looked up toward the roof. Just 2 feet above the door was the name: Steel hammer. It was three stories tall and quite large. Hiccup had not imagined a gang leader living in such a run down place. A broken window caught the teenager's attention. Feeling daring, Hiccup decided he wanted to learn more about the mysterious Gang leader he knew nothing about.

Walking up to the window, he was able to easily pull himself through and into the room beyond.

Hiccup sat up and looked around. "Whoa." Hiccup glanced around the clean surroundings around him. It was surprisingly clean and very modern. One would not believe that such a place would exisit in sucha run down, appearing place from the outside. Opening the first door to his left he entered a small closet. He was just about to leave when he heard faint voices from the other side of the door.

"The alarm did come from the side of the Hive right?" A rough feminine voice asked form outside the door.

"Of course!" A male voice responded just as the door handle of the closet began to jiggle.

"Crap!" Hiccup muttered. He braced himself for the inevitable.

The door opened to expose two figures. One was a girl with dirty blond hair. Next to her was a boy about the same height as her with the same colored dirty, blond hair. Hiccup could clearly tell they were had a evil grin plastered on their face as they stared at the young teenager staring back at them. His fear was clearly etched into his eyes.

"Look what the cat dragged in!" The male twin answered

A/N: I decided to stick witk a little bit of the viking theme to the movie. When the characters cuss or mention bad luck they tend to mention viking gods and goddesses.
