In the middle of third period my phone started to ring.

Everyone turned to look at me.

"Mrs. McCavor, who is calling you in the middle of my class?" She's pissed.

"Umm... my dad. He normally doesn't call me in school. It must be important." Yuck to sweet.

"Okay well you may go out in the hall but I don't want it to happen again, understood?"

"Yes ma'am sorry Mrs. Cordell." I grabbed my stuff and ran out of the class.

"Hey pops, sorry I was in the middle of class. What's up?"

"Hello Alexis, I'm sorry to interrupt your class but there was a attack at the gang house. I need you here now. I'll call the school ant tell them it's a family emergency."  He's worried, something is really wrong. He never worries.

"Okay call the school I'll go put my stuff In my locker and tell the teacher I need to go. I'll be there soon. Love you dad..."

"I love you too baby girl, I'll see you soon."

When I pull up to the gang house dad comes running out. Once he saw me he pulled me in.

"What's wrong what happened?"
Damn now I'm worrying. I mean who wouldn't these people are my family.

"Ken, Mike, Jack and Kyle were shot. We need more medics, Kyle and Mike were only shot in the arm but Ken was shot in the stomach and Jack was shot in the chest." Dad looked at me with glassy eyes.

My face dropped immediately. Jack was like my brother, we have known each other since birth pretty much, he can't die I won't let him.

"Who do I need to help. And don't think for one second that you can stop me." 

Dad sighed knowing that he won't win.
"Help Jack he need you. It need to be someone he's comfortable with."

I nodded and ran inside. I was looking around, frantically trying to find him. When i did all I saw was blood there where people all around him trying to help.

"Jack!"

I ran over and pushed people out of the way.

"Did you find the bullet?" I ask as I was putting pressure on the wound.

"No not yet but I don't think it hit anything major or else he would be dead."

"Okay." I turn to look at Jack.

"Hey bud. How did this even happen?  I left you for a day and you get shot..."
I say while chuckling softly.

"Well I didn't plan on it mouse. But I'm glad you're here." He say... well more like grunts.

"Okay. I had to miss school because of you Jack I better get something in return. But right now let me work."

"Yes ma'am" he says laughing, but it turns into a cough.

I put some gloves on and got to work.

Two hours later the bullet is out, if it went a bit more over to the right it would have hit a lung. But he got lucky. I'm pretty proud of myself. But I do this all the time.

The other girls in the gang always ask how I do it, but the thing is I don't know how to answer the question.

I guess that it just runs in my family blood line. Grandpa was the leader before dad and his grandfather was before, three generations soon to be four.

My family is like royalty in the gang world. We have others at our feet. We have people in the police department, hospital's and everywhere else. I mean they have to have enough money to pay rent at the gang house or for their own home. They have families to support.

But it's good for us to have connections that way we get around easier without getting noticed.

"Daaaaad, I'm hungry" I wined while entering the kitchen.

"Of course you are sweetheart. What would you like for supper after a long stressful day?" 

"I get to pick!!! I never get to pick" I jump up and squeeze dad really tight. He hugs back with just the same amount of force while laughing.

"Yes baby you get to pick what to eat tonight. So what do you want?" He says while putting me down.

"CHICKEN ALFREDO!!!!! " dad just laughs and starts to prepare supper.

Ah I love him. He's been both my father and mother since I was a baby. My mom got killed in a house fire three years ago. It was hard on dad but he got through it with the help of the gang. And me of course but it wasn't just dad and I who lost someone the whole gang did. She was everyone's favourite person. She brought the light in their dark times help them through the tough. But things had to happen.

"Supper time! Come on!!" Dad yells to me.

"Coming!" Wow I didn't know that I was thinking that long.
