“Since I still need money, I asked him if he had a way That was actually the reason they were looking for byto be our ‘in’ person tonight

“I’, but I’ood parents and you get good grades I just don’t want you to risk your future by tagging along

“If anyone sees you there fro about your school Just iine what your parents would do if they found out their precious son would do soal as that I mean, you’ve told me about the slippers, but I bet it would be a hundred ti, Gary put his head down on the desk, which clearly indicated that he didn’t want any of the others to talk to him

‘I already nearly lost my sister, and I can’t even speak toyou involved in any more of this mess than you already are’

The rest of the school day was as boring as always, with Gary seeet through the day Even at lunch he stayed out of sight froh that was ulls who had built their nests there It had allowed hiht froy, and he was also getting faster at keeping track of objects, and hunting The ht about it, theakin to a wild beast

After an uneventful rugby practice it was finally tiym There was some time before he needed to meet up with the others anyway After his workout, he proceeded to change his clothing, into the black and gold tri ahead, he eventually came across the park that he would usually practice with Innu and he could see the others aiting for him Kai, Marie, and Innu were all dressed in the sairl had a skirt on instead

“Clothes really do ” Kai stated with a satisfied grin and pulled on his jacket a bit, straightening it out

“Are you sure it’s ok to be out like this? Won’t the gangs pick a fight with us once they see us?” Gary asked

“Aaahhh, I really need Marie to give you a crash course on how to behave as a proper gang leader” Kai let out a sigh as he disheveled his hair “As of now, nobody even knoho The Howlers are If anyone sees the five of us inclothes they will just think that we’re part of a volleyball tea Anyway, this tier pointed towards the street, where a car could be seen The as rolled part way down and inside the woarette

“She’ll take us there It will be a bit of a squeeze in the back, but you’ll just have to endure” Kai explained

They all eventually got inside, and Gary was pleased that it looked like even Innu didn’t knoho this wo in the back were all the boys whereas Marie sat at the front

‘Well I guess, it’s a bit rude to entleman… or is he just that roup started driving and eventually the woht conversation to clear the aard air

“I’m happy to see you have made so many friends So hoas school, pumpkin?”

It was clearly a nicknaht pumpkin was a little too cute for Kai

“The usual, boring and not really worth it Can we just turn on the radio and drive in silence, Mum?” Marie requested, clearly in no mood for conversation

“Mother?!” Innu shouted out in shock, which was exactly the reaction Gary had, yet he had hts going through his head The teenager had been wondering what the relationshi+p between Kai and this woman had been, for the two of them to appear that late at a hospital

He would have been far less surprised to learn that it had indeed been Kai’s, but for her to be Marie’s mother?! Well the resemblance was there, but how did she fit into all of this?

Was she part of a gang? Was she part of the Underdogs?! She clearly see the in as Gary started to suspect that all of this e trap!
