Zoey, or Tech as she would be known to the gangs in the area, had sped home from the old fire house that is the base of the gang she had only that day joined, the Silver Dragons. The reason for her haste was that she was running against the clock to reach her uncle's house before he did and discovered her gone. Lately she did everything she could to keep him from becoming upset because it was very easy for him to become dangerously angry lately.
Zooming around the corner and into the back she takes the back porch steps as quickly as she could and opens the back slider door. Her sigh of relief quickly catches in her throat as her uncle grabs the front of her vest, looking every bit as angry as she had feared he would. After that she is pulled inside with the door closed behind and things are quiet for a while before there are sounds of a cat yowling and a man shouting.
After than things quiet down and there seems nothing out of the ordinary. Around eleven thirty at night though a side window opens and Zoey drops the short distance to the ground, careful with some sort of bundle in her arms. She looks around then closes the window and takes off into the night, not quite sure where she needed to go she was not being too wary of the gang boundary lines that she was unfamiliar with as of yet.

"A little Dragon making her escape? What an interesting sight this is." A voice came from a roof above. Two green eyes stared down at Tech, a smirk resting upon his brusied lips, "I've heard that you're new, or that's the rumors on the streets, little girl." The young boy jumped to the ground, landing hard on his feet, but he recovered.

Tech gasps and turns to face the boy who had spoken. Now at the right angle the light from a nearby flickering streetlight illuminates her features, she had iced the black eye and split lower lip her uncle had given her when she got in his way earlier. The bundle that she clutched to her chest was none other than the cat that she had nursed back to health for the last few days, Tech did not know how badly her slightly-drunk uncle had injured it and was now out trying to find someone that could help.
Along with the various bruises and earlier mentioned injures her uncle had also confiscated her roller blades so she was on foot in a pair of slip-on blue and silver shoes. Before she joined a gang Tech had thought about the possibility that other gangs would be unfriendly to her after that, and she would not be able to outrun this boy she was sure of.
Gesturing with her free arm Tech shakes her head "I don't want trouble, I-I'm in a hurry..." Her stutter betrays her belief in herself to back up the statement.

She stepped lightly onto the street,Pax at her heels.She kept walking,until she was less then 3 yards away from this scene.She hadn't yet realized she forgot her precious pocket knife at the apartment.She froze,her eyes coming up from the ground to examine the scene before her.She saw another pair of eyes across from her.
His eyes met those of a depressed looking young lady,but he ignored her.He'd gotten here by way of foot,and hadn't expected something like this.The smirk that was held on his face had not disappeared completely as he stared.

"Aw, the poor little kitty does want to play?" A cocky smirk curled on his face and he walked towards her, showing his features in the light. A black hoodie covered his upper body, a tiger on the front. Long, green cargos covered his black converses, which were stained with blood and mud. A recent cut rested upon his face, looking like it was recently fixed. As his green eyes rested upon the girl, one of his arms reached out to grab her, but was quickly stopped by getting hit by a rock. "Hey! No fair!"
"You should know better then to harm a woman, Actio" Upon the same roof where the last boy, who had been called Action, stood a tall figure. He had been watching the scene hidden by the shadows.

Tech had frozen up when Action approached her and then reached out only to have his hand knocked away. Her head turning to look up at the second boy on the roof and who she assmed was the one that halted the first boy's hostile actions.

Something else caught the other's attention, as he gaze shifted towards another male. But his eyes also caught the attention of Panic.
Action growled, seeming very unhappy about the lack of attention he was getting from the other, "Hey E-less! If you want to stop me, then fight me!"
Once his name was announce, the tall young man, now informed as Emotionless, better known as E-less, gazed down upon Action and Tech, "I will not take your challenge, nor will I ever."

Quickly glancing down at the cat to check on it Tech looks back up at E-less, he at least did not seem to have any hostile intentions toward her. In fact he had interfered with such an attempt by the scrappy fighter type still within arm's reach of her. "...." Fearing that he would not take the rejection of his invitation to fight well and then turn back to his earlier sport with the intention to take out his anger Tech begins to slowly move back wards.

"Aww, come on E-less. We could get her involved. It is not often that you a rep of each of the three major gangs in one area." Action smiled slightly, shrugging, "Anyways, I'm in the mood for a decent fight and I know you can give me one. As for the new girl here, it would be just another victory for me."
"..." E-less glared Action with his green eyes, matching into Action's. Crossing his arms, E-less spoke once more, but with no anger or approval in his voice, "No, I will not fight tonight, and not against a woman. Anyways, Action, you are causing your brother to many problems. Stop with these fights."

Tech was thankful for their argument, it distracted them both. After moving a few feet away from Action she turns and glances at the fighter one last time before turning and taking off at a sprint, she wanted to get far away before he noticed because she wanted a head start if he went after her like some predators would if prey ran. She realizes that this may reflect badly on the reputation of her gang, but what could they expect from her in this situation?

"Yeah? He doesn't mind as long as I come back alive!" Action was yelling up to E-less. But he stopped, noticing E-less was chuckling slightly, which was out of his character, "Hey, why you laugh?!"
"You just let your prey go," E-less pointed in the general direction of where Tech was running off to, "Great job moron..." E-less began to make his to the other side of the roof.

By this time Tech had reached the end of the street and really wishes that she had her roller blades, then she would not have been even half as tired. But the adrenaline was helping. In a move that she was familiar with because of her skates, Tech reaches out with one hand and cups the corner's street light and makes a sharp turn without loosing any speed before releasing the lamp's pole.

"Why you..." Action pouted, "Oh well..." He headed down a different way, not wanting to follow.
E-less stopped on the roof then looked back at the girl. Giving a small sigh, he stuffed his hands into his pockets and lep off into an alley and made his way to somewhere.

(That was anti-climactic... ^^')
Tech makes it a few more blocks at her highest speed before she has to stop and take a rest, gasping and panting she leans her shoulder on a random building's wall and slumps. She knew that she had to resist the urge to sit, her legs would lock up and continued running would become very difficult. Taking breaths through her nose and out through her mouth to get the best of each breath she checks on the bundle in her arms, the reason she had secretly left her home and was now out here at night. The cat did not seem worse for the wear from her escape, but it was still badly injured from her uncle's treatment earlier in the afternoon.
Knowing that she had run blindly in the dark she turns so that her back is to the wall she looks around, trying to find her bearings. Finally she cranes her head back to look up at the large screen that she now notices towers behind the ticket and concession building of the drive-in theater she was leaning on.

She'd been fumbling for her pocket knife,and then intended to slit the guy named Action's throat.but she was shocked to find it was missing,and that she'd accidentally ended up with a skateboard in her hands.She shrugged,and sat down against an old-looking building,sighing as she noticed that the other boy was about to leave.She'd also noticed E-less,and wondered why they ended up running into each other.Again.She started thinknig,just sitting there alone.Thinking.Moments later,she got up and boarded off.
Sneak just watched,though thoughts of slipping away had crossed his mind as soon as the other boy appeared.'E-less' he had been called.The poor girl didn't really want anything.Hey...Was that a cat she was holding?It looked injured...maybe he should go try to help.His eyes lit up,and he started wandering slowly around.
