Dylan hopped in Dom's car to go round up the other guys who are doing the run with him. One of whom lives in the suburbs close by where the man known as Toberius lives! He goes and picks up the first two without a problem. He then enters what is know as suburbs district.

He has a very nervous look on his face and one of the other guys, Mike, asked him if he was alright. "Ya i'm fine why do you ask?" Mike can see he isn't alright so he then says, "So do you have any idea why the boss would go ahead and send us now?"

Dylan didn't have time to respond when he noticed Toberius who is walking down the street with his eyes locked on the car. Toberius grins and points at the car. “Shoot that son of a bitch." Toberius’ henchmen open fire and riddle the car with bullets. Two bullets struck other guy in the car named Robert. They see the other guy and begin yelling. "GET IN THE CAR!" He quickly runs around the car and hops in.

They drive to Dom's house where he is sitting talking to Steven and an unfamiliar gentleman. Dylan, looking very scared approached the two men. "Sir we have a situation!" Without responding Dom looks at him and says, "I would like for you to meet my good friend Brusier." Dylan looks at him uneasily and shakes his hand. "Why are you so shaky son." Dylan tries to grab his hand to conceal the fact that he is shaking then he looks at Dom.

"Sir, Robert was shot. Me, Mike, and Nicky are fine though." Dom looks at him. "What happened?"

"That guy I met yesterday, Toberius. We drove by him today in the Suburbs and his goons opened fire on us." Bruiser turns to Dom with a look of concern. "Dom are you having problems with the suburbs?" Dom then looks at the floor and shakes his head.

"Bruiser I’ll be straight with you... Toberius came walking through here pushing people around and Steven here got  into an altercation. Dylan started shooting at him and killed one of his bodyguard.” Dom motioned to Dylan and quickly sent him away. “Dylan you guys go ahead and make that run to Philly and keep your heads down. Stay in my cabin on the outskirts of Bella Vista."

Dylan and the others rush outside, but quickly come back in. "What about Robert?" Dom looks around and puts his hands on his face. "How bad is he?"

"He’s going to die if we don’t get him help soon! He took a bullet to the right side of the chest and another through the neck it’s a miracle he is still breathing." Dom looks at Bruiser who gives a small nod. Dom the stands up and walks to Dylan and puts his hand on his shoulder. "Kid I don’t want you to think any less of me for doing this but you can’t take him to the hospital and there are no good doctors that would treat him without it cost a arm and both legs.... dump him in the woods but close enough the cops will discover him and get him buried." Dylan nods and the guys walk outside and begin heading for Philly.

They arrive in Philly through Old City District, and make it through to Bella Vista without a problem. They stop off at the cabin to unload their belonging and anything they don’t need to take to the meeting spot. Dylan, Mike, Nicky, and Steven arrive at the spot of the meeting early to check out the area and plan a way out if anything goes wrong. They go back to the spot and Gohan and his boys are already there and looking around.

"Where were you?" Gohan asks the group.

"Just roaming aimlessly through the woods waiting for you to get here."

One of Gohan's henchmen walks up to Dylan and gets close to his face. "HEY KID! Watch your fuckin’ mouth around this man! Do you know who he is?" Dylan stares at him unflinching. "If you don’t get out of my face I will cut your head off and shove it down your boss’ throat."

Gohan looks at Dylan in amazement. He steps up and punches the kid in the face knocking him to the ground. Mike and Nicky both pull out guns on Gohan. Steven quickly raises his arms in an attempt to calm them down. About the same time they hear rustling in the brush. Then in an instant the cops jump out of nowhere  and everyone scatters.

Dylan jumps in the car with Mike and they take off leaving Nicky and Steven in the woods. Steven darts off into the brush after watching Gohan shoot two cops in cold blood before hopping in his car with a few goons. He runs and runs until he finally comes upon a street. As he reaches the street he sees Nicky take off across the street being chased by three men

Meanwhile back at the cabin, Dylan and Mike were celebrating their epic escape. They head off to bed without even asking about Nicky and Steven.  

Steven finds an old cabin in the woods and decides to look around. "Anybody in here?" Hearing no response he goes in and find a mattress laid in the back corner. Needing a place to lay low for the night he sits down to rest knowing he can find the rest in the morning.

The following morning Dylan suggests they go to town to see what is going on, and look for their partners. Mike quickly agrees and they head off.

As they begin to comb the city they spot one of Gohan’s goons from last night entering a club. Mike turns to Dylan telling him to keep the car running while he goes inside to deal with him. After a few moments of waiting Dylan hears a gunshot and then a lot of screams. All of a sudden the doors of the club burst open and people start piling and running in every direction. Among the crowd of people he spots the goon exit and jump in a car.

Panicked, Dylan runs inside the club only to find Mike laid out on the ground. He quickly runs to him and kneels down. "What  the hell happened?!" Mike looked to be already fading away but managed to speak. "They asked about you by name . . .  get out of town." Mike’s eyes went blank and his breathing stopped. Dylan knew he needed to find his brother and get out hell out of town.

Around the same time, Steven is just waking up in the abandoned cabin. He quickly gathered his things and walked outside in the direction of the road. As he reaches the road he spots Nicky walking down the street. Running over to him he yells, "Hey do you know what happened to Dylan or Mike?" Nicky just nods his head and motions for Steven to follow.

They walk for what seems like forever when finally a car stops to help them. It was an elderly couple who stops and asks if they need a lift. Nicky who was covered in blood looks at them with a blank expression and shoots the old man in the driver seat in the face. Then he looks at the screaming lady. "Get out!"

She was still screaming and crying and did not hear him so he shoots her too. Then he walks around to the driver side and slings the old man onto the road, he looks at Steven. "Are you coming or are you gonna walk the rest of the fuckin’ way?" Steven gently places the old lady onto the side of the road and gets into the car, and they speed off down the road.

They drive to the cabin and find Dom's car sitting outside. They enter the cabin and see Dylan sitting at the table alone. Nicky walks up to him grabs him slams him against the wall and puts a gun to his head!

"HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU LEAVE US OUT THERE LIKE THAT! WHERE THE HELL IS MIKE?!"  Dylan’s eyes drop to the floor. "Nicky I’m sorry... I waited as long as I could but I saw you and Steven run into the woods so it was leave or get caught. We went to look for you in the morning, but one of those goons from last night killed Mike."

Steven walks up and puts a hand on Nicky's shoulder and pats him. He put Dylan down and went to sit in the corner of the room. As Dylan looked up at Steven he grabbed Dylan by the neck and slams him into the ground. Tears falling from his face. "You left me brother! How could you leave me? I would have never left you I would have died for you!" He exits the house. Nicky follows him outside and they leave in the car they stole.

Dylan was left sitting there alone and not knowing what to do. He was wanted dead by Philadelphia and parts of Chicago and by now most likely by ever mobster who had heard his name. Unsure what to do or where to go he got in his car and speeds away from the cabin.

Special thanks to Toberius for being our first editor! :)

Man, these kids just can't get through a single day without something going wrong! As the plot thickens the story just becomes all that more entertaining to read. 

I can't wait to see what happens with Dylan and the gang in the next edition. And that guy Toberius seems like a cool character, cool character indeed. 

Toberius grins and pats Dom on the back. 

Glad to help you with your story. 

Dom chuckles and says

reminds me of the scooby doo crew stories I used to read. Appreciate all the work you put into it
