I know they were wondering why I ran off the stage and why you ran behind me. I’ll have to explain anyways…”
     
    Treasure frowned up. “But who are you to them? I still don’t get it…”
     
    Danielle cut her eyes at Snowflake, who had been giving her the evil eye. Then she looked Treasure in the eyes. “They’re my brothers Treasure. They call themselves the Dirt Mob… and trust me… they live by those words.”

    Skye sat in her hotel room watching the news, and figured that her best friend Treasure was somewhere doing the same exact thing. It hurt her that she’d had to pick her sister over her best friend, and it was driving her absolutely crazy. She’d known Treasure’s story from day one, and knowing how many times she’d been betrayed, simply made her feel worse. The more she sat there thinking, the more she wanted to go find out how her friend Treasure was doing.
     
    Finally, she set it in her mind that she was going to go force her sister Milan to get with the program whether she liked it or not. She grabbed her pistol and car keys, and walked out of the hotel room. The sky was clear and dark, and the moon held down its area with full authority. The full moon illuminated the parking lot so well, that it seemed as if it was literally just sitting above that exact area.
     
    She walked around the corner to the odd numbers, and knocked on Milan and Lena’s door. She knocked three times, and stood there waiting for them to answer. When several moments went by without them answering, she decided that the two girls must have gone to sleep and didn’t hear her knocking. She briskly walked back to her room and called the girls’ room phone. No one answered.
     
    Getting nervous, she hurriedly jogged to the front office and got a key made for Milan’s room. She’d paid for both rooms using a fake ID, so they handed her a key immediately. She ran back to Milan’s room and opened the door frantically. She was hoping that the two girls were sleep, and praying that the two crazed loonies hadn’t taken each other out of this life.
     
    When she opened the door, her heart dropped to the ground. She couldn’t believe it.

    “Mommy! Let’s rob that bank over there! Mommy! What about that gas station? What do you wanna rob mommy?”
     
    “Quiet child, let me think!” Milan screamed to Lena while she drove around the quiet city of Columbus, GA on a mission. She had a deeply rooted passion for violence and mayhem, and she just didn’t feel as if there was enough of it going on in her life. She’d convinced Lena that she was her real mother, and that God had allowed everything to happen just so that they could be reunited. She’d convinced Lena that robbery was good, and that firing a pistol was even better. The naïve adolescent believed in everything that was told to her.
     
    “Mommy, what about the McDonald’s? What about the Taco Bell over there?”
     
    “Lena! Relax, you’re driving me crazy!” Milan pulled over into the parking lot of a tax office and put the stolen car in park. She placed her hands on the sides of her head and screamed, as loud as possible, from the bottom of her lungs. “ Arrrghhhh ! Shit! You’re fuckin irritating me you fuckin brat!”
     
    Lena’s eyes misted up and started leaking when Milan screamed at her. She was truly hurt that the woman she looked up to thought she was irritating. She didn’t know why, but that hurt her worse than seeing her parents dead on that fateful night. “I’m sooo sorry Mommy!!! Pleaaaassssee ! I don’t want you to think I’m irritating. Please Mommmy !”
     
    Milan rolled her eyes. “Relax damnit ! Just relax. Tell me you love me and I’ll let it slide!”
     
    Lena smiled immediately. It was a smile so bright, that no one could mistake it for anything other than a child’s innocent adoration. She grinned so hard that a bit of saliva leaked out of one of the corners of her mouth. “I
