The Gem

I'm going to get back what they took since it's something I value greatly. whatever the price. (For the record, it costs at least a month's worth of lunch money.)

Meet the group:

The Driver is Danny, my older brother. has connections and a temporary licence. Namely:

Will is The Crim. expert at entering and exiting locations. calmness under pressure.

Jack is a girl, but don't bring it up, says the artist. local spray painter. my high school buddy.

Elaine: Guy inside. formerly attended school with Mom. online information when the Jewel arrived. Probably being terminated.

Brian is featured on the cover. bully at school. resents me. The hiding area is in his garage. Cost: one month's worth of lunch money.

Here we are. Hoodies in place, CCTV painted. Will got us inside. Contains no security equipment. We receive what or people we sought and depart.

They had yelled as they wrestled her to a pole. She has never been violent. She would have followed if they had led her. Quiet. Trusting. They were unkind. She froze and fought to get back to us. Her name was shouted. She exerted more effort. They pulled and choked her. My snot was staining Dad's shirt as he tightly clutched me. She panickedly turned around. Her gaze spoke. Why won't they assist me? My heart broke for her.

She is now grinning broadly. So am I. My Jewel.
