Gary had left as soon as rugby practice was over, following an unexpected message on his secret phone from an unknown number. Given the content of the message it wasn't hard to figure out who it was though.
[Kai gave me this number and told me to text you. He told me that the two of you have already talked about our little Billy situation and our upcoming tag team match. I'll be waiting here.] The sender had attached his location on the map, marking his position.
Honestly, Gary wasn't looking forward to meeting Innu so soon, mainly because the high schooler figured that the other would want to either have a sparring match or just train together. Until he had a way to solve his Energy problem, neither option seemed like a good idea.
[52/110 Energy]
His Energy points were going down far faster than he had expected, even though he hadn't felt like he had actually done much during rugby practice. It seemed as if just staying awake was taking up Energy today.
The primary reason why Gary had decided to meet up with Innu was in hopes of solving this very same problem. He intended to follow Kai's suggestion and ask his fellow gang member to borrow some money.
Arriving at the location, Gary was surprised to see that it was quite a nice looking park. There was a large open green field where people were playing football, a set of swings and some families. It was half way between Gary's school and Innu's school.
'I don't even know what gang runs this part of Slough. Although the Underdogs have most of the Slough under their thumb they don't own all of it, this place is so…peaceful.' Gary thought, which was why he was wondering why Innu had asked him to meet up in such a place.
“Over here!” Innu shouted, waving with one hand in his pocket. The first thing Gary noticed was that both of the fighter's hands were still bandaged up. He looked almost exactly the same as when Gary had first seen him in the arena, the only difference was that he was wearing familiar looking clothes. It took him a moment to recognise them as the gang uniform that Kai had prepared for them.
“What gives? Here I do my best to make myself presentable by wearing our gang outfit, yet our 'mighty leader' isn't wearing the clothes himself?” Gary wasn't sure whether Innu sounded more annoyed or embarassed about the fact that he was the only one who seemed to have put some thought into this meeting.
“Sorry? I didn't really consider this like a gang meeting and I also just came out of school. Besides, is it really wise to wear our colours so openly? Isn't this like sending a challenge to all the other gangs?” Gary asked.
“Barry?!” He called out in surprise.
The next second, Barry had closed the distance between the two. Suddenly, Gary felt a familiar type of pain. It was a dull ache that continued to worsen, and a warm liquid trickled down his leg.
[You have been stabbed!]
