Max To The Rescue

Our group ran up Clark street, taking a hard turn at School Street.

“You guys talk to the skins.  We’ll head up to the video room where it’s safe.” Anna said

“Wasn’t there just a riot in there??”  David asked

“Trust me, the rock room is cleared out by now and there won’t be any skins upstairs.” Anna answered

James and I split off from the group and ran up the alley where we saw Clint, Mitch, Billy-Club and a couple fresh cuts in the alley drinking 40’s.

“Holy shit holy shit holy shit!” I yelled as we ran up to the skins.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Clint asked

“It’s Squats!  He’s in trouble!  CLAS is surrounding him at the donut shop!”

“Again??” Billy questioned

“YES!” 

“FUCKING SHIT!”  Billy Yelled in his thick Polish accent. “BUBSY WE NEED TO FIX SOME BONEHEADS!” He yelled.

Bubsy and Diane came out from between two garages, buckling their pants. “The fuck is going on?” Bubsy asked

“Squats is out numbered at the donut shop!” I yelled

“Fuck.” Bubsy said “Go get the boys and meet us there.”

“Where’s Anna??” Diane questioned frantically

“She’s inside the club!  She’s alright.”

“You guys get the fuck away from this neighborhood!” Diane said as they ran down the alley, followed by Clint, Mitch and the fresh cuts.

“Holy shit.” James said “This isn’t good.”

“Fuck, I kinda wanna watch.” I said

“We shouldn’t.” James said

“But we probably can.” I argued

“I mean, yeah, we can probably like, duck into the video store or something, but they’ll kick us out.”

“Or we can just stand across the street.”

“What if one of those guys has a gun?” James asked

I stared at James. “A gun.” I said “None of them have guns.”

“But what if they do?”

“You sound like your mother.” I argued

“Fuck you, no I don’t!”

“You kind of do.” I said “If it makes you feel better, we can just go and get the girls and the unicorn and get on the Addison bus and go home.”

“That would make me feel better actually.”

“Or…” I said

“Fuck.” James said “Maaaaaax, nooooo.”

“I really kinda wanna see those two bands.”

“Dude, we aren’t going to the Factory.  That place is so sketchy and…”

“Come on, what could possibly happen?  It’s a room full of like minded skinheads.”

“What could happen?  How about they all gang up on Anna and Tracy and…”

“Uh, most of those guys are straight edge and you know what their rules are…” I started

James sighed

“DON’T DRINK!  DON’T SMOKE!  DON’T FUCK!”  I yelled quoting the Minor Threat song, Out of Step

“You know most of those guys are kind of loose about the last one, right?”

“Whatever.  Way to spoil the good time, James.”  I joked as I put my arm around him and we headed back towards Medusa’s.  “We’re still going to the show.”
