Asher leaned against the wall heavily. This was the last place he wanted to be. If Medda found out he'd gotten arrested, she'd fire him! He moaned quietly and slid down the wall. He felt like crying, but he couldn't, there were other boys in the room with him. Not one was cute, so he couldn't distract himself that way.
It was all Levi and Sean's fault he'd been arrested. They were the ones who had been playing with the fruit and thrown it to him when the blues came. They had run, Asher, being confused, had not and now he was in jail, cursing them and their future families. And their ancestors, one must not forget the ancestors.
"Oh, boy. This sucks. I wonder if anyone is gonna come save me...?" Asher wondered aloud. A boy across the room snickered at him.
"No one gives a rat's ass if we die in here." The boy said, Asher pointedly ignored him.

Chase was kicking and screaming the entire way into the building. The cops had to actually carry him into the Refuge. "Let go of me you filthy, stinking, rotten, good for nothin'-!" He was thrown into the room and landed on the floor with a thud. The blues slammed the door in his face and he continued to cuss them out in German. He didn't know many German words, but he had his few favorites. He kicked at the room's door, and pounded his fists on it. "I'll murder ya!" He yelled at the guard on the other side. He gave up trying to get out and moved to the window breathing heavily. He saw one of the boys, the only one that had nerve to look at him right now, staring at him. Chase looked away from him and looked out the window, waiting for dark.

Asher stared at him, shocked by the boy. He didn't know any German words-especially not curse words-but he did know some killer Irish sayings that Sean had taught him, and some Sioux words from Levi.
"Um..." Asher started nervously, standing up and walking over to the older boy, he crouched next to him, a little imtimidated by his good looks. Sure, Tyler was cute, but this boy was hot. "Are you okay?" He asked in a whisper, so the others wouldn't hear.

Chase looked up at the boy, his eyes narrowed. Then, his eyes softened. This kid looked way to innocent to be in here. Chase'd known this place since he was about ten. "Yeh, i'm alright. Now." He muttered the last part. What he didn't say that when he got out of there, he would make sure that the people that threw him in here wouldn't be able to throw anything again. He looked back out the window, watching the sun set. He looked again at the strange boy. "How'd you get in here anyways? Oh, i'm Chase by the way. Chase Neumann." He pronounced his last name N-oi-man with a German accent.

Asher looked to where he looked, but only saw bars. He turned back to him. "Uh... My friends were playing catch with some stolen fruit and tossed to me before I had a chance to run." He shrugged, only feeling a little annoyance at Levi and Sean. No dobut Levi was with Street right now and Sean with Brooke. Only Asher had nobody. It was hard trying to find a boy... He shook off these thoughts and said quickly, "Oh, my name's Asher Cromwell. Nice to meet you Chase." Asher held out his hand for him to shake. "I'm an actor at Irving Hall." He was proud of his job, and always let people know.

Chase shook Asher's hand. "Nice job. It's good ta have one of those. Me? I'm a thief, pickpocket. Ya know. Just like everyone else on the streets. We do what we gotta do." He looked down at the boy's hands. No one girl or not, had hands as soft as his. It was strange. The kid seemed normal enough. As dark fell and the moon rose he hatched an escape plan. "Der Mond." He whispered as he thought. "The moon is nice, don't ya think?" He started talking about random things, something he always did when he was thinking.

Asher laughed. "Yeah. I'm good at faking things..." he muttered something about 'girls' then looked up at the sky, his face thoughtful. "Something wrong with my hands?" He joked. Chase's hands were warm and felt safe, much better then Tyler's... He shook his head. "Yeah, the moon's lovely. I like the sun better though. Ever hear of Shakespeare? 'What light through yonder window breaks...'" He pointed to the sky. "'Tis Juliet and she is the sun..'" He smiled. "That's Street's favorite, since it involves her namesake Rosalind." He smiled again, this time at Chase, "She's a pickpocket too, ever seen her? Goes by the name of Street, tiny, kinda crazy. Levi too."

Chase shook his head. "Nah, i haven't seen much of anybody. I prefer to live in the shadows where no one can see ya." He smiled devilishly. "Until that guy was beatin' on that goil. Throwin' her up against the wall an' puttin' a knife to her throat." He groud his teeth. "I showed him though. Showed him me own knife. Then the cops showed and thought it was me who'd done it. I was just checkin' her leg wound. SHe was bleedin' something fierce." HE chuckled slightly. "I guess that's why they call me Tiger. Ain't nobody messes with meh, or goils." He looked back at Asher. He looked only slightly ashamed of himself. He didn't want to frighten him, he just got lost in a memory.
(he's talking about brooke)

Asher chewed his lip. "That was my sister, Brooke. Yes, it was a tryin' time for us both. She's still not quite over it. So..." He looked slightly uncomfortable. "You get around with the girls, Tiger?" Adopting the nickname easily. He grinned. "They call me Broadway. Not hard to figure out why..." He sighed. "You know, people aren't all bad. 'Specially Levi and Sean and Mush and Street and Irish and all my friends. Do you have friends?" He asked quietly.

Chase smiled slightly but shook his head. "Goils don't notice ya when yer nothin' but a shadow. Is she- yer sista is she okay? She seemed pretty hurt." His eyes were cool but they had concern in them. He didn't like when anyone was hurt. Chase listened when Asher told him about all his friends. Chase laughed slightly. "I've never had friends. I lived with me neighbors in Germany when me dad went ta war. When he died, they shipped meh here to the foulest f'ing orphanage in the world. I escaped when i was real little. No one eva noticed meh."
Brooke
Brooke stopped outside the Refuge. "This is it? The place they sent meh brudda?" She asked the guy that had brought her here. He was half hidden by the shadows the building threw down at them. She shook her head and looked back up at the building. She couldn't afford to get distracted now. "Ash? Ash! Ya up there?" She whisper-shouted up at the many barred windows. Then, someone appeared at the window. It was Asher. Brooke smiled and waved at him. "Hang on, we're gonna get ya outta here." She didn't know how yet, but she would manage it somehow.

Asher smiled sadly. "I'm sure plenty of girls notice you." He said softly, leaning toward the window. "My sister's fine now..." He glanced at him. "Everyone should have friends." Asher became shy. "I could be your friend." He said so quietly that Chase almost missed it.

Chase looked at Asher, confused. He looked down. "Alright. Huh, me first friend. THat's odd. Usually kid's have first friends in kindergarten." He chuckled, making a joke out of it. It was nice to have a friend though. Asher was right, everyone should have a friend. He looked out the window, he saw someone waving at him. It looked like, and sounded like a girl. "Hey ya know her?" HE asked Asher elbowing him. "She seems ta know yous and i think she thinks i'm you." His voice trailed off.

Asher smiled quickly but groaned when he looked out the window. "It's Brooke." He said rolling his eyes. "She's gonna get herself caught and thrown in here too." At that moment, something strange happened. A handsome boy with wild black hair and a flannel shirt opened the whole way, dropped onto the ledge outside their window. He grinned. Asher fell back a bit then frowned. He said one word, "Levi." Levi pulled the window up and said hi.
"Ready to get outta here?" He asked. "See, I followed Brooke. Real sorry about getting you locked up here..." His grin grew louder as someone else arrived on the ground.
"Street's here too?" Asher asked, shocked. "Why'd you bring her here? You know she's afraid of stuff like this...!" Levi shrugged.
"Who's you friend?" Levi asked, pointing at Chase. "Another Tyler?" He winked at Asher, Asher tried to push him off the ledge, but failed as Levi leapt up to the next and then dropped back down.
"Chase Neumann. Not another Tyler. Definitely not another Tyler." Asher said glaring and slightly flushed. One; Tyler was Tyler. Two; Chase was sooo not Tyler. Completely different. His name was Tiger for crying out loud! Whereas Tyler's nickname was Buttercup... Asher shook these thoughts, he still loved Tyler. Right?

Chase backed up a little as Levi jumped onto the ledge. He was indian, that much was certain. Chase had never heard of an indian like this before though. 'Another Tyler' What was that? And then he winked at Asher! Poor kid. Chase stepped up to the window. "Name's Chase." He held out a hesitant hand to Levi and winked at Street. He turned to Asher. "Brooke? That's yer sista right? The one that got hurt." He looked down at the sillouette of the girl and around her to make sure no one was coming at her. "Meet us downstairs in a few minutes. If we ain't there, come back for us." He nodded at Levi but talked mostly to Street. "Come on kid." He murmered. He walked back towards the door glaring at all the other boys, daring them to say anything. He crept towards a sleeping boy and punched him in the face, breaking his nose. He grabbed Asher's arm and pulled him behind the door, in time for it to swing open. A cop came rushing in to the boy's cries of pain. Chase pulled Asher into the hallway, running towards the exit. They got outside and Chase laughed. That plan never failed him. Sure the cops would catch up with him eventually, but he was gonna make sure that was later rather thatn sooner.

Levi didn't look pleased to be taking orders from Chase, or the fact that he kept talking to Street. Levi nodded stiffly and dropped to the ground below, Street there to help him up. Asher felt his stomach flip as Chase grabbed his arm and it took all his concentration to keep his knees from shaking. When he ran outside, he hugged Brooke tightly. "It was horrible in there, all dirty and smelly. Luckily Chase was here to help!" He said, pulling the boy over to him. "He's the one who rescued you from Killer!"
Levi's face looked stormy. "I would've rescued you eventually." He said bitterly. Street smiled sadly.
"Nice ta meet ya, Chase. I'm Street, this is Levi and of course ya know Brooke!" She smiled sweetly causing Levi to frown more.
