Gravitys POV.

I flinched as I opened my eyes because of the intense sunbeams that greeted me.

I had a throbbing headache that felt like someone was using my head as a drum set.

The second thing I noticed is that Danny wasn't in the room, only Summer who was still sleeping beside me.

I looked to the floor to see a pillow indicating that Danny slept on the floor.

But where is he now?
He wouldn't leave....

Right?

Just then, the door opens and I let out a breath of relief when I see Danny.

I was about to speak but he put his fingers to his lips, indicating that I should shut up.

He pointed to Summer then made a motion with his hand, telling me to follow him.
He led me out the door and shut it behind him.

"We need to leave" he said

"Ye-"

"Without Sandra" he finished.

"it's Summer. But why, she's the only one who can help us"

"I heard her on the phone last night"

"And?"

"With police- she's going to turn us in"

I didn't trust Summer from the beginning, but it still felt hurt that I released her from prison and she wants to send us back there.

"Wait here" Danny said to me.

He went in the room and came out 5 minutes later with some money in his hand.

"Where did you get that"

"From her purse"

I sighed. She would surely miss that money when she woke up but how else would we survive.
Getting a job was out of the question as we were wanted criminals.

I didn't choose the criminal life, it chose me.

I was pulled out of my trance by Danny who tugged on my arm.

I'm not gonna be like those characters in books who say they feel lightning in there arms when they're touched by a boy,
But I did feel something.

Danny seems unfazed as he continues to drag me through the strip club. Cups and bottles were littered on the floor.

I didn't realize how dark inside the club was until we burst through the doors.
The blazing sun caused my headache to get even worse.

"Here" Danny handed me the food and a bottle of water.

"The water's for your headache"

"Thanks Danny"

We were at an outdoor restaurant.
We held our held low as we ate.

I looked around, inspecting my surroundings, when I saw a man sitting on the pavement.
He was holding a sign begging for help.

I walked over and gave him the water which I hadn't opened yet.

He looked up in my face as he thanked me.

"Hey, I remember yuh!" He said with what I detected as a Caribbean accent.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"You was arrested the other day, I was there, that's one of my frequent spots"

"Ummm"

"it's a shame what happened to the likkle girl though"

Joy?!

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Danny watching us, probably wondering what's going on.

"I overheard them saying they was gonna put her in some orphanage or someting"

Orphanage?

"Wait, are there any orphanages in this area?"

"Yes, there one up the road. You have to pass a big tree then go down a little further. You gonna see another tree then turn right. Then, you'll see a big red gate-"

"That's the orpanage gate?" I asked.

"No. When you see the red gate turn right. Walk a bit then you'll see a white gate. That mean you reach."

I did not understand that, guess we'll just have to ask on the way.

I then beckoned Danny over.
"Give me some money" I said.

He looked puzzled so I just took a five dollar bill out of his hands.

I wish I had more to give.

"Thank you" I said to the man as I gave him the money and walked away, pulling Danny with me.

"What was that about" he asked.

"I know where Joy is"
His face lighted up, a rare occurrence.

Where are we going ?
To get Joy!
*insert Dora music here*
~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~

We're looking for Joy King" Danny said to the woman at the front.

"And what's your relation?"

"Brother"

She looked Danny up and down, not convinced.

"There's no one here by my name"

You've got to be kidding me.
I don't buy it.

She then leaves and Dannys shoulders slump in defeat.

"Hey" I rub his shoulder."we'll find her"

We were getting ready to leave when we saw a man in a jacket walk up to us. He had a stethoscope around his neck.

"I'm sorry, but I overheard you asking for Joy King?"

We nodded.

"I'm the doctor assigned to this orphanage. 2 days ago they carried her to me. She was really sick. I was in the process of taking a blood sample when she just hopped off the table, Bolted straight for the door."

"And you didn't try to stop her?!" Danny exclaims.

"well," the doctor began "So many kids here want my help. Can't waste it on those who don't"
