"FUCK!"Frank punched the wall.
"Frank! Calm the fuck down!"Linda shouted over the top of his cussing.
"Mum! He knows! He knows what fucking classroom she is in! How the fuck am I supposed to fucking down!"Frank started pacing,"I'm gonna fucking kill him. If its the last thing I do I will fucking kill him."

"Frank,"I rushed over and grabbed him, holding him tightly on the arms,"We need to figure out who his spies are. That way we can have Claire move schools without Cole finding out. Okay? But for us to do this I need you to get a hold of yourself. Think you can do that for me?"
Frank took a deep breath and nodded,"Okay... Sorry Mum."

"Its alright darling. I need you to pick Claire and Lily up. I want them home now,"Linda sighed,"This is gonna mess up Lily's exams."
"Gerard can you come with me? I dont really want to be alone right now,"Frank sniffed.
"Of course Pumpkin. I'll drive,"I let my hands drop, one of them taking Frank's.

"We'll be back soon,"Frank muttered as we walked out of the lounge where everyone was sitting drinking coffee.
"Alright. Love you Frank,"Linda called.
"Love you too Mum,"Frank replied.
"Right, you boys can tell me everything. How much ammo do we have left?"I heard Linda say as we walked out the door.

Once Frank and I were in the car and on our way to get Lily I said,"So. I told you about Cole calling me... Wanna tell me exactly what it is thats happening back home?"
Frank took in a deep breath and said,"Okay. Um... When Cole got out of prison, you remember Jack right?"

"Yeah."
"Well he told Brendon that Cole hadnt gone back home and that instead he was hiding out somewhere and wanted all of his to turn up to an important meeting entitled 'exterminate the fags' the next day. Jack said he had been asked to go but he was over all that fighting shit. He believes we have rights and stuff now so he's our inside man. So anyway, Jack found out that Cole was gathering 'followers' to try and kill all the gay people in Jersey and then New York and where ever else. So naturally Brendon told Pete who told Mikey and me. Bob came back from Chicago to help out but obviously Cole doesnt know that.

"So um... Because the guys were all together and were trying to warn people, they all kept asking me for help so I uh I gave it to them and then, somehow, with the guys warning people, we had some followers of our own. They all voted me their fuckign captain which I did not want at first but when Mikey called with Cole on the phone I knew I needed to accept my responsibilities. I called Mikey later and he said that Cole had a gun to him so he had to act natural."

"How come Linda knows?"I said as I pulled up outside Lily's school.
"Uh- she heard me talking to Mikey about getting guns of our own for protection and so I had to tell her everything and for some reason she didnt go straight to the cops abou what was happening and instead said to leave the weapons to her so I did and next thing I knew we had a base in Jersey with a box full of guns and a box full of ammo."

"Jesus,"I muttered. We were walking across the car park towards the front office. The sky was cloudy and dark, threatening to rain on us.
"I know..."Frank sighed,"I'll continue my story once we're back in the car cause I dont think we should be heard talking about it at school."

I nodded, opening the door for Frank, and followed him inside.
"Hi, I need to sign out Lily Evans,"Frank smiled politely at the lady at the front desk. Her grey hair was pulled back into a tight bun, making the glare on her dragon like face more sinister.
"And who are you?"
"I'm her brother."
"Name?"She muttered and started typing on the comuter.

"Lily Evans,"Frank repeated. I could see the anger building up in his eyes.
"No,"The bitch looked back up at Frank, annoyance etched in every line on her face,"Your name."
"Frank Iero."
"Sorry. You arent on here. You dont have permission to sign her out,"She smirked at us.
"Well then call my fucking Mum she'll give you fucking permission,"Frank spat.

My eyes flicked to the left at a door opening and Lily walked out looking pissed off.
"Lily?"
Her head snapped up as she took notice of Frank's raging,"Frank? Gerard? What are you guys doing here?"
"We're here to take you home,"Frank left the dragon lady and grabbed Lily's hand to drag her towards the door.

"Um excuse me but you cant just take her out of school like this,"The dragon lady stood up.
"Well then call my mum like I fucking told you to and you'll find that actually I can do whatever the fuck I want when it comes to my best friend,"Frank snarled and continued walking outside.

I looked back at the spluttering woman for a second before rushing after Frank and Lily.
"Frank that was fucking awesome. Everyone in school is scared of Miss Pike. Like, really scared.,"Lily grinned as we walked over to my car.

"Mmm. Lily you know how I said I dont want you having anything to do with the fight?"Frank sighed. Lily glanced at me before nodding,"Well I changed my mind. I need your help."
"Whats happened? Arent the guys arriving today?"Lily said as we got in the car.
"They're at Mum's now. Gerard found out about it all today and then it turns out that Cole knows damn near fucking everything about us because he gave Gerard a call and has been watching us for god knows how long,"Frank grumbled as I started for Claire's school.

"Holy fuck..."
"I know. So Gerard. Where was I? Oh right. So once Mum got us the ammo and shit I decided that we needed to go straight to the source. It's no secret that Cole's oldest brother is a police man so we know thats where he's getting his guns and shit. We found out how they get delivered and started to track the deliveries but they caught on straight away and uh stopped us. Now they have decoys as well as the real one so we gave up on that idea.

"We know they've got bases all over but we dont know where their main base is. When we do raids its us attacking a mini base,"Frank had gotten quieter now.
"What happens on these raids?"I said and stopped the car outside Claires school.
"Well... We obviously plan it before hand so we know how to break in. We keep as many prisoners as we can but- not all of the people there um... Survive,"Frank mumbled before getting out of the car as fast as possible.

I really hoped that didnt mean that they killed people. I bolted out of the car and after Frank who was already at the reception.
"Hi Frankie! Do you need to see Claire?"The much more friendly receptionist smiled as we walked in.
"Actually I need to take her out of school early today, Kathy,"Frank smiled brightly.

"Of course! Do you mind telling me why though? Just so I can let her teacher know,"Kathy said as she picked up the phone and pressed a button.
"Oh uh-"Frank glanced at me,"Family emergency."
"Oh dear. I hope everythings okay?"Kathy started drumming her fingers.

"Oh uh Mum's just- um- had an uh a-accident,"Frank turned to me and buried his face in my chest, pretending to cry. I put my arms around him to make it more authentic.
"Oh no! You poor poor things. I'm sure she- yes hi Sherryl, I need you to send Claire to the reception please. Her brother is here to pick her up,"Kathy said into the phone.

"Why? Uh-"Kathy glanced at me.
"Dont tell her, we want to tell Claire,"I said quickly. It probably wouldnt be good to tell Claire that Linda had been in an accident only for her to get home and have Linda be fine.
"Its a family emergency. Her Mum's been in an accident but dont tell her, Frank would like to tell her himself,"Kathy said sadly. Kathy hung up the phone and looked up at us,"She'll be on her way in a minute. Take a seat."

Frank detached himself from me and went to sit down, keeping his face averted from Kathy to hide his dry eyes.
"Frank. In this- book that you're telling me about. Do the good guys kill the bad guys during the raids?"I said quietly.

Frank took a deep breath and said,"Sometimes. They uh the good guys do their best to you know, take them as prisoners so they can find Cole but the bad guys are shooting the good guys so the good guys fight back for their own safety."
"Oh..."I couldnt think about that. As upsetting as it was that Frank was basically justifying killing these guys, I understood. These guys were trying to kill my friends. So Frank was giving them the chance to fight back.

"I dont understand how Cole managed to get all these followers in like what, two weeks? Almost three?"
"I know. But hey, we managed to do it in even less time. We're immediately better than him,"Frank grinned at me. I smiled and stood up as A girl of about 9 years old walked through the reception doors holding Claire's hand.

"Frankie!"Claire let go of the girls hand and ran to Frank, jumping on his lap.
"Hey kiddo!"Frank smiled and held her tightly.
"How come you're here?"Claire asked happily.
"I'm taking you home,"Frank stood up, holding onto her.

"How come?"Claire repeated.
"Well..."Frank said slowly as we walked out the door. As soon as we were far away enough Frank said,"Mummy wants you home. I dont know why though she just told me to get you and Lily."
"Lily!"Claire spotted her sitting in the back of my car.

"Yup. Lily's here,"Frank muttered. Frank put Claire in the backseat, buckling her in, while constantly checking over his shoulder.
"Oh my god,"Frank said suddenly once he was in the car.
"What?"I said.

"I- you know how Cole knows? Well I've been seeing this guy, always in the distance just watching me. It makes sense now,"Frank thumped his head on the head rest.
"It doesnt matter now. We all know so lets just go home and deal with it,"I sighed.
