An hour passed, he finally arrived. We greeted each other like the old times before.
"Alright, what's the big deal?" he asked.
"The manager who I got a discount from for the portrait I gave to my daughter, he's an arms dealer." I answered. He looked at me. "Well, let's round up the gang." he suggested.

We went to the outskirts of town. Everyone got the news of our reunion, so they got ready. Donny Sikes, the original of our group. I got out of the truck and hugged him. Haven't seen him in ten years after the bombing of 2001. He told me stories of the life he had after leaving the group, he was also the first to leave the group.
"I finally settled down, beautiful wife, married for 15 years now and three kids, all in fourth grade." he stated. I showed him to the truck, he checked it out, he nodded.
"Let me tell my wife, I'll be out soon." He walked into the house, I walked back to the truck, "Who's next on the list?"
"Allison Sherber," he answered looking at a photo of her. I nodded my head. Donny came out after five minutes.
"Let's go!" he yelled out.

We drove to a coffee shop, Daniel Beans Coffee.
"Fancy," I thought in my head entering the building. I looked around for her, she waved at me.
"Hey Knife, how you been?" she asked.
"Good, you?" I asked back, shaking my head and chuckling.
"Good myself too, just got off of work , on vacation now." she answered back.
Knife was my nickname in the old days, I was the only one good enough to handle a knife in our little group.
I left the money on the counter, paying her coffee, we left the place to the truck. She hugged Donny.
"How many people left?" I asked getting in the truck on the passenger side.
"Two more, your ex and Allison's ex," he answered laughing at the picture of Josh Seed. Allison punched my friends back until he stopped laughing.

We drove up Kaitlyn Borinton's drive way. I rung the doorbell. I waited five minuted till her boyfriend answered. He rolled his eyes at me and spat at me with disgust.
"Nice to meet you again too, Wilbert." I commented.
"Kaitlyn your ex is here," he yelled leaving.
She opened the door again. She looked at me, confused.
"If you're here for the money I- 'No, something different,"' I interrupted, "rounding up everyone for one more dangerous adventure."
"Sweet, I'm in. Anything to get me away from Wilbert, he's been a douche lately." she replied.
"Okay," I replied back. We went to the truck, Kaitlyn said hi to everyone.
"Last stop, Axevern Mountain, to get, Josh Seed," my friend chuckled again. Allison flicked his head but he kept on laughing.

"We're here," said Donny. I got out and went up the mountain. Long and tiring. I saw him doing pushups with his shirt off.
"Come on," I paused, "time to go."
"Okay." said Josh jumping up, tying his shirt around his waist.
"Still athletic like you were in 1999," I commented while playfully punching his arm.
"Yeah, see you still cool, calm, and collective. Not caring for the big stuff." he said. I nodded my head.

We reached the bottom of the mountain, everyone was playing music and talking to each other. Josh hugged Allison and Kaitlyn. Did his secret handshake with Donny.
"I'm surprised," Donny paused, "still remember?"
"Of course!" answered Josh back.
Josh and Donny are considered the muscles of our group, Allison and Kaitlyn the survivalists, my friend the fighter, even though I'm as good as him; and me, the brains.

We got to know each other. Got caught up after ten years of not seeing each other, eleven for most of us. Glad to hear everyone is doing well.
