Alexis' POV

The next day, the gang and I were wondering aimlessly around the Blood base. All of the Bloods watched as we walked by. There was a strange feeling in the air, most likely do to the fact that we weren't Bloods, just troublesome friends of their second in command.

"Can you believe this?" Blair asked out of no where. We all looked at her.

"Jaden being a gang leader or us being in a gang hideout?" Syrus asked. Blair jumped over to Syrus' side and leaned in toward his ear.

"Both!" She yelled into his ear. Syrus jumped back, holding his ear.

"There is no need to yell." Syrus sighed. He rubbed his ear while
shooting her a dirty look. Blair took a step back and folded her arms across her chest. Suddenly, Atticus was standing by Blair. He yawned and stretched his arms above his head.

"What are you two yelling for? I just woke up!" Atticus sighed. No one
questioned the fact he appeared out of no where. Blair looked up at Atticus.

"Us here and Jaden being a gang leader," Blair filled him in. Atticus placed his hand on his chin in a thinking manner.

"Yeah that was unexpected," he decided with a nodded.

Just then Chazz walked up, the only one who didn't look out of place in
black. He was followed by Mindy and Jasmine. He seemed to realize because he turned around with his own glare.

"Stop glaring at me! I didn't mean to go into the girl's bathroom!" Chazz yelled.

"Likely story," Mindy said. Jasmine nodded in agreement. I giggled as Chazz tried to defend his actions.

"I bet you thought Alexis was in there with us," Jasmine said. Chazz blushed and took a step back.

"No! I just mistook the bathroom for the men's room!" Chazz defended himself. They continued arguing until Jim, Chris, Emmy, and Jess walked up to them.

"Uh oh, if you guys keep fighting like that, we may have to recruit you," Jim teased. Shirley snickered at his feet…at least, I think she snickered. Mindy, Chazz, and Jasmine stopped arguing and took a step away from the high ranking Bloods. The Bloods seemed totally at ease, even with some huge muscled guys only twenty feet behind them playing with guns.

"How did you guys sleep?" Chris asked. I shrugged but stayed silence. In all truth, I couldn't get a wink of sleep. I was too wound up.

"Like a baby!" Atticus answered, yawning. No one else had anything to
say. The Bloods laughed.

"Good to know," Chris nodded, chuckling. Emmy walked over to him and laced her fingers through her hand. I cocked my eyebrow in confusion. Who knew there was love in the gang world?

Oh, right. Jesse and Mel. Who I noticed weren't with them. I was about to ask where they were when Blair cut in.

"Where's Jaden?" Blair asked. Chris looked at Jess who shrugged.

Jim cut in. "With Jesse." We all gave him very confused looks.

"Where?" Syrus pressed. Jim chuckled.

"Training." At the worried and curious looks they received, all four of
them laughed. "Come on," Jim said. Jim turned around and headed back down a tunnel. The other Bloods ran after him. We raced after them.

xXx

We followed the Bloods down a few hallways until we reached a large, steel door. Jim stopped outside it and smiled at us. He pushed the door opened and held it for us.

"Civilians first," Jim said. The gang and I walked in, ignoring his remark. The others followed after us. Jim closed the door.

We were standing on steel rafters in a large building. I don't remember climbing to get this high.

"This place is actually underground," Jess said, as if she could read my mind. I nodded and looked around the room.

It really wasn't much to look at. It was just very large. The rafters ran all the way around the top of the building. The floor of the building wasn't sand or dirt, but it wasn't carpet, wood, or cement. I couldn't exactly tell what it was. It had the appearance of sand but there were no loose bits of sand flying around the air.

I heard someone talking down on the floor. Without realizing what I was doing, I walked to the railing and leaned over it. I gasped at what I saw.

Jesse and Jaden were down on the floor…shirtless. A sheen of sweat covered their bodies. They were in what appeared to by black sweat pants. Their pants road low on their hips. The legs of the pants were rolled up to the middle of their shins.

Jesse spun around on his left foot with his right foot extended toward Jaden, ready to kick him. The speed of his spin was impeccable. He was practically a blur. Apparently, Jaden could see him, because he caught Jesse's foot with his bare hands. Jesse nearly fell over. Jaden gave Jesse's foot a quick twist. Jesse gasped as his entire body was flipped and he landed on the ground with a hard 'thud'. I cringed as Jesse smacked against the ground.

"Hmm, impressive," Mark commented from beside me. I epped and jumped away from him. Mark looked at me, confused; however, there was amusement in his eyes. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?" Mark asked. I smiled sheepishly.

"Just a little," I admitted. Mark chuckled. Mark looked back at Jesse and Jaden. Jaden helped Jesse to his feet, then dove to the floor and spun around quickly with his leg extended, meaning to trip Jesse. However, Jesse jumped up and did a flip-kick. Jaden quickly did a backwards summersault with his legs extended in the air. Jesse leg collided with Jaden's. The contact helped Jaden complete his summersault and stand up quickly. Jesse landed in a crouched pose.

Chris detangled his fingers from Emmy's and walked over to Mark. Mark looked over his shoulder at Chris. Chris stopped and stood next to Mark.

"Jaden looks like he's better," Chris noted.

Mark looked over at him. "When is he not?" Chris chuckled.

"True that," Chris said. Jaden spun around quickly with his arm extended, intending to nail Jesse in the face. Jesse shot his arm up to protect his face. You could hear the bones clashing together. It made me cringe. Jaden, seeming unaffected by the clash, flipped his arm around to grab Jesse's arm. Jaden spun his leg out and kicked out Jesse's feet. He flipped him on his back.

Jesse, however, landed on his feet. His hand was wrapped around Jaden's arm. Jesse pulled Jaden to him and placed his hand on his stomach. Jaden cussed as Jesse flipped Jaden over his back. Jaden landed on his back with a hard 'clack'. It sounded like it hurt worse than when Jesse landed on the ground. Jaden scowled up at Jesse; Jesse smirked down at Jaden.

Chris laughed at them. Jaden jumped to his feet and began fighting with Jesse again. Something red trickled down Jaden's back and landed on the ground. Jaden was hurt and bleeding and yet he kept sparing with Jesse.

"He is the most stubborn person I know," Chris said, spotting the blood. Mark chuckled.

"Jesse and him are tied," Mark said. Chris looked up at him curiously. Mark pointed to Jesse. Jesse spun around to reveal his back. On his back was a large bruise, black and blue. Fairly new.

"Ok so they are both stubborn," Chris conceded. He then turned back to
watch the spare. The gang was watching Jesse and Jaden in awe. Emmy, Jim, and Jess were standing on the other side of Mark; they were talking quietly amongst themselves as they watched the battle.

"I bet I could take them both," Danny said, walking into the room. Emmy looked at him.

"Oh yes, I bet you could," Emmy said sarcastically, "Let's try to remember what happened last time you tried to take them both, how about yesterday in the game room, that ended in your favor, defiantly." Danny growled at her. Emmy smiled at him and turned back to the fake fight.

Everyone continued to watch the match until Aster spoke up. "Everyone's
here except Mel. Is she alright?"

Mark turned to look at him. "She's undercover." I cocked my head to the side.

"Undercover?" I repeated in confusion. Mark nodded. Jim looked over at me. He was leaning over the railing to look at me.

"Yeah, ya see Sheila, we higher Bloods are well known faces around the streets and things of that nature. Mel is the only high Blood whose face is a mystery to everyone," Jim explained.

"With good reason," Emmy said. She then chuckled. "With a boyfriend as protective as Jesse, we were lucky to even see her face," Emmy teased.

"But Jesse's overprotective nature worked to our advantage," Mark said. He looked over at us.

"Cribs get new recruits through a school in their turf. All of them are tough, serial killers and all that jazz. The people that make up your worst nightmares are their greatest recruits," Mark explained. I felt nauseous just thinking about it. Jaden was fighting people good enough to be serial killers.

"From this, a few higher Cribs attend the school, to check out the new Crib meat," Mark continued.

"Wait," Bastion held up his hands in a halting manner. Mark looked at him curiously. "Are you saying that all the teachers and the principal of the school actually allow all of this?" Mark's face hardened at the question.

"No one tells Crib Leader One no," Mark's jaw clenched so hard I thought I heard his teeth crying in protest. "Not if you value your life to any degree that is." Mark's voice was hard and so icy; I shivered as if I actually felt the cold of it.

"Okay, but why is Mel 'undercover'?" Syrus asked. Mark sighed and relaxed his jaw slightly.

"The leaders go there and new Cribs are picked out of each class, piece the puzzle together," Mark said. We remained silent; no one dared to say a word. Mark sighed and looked at his watch.

"While you guys are sitting there trying to piece together a four piece puzzle," Mark looked up at us disapprovingly, "Mel should be getting back soon."

"Or now," Mel said from the doorway. We all turned to see Mel standing in the doorway. I blinked, my eyes growing wide.

Mel was dressed in a very short grey, red, and blue plaid skirt. She had knee high white socks on and black shoes. She had a tight, white blouse on; the top two buttons undone, revealing a little cleavage. She had a grey vest on, but it was unbuttoned all the way and hung loosely on her.

With how protective Jesse is Mel, why in the world would he let her out of his site looking like that!

Mark seemed, however, unaffected by her appearance. He turned around and leaned against the railing.

"Got anything?" Mark asked her. Mel nodded. Suddenly, Hassleberry slammed his fist on top of his open hand, startling us.

"Oh, I get it now!" Hassleberry exclaimed. Mel cocked her head to the side in confusion.

"Got what now?" Mel asked. Hassleberry pointed at her.

"You're undercover as a student in the Crib school!" Hassleberry exclaimed. Mel blinked once, and then smiled.

"Well, you know, school girls make great spies," Mel teased. Hassleberry smiled. Mark chuckled.

"Anyway, Mel," Mel turned to look at Mark, "There are new uprisings?" Mark asked.

"Yeah," She nodded. She then walked over so she was leaning on the
railing that ran around the rafter area. "You two stop fighting and get
changed."

Jesse, who currently had Jaden in a head lock, looked up. Jaden continued to try and wriggle out of Jesse's grasp.

"Alright babe," Jesse called up, giving Jaden's head one more squeeze before dropping his arms. Jaden glared at Jesse, who smirked. Jaden sighed and looked up at us.

"You change too!" Jaden called back. Mel scowled at him.

"No, I'm just going to sit there and look all sexy for all of you," Mel said sarcastically. I blushed at Mel's statement, slightly embarrassed for her. Emmy, Jim, and Chris snickered. Jaden smirked down on the floor.

"Save it for later when it's just you and Jesse, please and thank you," Jaden teased. Jesse punched him playfully in the arm. Mel rolled her eyes and leaned back, away from the railing. Her hands remained on it, however.

"Just hurry up," Mel ordered. Jesse and Jaden blinked at the order. Jaden turned and whispered something to Jesse. Whatever he said, Jesse wasn't entertained by it. He hissed something back at him. Jaden said something again; Jesse sighed and said something much more calmly. They walked out of the room and headed toward a door off to the side.

Maria walked into the room as Mel turned around and looked at us. Maria gasped when she saw Mel. She ran over to her and grabbed Mel's hands.

"Mel, how did you do on your test?" Maria asked enthusiastically. The Bloods looked at them confused. Mel's face fell into a frown; her eyes said that she was upset.

"I passed…with flying colors," Mel said in an emotionless tone. Maria squealed and threw her arms around Mel.

"Congratulations!" Maria screamed. Everyone blinked in confusion. Mel pushed Maria off gently and looked at the ground.

"I'm not really that happy about it," Mel muttered. Maria gasped.

"Why?" Maria asked, flabbergasted. Mel continued to stare at the ground. She took a deep breath and looked up.

"Don't worry about it Maria," Mel said. Maria opened her mouth to say something but Mel cut her off. "I need to discuss the newest problems with you and the others anyway." Maria frowned but nodded. Mel sighed and kissed Maria on the forehead. "We'll talk about it later love, okay?" Maria nodded. Mel walked around her and headed for the door.

"We're meeting in the meeting room," Mark told her. Mel looked at him over her shoulder.

"Wow, meeting in a meeting room, creative," she said rolling her eyes. Mark chuckled. Mel smirked and left to get changed as well.

"That really wasn't that funny," Danny muttered angrily.

Mark laughed shaking his head. He started to walk out of the room the other
Blood members following after him when Jaden and Jesse appeared at the door.

They were completely dressed up in their normal attire. Except they both lacked shirts and were only dressed in their jackets.

"Uh what should we do?" I asked, realizing we wouldn't be allowed to attend this meeting.

Mark turned back to look at her and shrugged. "Go to the game room."

When no one moved Jaden said, "Its fine. Just listen to Mark. This shouldn't
take long." Chris chuckled.

"Unless Mel begins to ramble like always," Chris remarked. Jesse punched him playfully in the arm. Mark sighed.

"Come on guys, let's get going," Mark said. The Bloods, aside from Jess, walked out of the room. Mark left the door open.

Jess smiled at us. "I guess I'll play tour guide," Jess said. We laughed quietly. Jess left the room and we followed her out.

xXx
