Well heres the second chap. Sorry it took so long I'll try to post the other chapters sooner, oh yeah please tell me what you think of my story...

Chapter 2:

It was then when I started planning my escape. I knew I had to get away and prove that I was innocent. But how was
I gonna escape? The two Slig guards stared at me as if they knew I was planning something then to my suprise both
Sligs said something that changed my view of their kind forever.

“Hang on well gettya outta here.” said the one Slig infront of my while the other just nodded his head.

I couldn’t believe it, these Sligs where actually gonna let me go free!

“Oh, by the way my names Chris and this is Tom.” Tom just looked at me and nodded his head again.

I was about to introduce myself when Chris interrupted me.

“You don’t have to introduce yourself, we know who you are.”

For a moment there was silence as I sat their with a huge grin on my face. But one question kept bugging me.

“Why are you guys helping me?”

“I don’t know... we just are.”

As Chris said this he had a kinda sad tone in his voice and from the looks of it I could tell he was reminiscing back to
a certain event that happened in his life. The truck quickly stopped as we came to a stoplight and it was then the I
could see on how the Sligs planned to get me out. Once we stopped Chris looked at Tom, and Tom just nodded back.

“Yo Boss, can we make a quick stop I gotta go.”

The boss just looked back at Chris, with a furious look and said...

“Why didn’t you go before we left!?”

Chris just sat there trying to think of an excuse.

“Ohh, ok I’ll let ya go.”

When the light turned green we made a right turn and headed for the nearest gas station. Once we stopped Chris
quickly opened the back doors and ran out. I looked at Tom to see where this plan was going, but Tom just nodded
his head towards the to back doors. It was then I noticed that the back doors where slightly opened. Relizing that this
was my only chance I ran and dove out the doors.

“Hey!”

The Glukkon Boss said as I made my escape. As I landed on the cement ground I stopped for a second to see If I
could catch a glimpse of Chris and thank him, but I couldn’t see him and out of the corner of my eye I could see the
Glukkon Boss catching up to me. I quickly turned and began to run but as I did I could feel the Glukkons body
landing on mine, I couldn’t believe it that was the first time I had ever seen a Glukkon pounce like that. As I laid
their still pondering how the Glukkon had managed to jump the ten feet onto me I could hear him whisper.

“You couldda coast me my job, you bastar-!”

But the Glukkons foul mouth was interrupted by the voice of Chris.

“He midda not coast you your job, but he did coast you your life!”

With that said the Glukkon let out a quick gasp then his breath was quickly cut short by the sound of a gunshot. I laid
their stunned into silence as the Glukkon thick, cold blood trickled down my neck.

“You ok?”

I could hear Chris ask as I shoved the Glukkons dead body off of me.

“You saved me again... thanks.”

I said slowly trying to regain breath. I looked down at the Glukkon and for the first time I could see him clearly, not
through blurry eyes or from behind the back but face to face... and I noticed that the glowing red in his eyes had
slowly began to disappear and for a moment I felt sorry for him as I relized that he wasn’t the evil, self-centered
creature I had thought his race to once be. He had changed my view of his kind, just like Chris had changed my view
of his.

“Well, looks like Im a wanted criminal now also. Do you mind if I travel with ya?”

I just looked up, smiled and said

“sure...”
