Was she a glutton for punishment? Goose thought to himself. Frowning, he turned to the boy and picked him up. He brushed dirt off his shoulder as a way to slide in and whisper that he was one of the Snakes. They boy turned white, stammered a thank you and started telling the others that it was time to leave. They looked at him in wonder but shrugged and left with him. The Snake gang had been notorious before Goose became the leader. Now they were feared. Their reputation had increased even while he was in juvie since he managed to send out plans that helped the gang secure a nice base. With the troublemakers gone, he returned to Anna's side.<br/><br/>"Why would you want to help someone that was obviously belittling you?" he asked her. He had been cured of that habit very quickly in his first few months as a convicted sex offender.  "Never mind, it's not my place to ask. Thank you for walking with me, by the way. Would you like me to walk you home to make sure no one else bothers you?"
