Rachel's POV...I didn't have time to think about anything other than hopping inside the car and closing the door to escape the creepy stalker. The guy on the driver's seat hit the gas and rushes off out of the scene, leaving the creepy stalker standing near the dumpling shop alone."Ok, how in the world did you know I was here?" I ask the guy with curiousity."Aren't you suppose to be a little happy that I saved you from a possible criminal?" he says with a chill tone as he keeps his vision on the road.I sigh at the thought of his statement being right. Yes, I should be happy that this guy actually came at the right time to save me from that creepy stalker."I'm sorry. I should have thanked you for letting me in your car.

Rachel's POV....I stood in silence as I find myself surprised to what I just heard."Alex..." "I know it sounds surprising, to ask you to join a gang. I promise I won't let anyone lay a finger on you. I'll teach how to fight and even shoot. I just don't want you to get into danger out there," Alex says as he stares deeply into my eyes."Alex...it's all so sudden. The guys, will they be ok with that?" I ask."They are all welcomed to have you! We even asked our leader, Chad, and he was happy with the idea," Alex says.
