Thank you all for reading my stories! Sadly to say this will be my last upload before school offically starts :( But don't worry I plan to continue writing on my own time and I will post a new story every week or so. This part of the will mostly discuss the other members back stories and how they entered the gang as well as a few other surprizes! Hope you like it!

(Ralph's view)

It's been a few days since we learn we are in Crow's Point Prison, a prison mostly for furs who have broken the law in some way. Mostly petty theifts and unpayed taxes but no one real serious...nobdy except for me and Johnny.

We have alot of respect around here, we are highly looked upon as heroes to the furs and in return they don't kill or rape us in prison...sounds fair. Eddie has become our new friend and we talk about everything we did during our robbing spree and our pasts, he was a talkative sort so he told most of the other inmates, which didn't bother us.

One day we were in the courtyard again around a table playing cards. Johnny had a cigarette in his mouth which for prison terms meant he was rich and powerful here...a cigarette in prison is like a million dollars. Eddie was looking at his cards carefully and trying to see if maybe he could see my hand through my eyes and stoic poker face.

"All in Ralph" Eddie said pushing in a few poker chips.

"All in" Johnny added

"Alright" I said moving my chips in too

There were 2 aces, 1 king, and two sevens on the table. Johnny had a 2 and a 8 so in basic terms he had nothing. Eddie had a smile on his face and was nearly jumping in joy when he thought I had nothing either.

"HA! I got a pair of kings! I win!" He said showing a king and a 5 I grabbed his hand and showed him face to face 2 aces in my hand.

His face turn a bit angry like child would and started to pout and mumble.

"No fair Ralph! No one can see through your poker face!" He said crossing his arms

"Then that was your mistake to invit him to poker! No one in my gang has ever managed to defeat his poker face! Hell, sometimes we rely on that poker face when we need money desperately!" Johnny said inhaling and exhaling his smoke.

"How do you do it Ralph?" Eddie asked putting his arms up in surrender.

"I think of my past" I said distributing the chips to them again.

Johhny went silent while Eddie was confused by what I meant

"What do you mean by think of your past?" He asked.

I told him, I told him everything and Johnny justed nodded his head to everything I said. Every detail, Every specific location and time...everything. We were in prison, its not like things could get any worse around here! Eddie was taken aback by my story.

"Hey man I'm sorry..I didn't mean to give back any horrible memories or that I just-" Eddie apologized

"Its alright" I said giving him a small smile, I didn't mind honestly it feels good to tell my story.

"Are all your guys stories that incredible?" Eddie asked refering to our gang

"Maybe I'll tell you mine...and Kelly's really since we've known each other from childhood." Johnny said throwing down the cigarette and pressing it against the ground.

"I didn't really have a family like Ralph so when I was just a baby I was in an orphanage. As I grew up I learned how to defend myself and talk like a leader. One day in the orphanage when a group of humans didn't like how I proposed a little deal Kelly suddenly came in and started to beat the crap out of everyone! That force of nature chased them all out and for some reason never left my side since then.

When I asked him why he said he likes following and likes how I managed things. It wasn't long before we were to old to be adopted and force out of the orphanage. We tried to get decent jobs like regular people but the economy was suffering and 2 kids who knew only the orphage their whole lives didn't look good on a resume.

But that was alright for me.....because then....I had Kelly...he was my friend, my brother and I was his....we both had no families and we both learned to do things the hard way.....as for how we got into robbing....We just did it one day...Kelly and I went into a bank and took down the guard and grabbed his gun and keys and took as much money as we could...I think maybe we took off with $25,000 and for orphans who never saw $100 bills well...it was like we robbed the world but soon after we spent it all we had nothing left so we robbed again, and again until we became famous.

We don't plan on robbing forever....once we have enough Kelly and I plan to go to Cuba and buy a mansion or something....he just doesn't want to leave my side for some reason." Johnny added before finishing his story

"And the others?" Eddie asked

Henry was born in Kansas and he was nothing compared to the guy he was now....he studied alot, did extra work around the house and was a good boy. He had a mother, father, and 2 younger brothers to take care of so he did whatever work he had to do.

Since he was a little nerd, the people at school teased him and being a nerd bull only made it worse. One day though, his mother and father died in an accident and it completely changed him...he didn't take shit from anyone anymore and busted their face in when they tried to.

His brothers fell ill recently and had to work many jobs in order to pay the medical debts. Kelly and I found Henry when he was outside of a bar literally broken in both spirit and body...he overworked himself and overstressed himself to the brink of insanity or suicide.

We told him about the robbing we do and he was unsure if he wanted to do it but after a $51,000 robbery he loved what he was doing and was paying off the debts like they were nothing...Henry is deathly loyal to us because he refuses to go back to that 3 jobs routine of his and loves money.....hes the only one in the gang who doesn't give to the poor back but truthfully we don't mind that much....he may appear to be a monster at first but he has good intentions and great loyalty.

The tough bull with a heart of gold.

Tom was an interesting fellow for sure....he was the last person we ever expected to join our gang....maybe because he was the son of a rich family that made jewelery. He doesn't tell us much but I think he just decided he had enough of the rich parties and spoiled brats that he just let loose his inner anger and demon.

We were at a bank robbing the place of course and for some reason he just got up and helped us rob the bank and fight off the cops......at first we were cautious of him but we've been in tight jams before and he's helped us out so many times before that we trust him like any other member in our...family

He has taken a bit of interest with Nicky and when I asked him about it he said 'he reminds me of me when I was little' and he left it at that. Tom is our talker in the group and has such a way with words. One girl said words pour out of him like a majestic fountain and they tasted like honey...wierd but he liked the compliment.

Jack and Caleb grew up in a bad street and they learned at an early age that they could only trust themselves.....its kinda funny because they said the first time they met each other they were both trying to rob a car for spare parts for a local gang....the thing was the didn't know they were part of the same gang.

They said they fought each other like crazy literally beating each other to the pulp and finally when both were just trying to drive away...the car didn't even have an engine in it...you would think that they would still hate or fight each other but no! There the best of friends and can hardly ever seperate from each other.

Both of their families died out they said and they want to just leave...like right now. Caleb wants to move to Mexico and start up an automobile shop while Jack just wants to get away with Anne and move to Brazil.....but they have hardly enough money for the trip and the house....the thing is sure you may have enough for the trip and house but what about the future after that? You still have to pay taxes and for food and that so you need as much as you can get.

Just like Tom Nicky was the last person I would expect to join us....innocent, smart, and playful....he got good grades in school and was friends with everyone. He had that certain charm to make everyone feel at ease and happy even though his life was anything but peaceful.

He was born in Maine and his father was a fisherman, his mother died of illness and it was just him and his father trying to just barely hold onto a life. After years of struggling his fathers heart simply couldn't take the work and gave out....he died of a heart attack

Nicky tried his best to move on but it was too much for him....he just robbed a liquor store one day and never looked back.....Henry asked him why a liquor store and Nicky replied 'I have no idea....I don't even drink beer!' He joined our gang because he wanted more money and needed it to move to London on day. The thing is now....Nicky somewhat reminds me of Jamie...both innocent and playful. Tom and Nicky spend alot of time alone saying they are discussing...future plans

"Were a group of interesting people for sure!" Johnny said looking up at the sky

"An interesting Group" I said day dreaming.

3 guards suddenly approached our table and grabbed me by the shoulders.

"You got a visitor asshole!" They shouted dragging me to the visitor room

I didn't know if they were telling the truth, maybe I would be beaten and tortured for what I did. Johnny and Eddie and some of the other inmates looked ready for a fight but I shoke my head to tell them no.....the last thing we needed was more death.

I was forced into the building with my prison clothes still on and my confidence breaking with every step...what were they going to do to me?! Shock me? Whip me?! Possibly stab and shot me?! I was then forced into a small room with white walls and a single table and chair in the middle.

I think I had no other choice but to sit down and wait for what ever they were going to do to me. I was sure that some time a cop would come in and ask me questions about the others but in truth I would have no idea where they went. I breathed unsteadily and I was shaking for the silence of this room....this was torture on its own right!

A visitor? Who could visit me?! The gang couldn't possibly risk-unless.

As I thought that the door opened and I saw 2 figures standing at the exit...one was a cop the other was a figure dressed in a purple dress, large purple hat with a feather and breath taking jewelery and such one.....she was drop dead gorgeous....but who was she.

"Purse Madam" The cop said pointing to her purples purse....wait.....I've seen that purse before! IS IT REALLY-?!

She handed him the purse with no words.

"One minute" he said shutting the door and leaving me and this woman in the room alone.

I stood up from the chair hoping this woman was the one girl of my dreams....Jamie.

"J-Jamie?" I asked hoping and praying for dear life that it was her.

She walked to me slowly and when she was right in front of me, she put her arms around my head and pulled me into a deep and passionate kiss. I placed my lips on hers and I gently rubbed her back feeling the oh so soft sure I loved and adored.

Our tongues wrapped around the others and I felt tears exit both of our faces...It was her! Jamie was right here! Suddenly I felt something against my tongue and it wasn't hers...it was....I opened my eyes from the kiss and she back away again without a word and left the room.

I raised my hand for her to come back...but no use...my mouth was full of confusing, love, and shock....as well as something else. The cop entered the room and dragged me to my cell taunting me

"At least you'll get a visitor when you hang Ralph." He said pushing me to the cell room.

I didn't say a thing I only snorted loudly.

It was usual to be like this in here.....dragged and humuliated in front of the others...but soon....we will have some personal revenge. I was lead to the cell where Johnny was and thrown back in. Johnny got out of bed and kneeled down to me checking me for any bruises.

"Both of you will hang" The cop said locking the cell door and walking away.

"I have never had the intention to kill anyone before....but these guys are pushing it!...You alright?" Johnny asked lifting me to my feet

I spat out an item in my hand and looked at him with a grin.

"Remember when you said we can only trust a few women?" I said with a grin

"Yeah why?"

"Because Jamie is one of those women" I said showing the item in my hand

A lockpick

Our day just got better.

A bit short but I hoped you liked it all the same! So Johnny and Ralph have a lockpick but will it be enough to get out? Find out in the next part of Public Enemies! See you guys later!
