[i]Well this is a surprise.[/i]

Gabriela Mendez, as far as C.J. was aware wasn’t this daring and seeing the surprise on Conor’s face signified that this was relatively out of character for her; but maybe it wasn’t – C.J. didn’t exactly know the girl that much, so this could’ve been perfectly in character. For all she knew Big Business and Gabi got into all kind of shenanigans she didn’t know about. A curious thought. The blonde-haired girl looked over at Connor following his protest at Gabi’s own vaulting of the fence. Number 2 to have the balls. She was surprised Ash hadn’t been the one to vault the fence right after her given their past with the construction site in question. Connor’s protest did bring back the whole Larry Neyman bullshit to the back of C.J’s mind, though, but she probably remembered it differently considering Homeless Jack was the nicest guy she had ever met. She, Ash, and Jack had shared more than a few smokes as he gave them probably the most useful advice an adult had ever given them. Larry Neyman wanted to play the game of “piss off the hobo” and what he got for it was an old combat knife in his leg. Safe to say, Larry’s parents weren’t too keen on losing their chance at being the parents of the kid who took Erie to regionals. 

It was a story that reminded her of Noah, who effectively was this year’s “Larry Neyman”, though he may as well been Larry’s exact opposite. From the stories she heard Larry was more than a little crazy; she once heard her older sister say he pelted a stray dog with a handful of rocks. She shot a quick glance at Noah before looking back at Connor.

Homeless Jack would be suspicious about a bunch of teenagers, but once he saw her and Ash he probably wouldn’t draw his knife and threaten them to ‘scram’ -- or at least that was the hope.
