Hmm, a bird of prey? That gives me an odd idea... :)
Bird of prey The Hawks were Sixticton's only biker gang and they gathered in the public library whenever they needed to have a Chapter Meeting. As there were only seven members, one of whom was officially in gaol, it was less a Chapter and more a Brochure but they persevered. They had gathered around the tables that were normally used by schoolchildren after school to sit and do their homework and were trying to keep their voices down in case they attracted the attention of Judy Inderecke, Sixticton's most popular librarian (and owner of the Mayor, who was a dog). "We should have a rally," said Gav, who was the defacto leader of the gang because he had the biggest bike. "Get some flags out and ride up and down the main drag." "What's a drag?" asked Ollie who was officially in gaol and kept looking around nervously in case anyone had seen him come in. "It's what you do to a cigarette," said the skinny thug. He was the only one of the group who was wearing a leather jacket, which was ripped at the pockets and sleeves, and didn't actually own a bike. The rest of the gang hadn't worked out how to tell him that he needed a bike to join, as he was a bit older than them all, and that he looked ridiculous running along behind them, but he still seemed happy. "I'm not allowed to smoke," said Ollie. "If I got caught smoking as well that'd increase my time in gaol." "Juvie," said Gav. "What?" asked Ollie. He took his glasses off and began to clean them on his t-shirt. "They say it in all the films," said Max. He and his brother Miles were sat at the end of the table and had their homework out in front of them. "Dunno what it means though. My dad might, I can ask him." "Are you boys talking?" Judy had finally noticed them and come over. She glared at the skinny thug. "And are you supposed to hanging out with these children?" she asked pointedly. The skinny thug, oblivious as ever, grinned. "We're the Hawks," he said. "Birds of Prey forever!" "Out!"
Greg - hah, having just read yesterday's response I was fully expecting you to turn the goose into bird of prey :)
Appreciate the cameos, though I think I'll save sharing it with the boys for just a little longer. Also: the image of the skinny thug running along behind the bikes definitely cracked me up.
