David's mouth was dry. He knew Zip would never give up that necklace. And he didn't expect her to. "Look, you got the money. The necklace is cheap; not worth a dime to anyone but her."

"Give me the necklace or I swear I'll kill you both," the man said in a hushed, worried voice. Zippy pulled away from David, determined not to cry. She had lost the necklace hundreds of times, it was only a matter of time that she would lose it for real. She unclasped it, and handed it to the man.
The man was about to leave before he glanced at it, stopping, his eyes glued to the necklace. He probably paused for too long because Zippy punched him hard in the face.
((look. I KNOW the whole 'long lost brother' thing has been done before, but I can't help it. I really cant.))

((I LOVE IT SO MUCH!))
David stared for a split second, then grabbed her hand. "COME ON!" He started tugging her out of the alleyway.

Zippy grabbed the necklace out of their attacker's hand, and her own hand already bloody and sore. She'd never hit anyone so hard in her life.
"W-wait!" their attacker moaned, his hand on his face as he tried to stand up, calling after them. "E-E-Erin!"
Zippy stopped on the edge of the alley, her heart pounding. She glanced at David, confused, before turning back to look at their attacker, who was attempting to stand up, his nose bloody. He held up his knife, and tossed it to the side, trying to indicate he wasn't going to harm them.

David was very confused, and kept tugging at her to leave. "Zip, come on. Let's go!"

"Oh my....god," Zippy whispered, grabbing David's wrist, her eyes glued to their attacker. It couldn't be, could it? After all these years?
"Eli?" She asked in a hushed whisper, not moving. This couldn't be, even when the attacker nodded slowly, walking towards them. She began to shake.

David moved to stand in front of her. "Now--now you just stop right there. Don't come any closer." Eli?? But wasn't that...there was no way...was there?

Zippy peered at the man from behind David, not wanting to believe it. But he recognized the necklace, he recgonized her, he was unarmed.
"Oh god," Zippy set out loud, her eyes locked to Eli's, who had actually listened to David, one hand to his bleeding face and the other out at Zippy. "I don't know whether to hit you or hug you."
Eli didn't say anything, he just looked at the blood in his hand. "I can't believe you socked me so hard."

David blinked. "I--but--what exactly is going on here?"

"Apparently, the asshole who tried to stab me in the back actually did stab me in the back," Zippy explained to David, glaring at Eli and crossing her arms over her chest. She should be more afraid, but she wasn't.
"Erin," Eli began, walking over to her and handing David his money. "What are you talking about? It's....it's good to see you."
Zippy didn't move, but her eyes were glued to him anyway. He'd grown up to be actually fairly handsome. It was just a shame that he was a criminal. Zippy began yelling at him in Yiddish.

David hurriedly shoved his wallet back into his pocket. "Just for clarification...how do you know this guy, and why aren't we calling the cops?"

Zippy ignored David, and just kept yelling at Eli in Yiddish, who responded calmly in English. "No....Yes, I did!....I have been looking for you!....ERIN CALM DOWN!" He took a hold of her shoulders.

David moved, pushing Eli's arms away from Zippy. "Don't. Touch her." He glared him, annoyed and confused and feeling left out.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" Eli held his hands up in defeat, wiping more blood away from his nose with a handkerchief.
Zippy, on the other hand, was shaking again. "Dave. David, its my brother." She grabbed David's wrist again, feeling overwhelmed and shock was beginning to kick in. She squeezed David's wrist before fainting. Eli stood there, his jaw dropping, and looked at David.

David was just barely able to catch her before she hit the pavement. He scooped her into his arms, bridal-style, then shot Eli the most loathing, dirty look he could manage. "Nice of you to show up." He turned and walked out of the alley, carrying Zippy to the LH.
