Jasper groaned as he cleaned off another table. This family had two little kids; not the most fun thing to clean up after. He stretched his back and felt it pop twice and he sighed before looking around. The restaurant was empty. For the third time in a row he was in charge of closing up. Of course this was after he cleaned up the tables he had been in charge of.
Jasper went to the bar and reached behind it to grab a beer. He pulled a knife from one of the sharpeners and easily popped the top off the bottle. He easily downed it and tossed the empty bottle into the trash. Soon he was locking up the doors and he checked his watch. Once again he wouldn't be getting home until close to midnight especially with how the train system worked.
When Jasper got home he grabbed another beer out of his fridge and chuckled to himself. He was slacking on his beer intake; only having drunk four in the time that he usually have downed maybe six or seven. Though it didn't matter, whatever dulled the pain worked. He stumbled through his small one room one bathroom apartment until he got to the shower. When he got to the bathroom he tugged off his shirt and looked at the now pale scar on his right shoulder. The odd thing for him was that he couldn't remember how he ever got it; though it burns ever time he woke up.
After his shower he stumbled to his bed where he fell and fell asleep quickly.
Jasper shot up in his bed as he heard someone bust down his door.
"Get the kid." He heard someone yell.
Jasper looked around and grabbed the pistol on his bedside table and put it in the back of his waistband. He snuck to the door and opened it slightly to look out into the hallway. To his surprise it was empty. He cocked the pistol before sneaking down the hallway. Out of no where someone punch him, dazing him effectively. As the guy restrained his arms and lifted him two more stepped out of the shadows.
"So you're the one he is after?" One guy asked Jasper. "You look pathetic."
Jasper brought his head back sharply catching the first guy off guard. Then he pushed off the guy in front of him to shove him and his captor through the window behind them. As they both fell Jasper kicked the guy's knee out and pushed off against his waist. The guy hit the ground hard but Jasper was able to give himself enough propoltion to land in a pool.
As Jasper started to get out of the pool he saw the guy getting up. He when he got a steady footing he tore across the backyard and scaled the fence. As he landed on the other side he cursed as he felt his left ankle twist painfully. Jasper bit his lip before sprint as far he could until he tumbled head over heels. He looked right behind him and the same guy that took the fall and grabbed onto his injured ankle and tightened his grip around it. Jasper gasped in pain before kicking the guy in the face but he only crawled closer.
"You will die here Jasper Covano." The guy rasped.
"The hell I won't." Jasper growled as he pulled out the pistol and shot the guy twice in the face.
As the guy let of him Jasper got back and looked at the guy in horror.
"What are you?" Jasper asked as the guy's skin peeled to reveal circuitry.
Jasper didn't wait for an answer before he started to run again.
Jasper collapsed in the middle of a street after running for another 7 hours or so. He looked at his ankle which was swollen painfully. Before longer he passed out from a mix of dehydration, hunger, pain, and exhaustion. Even he had been awake there would've been no way for him to fend off the person who found him.
