"Out of food again..." Pheonix said gloomily as he searched his empty cabinets for something to eat. *grumble* Pheonix groaned and held his empty stomach as he walked to the fridge. He opened the fridge a found a few slices of week old pizza. "...maybe i shouldn't." He closed the fridge door and walked out of the kitchen and back to the living room and slumped down onto the couch and let out a sigh. *grumble* "Yea yea i hear ya..." He sighed again as Trucy walked by. "Daddy? Is there somethihng wrong?" she asked. Pheonix gave a small smile. " We're just out of food again. There are a few slices of pizza left from last week but...i don't want to risk food poisoning.""Oh...well..." Trucy though for a moment. "Oh! I could go down to the grocery store and get a few things! I've been making a bit more money than usual at the Wonder Bar from my preformances." Her stomach suddenly growled and she gave a sheepish smile. "And besides I'm getting a bit hungry myself." They both laughed lightly and Trucy stood up. "I'll be back soon Daddy.""Be careful Trucy," said Pheonix with concern noticable in his voice. Trucy smiled. "I will Daddy. Don't worry." Pheonix smiled at her and she smiled back then left. As soon as he heard the door close Pheonix stood and walked to a window that over-looked the street infront of the building and waited. He stared at the setting sun for a few moments before he heard Trucy close the front door to the building. He watched her as she walked down the street smiling. As soon as she was out of his range of sight, Pheonix went back to the couch and sat back down and suddenly worry was all over his face. "Please be careful Trucy...I have a bad gut-feeling about tonight..."
