JOHNHOJ arrived home just in time to eat holographic meatloaf for dinner. It was delicious. Now all he had to do is see if he can find anything on Jimmy Jam. So he went over to his cardboard box with a screen drawn onto it to look up info. On the beforementioned Jammer. What he found was... frightening to say the least. Jimmy Jam wasn't an amatuer, that was for sure. Jimmy Jam had been convicted 42 crimes in total in his three year long criminal career and has allegedly gotten away with twice that amount. Twenty-two charges of illegal substance trafficking, thirteen charges of purposeful manslaughter, 10 charges of human trafficking, and one charge of unwarranted knick-knack patty whack on an unsuspecting bovine civilian.
Now that JOHNHOJ knew who he was dealing with, he realized that he was shouldn't had gotten out of bed yesterday. "Maybe I should move out of Chicago completely, how the hell am I going to stop a crime-lord in training?" JOHNHOJ couldn't think up an answer to this question he asked to no one in particular. "I don't have anyone to help me, there isn't anyone I know who would even stand up to a schoolyard bully let alone a murderer!" JOHNHOJ got up from his computer chair and slowly sauntered over into his kitchen to puzzle over his predicament so more. "Jimmy doesn't know that I'm alive, he probably thinks that my chopped up body is slowly decaying in that dump he dropped my limbs off to. I could just leave and never have to deal with him again..." JOHNHOJ looked out his window to the city streets. He pondered this for only but a fleeting moment, for he knew, "No matter how selfish I am, I have to protect my home. After all, it's the only one I've had for about five hundred years or so."
JOHNHOJ prepared himself for the insanely stupid adventure he is about to make himself suffer through, and since he really had no weapons it didn't take very long. Just when JOHNHOJ was about to leave he thought of something, 'I don't know where Jimmy is...'. This may hamper JOHNHOJ's quest a little, "Well" JOHNHOJ muttered to himself, "How do I find a man who would mostly likely never want to be found?" Unfortunately JOHNHOJ will have to do some human interaction in some low places to get the whereabouts of the sinister Jimmy Jam.
The local law-breaker hangout was a small joint named "This Ain't Your Mama's Criminal Bar". The connection between crime and this bar is lost on the police force, whenever that's intentional or not is up for debate. Now the amount of crime in this area alone was enough to keep any smart person far away. JOHNHOJ is not one of them, he unfortunately is under the misunderstanding that he can actually beat Jimmy Jam. Of course first he'll have to ask some of the local serial killers about where to find the Jam Man. Now all he has to do is get to the front door, which he currently has yet to do. 'I'm not sure how to go about this, this place is notorious for people entering and never coming out.' JOHNHOJ stared at the broken-down looking mess of what resembled a building, but past its expiration date by a couple years, for a little longer than finally dragged himself in. The inside was much worse than the outside, with the main color being reddish-brown practically everywhere, most furniture being close to breaking, the lighting was so poor he could barely make out faces, and nasty looking figures all around the place.
JOHNHOJ struggled to make his way through the dimly lit place looked around until he noticed something that made him uneasy, the two men from before that had beat him up were there, and were right in front of him. Before he could try to leave, one of them turned around and saw him, "Hey! Whatta you think your doin' huh!?" The other man turned around and got up, "You ain't getting out of here that easily..." JOHNHOJ closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable beatdown. "… Until you sit down and have a drink with your old pals!" 'Wait what?' JOHNHOJ thought while being pulled into a seat. "We haven't seen you for some time, Jason!" The Miffed Man said. 'Jason? That's not my name... they must have me mixed up with someone else, can't blame them since it's so dark in here.' "Hey, get three of your best drinks over this direction!" The Disgruntled Thug said to the Bartender. "Hey um, guys, I do really want to stay but I do have places to be so I'll just-" "Come on now," said The Miffed Man, "You just got here and now you won't even talk to your friends? You haven't even addressed us by our names the whole time we've been here!" JOHNHOJ froze 'I don't know their real names, I've always just thought of them as Disgruntled Thug and Miffed Man! Hell, I don't even know what they look like due to my short first run in with them and with the current darkness of this place!' "… You do know our names right?" The Miffed Man asked. "Um..." Was all that JOHNHOJ could muster for an answer. "I didn't think that you'd actually forget us, but it has been five years since you've seen us." The Disgruntled Thug said. "See, I'm Wayne, and this," the newly named Wayne pointed to The Miffed Man, "Is David, remember now?". "AH yes!" JOHNHOJ said, "yes, David and Wayne, how could I forget?! You know, how about we leave, I'm not feeling this place." "But we haven't gotten our drinks yet.". "It doesn't matter, let's go do something fun!" Wayne and David exchanged a look towards each other than followed JOHNHOJ out of the place.
Only now that JOHNHOJ was outside did he see the problem with this, those criminals are definitely going to recognize him. He knew this because he could see Wayne and David clearly now that they were in the streets in the light of the street lamps. Both men were white and appeared to be both 19 or 20 years old. They were of, if not a little below, average height. Wayne was probably about 5'1 and David was 5'0 or 4'11. Wayne had dark Auburn hair that was cut in a 'smart style', he was wearing a plain white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, blue jeans, and white sneakers. David had dark brown hair in an Ivy League style. His shirt was like that of Wayne's except it was short-sleeved so he didn't have to roll them up. His jeans were also blue, but the ends were rolled upward, showing his black loafers. Now enough of describing what they are wearing, because they weren't to happy looking right now. "Hey, you ain't Jason!" Exclaimed Wayne, "You're that JOHNHOJ guy we beat up in that parking lot!". "How'd you survive?" Asked David, "Jimmy said he cut you up and sent you to the dump." "You work for Jimmy Jam?" JOHNHOJ asked. "Enough questions, let's fight asswipe!" Wayne yelled.

'Well shit' JOHNHOJ thought as Wayne threw a punch at his face, knocking him to the ground. "I'm gonna break every bone in your scrawny little body, ya freak!" David stepped back from the fight and pulled something out of his pocket! It... was a slingshot... well it could've been worse. "see how you like this, you freakin' nerd!" JOHNHOJ was just getting off the ground when a small rock struck him in the shoulder, "Ow, that fucking hurt!" JOHNHOJ yelled. Wayne grabbed JOHNHOJ by the collar and started punching him in the face, but JOHNHOJ retaliated with a headbutt! Wayne fell to the ground, but before he could capitalize on this, David shot another rock at him. JOHNHOJ was furious. "Damn it! All right, I'm going to have to kick your ass now!" "You'll have to catch me first, NERD!" David taunted. David sprinted away and JOHNHOJ took chase, Wayne got up and quickly followed. JOHNHOJ had trouble keeping up with David, David kept crossing the street onto the opposite sidewalk, which caused JOHNHOJ to either hit or be hit by a couple cars. "Oh god, I shouldn't of *gasp* quit *cough* the track *wheeze* team!". While catching his breath he was hit by yet another rock, which pushed him into a passing food cart. This caused a combination of screams, exploding food, and pain for everyone involved in the accident. except for David. "Come on! At least TRY to catch me!" David said while running around a corner. JOHNHOJ got up and cleaned himself off, and then heard a voice. "You betta run, 'cause if I catch you, your done, over, FINISHED!" It was Wayne, he had catched up to JOHNHOJ. 'Crap, I don't have time for this. David will get away if I stop now.' So JOHNHOJ continued his chase. He ran around the corner, but immediately tripped over marbles. "Ha Ha Haa! Walk much?" David ran across the street again while JOHNHOJ got hit in the back of the head while getting up. "Ready to met your maker? Ha HA!" 'Alright, I'm done with this punk.' JOHNHOJ got up, punched Wayne in the head, and then kicked him in the balls! "OOOAAAHHHhh, my freakin' balls..." Wayne said as he hit the ground. "Okay, now where'd that other strong-armer go?" He got his answer with a rock to the kneecap and a obnoxious laugh. "Hahahaha Ha *snort* ha ha! Some hero you are, COME ON, I'm right here!" JOHNHOJ resumed his pursuing of David through the streets of Chicago.
They ran past the Ameristar Casino and ended up in the Pyro industrial area. They ran all the way through until the reached some miscellaneous working equipment. David climbed a set up ladder and upon reaching the top pulled the ladder up with him. "You really do care, don't you?" David asked. "Yeah I do," JOHNHOJ answered, "and I won't stop until I stop Jimmy Jam's crime spree and get him and everyone works for him in jail for what they've done!". "Well we'll just see about that, JOHNHOJ!" David fired his slingshot at JOHNHOJ and hit him right between the eyes. "Okay, enough of this!" JOHNHOJ sayed as he grabbed a lid off of a nearby trashcan. David fired again, but the next shot was blocked by the lid. "Hey, that's cheating!" David exclaimed. Then a third voice entered the conversation. "Hang on man, I got your back!". A fist hit JOHNHOJ in the back of the head and when JOHNHOJ turned around to hit Wayne, but then a rock hit him in the back. "When we're done with you, you're jaw will be wired shut, and you'll be drinking liquified food through a STRAW!" JOHNHOJ kicked Wayne's feet from under him and started punching him, until of course he got hit with another rock. "You can't mess with Jimmy's crew, you homeless sack of crap!" JOHNHOJ grabbed a nearby brick, jumped to his feet, and hurled the brick at David and hit him in the chest nearly knocking him off the platform. "Ah! What are you, crazy?" David asked, "No, just pissed off!". "Hey, nobody hits my friend with a brick! Get ready for a world of pain, maggot!" Wayne was on his feet again and ready to strike. JOHNHOJ and Wayne exchanged blow after blow while David readied another shot. "I'm going to enjoy making you squirm like a nightcrawler that just got cut in half!" Wayne threw a kick towards JOHNHOJ's gut, but JOHNHOJ caught it, spinned Wayne around, and then clotheslined him down to the ground! "Ah... *cough*… I'm done, ah my head." JOHNHOJ got up and faced David... just to be hit with another rock. "You can't just do that to my friend, you've crossed the line, I hope your insured!" JOHNHOJ blocked a second shot with another trash can lid took cover behind some rubble. 'What do I do now?' JOHNHOJ looked around but didn't see another brick, but then he looked at the trash can lid he had and got an idea. 'If I can hit this shot, I could beat him...' JOHNHOJ took a quick breath, got up, and readied himself for another shot. David shot another rock, which was deflected. "Heh, you've been good so far, for a cripple! But get ready, because after I beat you I'll make you eat a pile of rotten leaves, Ha Ha HAA!". "Enough, get ready to be knocked down a peg!" JOHNHOJ threw the trash can lid and hit David in the forehead, which caused him to fall off the platform. "AAAHHH, UGH! Oaaahh, my ribs..." JOHNHOJ trudged over to David. "OKAY, YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH YET!?". "Yes, please just lay off, *cough*." "Alright then, now tell me where Jimmy Jam is!" JOHNHOJ demanded. "Look, I don't know where he is, but I do know who can tell you, *cough cough*. There's two men who work around Orland Park, it's a about 37-38 miles east from here." Answered David. "Good, now if I find out your lying, I'll find you, and give you more pain." "Ha, tough luck hero. Chances are, Jimmy will know about this soon. And believe me, when he finds out, you won't want to be you.". "Whatever punk, I'm not scared."
He was VERY scared, but nonetheless he head out to start the next part of his journey.
