I apologize, for this chapter is only around 700 words or so long. I have found that if I take i easy with these chapters and do each one a moderate length then they are much easier to do. Again, characters and settings belong to Naughty Dog. Also, this story has not been beta'd in any way. If anyone is interested, just say something. All i'm trying to say is that if there are mistakes, you may kindly point them out.

Chapter Two: Seeing Neon Lights
OOooOOooOO
It was then that Erol found himself at his house, putting just enough into a suitcase to stay a week at Kras City.
Being who he was, he didn't intend to take very much. Clothes of course. He didn't want to wear his mask the entire time, so he shoved it into the suitcase along with the clothes. Then he turned around, pondering what else he should bring. Erol's apartment was a good size, but it wasn't huge. In other words, it was bigger than alot of the normal KG members had, but it still wasn't fantastic. Erol snorted at the thought. With all the crap he had to put up with from the Baron, this apartment should have been alot bigger.
At least the place was furnished nice, unlike alot of places in Haven where you would end up with peeling and cracking walls.
Walking into the bathroom, he looked around for anything else he should bring with him. A toothbrush. Erol liked his hygine. And baring your teeth was all the more menacing when they weren't totally gross and falling out of your head. Not much else he figured he should bring though. A single thing of shampoo and a bit of hair gel he had kept for a while now. Hey, it wouldn't hurt anything. Throwing all of that in the suitcase, he zipped it up.
So, he was going to Kras City tomorrow. Erol chuckled. This had better turn out to be worth his time.
OOooOOooOO
The next evening, at around nine o'clock, Erol was throwing his bags onto a hotel bed. Behind him, he could hear some other KG discussing things. "So, you going to go out tonight?" One KG member asked another. "No, i'm staying here. It's my plan to get at least one really good night of sleep before I go out get smashed tomorrow." The other replied.
"Comander, what about you?" One of them asked Erol. The KG comander turned, with a thin eyebrow raised. "Oh? I thought it would be obvious. I'm not a pussy footed soldier, i'm about to go see the sights. Why wait untill morning?" He told them, shrugging his shoulders with a smirk worthy of the devil himself playing upon his lips. After, he noticed a group of the KG members leave.
What he had told the others was true. He wasn't about to stay around here in some poor hotel room. Even though since Erol was commander he did get his own room, it was still musky and Erol wasn't sure he really liked that.
After all, he would rather be somewhere with fresh air. And while he was at it he might as well stalk some prey.
With that thought in mind, he stripped off his armor, leaving himself in his jumpsuit and ran a hand through his hair. Presentable enough, he supposed before turning on his heel and heading out the door.
OOooOOooOO
Kras was a beautiful place. The main attraction that drew everyone here was obviously the racing, but the city itself was rather intriguing. Neon lit up nearly every sign to be seen on the streets making the city almost glow.
It was then that Erol decided that for the rest of his life when ever he saw something neon he would be reminded of Kras City.
But alas, everyone knows that appearences are not everything. Most of those concerned in the racing themselves knew of the dark underbelly of Kras. All crime in the city stemmed from the infamous crime lord, Mizo. Where there was often a crime, a mishap such as an accident on the track of a race, or even the smallest dark discussion in a bar, Mizo was almost always involved.
Little did Erol know that he himself was about to get sucked into the crime of Kras.
OOooOOooOO
Hope you enjoyed, even though this chapter was a bit of an 'inbetween the action' chapter! Please review and all of that other good stuff! As for the next chapter, Erol is about to meet both Razer and Mizo~! :) So the next chapter should have a lot of action unlike this one.
