Kai sighed in relief as his shift was finally over and he could go home. The extra money Morro had given him really pleased Chen and Kai was given a bonus for his work. He hadn't seen much of Skylor that night, guessing she was probably entertaining a lot of clients. He didn't want to wait until she was finished, wanting to get home as soon as possible. So he quickly got dressed and started the trek back to his apartment. Now that he had a few moments to himself, all alone with his own thoughts, Kai felt like crying.

His life was such a mess, and there was not anyone he could talk to about it.

There was no one he could vent to. Nya was in the dark, and he didn't exactly have any friends, other than Skylor. She was the only one who knew what he was going through thanks to this job. Unfortunately, he only ever saw Skylor at the strip club, making sure to keep his work life and home life as far apart as possible. He couldn't speak to her about this at the club, however. The last time he had vented to her, another club worker had overheard.

They had gone straight to Chen in hopes of getting a raise for informing him about one of his staff being ungrateful.

The boss made Kai's life a living hell for the rest of the week after that. Until Kai had collected enough money to make Chen happy enough to forget about it. That was enough to convince Kai never to complain about work again. Just as he stepped out of the club and into the back alley, Kai suddenly got a sinking feeling in his stomach. The sound of running footsteps approaching him fast filled the alley. Kai's eyes widened when he realized this.

But before he could react Kai was suddenly grabbed from behind and shoved up against a cold, wet stone wall.

During the struggle, Kai dropped his bag that contained his taser and pepper spray. He gritted his teeth and tried to struggle, but whoever had grabbed him had an insanely tight grip, leaving the brunette defenseless. Kai froze when he felt hot breath on the back of his neck, the smell of alcohol clear on the man's breath.

"Hey, there beautiful." The man slurred, very clearly drunk, as he ran his free hand over Kai's clothed chest, causing the brunette to growl and struggle harder.

"Get the fuck off me!" He snarled, but the man glared and tightened his grip, causing Kai to let out a small cry of pain.

"Not a chance slut, ya owe me a taste of that sexy ass and yer boyfriend ain't here ta save ya this time." He smirked and forced Kai to kiss him, nearly making Kai throw up. This man must have been part of the group Morro had scared off. The man started trying to remove Kai's pants while trying to force his way into the brunette's mouth. He moved his tongue over Kai's tightly clenched teeth, trying to enter by force. But the brunette refused to open his mouth in the slightest.

Kai tried to scream for help but it was muffled.

There was no one around to help him anyway. Kai could feel his eyes tearing up as he realized he was about to be raped by some random drunk in a dirty alley behind a strip club. In a way, he was sort of asking for something like this to happen to him. The man smirked as he finally got hold of the hem of Kai's pants and started pulling them down, loving the sound of Kai's muffled protests. Just as he started pulling the brunette's pants down, however, the man suddenly felt someone pinch the back of his sweaty neck.

The man gasped in shock as he felt all his muscles suddenly freeze up like ice and he fell to the floor, unconscious.

Kai pulled his pants back up and snuck to his knees in shock. He then coughed and gagged as he tried to get the horrible burning taste of his attacker off his tongue. It was then he realized he still wasn't alone. Kai slowly looked up and saw a tall, very pale man who was staring down at him. This was the strange man who had just saved him from that disgusting pervert. Kai examined him very closely. The tall man had platinum blonde, almost snowy white, hair that stood up straight in something like a crew cut and bright icy blue eyes that felt like they could freeze his soul.

He wore a sharp, smart, light cyan blue jacket with a white button-up shirt and white pants

Kai admitted he looked attractive but he chose to ignore that. Even though he had clearly tried to hide it, it was so obvious this man was a cop, Kai almost found it funny. He may as well have been wearing a bright, flashing neon sign advertising it. Police weren't welcome around here, well, unless they were dirty cops who were up to no good. Most of them came to the strip club to try and relieve their stress from the job. Regardless, Chen had made it clear to all his staff at the club that if he caught one whisper of any of them talking to a cop who he didn't know, losing their jobs at the club would be the least of their worries.

The pale cop offered his hand out to the brunette, not showing any expression on his face.

But, the young stripper knew no one did anything for free, no matter the circumstances. If he did accept the cop's help Kai knew he would want something in return for saving Kai. The brunette had been working in the sex business long enough to know what men really wanted from him. Why else would this police officer help a filthy prostitute like him? Luckily he wasn't working and he wasn't in the strip club so Chen couldn't punish him for turning down a potential customer.

Kai simply glared at the hand before slapping it away and shakily getting to his feet and running away without a second glance or even a thank you...
