He had left me alone in a place that felt cold and empty. I was so pissed at him I couldn't even talk or anything. But I did know something I could do.

I ran downstairs and went out a side door. That's when I saw that dark power just sitting there begging me to pluck it. He was asking for it. He left the ignition unlocked. Any simple Joe could have stolen it. I almost felt bad about taking it for a moment. Only a moment, simply because it was so easy.

I soon was roaring through the streets on that steel horse. I figured I shouldn't be out long. Just take it back to the club. I was sleeping above there. I don't like to say staying because it makes it sound like I want to stick around for a while. That's not me. I stay until I feel like my welcome is well worn and then go out seeking a new one. If I don't get too close, I won't get that hurt.

I swung my leg over the side of it and kicked up the stand. Slowly I backed it up while I lit a cigarette and blew the smoke back over my head. When I finally got out into the street, I hit the sweet switch that set the v-block roaring.

" Hell yes. Macha, you deserve this bike," I said, not really giving a damn if anyone heard me. After taking the last drag and flicking the smoke away, I turned it straight and rode to the Hole.

Once there, I parked it in the alley to the side of the club. India just happened to be taking out the trash when I pulled up.

" Hey, isn't that Draven's bike?" She asked me

" Maybe. What's it worth?" I asked

" Well, nothing to me, but he's going to be pissed at you" She said as she walked back inside.

That's what I was hoping for. I get him mad, and then maybe he'll come looking for me.

It didn't take him long to come. I was up on the roof feeling the hot late summer air in my face. I would probably rain soon. I saw him walking into the door and heard him start up the stairs. I swung back into my room just as he turned the knob.

" Well, Eric Draven. What a pleasant surprise." I said with a smirk.

" I want my bike." He said, none to happy with me.

" It's yours to take. She rides like a dream, I have to tell you that." I said.

" Where did you learn to ride like that?" He inquired of me

" Well, I've been around. I see, I ask, I learn. Its as simple as that" I answered

He just looked at me and smiled. He was too cute. He cocked his head and looked liked he had gotten an idea in his head.

"What?" I said.

" I think that maybe that I know of someone that can help find out what you are," he said, taking my hand.
