The phone was ringing.

Dee ignored it, opting to crack open another beer. It was probably Ryo or (God, even worse) J.J. He wasn't in ithe mood for talking, really.

He had killed a man today.

A boy, really, barely older than Carol. He was on a psychotic high - crack - and had pulled a gun on Ryo.

Two eternal gunshots later and he was down, dark red blood pooling around the child face down on the pavement.

The phone fell silent and Dee downed his beer, reaching for another when the alcohol didn't numb him enough.

The phone started ringing again.
