Oh the joy of Chapter 3. I know it's very emo but deal with me, it'll get better.
And now for the torment of souls, I present:

Duo awoke as the car door flew open to reveal a very angry, very tall man. Before he could say anything he was dragged out of the car by his hair, and had a knife to his gut.
"It's too early for this bullshit." He mumbled.
"Where is Mako?" The man asked forcefully. "And who are you?"
"I don't know, and Duo." He retorted with a very smart-ass smirk.
"What did you do with her, you douche!" He pulled back hard on Duo's hair and pushed the knife closer.
"Villhelm!" The man, startled by the female voice, lost his composure, giving duo the perfect opportunity. In less than a second Duo had the man on his knees and the knife to his throat. Duo looked up to see a tattered Mako, hands on hips and foot tapping furiously. "Villhelm, I am in no mood to deal with this!" She spat. "Duo give me the knife." Duo looked down at the mans goofy, scared expression and determined that he wasn't a threat to him. He stepped away from the man and over to Mako, placing the hilt of the knife in her open palm. "Thank you. Duo this is Will, Will, Duo. Boys, make nice I have to change." She got into the car and threw the knife in the glove-box, then dug around for something to wear.
"Sorry 'bout that, man. I didn't know you were her friend." Will said, brushing the dirt off his knees.
"Maybe if you'd have asked you would know." Duo grumbled, still angry about his rude awakening. "What the hell are you doing beating people up at three in the morning?" Duo crossed his arms and leaned against the trunk of the car.
"Like I said, sorry. I'm an old friend of Mako's and I like to stop by to make sure she's still alive." He looked over to Mako who was shuffling around in the front seat. "Excuse me a sec." He walked up, opened the car door and smacked Mako's arm. "What have I told you about that shit?!" He fumed, grabbing the mirror from her. Duo could see the trouble coming as Mako's precious white powder drifted off in the early morning air.
"Will, you fucking asshole! You'd better have some serious cash on you, because you're paying for every cent of that!" She screamed as she shoved him back against the brick wall.
"I will not give you money for that shit! I am not going to sit back and let you snort cocaine!" He paused for a moment to calm himself down. "What ever happened to: 'Will, I don't want to be a coke head anymore, help me get off this shit?'"
"That was before you left me alone for a year! I got scared and depressed and you were no where to be found! So give me the God damned money and stay the fuck away from me!" She growled through clenched teeth.
He glared at her, his nostrils flaring with every heavy breath. "No." Then he threw her mirror to the ground, the fragile glass shattering in all directions. "I'll be back later." And with that he stormed off.
Duo slowly approached Mako's stiff form. As he reached out to touch her shoulder she threw her fist into the wall, right where Will's face had been. "Fuck!" She screamed sinking down to the ground with her arms wrapped around herself. She shook slightly as she tried to keep her balance on four inch stilettos.
"Mako, are you okay?" He laid his hands on her shoulders and she jerked away from him. She stood and faced him, a steady stream of tears staining her face.
"I'm sorry you had to see that. I don't want to drag you into anything." She wiped her face with her palms and walked to the car. After pulling off her over shirt and grabbing her faux fur jacket, she pulled out the gun. "Play again?" She didn't wait for a response, just lifted the gun to her head.
"You have to spin it first." He reminded her as she cocked the hammer. She paused and brought the gun down, un-cocked it, spun the chamber and raised it again. Click. A low growl escaped her lips and she looked as though she wanted to throw it at something, but she simply closed her eyes and held the gun out to him.
He cautiously removed it from her hand, then spun the chamber and smiled. Click.
"I'll be back in a minute." She said softly, buttoning her jacket. He nodded and with that she took her leave, stumbling through the alleyway and down the empty street. Duo climbed into the car, put the gun in its place, and waited.
He awoke when the car door opened, this time revealing someone he recognized, Mako. She threw her heels into the back and began changing her clothes. There was just enough light to see her bloodshot eyes and raw nose. Without a word she climbed into the front seat and got situated. She let out a long sigh and curled into a ball, pulling the blanket over her head, just as the sun broke the horizon.
