Ch. 10 – Meet the Undead
What up! It's Nightmare! Back with Chapter 10 of Team BAWM. Things are getting spicy up in here, shout out to my people, The Burning Ruler and RebelKira! Homies doing it up real solid. Anyway, let's jump start this bitch. See ya in the Author's notes!
"You realize you are going to have to answer a lot of questions, right?" Carnel said, Crys nodded as she sobbed on his shoulder, Carnel rubbed her head lightly "It's alright, I'll make some calls and get this place fixed up." Carnel said, Crys tried to protest but Carnel stopped her "Would you rather these kids live in comfort and safety, or a fire hazard that was condemned." Carnel said as he pointed to the 'Condemned Building' sign on the wall.
Carnel dialed a number into his scroll and put it to his ear, the line rang a couple times before someone answered "Aye Slate, its Carnel. Listen, I got a favor I want to ask. There's this house in Vale that has these two children living in it, I want you to fix it up and make all the necessary repairs." Carnel said, Slate was quiet for a moment but he sighed "Alright, I'll come out that way." Slate said before Carnel closed the scroll.
"A man by the name of Slate will be out here to look at the house, in the meantime, I got somewhere I got to be. Yo Falcon!" Carnel said before he called his leader over, Falcon walked over to where Carnel and Crys were. "Take care of her and make sure she doesn't do anything too crazy, I got a meeting I need to attend." Carnel said as he stood up and walked out of the alley, he walked past a fire truck as a black Escalade pulled up.
Carnel opened the passenger door and got in as it drove away, Diam sat behind the wheel as Red, Bress, and Sall sat in the back seat as they drove down the road. Diam turned the volume up on the radio as they drove down the street.
Hood Go Crazy – Tech N9ne, 2 Chainz, B.o.B.
Saturday mornin', I ain't gotta work
Last night's show sold a lot of merch
Bad bitch in my bed so I ain't gotta jerk
Forbes List caught me so it's hard to make the dollar hurt
All we need is good green and some Bou Lou
Five to one so it's guaranteed you can do you
'Zilla keep the heater just in case we have a boo-boo.
Kansas City natives and we all a little coo-coo
This the type of shit to make the hood go crazy
On the interstate doin' 180
She said, "do it for me, baby"
Took a double shot and then we all went crazy
White girls go crazy
Black girls go crazy
College girls go crazy
This the type of shit to make the hood go crazy
Diam turned the volume down as they pulled in a strip of warehouses in the industrial district of Vale, multiple black H2 Hummers were parked out front and formed a line a makeshift driveway for the Escalade. Diam pulled in and threw it into park, Diam handed Carnel a black bandana and a black hat along with a hoodie and a pair of sunglasses "Keep you incognito." Diam said as Carnel pulled on the gear, he tied the bandana around his face and put the sunglasses on before the hat. He pulled the hood over his head before he got out of the Escalade.
The passengers in the Hummers got out and followed Carnel into the warehouse that was filled with people of different colors and species, the people looked at Carnel as he walked up on a platform at the front of the warehouse. "Right, so this was formally the Sanus Serpents, correct?" Carnel asked the crowd, the people murmured to each other. Carnel cleared his throat as the other Undead aimed the rifles at the crowd "When I ask a question, you answer. Understood?" Carnel asked, the crowd answered with a resounding 'yes'.
The Undead lowered their weapons as Carnel started to speak again "Right, so we're the Undead of Atlas and we're expanding our territory into Vale, our allies are Third Street and the Golden Lion. Firstly, where are Ray, Cedric, and Bones?" Carnel asked, three men stepped forward and looked up at Carnel "These men are my new Sergeants, if you have any problems, report to them and they'll contact my Lieutenants." Carnel said, the trio lit up and looked happy.
"Next, all production and Distribution of the following will stop immediately: Heroin, Meth, PCP, Crack, and Fentanyl, we're giving the buyer a good time not a dead time. If you make Molly, do not cut it with Fentanyl or I will pour it down your throat. Understood?!" Carnel asked, slightly ticked off. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Carnel regained his composure "Right, next on the agenda. We will start activities of the following: Arms Dealing and Trafficking, Dust smuggling which we'll steal from the White Fang, and Bounty Hunting. The last one doesn't sound bad, but it eliminates the competition." Carnel said, he cleared his throat and addressed the crowd again.
"Lastly, all sex crimes, Human or Faunus trafficking, and prostitution will stop immediately. If we find you doing any of the three, let's just say you'll have a closed casket funeral. Now, our two main rivals are the Vajo and The White Fang, we will hunt the Vajo down and absorb them into this Syndicate. Also, no selling to Huntsmen and Huntresses in training, if you value your life, you will honor that rule." Carnel said, everyone nodded in agreement as Carnel started to wrap the meeting up.
"Right, I'm Cerberus, this is Hades, Belphegor, Leviathan (Harlequin), Belial (Bress), and Azazel (Sall). These are six of my Lieutenants, Belial and Azazel will be in charge of this area when I'm not around. Report to them with anything that comes up. Dismissed!" Carnel said as he dismissed the meeting, the new members of the Undead cleared out and went out to sell on the street with the new rules in their head. Diam and Red stepped forward next to Carnel and watched as the new dealers got into Escalades, Tahoes, and Yukon Denalis, they slowly pulled out of the warehouse one by one.
"So, what are you thinking?" Diam asked, Carnel looked out across the now empty warehouse floor "I get the feeling that this is the beginning of something big." Carnel said, Red laughed "What? Like a drug empire?" Red asked, Carnel shook his head "No, a drug war. A war in the street where both sides are trading fire." Carnel said.
Carnel looked down at his three new Sergeants "Boys, I need you to show me the storage area." Carnel said, Bones led him over to a wall that had a giant tumbler lock door. He spun the bar and pulled the safe door open, he flipped the light on and revealed pallets of weed that were individually wrapped by the pound and separated by strain.
"Oh my! This is like a stoner's wonderland! Blue Dream, Banana Kush, Headband, Purple Kush, Sour Diesel, and even Granddaddy Purple." Carnel said as he picked up a pound and inhaled deeply, he exhaled a sigh of ecstasy. He snapped his fingers on his right hand and opened a rift, he grabbed three pounds of each and tossed them into the rift.
"Uh sir, is that wise?" Bone asked, Carnel chuckled "It's fine." Carnel said as he closed his rift. Carnel and Bones left the vault, he closed the heavy door and locked it behind them. "Yo, Diam! Drive me back to town?" Carnel asked, Diam spun the keyring on his index finger as he started to walk out of the warehouse, Carnel stopped in front of the three Sergeants "If you have any problems, contact one of us." Carnel said as he handed them his scroll number.
The black Escalade pulled up out front as Carnel walked out of the warehouse, he opened the door and climbed into the passenger seat with Red, Sall, and Bress in the backseat. The Escalade hauled ass down the street as two H2 Hummers followed behind, they arrived back in downtown Vale in no time. Carnel got out and patted the roof of the SUV, Diam sped off down the road as the two Hummers followed.
Carnel turned around to see a truck parked out the smoking remains of the orphan's house, Slate was getting out of the truck as Carnel walked up. "Slate! How the hell are you?" Carnel asked as he shook Slate's hand. "So, this is the house." Slate said as a burn fell from the roof and hit the ground next to his truck.
"So, how much work are we looking at?" Carnel asked, Slate scratched his head and looked at it closely, Carnel tapped him on the shoulder "I have people who can help you build in case you need to rebuild from the ground up." Carnel said, Slate wrote down a little bit on a page.
"Lucky for you, I got my semblance, Construction." Slate said as he cracked his knuckles, he held his hands out as the house seemed to break itself apart and destroy itself. A single concrete foundation remained where the house once stood, with a flick of his wrist, all the concrete and rebar that was in the trailer behind his truck flew out and started to assemble itself. Within minutes, the rebar had buried itself into the concrete slab and cinder blocks stacked up one after another after they were slathered with brick mortar.
The walls were built up in no time as the house slowly came together, inside the building, rooms were being made as well as two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a storage room. The front door attached itself to the wall as the hinges and screws were drilled into the concrete, Carnel shook his head and walked down the street toward a strip of cafes and stores.
Carnel walked into a furnishings store and walked up to the front counter "Hey, I need to buy a furnishings package, like beds, couches, appliances, etc." Carnel said, the clerk looked hesitant at first, but she warmed up to Carnel "Alright sir, what kind of package were you looking for?" The clerk asked as she placed a catalog on the counter, Carnel flipped through it and landed on a modern section "This dark modern style, how much?" He asked the clerk, the clerk typed in some numbers into a projection screen.
"That will be Seven thousand Lien." The clerk said, Carnel reached in his pocket and pulled out eight thousand "Have the delivery people furnish the house." Carnel said as he handed the cards to the woman before he left the building.
Carnel reached to scratch his face but realized he was still wearing the bandana, he sighed and removed it before he placed it in his pocket as he walked down the street. Carnel walked down the street until he felt his scroll go off, he pulled it out and read the message "Oh, it's from Crys. 'Where did you go? We're at Kirby's Cafe.' Oh cool." Carnel said after reading the message, he texted back immediately 'Well, I decided to go to a union meeting.' Carnel said through a message, Crys replied minutes later 'HaHaHa, just get here before we leave without you.' Crys said, Carnel quickly jogged down the street until he found restaurant called 'Kirby's Cafe.'
"So, you get everything squared away?" Falcon asked the street thug, he nodded and sat down at the table. The waitress came up and took everyone's order, after she left, Carnel turned to Crys "Alright Crys, Slate is working on the house and when its done, the interior will be furnished." Carnel said, Crys paused from taking a sip of her tea.
"What? How?" She asked, confused. Carnel leaned back in his chair "Let's just call it a favor for buying us lunch." Carnel said as a waitress sat a plate of Onion rings down on the table, he grabbed one and popped it in his mouth. After they enjoyed a delicacy of double bacon and cheese burgers, steaks, and craft sandwiches, they left Kirby's and walked back to the center of town.
"Check it out, mother fucker!" Slate said as he stood in front of a newly built concrete house, Carnel walked over and looked at the walls "The rebar is two feet deep in the foundation and it runs the entire length of the wall. Two stories, three bedroom, two bathrooms, as well as multiple other rooms. Better wiring, insulation, plumbing, ice dust lined walls, and a nice rustic brick design." Slate said as he gave them a run down.
Slate opened the door and led them inside, the rotten wood had been replaced with pressed cedar hardwood floor, the wall was lined with drywall and had a nice sky blue wallpaper, the kitchen had a white tile floor and a marble counter, the island in the middle doubled as a giant cutting board, the kitchen and living room has an open floor plan. As they looked around the room, there was a knock at the door "I got it." Ren said before he went to answer the door.
He opened the door and four men walked in carrying furnishings, a double door fridge, a L-shaped couch, two twin xl mattresses, a king-sized mattress, a mahogany coffee table, two love seats, and a couple lamps. The movers got two work quickly and furnished the house, in a matter of minutes, the once barren house now looked like a fully furnished, warm and inviting house. Crys was stunned silent "Carnel. I… I don't know what to say." Crys said as she was in awe.
Carnel pulled his scroll out and flipped through his contacts, he pressed call on a single name 'Red'. "Hey Red, how fast you think you can get to downtown Vale? Cool, see you when you get here." Carnel said as the movers left and closed the door. Two minutes later, there was a knock at the door "Pizza delivery." A man said from the other side of the door.
Carnel opened the door and welcomed the man in "Guys, this is Red. He's one of my most trusted associates. Red, this is Falcon, Alicia, Crys, Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha." Carnel said as he introduced everyone, Carnel patted Red on the back "Congrats bro, you got a place to live now." Carnel said, everyone looked at him shocked. "What?!" Everyone said, Carnel laughed "Yes, I think it would be wise to have someone here to watch these children to make sure nothing happens. Red is one of my finest associates, he is highly trained, can keep his cool, and has a bit of a 'Mr. Mom' side of him. He's so good with kids." Carnel said, teasing Red.
Red laughed "I got so good because I got two of my own." Red said, his statement shocked Carnel as well as the others. "I didn't see that coming." Carnel said. "If it'll make everyone feel more comfortable, I can have my girlfriend stay here instead." Red said, Red pulled out his scroll and called his girlfriend "Hey Catalina, when do you get off work? Oh, well when you get done, come by the house that was engulfed in fire earlier." Red said before he closed his scroll.
"So, she'll be here in a little bit, she just got off work and is finishing up timecard. So, she'll be here in about thirty minutes." Red said as he sat down on a mahogany stool. About twenty minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Red hopped up and answered the door, a girl with long blonde hair, blonde cat ears and cat tail. She was rather well endowed in the chest and she wore a black and red corset that had a lacy fringe that hung down around her waist and neared her black thigh high leather boots that had a six-inch heel spike in the back that clicked in the hardwood floor.
"Well hey y'all." Catalina said with a southern accent, Red wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in close. Carnel introduced everyone to the blonde girl "So, Catalina, we want you to live here. There are two children who live here as well, right now they're in the hospital, but when they get out they'll live here. So, I want you and Red to live here with them and protect them, basically I'm asking if you'll adopt them." Carnel said, Catalina looked at Red who had a big smile on his face.
"We'd be happy to, but what about our kids?" Catalina asked, Carnel smirked "Three bedrooms, two bathroom. Two beds per room and the master bedroom, I can get more beds for the other room." Carnel said, Catalina lit up "Aww babe, we got a full family now." Catalina said happily, Crys stepped forward and cleared her throat "Uh, if it's alright with you, Catalina. I'd like to adopt them whenever I get to point in my life, whether that is after graduation or sooner. I'd like to adopt them as my own." Crys said as she rubbed her arm.
Carnel looked at her confused "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Carnel asked, Crys looked at him straight in the eye "No, but hey I was practically raised on the streets. I turned out fine, right?" Crys asked, everyone looked at each other. Crys rolled her eyes "Screw you guys." Crys said laughing.
Catalina looked at Crys "Sweetheart, we'll raise them and keep them safe, but when you're ready, you can adopt them. I think we should ask them what they would rather do, alright sweetie?" Catalina asked Crys, Crys nodded. "Thank you, Catalina. Their names are Tim and Ally, Tim is seven and Ally is four." Crys said as she informed the new parents. Catalina and Red walked around the house, they stared in awe at the amazing carpentry work.
Red embraced Carnel in a bear hug and lifted him off the ground "Thank you, Carnel! This is so amazing!" Red exclaimed as he hugged Carnel. Carnel patted him on the back "Can't. Breath." Carnel said before Red let go of him. "Right, well! I think we should let these two get settled. Red, I'll be in touch." Carnel said before the three teams left the newly constructed house.
Slate loaded up his excess materials and started up his truck "Alright Carnel, I'll see you around." Slate said before he drove away. As they stood around in Downtown Vale, Ruby looked to her right and saw two detectives standing outside of a dust store, the team trio made their way over to the crime scene. Carnel lifted his hood up and put on his sunglasses as they neared the police officers, "What happened here?" Ruby asked, one of the detectives turned around and looked at the girl in red.
"Robbery, second one this week. What's strange is they didn't take any money." The detective said as he walked back over to his partner, Crys looked at Carnel who looked on edge "You alright?" She asked concerned for the dealer, he nodded "Yeah, I never liked the cops." Carnel said, they heard someone yelling in the distance as the turned around. A man with blonde hair and a white unbuttoned shirt leaped off a crane and ran around the corner "Hey, stop that Faunus!" A man yelled from onboard a cargo ship, Carnel grew a smirk across his face before he took off down the street after the Faunus.
Carnel leaped over the hood of a sedan and slid down the rail of a staircase, the Faunus ran around a corner as Carnel was hot on his trail, but Carnel bolted past him. Carnel spun around and snapped the fingers on his left hand, the rift opened in front of the Faunus as he failed to stop and disappeared into the rift that closed behind him.
Carnel walked back to the group with a shit eating grin "Well, I caught him." Carnel said, everyone but Falcon was confused, Falcon had a look of excitement on his face as Carnel snapped the fingers on his left hand again and reached into the portal. He pulled the Faunus from the portal and dropped him to the ground.
The blonde man collapsed to the ground and gasped for air "What the hell man?!" The Faunus yelled, Carnel knelt down beside him "Right now, I'm the only one who can save you from the law. Go along with what I say." Carnel whispered into his ear, the sailor walked up to Carnel "Oh you caught the stowaway." The sailor said, Carnel moved in front of him "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Carnel said as he lifted his shirt to show the handle of his 1911.
"Just walk away." Carnel said, the sailor was hesitant at first, but eventually walked away. Carnel helped the man to his feet and brushed him off, everyone stared in shock "Uh, what was that?" Ruby asked, Carnel paused for a moment. "I call it 'Lock-Up', it's like a mobile prison. I have four people in there. As for why he was struggling to breath, it simulates not being able to breath, but they plenty of oxygen." Carnel said as he snapped his fingers on his left hand and pulled out a man in shackles.
The man struggled to breath "Oh merciful gods!" The man said before Carnel pushed him back into the portal, everyone looked shocked "Oh him? Pedophile. Believe me that is torture enough." Carnel said as he closed the portal. The group left the crime scene with the new Faunus in tow, they caught a Bullhead back to Beacon and the three teams went their separate ways.
They walked back into the dorm room and Alicia closed the door behind them "Crys, Falcon and I have questions. Carnel too, if he wants." Alicia said, Carnel sat against the wall in his bed and pulled out his pistol to clean it. "How long have you been taking care of those kids on your own?" Falcon asked as he sat on his bed.
Crys twirled her hair nervously "Since the very first day. I ran into Tim while getting some snacks for the airship to Beacon. He was trying to steal from the stand I was at and I ran after him. I felt bad for him because he lost his parents and had to take care of his sister on his own. He was so worried about being separated from his sister. I decided that I would take care of them on my own so that they wouldn't get separated." Crys said as she explained her circumstance, Falcon nodded as Alicia thought of something to ask.
"Did you plan on telling anyone else?" Alicia asked, Crys fumbled with her hands slowly "Well I did tell Carnel. I planned on telling someone else eventually. I just wanted to figure out how I wanted to handle the situation first. I was worried someone would try taking them away and putting them in a place where they had a chance to be taken from each other. So, I thought if I kept it quiet and kept them hidden it would give me time to think of a plan." Crys said as she paced back and forth in the dorm room, Carnel tossed a defective bullet into a trashcan that made a clang sound, everyone turned to look at him which caused him to freeze in place "Sorry." Carnel said quietly as he slowly cleaned the barrel.
"Why did you tell Carnel but not the rest of your team?" Falcon asked, Crys sat down on her bed and looked up at the room "I didn't intend on telling Carnel. One night when I went out to drop some food off for them. I ran into him in town. We essentially promised we wouldn't tell anyone." Crys said as she scratched the back of her head.
"Is there anything else your hiding from us?" Falcon asked, Crys closed her eyes and lowered her head as she exhaled slowly. ""Well you've all told me your past. That's about the only thing I've hidden from you. When I was five years old someone attacked my home. My mom had me hide in the closet until she came to get me. I heard multiple screams and gunshots. When everything went silent I thought she'd get me soon. I don't know how long I waited in silence, but it felt like an eternity. Eventually a woman's voice rang out in my house. She opened the door and found me. I didn't know who she was, but she told me that my parents were dead outside. She picked me up and took me from my house. When we walked outside I saw my parents lying motionless on the ground in a pool of their own blood. From then on, she took me into her family and they raised me." Crys said, the room went dead silent.
"Damn, no further questions." Alicia said as she laid down in her bed, Crys laid back in her own bed and fished out one of her manga books, and Falcon pulled out his own book and flipped back to the page he was on. Carnel couldn't shake the feeling he was being watched, he looked over and saw Alicia look back at her scroll quickly.
*Several Hours Later*
He put the slide back on and cocked the pistol before he put it under his pillow, Carnel snapped his fingers on his right hand and pulled out his kit before he walked outside toward his usual smoke spot. He sat down and opened the case, he pulled out a white grape cigar and split it with a razor blade, he emptied the tobacco onto the ground next to him. He packed the cigar wrapper with ground up Blue Dream and wrapped it tight before he fished for his lighter. "Shit!" Carnel said as he felt for his lighter.
"Need a light?" A female voice asked, Carnel turned around to see Alicia standing behind him with a flame burning out of her hand. She walked over and sat down next to him, she used the flame to light the blunt. He took a long drag from the blunt, he pulled it from his mouth and exhaled slowly. She took the blunt from him and took her own drag, she exhaled slowly and started to giggle a little bit.
"What you did today was a great thing." Alicia said as she passed the blunt to Carnel, he took a double hit and passed it back to Alicia. "Eh, it wasn't nothing much. Slate owed me a favor." Carnel said as he stared at the glowing city of Vale, Carnel started to laugh lightly as his body feel lighter.
"So, I didn't know you smoked." Carnel said as he took the blunt from Alicia, she giggled "Yeah, I smoke sometimes." Alicia said as she held up her own lighter while she stuck her tongue out and had one eye closed. He shook his head as he took another drag and passed it back to her. Alicia shivered when a cold breeze blew across campus, she moved closer to Carnel to warm up "You produce flames, you think I'm going to fall for that?" Carnel asked, Alicia rolled her eyes "I don't know what you're talking about." Alicia said in protest.
Alicia and Carnel stared off into the night sky, Carnel turned around to stretch his back but he was met by Alicia's lips on his. Carnel was shocked by her actions as she held his hand in hers, she pulled away and exhaled a cloud of smoke. He looked at the water below them as they sat in silence "Listen Alicia, you're a sweet girl and insanely hot, but I don't think you want to get mixed up with me, good things do not follow me." Carnel said as he fumbled with his hands, Alicia shook her head "I don't care about that, I fell for you the moment I saw you." Alicia said as she turned her body toward Carnel.
"I think you should know about my past since you want to dive into this pool." Carnel said as he started to roll another blunt of Banana Kush this time, he licked the edge and packed it tight before Alicia lit it with a flame that came out of her index finger.
"Right, so it all started thirteen years ago." Carnel said as started to tell her the story he told Falcon.
*Two Hours Later*
"So that's how I got into this life. Are you still interested?" Carnel asked as he flicked the roach into the water below, he looked over and saw Alicia staring at him intently "You've been through so much and yet you show this part of you that wants to protect your friends and you want to keep people safe. You wear your heart on your sleeve, even if you don't think so." Alicia said as she kissed him on the lips again.
"Huh, looks like I found myself a ride or die chick." Carnel said as he wrapped his arm around Alicia's waist. "It looks like you found my foot up your ass!" A male voice said behind them, Carnel turned around to see Falcon standing behind them and he looked furious.
"Oh, hey Falcon. How much did you see?" Carnel asked, Falcon glared at him "I saw you putting moves on my sister." Falcon said as he withdrew his revolver and cocked the hammer back. Carnel closed his eyes "Ghost, stand down." Carnel said before a masked man materialized next to Falcon with a sword to his neck, he pulled the sword away and sheathed it before he dematerialized again. Carnel stood up and tried to deescalate the situation "Falcon, you got the wrong idea." Carnel said as held up his hands in surrender, Falcon scoffed "Yeah, that I could ever trust you." Falcon said before he kicked Carnel off the edge of Beacon.
"Carnel!" Alicia yelled as she tried to grab his hand but missed, she used her semblance to create a water bed that Carnel landed on as she slowly raised him back up to the surface of Beacon. "What the hell, Falcon?!" Alicia yelled as she grabbed Carnel's arm and held it tightly, Falcon shook his head "Alicia, get away from him. He's not who he says he is." Falcon said in an angry tone of voice.
Alicia shook her head "He told me about his past, the same one he told you." Alicia said, Falcon gritted his teeth in anger as he stared at Carnel. Carnel walked up to Falcon to try and calm him down, but Falcon clocked him in the nose with the handle of his revolver. Carnel held his nose in pain before Alicia tried to comfort him "I'm alright, thank you for your concern." Carnel said as he stood back up. He held his right hand and made a fist before he extended his fingers and laid them horizontally "What the hell was that?" Falcon asked annoyed, Carnel smirked "I was just telling my sniper to stand down." Carnel said, Falcon grimaced "You're lying, see Alicia, he's a liar, too." Falcon said to his sister.
Carnel held up four fingers on his right hand and lowered the middle finger as Falcon turned around, suddenly a green laser shown down from on top the Beacon tower. The laser dot rested perfectly between Falcon's eyes as Carnel walked up next to him "That's Redeye, she is always shadowing me no matter where I go. Just like Ghost does." Carnel said as he made a fist and extended his fingers horizontally.
Falcon growled in anger "Fine, we'll settle this in the arena. You and Me, Carnel. If I win, you don't talk to my sister and you leave the team!" Falcon yelled before he walked away as Alicia tried to stop him "Falcon! Just listen to us, you've got the wrong idea!" Alicia yelled as Falcon disappeared into one of the buildings.
She walked back up to Carnel and wrapped her arms around his torso "I'm so sorry that this happened, I wish he wasn't the way he is." Alicia said as he started to tear up, Carnel wiped away the tears from her eyes with his thumb "He's just being a protective older brother." Carnel said as he stared off into the darkness 'I just hope that this doesn't get out of hand.' Carnel thought to himself as he rubbed Alicia's back as she cried into his chest.
