The next morning the trio had wandered the streets of the Lower Ninth Ward for hours and still hadn't found any leads. They began to get looks from people that they had past multiple times.

"Don't you think we should go?" Nico asked.

"No, we keep going."

"But...we've been down this street at least five times already."

"Nico's right, Will. We should rest or get something to eat. What if we run into a deadly monster, I won't be able to kill it 'cause I'm tired." The Coach grinned.

"Yeah...you're right." Will halted, "can you hear that?"

"I can hear the sound of monsters not being killed."

"No, I'm serious! It's like...a really annoying-." He turned and pointed, "There!"

A small dark girl with pigtails skipped across the street towards them. She wore a plane blue dress. She was humming.

She stopped humming, "I wouldn't go any further if I were you."

Will took one glance at the girl then said, "you're annoying. Go away!"

"I think you should listen to me." She batted her long curled eyelashes, "you will perish if you go any further."

Will ducked down to the girls level and grabbed the top of her dress in a fist.

"Listen we don't care for your childish lies. There is no truth behind your words." He growled.

The girl smirked and pointed to Nico, "so on his head be it. He will be seriously hurt and it will be by your hand."

Will raised his fist but realised that he was holding onto a small child.

"Cassy! Leave those people alone!" The girls' mother called.

The girl stuck out her tongue and skipped away.

They continued to walk until they found a small Starbucks. Inside was warm and cosy. Will sat with Nico in a booth while the Coach ordered. Nico sat by the window, he looked outside. Will in a poised manner. His leg bounced up and down so rapidly that the table shook. Nico turned to Will and saw him twitching and fidgeting. He placed his hand on Wills.

"Will, you're making the table shake." Nico whispered.

"Hum?" Will unlocked his fingers and looked at his leg, "Oh, sorry."

"Is everything okay?"

Wills voice wavered, "Yeah, everything is fine."

Nico looked down and his eyes widened, "Will...what's that?"

Will looked down and returned Nicos shocked look, "Its my jeans! I swear on my life, its my jeans! Look."

Will stood up and fixed up his jeans so they didn't bulge. Nico was staring intensely at Wills crotch, when he realised he cast his eyes away. Will slid back into the booth and they both laughed. The Coach came back and sat down.

"Did I miss anything?" He asked.

The boys looked at each other and laughed again. By the time they had composed themselves their food arrived.

The Coach laughed to himself when the food that he ordered arrived.

"Three drinks will be ready soon." The waiter said.

They ate their cupcakes and then got their drinks when they were called. After they had finished they sat in silence.

Will wracked his brain for a moment trying to remember the signs of blindness. He grit his teeth out of anger. Then after a while he remembered and his anger left him.

"Nico, are my eyes cloudy?" Will asked quietly.

"What?"

"Just look at me eyes."

"There is nothing wrong with them. Will is everything okay?"

Will nodded and turned away from him, "everything is fine. I'm probably just tired."

Will gently placed his hand on Nico's leg. He knew if he let go of him he would become lost in the darkness that had claimed him.
