Finally slowing down while the moon followed your decision and was set on the horizon,
going down and wouldn't been seen for another few hours, maybe it would feel like days out here with nothing to do, you could slowly feel your body aching from being shot in the right shoulder.
It stung with a horrid pain that made you want to vomit, that also added onto to the random rush of tiredness that you suddenly felt as the moon shadowed itself in the darkness slowly hiding, no longer a bright white that makes you feel like a wolf in the wild.
Blind Mag your celebrity crush clung to Graverobber the older man who seemed to get you into all sorts of trouble lately,
first with going outside and showing you some weird underground area where bodies were being dumped to only tell you about Zydrate and almost get you killed.
He did help you not too long ago to escape with Mag out of GeneCo's hands for the moment until guards shot at you ...
it was a long story really, it was amazing that it was done under a few hours but not too surprising that the night was already leaving you.
The three of you entered a city like a shadow entered the daytime, with no warning, but it was like the city accepted anything mysterious, anything possibly dangerous, anything unknown as you felt completely and already connected to the blazing lights of a night owl town.
The night owl awakens realizing it is morning as the sun slowly creeps up making the sky a beautiful pink and orange mix,
it shows the town for what it really is, a broken, old, tattered place with tattered people and a tattered but lively attitude.
The night owl becomes one with the day as the once Old Vegas like city dies away and accepts the norms of society.
Graverobber mentions with a wave of hand to a gas station with a garage, it almost makes you wonder if some hidden illegal machine is behind there but the graffiti almost convinced you other wise.
Dismounting your bike you stretched your legs before entering the store.
A small bell jingles to let the owner or current staff member know that someone has walked in, you start to wonder if anyone even lives in this town as the floors seem dirty and uncleaned for ages, not a single bug but they seemed to be covered in a dark goo.
The shelves on the other hand are covered top to bottom with seemingly brand new items as if they just stocked up.
"Just stocked up dear, don't worry about the floor...I saw you checking that out, sometimes when you have staff who can't clean up the floor stays dirty and then even when you do clean up..it stays dirty."
A middle aged tall black man came out from behind a door that read "Staff only" he grabbed a clean towel, sprayed it with possibly just water or maybe even a disinfectant and started to clean the area near the cash register, it seemed all too book like for you.
He was a handsome man though, his hair was in braids, tattoos just covered every inch of his body, surely every small inch had some sort of importance to him, some sort of deeper meaning,
he seemed like the man to almost be at complete peace with the world, the type of guys that preach about becoming one with earth.
His eyes on the other hand were wild, contacts of course, but his left was a bright green while his right was a dark red both standing out compared to his dull Staff clothes which consisted of a gray t-shirt, dark blue pants, a dirty but tan apron with the store's name on it.
His shoes though...shared the same wild side as his eyes although he seemed to be avoiding at all cost to show them.
They were bright yellow, orange and green a horrid mixture but you were completely sure that in some underground club, late at night with the signs the same mixtures of bright colors to attract you, the music blaring and all of that "jazz" he would fit right in.
But in broad daylight he did anything but fit in, in fact he was completely odd compared to you and your "team" if that is what you could be called, all dressed in darker colors, he would even stand out back home.
"So...are you looking for anything in particular?" he smiled straight at you, his eyes bore into yours, as if he was looking for some sort of answer from you and only you
but Graverobber answered instead "yes...we are here for DG" immediately the black man with no name so far stared at your companion.
His eyes glistened "Graverobber! Nice to see you again man! How are you? You here for DG? He's upstairs, these two with you? Come on up" He spoke quickly almost as if not wanting to allow Graverobber to speak another word
..ever.
He opened the 'Staff Only' door for us as we slipped through, behind it was a large room with about a dozen computers running in some sort of unison although each screen held different information,
although the man tried his best to get you through as quickly as possible you could still catch some words on the screen.
They were running some sort of underground business with someone, or not just someone but many other people, people who were paying big bucks for what they had to offer, what ever that was, and those people seem to be in some sort of bet and high status to this group for some people were typing away crazily at their keyboards to keep everything together while completely ignoring your existence.
The still unnamed man opened another door which lead to a small room with a t.v. in it, a bathroom on your left, a kitchen near the bathroom but behind the room, and then stairs to your right surely leading to the upstairs part of the store.
Mag doesn't seem like the talking type so sorry if she doesn't say much throughout the series, she seems like she wouldn't talk unless spoken to or if she felt like she needed to speak up. Also so far her and Shilo won't have any place talking until another chapter or two. For a recap of the story, Shilo was dragged away to be cured by Rotti, she has the chat with her father in the tent, she almost passes out until Mag comes in and helps her relax, Graverobber helps her and Mag escape the area. From there they go into the alleyway to get mixed up with Amber until a bunch of guards come around and they once again have to escape Rotti's grasp, there they run to the bridge, Rotti still being after them, finally noticing that not only is Mag gone but so is Shilo, he sends out guards who start shooting at the trio who then run into a tunnel to end up on the other side of the bridge. The town now looking like a small dot from afar Mag and Graverobber change in an abandoned store, and the three find motorbikes, only thing is that Shilo rides her own and the adults chase after her on one bike (I had an idea that Mag wouldn't be able to drive a bike at this moment with high heels and if anything doesn't even know how to ride one, she is a badass chick yes but I don't think after being in Rotti's grasp for so long would know such things). Now here they are.
Now back to this chapter, Shilo and Mag meets some of Graverobbers out of town friends...what new adventure will they come across now? Who knows, keep up with the story and you might just find out!
