Take the Fight out of the Kid
Chapter Fourteen
'Can't take the Kid from the Fight, Take the Fight from the Kid'- Panic! At the Disco
Before I know it my back is wrapped and beginning to heal, Luxord and Riku have hidden Xemnas' body and I'm getting into my tuxedo. Xemnas was lifted and hidden over my bed so he's above the canopy. Riku has taken Sora back downstairs and their getting in a dance or two before Riku has to 'go check on his mother' something he wont actually do, but he'll go get Roxas. And I'll offer to bring Sora with me as I 'go to pick up Namine' since she's expecting me to drive to get her.
"Axel… are you sure your alright?"
"Of course I'm alright. My back still stings a bit, but nothing too bad." I'm fixing my bow in the mirror. My hair is tied down in a ponytail at the nape of my neck and I'm checking that the brightly colored lapels are correctly spaced. The earring with the tracker and sedative is just sitting in my ear and I can easily take it out, getting Sora's earring out is what's going to be hard- though I can afford to have him pass out because of the drug- but I cant.
"Axel, I mean emotionally. You did just kill a man. And I don't think you're-"
"Luxord, drop it will you? I'm fine. It's not like he's the first and he might not even be the last." I finally look presentable with a bit of bright violet eyeliner on and my eyes looking no more of less normal then they usually do to me. Of course I'm not completely fine, I'm freaking out and I cant help but think that something bad is going to happen with my plan. I've checked and rechecked everything though and it should be fine.
"Do me a favor and cover for me for a minute or two while I go down and prep Lumier and Cerberus." Luxord knows he's going to follow me and Sora out in his car with both of them in his car, then once we get to Namine's place we're going to pile everyone into my car and drive off, leaving all the trackers behind. But I have to take Lumier and Cerberus' trackers out here because their not allowed to leave so Luxord will have to smuggle them out.
"Fine, I'll meet you down in the main room of the house." the bottom floor was a really open place, lots of space for things like dinner parties and overall 'come fuck my kickers' parties that Xemnas often held. Luxord leaves my room and I let out a bit of a sigh as I walk over to the night stand and open the drawer with the few things I still own from my old lives.
I take the two pictures and the fairly small stuffed cat and put them into a drawstring bag I've trained Cerberus to not drop. Stitch- the black cat stuffed animal -is the first thing I was ever given by my parents, and though he's worn out and old, I don't think leaving him is an option.
I close up the drawstring bag and let out a sigh while I move towards my door. Wolves and Leeches are crawling all over the place tonight and this really isn't ideal in the least, but if I have anything it's confidence that I can still get Sora and I out of here- at least. "Axel! Hey, where are you going?" a hand is clapped on my shoulder and my eyes go wide when I once again see Danny standing behind me, smiling like he'd just won the lottery.
"The usual, going to give the dogs out back a treat for the night. You know how it is… keep them happy and all." Danny nods his head and I grind my teeth together. I'm surprised I still have teeth left to grind as I walk. If he clings to me then I'm fucked, as in up shit creek without a paddle and heading towards a water fall kind of fucked.
As soon as I drop the bag off in front of Cerberus he bites the string and lays down, allowing me to reach under his collar and pull out the tracker and toss it into the back of the dog house. I motion for Lumier to come over and he does, allowing me to pull his tracker out of the collar pouch. I press quick kisses to their heads and fluff Cerberus' fur, smoothing Lumier's out a bit before leaving.
"So Axel… got any major plans for the night?"
"Nah, gotta go get my date then coming back." Danny raises an eyebrow and his smile drops. He wraps one arm around my shoulders and pulls me to the side slightly so we're still not in the party area yet.
"What are you doing here? I thought you got some kind of transfer years ago to Toronto."
"Nothing to worry about Danny. Anyhow I'll see you when I get back, gotta take my friend to get some fresh air while I'm out." I duck out from under his arm, glad that the pressure is no longer on my back and walk right up to Sora, seeing that Riku's still here.
"Hey Sora… are we going?"
"Going where?" I freeze as a hand slides up my back, stopping on my shoulder and squeezing a bit. I look over my shoulder and see Saïx, a glare on his face.
"I asked Axel to take Sora to my apartment since my car is a mess. It has no room for him right now. And he's passing by as it is, it shouldn't inhibit him getting to Namine's." his voice is so fluid as he lies through his teeth.
"Fine, but I want you back within half an hour Axel." I nod my head in agreement trying to keep the smile on my face despite the fact that he's still touching my back and it hurts so badly. Saïx squeezes my shoulder again, much harder then the first time and I have to bite my tongue to make sure I don't yelp.
Before even Riku has a chance to say anything else I grab Sora's wrist and pull him towards the door so we cant possibly be stopped. Sora stumbles a few times and I practically push him into the passengers seat of my car, fairly glad that we're out of the building but feeling my nerves hitting me hard enough to make me want to break down again.
"Axel… are you alright to drive. I can do it if you need me to." Sora is really considerate, but I just want to drive so we can get away. I know that Saïx wont go long without knowing where Xemnas is and as soon as they find out he's missing he's going to lock the place down and if our trackers aren't all gone by then we're fucked.
"I'm fine Sora… just hold onto something once we get out of here." he nods his head and tightens his seatbelt slightly, no smile on his face for a change as he sinks down slightly and I turn the car on, hearing the engine purr. I don't know how long we should trust my car for though, Xemnas could have had a secondary tracker placed in it when he had the work done only yesterday… or was it the day before? I don't even know how long it's been, this is bad. If I'm loosing my sense of time I could very well be going crazy.
Pete motions for me to stop so I slowly roll up to the gate, seeing the electric charge from my spot in the car and looking up at him. "We're allowed out Pete! Open up the gate." he glares at the car and I see him reach into his pocket, grabbing his phone out and checking the messages.
Lights hit us from behind and I check my rearview mirror to see Luxord is behind us, casting the individual seat shadows against the chain link fence. My eyes raise up to see Pete glaring at his phone then down at us.
"Sorry Axel, the house is going into lock down. Xemnas is-" my engine cuts him off as my foot presses the pedal into the floor and the front end hits the fence. "Axel! What the-" Pete is cut off again as I hit the pedal again and the front end of my car starts driving over the gates as they go down.
"Axel! What are you doing?" Sora grips my arm and I can tell he's scared.
"Getting us the hell outta here." Sora grabs my arm tighter and I see him curling up into a ball on the chair as my foot digs in further and the gates finally break open in front of me. Pete has made it down from his tower by this point and he rolls over my car as I hit him, forcing both Luxord and Riku to do the same since they've both made a line behind me.
"Here, call Riku and tell him to grab Roxas quickly, have him take Luxord with him while I get you outta here."
"But, what if they-"
"Riku has nothing to do with this. He started chasing us down with Luxord but we lost them. Just call him and tell him to tell Luxord, alright?" Sora nods his head and takes my phone as I start on the winding road that will take us towards the city. "Better yet, just make it a conference call."
I see Sora raising the phone out of the corner of my eye and what he says is the only sound I'm paying attention to for a moment. "Hello Riku… just give me a second for- oh, hi Luxord. You've got me and Riku here. Axel wants me to tell you both something, so just listen because I want to get this right. Axel wants the both of you to go get Roxas, he's going to take me to Abbotsford so we'll have the head start since if they come after us it'll be me and Axel they will be coming after." he wait's a moment and nods his head a few times. "Alright, give me a second."
Sora turns to me and I take a turn rather harshly because we're going so fast. "Luxord wants you to pull over, Lumier and Cerberus are freaking out, Riku will keep going and Luxord is going to meet up with Riku at Roxas' apartment."
"He knows where it is?" Sora relays the question and nods his head in agreement. "Alright, I'll pull over at the next turn, I'll also be removing the trackers that we still have with us." Sora nods his head and I slow down as we near the corner, Riku passes Luxord and us, Sora nodding goodbye to the silver head for a few seconds before Riku has vanished around the next corner right away.
I turn the car off and flip the glove box open, rifling through it for the tracker and as soon as I find it I open my door and throw it into the woods. "Come here Sora." the brunette crawls out of the car through my door since his is too close to a tree. "This might hurt a bit, but you'll be fine alright? I'm going to take the tracker earring out for you." Sora nods his head as Luxord opens his door and lets Lumier and Cerberus out before walking over himself.
"Is there something else I need to know Axel? Because I'd really rather not have a freaking out Riku when I get to Roxas' place."
"Just let him know that Sora will be there. It might take me a bit longer then I thought, but he'll get there. And whatever he does, he has to keep going. You've all got to keep going."
"Axel… what to do you mean they've all got to- ow!" I've pulled Sora's earring out harshly and as I look into the red eyes of the dragon I see that their just glass bubbles and the red injection is gone. "Axel! What did you-" Sora's pupils go wide and he falls forward so I catch him.
"Axel… what are you thinking in that stupid huge brain of yours?" Luxord moves beside me and help me hold Sora up.
"I'm doing the smart thing and throwing them off the trail. You take Sora, I'll give you a number that you can call in Halifax- the three o'clock train in Chilliwack will take you right there, I've even got money for tickets so the four of you wont have to ride the rails." I drop the earring into my pocket and lift Sora up, holding him bridal style as I walk over to Luxords car.
Luxord opens the door for me and I slide Sora into the passengers seat. "Axel, I don't like the sound of this."
"I've got it all written down Luxord. Here." I take a slip of paper out of my lapel pocket, it has step by step instructions on what to do when they get to a stage of the trip. "Once your in Ireland it'll be a little tricky, but there is a letter I've written to the man listed there. Give it to him and he should set you guys up with what you need until I get there."
"Axel… what's up with-"
"I'm calling in all my favors Luxord, with that small stack of paper I'm calling in all my favors, and I've only got so many. Please Luxord… follow the steps and try and help Roxas with his addiction. I'm begging you Luxord."
"And what's your plan Axel? What the hell are you going to do?" he looks mad and like he's about to blow his head at me. "Tell me Axel… where is the paper with your steps?"
"It's in my head. I'm going to lead them away from you guys, give you the best shot."
"And how are you going to do that Axel?"
"I have this." I pull Sora's earring out of my pocket and hold it up. "As long as they think we're still together they cant prove anything. They'll follow me and you will be bundling up by a fire in Ireland by Christmas." I give Luxord a bit of a smile before curling my fingers around the earring again and slipping it back into my pocket.
"Axel, you're crazy… what the hell do you think is going to happen? Do you think you're just going to have a bit of a trip before meeting up with us in Ireland like a story book?"
"No. I'm planning on being there in a year. I'm going to travel as much as I can to throw them off… just, stick close to that guy in the letter Luxord. He'll keep Roxas and Sora safe from Saïx if he comes looking for them." I feel once again like I'm going to cry, I'm putting myself away from them for so long, my plan cant be helped if I don't know their safe. And me running will give them at least until they get on the boat out of Canada, then they'll be safe.
I reach into my back pocket and pull out a few hundred gold coins in a leather pouch that'll get them train tickets and hold them out for Luxord as I close Sora's door. "I really couldn't have done this without you Luxord."
"Axel, I've watched over you for seven years, do you really think I'm just going to let you walk away? What do you think I'm going to do? I'm sticking with-"
"No, no your not Luxord. You have to do this for me Luxord… I've never asked you for anything in the past, but I will get down on my knees to beg you to do this for me."
"Don't beg… I'll do it. You should just know that I don't want to." Luxord takes the money and stuffs it into his pocket. "You're a good kid Axel… no matter how many deaths are under your belt." he gives me a hug that I don't return and I feel a kiss pressed to my cheek before watching him climb into his car and drive off.
He's wrong, I'm not a good person. I'm horrible… all I do is give my problems to others. I should be the one to help Roxas with his addiction, not give that task to Sora, Riku and Luxord. There is nothing that I'm doing that'll really help them, because Saïx will still send them out after Luxord's car. There will be a trail that Saïx will be able to follow if he tries… but I'm going to be working with faith here and begging that he sends more people after Sora and me- well, our trackers that are staying with me.
I don't want to be away for a year, I don't want to not see Roxas for that long, but Cerberus came out of Luxords car with the bag so I'll at least have the picture. I put my hand into my pocket and grab my cell phone out, I hold it in my hand and just feel the weight of it before holding it back behind my head and I chuck it into the forest as hard as I can.
There is no going back for me, I'll kill whoever comes after me and I'll slaughter whoever goes after Roxas… I don't care if he hates me for it and I don't care if I die trying to protect him anymore. Because leaving wasn't the thing to do, leaving is the worst possible thing I could have done, I just need to know how many horrible mistakes I'll make before getting something right I guess.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I must have stood there for at least ten minutes, just long enough for me to feel like Saïx was barreling down behind me. I had to move so I hopped into my car and started driving again. I'm coming up on the border now and rifling through the bag Cerberus has carried this far for my license so I can get passed the border without someone wanting something out of me.
People no longer care about who's going into what country, they just want to make sure that if anyone on a bounty list crosses them that they get the head money. My name isn't on such a list and thankfully it wont ever be on one. Only people who have killed others and there has been proof have ever gone onto a list, and even so, I'm pretty sure I wont blink to get as far away from Roxas as possible.
Lumier pokes his head between the front two seats and licks the side of my face, forcing me to smile because of the affection. "Yeah… I'm alright boy, don't be scared." I know he's never been off the estate since they brought him in and he's probably as scared as hell, but I cant let that stop me now.
I slow down as I approach the heavy metal burrier that is operated by a very buff man. My finger falls on the button and my window slides down as the man leans forward, setting his elbows on the edge of my window and a feral grin crosses his face.
"Hello there… and who might you be?"
"Axel." I hand him my license and his eyes go fairly wide.
"Wow… how old is this thing?"
"About seven years… I've been off the grid for a while. Is there a problem?" he looks it over and checks my face again.
"Just give me a second." he takes my license into the booth and I watch as he tinkers with the computer and keeps looking at me through the window then looking down at my license. It's impossible to think that I'm not the person on the license and he's coming back now, a smile on his face.
"Go right ahead Axel. Have fun and don't get into too much trouble, or I might not be allowed to let you back without your head attached." I give him a smile despite Lumier and Cerberus growling in the back.
"Awe… I could never do something that bad." again. I watch as he flips a switch and the barriers go back into the ground. I hit the gas as he opens his mouth to say something and kick my speed up as high as it'll go, wondering where the hell I should go first in my year trip away from Roxas.
Cerberus climbs into the front seat beside me and sits down, looking out the window and I cant help but roll it down a bit, watching as he sticks his head out like all those movies that were made in the 2000's. It's hard to think that all the really good things in life happened a century before me, a whole century and now the world is just a chunk of rock. We're no closer to the moon then we were when that American guy first stepped on it, we're no closer to a greener world, and we're certainly not closer to a crime free world.
"Do you like the wind boy?" he looks back at me and his face is so goofy I only wish I had a camera that I could use. Lumier sticks his head to the window too and I take a moment to watch the two of them before putting my eyes back on the road.
It's dark and if it weren't for my headlights I wouldn't be able to see anything. The concrete road is going through a wooded area and I have no idea where I'm going… the only thing that is keeping me from going back to Vancouver is the fact that the mirror of my car has a compass and it's telling me that I'm going South, my speedometer is reading 140 MPH and I'm happy as a kid in a candy store once again.
The roads are still smooth and I feel like I want to drift into sleep, but I cant stop moving for at least five hours, if I stop I don't want to think about what will happen, if I stop I don't want to think about what that'll mean for me, if I stop I don't want to think about what'll happen to Roxas.
My foot is starting to feel heavy and I want to just put the pedal to the medal and run… my flight reflex is kicking in and I cant help but want to just get as far away from Vancouver as possible. My plan is flawless, run around the world for a year to loose Saïx's trail on me and Roxas.
I don't really want to loose to Saïx, mainly because I've already beat Xemnas… but I don't know how much farther I can go without giving out. How many people can I kill before karma catches up with me? How many sets of eyes can I see the life fade out of before I feel more regret and I'm unable to deal with it? How much can I possibly do before my body gives out and I'm dead on the floor before I know anything even hit me?
Lumier pushes his head into my cheek and I cant help but give a bit of a smile as I reach up and rub under his chin. He gives a doggish smile and I cant help but slow down just enough that I'm not screaming down the road, even though the lights that have been behind us for a few minutes are concerning me a bit.
"Alright Axel… you're alone, in your car, with your dogs… and you're running away from Saïx. He's chasing me because I've killed Xemnas, and I'm going to Florida. What the hell is it in Florida that I need? Um, um… right! I want to go to Florida so I can go to New Orleans so I can get rid of the stupid tracking devices in the swamps! That'd be the best place to get rid of them; give them a nice clear trail to follow then cut it off and make the rest of it as hard for him as I possibly can. I think I want to loose him in Africa, if my plan works out the way I want it to at least.
Now, most people would have a simple plan, something that isn't as intricately thought out as mine is… but there is no plan better then mine!
First I'm going to drive to Florida and pick up some of the basics, nice clothes that I'll be able to move in, maybe some hair ties since I'm not going to want my hair to look like a lightning bolt for the whole year, some stuff to make Lumier and Cerberus more comfortable in the back of the car- maybe trade this baby in for a better vehicle (Oh, like a jeep!)
After Florida I'm going to drive up to New Orleans, probably hang out there for a week or two and then I'm going to dump the trackers and boot it over to Texas, spend a week or two around the tall people there and get a pair of cowboy boots, maybe work a little for some random company so I can have more then just the small amount of money I'll have in my pocket. All I really know is that I'm going to spend the next month or so slumming in my car until I'll ditch it somewhere or trade it for something and then I'll finally be able to go off the grid and run that way.
Texas is just going to be a passing through kind of thing though- at least that's what I want. I want to get right down into Mexico and get to the Panama Cannel as fast as possible so I can travel down through Brazil, I've always wanted to see the rainforest, it's been great in all the stories I've read and all the pictures I've seen in books. I kind of hope to see all the great wonders of the world though this trip.
But once I'm at the tip of South America, I'll somehow get to the Folklands, and from there I'll hang out for a month or two, maybe help with some kind of research and get a bit more cash. Before going to South Africa, from there I'll make my way up Africa by whatever means necessary. Then I'll take a plane from Cairo to St. Petersburg and travel through Russia.
Once I'm above Asia I'll go into Mongolia and then hop over to Japan. I'll hang around in Asia for a while, probably get lost in the crowds- maybe I'll pick up a bar tending job or something while I'm there for a little while.
I'll work my way to India form there though, and from India I'll take a plane and go to Australia and see some kangaroos!… unfortunately after that my plane kind of runs out of steam… I want to stay out of Europe as much as I can until I'm ready to go back and know that Saïx isn't on my trail anymore… I just don't know where to ditch him completely.
I come back to reality and see that I'm just entering Seattle, nothing for me to do but keep going, I have to run. Lumier pushes his nose into my ear and I have to just shiver because of the cool feeling before I swat him away with my free hand. "Go away Lumier… I need to think." the truth is I don't know what to think about, but whatever I do think about it has to be precise and consistent.
Lumier does it again and I let out a bit of a sigh. "Lumier… I'll feed you- oh. Shit, I haven't fed you yet. Alright, I'll find a pet shop." great… that's something I didn't plan for, especially this close to Vancouver. I just hope that Saïx isn't that close behind us that this stop will kill me.
I slow down a bit as we come into city boundaries, there are a few cars on the road, but they don't seem to be in any kind of hurry- unlike me. So I weave in and out of the few cars on the road that I'm coming across every few minutes. Lumier has curled up into a ball in the back seat and Cerberus has lost interest of having his head out the window and is just contently sitting in the passengers seat and looking at either me or the road.
I scan the surrounding roads for some kind of sign that there is a pet store, but all I see is a dinky PetSmart, and the last time I was at one of those the employee almost molested me. I don't have much of a choice though since I need to get both of them some food- too bad I'm still in my tuxedo though, it'll be hard to explain if I'm asked. I guess I could give them some kind of bullshit about a funeral… it'd be an alright lie.
With a sigh I turn the wheel and park my car, wondering if I need a leash to bring my dogs into the store with me for a moment before screwing the rules and opening my door so they can both hop out.
Lumier goes right to the tree beside the car in the little island and Cerberus starts sniffing at the concrete. I can tell he doesn't like the texture of it just because he's walking a little too delicately, as long as I don't make him run on the stuff right off the bat it wont hurt his paws- bonus to having the car.
"Lumier, Cerberus, come." they both perk their ears in my direction as they erect their heads and start following me, Lumier on my right and Cerberus on my left- just as it always has been.
I unbutton a few buttons on my tuxedo jacket and stuff my hands into my pockets as the sliding doors open for me. I hate sliding doors… are people so fucking lazy that they cant hold a goddamn door open for two seconds anymore? Lumier and Cerberus raise their noses and start sniffing around for the major feel of the place, but because of the huff I hear from each of them they can smell the other dogs and don't like it. Despite that though, they don't leave my side.
"Oh, sir I'm sorry but you're dogs must be on leashes. It's against company- wait a minute… do I know you?" I stop and look up at the fairly old woman in the green dress, the black store apron tied around her waist and a puzzled expression on her face. "Hey Flora… Merrywhether, come here!" she turns around still looking at me out of the corner of her eyes and I really don't know if I should just leave the old bat alone and keep walking.
"What is it Fauna?" my eyes dart to a slightly shorter old lady wearing a reddish-pink dress and the black apron before another much shorter and stouter woman comes over, wearing a blue dress and black apron.
"Does this man look familiar to either of you? I feel like I've seen him before, but I cant put my finger on it." ever think you're just plane old bat-shit crazy? Of course not, why the hell would anyone think that of themselves when it makes sense? I let out a sigh and step around the group as they start to whisper to each other, motioning with my hand for Lumier and Cerberus to follow me I leave.
I skirt around the crazy ladies and look up at the signs for the store: Rodent Care. Reptile Care. Fish Care- wouldn't the fucking dog shit be in the front of the store? Cat Care- I think I'm getting close now at least. Canine Care- great! That's me!
I turn down the isle and stop as three very large Doberman Pinchers start barking and growling down at the food end of the isle. The owner looks to be having a shitty time keeping them under control and I just let out a sigh, motioning for Lumier and Cerberus to stop growling and sit. They're so quiet and compliant when I command them to be, knowing full well that they only listen to me because they want to and are loyal to only me- the fact I give them food is a good reason too.
"S-stay back! M-my hands are slipping!" the man is short, stout- and could undoubtedly lay off on the donuts. His white and blue striped shirt is riding up around his stomach and I can even see he's got an out bellybutton, and the bright red shorts he's wearing isn't helping him in the slightest.
"Whatever… just get out of my way so I can get some food." he shakes his head and I let out a sigh, stopping just outside his dogs reach and rubbing the back of my neck as I glare at the guy. "Listen I've got no problems with kicking them, I'm not the one who'll have to pay the vet bills and I'm not the one who'll have to put up with it." the guy just shakes his head again and I grind my teeth together.
If the stupid bloke wasn't so insecure the goddamn dogs wouldn't be freaking out so much because someone else was in the freaking isle. I hold my hand out for the dogs so they can get my scent, it doesn't help and they just keep barking. "Fine." I lower my hand and take a step further, watching as all three of the dogs back off a bit. This stupid guy with the shirt reminds me of someone, but I'm not really interested in remembering. I stride passed them, watching as the mans eyes go wide and I bend over to grab the two different bags of food, one for German Shepherds and the other for Great Danes.
I'm out of the isle and headed for the cashier when the three ladies walk right up to me and the one wearing blue stops me. "Your Axel, aren't you?" I just raise an eyebrow and walk around all three of them, both bags of dog food are on my shoulders and my arms are loosing circulation.
"Ha! It is him, I told you Axel wouldn't answer!"
"A lot of people wouldn't answer you Merrywether… it doesn't make him Axel." the green dressed lady walks to the other side of the till and she uses the gun to scan the tags. "It's ten gold coins love." it's expensive but I don't really have an option since Lumier and Cerberus are practically drooling.
"Excuse me… can I leave these here for a moment? I need to grab a few more things." the lady nods with a bright smile and then goes back to gossiping with the other two- is there really nothing better that old ladies do?
"It's Axel, I know it… who else would have bright red hair like that and green eyes?"
"Uh… any crazy person with money for hair dye and contacts."
"Yeah, but there were no roots, and his forehead wasn't dyed."
"Ever think he could have done it yesterday or the day before?"
"I'm telling you, that's Axel… the guy in the picture that woman showed us." alright, my interest has been piqued.
"Yeah… but she didn't seem all that real… I mean, sure her hair was bright red and she had pretty eyes… but could she really have been his-"
"Shhh! don't you think that's something for her to figure out? We shouldn't even get involved in this Flora… you just like the thought of that happening." I raise an eyebrow and grab four metal dog bowls off the shelf before moving over to the dog beds and grabbing three large ones that I can spread across the back seat of my car for Lumier and Cerberus. I stand for a moment and think, trying to hear what their saying.
"It sounds too good to be true. Are we sure he's not just in trouble… I mean, he pulled out ten gold coins like it was no problem- ever think he could be a thief? He's too young for that kind of cash." well apparently they don't know how much someone can get for selling their body for sex.
"I doubt it… he's wearing a tuxedo, what criminal do you know that wears a tuxedo?"
"And he's also wearing that tuxedo to buy himself some dog food… isn't that suspicious?" alright, so I guess their not going to tell me about this mystery person who had my picture or something apparently.
Before I know it, I'm cashed out, I've got Lumier and Cerberus in the back of the car, eating their food while I'm driving and I have no idea why I'm running again… I just feel defeated and down.
