Chapter 3: Freeze

"What the hell are you?" Kristi demanded, still pinning him to the wall, now with even greater force.

"You can't be a ghoul, I saw you eat a sandwich just fine yesterday, so spit it out!"

At this point, Levi was just barely able to grab Kristi's hand, in an attempt to remove it. "I'm…... a human," Levi managed to say as a blue tentacle appeared to be forming out of Kristi's lower back.

Now, not just one, but four of those blue tentacles have sprouted from Kristi and took their aim at Levi's head. Inching them closer and closer to his face, she continued, "I've killed for a lot less than some little shit naively about to give me away, so you better explain yourself right now Levi."

His denial had finally ran its course, so realising his fate, he finally stopped struggling. His head dropped down to his chest, as tears began to run down his face. "Atto…"

"Who?"

"Atto! A man named Atto! He turned me into this! He injected me with something as I was trying to save him, and now…. I am what you see before you. A ghoul,"Levi screamed with what air he could as tears ran down his face.

"You should just kill me now. I don't have a place in this world anymore. I don't have what it takes to live in your world," Levi said in melancholic tone.

Kristi couldn't believe what she was hearing. No ghoul she knew would back down from a fight, not even one that they were loosing. Out of some forlorn sense of pity, she released Levi from her grasp and retracted her kagune. He hit the ground gasping for air, while she just stood over him trying to figure out what he was. Humans don't eat other humans. "Your smell, it's different, it's female," Kristi said as she offered him a hand and pulled him up.

"But in this town I guess anything is possible."

Levi deadpanned, "Being a ghoul is one thing, but seriously? Do I look like a girl to you?."

Kristi took a step closer to him, leaving no room between the two of them. "I'm not questioning your gender, I'm just saying that your smell is quite feminine."

Kristi came even closer to Levi, until she nearly made contact with the skin of his ear. He could practically feel the warmth of her breath as she whispered, "I don't mind that though, you smell damn good."

Levi's face became the same tomato as it has been several times throughout the day, as all of the blood he had, rushed to his face. Pulling away, she left a small kiss on his cheek, and let out a small chuckle.

"Relax will ya? Let's go back inside. Just control that hunger of yours," Kristi said still chuckling.

She spun around on her heel and headed back towards the exit of the Rock House and knocked on the door. After a few seconds passed Travis opened the door, with a confused look on his face. "You didn't kill him?" Travis grunted while glaring at Levi, who now was as white a as a ghost.

"No, he's harmless. I'm sure he isn't any kind of a problem," she replied.

Travis wasn't moved by her judgement, but he knew that Kristi wasn't one to leave someone who could expose her alive. But then, the answer clicked in his mind as to why. "I get it, you like this guy, that's why he's still alive!," Travis mocked.

"How adorable! The almighty widow is in love."

Now, as fate would have it, it was Kristi's turn to become red in the face. Although, unlike Levi, she didn't take her brother's comment lying down. Without missing a beat she kicked Travis square in the crotch.

Levi felt that kick just from watching it and reflexively moved his hands down, covering his parts out of respect. "You bitch! What the hell was that for?" Travis yelped in agony while rolling on the floor.

"Don't you dare say that I have feelings, you ass wipe!," she hissed.

As if nothing happened, Kristi then turned back to Levi, who was now fear stricken. "Let's go back in, the next band is really good," she said sweetly.

In fear of receiving the same fate, Levi just nodded and followed Kristi back inside. Travis grabbed his leg, stopping him in this tracks. "Dude trust me on this, don't screw with her. This is her in a good mood," he said as he released his leg and went back into a fetal position.

Leaving Travis to his pain, Levi returned to the interior, where the music was blaring. Upon scanning the room, he found Kristi now dancing on the floor with a drink in one hand and her phone in the other snapping pictures. "She is something else," he thought to himself.

He walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Turning around, her face instantly lit up. The tough girl who was in the alley, ready to kill, was gone, and replaced with a girl who was seemingly as normal as anyone in their early twenties. Someone whom had pulled off a terrifying facade, hiding in plain sight as a monster in a world in which she did not belong.

As a slower song began to play Kristi put her arms around Levi to get closer and speak to him. In doing so, Levi feels an intense jolt of pain in his shoulder where Kristi had placed one of her hands. The pain, so intense it causes Levi to pass out almost instantly.

A few hours later Levi jolted awake. He was now in a bed that was not his own, in a room he had never before been in, with his hands touching all over his now bare torso in a panic. Looking around the room he saw his missing shirt across the room, on the floor, just next to a door that was semi-shut with its room illuminated. He grabs his shirt and tosses it back on the bed, only to peek inside the illuminated room just behind the semi-shut door. Upon inspection, he finds Kristi. She was sitting on the floor with nothing but her bra, shorts and leggings she had been wearing earlier, scrubbing what looks like to be his pants. Nearby, he saw her shirt hanging next to the his pants, which she was cleaning. With a sigh of relief he entered and said, "What the hell happened?"

Enthusiastically, she said, "Oh you're awake already? What didn't happen you animal?!," with a wink to follow it.

Following with even greater concern based on what she just said, "Kristi…. Seriously what happened?"

"Where do I start? You took twelve shots back to back, we came here with Travis and well, I don't even know how to describe what happened next," Kristi said as she bit her lip seductively.

"Wait a second…. You don't mean…" Levi said as terrible thoughts began to flood his once innocent mind.

"Oh yeah, you can see Travis had a good time too," Kristi said as she pointed over to Travis, who was laying on the couch, asleep with his one visible hand firmly planted on his crotch.

"What kind of twisted people are you?! I mean… You're both related aren't you?! And you dragged me into your vile acts! WHILE I WAS ASLEEP!" Levi screamed with his anxiety on the verge of sheer denial of what he is hearing.

No longer able to keep her composure, Kristi began to bust out in laughter. "Oh God! This is too much! You're too easy to mess with, Levi!," Kristi cackled on the verge of tears.

Unable to comprehend anything that was happening, Levi stood there, baffled at what horrible humor could come from this single girl. "No no Levi, I'm just messing with you. You passed out back at the rock house when I touched your back, so Travis and I just brought you here. And well….. You sort of threw up on me. Dick," Kristi said as her laughter was beginning to die down.

"Seriously, you need to man up." She continued.

"I've carried your ass twice in one night and we just met."

Levi just looked towards the ground and said a soft, "I'm sorry."

She places her hand on his cheek and mockingly says, "Don't apologize, I know all you men are actually giant babies."

Levi sarcastically replies with a, "Says the girl who refuses to acknowledge her feelings" under his breath.

Kristi suddenly stops, turns towards Levi, and unleashes her kagune. Once again, her four blue tentacles stop about an inch from his eyes. "What did you say about my feelings you pathetic little bitch?!" she savagely said with her jet black eyes and crimson iris staring murder into his soul.

Levi feels every ounce of his masculinity fade and mutters a high pitch "Nothing! I didn't say anything."

Kristi turned back into the kind girl she so often posed as in a matter of seconds. "Okay get dressed, and I'll take you home," She said with a sweet smile and retracting her kagune.

As she walked away Levi swears he heard a mocking "Ha!," coming from Travis' direction.

A few moments later Levi walked out dressed, to find Kristi waiting at the door, with a pillow in hand. "Ready to go?" Levi asked Kirsti as she readied the pillow in her hand into a throwing motion.

"Once second," She sweetly said as she threw the pillow at Travis.

"Hey, moocher! Watch my place while I take the princess home!" Kristi snarked at Travis like she had back at the Rock House.

There was no response from Travis, other than a middle finger in the air, as they walked out the door, seemly following them.

The walk back to Levi's apartment was done mostly in silence, with the only thing to be heard was the faint sounds of car horns in the distance as they navigated their way through the Los Angeles night's streets. Levi's nervousness on their journey was not subtle by any means, his hands would shift in and out of his pant pockets to rid himself of the cold sweats that seemed to be unceasing in their return. It wasn't hard for Kristi to notice how uneasy Levi was, the smell of adrenaline aerating from his pores was nothing but potent for her. "I didn't realize I made you nervous," Kristi said, breaking the silence towards Levi, who was once again removing the sweat from his hands.

"No, it's not you, it's just been a long couple of days." Replied Levi with hesitation in his words.

Kristi placed her hands into her pockets, mimicking Levi. "Wow, really? I'm offended," she stated matter of factly.

"Just messing with you. I can imagine, you just had your life flipped upside down and got thrown into another. Who knows maybe you can be some hero in an epic or something," she said with a wink.

Levi looked at her, and said with a sigh, "Hardly, the only story I'd be in is a tragedy."

Kristi let out a hard laugh, "Yeah, I can see that. You seem to have a troubled soul about you."

Levi exhaled rather loudly with yet another sigh and looked up to the dark starless sky, "Life so far hasn't been a bed of roses."

Kristi looked over at him with disappointment, "Really? I've heard better depressing stuff from Travis, I mean… Thrash."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend your hipster palette," Levi replied without missing a beat."

"My hipster palette you say? I'll have you know I work for a former gangster rapper," Kristi stated proudly.

Levi was in shock and awe at the information he was given. "No way…. The owner of Yami Coffee is an angry former gangster rapper?"

"Yup, that he is, and even better he goes on rants about the modern rap scene." Replied Kristi with her chest now puffed out as she tilted her head to the sky heroically and firmly planted her fists on her hips.

The banter between the two continued until they reached the entrance to Levi's apartment. "And that was the story about how I was featured in a legit rap song." Kristi stated matter of factly.

Kristi looked at Levi with a look similar to the one she gave him the apartment. "Listen, I know you're new to this whole ghoul thing, but you need to know that there are ways we do things around here, that people may look the other way on."

Levi wasn't exactly sure what she meant by that, but had a vague idea that was followed by an uneasy feeling in his stomach. "What do you mean by that? You don't mean…. Killing people do you?"

Kristi shifted, she put her hand on her hip and tilted her head to motion off a sense of obviousness to Levi, "I really don't think I need to answer the obvious for you, college boy. What time are you free tomorrow? I'll just show you."

Levi couldn't fight what she had in mind, he knew that killing was wrong, who wouldn't, but this was his only means of survival and Kristi was the only ghoul that he knew could help him. With his hands crawling back into his pockets, he muttered a nervous "Okay, fine. I'm free after my internship tomorrow at the hospital. I'll text you when I'm done."

Kristi regained her sinister, yet playful smile she wore most of the night, as she raised one hand up to Levi's cheek, "Good boy. Now you go and rest. Oh, also"

She drew closer to Levi until her mouth was inches away from his ear, just as she was for the briefest moment earlier in the alley way. "Don't you lose that intoxicating aroma about you while I'm gone," she whispered as she kissed his cheek and walked away.

Levi watched as she walked away for a few seconds before saying. "I thought you were straight, but now I'm wondering."

Levi's quiet words were caught by Kristi's superhuman ghoul senses. Upon hearing this, Kristi playfully turned around with a wink and said "I'll never tell."

Levi let out a sigh as he watched Kristi walk into the darkness of the city. Heading into his apartment, he removed his blazer and placed it into his closet. After a very long night he fell onto his bed, arms spread wide and inhaling deeply, taking the last few hours in. His entire life until now he has never felt as if it was out of control. Being a college student, an intern at a hospital and now on top of that, he is now a ghoul. How was he supposed to deal with it all, how could he care for those that are now his food, how could he keep it hidden? Before getting lost even further in his mind his phone buzzed, it was Dexter. "Hey pal, are you home or are you staying at her place?"

Levi couldn't even get a word out before Dexter continued his assault, "No, how could I be so foolish. You brought her to your place didn't you you sly dog?"

Technically he wasn't wrong, but Levi digress' "No Dexter, she walked me home, because I got food poisoning at the club." Levi said, correcting Dexter.

"SHE walked YOU home?! What kind of lame ass date is that? Have I taught you nothing?!" Dexter yelled into the phone.

"Dexter, I'm well aware of that system of yours, but I can't control food poisoning. And, just so you're aware, she did kiss me, twice in fact."

"Very well then, you get a pass. But, barely! With your indescribable luck, only you could get a kiss after getting something like food poisoning." Dexter said in a defeated tone.

"Dexter, I have an early shift in the morning at the hospital, so I'd like to get some sleep," Levi said while looking at his clock to see that the time that read 1:30 am.

"4 hours of sleep" he sighed.

"Poor Levi, you'll get break one day pal," Dexter said rather confidently trailing with a laugh.

"I tell myself that every damn day my friend, but I need to get some sleep I'll talk to you later," Levi said with his exhaustion waning on his voice.

"Alright sleep well pal," Dexter said as he hung up the phone.

The next morning was a living hell for Levi. Running on four hours of sleep, accompanied by the piss poor excuse of coffee that the hospital provided, he found that the fumes he was running on were quickly fading. The worst part above all the rest was the fact that he had a bear claw laying in front of him, taunting him with the fear that he wouldn't be able to eat it. He let out a single audible gulp as Shannon took a seat next to him. "Hangover?" she said with half-assed concern.

Levi looked at Shannon. "Well, not exactly. I just had a late night," he said while staring intently at the bear claw that lay before him.

Shannon ripped off a piece of the pastry, and teased Levi's bottom lip with it. "Now open wide," she said while placing the treat on his tongue.

Levi swallowed it in an attempt to not seem weird or blow his cover. Fear and anxiety now rushed over him. After a few long seconds, relief washed out all ill feelings he had just had as its flavor was as a bear claw should be. With that newfound information he devoured the rest of the pastry in front of him almost instantly. Shannon gazed at Levi with a real concern growing on her face as he devoured three additional bear claws. "Levi, calm down, you'll throw up if you keep eating that fast," she said with her tone matching her expression.

Levi choked on the final bite of his last bear claw, for a few seconds upon hearing Shannon's words. "Yeah, don't want to do that," he said in between coughs.

"You really don't know how to slow down do you, Levi?" Said Shannon as she spun her stirrer in her coffee.

"I know how to slow down, just not at work," Levi said with a grin.

"You're going to work yourself into the ground," Replied Shannon as she still mindlessly stirred her coffee stick.

"No I won't, stress and hard work is perfectly normal," Levi said with his exhaustion returning for another wave as his phone went off.

He looked down at it and saw that it was Kristi. "Hey good lookin, don't forget you and I have a date after your shift ;)." Seeing her name pop up gave Levi several mixed feelings, but ultimately left a smile planted on his face, something that didn't go unnoticed by Shannon.

Shannon's mood quickly perked up from her semi-tired trans into one of passive aggressive curiosity. The tone of her voice quickly followed suit as she snarked at Levi while now stirring her coffee stick faster than before, "Friend of yours, Levi?"

Half paying attention to Shannon, Levi responded with a lazy, "Yeah, something like that," as he was typing away on his phone.

Shannon's face was now as red as she had made Levi the previous day. Hardly holding her composure she quickly blurted out "Well I certainly hope you have a lovely rest of your day Levi, I'm going back in," as she got up and began walking away.

Being brought back into reality, Levi turned to Shannon as she was walking away and yelled, "Shannon are you okay? You seem off today?"

Shannon halted in her tracks as she turned back to Levi and after a one second delay she calmly said to him, "No Levi, I'm perfectly fine. Maybe when you're done here, Kristi can wake you back up. See you later Levi."

Levi, seemingly taking her answer at face value replies with an excited, "Okay! I hope so too! See you later!"

She then lost all of the composure she had and stormed off. Shannon knew that Levi was oblivious to things, but this was a whole new level, even for him. She couldn't be mad at him, because he didn't know what was going on, nor how she felt, especially in the sleep deprived state he is in now. If anything this frustrated her even more so, but hopefully work could take her mind off of it.

Still sitting in his seat in bewilderment, trying to figure out what happened Levi typed his confusion away to Kristi, "Yeah, I remember. The weirdest thing just happened though. My friend saw me replying to you and then she got mad and stormed off. Did I do something wrong?"

About a minute later Kristi's reply buzzed on Levi's phone, which was read almost instantly, "God you're dense. -.- You're lucky you're cute… or not, in this case ;("

Levi was now as lost as Shannon was angry, replying with nothing but a simple "What?:)"

The rest of the time spent at the hospital went as normal as any other day. Levi gathered what things he had and pulled out his phone to tell Kristi that he was on his way to Yami Coffee to meet her. Kristi remained silent for several minutes, until Levi walked out of the hospital's double doors when his phone buzzed from Kristi, "Okay"

Levi had wished for a little more than a simple okay, perhaps even a single smile, but he was still happy that he was going to see her nonetheless. He put his phone back into his pocket and continued on his way. As he got further and further into town he found himself crossing more and more people than he normally would. It was odd to him, there weren't normally this many people out and about, especially walking, but what was truly odd was all of the terrific scents he could smell in the afternoon air as he passed more and more people.

Just ahead in the distance there was a large group of people gathered together making a huge fuss about something. Being on his way, Levi decided to stop by and see what was going on, but before he reached the mass of people a man dressed in black pants and a fitted black dress shirt bumped into his shoulder. "Watch it you little shit," the man snapped at Levi.

He appeared to be a young Chinese man not much older than he, with a rather light complexion. His sides were shaved with the top of his hair swooping over to the right side of his head, slightly hidden by the thick black glasses worn on his face. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you," Levi said nervously in response to the Chinese man's intimidation.

The man grasped Levi by his collar and brought his face close to his own. "Didn't see me? Are you blind, or stupid?" he said angrily.

Levi's anxiety was building and became obvious in his face and body as he struggled to speak. "L-look, I'm sorry. I don't want any trouble sir…," Levi cowered.

Levi's fear seemed to only further anger the man, making him start to breath a bit heavier. As the man's heavy breathing transformed into a fast paced huff and puff he stopped midway through one of his inhales. The man's anger immediately subsided, being replaced by wide-grown eyes filled with surprise and intrigue. He continued to sniff Levi even more vigorously than before, and quickly put the guise of anger back on his face and reflected it in his attitude. "You're lucky I don't have time to deal with you, you pathetic piece of trash," he said as he shoved Levi away from him and continued on his way.

Levi stumbled backwards, almost losing his balance. Regaining his composure, he thought to himself what that could have possibly been about. Why was this man so pissed off, why did he sniff him so much and so intently and why did he let him go out of the blue. Was he a ghoul like Kristi and Travis? These thoughts raced through his head as two gentlemen dressed in long grey jackets carrying briefcases walked passed him in a hurry towards where the Chinese man was walking. "The CCG? I guess that man is a ghoul, and the fact that they're on to him must mean trouble. I really lucked out that I didn't cross him anywhere else," Levi said to himself.

Shaking off what happened, Levi walked up to one of the people that were gathered in the mass. Levi tapped a man on his shoulder and asked, "Excuse me what is going on over here?"

Excitedly, the man quickly turned half way towards Levi and responded, "They're shooting a movie with Lance Hardwood over there. You know the romance, action star."

Levi had heard of movies with him in it, but hasn't ever actually seen any of them. From what he's heard Lance's movies are more of guilty pleasure films than anything else. "Oh, okay, cool. Thank you. Do you know what they're filming?" Levi asked curiously.

With the same half attention as before, the man answered, "It's Hard Vengeance 6."

Unamused, Levi thanked the man once again and continued on his way, but not without getting a view of the man that must be Lance Hardwood. Off in the distance he could see that he was a large, muscular, white man wearing torn up fitted clothes. His slicked back, wavy brown hair reached just past the back of his jaw line while the special effects make-up made him look pretty roughed up with burn marks covering his skin and dirt scattered over his face. He quickly moved out of view from Levi as they both were moving along.

It wasn't more than 20 minutes that passed until Levi found himself at the entrance of Yami Coffee, the place where no longer than 24 hours ago he had made a huge fool of himself. The place where he unknowingly found the frivolous ghoul Kristi that would be the only one to help him in his new life. Placing his hand on the door handle, he opened it up nervously and entered. "Aye! Welcome to Yami Coffee young homie!," a deep voice bellowed from behind the bar.

Looking back to see where this voice he hadn't heard before came from, Levi saw a large black man. He was well dressed with a blue dress shirt and cream slacks, covered by a white apron. Was this the man Kristi said that she worked for? Levi approached the counter to give his order and said, "I have to say, I didn't believe Kristi when she said who she worked for," trying to make light conversation to kill time.

The man leaned in towards Levi a bit in intrigue replying, "Yeah? What's so hard to believe about it?"

Levi, backing up a bit felt his anxiety begin to rise once again as it had for most of the day. He quickly replied, saying, "N-nothing! She just worded it oddly was all and I didn't expect it to be true!" in an attempt to fan the sparks that were about to burst into a roaring fire.

The man's face and voice had now grown into full-blown irritation as he planted his hands firmly on the counter. "What? A brotha can't be black and like coffee or culture? You know what this bitch stands for? It's Japanese for black coffee dog. Not white, not tan, some straight up Yami ass coffee homie!" he exclaimed at Levi's expense.

Levi knew in his mind that Yami meant dark in Japanese, but he figured that now wasn't the time to be correcting this clearly agitated and proud owner of Yami Coffee. Almost cowering now, Levi was tugging at strings, trying to figure out something to say to calm him down. "Look I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you sir! Please forgive me!"

Taking his hands off the counter, he had proceeded to cross them as his time seemed to calm down a little bit, leaving his face unchanged from the irritation. "Now aint this about a bitch. You trying to pity me now or some shit? Aye Kristi! What does this look like to you?" the man said while turning his head to face a small door to the left of him.

From behind that door Kristi's voice had made it's way through. At first this was Levi's saving grace, but what he heard quickly changed that. "Looks like some kid being a little bitch sir!" she said in compliance.

With his arms folded across his chest, the man said nothing, nor did he move a muscle, leaving Levi nothing but a dirty scowl glaring into his soul. Seemingly, the longest second of Levi's life proceeded to pass by. With not only this clearly agitated coffee shop owners gaze fixed on him, but several other people in the shop shifting their eyes towards him as well and shaking their heads in disappointment. Levi was never good with large social situations, but now that this one marked him as a villain before so many people his head was ready to explode. He couldn't think, his mouth couldn't find a way to utter any words as he stood there frozen, crumbling under the pressure. Until, Levi's shining white knight walked through the door which the man had previously looked through. Dressed in tight black jeans and a plain black tank top Kristi had appeared before her damsel in distress. "Nah, he's cool sir. He's just bad with words," she said smugly to the owner.

Taking a moment to weigh the counsel he had just been given by the lovely Kristi, he caved in and offered a hand to Levi. With instant relief, Levi came down from his near immobilizing panic attack and offered his hand as well. However, this was no mere handshake like Levi was expecting. Levi's hand was clasped with great force as he was dragged half way over the counter, finding the man's large open hand wrapped around his back giving him two solid pats. "Aye, if Kristi says you're cool, then you're cool," he said as he let Levi go.

Kristi made her way around the bar and over towards Levi while waving her hand goodbye towards her boss. Heading outside of the shop Kristi leaned over to Levi with her typical playful voice saying, "I told you."

Just being happy that this was all over, a defeated Levi said, "Yeah,... you did."

L.A.'s alleys were dark and isolated, often shrouded with shady dealings and people whom reflected the same. The warm air from the sunny California day stood stagnant only to be broken by the occasional breeze the rushed through. Blood was scattered everywhere as two CCG inspectors lie on the ground, lifeless and torn apart. After wiping the blood off of himself as much as he could, the Chinese ghoul Fong stood there with dissatisfaction at his lowly prey. "Filthy CCG pigs. These piles of trash don't even compare to swine across the river," Fong said to himself as he kicked one of the dead agents.

"Better report to the big man about my findings out here. I really hope that bastard is satisfied, I don't exactly feel like getting chewed out today," Fong said, in the lonely alley way as he pulled out his phone and began dialing.

As the connection has been made on his phone, the other side picked up and he could hear Tatara's cold and meticulous voice on the other side. "What is it Fong?"

Perking himself up to sound a little bit more polite, Fong replied "I found him sir. Atto's experiment."

"It took you long enough, Fong. Now, take care of it."

"Yeah, got it boss."

"One more thing Fong, I'm sending in someone else to take charge."

Fong bit his lip in anger, but stayed silent, waiting for his superior to finish. "I'm sending in the other half of Kanou's toy. He will take charge, after your display of incompetence of Atto's escape and the loss of the experiment. He will arrive in a week's time. Understood?"

"Understood, " Fong said hanging up the phone.

"GOD DAMMIT!" Fong screamed as he began to repeatedly stomp the inspector's bodies.

"Piece of shit Atto, and his piece of shit experiment! You better have eyes on the back of your head you little shit. I'm coming for you," Fong screamed in rage as the bodies before him had now become completely unidentifiable in their damage.

Calming down, Fong pulled out a large pen from his pocket, pressed the button on the bottom and took a hit out of it, blowing out a cloud of red smoke. The sound of a large group of people down the alley way could be heard coming his way. "Aye, it's one of those vapers esse. Let's go say wassup!" one of the men in the group said loudly, signaling the others he was with.

Fong smiled a devilish grin as he put his pen back into his pocket. "This is just what I needed to blow off some steam. I guess someone out there is looking out for me," he said, taking off his glasses that left nothing but the evil glare of two blood red eyes glowing in the darkness of the night.
