I walked down the pier, seeing the small cart of the Chinese place in the mass of people. With Shadow next to me, I kept going, until I came face to face with the old Chinese man who owned the place.
"I will have the Sweet and Sour Chicken, with two egg rolls," I ordered, then looked at Shadow, waiting for him to order.

"I'll have the chicken satay and two spring rolls." I smiled at the old chinese man who owned the cart before looking around at the peir. I had heard plenty about the place, apparently it had a lot of tourist attractions, like the carnival and other such stuff but I had never came down to see any of it, a bit too many people for my linking.

In a quick time, the old man handed us our food, and I paid him, the old man smiled and nodded happily as we walked away. Intertwining myself through the crowd, I headed to a bench and sat down, ready to eat.
"Do you have a place to stay?" I asked Shadow.

I ran my hand through my hair, a nervous tick I had for when I was embarressed, and smiled sheepishly at Shorts. "Not exactly..." I trailed off before digging into my food.

"Why are you embarrassed? It was a simple question." I laughed a bit, biting into my chicken. "You can stay at HQ, unless you have a better place to be."

"I'm embarressed 'cause it makes me look like a worthless bum." I muttered into my food. "And that'd be nice, I ain't got anywhere else to go, but wouldn't your Greens be a little apprahensive about havin' an outsider in their HQ?"

"Nah, we are pretty laid back, unless one see's you with a Red, or worse, a Blue. And beside, most others don't live at the HQ. Granted we have a few that crash there, but a lot like to stay hidden, living either alone or with their Hacker." I told him. "And besides, you're one of us now, right?" I asked, staring at him.

I smiled at Shorts. "Yeah I guess I am. And don't worry I ain't gonna try and meet up with any Blues, I seen enough of them in the slammer."

I nodded. "Fantastic." I finished off my chicken, and tossed the box into the trash can. The crowd had thinned out a bit, and I noticed something strange. I immediately stiffened, then got up. "Looks like we have a friend on our trail..." I slightly tilted my head to a man standing twenty feet in front of us. "He has been there since we hit the pier."

I looked in the direction that Shorts was and saw some guy standing there. "Let me guess, we run right?" I smirked, excited at the idea of getting my blood pumped with adreniline.

"You run, to the docks, the guy is probably after me," I told him. "I won't be long, sit down by the old docks. I have some business to take care of." I looked at the man, then back to Shadow. "But don't worry, if one is here, others ought to be close." With that, I walked away, heading north. Looking behind me, I saw the man, following me. I picked up speed and turned to the alley, as soon as I was out of view of the general public, I darted forward, running north. standforsomething.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=centralmall&thread=25 |

"No way, I ain't just gonna sit around waiting! I'm coming with you, wether you like it or not." I was about to run after Shorts when I saw a few more guys following after the one who went after her. Well, I might as well get them off her tail. "Oi!" I shouted at them, catching there attention and they began to come towards me. I'll lose them then meet back with Shorts later.
