CHAPTER 2

…

"We're not actually buying nachos are we Rick?" John bent over so he was head height with Rick.

"Nope."

"Duncan's going to be depressed." John smiled.

"Oh well."

The dimly lit streets gave off an eerie vibe that made Rick feel unwelcome. He knew Zephier would be nearby. Zephier obviously wanted to confront John tonight.

"So why do you want to find Zeph?"

"Huh? How did you find out?" Rick was shocked.

"I can see it in your eyes. We Highly's are exponentially perceptive." John bragged.

"That's not perception that's mind reading." Rick thought to himself.

"Just kidding! I overheard your conversation with Zeph's girl."

Rick was begging to get quite frustrated.

"You were talking with Fern?" A familiar voice suddenly interrupted.

"Zeph is that you? Show yourself!" Rick shouted into the darkness.

"Calm down Rick, you won't get anywhere by being angry." John held Rick from running towards Zephier's voice.

"He's right Rick. Besides, it's not like you would even stand a chance in a fight against me."

"How could you leave Fern alone? She needs you right now!"

"Adding to that; how could you let Xeno just go like that?" John spat.

"Weren't you just telling him to stay calm?" Zephier pointed out.

"Unlike him I can actually stand a chance against you." John grinned devilishly.

"After all I've done to try and help you."

"I just want you to treat Fern better!" Rick made this a two on one.

"You think you could do a better job?"

"I know I could you useless drug lord!"

Zephier didn't respond.

"That's right I know who you are! Zephier the suave, Swiss drug lord who invented stelinos." Rick had a winner's face equipped.

"I'm impressed that you figured me out so quickly. It took John half a year before he realized." Zephier stepped out of the dark. "I think you've both earned the truth. I owed Xeno for something he gave me a while back. I'm not going to hide him or anything though; he's in Wein if you really want to find him John. Also, I care for Fern but I'm too dangerous for her and I can't give her what she wants. I'll talk with her later but for now let's enjoy some good old fashioned, Austrian coffee."

…

"They've been gone for over an hour now! I need more nachos!" Duncan was holding his belly as he complained.

"Shut the hell up about your god damn nachos! I'm two seconds away from strangling your plump arse!" You could see the veins bulging on Marvin's forehead.

"You don't have to be so mean Marvin." Leona smiled innocently.

"He's making me hungry." Marvin sighed.

Leona put a crab pop in her mouth after hearing both the boys complaining.

"You may seem cute and innocent but you're really a she devil."

"You're welcome to have one if you want." Leona smiled again.

"Thank you so much! I love you! Marry me!" Duncan leaped upon the platter of crab pops like a cat does to yarn.
