I go by Andrew Johnson. I am just another neighborhood boy trying to make it through the struggle. I used to live down in my cousin's basement until he accused me of stealing his shit. We used to record some good music together, but time moves fast and I guess I overstayed my welcome. Recently, I've been fighting in the streets on weekends. All this cash I'm getting now is worth bashing my pretty face in. It's still a pretty face though!
All the attention I'm getting now, I never would have seen it coming. I used to want that recognition bad for my music, and now I finally have it through something different. They call me Bolt in the ring- My block, hook and jab all fast as lightning. I'm the next fighter on the rise and this is my story.

Chapter 19
Good afternoon to all the staff of Linear Impact Co. You are all being invited to a meeting this Wednesday, 08:00 at Linear Impact Co.
Our building has been going under major reconstruction and the company has been under investigations, for that we offer our sincerest apologies. A new management and board of directors is taking over Linear Impact Co. And now that this previous chapter has been closed, we look forward to another clean and hopefully successful future with you.
In their respective houses, Andrew, Wayne and all the other boxers and staff members of Linear Impact Co. were staring at the same message from the company that they thought they were done with.
