Mix managed to get some cat food from a store next to his apartment complex. When he opened the door, he saw Edin lying on the floor, staring at him. He looked ready to bless Mix with a nasty scar right across his face so that he would look more like the badass gang member he was.

"Hey cutie, I know you are mad, but I promise we are sorry, okay?" Mix squatted towards Edin, and showed him the bag from a grocery store "look, I bought you some yummy food."

"Meow."

"Yes, it's yummy," Mix walked to the kitchen and put the food into Edin's bowl, "come here, cutie, let's eat and then we will have a movie night until daddy comes back, sounds good?"

"Meow."

"I'll take that as a yes," Mix opened the fridge and got something to eat himself.

After both Edin and Mix were done eating, Mix put Edin on his lap and turned on the TV.

"So, Edin, what should we watch?" Mix ran his hands through Edin's fur, skipping every Netflix suggestion.

"Oh, I think I know, let's watch The Godfather, the classic gangsta movie because we are tough gangsters, Edin." Mix put his legs on the table and hit the play button.

.....

Mix made it into the middle of the movie, but he couldn't take it anymore. His mind was constantly minding its own business. No matter how much Mix tried to focus on Vito Corleone and his mafia family, the only thing that was running through his mind was Earth.

Mix was confused. He didn't know what to think about his new roommate. Usually, when you used to be a professional racer, and then you ended up in the street racing gang, it would make so much sense that you would brag about how you'll kick everyone's asses because you know what you are doing.

Well, at least Mix thought that, that was how it would go down if this was an usual scenario, to begin with.

But Earth?

If Mix didn't see that photo, he was sure that Earth would play innocent, acting as if he had never raced before. What was even more strange was that Mix was sure that he saw that photo before, but that wasn't possible, was it?

And then the whole Jack/Mike thing in the bar? Why was Earth asking Mike about Jack, when he could ask Mix? And all of this didn't even include Kit. Why the fuck did Kit want Earth? He didn't come for Pond when he won the Midnight Lottery, so why now?

Mix had way too many questions and no answers at the horizon.

"Who exactly is your daddy, Edin?" Mix patted Edin's paw, "who is he?"
