"Hey! Kid!"

George's heart started to race as he looked up to see a tall burly man.

"It's half-past midnight. What are you doing here?"

George sighed.

"Sorry sir, I was looking for something and I got a little distracted."

The man looked definitely displeased to see George at the pier.

"Sure kid. I'll give you 60 seconds to get away from the docks and go home, it's not worth it whatever you're doing."

"Just great! What are we gonna do now?"

"George, you have to knock him into the water and get to the button."

George paused.

"Sir please leave me alone. I don't want to hurt you."

The man laughed and pushed George slightly.

"Go home kid."

George looked like a wounded animal to the man, he could tell.

He dashed around the man and back to the bright city.

He scurried into an alleyway collapsing on the concrete.

"George, you can't just go back now."

"Of course he can go back, we just have to make a new plan."

"There are no plans anymore Ella! The world isn't supposed to be like this!"

George's head rested in his hands.
