I get off the slow-moving bus, the second my foot hits the ground and my nose exits the bus, the cool midnight air hits me. I can already feel the tip of my nose start to redden and my breath hitch every time I take in a swift inhale of the cold crisp air. My mid-length red hair sways in front of my face due to the wind making me shove them away from my eyes in frustration and exhaustion from the long day's work at the hospital. I turn a corner and look up at the dark yet starry night.

A small smile forms on my plump lips as I see Santino stand over our shared dumpster outside our crappy Hell's Kitchen apartment.

"Hola Santino..." I start to say as I walk towards him. "Por qué estás despierto tan tarde? Deberías estar durmiendo." I ask him as referring to the late night and him being awake. I walk up to him only to see he's not even paying attention to me, but to a masked man in our dumpster.

My instincts kick in as I quickly throw off the man's mask, having an inkling that he is the one I hear of constantly. He lays on his back, bleeding and groaning lowly in pain.

"Hey, hey, don't move okay," I tell him placing my hand over him trying to make him relax, but he passes out due to blood loss and anxiety of his face being revealed.

I curse underneath my breath, knowing now I have to bring him up myself, now 10 times harder due to his sleeping state.

Tonight's gonna be a long night, I think to myself.
