Buster's heart was racing as he wanted to cry but he knew he couldn't right now. Buster ran through the alleyways while hearing rough voices of thugs nearby. He couldn't stop, no matter how much he wanted, he knew he couldn't.

"Where is he?!"

Buster heard that rough voice with a gasp and then he almost screamed from his loss of footing. He collapsed into the dirty brick while breathing heavily. He looked around to realize that he fell into the sewers. He heard someone come up beside him as he turned to see a dark-furred mouse shushing him while pointing to the other mice to close the sewer lid. Buster's ears twitched to hear footsteps passing by him, not even looking down into the sewers.

Buster started to breathe a little slowly while looking at the dark-furred mouse. "W-Who are you?"

"The name's Malcolm. I believe someone you knew dropped this phone," Malcolm said as he took out the familiar phone that appeared as it belonged to Eddie. Buster gasped to see it as he stuffed it in his pocket.

"T-Thank you," Buster stuttered, shivering in the cold.

"Come with us," Malcolm beckoned the koala as he guided Buster through the sewers with a couple of mice following them.

Buster looked around the sewers while shivering more in the cold. He perked his ears up to find the tunnel that was somewhat bigger than the mice but only Buster could fit through. He peeked into the tunnel to watch Malcolm lead the mice towards the lit-up place. Buster crawled through the tunnel with a few grunts and got closer and closer to the lit room. Buster finally crawled out of the tunnel to see the sewer place had a dead end while the mice were all walking around like they were in a town with boxes as the buildings and candlelight as the streetlights. Buster was careful not to knock over any boxes or step on any of the mice as he saw a straw bed that he could sleep into. He didn't have an idea of what was going on within this place but all he knew was that he needed rest.

Buster sat on the bed further from the mice while noticing Malcolm approaching him.

"You can stay here as long as you like. Just be careful," Malcolm said with a soft tone.

"Why are you helping me?"

"We saw you on the news," Malcolm stated.

Buster lowered his ears down while frowning. "You did?"

"Yeah. We knew Jimmy was going to stab you in the back the same way he did to us when we were performing for him sooner than later. And he did."

"He's going to kill me."

"Yeah. He will. I told your friend...um, Nancy, I think...that she needs to get her and her friends out of Redshore City. I guess she didn't take my warning too seriously."

Buster sighed deeply. "Look, I'm sorry for what Crystal has done to you. But if there's anything I can do to get you guys into a better place, I would."

"Don't feel obligated to help us," Malcolm stated. "You are being hunted right now and Jimmy won't suspect you here with us. If you can, get out of Redshore and don't return here. Jimmy is going to kill anyone who dare threatened his position or try to make it into the big leagues. The best thing you could do is not even try. Trust me, it's for the best."

Buster was left at a loss for words as Malcolm went off to check with the other mice to see if they need anything.

The koala laid down on the bed while staring up at the molded ceiling, thinking about what Malcolm said. It sounded almost similar to what Suki said before all of this happened. Was Suki actually trying to protect them since the start? And the fact that she said that he had no idea what he was getting into, she was right...he absolutely has no idea what he's getting into until it's too late. Now, he's being hunted. Now, his real forbidden name was revealed to the world.
