Chris is currently sleeping in his apartment which is still dirty from yesterday. He lives right next to his workplace or at least it isn't near. He works as a rental security guard, but his main job is as a Mall Cop.

It isn't so bad, but he wishes it could be better. He tried signing up as a police officer however he was declined for a variety of different reasons. But he's too embarrassed to even talk about it. The alarm clock goes off and Chris automatically wakes up like a spring-trap.

Chris: Is it already 6 a.m. Already? It didn't feel that long.

Chris lays back down with a defeatist attitude and wishes his life could just be better. Anyways, Chris gets up off his bed and does his routine. Brushes his teeth, takes a shower, puts on the uniform, and makes sure he does not forget his wallet. Almost forgot! Brush his hair and he keeps forgetting about that. He has Ginger hair with fair skin and brown eyes. He is 5.7 in height and is quite fit for someone of his stature. Considering that he doesn't like exercising.

Chris goes to his car and drives to his workplace. "The California SuperMall" is a mall that was erected back in 2020.

Chris while thinking about pretzels for some odd reason. It's been a while since he had a cinnamon one.

Finally reaches his workplace and gets chewed out by his boss immediately when he entered the door. His boss's name is Rufus, and he was a police officer until he retired.

Rufus: what took you so long!? You need to start organizing your own schedule and most importantly we're going to have a special guest coming to our mall. I don't like yelling at you kid but I just got a whip you into shape.

Rufus says with the utmost confidence.

Chris and Rufus are also humans including everyone in the mall who works there.

Chris solutes in respect and immediately clocks in. When Chris left, Rufus smiled and begin to think. *I'm rough at the kid but I'm really trying to help. That boy really reminds me of my son however he's not a disappointment unlike my son*

Chris gets on a Segway to begins his normal routine throughout the mall. However, it's the usual. Either helping people with directions or stopping shoplifters. And it's been going on for days. Five days later.

It seems like another day in the office until one of Chris's co-workers another Mall Cop told Chris that someone stole Chris's tires from his car.

Chris: WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? THOSE TIRES WERE $100 EACH!

Chris started to search through the premises and even through the streets filled with tents. Chris ended up coming back empty-handed to the mall. Chris was about to give up until he noticed a monkey beastman pickpocketed someone. The two turn around to make eye contact and they were 11 ft apart. Silence entered but then Chris shouted.

Chris: HEY! Stop right there!

Chris began to Chase the beastmen and it went on for quite some time. Jumping over and climbing over things.

Chris was Relentless and seemingly had a lot of stamina. However, he was getting tired. Meanwhile, the Beastmen was also getting tired.

The chase ended up leading Chris to an alleyway outside the mall. Where the beastmen seemingly disappeared.

Chris looked at the alleyway and felt like he was going to Brown his pants.

Chris: come on Chris. you're a Mall Cop. You shouldn't be afraid of an alleyway but possibly it's filled with people who would like to stab me...

Chris finally had enough balls to search the alleyway. Chris became very surprised when he discovered his tires were there. Including a bunch of other stuff. Before Chris was about to report this to the police with possible stolen items. He feels like someone is behind them.
