Hillstome. Ah, the town that must've been created by mistake!
In this lawless town, crime is everywhere! Drugs, drive by shootings, arson... if you can think of a crime, it's possibly done in Hillstome. The Police are just as culpable as the criminals.
This isn't to say that everyone in this town is evil, no. Far from it! There are some genuinely good people. I happen to be lucky enough to know a few of them personally.
Speaking of good people...
"Hey lover! Wanna go for a walk?"
"Now why would I do that? I'm clearly busy."
"Anha. I'm sure your- What is that? Crafts? Whatever it is, it can wait. Come on!"
"What exactly happens when someone says no to you Care?"
"I wouldn't know. It's never happened before."
Carol or Care as I call her is a close friend of mine. She's quite the character! I haven't known her for long but she's loving and caring. Her personal life is something of a mystery and she seems to prefer it that way so I try not to pry.
"Well well well. If it isn't the certified loser and his little girlfriend! Going out on a date?"
"Yes actually. But what would you know about dates? You've never been on one!"
That absolute piece of trash is called 'La Espada' and he's one of the worst things to ever happen to this town!
He was feared by many people because of all the rumours of all the terrible things he'd supposedly done. You don't want to know, trust me.
And he was currently blocking our way staring down Care with his signature death glare that was just as terrifying as Omar Little's whistle!
Before I could pull Care away, I watched in horror as she stomped La Espada's left foot and push past him dragging me along by the wrist.
La Espada was feared by many people... Care wasn't one of them! And that scared me.
"Care! What were you thinking?" I asked pulling my wrist away from her hands.
"Don't you wanna come for the walk with me?"
"You know damn well that's not what I'm talking about!"
"Oh, that. He was in our way." She said dismissively. "Shall we go now? It's getting late."
She must've had a death wish! But that was Care for you. I've never met anyone who didn't take shit from anyone like she did! She didn't care who you were, she wouldn't stand by and watch you disrespect her.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"Yes. Almost as beautiful as you Care!"
"And here I was thinking you were only interested in getting into my pants!"
"You're my female best friend and my soul Sister. That makes you the least attractive person to me on this planet."
"Way to make a girl feel special, Lover!"
"Is something on your mind Carol?"
"Carol? That's new! I guess it's time to get all serious."
Silence.
"Harold, this whole broody thing you're doing right now... it's so not sexy!"
Silence.
