Chapter 9

10:02

We made it to their law office were Foggy was at the computer and Matt was reading a braille book.
"Hey, guys." Foggy said to us.
"Hey Foggy. Matt." Karen said.

Foggy was at the computer. He looked concentrated.... Too bad I was about to break that concentration.

"I have a question."

"Anything." Matt said.

"So last night I heard noises...I asked Karen About them and she heard....most of them."
"Noises like what?"  Matt.

"Someone suffering from an epic buttkicking."

"Be specific..." He replied.

"OK...I heard crashing followed by banging...yelling and grunting...bones cracki-" Foggy stopped me.

"How do you hear bones cracking...from Matt's apartment."

"My hearing has always been way better than everyone else's."

"Back to my question....did anyone else hear them...besides Karen?"

"No...can't say that I did." Foggy said.

"Actually I did."

"I hope I'm not....distracting anyone from work..."

"Oh its okay...its not like anyone ever really comes to us." Karen said.

Then there was a knock at the door. Karen answered it. It was some guy. Maybe a client.
Matt slid his laptop in my direction, faced me, grinned and said " here."
I look the laptop and sat in the other room at an empty desk.

It was already on and the page was on a google search for 'Japanese Mafia'.

I just ignored it and went to YouTube.
Karen came back into the office and Matt came in the room I was in.

He sat in the chair on the other side of the desk.
"I have a question and forgive me for asking."
"Anything. I would get mad, it's just curiousity."

I looked at him and saw his face...another scratch.

"Are you really blind?" He chuckled
"What makes you ask that?"

"You know where everything is. Like I could move this desk to the other wall...and you would know."

"That's not true. Trust me Foggy did something like that to me. Anyways did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes. Best I've ever had since...ever!"

"That's good. Nice to know you are adjusting to some life improvements."

" Thanks."

He got up and walked towards the door.

"How did you like the breakfast?"

"It was good. I feel a lot better staying with you... Even though it has been less than 24 hours."

"That's good.Then he walked back in the other room.

While the time passed I watched a bunch of life hacks.

12:15

"Hey I'm going to get something to early from...subway maybe...wanna tag along?" Karen asked me.

"Sure." I put my shoes back on and walked out the door with her.

We made it outside and she asked me "Living with the other...people..on a scale from one to ten...how bad was it?"

"It was the worst feeling in my life. I really don't know how to explain it."

"Well, I hope you can reform it and live better."

"Thanks. And i was always angry.Only I didn't lash out and attack anyone."

"Wow... I know that's gotta feel like crap."

"Yep..it was and I'm glad I got away. You know...I really don't have the kind of heart to hurt someone as much as I want to."

"I know what you mean. " she chuckled. Then paused.

"Everything alright?"

"Yea it seems like you can't trust people here Hells Kitchen." She said.

"No. I guess you cant."

We arrived at the door of Subway, I opened the door and walked in after Karen. We ordered our sandwiches and a few cookies for Matt and Foggy.

12:30
We got back to the office on a safe note.
When we got back upstairs, Foggy was at the door and said "Some guy named Alex Winston said he was attacked by a guy in a purple suit. He claims his mind went blank and next thing he remembered was covered in blood in an alley this morning."

"I'll be in their in just one second." She walked to her desk and grabbed a pen and a notepad. She walked into the room where the Matt And Foggy were with the bloody guy. I grabbed the computer from the other room and sat in the center office desk.

I listened to what they were saying.
"Then that purple dude walked up to me and said something I couldn't understand and then I went blank."

"Have you ever seen this man before this event?" Foggy asked.

"No...I...i never seen him before yesterday."

"Could you describe his face and how he acts...meaning talk, gets around." Foggy asked.

"With just the information you gave us we can't really determine who is after you...or who did this." Matt said.

"I'm telling you. This man was like no other...his skin was purple...and so was his suit...along with his hair. Only his hair was more of a blackish-purple." He said.

"Wait...you stated his skin was purple along with his attire. Did his skin looked painted?" Foggy asked.

"No. I...I... I think I remember a part of what he said."

"Well what did he say?"

"From what I recall...he said I need you Alex. Then his voice began to fade."

"Of anything else like this happens again please come back to us. In the meantime we will be on the lookout."

When I looked in their Foggy handed Alex a card.
"Sorry if we didn't help you as much as you needed. But when you came to us this made you a client. Meaning we will help you until justice is served." Matt told Alex.

"I thank you for what have done so far. I will try and keep you updated."
Then Alex walked out of the interrogation room and out the door.

"Apparently a purple man attacked him." Foggy told me.

"What has gotten into people these days?" I said.

"My question exact." Karen said.
