________________________________________________________________________________

In a dark city, the alleys were filled to the brim with people.

One person in particular walking down the alley was a young man with blue eyes and black hair that had a blue streak where his bangs are. He wore a grayish-blue open blazer with a cyan colored T-shirt that had a whitish-blue strip in the middle, blue jeans, and a pair of black dress shoes.

After some walking, he found himself standing before a doorway with an orange neon violet sign with the title "Emo's World" beside it. The sound of what was either heavy metal or grunge rock was heard.

"Let's just make this quick." He said with a sigh before entering the building. The establishment, if he could even call it as such, was just as he suspected; the music was baring, the foul stank of cigarette smoke and booze permeating in the air, many patrons dressed as the stereotypical emo, he was already out of his comfort zone.

He makes it to the bar, where a bartender who was a woman in her mid-thirties with black wavy hair was tending. "Aren't you a little bit young for a place like this, sugar?" Asked the bartender.

"Aren't you a little bit old to have a name like Lulu?" little lied with a stoic expression. "I just wish to have a word with the runner of this place. Any ideas where they may be?"

"Just a sec." The woman named Lulu before she picked up her cellphone and dialed up a number. "Hey Damian, somebody wants to talk to ya." A voice on the phone spoke while Lulu shrugged. "I don't, some kid just came to me and said he wanted to speak to ya." Lulu replied as the voice on the phone spoke again. "Just a bit..." Lulu looks to him, "Gotta name like, kid?"

"Noah." The young man named Noah replied. "And I'll have you know that I'm in my mid-twenties."

"Yeah, cool." Lulu said nonchalantly before returning to the call. "He says his name is Noah." Lulu nods silently as the voice on the phone spoke. "Ok." Lulu hangs up and looks to Noah. "He'll be with you shortly. Can I get you anything in the meantime?"

"Just bottle of water. I do my best to avoid alcohol." Noah replied.

"Alright then." Lulu said before she pulled put a bottle of water and hands it to him. "On the house, by the way."

"Much appreciated, madame." Jude accepted the water and waits for his person of interest. And thankfully, he didn't have to wait long, for said person had arrived.

He was a man who appeared to be somewhere in his late forties with long dark brown hair, a pale complexion, and sunglasses obscuring his eyes. He wore a black leather jacket that was opened with a black T-Shirt underneath with a logo that read "Nitrox", black jeans with black leather boots.
