Nick and Victor were hiding from the group Victor was talking about earlier. Nick looked around and spotted the ID they were supposed to be returning to its rightful owner. "On the count of three we run over there, snatch the ID and skedaddle out of here." Nick told Victor.
Victor nodded. "One." Nick counted
"Two."
"Three."
The two made a run for it. "Hey! Stop!" Someone yelled from the other side of the room.
Nick grabbed the ID and they ran through the door with at least five people chasing after them. Nick got tackled by someone who was fast for no reason other than important plot stuff about to happen and Victor met the same fate, Nick saw the ID on the ground and quickly grabbed it and hid it. Someone started walking towards them, they were in their early 20's had a leather jacket on and had blue jeans.
"Well look who we have here." The man said .
"Well would you look at that a pig that chatters!" Nick said for no other reason than to make the man mildly annoyed.
The man knelt down beside Nick. "I reckon you shut up before something bad happens, yeah?" The man said.
The man pulled out a knife and stood back up and in front of Victor and Nick. "Well good news! One of you is going to die the other will live! The thing is you decide."
Nick looked at Victor and looked back at the man who just looked back at him. Nick decided that Victor should live and he opened his mouth to say something. "Nick it's fine, none of us has to die." Victor whispered.
"How do you know that?" Nick whispered back.
"Extremely convenient smoke bomb I forgot I had in my pocket, plot armor is saving us."
"Plot armor? The hell are you on about-"
Victor activated the smoke bomb and they were able to break free. "How do you forget something like that is in your pocket???" Nick yelled as they sprinted away.
Victor shrugged. They kept running until they reached a fenced off area. Nick hopped over the fence and Victor did the same and someone ran over there with a knife screaming like a crazy person. "What the fu-" Nick said before being slashed in the face by the knife. Victor pushed the person away and they started running. They reached a spot with a lot of people so they were more safe than before, they started walking and found the person who they were supposed to give the thing to. They walked over to him. Nick tossed the ID over to him, "Nearly died for this, better be worth it." The man handed them the money and they walked away.
"I should get back to my place my sister will kill me if she learns about this." Nick told Victor.
"Alright see you later then?" Victor asked Nick nodded and ran off.
Nick made it back home and sat on his bed and reached up to his cheek where the person slashed him and found that of course it was bleeding. (Of course it is it was a knife-) "Kat's gonna kill me either way." Nick muttered before walking into the bathroom and getting the band-aids.
Nick put the band-aid on the cut5 HOURS LATER
Katie walked into the house and walked into Nick's room. She immediately saw that he put a bandaid over an injury. She sighed and said, "Nick you can't keep doing this."
"I know I know." Nick replied.
"Nick just promise me you won't do anything like this again." Katie replied.
Nick nodded and Katie smiled faintly and walked away. Nick lay back into his bed and went to sleep.The next day
Nick woke up and got out of bed and stretched. Nick walked into the kitchen where his sister was. "Hey Kat." Nick said still half asleep.
Katie waved. Nick sat next to her. "Are you hungry, Nick?" Katie asked.
"Yeah a little bit." Nick replied.
Katie nodded. "We'll get something later." Katie told Nick.
Nick nodded and got up and walked towards the door. "I'm going to go for a walk." Nick told Katie before walking out of the house.
Nick walked down the streets filled with people who were trying to get home as soon as possible, not unusual. He walked for a bit longer before going back. Someone ran into Nick knocking him down. Nick stared at the person. "Hey! What the hell?!" Nick shouted after the person.
Nick looked down at the ground and saw a walkie-talkie. 'the person must've dropped it or something' Nick thought before picking it up and running home with it.
