          King's Crew members, Razor, Stiff, Louis, Jim, Whistle and Sunbite, made their way to the stairs. This time they would avoid the elevator. From upstairs the streets looked clear, no signs of the army. Razor knew this was misleading and without a doubt they would bump heads with the army, before they made their way back home, however he found it imperative to leave Paulie's house, the tension was becoming unbearable.

          Unfortunately for Razor, he had another issue. His best friend, Stiff, otherwise called Cayden, was planning on leaving them and heading down to Southampton to find his sister.

         'If you're definitely going, I'm going with you'

         'And who's going to look after the crew?', Stiff asked. He appreciated his friend's support, but knew the Crew would need him more than ever.

         'Someone else can run it, while we're away. After all, with the whole city on lock down, there's not much going to be happening down here'.

          Stiff put his arm around Razor's shoulder and pulled him inwards, joyously. 'Well, you're the boss'

           'Good. That's settled'

           'Who you leaving in charge?', Whistle asked.

           'You and Louis are coming with us.......'

           'We are?'

           'They are?', Stiff added.

           'I'm coming too'. They all turned, to see Paulie coming down the stairs.

           The crew immediately stood firm, ready for combat. When they realized he was alone, they relaxed.

            'NK1 sent you to spy on us?', Razor asked, eyeballing Paulie.

            Paulie stepped closer to the group. 'It's true he sent me to keep an eye on what was going on, but it's my choice to volunteer to join you on this trip. After all you may need another white face out there.'

            Razor knew he was right, which was the major reason he wanted Louis along with them.

             'And what do you get out of it?'

             Paulie smiled. 'I get to keep an eye on you, report back and I get to see what it's really like out there'

             'If he's going, I want to go too', Sunbite said.

             Razor looked to Sunbite. 'No, you're staying. I'm leaving you in charge of the crew'

              'What?', Jim yelled out in astonishment, 'you fucking out of your mind'

               Razor was over to him, in an instant, grabbing him by his shirt and slamming him to the wall.

               'Don't you fucking talk to her like that'

               Whistle placed a hand on Razor's, encouraging him, not to use too much force.

               'Sunbite's in charge. You hear me?'

               Jim nodded

               'Say it'

               'What?'

               'Say it'

               'Sunbite's in charge', Jim said reluctantly.

                Razor released Jim. Jim brushed himself down, not because he needed it, but because he needed to hide his embarrassment.

                'You can come', he growled at Paulie, anger still in his voice. 'Louis text the rest of the crew and let them know Sunbite's running things'.
