-------------------------------------------------------
I walk the cold, arduous route to my flat. It's raining heavily but I just walk, hood up and with not a care in the world. In the corner of my eye, I notice a bar, funny, I don't remember seeing it before. Neon lights blinding onlookers. Interesting. I'm not gonna be in this city much longer, so I might as well drink away my pain while nothing matters. I take out my cell phone and call my dealer. I only take eridium, but this guy does fake IDs, eridum and all sorts of junk. I dial the number and hear my call tone playing Holiday by Green Day. My favourite song.
"Yello." the voice said, radiating from my phone.
"Jack."
"Maya! Great to hear from you!"
"How fast can you get me a fake ID?"
"15 minutes."
The line went dead. I knew what to do, he wants me in the alley on Pandor Way. It's where I buy my eridium. I set off at a jog, it's gonna be a stretch for time. The wind clawed at my face but if I'm not there on time he'll leave, these streets aren't safe for humans. I keep running until I sharply turn a corner and vault over a dumpster. Ducking behind it, I loose the hoodie and jeans, feeling instantly colder. I throw on my bodysuit, not giving a shit I was half naked in an alleyway. The flexible material keeps me warm, oddly enough. I start running and pick up the pace again, sliding under a battered chain link fence and dodging the occasional car. I swung into a back alley and lean up against the wall, panting with exertion.
"Jack, father of Angel and employee of the Hyperion corporation?" I gasped, breathily.
"Maya, child of Athenas and beholder of phaselock?" responded a familiar voice.
Without further words, His hand brushes mine and I have an ID. I stroll to the bar, about to get wasted and drown in sorrow. Fun. I read online reviews of this place and apparently it's cheap booze and high alcohol percentages. Fantastic.
