//Ned\\

It was Neds night shift at the shop and the place was working slow. Usually the visits weren't packed like he wished it was.

He was not working as hard as he was in the day. It was boring but relaxing. The staff was short but as long as he had any company he was fine.

Shum Fields and his very mysterious girlfriend Tombsey Morse was there.

Tombsey was a barista and Shum cleaned the place up and served tables. They had a rocky relationship on and off. Tombsey was accusing Shum of cheating with a male and Shum swears he was only working his other job. Shun was 21 and struggling in the mean streets of Harlem. They called it the New York hood.

They spent there shifts arguing then kissing. Then they started throwing knives. Tombsey had a darkness in her. She had a lot of rage built up in her cage and sometimes it seemed through her skin and splattered everywhere.

Shum was just as crazy. He was violent and didn't like people much. In reality his other job he was a mercenary. I got my first gun from him, though I never used it and don't plan to. He does it for Tombsey though. He wants better for her, no matter who he had to hurt to get her the life she deserved.

"So how about that kid you talk so much about? How is the little guy doing in school?" Shum asked.

Ned laughed and he was sipping his lemonade so that caused him to bubble up his glass which spilled over.

"Well he is an honor student. He gets along with the kids well," Ned lied.

Tombsey gave him a look knowing since she first met John that he wasn't a people person.

"No I'm kidding, he got in a fight and threw a calculator at his math teacher for saying he needed to keep up."

The three shared a laugh and that little sense of friendly memories had Shum and Tombsey forget about there fued.

"Sounds like John to me!" Shum said holding his gut as his insides tightened with his laughter.
