Ergastulum is filled with crime. Other than the cops, and some other people, no one is brave enough to do anything about it.
Until a group of Twilights decides to group together and do something.
Along with the Three Fathers, the Order of Twili...
" He caught me with a cigarette again," I told Nic. " Said if he caught me smoking again, he would kill me. Yeah, right. I looked over at Nic and asked: " How are you liking the North Gate Mercenary Troops?"
" They're OK." Nic sighed.
" You mean boring?"
I exhaled.
" I'm so tired of him."
" Should I kill him?" Nic signed.
" Wait until his prized possessions leave, then you can slaughter everyone."
" What's the plan for after?"
" We head for Ergastulum, and I can get a job at one of the brothels."
" Or, Trixi's Mom can watch over us."
" Where does she live?"
" West of District 8."
" My Mother can only handle one headache," Trixi said as she appeared beside Nicolas and sat down. " You know your Dad has ears like a hawk."
" Let him hear," I told her. " He's probably passed out anyway."
" So, what wing are you starting at, Cold?"
" West, Black." Nic signed.

" Mom, look at this," I said as my mother looked to her left to see me holding a toolbox. " Dad will love this."
" Go on, put it in the cart."
" Can I go look at the dress's Mom?
" Go ahead, just be careful, OK?"
" OK."
While humming, I skip down one of the isles an accidentally bump into a very sweaty man.
I could tell he was very nervous.
" Sorry, mister," I said. " Are you OK?"
" HE HAS A GUN!" Some women upfront screamed.
The man up front instantly drew a gun and started shooting.
The nervous guy just stood there.
I kicked him in the shin, which caused him to collapse, and grabbed the pistol that fell out of the back of his pants.
I darted back to where my Mom was and told her to follow me and keep her head down.
I took her hand and guided her to he back exit.
On the way, I shot at the shooter and blew out his left kneecap.
He cursed me out as we darted out of the store and into an alleyway.
" I worry about you sometimes." My Mom told me. " I'll never understand how you can do this stuff."
" I just can't stand back and watch, that's all Mom."
Something crashed through the wall beside me that made my Mom scream.
It was a boy that was around my age that had black short hair and dark gray eyes.
He was wearing a black muscle shirt, dark green cargo pants, a light grey jacket with white fleece inside with black combat boots.
" Is that all you got, punk?" A deep voiced man asked.
" Oh my." Mom said.
" Are you OK?" I asked the boy.
The boy pulled out a knife and threw it at the jerk that sent him flying through the wall while he was getting up.

" You mind helping me take those ass holes that are in that store out?" I asked him as we reached through the gap and the wall to get his knife.
He passed me and headed straight for the store.
" I'm guessing that's a yes." I thought as I followed carefully behind him.
