"So tell me, what the hell happened to me?" Deilson ask.
"You meant us, before i start explaining, we need to change sits."
"What?"
"You're driving."
"W-why?"
"We need a decent meal. Your brain and mine won't work properly with an empty stomach. And i'm craving for some fast food."

Deilson drove into the drive thru, he ordered burgers for the two of them. As he opened his window, the worker stared at Kevin in the passenger sit.
Deilson noticed the reaction. "It's a Halloween costume."
"But it's not even Halloween..." The worker replied.
Deilson started to panic silently inside. What the hell am i suppose to say, think fast, lying is one of your specialty.
"I made him wear it. He lost in a bet."
The worker found the answer acceptable. "But it looks so real."
"Of course it does. Hey Kevin, why don't you open the mouth." Deilson gave a smirk.
Kevin opened his mouth with hesitation.
"Anyway, can we have our burgers now?"

Kevin bites down his burger. Deilson ate a few french fries as he drove towards downtown.
"That was really slickly of you." Kevin wiped the sos off his long fox mouth.
"Thanks, now can you explain something?"
Kevin was enjoying the moment of having a burger, but Deilson ruined it.
"Fine, just let me think where to start... what do you wanna now first?"

Deilson park the car by the sidewalk.
"My past."
"Ha, great question. Well what do you know about your past?"
"If i knew, i wouldn't have asked you."
"Ok ok, you were shot, brain got confused, you went into subconscious mode, memory scattered, bod-"
"Wait!" Deilson cut in, "just tell me, did i actually kill people and stole the money?"
Kevin pause for a second, then let out a laugh. "Did you actually stole the money?"
"But... that's what everyone is saying..."
"I made it sound like that." Kevin stared outside.
"Wait, what you do you mean?"
Kevin let out a sigh. "You didn't stole any money, you were supposed to be dead... you were on a mission, back then, i would contact you quietly. You had a team, but they intended to kill you."
"W-what... a team...?"
"Yup, you had a team. You would follow them and do tons of missions."
"What kind of missions? Murder? Assassination? Robbery?"
"Calm down, not that kind of mission. More like rebel. Yes, assassination, but not you. You follow them, but you didn't kill."
"So... what exactly happened?"
Kevin sighed again. "Man, i hate explaining. Alright, first the team you were in were your friends, but then, a new guy joined it."
"And the new guy was the mole?"
"No, he was the devil. Funny thing is, you gave him the invitation."
"Wait why would i..."

The car was then being shot rapidly.
Both of them ducked as the windows broke.
"Deilson! Drive!!" Kevin screamed.
Deilson stepped on the gas pedal and drove off. Looking at the rear mirror, he saw three cars tailing them.
"What the hell!? Why are they shooting at us?"
"Deilson, did you check the list?"
"What? What list?"
"Bloody hell i gave you the list in you phone damn it! Why didn't you check it!?" Kevin shouted at him.
Deilson could only respond with a smirk.
"Just me the damn phone!"

The car took multiple shots as it race downtown. Kevin checks Deilson's phone. He found a list of gang members, fixers, hitmans and other assassins.
"What the hell is that?" Deilson asked.
"A list. Seems like we got fixers."
"Fixers?"
"Everyone wants us dead."
"Wait what? Why!?"
"Don't know, but ever since you got into jail, bounty hunters want us dead. I don't know who's paying, but the reward is crazy high."
Kevin kept the phone in his pocket and took out a gun from the dashboard. He opens the window and was about to aim, until the car hit a bumper and Kevin dropped the gun. He went inside in silent.
Deilson looked confused. "What are you doing? I saw you taking out a gun, shoot them already!"
"I-i drop the gun..." Kevin said quietly.
Deilson took a moment to process. "WHAT THE F_CK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Deilson scream at the top of his lungs.
"Shut up! I haven't finished my reboot and my brain isn't working properly!" Kevin defended himself.

"Shut up! I haven't finished my reboot and my brain isn't working properly!" Kevin defended himself

Deilson took a turn as the citizens saw the wild cat and mouse race. Kevin saw one man taking out an AK47 and started shooting. The tyre was shot and Deilson lost control. The car spin and finally stop in the middle of the road, in front of a school. Deilson and Kevin crawled out and hid at the side of the car.
The other three car stopped as a group of men walked out and shot the car over and over again.

Deilson saw students running away from the scene. Damn it, if this doesn't end soon, people are gonna get hurt. "Kevin, how are we gonna face them? You got any weapon?"
"Did you had amnesia? Cause i just drop the only gun i had."
"Well, can't you use your fox powers or something?"
Kevin gave an offended looked.
"Sorry, just asking if..."
"I have abilities, but my brain haven't finish rebooting."
Suddenly, the shooting stopped. A man took two steps forward. "There's nowhere to run. Just give yourself out!"
Deilson whispered to Kevin. "What do you mean 'haven't finish rebooting'?"
"I overuse my abilities and that kinna crack up my brain and i had to reboot but it'll take longer than yours."
"How long?"
"Hmm... a month"
"Are you shiting me?" Deilson tried to hold his voice low.
A man signaled one of them to check.
Deilson tried to think of something. "How about me? Do i have any... abilities?"
"Well, you've reboot but not fully. We're evolved humans, it's hard to keep up with the changes. I'm not sure."
Deilson noticed a school, it's not fully empty but there's alot of places to hide in the building.
"I can do close combat but i need to get in the school."
"You're crazy! You'll get innocent people killed." Kevin rejected the idea.
"You have a better idea?"
Kevin's ear twitched as he heard footsteps getting closer. He quickly tackled the man with his tail, grabbed him to the floor and threw a punch.
"Here's my idea, your brain's reboot time is lower than mine cause you need less than a week to reboot and i need a month. That means most of your brain is working properly than mine."
"Wait, didn't you said you haven't finish reboot? What about me? Doesn't it mean i'm also haven't fully reboot?"
"I only had five minutes while you had a nice thirty minutes sleep while i drive and avoid being caught."
Deilson still didn't understand how brain reboot works and Kevin could see right through him.
"Just take the gun and shoot!" Kevin grabs the assault rifle and hand it to Deilson.
