The streets were filled with others walking around, minding their own business like there wasn't gunshots going off in the distance. However they do that, I don't know. I had to drive myself through the crowds. It was probably the hardest thing I've done today. I hate being stuck in crowds. There's just something about them that's unsettling to me. Maybe because I'm a hardcore introvert.
Anyways, I had to get there as soon as I can. I couldn't afford to be tardy again, for the fourth time in a row, yes I counted. I would've just flew over the crowd, but I was just a bit too lazy to do so. Plus, it would increase my chances of getting shot out of the sky.
There was no time for saying "Excuse me" or "Pardon me". I raced through the horde as fast as I could possibly go on two legs. I could also see some of them look at me in the eye with a curious look, then jump out of my way. But why?
Did I somehow commit an accidental scandal? I wouldn't be shocked if that was why I was receiving funny looks from total strangers. I'll admit I've stolen things before, but calm down. I had to do it. While the war was somewhat tame two years ago, I stole back five-hundred dollars worth of jewelry. All because someone by the name of Belladonna surrendered it to the mob troops, and begged me to retrieve it a week later. Couldn't help but rethink that who situation in my head.
I was so focused on that two-year old dilemma, I tripped on a rock and fell onto my face. As I got up, I determined that I had found my group.
