"Find her! I don't fucking care what it takes! Check underground clubs, hotels. Anywhere!" I yell at my men, slamming my fist down on my mahogany table. After 1 week of searching for Skylar, there's still not one piece of a fucking sign and it makes me mad because she disobeyed me. However, in the past week I have found out some very useful information about her that might benefit the both of us. My sweet, sweet fire. I will find you soon...

Skylar:

It's been a week since I ran away from his house. You're probably wondering why he hasn't found me as yet. Well, one of the things I learnt back in Japan was : always keep a fake ID. When I ran away from his house I traded Slade's bike for a Mini with a small car dealer.Luckily before I traded his bike, I found a whole stack of cash hidden in one of its compartments. Although I literally want to kick myself for leaving my things at his house including my 6 million dollar reward from the other nights fight. After that, I went to the nearest shop I could find to buy some decent clothes since I was still in Slade's hoodie and also to buy some clothes for tonights fight. Yep, this queen's still going to be fighting at illegal fights. Although I won't be doing it often because word spreads fast if you become the top dog in the ring. My plan of action is simple :Fight, make money, find a place to live, buy technological devices to find that murderer, kill him, get the hell back to Japan. Oh and avoid Lucas.

3 months later ...

Fang high fives me as we walk out with our 2 million dollar cash prize for the month.Oh Fang is my new girl bff, well actually the only girl bff I've ever had. She's pretty cool actually. She has electric blue hair that stops at her shoulders and she has a ton of piercings. She's got this bad girl/punk rock vibe about her. However, she's literally the most down to earth person I've ever met.
We met at my first illegal fight and we just clicked. She's also a really good fighter but I still beat her ass. She offered me to move in with her and what do you know, I agreed because there's no way Lucas will find me now. Plus her apartment is super modern and is actually situated about 15 minutes from Lucas' house. Although I think it works perfectly because he'll never think to look for me in his area. I haven't told Fang about Lucas or the reason why I'm actually here. Don't judge, I have trust issues.

"Oh come on Alex, you have literally turned it down every single week I ask you. Live a little!" she sighs as she holds her mascara brush in one hand and goes back to applying it. Okay so I may have also lied to her that my name is Alex. Fang has been begging me to come out with her and her friends for the past 3 months but I've turned it down because I want to remain on the low. However, I'm pretty sure Lucas has forgotten about me by now so what's the harm in going out just this once? "Fine, only this once." she let's out an excited scream. "... but on one condition, I get to choose my outfit." I tell her. She pouts "Oh come on! I had such a sexy outfit in mind for you. Can I at least do your make up? Pleasseee?? " I role my eyes at her, "Okay but you better not paint my face. I like the natural look."

1 hour and a thousand criticisms about my choice of outfit later...

"Are you sure I can't persuade you into wearing that short red dress I showed you?" Fang asks me as we get ready to leave. "Nope. I'm quite satisfied with my black ripped jeans,  black crop and black ankle boots." I give her one of my best smiles. "I really dig your outfit but trust me, when we get there you're going to wish you said yes to the red dress." I let out a laugh, "Mmmkay, we'll see. Where are we going anyway?" I question. "You'll see." Is all she's says with her mischievous smile. Please don't let me regret this decision.

We arrived at a club called "Eclipse". Heh never heard that name before. Judging by the exterior, it looks very expensive. To he honest I've never ever been to a club before. What have I gotten myself into? "Why didn't you tell me we're coming to a club??" I ask Fang in shock. "Girl, I told you you should have worn my red dress." she replies with a smirk. I just shake my my head.

"I don't care about fitting in. It's just that.. Well.. I.."
"Spit it out! Did you forget to carry condoms?" Fang questions. My eyes bulge out of my eye sockets.
"What! Noooo! OMG HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT." I cover my face. Geez this girl is something else. "I've never actually been to a club before." I let out sighing. Fang stares at me as if I've grown another eyeball. "Girl! What have you been doing with your life!" I open my mouth to answer but she cuts me off. "Don't worry. Fang to the rescue. I'll make sure you get drunk and laid tonight with some hot dude." My mouth falls open. "Are you insane? I can't just go around sleeping with some random guy!" I tell her.Fang stares at me pointedly. "You've never had sex before  have you?" she questions. "Well.." "OMG, I seriously have A LOT to teach you! " she let's out excitedly and drags me into the club past the bouncer who just nods his head at Fang. My eyebrows furrow in confusion. Aren't bouncers supposed to like...Check your ID or something? "Hey howcome he didn't -" "I come here often" is all she says. I let it go. Upbeat music fills my ears and the dance floor is already packed but I have to scrunch my nose in distaste because of all the smoke in the air and all the expensive alcohol reeking off people. My ears nearly explode when Fang let's out an excited scream. "Oooh there they are. Let's go!" she pulls me with her. I squint my eyes to get a better view of the table. As I get closer, the blue and purple lights illuminate a familiar face. I stop dead in my tracks as fang turns to look at me.My heartbeat speeds up and think it might explode out of my chest any minute. I try to find an escape route but it's too late. He already spotted me. The lights make his eyes look much darker and the smirk he gives me makes him seem even more sinister. Dammit Lucas, you finally beat me at my own game...
