On the dark hallway of the school, stood the student as dark as the hallway Jason Dean, waiting for someone to show up. He had been there for over 10 minutes, and by that point he had already took out his cigarettes and lighten one to smoke.

Normally he would have already ditch this meeting even before planning it, but the guy knew something that could not only put himself on trouble but his sweet Veronica too. The smoke traveled through all the air around the corner of the dark hallway, he remembered how Veronica and him used to hide between lockers and hallways to smoke for an hour, a disconnection from all the world, just the two of them and the smoke that flew between their lungs and then far far away to the sky.

"Smoking is bad for your lungs" He heard an annoying now familiar voice at his side. His head turned around to find the figure of Daniel with arms crossed and annoyed look. "What do you want?" JD wanted to finish this, the guy said he could help him, something he was very skeptical of, but he really didn't had a choice.

"Follow me" Daniel simply answered as he started walking slowly. JD's eyebrow arched and the dressed on black teenager followed him, one hand on his pocket were a gun safely rested.

After getting out of the school building, they both arrived at a mini market, definitely not a Seven Eleven. The guy started going behind the rather small building, into a place covered with green trees, Jason followed him, his hand clenching the gun full of bullets.

"Well well, look what the wind brought" A female voice echoed from the dark side of the back of the store, where all the trees covered the place from even the smallest ray of light.

"Hello Caro" An indifferent voice came from Daniel, as he approached the dark corner of the place. "Who do you brought with you?" JD now found that the voice had somewhat of an accent, though it wasn't really noticeable on her voice.

"This is my friend JD, let's say he needs your services" JD'S eyes widened and his body tensed. "I don't need anyone's services" His voice grew disgusted, just thinking about the action made his gut twist and puke.

The female voiced laughed and her figure appeared out of the shadows. A tall girl, almost as tall as JD stood, her hair was dark chocolate, and her skin was a little bit lighter than her hair, her eyes were black as night and she wore a dark blue hoodie with a pair of jeans.

"It's not that kind of service silly" She left out a giggle and extended her hand, a wide smile forming on her face "My name is Carolina, but you can call me Caro, I'm Daniel's girlfriend" JD reached out her hand and shook it, still at the defensive at this place and this people.

"This is the guy I talked you about, you know? Sherwood? Oh-" He was cut by the raspy but no unpleasant voice of the female. "I know who he is" She said mockingly to his boyfriend to then change her view to JD. "A quite interesting and romantic story, cutting off all the murder and stuff" She laughed at her own comment and covered her mouth.

"Excuse me?" Said the lost boy on a coat, as he was given no explanation to this situation. "I said I would help you, didn't I?" Said the annoying but now familiar voice of Daniel, as he pointed towards the girl's body. "She is a psychologist, or at least, on her tutoring to be it" He explained to the boy meanwhile Carolina smiled at him. "I understand what you have been through, and I might be able to help" She finally spoke as she place a hand on JD'S shoulder.

His expression grew annoyed and insulted as he shove away the hand and backed away. "Understand it? Are you kidding me? You don't even know a half of it" He furiously shouted to both figures besides him. "I was there too" She blandly said to him, as she took a step closer to him. "I killed someone back at my home country, no one ever knew it was me." She looked at the ground and took a deep breath, to the continue. "I met someone who did the role I do now, that person has sadly left us, but they left a big impact on my mind, and I then proceed to follow their steps" She looked back at JD withe a straight sight. "Criminals of all kinds, thieves, betrayers, pirates, illegal sellers, murderers, I have talked to all kinds of people that search redeem from the sins they have caused. JD believe me, you are not the worst case that I have seen, I believe you still have salvation" Her tone was harsh at first, but it grew softer and kinder with time.

JD'S eyes were wide open, not sure why that was the case. He sighed and looked to both individuals his face growing serious once again. "There is no salvation for me, and even if there was, there's no point trying to achieve it, there is nothing for me in that life or any other" He finally spoke, flashbacks of the mistakes he made on Sherwood coming back to his mind. "What about Veronica?" The girl said, making her way closer to him. His eyes widened at her beautiful name, and a single tear appeared on his left eye to fall down to the ground.

"You want a life with your soul mate, don't you?" Carolina was looking very seriously to him, both of her hands on her hips, posing like the captain of a football team motivating the members. "She won't love me again" He disputed with the captain, the harm that he had done to her coming back to his mind, regret growing on his shadow. "Not if you are pathetic and unastable like this, but you recompone yourself, and you'll be able to be the man she deserves, isn't that what you want?" She said with a comanding tone to the dark boy in front of him.

"Look man, if you aren't going to do this for society or for yourself, do it for Veronica, do it for love" Daniel introduced himself into the conversation, adding the words that lighted something on JD. He never cared for himself, not to a deep extent at least, and less did he did towards a rotten society, but Veronica... he would travel sea and sky just to be with her, just to make her happy once again, just to see her radiant glory in all it's forms.

"For love..." JD gently whispered to him, looking down to the grown, to then close his eyes and find the image of his angel, his princess, his Veronica. They could be together once again, they would be happy, they would love each other, they would have a life with each other, and he just had to fix the damage. "Ok.... I'll do it" He gently said toward the two young ones, to then rise his look to him and find happy proud smiles on their faces. For God.
