There's music blaring all over the place from the giant speakers placed in the two corners of the room attached to the stereo at the far end of the room gunshot sound is coming from the T.V with a man's voice speaking English with a French accent Nick is sitting on a couch facing the T.V with a game pad on his hand he's wearing a singlet with a pair of shorts there's open pizza box on the coffee table in front of him beer bottles all over the place clothes and pieces of paper are scattered all over there's un washed dishes on the counter the place is huge but a complete pigsty the windows are closed in the air conditioned room. He's pressing the buttons on the pad very aggressively like he's the man in the video game doing the killing. Gam! Gam! Gam! the knock on the door startled making him jump up the couch a little "who is it" he shouts from where he is sitting there's another knock without on the door this time a little less louder than the first time he pause the game and stand up dancing his way to the door as the music keep playing he walks toward the door singing along;

".....Oh don't you dare look back just put your eyes on me I said you're holding back...."

He picked up the stereo remote on the floor before reaching the door he pauses the music and open the door to see an angry Mr. Johnson the middle age man living across from his apartment he's a short man his face covered in beard wearing a robe Nick sighs when he sees him "what is it now Mr. J" Nick asked annoyed "you're playing that dam music again I'm babysitting my nephews and they can't sleep with that much noise disturbing them I need you to please keep it down and I thought I told you to stop calling me Mr. J Nick" "well I like it Mr J it suits you well" replied Nick condescendingly "Its my name and I think I have the right to make you stop calling me that" "and It's my mouth I have the right to say anything with it" Mr Johnson look at Nick for a few second shakes his head and said "Okay Just please keep it down" Nick smiles arrogantly and said "Okay Mr J."

He closed the door locked it and press play and reduce the volume not enough to make any difference he continue dancing as he make his way back to the couch he sits down picked up the remote but another knock on the door stops him from un pausing his game this time more gentle but it still frustrate Nick he stand up quickly and rush to the door he opens it and shout "What" "Oh it's you" it's was Nick best friend Alex "whats up with you" ask Alex "I thought it was Mr J" "who's that" Alex ask again "Mr J my neighbour" "Oh Mr Johnson, I thought he asked you not to call him that" "he did" then why are you still calling him Mr J ?" "because I like it" "Right" said Alex Nick turns around "come on in and locked the door I have a feeling he's coming back" Alex locks the door behind asking "why will Mr J I mean Mr Johnson come back" "who knows" he sits back down on the couch and continue playing the game Alex walks to the Refrigerator and pick a beer "you want one" he asked "sure" Nick replied "what are you playing?" asked Alex starring intensely at the television "the order" "what is it about?" "some French cult group dealing with vampires and werewolves its awesome" said Nick "it's looks awesome" Alex replied as he hand Nick a bottle of beer and takes a seat next to Nick before he could get comfortable there's another knock on the door again "I told you he'd be back" said Nick "how'd you know its him" Alex asked as he walk towards the door with a beer bottle on his hand he opened the door and saw Mr. Johnson Nick just laughs smugly and continue his game "Can I help you" Alex asked Mr Johnson "Please we need to sleep KEEP IT DOWN" before Alex could talk Nick jumps in I like the music like this so if I want to..." Alex cut him off before he could finish "we'll turn it down sir sorry" Mr Johnson kept looking at Alex "Or you mean now" Alex walks to the couch picked up the remote from Nick and turns the music off Nick just shakes his head and turn his head back at the screen "Thank you" said Mr Johnson Alex just nods and close the door behind him "why do you have to be difficult all the time he's a grown man show some respect" asked Alex "HEY!
