(F/N POV)

I was standing in the wrestling manager's office to collect my money. I had my mask off. He put 10,000 yen on the desk to give to me as he continued to count his money. I took it and looked at him as he continued to count his money. He saw that I was reluctant to leave.

Manager: "Now get the hell outta here."

F/N: "10,000 yen? The ad said 300,000 yen."

Manager: "Check it again, web-head. It said 300,000 for 3 minutes. You pinned him in 2. For that, I give you 10,000 and you're lucky to get that."

I was kinda pissed. I spoke again, more sternly this time.

F/N: "This is a bunch of crap, man. I need that money."

Manager: "I missed the part where that's my problem. You're lucky I let a kid like you participate in the first place."

I scoffed and walked away, opening the office door to leave. As I did some guy came in to the office. I simply walked passed him and went down the hall to the elevator. Might as well just wait for Uncle Ken now. What a waste of time this was. I hit the elevator button, but I heard some commotion from inside the manager's office. Just as the elevator door was opening, the same guy that entered the office ran out, with a bag full of money this time. He was running in my direction towards the elevator.

Manager: "Hey! He stole the money!"

A security guard came out.

Guard: "Stop that guy!"

The manager and the guard were yelling at me now to stop the thief, but I couldn't care less whether he robbed the place or not. I moved aside and let the thief into the elevator to escape. He looked at me as the door was closing.

Thief: "Thanks."

The door closed and he was gone. The security guard was there a second later. He turned to me.

Guard: "What the hell's a matter with you? You let him go!"

He ran back down the hall and called to another guard.

Guard: "Cut him off in the lobby, then call the cops!"

Now the manager was in front of me.

Manager: "You could've taken that guy apart. Now he's gonna get away with my money."

F/N: "I missed the part where that's my problem."

I was kinda being a dick to be honest.

The manager walked away and I called the elevator again to get out of there. I grabbed my sweathshirt before I did.

---Cut to the street by the library--

It was dark out now and I was on my way back towards the library where Uncle Ken would pick me up. I hope he wasn't waiting for me. It would be a little hard to explain why I was down the street from the library instead of inside it. Cop cars with their sirens blaring whizzed by on the street next to where I was walking. In fact a few pulled over by the library and there was a crowd around there. Wait...wasn't that where I was supposed to wait for my uncle. The crowd continued to grow and the police tried to keep them in line. It sounded like there was some kind of victim. I was beginning to worry at this point, but I didn't see Uncle Ben or his car anywhere.

Police Officer: "Everybody, give him some room."

Stranger #1: "What happened?"

Stranger #2: "Someone got hurt. Some kind of carjacker."

I was walking towards the crowd, getting more and more nervous as I got closer. I was scared. In fact, I think I was shaking. I started to push my way through the crowd to see who was injured, hoping, praying it wasn't what kept popping into my brain. I finally made it to the center of the crowd where a police officer was keeping everyone back from the victim. I leaned in and I saw it...the last thing I wanted to see.
