  Okay, that's it. No one skips Eminem! I walked over to where Greg was with that old radio from the 80's. He sat at the counter with his head down. His two fingers kept on messing with the little knob that switches channels. Grey hair was all over the place, smelt like trash, and with a drink in his hand. Dude has gotta be around his 50's. I leaned over the counter a little and poked his shoulder. He lifted his head up and looked at me with groggy eyes. Well, one groggy eye. His right wooden eye was looking somewhere to the left. Kinda hard to take him seriously.

  "Listen Lady! Hii *hic*! How ya doin'?"

  I gave him a dry smile. "Hi Greg. I'm a little annoyed right now. You know why?"

  Greg pointed a finger towards the ceiling. "Cause there's a *hic* pink rabbit going around and eating everyone's carrots."

  "..." I looked left,  then right. "The hell? Where did you hear that?"

  Greg pointed a shaky finger towards one of the bikers in the corner. "Is *hic* one of 'em."

  ".... Right, okay. Anyway, no. That is not why I'm annoyed. Do you know what you skipped?"

  Greg looked at the radio. His fingers were still on the channel knob. Greg turned it to another channel. "I think *hicit was Machine Gun Kelly."

  "MacHIne gUn KElly?! I can-"

  "So Mr. Borg, I heard that the ninja themselves are gonna be building more of their towers all over the city. Not just in the Northside, but all around the city this time. Viewers are itching to figure out why the ninja are doing this. Can you answer why?" Gale Gossip asked.

  Towers? I know I heard Jo Jo talking about some tower in the North side, but I just thought it was some phone tower. And the ninja are building it all over the city? I wonder why.p

  "Why don't you ask the ninja themselves that question." Cyrus said. Then he whispered, "go to channel 5."

  Greg had his head back on the counter again. I quickly shook his arm. "Greg wake up! Go to channel 5!"

  Greg's head shot up. He looked around and rubbed his eyes. I snapped my fingers in front of his face to get his attention. "Hey! Back over here man."

  Greg looked at me and smiled. "Eeyy! Listen Lady *hic*! How you doing?"

  I grabbed his arms and shook him. "Channel 5, Greg! Go to channel 5!"

  I then let go of him. He looks dazed for a sec before looking at the radio. He then turned the knob back a few notches. Greg's head fell back back onto the counter. A small snore could be heard. I turn it up a bit to tune him out. I leaned against the counter with both of my arms on it. Giving the radio my full attention.

  "So, ninja. Care to explain?"

  A slightly muffled voice came through. "Yes. Is everyone aware about the tower at the edge of the city?"
