Nick's POV

It seemed like another typical night of pickpocketing and robbery, but a strange rumor apparently has been spreading around town about someone new coming to Seanford. It seemed so ignorant, (why would anyone bother coming to this god forsaken town?) I thought to myself, i wondered about the reason for a visitor, eventually i just gave it up and went on with my day.
Within a few hours i heard the beating sound of a helicopter rotor, i, along with a few others, looked up to see a helicopter going in for a landing on one of the taller buildings. I couldn't believe the rumor was true, i knew whoever this was most likely carried valuables, meaning i needed to get to them before anyone else did. I headed towards that building in the least suspicious way possible, but by the time I got there, there were already a few people waiting. I was a bit frustrated but continued to stay calm and collective, thats when the front doors opened, and out stepped a somewhat short man who clearly didn't belong in such a town. He walked out with two other men, one seemingly a cameraman, and the other seemingly a bodyguard. (Shit, he came prepared) i thought to myself, i then noticed the shorter man had a small microphone attached to his shirt which was seemingly supposed to be hidden under his jacket. I pieced it together fairly quick that he was a reporter, him and his small crew then began to leave the safety of the building and left for the streets. I followed from a distance, making sure i didn't lose them while staying undetected, they were recording and the reporter was talking about how this town needs help. I found this funny, how could someone be so naive as to come to the most dangerous town just for a story on the news? How much are they paying this idiot?
I followed them for what felt like hours before they finally stopped at a news van, the bodyguard was just about to unlock the van when some guys from one of the gangs nearby walked over to them. "hello gentlemen, may i help you?" The report spoke with a gentle smile, i held back the laughter, (how stupid is this guy?) I questioned myself. The members of the gang seemed to find it just as amusing as i did, one of which pulled out a pocket knife. The bodyguard stepped in before things got too serious, but before he could do anything one of the gang members ran passed him and at the reporter. The reporter quickly ran away, i was surprised at how fast he was, but it wasn't too bright to leave his only safety.

Tabby's POV

After a long day of working on this case for the story of Seanford, getting chased was the last thing i neeeded, but i couldn't really think about that right now, i needed a place to hide. I noticed an alleyway coming up, so i took my chances and made a sharp turn into the dark alley, there i hide behind a dumpster. I heard the man walk into the alley, but it seemed as if he left, i let out a sigh of relief as i then stood up, but that relief was quickly taken as felt what seemed like a gun press against my back. I froze still in fear, i then heard the voice of the gunman speak, "give me any valuables you have" i went silent for a few seconds knowing i had nothing on me but the microphone. He harshly nudged me with the gun, "hurry up" he urged me, "u-um.. sorry to disappoint you sir, but i dont have anything" he seemed to get annoyed with this. "You're lying, get against the wall" i did as i was told, though didn't feel as fearful as i should, but i believe there is good in everyone, and that includes him. He began to search me for anything that could get him money, i didn't fight back or argue, i just let him search knowing he'd find nothing. He seemed to get frustrated as he forced me to face him and held the gun to my forehead, "i know you have things, is it in that truck?" He asked with a harsh attitude, i simply replied, "you've made two mistakes" he seemed puzzled, so i continued. "one being you showed me your face, two, its not a truck, its a van"

Nick's POV

I couldn't believe it, i couldn't tell if he was being serious or not, despite him being right it only caused me to be more frustrated. "I can easily blow your brains out if i wanted to" i said, which he responded with "im still alive aren't i?" I was very confused as to why he was acting like this, he didn't seem to be trying to annoy me, he seemed very genuine, which only caused more confusion. I held my finger on the trigger, "you aren't very bright are you?" I asked, "im just telling the truth" he responded. I then thought to myself, (he's right, he knows my face, so i cant let him leave. Maybe i could get some use out of him, possibly a ransom? I could always kill him after i get the money) I then noticed he was looking into my eyes, "what?" I asked, he smiled and said "i like your eyes" i let out an annoyed sigh and put my gun away, i couldn't tell if he was trying to sweet talk me out of hurting him or if he was just being himself. "You're gonna be staying with me for a while, got it?" Before he could object, i grabbed his arm and began walking away with him, to which he responded with trying to pull his arm away from me, obviously failing due to him being weaker than me. "Hey!" He yelled, i grabbed him and shoved him against the wall of the alleyway, holding him above the ground, "shut up, if you get me caught I'll make sure you'll never be able to speak again" i said, strangely, he didn't seem bothered by my threat, instead he seemed to he holding back a giggle. "Whats so funny?" He regained his composure and spoke with that same annoying smile, "im just saying, that was a fairly weak threat, at least give some thought to it if you want to scare me" he was getting on my last nerve. I let go of him, letting his feet touch the ground again, "just stay low or I'll cut a finger off or something" i said as i left the alleyway with him, he seemed to be more cooperative now.
