Hi, I'm Cameron Cooper. Your average down on his luck guy in his early twenties trying to get his life together. Problem is when you fall in with the wrong crowds, it's hard to get out.

This is a short story about one of the normally nameless grunts you see all the time in action movies.
One morning, Cameron gets a text from his friend about a job offer. Something simple that will pay well. But everything about this job has Cameron on edge. What has he got wrapped up in now?

The Hours We Have
❝I think we've lost the meaning of family.❞ • • • A few years ago, we tragically lost our parents, and every day since then, my brothers and I have drifted apart. We have intense defense mechanisms and our own methods of survival in the adult world. Our house feels less like home, the city feels empty, and the stars seem more distant. Will we be able to heal as a family? Or will we go our separate ways as adults? ▫▫▫▫ ▫▫▫▫ ▫▫▫▫ Cover is made by me.

High & Low | Crystal Rain
Before Smoky lived on the Nameless Street, P & his family moved there. His parents taught the kids of the street the values of family & survival until they suddenly passed. As a young kid growing up on the Street, P's sister knew them as well as any Rude Boy. One day while trying to help children escape a kidnapping she is taken instead. 5 years later, there's still no sign of her until P spots a girl at the Fight on the Container Street that looks like his sister. Only, this girl has no memory of him or the Rude Boys & further more claims to be Rocky's younger sister? Watching all seasons & movies will help you enjoy the story more as you'll be able to recognize more scenes not as elaborated on, characters, Easter eggs etc. especially in later chapters. It's not required & you can still understand & enjoy the story I try & keep characters as close to in character and their original personalities & plot while adding more background & behind the scenes to those we don't hear a lot of in the original material (specially in earlier chapters) Update: A/N & annot. will now be in the comments, to keep the look of chapters cleaner. Story is my own creation, inspired from High&Low. I've had it in the back of my head for a while, since Jan. 2020 & writing here began Mar.-Apr. 2021. So if by chance resembles another fan-fiction you have previously read, I apologize & kindly ask for a link so I can make sure I have time to change my ideas so future plot points aren't the same/similar. Disclaimer: I don't own HiGH&LOW characters, plots, images etc. only original characters I personally created for this story. These rights go the creators of this world EXILE HIRO & other producers, writers, directors & actors of the project/franchise. I don't make any profit & purely written as a fan of the franchise. I wish to keep rights to my original designs that aren't found in the source material. Please ask before using them in your own material. Pc: HiGH&LOWComplete
