I walk over, and pick up my wallet, checking the contents.  I hold it up in plain sight, "There's not even any money in it you dumb bitch."


I take a good look at her face, dirtied and bruised.  I grunt, my soft-hearted side getting the better of me, "Let her up..." I mutter to Alex.

"Come on, we've got stuff to do." I say, giving the girl a light kick, then walking back upstairs.

Nicoletta grunts and attempts to run away.

I walk back to my car, lighting a cigarette.  I take a look inside my wallet, taking out a large, heavy looking coin.  I examine it, stopping for a second, chuckling to myself, shaking my head.  I return it to my wallet, and continue walking back to my car.

"Hey, where you going?" I say from the balcony, shirtless.

"To w- aw, god damnit," I sprint back toward Nicoletta, gaining on her quickly.

Horatio looks down to his watch, then to Ted and says, "I don't suppose you can take out those friends are Riders Church, do you?" Ted shakes his head lightly, still watching the TV. Horatio sighs and takes out his cellphone and dials a number, "Alex, I need you to go and take out some starfishs at Riders Church, they stole some of my weed and I need 'em dead... You can borrow some men, you can meet up with them at that Exo Liquor store or whatever near my place, you in?"

Miko Alex btw.

"Yeah, I'll be right over." I grab my jacket and pour some coffee and I start to walk down the street.

"Yeah, I'll be right over." I grab my jacket and pour some coffee and I start to walk down the street.

"Good, I'll be sending my boys over shortly." Horatio ends the call and looks back, "I want 5 stuff heads to meet up with Alex at the Exo Liquor store!" A few men argue at 3 others walks out with crowbars and 2 with Glocks, heading to the Exo Liquor.

Backstory*: Most of Jerry's life was spent with a loving family in a sky-rise apartment amidst the sprawling financial district. Throughout his life, Jerry would often run up and down the sidewalk outside his home and race cars. He would never win, but eventually gained enough strength to outrun his neighbor Randall. When the two were 15, they took up freerunning and parkour. Jerry promised his family when he was 17 after Randall fell from a rooftop and snapped his neck. But Jerry couldn't bear losing the satisfaction of feeling the wind on his face and ran from home. After a year, he was apprehended by police on two counts of aggravated battery after beating a purse snatcher. Jerry was turned back over to his parents, and when he was 19, moved out into his own apartment. He wouldn't neglect his hobby of freerunning and still roams the streets late at night.

I fiddled with a bottle cap in my hand, turning it over and over. The gangbangers had hardly grabbed my attention before, due to the mere fact that what they did wasn't my business. Today, I noticed the commotion within the alley and sat on a building to watch. The whine of the air conditioners around me drowned out the voices, but I could make out a yelp from the homeless girl they had cornered. Many times I had considered giving her some money, many times I had neglected her. She was a troublemaker, but these guys were starfishs anyway.

Before tossing the bottle cap, I looked at it. It was from my favorite cherry soda and had a high metal content. No doubt would it make a considerable amount of noise. I raised my arm to toss it when the men let up. "Let her go.." I heard over the din, and I shoved the bottle cap back into my pocket. I began to turn away before the girl ran around the corner of the alley and out onto the street. I stepped backward before running forward to gain momentum and leaping over the alley. I continued to run on top of the buildings parallel to the street.

I greet the men at the liquor store, "Hey boys." I put a cigarette in my mouth, "Someone fill me in with some detail." I strike a match and light my smoke.

One man approaches Alex, "Basically these guys, 4 of 'em came in here and decided to sneak out with our coke. The idiots at the door got high on it and let 'em in. So they walked out with our coke and the only person who wasn't tripped up couldn't do anythin'. A local ho' said she saw 4 guys sneak in packets into Riders Church. We gotta go in there, kill 'em and get the coke back. Ya' see?"

I exhale my smoke, "Yeah, let's go. You guys packin'?"
