I pull the trigger and a distinctive click sounds. I begin chuckling. "Know any places around here I can get some coffee?"

          I frown slightly as the gun wasn't loaded, but slowly rise to my full height, "My place is jus' down there, come on den."

I quickly sit up and stand, begining to follow him. "My friend, why are you so generous? It reminds me of my home country. It seems everyone here would like to kill me.."

          "Th' people here don' take kind to men like ya', dressed nice n' seemin'ly defenseless.  I'm not th' kinda man to do so, so cruel."

"Coincidence meeting you then. My name's Alexander, Alex for short."

I yell to Maxwell.
"This woman's making us pay rent, so when you're done putting on the womans clothes, get down here and we're leaving!"

"Coincidence meeting you then. My name's Alexander, Alex for short."
          "M' name's Kibwe.  Y' know 'n'body 'rund 'ere?"

"No.. I was sent here to... do an undisclosed task."

I came back in my underpants and undershirt. "We're picking up clothes on the way there, she has nothing in my size."

I had driven over to Bright Annex and decided to patrol other places of the district. Things were a little different here than in Goodyear. Oh well. I continued on my patrol. Every-now-and-then i'd see a group of guys with some type of clothing, like saggy pants or a jersey over their sweater. Of course I was in one of the bad parts of town. Most of the gang members or mostly everybody kept on staring at me until I was gone. Soon, I began to pass one apartment row when I saw two guys at a doorstep. I slowed my car down immediately whenever passing their house and stared at the guy in the suit and some other guy. I focused mainly on the guy in the suit though.

I came back in my underpants and undershirt. "We're picking up clothes on the way there, she has nothing in my size."
"Hm, I wonder why?"
I hopped into the stuffty sedan Anna gave us and began to drive to a clothing store. I abruptly stopped and pulled over and turned to Maxwell. "How are we going to pay for new clothes?"

"We're not. I'm going to walk in, put them on, and walk out."

I glance carefully back at the passing officer, "We almost there friend?"

I reach for my radio. "Code 5." I continued to watch the two.

I clear my throat, nervously eyeing the squad car. I take a business card out of my wallet and force it into Kibwe's hand, putting my hand over his, "My friend, I must leave. I have business to attend to. We go drinking sometime no? Call me whenever. I'll be in town for a while." I quickly smile, nod, and begin fast walking away.
