Kane rammed the old man to the ground.Luke took out the goodies in his coat and then gave it to Josh who laughed. "Please don't take my coat." The old man said. "It gets cold at night."Zack shuddered looking at the other prisoners. His dad told him never to fight in the playpen because he always got in trouble. And so he let people bully him to keep him out of trouble. He clenched his fists.He had the desire to play it safe and let things happen or ensure his safety by making things happen. The external factor is the old man. He wasn't sure he could do it, but his eyes were glassy, it was up to him now."Hey, Kane, I'm not your calf, I'm done being pushed around." He poised with his fists out and he threw a few swings and the group of people focused on him. One of them grinned.Reggie folded his arms with a cigarette in his mouth. "This boy is dumb." Zack eyed him. He was playing between what was expected of him and how to switch things up.He just wasn't sure if he could take hi

Reggie rubbed his mouth. "No! I don't want it to work you fucking dingus! I killed her lover, that's why I'm stuck here." He muffled instead of acting out violently, his hand shook on his alcohol. He looked like he was crying for help. He seemed like the kind of person that would kill for money too. "I can't...not again. Not ever.""Why don't you just give her a chance?""You don't know anything, she's a greedy woman just like the rest of them. I'd rather be here where everyone is looking out for themselves. At least the wankers are open about it. I like being in jail, this is my home. And booze makes me feel alive!""Shut up you dick!" An inmate shouted.Zack stood up. "This isn't your home. Maybe she has something vital to say."Reggie looked scarred. His eyes tilted. "I tried to please her and her family. She was kind, sweet and gentle, maybe greedy. I don't understand why she changed so drastically, she was mean tempered. She doesn't want any kids but I catch her staring at other

Zack paled when he realized he could have been chopped in half with a shotgun if he made any attempts to escape. They went further down the lane and he drifted to a narrow road scraping against the alley. "This ride is way too slow.""Merciful heavens. I've been using this baby since I was in college."They disengaged and they ducked at the shots running towards a bystander who was drinking a glass of soda. "Hey!" She said. "You can't just.""I'm a detective." She glanced at Zack as if to look for some amount of support. She let him take her car and her dog barked."We're just having another bad day, mittens."Conrad cursed, he put his car insurance at the back of his mind. He was laser focused on the road. The vans sped after them and he took the shortest routes he could remember. Zack changed into a black suit and Guard Dog barked. He heard ten pop noises and the vans stopped. The last van came after them and Conrad shot at the van, his gut wrenched at turning against the law. "Sh

Julie gasped at the cars on either side of them zipping further. "So Dexter, you're in the driver's seat huh? Did you kidnap him too?""No, he's actually sick. I'm just helping out." He said."Oh, that's why you're so pale." She rubbed her hair. Pulling back to the window.He hoped she didn't think it was contagious. She thought he had something else on his mind. She could feel it."Yes." Conrad said glad for the cover up. And the space."You really wanna go to jail? You're crazy, I love that!" Julie tapped her foot. "I suppose you're tired of all the shit that's been happening to you outside huh.Zack's eyes turned glassy under the lights. He was laser focused on the road and the theoretical road ahead. He was anxious. "Can we stop talking for a few minutes? And stop that."Julie's foot-tapping stopped. "I'm sorry, it's a nervous habit." She said drily.He was about to say something else. She quieted but looked like she was going to explode from not talking.Conrad glanced at Zack

She rushed to see Conrad who was sprawled on the floor in the ditch. "Conrad! Why did you leave him here?" She said to him with teary eyes.Zack was confused. "Conrad." He jumped in.They rented an apartment and Zack placed a towel to his head. Guard Dog's battery read 19%, he scanned Conrad and projected his X-ray to Zack on his visors in the dark. "He hasn't any broken limbs so he must have dropped and fainted. I shouldn't have left the car window open at night."She softened. Gazing at her nails."The cold must have triggered his sickness." He nudged Zack to pay attention.Then he glitched. HE HAS SADZack saw it. Maybe he had a glitch again. Perhaps it was a funny language for him. Was he sad or was Conrad sad? He glanced at him sleeping.Guard Dog detected that Zack's serotonin, testosterone, and dopamine levels (which were happy hormones ) were dropping.He was drained and he couldn't help crying. Sometimes he didn't entertain unwanted emotions for so long that they came pour
