FU KIM Restaurant, Front Room
Bellaire Chinatown, DIHO Mall

For Carlos, the moment seems to drag on for minutes. He hears the glass shatter and jumps at the noise, but everything becomes blurry. He feels a thump, almost like a child hitting him with a toy, almost otherworldly. Reflexively, he shoves backwards in his chair with his arms and good leg, sending himself to the ground. Then the pain hits.

Flashback to ten years earlier. He's lying in the grass. There's so much blood. His mama and tia are screaming. The pain has started to go away. He's tired. Then there's lots of lights. People telling him not to go to sleep, just keep breathing in this tube. The tube doesn't taste very good.

Back to the resteraunt. Imagining the breathing tube snaps Carlos back to the present. He's been shot. Need to stop the bleeding.

"Kit...in my car," he manages to squeeze out between clenched teeth, pulling his keys from his jacket as he drags himself behind the table and chair.

Carlos drops to prone as a free action, draws his keys, and attempts to take full cover behind the table.

Police Station
Fifth Ward
3:56pm

"Well, you're free now," a gruff not so pleasent voice echoed in the jail cell. "Go to the desk, git your stuff and get out of here. I don't wanna see you back here again, do ya here me, girl? No more picking up johns."

The huge woman that spoke, stood at the door of the jail cell, ready to lead the young woman inside out. If she stepped inside, the police officer would probably take the whole room up. The cell itself was too bad, for something that hadn't looked like it had been cleaned in the recent decade.

She gestured with one beefy paw for the girl inside to head over to the desk sergeant to get a box of her things.

OOC: Timothy, you're up next! dont' forget to put the heading on top of your post and take off your sig when you post. Thanks!

"Hi there," T-Bull said, resting his foot on the first step of the building and crouching down. "Do you know if Mr. Mayes is here?" he asked, smiling slightly at the little girl.

"I don't know nothin'," the kid responded defensively, backing up slightly at seeing three men approach her. "I ain't seen anybody or anything." She glanced from side to side, looking as if she was going to start running any moment, those dark young eyes having seen enough on the streets to make them look fifty years older.

"We don't mean any harm, little lady," Lamar offered. "We just wanted to say hello to Mr. Mayes."

The little girl stared at them all for a long minute before her eyes widened, finally recognizing T-Bull by reputation. "You the watch people?" Another second passed as she confirmed it again with her eyes. "You are! You are the watch people!" she spoke excitedly jumping around, hugging her doll to her chest.

"Daddy's inside," she spoke without giving any of them a chance to speak and then disappeared into the tenement building.

Misty steps out of the Station, barely keeping her anger at the policemen in check. "Could have gotten out earlier, if only that stupid policemen wasn't so loyal to his wife. normally they're all in for a good rubbin between the legs. Well, back to the streets it is let's see if I can get some money for another place to sleep.

OOC: Does Misty know T-bull, Lamar and Malcom? Or the little girl or Johnson? I think she'll go to one of her friends/collegues and go check on Mr. Mayes if she knew the Girl and heears the news.

Police Station, Outside
Fifth Ward
4:15pm

By the time Misty gets out of the station, after going through all kinds of paperwork to get her things, its much later. The streets are full of the usual, although outside the police station there are noticiably less troublemakers. Mostly officers milling about chatting, and about to go home or go on shift.

A couple of other prostitutes have been let out and they are making their way back to their business territory again to start another evening of hard work. Most of them looked as if their time in the station was the first time they've ever had food in their belly and a chance to sleep peacefully, free from their pimps or violent johns.

OOC: Where do you want to go?

4.30 P.M

Misty Talks to some of her colleagues, and from one them she hears the tragic story of little girl Mayes, she immediately decides to head over to Mayes house. She arrives their 15 minutes later. While walking, she wears her clothes more or less fashionable, although this doesn't give a very good result. When she arrives at the building she first goes to the Girl.

OOC: Off to work now, Cya'll tonight

"Well, what do you make of that?" Malcolm asks, as he takes a casual glance around. He wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of the jv gang kids running to report what they saw or heard. "Guess we should go inside and talk to Mr. Mayes."

Malcolm steps inside the tenement and waits for a few seconds - to let his eyes adjust to the change in light. Then his eyes water as he gets a good whiff of the odor of the tenement.
