"Hell yeah, but the pizza place was a good idea. I don't know why you're dissing it," Percy complained. Gangs always set up their base of operation in car garages and dumb places. Pizza was way more useful and he thought it probably paid better too. Steal a car? Who cared. Everyone loved pizza! But then, his cousin always said he was the dumbest of the lot and would only laugh now, which made Percy want to defy his logic even more.

Still beaming, he started to walk again, his longer legs naturally picking a fast pace as if he couldn't wait to get this gang started. He only had high hopes in his head now, not the least bit concerned by the past. He felt for the first time in his life, he might be something right.

As they disappeared down the street, almost to neutral territory, a figure that could have been male or female paused to watch the two men pass by. They were too wrapped up in their conversation to keep their voices down or notice strangers walking home from a night shift. The figure hummed to themself and wrapped their pink, furred coat tighter around themself. Strange people, but cute at least. Tossing their charcoal colored hair over a shoulder, they continued their walk again.
