"Terroriser?" Cartoonz whispers. A few moments went by and Cartoonz and Delirious look at each other with concern.

Both of them begin to get tense as if they heard a suspicious noise coming from the hallways.

It was silent and I didn't know what was going on. I didn't move and held my breath thinking I'll mess something up if I did any sudden movements.

Cartoonz rolls across the table and ran to the kitchen, grabbing a knife from its holder making my confusion grow even more. He got beside the door hiding behind the corner.

Groaning and grunting were heard behind the door before two small 'thuds'.

Cartoonz held the knife high as the suspense grew.

My heart was pounding in my ears as my anxiety rises.

Cartoonz blew out a breath and Delirious turn back towards the table, placing his hands on the side- back to thinking.

I stood there dumbfounded as Cartoonz walks towards the door and opens it.

Terroriser was standing over two bodies that were dress in black.

"Night Crew is here" Terroriser inform and Delirious came back to reality and walks up to them.

"Explains the black instead of the rainbow colors" Cartoonz walk towards the bodies with Delirious, dragging them inside.

Delirious goes back to his stance, hands on the side of the table and his head hanging low. It was like he knew what to do before even asking anyone.

"I spotted at least 20 Soldiers making my way up here" Terroriser explains

"Why is Night Crew? How did they know we are here? Does the 'rainbow' have it or Night Crew?" Questions were slipping out of my mouth as if it was overflowing from my mind.

"Vanoss, calm down. It's okay, we'll figure it out one at a time" Delirious try to comfort me, all it did was make my worries fade away just to get replaced by the sick feeling in my stomach.

I gave him a small nod as my head became dizzy. "Can you get the badges?."

"Y-yeah, should be easy" My sight zooming in and out before settling down.

"Should?" Terroriser cross his arms.

"Well, they have their pictures of their badges," I explain. "Wouldn't that mess things up?"

"No, Mini is coming with the rest of the gang. If Night Crew is here so is the cops," Delirious snaps his head towards the window "If I didn't know better, I'll call this a distraction."

"What do you mean?" Cartoonz walks to the same window that Delirious was looking at.

"Vanoss said he saw them and he left his wallet which contains his key card. They came, knew Vanoss would come back because who wouldn't? It's his 'house'. They probably left an anonymous tip to Night Crew and the cops which would accompany Vanoss making them Vanoss least worries," Delirious taps the table with his fingers "it's just why would they do that, they have the folder... Why come back?"

Delirious focus on the table like his life depend on it for a couple minutes. I thought his mind was going to blow if he focuses any harder.

"Delirious, stop" Cartoonz wave his hand in his face and Delirious quick grab it, his eyes never leaving the table.

He tilts his head like he found something unique and unusual.

Terroriser looks at me and then Delirious.

"Terroriser, don't. He'll snap out of-" Cartoonz let out a groan and stood taller as Delirious knuckles whiten, conflicting more pain.

"What's happening?" I finally decide to speak up. No one answers me, the only sound was Cartoonz whispering 'Thank god'

Delirious's white skin turn red, letting the blood cells flow back. Soon Cartoonz was grabbing his wrist and was on his knees. Terroriser was still right beside me. Delirious eyes flickered around like he was just waking up.

"What the hell happen to you?" Delirious look down at Cartoonz.

"Nothing" Cartoonz wince-groan out.

"Wha-" I was confused in my own words. I felt something poking at my ribs, I look down.

A hidden knife was in Terroriser hand, pointing directly at me. I rose an eyebrow at the hilarious act. Taking that knife from him was nothing just like taking a candy from a baby but I knew why he was doing it.

He didn't want me to speak of the passing event that had happened. I wasn't going to speak anything of it, I'm not going to be in their 'gang drama'.

But I couldn't help but feel curious about Delirious.

"What did you figure out?" Terroriser ask.

"They are only looking for "Derek" right?" Delirious smiles.

"I really need to talk to Lui" I held my stomach.

"Lui won't give you none of his food" Cartoonz look at me weirdly.

"No you idiot, why are you still on the floor?"

"Yes," Terroriser answers Delirious question "Hey, Vanoss," I look up at him "do they know how you look like?"

"Well they can, if the lady gave a brief description of me or they look at the security cameras"

"But if the lady did, they won't bother checking the security cameras. And I'm pretty sure, she did" Delirious explained "Cartoonz, door"

Cartoonz jumps from his spot and open the door, there was no one. I look at Terroriser who shrug his shoulders at me. They continue talking, me feeling left out- I started walking towards the hollow hallway, passing the huge TV that was on the wall.

Delirious and the rest were huddling around the table, planning.

I look towards the door, the one that was daring me, teasing me, taunting me and the one that was ready for me.

I turn the hallway, going into the room instead. The endless trail of clothes never ending.

It was the smart thing to do, two gangs are in the same building as me. One who wants me dead and one who I know nothing about. I also need the red folder, I came here for it; it's my purpose.

The bedroom furniture was arranged different compare to mine.

It was like the whole room flip, instead of having the messy bed -with bed covers drooping off- beside the door and the TV facing the bed, it was switch with each other.

The closet was wide open, sparkling dresses and tuxedos were hanging neatly, noticeable, ready for any robber to take them away from the couple's closet.

I kick the clothes on the floor wondering what the hell happen to these clothes.

They seem to be everyday clothes, guess they didn't want to ruin the "fancy" ones.

"SHIT" The voice boomed through the apartment. I rush out the room stopping at the end of the hallway right beside the door.

Their attention went to me and Delirious smack Cartoonz head earning a huff from the silently taller man.

"I told you to calm down" Delirious mumbles.

"We have a criminal- who had important information and who can escape anytime he wants- working with us" Cartoonz explained. "Don't tell me to calm down!"

"Thanks for pointing that out, i didn't really notice," I said, annoyed.

"Shut your mouth" Terroriser snap at me. I put my hands up, giving up and tired of this crap.

"Look, I'm sorry. You are right but we can't keep worrying about him 24/7, this is bigger than him and us. We are trying to take down two gangs right now, we don't even know the other gang!" Delirious had a point, everyone in the room knew that due to Cartoonz having his head down in shame and Terroriser looking away from the table.

Henderson has one of the biggest gang, I even second guessed my decision to follow them.

"Vanoss, we need to know if we can work with you and trust you" Delirious spoke making the guys turn back at him.

The guys were protesting, explaining every bad outcome and spitting out profanities. But Delirious wasn't paying attention which look kind of impossible due to their screaming and having their faces blocking his view.

My voice echo through the room, everyone turn on me in defeat and disbelief. All except one, who was smiling brightly, returning a new warm fuzzy feeling. The room seems brighter and uplighting, avoiding the disimpressed looks.

"Alright, I'll work with you"
