《The Criminals》The Gangsters
Advertisement
While Alex was walking around the beautiful and ugliest city he has started to feel like someone was following him. He takes a look behind, but he wasn't anyone there who looks like a stalker. Alex taught this is just his rich imagination, but the truth is other. He is followed by someone, and that person is the hobo who got ten bills from Alex when they were at that restaurant a while ago.
Alex was walking around the buildings and he decides to enter a clothing store called "Bingas". When he entered the building, and the cashier greeted him, Alex goes straight to a part of the store where shirts are hung on the hanger, and there, Alex looks at some models of shirts. Being at a second-hand clothes store, she doesn't have many options, but she decides to buy a shirt that hipsters wear most often, the one with red and squire black lines.
When he takes the shirt, he takes with him blue jeans to the wardrobe of the store because he wanted to try that outfit on him. "Living in a new city means new look", that is what he said to himself when he entered the wardrobe. While Alex was changing, the Hobo was outside and was looking at the window of the store where Alex is located.
After a few minutes, Alex left the wardrobe with the clothes bought on a plastic bag and goes with them to the cashier to buy those clothes. When he arrived at the cashier, Alex put the clothes on the counter and let the cashier analyze the clothes, to register them at the register cash for a few seconds.
"Thirty-five dollars, please." says the cashier to Alex.
Alex takes his wallet out of his pocket and handed thirty-five dollars to the cashier, who put them in the cash register and said to Alex: "Thank you from buying clothes from us!" while he was walking to the exit. When Alex left the store, he saw something, the hobo running from three dudes. Those three dudes are dressed in purple and yellow clothes, wear a yellow cap and one of them wears a bandanna with sunglasses. The first instinct of Alex was to leave him alone, but he decides to put the clothes somewhere safe and run to that hobo just to save his life from those dudes, who are probably some kind of gangsters because they have the same colours on the clothes they were wearing.

After a few meters of running to those gangsters, Alex asked one of those gangsters.
"Can't you leave this man alone?"
"Can't you let us do our job?" ask that gangster who stopped in front of Alex and was about to take out a knife.
Alex stopped from running, and he straight jumped on that bastard and he landed a fist into that gangster's face. Then, Alex takes his knife and throws away because he doesn't want to kill that poor gangster, but to hurt him. When that gangster was about to hit Alex with a punch, he didn't expect his punch to get caught by Alex's fists. That gangster was impressed, but he didn't notice that Alex was giving a second attack to that gangster, a kick into his face. The gangster almost fell and he got another punch by Alex, who this time, was hitting the gangster head, who finally fell. Alex looked at that gangster for a few seconds, "I hope he is not dead." he said to himself while he started to run again to that damn hobo.
Another three minutes later, Alex caught up with those gangsters and that hobo. The gangsters were about to kill that hobo using a knife, but Alex arrived, the Hobo was looking at him and he was begging for his help. The two gangsters turned around and saw Alex, both of them looked confused at Alex and asked him.
"Who the fuck are you?!" asks a gangster behind the other one who threatens that hobo. "What have you done to Spike."
"You mean the one who I break his nose?" asked Alex that gangster who asked the question.
"You are dead!" says that gangster taking his knuckle from the pocket and equip on his right arm.
That gangster who was threatening the hobo decides to kick him in the guts, split on his face, and throws the knife on his hands. The knife was thrown straight to the hobo's left hand and he pierced the entire hand. The hobo screamed because of the pain he started to feel when the knife was piercing his hand. The gangster lets the hobo suffered and goes to Alex to beat him.

Alex dodged the attack on the gangster equipped with a knuckle and he used technique who had learned in video games, he kicks the face of that gangster with his right leg, he then uses his right fist to punch the face, and with the other one, he used to steal that knuckle and use to attack the other gangster who almost hit Alex with a strong punch. The fight between Alex and those two gangsters where it was so amazing that you would have thought it was directed or part of a video game. Alex uses that knuckle to change the faces of the two gangsters by making their eyes injured and the rest of their bodies. The fight ended when Alex put those two gangsters down.
"You are alright?" says Alex going to the hobo.
"I-I'm sorry!" says the Hobo starting to cry "I am so sorry!"
"Wh-What do you mean?" says Alex has no idea what that weirdo is apologizing for.
"I-I'm sorry I followed you. I promise that will not happen again!" says Hobo started to beg for mercy to Alex.
"You followed me?" says Alex to him feeling so shocked because he had no idea a hobo was following him until he arrives at the clothing shop. "I didn't notice. But why?"
"Why? I am a hobo. I need money for cracks and weed. Why do you think I need the money for? To raise a family?"
When the hobo said that sentence to Alex, it makes him feeling pissed because he knows what that hobo was saying. So Alex hit the hobo so hard in the face, he feels down like a person who got a kick in the face a karate kid with a white belt. Alex was about to leave, but he saw the hobo wallet. He checked his wallet and saw there a lot of money.
"This hobo is to gather money to buy drugs... I can't believe what humans are capable of some weed and some substances that can kill you in the future if aren't careful enough" taught Alex to himself when he put the wallet back in the hobo jacket and leave him. I came here to forgot the past, not to meet him again in a different place." says to himself when he left the alley and goes back to that clothing store to take his clothes back. When he takes the clothes from the same place he leaves them, Alex goes to the nearest restaurant to grab something to eat alone, like a normal person who doesn't have friends in a new city.
