Vargas grunts trying to move I just need… some god damn water
nods understandingly and rummages through his backpack "No worries, kid. Got some water here.
Thanks..He takes it and drinks it slowly
sits down next to Vargas and glances at his brother "So, what's the deal? You and your bro here looking for trouble or what?"
No not really… my parents kicked us out…. wanted to find a safe place to stay
puts a hand on Vargas's shoulder, his voice filled with empathy "Damn, that's rough. But don't worry, kid, I got you.
Where are we going to go… everything we own is back there Points to the bag that was stolen

where’s the dude? Vargas asks
starts walking towards a run-down building nearby "He's just a few blocks away. Follow me, and keep your head down, alright?"
I follow him, as my brother clings onto my side

takes a step forward, hands in his pockets "Hey, fellas, what's the deal here? Looking for trouble or just hanging out?" Shady Individual 1: smirks and steps forward, cracking his knuckles "Just hanging out, man. But if you're looking for trouble, you came to the right place."
Stays quiet and watches everything unfold
narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with determination "Well, lucky for you, trouble seems to have found you. So here's the deal - leave us alone, or else." Shady Individual 2: laughs and steps forward, towering over Daniel "Or else what, pretty boy? You gonna fight us all?"
Just watching everything play out
grins mischievously and cracks his knuckles "Oh, I wouldn't recommend underestimating me, pal. Trust me, you don't want to see what I'm capable of." Shady Individual 1: smirks and takes a step back, looking slightly intimidated "Alright, alright. We didn't mean any harm. We'll leave you guys alone."
Nods and follows daniels lead
