J.J.: leans against a lamp post, flicking his lighter Yo, man, seen any sign of my fam?
grunts, dropping the lighter Wha-what the hell?! Get off me!
pushes PeriwinkleSerenity away Damn, watch it! Can't have some random stranger getting hands all over me, you know what I mean?
Sorry ain't gonna cut it, man! You gotta be more careful, you hear me? Can't have people thinking I'm some kinda creep or something. smirks
Yeah? Is that all you gotta say? Don't wanna know if I'm okay? Or maybe offer me a damn bottle of water or something?
Sure? Just sure? Well, ain't you just the most considerate person ever. rolls his eyes
what else should i say..?
snaps his fingers Alright, listen up, pal. If you really wanna show me you care, you gotta dig deep, you know what I mean?
Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna find the biggest, baddest taco place in town, and then we're gonna stuff our faces until we can't walk.
grinning mischievously Yeah, you heard me right. We're gonna eat like there's no tomorrow, and I'm gonna make sure you enjoy every goddamn bite of it.
grabs PeriwinkleSerenity's arm and starts walking briskly Come on, let's not waste any time.
After stuffing their faces, J.J. and PeriwinkleSerenity fall asleep in a taco place, only to be woken up by a group of thugs who demand money.
grits his teeth, shielding PeriwinkleSerenity Look, guys, I don't think you really wanna mess with us right now. We're not looking for trouble, alright? Thug 1: laughs Oh, look at the tough guy trying to play hero. I don't think so, buddy. Hand over your wallet, or things get ugly.
narrows his eyes, fists clenched No way in hell I'm letting these assholes take my money. cracks his knuckles You want a fight, tough guys?
