Philly. God, it was dirty in areas you lived. More crime happened here more than anywhere you've been, which wasn't many places since you had no money to get out of this city anyhow. However, you had just enough money to get by. And confident in your ability to handle yourself, you decided to take a walk as the sun was barely setting, a bold move. Whether it was supposed to happen or not, you didn't know you'd meet someone infamous.
You had your headphones in, listening to god knows what. But at the same time, a guy turned the corner, running full speed past you. It was strange, thinking he was just in a hurry... or robbed someone. Unfortunately, you were right. As you walked just a few more steps, 3 more men turned the corner, each looking like they were the average gang member. You would usually stay out of this kind of business, but one thing led to another. They thought you were with him somehow and pulled a gun on you. You ran. Then ended up going the direction the guy went and followed him
You turned into an alley, losing the three and finally took a breath of air. As if it couldn't get any worse, you felt a punch connect with your jaw, sending you crashing onto the floor. You look up to see him, Darnell, glaring down. He didn't seem mad, just slightly annoyed.
"That's for following me," he stated simply.
Without waiting for you to respond, he turned around and peeked out the alley to make sure those guys were gone or far enough.
