PART V
More Transfer Courses than Crazy Councilor Broads deserve, so is All My Krew
*theme music*
Undoubtedly the roughest, butchest region in New Dramasville, the red light district is crammed with all the crazies and psycoes. The cops are lazy and crooked and no wonder. More gangs than one could count are based in the red light district. Prostitutes roam the streets hitting on the ex-cons. not to mention grandmothers and the little children on there way from school. The skies are always dreary regardless of the other districts and gunshots can always be heard. If you visited anywhere in New Dramasville and then came to the red light district you would wonder how could it be so close to the rest of peaceful, cheery New Dramasville. Although many landmarks separate the red light district, one in particular is an extremely large mansion. Normally, the driveway would be empty, and the lights off (other than a suspicious red light that illuminated from the upstairs) however today all of the lights were on. The driveway was full of police cars and ambulances. And there was a near-dead girl on inside.
Ledissa reacted instantly of course. Abid after her, let out a disturbingly high-pitched 'oh my word,' and fainted. Fadaf didn't know what to do. the two of them at her feet. She didn't remember actually stabbing Ledissa but she remembered alot of blood. And the sound Ledissa made when the glass penetrated her skin. Fadaf remembered it was a good sound. There was so much blood on her hands. Fadaf wandered the mansion until she found a telephone which she use used to call the police. She calmly told them that some one had been hurt without feeling any pity at all. The ambulance had taken Ledissa and Abid on a stretcher. And that was it. This is exactly what she told the police 4 hours later at the police station.
Fadaf, Abid (after nurses assured there was nothing wrong with him that they could fix) and Rajtin had been taken into police custody. The cops had taken in Rajtin because her phone number was found on Fadaf's cell phone before the crime. The police had taken them into separate rooms for questioning.

Rajtin had left in such a hurry. Something about Chrawla was now alone. At a bar. Now Chrawla's cell rang. It was the hospital.
"dios mio." Chrawla knocked back another shot glass, picked up her bag and strolled - or rather staggered - outside to get a taxi.
****
When the police had released Abid because he would only draw pictures, he went back to the hospital to check on Ledissa.
"How is she doc?" Abid asked a doctor accompanied by a nurse coming out of the ward. "I thought I told you to stop calling me that" she said impatiently. "She's not good. I'm afraid that Ledissa is in.." *sit on edge of seat waiting anticipatively* "a coma." Abid's gasp was cut short. he fainted again. "Nurse, I need some whiskey STAT." "But Dr. Rawlma, what about the boy?" "who? oh leave him, the cleaning lady will get him."
A coma on a soapopera?! show of hands; who saw that coming?

Earth Apples usually closed at 10.30PM so when Jimmy had just flipped the last chair over on the last table he was relieved that it was 11.14. he was ahead of schedule. Allyson hadn't left since her music drove everyone out of the Glovorian café.
"I did awesome today! no one even spoke while I played" said a cheery Allyson. No one was there to speak. Allyson spun around on her stool which was right up to the bar where Malexs cleaned a mug with a rag. (Is that the same mug from 4 hours ago?)
"Yeah, it was brilliant. really..er.. sumfing else auntie Allyson.." Little Jimmy rolled his eyes and went into the back where Christina was refilling Coffee canisters. Allyson kicked of from the stool, spinning madly. fireplaces, bookshelves, tables swrled hypnotically around her. the stool began to slow down as it began to face the front door. Allyson completely dazed. she snapped out of it just in time to see a dark figure at the door. not some random stranger merely walking by, an actual figure just standing there. Allyson pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. she had to be seeing things. the figure was gone. Probably only my imagination.
"..so..I was thinking ..maybe I could play again..tomorrow?" Allyson asked slyly. There was a loud crash. "Just think about it, I've gotta run." said Allyson eyeing the clock. If I'm playing again tomorrow, I'm gonna need some valve oil for Ronald. Ronald was Allyson's Trumpet "See you tomorrow!" Allyson leapt of the stool and ran out of the Glovorian café
"`OLY SHIT!" rang Christina's voice from the back room. Malexs ran pass the doors marked 'employees only' to see what had happened.

"Miss, could you put that out?" Rajtin took another drag on her cigarette. "I have the right to remain silent." she said before sticking the cigarette into her mouth. "um..okay now getting back to the questions, where were you when recieved the phone call in question?" the detective asked her. "I was at jo'momma's house." Rajtin replied coolly. "could you just answer the question please miss?" Rajin blew smoke in his face. "I thought I did." she smiled sweetly. "Exactly what are you rebelling against?" the detective asked, now loosing his gentle demeanor. rajtin took a long drag on her cigarette, thinking about the cop's question. "What d'you got?"

Abid woke up to someone vacuuming him with a nozzle. the hospital lighting dim and the visitor's ward was near-empty. Abid got up. He couldn't help thinking about what a mess his life was. The only person that ever loved him was crazy, the only person he's ever admired was a comatose, and he couldn't get the bloodstains out of his favourite my chemical romance gun + gun shirt.
There was only one thing that could cheer him up now. Pocky. Abid left the hospital quickly hoping he could make it to Pocky Palace before the mall closed.
He found parking quickly and jogged to the escalator. most of the stores were already closed, but he continued upstairs anyway. at the foot of the escalator he saw Allyson taking her time stepping onto an escalator step. Abid, desperate pushed her, pretending it was accidental. he was halfway up the escalator when all the lights in the mall went out. he heard Allyson scream. The light flickered back on, but the escalator wasn't moving any more. they were trapped.

"My Emu Milk! my precious emu milk!!" Malexs was frantic. "How could you spill it you..you.." increasing with rage, Malexs gestured to the smashed glass and 2L of emu milk on the floor.Malexs, Jimmy and Christina were in Malexs' private alcohol cupboard whic was in fact, a room. considerably larger than the back room.
"it was an accident. I'm sorry!" said Christina looking sincere.
"That's it! I got the emu' milk back when I was..was.." not even Jimmy nor Christina knew of Malexs' past. she couldn't blow her cover now.. "..on a..gameshow!!" All eyes were on malexs.
"What the 'ell kinda lie is tha'?" Christina questioned. silly girl, never question a raging drunk. Malexs eyes turned to slits. she took the nearest bottle of ready-made Tequila-Mockingbird and smashed it.
"okay..I think you may be overreacting just a lot malexs."Jimmy warned. "Its one thing to shout, but to smash a poor, helpless bottle of tequila.." she shook her head. "you're completely out of order."
Malexs freaked out. "I'm not out of order! You're out of order! The whole freakin' system's outta order! You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! 'Cause when you reach over and stick your hand into a pile of goo that used to be your best friend's face! You'll know what to do!"
"What the hell are you talking about?! you just pasted bits from famous arguments together!!" Chrsitina, now reaching her breaking point.
"— forget it Christina — it's Chinatown!" Malexs finished. Chrisitna let out a long frustrated scream.
"I'm sick of this stupid café! I'm sick of you!! I ..I hate"
The lights flickered on once more. Christina was gone.
***
'OMGOMGOMG' we're trapped! Abid was pacing on the escalator in circles. 'hey calm down kid! we'll be fine. I bet the lights will be back any second.' Allyson consoled. The lights flickered out again. Abid and Allyson screamed. For some reason, Abid's scream was higher pitched than Allyson's.
