Under the night sky, the dogs got louder and so did the men's curses and shouts. Gu Jun only had enough time to eat 2 fried omelettes. He did not even get to finish his bread and obtain more information about Arkham or Innsmouth before the interruption came. He was angry. He asked, "Mr. Joyce, do you have any guns?"
"What?" Mr. Joyce was stunned. He did not expect the man to opt for a firefight but now was not the time to act rash. "They have the numbers advantage, plus kid, if you really injure someone, this will be brought to court and then you'll never leave this town ever."
"Then can we call the police?" Even though Gu Jun knew that probably won't help much.
"I do not have a phone!" Mr. Joyce was agitated. "And even if the police came, do you think they will help an outsider like yourself? Don't be naïve, they will only help those brutes come up with a lawful excuse to murder you. Quick, come with me. You can hide in the basement for now."
