James was looking at some papers in his office. After a while, Daniel went inside, carrying one middle box.
D: Yo James, what's up?
James tossed the papers on the table and grabbed his head.
J: Hey Daniel. These papers are killing me. I don't know where to start anymore.
Daniel put the box on his desk and sat down on a chair.
D: I have good and bad news. What do you want to hear first?
James looked at him.
J: Start with the good news
Daniel smiled and took a box of 6 doses of beer out of the box.
D: I found a beer at a discount
James closed his eyes and sighed.
J: Are you kidding me? And what's the bad news?
D: The bad news is our weasel we are looking for. One of our agents managed to follow her to the Black City(the explanation for why the black city is called at the end)
James got annoyed and hit his desk with a fist.
J: Now we can really give up on that case. None of the officers or the PCC returned alive from there. If we try to get in, the probability is very small that we will survive next to so many criminals.
He got up from his chair, went to the window and looked in the direction of the black city. Daniel approached James and put his hand on his shoulder.
D: Don't get too upset, we'll come up with something
Chester was sitting on a bench in the schoolyard under a tree and holding a bottle of water in his hand. He took a cigar box out of his jacket and lit one. As he smoked, he felt a sharp pain in his left eye, grabbed his eye and held on.
C: Ahh shit, pain again
He took the pills the doctor had given him from his bag, so he took one. After a few minutes the pain passed, he finished with the cigar and threw it down. He picked up the phone and looked through the reflection he noticed that the eye had changed to a very bright red color.
K: Chester!
In the background was the voice of the school principal (Kai, Husky 48y) calling him in. Chester put the phone in his pocket and befor he turned to face him he closed his eye.
C: What's the matter now?
K: That you showed up at my office right away!
Kai said angrily.
C: Here I go
Chester rolled his eye and started walking towards the office. In the hallway he saw Henry sitting and waiting in front of Kai's office. Chester ignored him and sat down next to him.
K: You two come in!
Kai said and opened the door. Henry and Chester sat next to each other and Kai on the other side of the table. He looked first at the scar Henry had and then at Chester's scar.
K: How's your eye? Let me look.
C: I refuse to show my eye.
Chester said, lowering his hair down a little to cover it.
K: Good as you wish.
C: Why did you call me here at all? I don't have time to waste on unimportant things, Or to sit near this hyena.
H: That hyena has a name, too.
Henry looked at him angrily.
K: Enough!
Exclaimed Kai I hit the table.
K: You two are constantly making trouble, so we just made the decision to fire you from school. You no longer belong here, you are dangerous for this school. You are no longer a member of this school from tomorrow. Now get out of my office, go pack your things and I don't wanna see you here anymore!!
They were both in shock.
H: Give me another chance please
Henry said and got up from his chair.
H: I didn't start that fight. This stupid wolf is to blame for everything. You should just punish him.
C: What did you say?!
Chester got up and grabbed Henry by the shirt and approached him.
K: Get out!! Or I'll call the police!
Kai yelled at them. Chester pushed Henry, he fell down and watched him leave. Chester went to his closet, took out all his things and put them in his bag, and went outside. He got home, went inside and looked to see if his father was there.
C: Simon!
Shouted once but didn't answer.
C: So he's not here.
He went to the kitchen, took a bottle of beer out of the fridge and went to drink and lit a cigar. He got a message on the phone, took it out and saw thag Ray was writing to him.
R: I just got home, I'll take some things and come to you
He threw the phone on the table and sat down on a chair with a bottle and a cigar. Ray was in his room and he took all the things out of his bag, went to the closet and took a couple of suits and put them inside. From the box that stood in his closet he took out one small box that was decorated. He put it in the bag too and went downstairs. James was with Daniel in his office.
R: Dad, I'm going to Chester's.
James turned and looked at Ray.
J: Okay, son.
He noticed the bag.
J: And what do you need a bag for?
R: Well, I was planning to spend weekend to him.
J: Okay, but watch what you're doing. Don't make trouble. Do you need money?
R: Don't worry too much, we're not going anywhere. We'll be at his house all the time. I have money. See you, Dad, bye.
He went outside and made his way to Chester's place.
The Black City is a city that has been independent for 200 years. It is not known exactly how many people live there, but a large number of them are mostly very dangerous criminals. 200 years ago, there were a lot of problems, so the then leader pushed the police and forced them to sign a contract stating that the police and the army have no right to come, if they break the rule, they will be killed or punished. The city was named after the black panther, the then leader and founder of that city. There are various laboratories and technologies that others do not have.
