The 'The Bunker' was a popular nightclub in Slough's town centre, yet today its front door had a sign that read 'Closed'. However, the guards around it were telltale signs that something was going on inside. Unbeknownst to the normal populace, the club was merely a front for the White swan, one of the town's most successful gangs.
Inside one of the VIP rooms, Orton had been sitting calmly, Orton continued to sit there in his seat. He picked up the large wine bottle in front of him and threw it against the wall smashing it to pieces.
"It's been over a week!!! How is it possible for you to not have so much as a SINGLE CLUE about that damn White haired teenager's whereabouts?!" The leader shouted at his subordinate who was in the unfortunate situation of having only bad news to report. The ringing in his eardrums was the least of his worries as he braced himself for what's coming next.
He had known his boss long enough to anticipate the large fist that hit him across the face, sending him flying down to the dance room floor. Orton wiped his hand with a little cloth he had in his suit pocket and started to walk down the stairs to the injured man.
"Do I need to remind you just how important this is?" Orton asked.
The man was in pain. Touching his face he felt an imprint left from one of his boss's rings. His cheek was bleeding but he knew that unless he replied immediately, the White swan leader would just continue beating him up.
"No, sir! I understand it perfectly, sir! The problem is that everything about that girl is just hard to track and the police refuse to help us. Right now the blue whalers are causing chaos in our territories, so it's hard for us to gather any reliable information on her, especially since we only have her hair colour to go on! There are so many punks that dye their hair white and she might have even dyed it by now. The blue whalers gang has been getting more and more brazen, challenging us for multiple areas.." The man answered truthfully, yet was frightened that he would soon feel another hit on his face… Instead, Orton squatted, grabbed the man by his hair and pulled him up to his eye level.
"How long have you been in this gang?" Orton asked.
"Around one year, sir! I got recognised for my work and got promoted to the blue Unit!" He replied quickly,
"A hard worker, eh? I can respect that. Fine, I shall let you off with this much. You better show me results or I'll make it a lot harder. Orton said. his hand not letting go of the poor man.
Orton had sent King shark to find the girl unfortunately he had been called back to A. A. S championship and had been gone for a week now
The gangster nodded instantly, even though nodding caused his hair to hurt even more.
All those that were in the club room wanted to take a step back, for fear that Orton would take out his anger on them next but they knew that if they did move, they were more likely to be picked.
Orton raised his hand to deliver another punch but the light ring of his desk comm shifter his focus. He walked back to his desk and picked the comm.
"Kirk!" Damion smiled. What a pleasant surprise."
"Your schedule has been cleared for the rest of the month. As you can tell, everyone else is pretty much useless. I want you to do me a little factor. Let's remind Slough, why you're my right hand man and why the White swan shouldn't be messed with.

Emily was still excluded, so she missed a very big event in their class.
"Alright everyone, so today we have a surprise transfer. Honestly even though we weren't expecting this so much and so soon, but they have their reason. I want you to please welcome your new fellow student." The teacher started the day, allowing the newcomer to say a few words.
The door slid open and a boy walked through, his red hair was flowing down his eyes.
"Everyone, it's nice to meet you. My name's Red Sunn."

Waking up the next morning, Emily was still thinking about what she could do to get stronger.
The high schooler could try and increase her stats naturally in the gym, though there were two problems with that approach. For one, her Strength and Endurance had grown, so she estimated that it would take for them to grow, which was exactly what she lacked. Then there was also the issue of her still not having figured out how exactly she was supposed to increase Dexterity.
She wasn't that far off from levelling up, yet at the same time she lacked a good source of Exp income. She could continue completing her Daily Quests, though those gave her a pittance in terms of Exp and without any other source it would take some time to reach Level 6.
The only other way she knew how to receive Exp was by fighting opponents. If she was lucky she might even trigger some sort of Quest that would give her even more. Being excluded from school meant that she couldn't really start challenging the other fighting clubs, leaving her with one remaining choice.
Just as she had made up her mind to go out and look for some trouble, she received a text on her comm.
[Heads up, the white swan have been ordered to retaliate against the blue whalers advances into their territory. At the same time, they'll also be scouting the area for you. I know you're excluded, so keep your head low and stay off the streets for a while.]
'Well that's just great.' Emily sighed, looking at the message from Daniel that had ruined her plans. She didn't know why the white swan would be looking for her in the first place. Nevertheless, she was very thankful for it. It would be a disaster if she would have ended up in the midst of that only now she just have two questions.
" Why is the white swan looking for her?"
"How did Daniel know?."
