Seeing Panam storm in angrily, Rogue frowned slightly.
"Young lady, we'll discuss this later. I'm in the middle of something."
However, Panam, fueled by anger, was not about to back down.
"Rogue! When you set me up with Nash, why didn't you tell me he was a member of the Scavs?"
"Do you know that my clan and the Scavs are sworn enemies? He stole my car and hijacked my goods!"
Rogue remained unfazed by Panam's outburst.
"That's your business, not mine."
"No! You dragged me into this mess!" Panam's eyes almost flared with fire.
"Because of you, I've lost everything!"
In truth, she didn't care much about the money or the goods.
What truly infuriated her was losing her beloved car, which she cherished like her own life.
How could she accept this?
Rogue indifferently took a sip from the drink Claire handed her.
"I'll say it again, young lady, handle your own affairs and clean up your own mess."
"Eat dirt!" Panam retorted angrily and turned to leave.
In the Afterlife, facing Rogue, one could only reason.
No matter how furious she was, drawing a gun was out of the question if she wanted to stay alive.
As she passed Alex and his friends, Panam warned angrily, "Be careful doing business with her!"
Then, she stormed out.
"Just an unlucky young lady, let's continue," Rogue said calmly.
...
After concluding their business with Rogue, the three of them resumed drinking.
It wasn't until nightfall, when the Afterlife grew more crowded, that Alex helped his two inebriated friends leave.
As for himself, the Blacklight virus's powerful decomposition, digestion, and absorption abilities meant that the alcohol didn't even make it to his stomach before being converted into energy reserves.
First, he drove V back to the apartment, and then Alex took the sleeping Jackie to the Coyote Cojo bar.
"You must be Alex, right?"
An older woman with gray hair but a commanding presence approached.
Alex, naturally, wasn't familiar with her.
"Yes, Mrs. Wells, Jackie's had a bit too much to drink."
"This child..." Mrs. Wells patted Jackie's shoulder with some exasperation, then added:
"You probably haven't eaten either, have you?"
"Gurgle..."
At the mention of food, Alex's stomach rumbled loudly.
Alex blushed.
After waking up today, he had gone to North Oak and then to the Afterlife to start drinking.
He hadn't eaten much all day.
Mrs. Wells chuckled: "Then please help me get Jackie to his room first, and I'll fix you something to eat."
Alex nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Mrs. Wells."
Watching Mrs. Wells leave, Alex couldn't help but marvel internally.
It was truly unimaginable.
This kind and approachable woman was one of the core figures in the entire Heywood area.
Even the tough Valentino gang members showed her respect.
As the priest himself had said:
"Mrs. Wells is not only kind-hearted, but she's also stronger than all the gang members in this neighborhood."
...
A short while later, Mrs. Wells returned with a steaming pizza, two hot dogs, and a cup of hot coffee.
"Come here, kid, have something to eat."
Alex eagerly sat down: "Thank you very much."
After a day of hunger, and with Mrs. Wells's excellent cooking, there was nothing to complain about.
Alex devoured the meal voraciously.
The pizza and hot dogs meant for two were nearly gone.
Seeing that nothing was left of what she had prepared, Mrs. Wells's smile broadened.
"Alex, thank you for saving Jackie. If you ever need help, just reach out to us old folks in Heywood."
"You're welcome, Mrs. Wells. As long as you don't mind me dropping by for a meal," Alex chuckled.
To be honest, he wasn't usually fond of Western food.
But this meal was exceptionally good.
"Hahaha, just let me know before you come, or I won't be able to prepare in time."
"Don't worry, Mrs. Wells..."
After a pleasant chat with Mrs. Wells, Alex bid her goodbye and left.
He felt full of energy and vitality.
His body was finally back to its peak condition.
"That old woman is really nice, and her cooking is great. You should visit more often," Johnny suddenly commented.
Alex smiled: "It's rare to hear you say something nice."
Johnny took off his sunglasses and gazed at the vibrant night sky reflected by the neon lights, lost in thought.
After a moment, he lowered his head.
"This dirty, stupid city, you can't even see the stars. So, where are we heading now?"
Seeing Johnny's question, Alex grinned mischievously.
"After a good meal, it's time for some exercise."
"Let's go to Stoneridge Mountain!"
