Chapter 2: Garbage Boy
It was time to get away.
"Wha-wha-"
"Be quiet and focus on running while thinking of any of your 'connections' that can help!! I don't want to die because you dragged me into your nonsense!!"
As he dashed through Skid Row, Ari purposefully kicked the feet of slumped-over people to wake them up, dragged tents, and knocked over bags of trash, all to delay the men chasing him.
Despite the irritated shouts from people who stumbled and tried to fight him, when Ari peeked backward, he could see 3 of the 6 men sprinting after him while knocking those people down.
The one in the lead was covered in cheesy potatoes, and his face was splotchy and red as if he had been burned.
Tsk.
Too bad it didn't make him blind, too.
Huff-
Hufff-
Ari was panting hard as he did the double work of running and pulling the old man along.
