LA is a place where you can have anything, you just need contacts. Drugs, hookers, guns, classics just name it, and anything can be yours. LA just wants 2 things from you in return, one of them is of course money and the other one is Status. You can do nothing here without status. Even a bartender around here has a status so you can say everyone has his/her own beliefs here. No works for you because they want to, no, everybody is hungry for money and status. Do one thing wrong and these scavengers will rip you apart.

It's late at night and I cannot sleep so I decided to freshen up my sore throat and have some beer but looks like we’re out of that too. No problem, I guess it's good to take a ride outside. Well, the nighttime is the best in LA. ‘SHADOW’ is still entertaining people but I’m in no mood to meet someone. Nighttime is the time when I really wanna be alone. So now I’ll get in my and go get some beer. I could’ve asked Robert to bring me some in the morning but it's okay, I want to freshen up my mind as well.

The stars are not much bright today, I don’t know what’s happening to the universe, can’t a person enjoy a sky full of glittery stars. I’ve searched up on the internet a lot many times and I’ve heard that werewolves attain their true forms every full moon day. I guess that’s just a theory of people because that’s not the case with me. It’s been years since I’ve turned into that but still, it scares the hell out of me. It’s so scary that sometimes I wonder if I can still unleash that beast. But on the other hand, I wish that dude stay inside and never come outside.

And here we are at the grocery store. I think I might take some instant food to eat as well. But the first checkpoint is beer. I don’t like a certain type of beer; anyone will do for me. I just check if it's cold enough to chill my inside and not that bitter to allow me to throw up. So here I found out some HoeGardens, yupp perfect. HoeGardens was the one that Robert bought me some days back, it was good, and the taste was decent. Well, to be honest, I’m not that much a beer kinda guy but still, sometimes I feel an urge to drink. Well, there’s no one in the store except a girl at the counter and a guy in the next aisle. That’s good, the lesser the people the best is for me. But this is guy is looking somewhat strange to me, looks like he is just checking out the cameras. Well, whatever. I should just find out what to eat now.

(Sudden shouting at the counter between a guy and the counter girl)

I was right, he’s a thief. Well, it's so late and dark, the staff must be aware of not letting a girl handle it on her own. Should I go save her? Naah, I’m not that type of guy. It’s not that I’m afraid of guns and guys, it's just that I avoid all of this. But looks like there’s not anything for her other than me, let’s just check out, and then I will let those two minds their business.

I reached the counter and asked the counter girl for the bill.

Thief (surprised of strange behavior) - “Hey, can’t you see what’s the situation here. Step aside”

Kaster- “I don’t have all day, here’s 100$. Keep the change.” (Gave money to the counter girl and started to leave)

Thief- “Hey you!!”

Kaster- “What?”

Thief- “You think you’re gonna walk that door and call the cops on me. Well come here and give me everything.”

Kaster- “here you go”

I never wanted any of this, but I wanted this to end so as I can enjoy my beer, so I gave him all my money and my gold chain and started to leave again.

Thief- “Wait, I’m not done with you. Give me that shiny bracelet as well.”

Now, this could get worse. That bracelet was given to me by my adopted dad, and he told me that it’s the only thing he had of my birth parents, and it was given to him by the orphanage head and was told the same. So, at no cost, I’m giving this.

Kaster – “Look buddy, I’ve already given you around 5000$ and my gold chain. I think that’s score for you today”

Thief - “You don’t tell me what’s good for me, just give me the damn bracelet.”

Kaster- “I’m sorry, but there’s no way I’m giving you this.”

Thief- “Don’t make me angry man”

Kaster- “Or what?”

The thief pulls the girl next to him and dares me to give him the bracelet or he will shoot her. Now the thing is I don’t care about other people. For me, all of them are already dead. You can count them as walking dead for me. One day they just stop walking, other days they are walking normally. So, it really doesn’t matter to me if he shoots her and she’s dead. But the one thing which I’m most afraid of is being triggered by this and unleashing my true form. NO NO NO, that can’t happen. But I can’t even give him my bracelet. I think the best thing to do here is to act cool and truthful. I’ll tell him that I don’t care about the girl, if he wants to shoot her, he can, it’s his call. I don’t give a fuck. Because when he will notice that I don’t care for her, he’ll point the gun at me, and a gun can’t harm werewolves. So, the ball is in my court.

Counter girl- “Go ahead, I don’t care.”
