Mentis had fallen asleep and woken up with a killer headache looking at his surroundings he was still under the tree at the park, day barely breaking through the clouds he groaned head pounding from his drinking he slowly got himself up joints popping he looked around again and stood up hand resting against the hard bark,'ugh.. ****, i could use some painkillers and some more cigarettes' he thought bitterly as he stood there for what seemed like a few minutes before gathering himself and slowly stalking off.


After he got both painkillers and medicine the store clerk didn't even bother sparing him any glance as he paid of his items and left, popping two pills and drinking some random carbonated drink he'd gotten not caring about the oddly fruity taste combined with the chalk textured pills.


He recapped the drink and shoved it in his jacket pocket, grabbing his recently acquired cigarettes and taking one out the packet shoving the rest into his pocket as he lit the cigarette in his mouth and continued walking afterwards stopping far away enough to take a long drag and breathing out a ring of smoke.


He ignored any passerby's he walked passed opting to give them a hard glare to shut them up as he walked thankfully no one seemed to care as his intimating aura seemed to scare most of them off as he walked.


Different thoughts ran through his head, he couldn't help but think what Derki had said to him or maybe what he actually wanted to say, he walked until he reached his home again opening the door with his key and walking in locking it behind him with a click, he blew out another ring inside not caring as he wandered towards the living room area and sitting down in his favourite leather chair flicking on the tv he watched the news nothing remotely interesting.


He was about to turn it off when a rerun of a recent news report flashed on screen.


_'in recent news, there has been sightings of one Cari a female irken who was last spotted in the city her whereabouts now are currently unknown, she is wanted in connection with a still possibly at large criminal known only as sitnem as well as other crimes on top of that, there's a current reward of one hundred thousand monies for any information regarding her whereabouts as of this time'

Mentis almost dropped the cigarette he was smoking, 'Cari..' he thought sadly to himself how his heart ached for her he closed his eyes remembering the first time he laid eyes on her, back when he had both. oh how his heart seemed to skip a beat at her beauty, her voice.. god he was love struck by her.


He felt a tear roll down his face, '****..' he missed her.. so much it hurt, he hadn't cried in a long time but hearing she was out there and alive gave him hope, moving on had been always out the question, now he has a drive to move forwards again and find her again, would she still remember him? love him? many question ran through his head as he smoked ignoring the flickering of the tv as he was deep in thought.
