    Zen took another step back and glanced side to side before shooting four bullets towards Al and sprinting into a long, dark alley. He climbed over the fence before going into another street.

    Al yelled as 2 bullets hit his left arm firing 50 rounds through the fence hoping atleast a few would hit him as he drops the Tommy gun holding his shoulder.

    Zen heard the bullets being shot and a whimper escaped his mouth when a few hit his back. At least he got away. When Zen was out of sight, he panted, crouching over and putting his hands on his knees.

    Snake smiled her Taipen following Zen "You all right there?" She asked, not very concerned though. She had worse before and survived

    Zen rubbed his forehead before standing up straight. He glanced around before continuing to walk, heading back towards the hospital.

    Maxine sunk down into the hospital bed before looking up at the ceiling. I'm so stupid... she thought. I should have never even joined a gang in the first place.

    Zen walked into the hospital and made his way towards Maxine's hospital room. It was obvious he was in agony now because he was clenching his jaw and sweat was streaming down the side of his face. He quietly walked into Maxine's room and noticed that she was awake. "Maxine." Zen said quietly, closing the door behind him.

    Zen looked at her, "Yeah... I'm... I'm fine. Al shot me again." He paused before adding, "But I shot him back and ran off." He forced a weak smile, looking at her. "Are you feeling better? I was worried about you."

    "Worried about me?!" Maxine stated. "Look at you! You just got shot in the back." She stood up and walked over to Zen. "We need to get you help..." Maxine's face was distorted in a mixture of fear and concern as she tentatively placed her hand on Zen's chest.

    Zen hesitated, "No no no, Maxine. It's fine." He bit his tongue. "I'll live, don't worry about me." He then grew silent, looking at her for a moment before glancing away.

    Maxine bit the inside of her cheek. "I just...want you to be safe." She finally said.

    Zen looked back at her and bit his lip. "I..." He paused; Zen was speechless. "I'm Zen Abarca, nothing is ever going to be safe when I'm around." He said jokingly before smiling weakly.

    Maxine let out a small laugh. "That is true..." She said in a teasing manner. "But..." Her face took on a serious look. "I want to know why you do this. Why you fight. Why you stay strong, when you seem to have nothing left to live for."

    Zen's smile faded and he sighed softly before replying, "Im reckless because I have nothing left to live for. I stay strong about it all because I won't die a coward. I'm not going to sit around all day, I'm going to fend for myself until my last dying breath." He shrugged and then looked away again with a blank expression on his face.

    Zen sighed, staring at a wall. "I don't have much choice anymore. It seems like all the other gangs are against us... Besides, I wasnt accepted into art school. I don't have a job, how else am I supposed to get money? I'm stuck, Maxine." He shook his head slowly before looking at her. "Just don't worry about me, please." He murmured.

    Maxine lifted his chin. "Zen, what I'm saying is, the whole world can't e like this. There has to be some place where there aren't any Esca's, Shogun's, Witches, or even Samurai's. There still is good on this world, and there is still good in you." she said softly. "You just have to defy the odds and find it."
