Chapter XIV: Trails and Troubles
No Name pushed the silver button engraved with an arrow pointing south. A faint "DING!" sounded from the silver doors which slid open and No Name stepped inside. "Er, hi," a familiar voice said. It was Nathan. "Hi," No Name said plainly. He was still angry about the whole Lexi incident but he didn't know the story behind it yet.
"Going to the lobby?" Nathan asked. No Name nodded his head and looked at the digital numbers blaring on top of the doors. 5... 4... 3... 2... G. "We're here, I think," Nathan said with a smile as he and No Name exited the elevator. Just then, they saw Nix in the arms of a man who was familiar to No Name, "Yxir!" he said and rushed to Nix who was unconscious. "Damn you bastard! You dare to show your face to me again, I swear, you're dead meat!" Nathan threatened Yxir after punching him squarely on the jaw. "Dude, she collapsed. I was only trying to help," Yxir reasoned out, his lip already bleeding. "Touch her again, you die."
No Name came back to where Trent and Zilch was, handed them their clothes and told them what happened. "She's ok now. She was just in shock, 'cause of Yxir that's why she fainted. Nate took her home so she could rest," he said.
"That cunt, wait till I get my hands on him," Zilch said, rising from the bed. "No, hun. That matter will be taken care of by me, No Name and Nate," Trent said, putting his hand on Zilch's shoulder. "Oh well, we might as well go now. I'll take you home," Trent said and both waved goodbye to No Name who was actually thinking of talking to Lexi but he shunned the idea. He didn't know what to say.
"I really don't know what happened back there," Zilch said. "Hmm?" Trent asked. "Near the river, when it was raining. It felt so... right," Zilch muttered, slightly blushing. "If you like getting hospitalized, wearing wet clothes and numb bodies, then that's good for you," Trent said jokingly. "No, really," Zilch said looking at Trent. "So... I guess this is it," Trent said, shoving his hands in his pocket. "This is what?" Zilch stepped closer, eyes hopeful. "This is goodbye, 'cause we're right in front of your house," Trent said with a smile.
'What was I thinking anyway?' "Oh right... Well, thanks and take care," Zilch said hurriedly and unlocked the door, slamming it afterwards. She was so embarrassed.
