Hermann carried the bag of breads as he kept holding his head.
"You fucking said this was just a simple hit and run, not a goddamn beaten up and then run!" Said Theo.
"I didn't know alright! I thought of the same until she showed up!" Herman argued.
"Look at us bastard! He lost a teeth, his nose the constantly bleeding non stop, and his limping!" As Theo pointing at the others.
"Look it wasn't my fault!"
"Your fault!? You promised to pay us and that was it! We're just getting paid to be beaten up!"
"Look if its the money you want, I can give it to you."
"Not when the fact that we're injured after that fight! You'll have to pay us extra for the injuries."
Hermann exhaled.
"How much?" He asked.
"Double the amount."
"Pfft! I don't have that kind of money! You're just being greedy."
"After what happened!?"
"Yeah! I'm not paying double the promised the amount, you'll have to dea-"
In an instant, Hermann gets punched right at his temple by Theo.
Causing him to fall on the ground and lose his bag of breads.
"Ah! What was that for!" Hermann looked up at Theo towering over him.
Before Theo throws a kick right to his stomach.
Hermann gushed out saliva out of his mouth the moment Theos feet connected.
"Hey! Stop it...we're in the public." The others called it.
Theo looked around.
Realizing because of his impulses forgot they were in the middle of the streets with people watching everywhere.
"Tsk" Theo sounded.
Before he grabbed the bag of breads on the ground and left.
Hermann watched as they slowly leave with people still watching in shock around him.
He slowly got up from his feet, wiping away the saliva on his lips.
Before he left as well.

Hermann slowly walked through the dark streets all battered and bruised up but no visible sign of blood on his face but it was stained on his clothes.
The moon shining over.
It was when he stood and turned around to face a building.
A door stood right in front him.
He slowly inhaled deep into his lungs before exhaling it all out.
He slowly raised his hand and touched the handle.
And turned it.

Creak
As the door slowly opened, light flashed him for a second before gradually going down.
A man sat on the couch reading a newspaper whilst smoking.
And a woman was in the kitchen washing the dishes.
Hermann stepped in the house.
And just went upstairs ignoring them.
And both acted indifferent seeing him walk upstairs.
When Hermann reached upstairs, He entered one of the rooms.
Slowly and carefully, he peaked inside.
A rather small room with cure decorations.
And the window wide open with the moonlight seeping in.
But what Hermann focused on was a little girl on the bed.
She had a bandage over her head, covering her eyes and ears.
The little skin being revealed was covered in burns like she got on fire.
Hermann went inside and the floor boards cracked.
"Hm? Is that you Hermann?" She said.
"Its me." Hermann gave a slight smile on his face.
He grabbed a chair near them and placed it down right next to her and sat.
"How was your day Hermann? What took you so long? Its night time right?" She asked.
"It is. I was just hanging out with my friends."
"Heh, I know that you didn't, I know a lot about you. What were you doing?"
"No, its true, I was hanging out with my friends!"
"Hmph! Liar!"
"Oh come on! You never believe me!"
"I always believe you! But I also know when your lying, liar!"
Hermann soon chuckled and she followed with a chuckle as well.
