Back in Black and blueandyellow: August

It's dark, cold and quiet in the poorer section of the city. The
old brick buildings are all dark and seem to lean towards you
for love. Dropping pieces of themselves in hopes you grab it and
put it back. The sound of bus stopping near by for the earliest
commuters can be heard from around the corner.

"Never fails..." He mumbled as he strained to move boxes away
from his warehouse. If he'd been more awake and less pummeled,
Jack might have looked to make sure none of the boxes had
listening/tracking/tech devices. If there was, who ever set it
would have to take a number and come back later.
He opened the door slowly. Reached in for the main lights switch
but stopped half-way and stared into the blankness with his left
side trying harder to focus. "No one better be **** here..... I
ain't taking **** today...."
The main lights flicked on as Jack stepped in and quickly closed
the door, removed his coat and scanned the area.
Everything was in the exact place he left it, 6 months ago.
Except.... Jack walked around one of his tables that had been
shifted a few centimeters to the west wall and found "chips?
Empty chip bags? f-cker." He grabbed them in haste and pushed
his table back and tossed the bags in the sink.
He continued his trek to the back of the warehouse. Jack sat on
his bed and began to remove his boots followed by his dirty
cloths. Bloody bandages. Old band aids. Caked on dirt. His new;
terribly unwanted; tattoo was starting to peel and itch. "This
thing.." groaning, he grabbed the med kit by his bed to clean up
the blisters, cuts and gashes. Pop a few pills out of an
unmarked bottle before laying down.
...."Lights off" Everything went dark and silent once more. "I
can start on the watch tomorrow when I finish cleaning up. Check
the cameras. Fix this warehouse." Jack curled under his blanket.
"...Maybe I'll see if anyone missed me" He laughed before
closing his eyes to continue his conversation in his head.

Time had been passing for egg. He didn't like to think on it,
and sometimes he did, but it happened slowly and uncomfortably
and with a sort of deadening odor he pretended he couldn't taste
around him. So he filled skylor's room with inflatable animals,
and when he realized he was at the xmanor, he locked the room
and let the dust settle.
Egg didn't delete ronnie's name off his phone, and he didn't
betray riska, he stayed off the pills he still owned, tucked
away somewhere out of sight as a tribute to one of the few times
the Grinch did something nice for him.
And he sometimes sat in Jack's warehouse.
And he ate chips, and fed the lobsters as best as he could
remember. And he gave them chips too, because maybe they needed
them for the same reason he did.
So when he came back again with a bag of doritos and a dvd to
watch on jack's tv, he didn't expect the room to look different
when he asked the lights to come on, and he didn't expect the
bags to be gone and the dirty clothing to be tossed around the
room instead.

Jack laid there with his eyes wide open. Did someone just turn
ON my fucking lights? He slowly peeked up over his blanket to
see some skinny ashhole in a grey coat holding a bright red bag.
"THE FUUUUCK" Jack hollared as he was now behind Egg in nothing
but his boxers and new band aids "ARE YOU DOING?"

Egg SQUAWKEd and ghosted a few feet away before facing him.
"JACK??" He asked the obvious question, looking him over quickly
trying to process the new information standing in front of him,
ruining his perfect night of moping.

Jack glared as he was fighting the smile creeping on his face.
"WHO THE FUCK ELSE IS GOING TO BE HERE?" He flexed and puffed up
to look bigger, and meaner. Even though his face didn't
cooperate.
He seemed heavier, but also like he'd missed a few meals too
often. Lots of bruises, blisters on his feet, band aids
scattered around his body and rough hands with possible
dirt/blood smudges everywhere. His hair was shaggier with the
black dye starting to fade to his natural brown.

Not quite sure how to reply to such a reasonable question, Egg
opted to throw the bag at Jack's face before pointing as
aggressively as he could.
"F-CK YOU??" And a beat before adding "I fed your lobsters?"
with an almost desperately confused, accusatory tone.

Jack caught the bag. "Lobsters? The fu- OH" Jack looked over at
the tank which screamed CLEAN ME. "uh.. Cool. Good. Lobsters."
He tossed the chips back. "Why are you here?" mumbled as he
started looking for a clean shirt and pants.

With a slight sputter, Egg tucked his dvd behind his back and
held onto the chips bag. "I- I don't know I just-" He rethought
his options and shoved his copy of Roboshark out defensively,
parrying the question quickly.
"Your TV is better. You?"

"Me?" He opened a drawer and pulled out a pair of pants. "I just
got back." Jack steadied himself to put them on after blinking
hard a few times. "You.. what's roboshark?" The sleep aid jack
took was making him lethargic while his eyes were constantly
adjusting.

"I really have no idea but it was on redbox" Egg tilted it to
look at the cover again before looking back up to Jack. He
looked over the new marks on him and frowned slightly.
"you uh... you wanna watch with? or something"
