While Marcus was trying over and over to get inside Club NeON but with very little success, Alex was walking calmly through the streets of Old Downtown after managing to lose the mercenaries that tried to catch him. He usually stayed away from the older parts of town mainly because of the seediness of the area. Drug dealers, street gangs, the mob, prostitutes. This part of town lost it's Hay Day back in the 70's it seemed. But since he had nothing else better to lose today, and he needed a place to lay low...he noticed a bright metallic and neon sign outside a run down stripper bar, called 'The Cat Scratch'. Alex only could raise an eyebrow in question, as the place looked like the only building with at least some slight decency inside.<br/><br/>Thinking just the music itself could calm his nerves, the young teenager walked through the main doorway, soon stopped by the burlesque bodyguard standing there. "Hold up" he spoke out in a deep dark voice. "You 18?". Alex knew for a fact he wasn't going to be able to get in, even if he said he was the proper age. Pulling out a small envelope from his bag, he placed it into the bodyguard's hand, allowing him to open and see inside. $200 dollars all in twenties were there and ready to be spent. "I think that should speak for itself" The bodyguard just shrugged, opening the door and allowing Alex inside.<br/><br/>The loud music boomed from each direction, avoiding the half drunk patrons and soon seeing a girl dancing up at the main stage. But to his surprise...it was his friend Evony from school who was dancing away to the customers. For now however...he kept his distance, being quiet as he watched however some of the other patrons get a bit too close to her.
