Clive looked incredulously up at Shane.  “Are you trying to be funny?”

“No, I’m sorry.  It’s a hard thing to wrap my head around.”  Shane pursed her lips.  “Are you sure they will think you killed…her?”

“Well I think the fact that they started shooting at me as I took of running may be a reason to thing I’m guilty.” 

“Oh…we can go to the police.”  Shane offered helpfully.

Clive laughed bitterly.  “Right…I thought people were kidding, but you really did go soft.  Just what am I supposed to say?  Hey, sorry to bug you but I stumbled across a body where I work as a John, oh by the way the mob is after me?”  Clive glared. 

“What the fuck do you want me to do?  It’s not like I can hide you at my place it burned down.”  Shane reached into her pocket and pulled out a small roll of bills.  “Here take this, it isn’t much but you can get a bus ticket to your mom’s and some food.” 

Clive grabbed it quickly stuffing them into his own pockets.  “What am I supposed to wear, this bloody fucking shirt?” 

“Fuck if I know all I have is this fucking shirt and you have managed to muddy it up.”  Shane pointed out.  “Don’t you have anything else?” 

“I think I may have forgotten to pack as I was getting my ass shot at!” 

Shane narrowed her eyes at the sandy haired young man.  “Look I can make a phone call; I know a place not far from here.  They have some of my clothes; maybe she can meet me with them.”  She walked up the alley and searched for her fallen mobile, eventually locating a very broken and smashed phone.  “You fucking owe me a new phone when this shit is over.”  She warned.

Clive grinned and threw his arms over her shoulder.  “You really have gone soft…”  A deafening blast caused him to turn his head in time to see the light of a muzzle being fired.  With quick reflexes he tugged at Shane’s arms once before taking off down the alley climbing a pile of trash and hopping over a flimsy gate.  He never once looked back instead he ran until his lungs ached painfully and called for him for air.  His head pounded painfully and his muscles burned with lack of adrenaline.  Slowing enough to cross into an abandoned building he hunkered down for the night.  Falling into an exhausted sleep he never had a moment to think why Shane had not followed him.
