"There's an old apartment building about half a mile from here--it's been condemned. They haven't torn it down yet. I'm pretty sure we could get it for rent really cheap--it's really not in bad condition... it's just nobody wants to live there because they found like 300 or so dead bodies in the basement and apparently the former owner was responsible for all the deaths, so people are kind of scared off," he said, standing up and putting on a hat to keep off the sun. "You may want to buy a hat while we're out--the sun is pretty strong and you're... a very fair skinned person."

"Well it couldn't hurt." I say, and try to invision myself wearing a cowboy hat, and almost laugh. "And that sounds like a good enough building. If no one's interested in living there it makes it better."

"Cool, let's get going," he says, putting on his sunglasses as he opens the door. The sun is bright and not many people are out so early in the morning. It's not too early, but early enough for people to still be in their homes eating breakfast.
"Oh, and watch out for pick-pockets."

"Don't worry." I say. I'm not worried about my pockets being picked, mostly because I would get my wallet back at the expense of the pickpocket's life if nessasary. "So if I'm going to get a hat where should we go?"

"Market place," Freak Boy said. "Do you speak Spanish--if not then just leave the haggling to me. Prices are pretty inconsistent in the market place. The wealthier/dumber you look, the more expensive things are."

"Well I can't speak Spanish, so maybe I should let you take care of it. I'll pick one out and you get the price down to a reasonable level."

"Ok," Freak Boy says, leading the way into the market place.
He leads the way to a booth specifically for the sale of hats, then turns to Zero. "Pick one out."

It doesn;t take me long to find a black felt cowboy hat that fits me, and I hand it to Freak Boy. "Okay, do your part..."

Freak Boy starts talking in quick-paced Spanish with the man behind the table. They go back and forth for about three minutes and Freak Boy says something and gestures to Zero.
"Look pissed," he whispers to her.

"Okay." I say and my face goes sour. I put my hand in my pocket too...

Freak Boy speaks fast Spanish with the man, slightly more in control of the situation now and then finally gets the hat at a very good price.
"Here you go, Zero," he said, handing her the hat. "Now let's go see if we can rent the building."

"Thank you." I say as I put on the hat and we start walking. "So what are you expecting for the building? And do you think we could set up a 'rent to own' deal?"

"Probably," he said, heading towards the bus-stop. "I'm not sure how much we'll end up renting for it, but hopefully not too much... if we're ridiculously lucky we might be able to buy it at auction."

(To Alejos) Mike had been exceptionally depressed. Because of this he seperated himself from the rest of the rebels before the base was attacked. He was wandering around some country in South America, He didn't know which one but it was not Brazil because they spoke Spanish.
He was just wandering without a real purpose. He wondered where everyone else was before bumping into a vaguely familar person.

"Okay, I guess we'll just see when we get there... Hopefully it's a good deal." I say.
