West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

His life had fallen into a routine and the man wasn't sure he was happy about it. Sure, he had a garage where he could work on bikes and cars to his heart's content and call it a job, but he'd lost things in the meantime. Adelaide went back to France and took a piece of his heart with her that he'd never get back. He knew he could have gone with her, but something was holding him back. Maybe he'd change his mind some day, but for now, he felt like he needed to be here. So the man did his best to push her from his thoughts and went about his days. Sleep, work, sleep, work. He got to know some of the guys at the garage. Tony was a cool guy and Dean wasn't all that bad either, at least when they got to drinking. Taylor was never a lush or anything like that, but he enjoyed a couple beers with the guys every few nights just to take the edge off and rant about their day.

It was looking like one of those nights when he clocked out, already thinking about a cold beer and some leftover pizza when he got back to the apartment. Taylor waved to the guys and told them he'd call them, deciding he'd go home first and probably chow down on the pizza first before meeting them, that way he'd be able to hold his alcohol a little better. Didn't need no bar fights tonight. He'd usually take his Harley to and from the shop but the new part had just come in last week and Taylor had been meaning to park it long enough to install it. He tried to start it over the weekend and ended up on the phone with his mom so he had to put off putting the bike back together until he had the time. Therefore, it was still parked for the moment. Oh well, he could use the fresh air.

Taylor headed down the sidewalk and headed toward his apartment. He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until he heard the guy on the phone whining rather loudly about being pushed. It was out of curiosity more than anything that he even turned his head, but when he did, all he could see was a man glaring after a woman who was already walking off to a corner without a second glance. She didn't even apologize or shoot him a glare back. Huh. Usually, Taylor wouldn't find that odd, but the man just looked like a prick so he knew he would have said something if it was him. Maybe she was headed somewhere important. But something about the way she moved around the corner made him second glance anyway. Sighing, Taylor ran a hand through his hair and headed in that direction, trying to be sly as he peeked around the corner. That's when he saw her flipping through a wallet and taking cash out of it.

He caught a glimpse of a picture in the wallet, a man and a woman and the man looked pretty familiar. He couldn't help but smirk a little as he leaned around the corner a little. "I'm going to say that's not a picture of you and your significant other, if only cause he didn't seem too happy to see you a second ago."
