Vincent walked past Marissa and Nita without saying a word. “Where are you going?” Said Nita. “Getting back my shit and beating down that punk” he said. “Wait!” Said Marissa as she grabbed his arm. Vincent ignored her and kept walking for a second until Marissa dragged him down to the ground. “What’s your deal?” He yelled back at her. “What about Nate?” She said. “What about him?”. “We have to find him first!”. As they struggled, Marissa looked to Nita for help. “Nita, tell him something!” She said. “Yeah, uh, Nate must be shivering with terror!” said Nita, with her best reasoning. “You are not helping” said Marissa. “Okay, fine. Back to the guild, and then we look for the thief.” Said Vincent as he caved in. “And Nate, too!” said Marissa.
