The two end up leaving, and Victor talks along the way to Crips favorite coffee shop.

Victor: "You said this coffee shop is in town?"
Crip: "Yeah, I can find it once I get into town. These roads are just new to me."
Victor nods.
Victor: "So Rat doesn't like you."
Crip: "N-no..he was there back then. He was one of the ones who helped in my punishment."

Victor: "I heard a little bit about it."

He has...

Victor: "Seemed cruel to me, but then again I've done worse. Just never to someone who didn't deserve it."

Crip: "You think I didn't deserve it?"

Victor: "Red and I had words. At first, he was angry with O'Rileys words. He wanted to kill you, not work with O'Riley to ensure you live. I told him your death would start a war, and we could lose members. The Reapers would target us and it wouldn't be good."

Crip: "So you're the reason Red agreed. I thought it wasn't like him.."

Victor: "Yes. Don't tell anyone, but I can usually steer things in a better direction since I've got Reds ear. In the end he thinks it's his idea, when really I'm the one planting the seeds."

Crip: "That's...really smart."

Victor: "Why thank you."

They're quiet for a moment.

Victor: "I was assigned to watch over you, and that's what I'm gonna do. So you don't have to worry about Rat or any of the others. I'll protect you from everyone."

Crip smiles a bit, and they continue their walk until they reach town, then Crip leads the way to the Coffee Spoon.

They walk through the door and Crip immediately sees Jake.

Jake: "Everett, great to see you! I wanted to ask you something."

Crip steps up to the counter, Victor however, walks around the shop.

Crip: "What is it?"

Jake: "We're thinking of adding some new coffee flavors. You're a valued customer, so I wanted you to have samples of them all."

Crip: "Woah! Really? I'd love to test them all out!"

Jake: "I'll bring you a shot of each! Why don't you and your friend have a seat at the bar?"

Crip quickly nods, and goes to find Victor, who's staring at a painting on the wall.

Victor: "He a friend?"
Crip: "Not really. He just works here and I come in a lot."
Victor: "I see."
Crip: "Do you wanna sit at the bar with me?"
Victor smiles a bit.
Victor: "Sure, why not."

They sit at the bar and soon Jake brings out a few shot glasses with various colored coffees in them.

Jake: "Now be honest. If you don't like something we need to know in case we put it on the menu for good. Your opinion matters."

Crip nods and starts with the first one. Flavorful.

Crip: "I like this one. It tastes like a mocha but a bit different."

Jake: "That would be s'mores, we're thinking it'll sell well in the cold temperatures."

Crip: "Woah! Interesting."
He moves on to the second one.
Crip: "This one tastes almost like my vanilla latte."
Jake: "That one is white chocolate with a hint of vanilla."
Crip: "I really like it."
The next one.
Crip: "I dunno what this is but it's great!"
Jake: "Butter Pecan flavor. That's my new favorite."

He tries a couple more, ending up enjoying them all really.

Jake: "So we have your approval?"
Crip: "Absolutely! They're all great!"

Jake: "I'm so glad to hear that, they'll probably be on the menu by tomorrow then. Oh, but I do have all the ingredients. I can make any of them today if you want?"

Crip: "What about the butter pecan?"

Jake: "I can make it; large?"
Crip nods.
Jake: "And for you sir?"
Victor leans back on the bar stool.
Victor: "Straight black."
Dear lord! He's a beast!
Jake: "You got it."

As Jake leaves, Crip looks over to Victor, surprised.

Crip: "You drink espresso black?"

Victor chuckles a bit.
Victor: "I learned to like it at a young age. We're gonna take these to-go, because I'd love to show you more of our targets along the way to the hideout."

Crip nods, and soon they're both on the road again.
