It's not like anything anyone has told me the Killjoys they aren't evil the don't seem evil at least. I opened my eyes to a bright room my shoulder screamed as I attempt to lift my head off of the ground. I heard the door squeak open Party coming close to me without a word he grabbed my bad shoulder I screamed out but he didn't seem to care at all as he pulled me up pushing me forewords tears filled my eyes the pain sprouting everywhere. He pushed me down a hallway into what seems to be a diner. I stopped in my tracks as he walked ahead of me looking straight into my eyes with a hard look "what?, not going to run?" He asked folding his arms tapping his foot I leaned my head down ignoring him he grunted pulling a knife from his pocket walking past me a felt his hands grip the rope pinning me back "that's a shame a was looking forward to shooting you in the back". I swallowed hard as the last string of my rope snapped "Thanks" I choked out coughing afterwards he sneered at me walking over to the bar he banged his fist against the hard surface over the bar repeatedly screaming "GHOUL HEY GHOUL". The man that I head butted in the nose popped up from behind the bar placing three cans in front of Party. He grabbed the cans walking past me somewhat growling, Ghoul went to walk past me and I stopped him my dry mouth not helping in the situation "is- is your nose okay?" I stuttered swallowing hard my mouth getting dryer by the second. He smiled slightly at me nodding he patted my shoulder harshly I winced in pain at his touch, "what's wrong?" He questioned me I bit my tongue hard before trying to talk "I was hit, by something". He looked over at Party but, he was more concerned on eating, "here let me take a look" he motioned toward my shoulder I slowly unzipped my jumpsuit just far enough so I could slide my arm from my sleeve. His eye widened "I surprised you're even moving like you are" he exclaimed "they shot you with a gamma ray beam, they were out to not only kill you but to cause a slow painful death". I was taken back by the news "they said if I surrendered-" I was cut off by Party taking in all the information "let me guess they said you would be returned to your so called family". I looked shocked at him "they lie haven't you realized it yet" he continued rising from his booth "I'll get the bandages". Just like that he left I turned back to Ghoul looking at my shoulder "hey can I ask you something?" He nodded in approval "what's wrong with him?" I asked nodding towards the direction of Party he sighed not taking his eyes off of the wound "your industry has taken a lot away from him, he's a broken man" he started "there were more of us, a lot more". He dropped his hands walking towards the bar. I decided that was the international stop talking sign, Party re-entered the room tossing Ghoul wraps. He quickly grabbed them rushing back to me he held my shoulder tight starting to wrap the wound I cried out before my hand shot up covering my mouth. Tears rolled down my face as he continued wrapping, he pinned it quickly before letting go. He turned toward me motioning me towards the booth with Party, walking over I sat down across from him folding my hands on the table. "So what happened to your paradise?" He smirked at me grimly.
