*Tenement Building* *South Bronx*
Sometime after midnight...

The taxi pulls up and parked at the side of the pavement.
Outside an worn down and shabby three story building, decay with age and neglect.

Door Open

Bigby and Red stepped out of the taxi, Door Close
He pulled out a pack as Red turn and walk up to the front of the vehicle.
Bigby gets out and lights up a cigarette, taking a puff
Red meanwhile was thanking the driver and paying the cab fee.

Once Red had pay, the taxi drove away as Bigby gets out a folded piece of paper from his trouser pockets.
The woman turned around as he open it and looked down the writing display on the paper.
"This looks like the place" Bigby stated as Red went to stand next to him.
"I wonder why Toad

Walking walk before enter ing building towards looked at across the street back

It's a bit late for a sheriff call at this hour

*Inside*

Noises...Voice...

Toad's at the bottom of the stairs, looking up as Mary and Fiyero are standing nearby.

Door Open

"Mr Toad" Bigby said his name as he and Red enter the building.

Toad nervously turn around to see Sheriff Bigby and Deputy Red standing there.
"Bigby! Red!" he greeted with nervous laugh as the girl notice two other people there.
"Hello Mary, Fiyero" Red greet them politely.

"Listen, mates, I know I don't look human! It's a problem, I get it, I just stepped out the apartment for just a second to see what kind of a damage this drunk shit is doing" Toad explained, pointing upstairs.
"Just cut me a break, yeah? I'll get my glamour first thing in the morning" Toad tells him.

Toad put his hand across his chest, "Cross my heart" he said.
"No need to make a fuss. Look, no harm done..." Toad added.
"Look Toad, I'd give you a pass, okay, but listen...If you can't afford to look human, you're going to the farm. It's simple as that" Red tells him.
Making him look at her in disbelief, "You can't send me up to live with those animals..." Toad trail off with disgust display on his face.
Bigby raised his eyebrow, "You know what I mean" Toad grunted with a scowl.
"Go see a witch. Get a glamour" Bigby told him, firmly as he's patience thinner by the minute.
Toad shake his head in disappointment, "Bigby. Red. They're bleeding us dry" Fiyero
"He's right. The quality of the spell goes down, but the rates keep climbing up" Mary
"Do you have any idea how much it costs to have an entire family with glamour?" Toad questioned, angrily.
"We don't make the rules. Sorry" Red apologise to the frog.

"I can't give you a free post on this, Toad. Our hands are tied. Whatever it costs, it's worth it" Bigby tells him as his head was low down.

"Right, Right..." Toad mumble in defeated.

"You don't want us catching you there. There's too much at stake" Bigby stated, tapping his cigarette.

Then suddenly...

Dust trickled from the ceiling before behind the Sheriff and Deptuty, an TV fallen out of the window.

"Fuckin' hell" Toad exclaims, hands on his head.

Exclaims shrieked covering come down
Fuckin hell hands on with head

"See? This is what I called you two about" Toad stated, gestured to the TV

"Fuck you!"

"I didn't know someone else was up there" Fiyero said as he and Mary share a worried look at each other.

Crash!

"We better go now" Red told Bigby firmly before she turns and immediately headed up the stairs.
Bigby went and tosses his cigarette on the ground before going up the stairs after the girl.

"Thank you" Toad called from the bottom stairs, waving his hand.

"Furry pricked gobsite...Telling me how to spend my money" Toad mutters under his breath before...spit!

"Dad?"

His son pokes his head out from the open door, "The lights shaking again" he inform him.

"What's I say? You want the Big Bad Wolf and his deputy to take you away?" Toad ask his son, taunting him.
Making the younger toad becoming shy and meek like, "No..."
"Then get the fuck back inside!" Toad tells him as he walk over to his son, throwing one of his arms up in the air.

*Upstairs*

Voices

The made it to the top of the stairs where they can hear a mix of yelling and swearing.

"...you're gonna know who I fuckin am?"

Finding themselves in a hall of tattered walls, noticing the conditions of this building more.

"You hear me? Hey! Look at me!"

Phone dangling loosely from the holder, Beep...Beep...Hums...Hums....
Matchbox lying on the floor along with sone other trash strewn about.

"Just stop okay? You're drunk!"

Bang!...Thuds!

Bigby and Red look at each other before deciding to head towards the door where all this noises is coming from.

"Hey! Look at me!"

Walking down the hall, past the many doors of the tenants who live in this building.

"Get off of me!"

Scream!

Once the two made it to the door, Knock...Knock...

..... ..... .....

Nobody answer the door so Bigby went and knock again, but louder.

Bang!...Bang!

It's the same result as before as no one came to answer the door.
"How rude" Red remarked, annoyed as she went and put her hand on the doorknob.
