《The Criminals》New place
Advertisement
After a few minutes of driving in Ruby City, Alex arrives in front of the address where his new place is located and where he will live there from now on. Alex enters the building, and right when he was about to climb the stairs to the floor where his new apartment is located, someone, who is a male, with short orange hair, who wears a shirt with flames and ripped jeans, stopped him and asks a question.
"Hello! Who are you?"
"Hello!" replied Alex to that man. "I came here to move to my new house."
"Oh, you mean the one who got recently furnished on the third floor?"
"Um... Yeah, that one with the number three zero two," says Alex to the guy.
"Cool... The name is Robert. And I am third floor two, number three zero five to be precise." says Robert while he and Alex handshakes their hands.
"My name is Alex. Alex Rodriguez."
"Sorry to say this, but you are Spanish?"
"Yeah, is it a problem?"
"No! Of course, it isn't a problem," says Robert being honest with Alex. "But you ain't one of those, right? I-I mean the gangster."
"No. I am not a gangster," says Alex to Robert making him feeling relieved.
"Alright. If you need any help in the future, you know where to find me. Bye!" says Robert while he is leaving the complex building.
"What a good neighbour." thought Alex to himself while he is climbing the stairs to the third floor. "I just hope he is not a guy who is on drugs or a heroin addict if I have to consider what clothes he is wearing."
Alex arrives in front of the door of his new apartment, inserts the key into the hole at the door to open it, rotates it twice in the clockwise sign, then opens it. When the door has been opened, Alex notices that his new house is furnished and quite small, but for Alex, the size of the house does not matter, as long as he has a bedroom, a TV, a bathroom, a sofa and why not, a kitchen, he is happy. Alex's new home features a sofa that you can find nearly any antique shop that has been used and sewn, a TV that works pretty well for a decade-old one because it's one of the "Tauras" brands, a TV that sits on a small and quite old coffee table, this TV you can find in almost any old electronics store in North-Eastern Europe at a fairly acceptable price for a product that can explode at any moment.

The furnished apartment features a bed that doesn't look so old and weak, but can also be used in sex with a woman with big bones. Alex's bedroom features a wardrobe, but it's empty. He's going to go to cousin Chris late to get the clothes he left there. Alex comes out of his bedroom, heads to the kitchen, and there he glances at his kitchen, notices that the kitchen appliances are of good quality and within reach of any beginner chef, but Alex doesn't even know how to cook a simple egg in the pan.
When Alex comes out of the kitchen he sits on the couch, has the remote control from the TV on the couch, turns on the TV, and the first channel that appears is the news channel, and the news that this channel shows is about the fire of the villa where Minoru lives. Alex was amazed at how quickly he had since this fire. The reporter at the scene said: "We are now facing the fire where the famous Japanese businessman, Minoru Hujima, who raised dozens of small companions to the heights, has his villa on fire. At the moment, he is not at his house because, with the help of his guards, they explained that Mr. Hujima is away on a business trip to Saphire Island. We're going to try to contact Mr. Hujima and explain to him the fact that we didn't catch criminals who did this, but we're definitely going to catch them easily. Until then, I'm contacting my colleague in Rome, Naughtiux Maximus, who will tell us about how a woman managed to bring ten children with autism into the world while she was having a picnic with her lover, who is the brother of the husband she is married to."

After a few seconds, Alex closes the TV, he is looking at the clock on his watch and it looks like it is time to go back to work. He gets off from the couch, he is heading to the door, he is leaving the house, and then locks the door like every man who lives alone or with a little family who is not at home. While Alex was heading to work, something bad is happening at Chris's office.
