C-047

You decide that the best place to get answers will be in downtown Hong Kong. You get up and start walking.

It turns out to be a long walk. By the time you reach the city limits, you're dirt tired. But you're hungry more than anything else.

Up the road, you see a restaurant. You decide you want to check it out. But then you realize you have no money. You have nothing other than the clothes on your back. The school took all of your money and belongings once the Chinese government took over. The school provided everything you needed, but going back there isn't an option.

As you are thinking about this, you hear a voice behind you. You turn around quickly.

A man is standing there in front of you. He is dressed like he is the member of a street gang, the type of guys you tried to avoid back at home. He speaks English with a heavy accent. He glares at you.

"You look like you're lost my friend," he says. "You need any help?"

"I don't need your help," you say. "just back off and leave me alone."

You hear footsteps behind you. It is another guy, dressed in a similar outfit. You begin realize you just unknowingly walked into a trap.

"You shouldn't be disrespectful to those who are trying to help you," the guy behind you says. He just happens to be holding a iron pipe.

You hear the sound of a click. The guy in front of you is now brandishing a switchblade.

"Perhaps we can teach you some respect the hard way punk," he says. "You're disrespecting us on our turf, and now you're going to pay the price."

You have to think fast.
