Jason walked on the pavement, his legs moving in steady steps. It was evening already and Jason was using where he was going as an excuse not to go home. The street was surprisingly deserted, no pedestrians or cars in sight. The air smelled stale and Jason did his best not to gag on it.
'Looks like people are inside their houses.' He thought. "But it's still early in the evening. I wonder why.'
He finally reached his destination. It was an alleyway beside a grocery shop that had already been closed. Jason looked left and right before he turned into the alley. As soon as he did, he was met with an unexpected scene.
He saw a girl being hoisted by her boyfriend and they were making out in the alley. It was a bit dark but Jason could tell that the couple's jeans and bum shorts were down to their ankles. Guess they were too nervous to think straight. She was moaning softly, but the sounds echoed through the alley.
'Seriously,' Jason raised an eyebrow in annoyance. "I hate this law that nut job of a president allowed.' A law had been issued that couples could have public sex without any charge of any crime and horny people were taking it to their advantage. The only downside was that it still felt awkward for people to catch them in the act.
As soon as the couple saw him, they detached themselves as quickly as lightning, quickly putting on their clothes. Clearly, they had not expected someone to see them or even be here..
"Shit," the boy muttered in annoyance, as he stepped out of the darkness zipping his jeans and then squinting. "Wait a minute, it's that freak at school. What the fuck are you doing here?"
Jason didn't reply but he had recognised him. He was the twin brother of Maria. Guzmán Tevez. And the girl must be Winter, his girlfriend. Both were elite students, family was rich and they were in the high class.
He didn't talk to them but they did mock and make his life miserable in school.
"Shit," Winter muttered, buckling her shorts. "He fucking saw us."
Guzman stepped forward again and spoke, his voice low and threatening. "I'll ask again. Why the fuck are you here?"
Jason didn't reply, he simply brushed past him and then walked further until he found the door he was looking for. He knocked on the door twice then stopped then he knocked three times. He then waited for a minute, and then the door opened.
Standing in front of him was a tall, huge, gruff man who had a star tattoo on his forehead with dangly earrings and a huge crop of beard covering his chin. He looked menacing as he stared at Jason but the latter remained unfazed.
"Password, boy?" The man called out.
Jason grinned, remembering the password instantly as he had been to this place many times. It was Terry who had introduced him to this place and showed him around. Now he was here to recruit someone he hadn't met in the past.
"Blue cheese. " Jason replied, not moving an inch.
The man observed him for a moment before stepping aside. "Come in."
Jason nodded then walked in, leaving Guzman and Winter dumbfounded in the alleyway. They heard the door slam shut and then silence reappeared. Guzman stared at the door, his face set in a deep frown.
"You saw that, right?" He told Winter.
"Yeah," Winter replied, finally zipping her shorts. "He knew the password to Red Fox nightclub. They don't just let in anyone."
"Is he part of them?" Guzman asked, removing his phone and checking the time.
"For him to know the password," Winter muttered. "He must be part of the gang and who knows when the bastard joined? That explains the new confidence he displayed in dumping Amelia in front of the whole school."
Guzman didn't say a word as he stared at the closed door, an unreadable expression on his face. To him, Jason had gotten a bit interesting. He was going to keep an eye on him.

Jason followed the man whose name was Del into a long hallway before they stopped at a metal door, which he unlocked with a key and opened it then stepped aside for Jason to enter.
"Have fun, kid." Del chuckled. "Maybe you'll be able to finally touch boob's since I bet you're one of those virgin twinks."
Meanwhile, he wondered how this unassuming teenager knew of the password. He didn't look special or even a street thug in the least. He looked like a nerd.
Jason ignored him and stepped inside. As soon as he did, the world changed instantly. Jason was assaulted with a show of bright purple, blue, violet, and indigo lights. Pop music blasted from huge speakers as people were hitting it on the dance floors.
Jadon walked further as he saw teenagers and adults discussing with one another inside booths, with champagne and alcohol on the tables. Female waiters in skimpy bikinis that nearly made him keel over.
"This place never gets old," Jason muttered as he slipped into the seat and observed the place. "The Red Fox never disappointed here."
The Red Fox gang was one of the most powerful gangs in the city. They were extremely deadly and brutal in their dealings. They were so powerful that they had cops, judges, high-ranking officials, and politicians on their payrolls. Heists and operations were never stopped. They were extremely successful. But one thing they were really known for was they're night clubs and this was one of the best in the city.
He later found out how Terry knew of the place. His father was a rich politician who had huge ties with the Red Foxes. And that was how he knew how to get to this place.
"Hey cutie," a young beautiful woman with a group of girls appeared and sat at his table. "You look so lonely all alone. How about a drink with us?"
"How about later?" Jason replied, trying not to look awkward at all. "I have a few things to finish right now."
The girl giggled, winking. "I'll hold you up to that." She got upstairs and walked away with her friends. As soon as they left, he got up and moved further into the club, making his way around until he reached the bathroom door. Beside the door was another door bu this time it was red.
Jason opened the door and walked inside. As he opened, there was a huge roar of voices. Jason found himself in a large circular room where men and women were cheering over something down below. There was a huge screen in front of where the men sat and Jason noticed money was either decreasing or increasing.
He walked and slipped into one of the vacant seats as he looked beyond the glass down below. In the huge sandy ring down below, two men were fighting inside.
Jason could hear the cheers and curses as each spectator must have bet on one of the fighters.
Before Jason went back in time, he had figured out the Red Fox main attraction. It wasn't the nightclub as he had initially thought, that was the cover to ward off authorities. This was the main attraction. The Red Fox gang held huge fights where contestants fought and got paid. Spectators bet on fights and it brought a lot of money to the gang. Also, talented fighters were immediately recruited by Red Fox and secret gangs that were also among the crowd.
This was why he was here. He needed to recruit someone he had noticed before he time-traveled. The funny thing was that the person didn't show much expectation until suddenly he became one of the deadly gangsters in the city.
'I really need that guy on my side,' Jason thought, as he watched the fighter wearing white shorts slam his knee into his opponent before a brutal uppercut knocked him out. 'He has to come out or do I need to find him?'
The spectators cheered and there were also groans of annoyance. Jason gazed at the ring waiting for the guy he desperately needed to come.
