The time between the girl and the two was long hard and cold. Bitterness between them was thick in the air as Fox continued his seemingly endless amount of pushups. His features were different now; longer hair which was unkept and danced around his forehead.his playful demeanor seemed like a far way breeze, Antonio wasn't anywhere to be found. It had been a long time since he had seen his old friend. He would have missed him, but sleep wasn't a part of his new diet. Work laced with more work was his new focus, gotta get somewhere fast? Do it yourself.
He when for a short jog to clear his head before his next meeting, his jog took him down an old road that he hadn't seen in years, new houses and commecial billboards sprung up from nowhere; but that didn't bother him in the slightest. He was a rock. "Hey, its been a while" she said to him. It was kay, and he knew it. Part of him wanted to explode out of this dark area he'd been in, but a larger part remembered what had happened in the past. How easily she had just walked away because of a situation that was meaningless. Flashbacks of oh she said they were bestfriends, shattered because of a rash decision she made so long ago.
He stopped and started to turn to face her slowly. Freezing before he faced her a flash of anger moved over him."If you see kay around tell her that we miss her"
"But I am kay silly" she said with a nervous laugh
"Hmph" he turned back around and started back on his path. Her forced smile melted away as she realized what she had done; pushed away a good friend because of what someone else had to say.
He reached his destination, a stasis lab across town. There he was, Antonio floating in a 1000 gallon tank as if being prepared for somthing. "How long?" Fox said to one of the technions, " well..it could be any day now sir, we just need him to let go" the small man nervously studdered out. Fox strangled the other 7 that tried to say that Antonio would never be ready in time, Fox knew something that now one else did. He walked up to the container and banged on it as if to get Antonio's attention. "The merger will happen soon, don't worry"
