The sounds of a wrecking ball colliding with an old apartment building were heard a few blocks across the city. The driver inside watched the wreckage fall into the safe zone with a smile warped on his face "Getting paid to smash stuff! Haha! You gotta love this job"

When the worker went at it again, he created a large opening, which revealed a pale-looking man in a trench coat. Roaches crawled across his skin and attire. When the operator went to do it again, his coworker shouted for him to stop before he did something he'd regret

"Heck is wrong with you Joe? Watch where you're swingin'"

"Well gahlee, Bob," Joe said in a sarcastic voice "I definitely knew some idiot was livin' in this God-forsaken wreck!!"

"Get out of our home" The man said, staring daggers at the two of them. They looked at each other with raised brows, before turning their attention to the bug-infested man

"I hate to break it to you, pal, but this building's condemned by order of Councilwoman Liang"

"Yeah, so move it or lose it!" Joe shouted, wanting to get back to smashing stuff

The man gave no answer, he only stared at them with a gaze that they would deem weird. Slowly, he raised his hands as a flurry of bugs came out of the apartment and toward the workers. While Bob was able to get away, Joe was stuck in his seatbelt before he was forced out of his seat and brought into the air by flies

"Get these things off me!" He said in fright as he was brought over toward the one controlling them

"Well if you think they're bugging you now..." Releasing his control, he allowed Joe to drop to the floor before he controlled more to carry him into the air. With the councilwoman's name in mind, he set off to pay her a visit

"After a devastating earthquake, New York citizens are left with demolished homes and businesses as they hope to rebuild" The news lady said over the radio

"Earthquake?" Gwen said as she and Max shared a look

"There's no way nobody saw what happened" He said, trying to wrack his brain for where this lie could've come from. While they were busy listening to the radio, you and Ai were sitting at the table while playing rock, paper, scissors

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Dang it!" You complained after your next loss. You'd only won three times while Ai was beating you by a large margin. While you were trying to figure out why you were losing so much, Max pulled over to the side

Soon, a red car sped past before two police cruisers followed suit. After they had passed the RV, you and Ai shared a smile "You think this one's an alien robot too?"

"Only one way to find out"

Max turned around to speak against you going out there, but the RV door was already being closed by Ai before he could speak. The little girl closed the door And saw Max and Gwen looking at her "What?"
