Meeting new Freinds (Lance/Chao)

Lance walked through the streets of Magnolia with his hood up. There were rain clouds in the sky and it kind of fit the mood Lance was in. Just a few days ago his daughter had been kidnapped by someone and he didn't have a chance to see who it was and chase after them. He was pretty worried but he had to stay strong.

He walked into the bar and sat own at the counter "I would like one beer please..." he muttered without taking off his hood. The bartender looked at Lance with a worried expression as he poured the beer "You alright Lance? Your not acting normal..." he muttered as he handed Lance the beer. Lance nodded a bit as he took a sip "Yes... I am fine...."

Lance was startled when he was suddenly nudged a bit. He stared at the man for a while before shaking his head "Why do you care?" Lance asked before taking another sip of his beer "its not like me telling you is going to help her..." He then muttered as he took yet another sip.

It's not that Lance didn't want the help it was the fact that he didn't want innocent people getting caught up in the mess that was his past. He has had the loss of close friends and relatives due to them getting caught up in it and he wasn't about to let other people get caught up in it either.

Lance was quiet for a while before talking again "I am sorry for acting like that..." he muttered before setting his glass down "Its just that I don't want you getting caught up in this problem either..."
