The Night Shift Bernard looks about, keeping the cloak over his body, clenching in pain with each step he took. Tonight was too rough for him, nearly killed him. He remembered the deep claw marks clenching into his shoulder, almost puncturing a blood vessel near his neck. He had to get his med kit out before Red and Fergus finds out about his outings. Itl be a pain to wash the blood out of his black fur. Luckily, his white chest fur didn get dripped. How I manage to keep my chest clean was sheer dumb luck, He thought. As he looks up, he spots the usual sign he always has for the past ten years; The Mass Caf. He digs into his pocket, and found his key. It was too late for business hours, so knowing Red and Fergus, he thought, theyl be asleep by now. He slides the key within the lock and turns it. He grips the doorknob quickly, trying to keep the door as quiet as possible. Bernard opens the door and slides in, shutting the door behind him silently. He walks slowly pass the tables and the bar, heading towards the stairs. orning Bernard.

Fergus halts and grabs the nearest whiskey bottle and a towel, then looks back towards Bernard, with a snarl look. bet your fucking pardon but you expect me to just let you go upstairs like nothing happened. es, this is my body and this is my responsibility. esponsibility? This isn responsibility Bernard; this is you wanting to kill yourself. And I know exactly why.
