Manny paused on a roof 15 minutes away from Racket Ave. He needed just a few more moments to ponder things. Was this legit or a trap? In all his time fighting crime, he has never been contacted personally, so this raised a bit of suspicion.

All Manny knows about Ditch is that they are some sort of cyber vigilante, who is apparently extremely talented. He still can't get the sound of that weird voice echoing from literally every screen in the city. Despite the voice distortion, you could tell Ditch meant business. If they would go as far as sending him a personal email, something had to be up.

Making up his mind, Manny continued on. There was no time to waste if he wanted to make it by midnight.

The closer Manhattan got to Racket, the darker and dirtier it got. He didn't come to this part of town much. Nobody really did. This area was pretty much abandoned, save for all the junkies. This is where the trash ends up.

The buildings started to get shorter as he neared his destination, so he took to lower ground. He lowered his earbuds when he got to Racket Ave. The dank air was quite unpleasant, so he raised his collar to cover the lower half of his face. 

Arriving at 4315, Manny thought it was a rather large place to be having a meeting and he figured he might not be the only one coming. He noticed the doors were slightly ajar as if someone had already gone in ahead of him. Was it Ditch? Perhaps someone else? Caution set in as Manny took one more good look around and carefully approached the door. 

He stepped in and noticed that the place kind of looked like an auditorium. It was pretty dark until he saw lights flickering up ahead around what could be the stage.

Then, he heard the growling. He looked over to see two figures. They were hard to make out in the dark, but it looked like a young girl who seemed to be holding something and some sort of monster with emerald eyes. This would have definitely read as a trap, except for the fact that they weren't advancing on him. The girl was standing pretty still and the beast seemed to be protecting her. This couldn't have been Ditch; she appeared to be lost. Perhaps she was also summoned here.

Not wanting to startle anybody, he calmly called out to her.
