Andezstand?

6pm, 16th February
At the freeway, New York

While cruisin in his convertible, Andez mind starts wanderin off to yester years. It has been a long time since he has taken a trip back to Malaysia. How much so he missed the food there and all his friends, especially Matt and Charlize. It is been a long time since he has caught up with him. Those college days and random bar hoppings with the bunch seems like just yesterday. He still remembered how they had became such close buddies. It was back in the highschool gangster days when he met Matt. The funny part was Matt was helpin the opposin gang when they were trashin out their conflict with one another. As usual, these conflict were never resolve peacefully, just hopefully not to bloody. Matt was the only one who stood his ground when everyone has fled, and he even given him a bruise or two. With almost 30 people surrounding him, he could still stare Andez in the face. That was when they shook hands and that was when Andez gained respect for him. "How did they got close ?" he wondered for a second. "Ahh, yes... Carmen" he smiled to himself almost giggling at how foolish he was when he was pursuing her. Matt was Carmen's brother, they both have similar features in fact. Very pan-asian and both with natural light brown eyes.

Thinkin' about his gangster days, suddenly another memory flooded him. Havin been the leader, Andez have always felt the pressure of keepin up to his status. And that particular day, was one that he had regretted; even til now. That is because he had taken the order of his superior to beat up this lawyer, and what was suppose to be just a warnin ended up in the obituary section of the following day's newspaper. It was lucky as he was not caught. But nevertheless, it took him so many years of sleepless night and drinking to drown away that guilt. It never really did. Just right about then, he stepped on the pedal and zoomed off to his clubhouse.
