Claude was getting frustrated. Any attempts that he had made to leave the city upon growing bored with it had been thwarted...somehow. He still wasn't completely sure how he kept ending up in the middle of the LAX central terminal no matter what form of transportation that he attempted to leave the city via, but he had come to the conclusion after his fifth try, an attempt to take a bus to somewhere, anywhere else in California, that he was right and properly stuck. When he had used to describe LA as a blackhole vortex on the coast of California, he had never imagined that the description would become so literal. Claude had never been in the position that had couldn't leave a place before. He had always just been able to pack up and leave whenever any place had caused him issues, or he hadn't felt safe in the area. But since that wasn't an option this time, Claude did whatever he did when something posed a difficult issue that he didn't really want to think about.
He drank.
Or at least, he had been drinking. The half empty 6 pack of beer was sitting on the fire escape next to him, touching the side of his hip just enough that it stayed invisible as he peered down into the alleyway. There wasn't too much to see, really. Just a couple of really pale grumpy teenagers hanging out, and... Oh, wait a minute. Had they just grabbed someone off the sidewalk? Well, shit. He knew LA's crime rate was high, but he certainly hadn't been expecting this.
