*Corruption is rampant in Lego City, the police are overwhelmed by the mass crime. The Criminal Underworld is thriving. Gangs are disguised as businesses.
21:00 5th of October. 21st Freedom Street, Eastern District, Lego City island.
*Phone rings*, *Picks up the phone*
Johnny: Hello?
???: Eh Johnny, you owe us 300 likes.
Johnny: Sorry I cant pay up
???: Aw, how sad. It’s a shame be if something happened to all your stuff to’night, you hear me, mate?
Johnny: Listen I cant pay insurance, the mayor delayed our payment till the 8th of October
???: Oh shame, fine. We’ll give you till tommorow to pay up. If you fail your stuff is as good as toast.
Johnny: But the payment is…
???: No buts… *Hangs up*
Johnny’s Pov: I will get out of this somehow. I wish I was payed earlier. I will go ask the other bus drivers. *Calls his friend*
Hobo: Who is this?
Johnny: Hey Hobo its me Johnny, so I’ve got home insurance to pay and they delayed the payments for us all, don’t you also have home insurance to pay?
Hobo: No, I live in the bus
Johnny: What?
Hobo: Yeah I live in the bus, eat cup noodles, get free water, I go to the dry cleaners and use public bathrooms.
Ah, As some may have guessed this was meant to be in the City forum, but I messed up. . So if you want to submit a character bio feel free, I will probably include you in later chapters. As of the moment I have a bout 10 more posts of this which I will be posting over the next bit of time.
*Johnny is eating his cereal when he turns on the TV*
Dig: Good morning, Ladies and Gentelmen. Thank you for tuning in on City News Daily. I am your host Dig Diggers. In todays morning news: The largest car stealing gang in Lego City, the infamous potato gang has been stopped.
Johnny’s Pov: Potato gang, what a bland and unscary name. Imagine if Batman called himself Potato man, no one would be afraid of him.
Dig: In other news, transport workers around the city have planned a strike, over missed payments. If you are a transport worker and you feel much about this cause, please don’t dismay and join the strike.
Johnny’s Pov: Great no work today, that means I could spend the day looking for money or hopefully the mayor will finally issue out my pay check. *Finishes cereal and gets in the car, and gets a phone call*
???: Hello Johnny…
Johnny: I will pay the debt today don’t worry, I will get the cash.

Chapter 2 part 3: Insurance (Long part)
Johnny’s Pov: I went around everywhere, it was useless. Only had one choice left, the Italian Stallion Theatre. I got the best tux I could get and drove off.
Security: Yes, hello. Why do you come here?
Johnny: Loan
Security: First table left
Johnny’s Pov: This isn’t really a theatre, the dome had a small stage for a theatre and it didn’t have rows of seats instead it had large game tables, and the first left table was for people who happened to need a loan.
Loaner: So you are the man in need of the loan?
Johnny: Yeah.
Loaner/Jimmy: Wow, you must be in bad shape to go the mafia for a loan. Anyways my name is Jimmy how much do you need?
Johnny: 300 likes for insurance
Jimmy: ID and bank card please
Johnny; *Hands the documents*
Jimmy: Ok, all checks out here is the money. Its 7% intrest weekly if you don’t pay in a month we take your car.
Johnny: *Gulps* Sounds good. Goodbye
Jimmy: Have a good evening.
Johnny: *Calls insurance*
???: You got the cash?
Johnny: Yeah, Ill meet you infront of your HQ
???: K good, job, mate.
Johnny: *Pulls up infront of a massive skyscraper called: Red Eagle Insurance*
???: Fork it over.
Johnny: Here *Hands cash*
???: Good doing business. I mean if you didn’t have a choice but still good business.
Johnny’s Pov: Well I payed the insurance, now I only owe money to the mafia, whilst waiting for a devalued paycheck, life seems great.

Chapter 3 Part 1: Escape (Long part, sorry)
*The next morning Johnny wakes up makes cereal and turns on the Tv*
Dig: Good morning, all. Thank you for tuning in to City News Daily. I am your host Dig Diggers. Today in news, after weeks of negotiations between Lego City Island and The LegoCritter group. LegoCritter cruises have reopened here on City Island, the first to be opened is currently a route to South Cocodeville Island, however if operations are successful more routes are expected to open soon. LC group originally shut down operations on the island over the concern of Piracy. Airline travel is still however forbidden to the island by all airlines due to safety concerns. In other news yesterdays strikes have proven successful and all transport workers may claim their checks.
Johnny’s Pov: *Maybe I can claim my check today and then sell all I have here and go to South Cocodeville, I hear they have a great mayor, and there are many jobs that are being looked for. *Gets into car and drives to civil servants office*
Mary: Hello Mr. Thunder
Johnny: Hello Mrs. Rosado.
Mary: How may I help you today?
Johnny: I would like to get my paycheck.
Mary: here you go, enjoy.
Johnny: *stares at it* But its only worth 1200 likes, it was 3000 last month.
Mary: City is broke, sorry
Johnny’s Pov: Things have just gotten a lot tougher. *Heads off to bank*
Ynfenfyropol: Welcome, to chase… East bank…
Johnny: Yeah I know it all, just cash in the check *Hands check*
Ynfenfyropol: *Cashes it in* *Hands back cash* Thank you, enjoy.
Johnny: Hey Haffez…
Ynfenfyropol: Yeah?
Johnny: …Mind doing me a favour, its bank related.
Johnny’s Pov: After I told Haffez what was needed I went to immigration, more specifically to the South Cocodeville Embassy. *Drives to embassy*
Hobo: Oh hey, Johnny. I got my paycheck did you get yours?
Johnny: Yeah I did
Hobo: I decided to visit South Cocodeville whilst I can so I came here, but turns out no visa if you are a tourist, isn’t that weet.
Johnny Yeah I guess so…
Hobo: Anyways catch ya later
Johnny’s Pov: *I had plans to get in as a tourist then just overstay… then I remembered that they have actually good law enforcement and that ill end up deported so I took the lengthy process*
Embassy worker: Next.
Johnny: Yeah im here to get a work visa as a driver for south cocodeville.
Johnny’s Pov: That was far easier than expected. Anyways time to go home *Drives back home and orders ticket online* 600 likes, now that’s pricy. *Packs bags and goes to sleep*
Johnny’s Pov: Now I didn’t forget about the mafia loan, but that’s part of the beauty, is that I get to dodge the payment and set up a great life in South Cocodeville and the Mafia wont be able to chase me down.
*8th October 4:00* aka (4 am, next day)
Johnny’s Pov: The person who decides that cruises are supposed to be start this early, must really hate sleep. *Takes a bus to the harbour*
Bubsey: Welcome to LC cruises *Checks ticket* I hope you enjoy this journey with us.
Johnny: Thank you very much. *Walks into really nice cruise suite, unpacks and goes back to sleep*
*4 Hours later*
Johnny: What a nice 9 am morning, time for breakfast and news. *Looks around and see’s no Tv* Oh yeah…. *Goes into dining hall and enjoys breakfast, then walks on to the deck*
Hobo: Johnny, oh great to see you again
Johnny: Hobo, great to see you too
Hobo: You know this place has a swimming pool on board
Johnny: Nice!
Johnny: *Spots smoke in the distance* Wait, whats that?
Hobo: That’s a lot of smoke… maybe it’s a volcaner.
Johnny: You mean volcano?
Hobo: Yeah… them.
Johnny: Hey sir, can you come and see what that is?
Bubsey: *Pulls out bionculars* that’s a smoking vessel we need to go rescue it.

Not the story itself, just the title
The only yt title close to this is called: a man in the woods. which has 3 words which are the same as mine
Its not looking good for me
that means I could spend the day looking for money or hopefully the mayor will finally issue out my pay check. *Finishes cereal and gets in the car, and gets a phone call*
