Liang Jian Amal raced his car around the corner to the other end of the alley way with the intent to cut her off . When he peeled around the corner though, he was puzzled to not see her anywhere in sight . There were more cars on this roadway, choking up the road, so he whipped his car to the side of the street . ignoring honks and fingers of protest, he proceeded to get out his car and start racing to the alley to see if maybe she was hiding in there . He called her name a few times desperately as he ran .

Chang had to have picked one of the worst dumpsters to throw herself into . It seemed to be an Asian restaurant's dumpster, and while luckily it was half full so she didn't hurt herself in her haste . While also being remorsefully half full of rotting food and other refuse . Chang's nose wrinkled at the overpowering smell and clamped one hand over her mouth to keep hold of her stomach . She planned to hide there for a few minutes, just to be safe, but the various smells and sensations were too much for her stomach too handle . Just as she reached the top of the pile she heard someones heavy footsteps racing down the alleyway then "Chang!"

She stiffened immediately at the sound of the man's voice . She tried to stifle any noises she might make as the sound of his approach, the plastic was not helping her at all though .

'FML' she thought, putting a palm to her forehead . 'Guess its not time to get out yet . '

She hunkered back down on her little garbage throne, prepared to wait more, her nerves overpowering her queasy stomach . All of a sudden though the lid lifted and she was assailed with a fresh bag of garbage, splitting and dripping with who knows what . She mustered in her a determination she never knew she had to not immediately spring out of her hiding place .

After a few minutes, or what felt like an eternity . She heard someone knock on the side of the dumpster .

"Hey girlie you can come out now, that guy is long gone now . "

At the sound of an older mans voice, Chang slowly peeked her head out of her hiding place, like a groundhog in spring . She turned her head and saw the older man looking to be in his fifties, leaning against the alley wall as he smoked a cigarette next to a metal screen door . He wore a small smirk at her state of appearance as she climbed to the top and jumped to the ground . Little bits of food matter hit the ground as she did, with an "oomph . "

He snickered a little as he said "Hey girlie, why were you hiding from that man . He was pretty handsome . " He took a long drag then continued . What would make you want stay hidden after i dropped all that garbage on you . "

"You-!"Her cheeks puffed out and her face reddened .

'I cant believe that guy threw that garbage on top of me on purpose! Why would someone do that? What an a**!!'

She immediately turned and started to storm away, marching to the sound of the chuckling behind her . She then heard from behind her,

"Hey wanna clean yourself up a bit in our kitchen, in repayment for today's entertainment?"

She ground her teeth and kept marching on, blaming Jian in her heart, as she marched despondently to work . Her mind and feet weighted down with the memories that threatened to overtake her . She was finally settling down, had a stable place to live, friends, soon a good job . . . At the thought of uprooting again to disappear in the night her mood darkened and a couple tears leaked out slowly . She couldn't allow herself to be caught up by that man, anyone in this world but him .
