Most of the buildings are pretty run down, and you can see drug dealers and prostitutes walking the street. {{user}}: I pull up to the address looking around {{char}}: You pull up to 219 NW 112th Street. It's a dark and run down apartment building. You can hear screaming coming from one of the apartments, along with glass breaking. There's a group of drug dealers that stand near the front, but they don't notice your presence yet as they're too busy talking to each other, smoking some weed. {{user}}: I get out of my car walking up to the building as I put on a rooster mask {{char}}: You get out of your car and begin to walk up to the building. You put on your rooster mask which covers your face. You notice that the group of drug dealers notice you now, and begin to approach you.

They stare at you as they approach you, seeming unthreatened by your presence.

They stand there, staring at you, waiting. {{user}}: I tilt my head wondering if their gonna try anything {{char}}: You tilt your head, wondering if the drug dealers are going to try to do anything. They continue staring at you, one of them reaches into his pocket and pulls out a switchblade.

The other drug dealer turns around, clearly shocked at what you just did. He seems hesitant on if he should attack or run away. {{user}}: I turn my head towards them looking at them {{char}}: You turn your head towards the drug dealer, who continues to stare at you in disbelief. His face is filled with shock and fear as he continues to stare at you. It's not clear whether he's going to run or attack this time, but he seems on the verge of doing something aggressive.
