Californication Part 1
November
Kansas City, Kansas
Dark clouds filled the early morning sky as Chainsaw slid into
his gray rental sedan. He slowly drove out of the small Kansas
neighborhood that had been his first real home since he had been Imbued.
After all the battles he fought beside his friends in the Extreme
Hunting Alliance, he just couldn't bear to tell him he was leaving.
They had a long Halloween celebration and needed their rest, and if
he woke them, they would want to come along to interfere in a very
personal matter that he needed to resolve on his own. Especially
where a certain ill tempered teenager by the name of Dr. Hyde was involved.
No, he couldn't face that, so he left a short and simple note on top of
his Desert Eagle on the nightstand:
Going to California. Be back soon.
Don't follow me.
-Stan
P.S. This means you Amy!
Chainsaw drove to a near by gas station, got a restroom key from a grogy
attendant, and shaved off his light beard in the rest room sink. Then under
the dim restroom light he cut off his short ponytail and proceded to dye
his hair red. A short while later he changed from his standard red flannel
and trenchcoat into a simple black outfit, slipped on a white lab coat, and and fastened his red minister collar.
He went back into the station to return the key and bought a cheep pair of
rose colored sunglasses of the spinny rack at the counter. Chainsaw ripped
off the little tag with the jacked up price on it and got back in the sedan
and headed to the airport. Stan Grey was going home.
