Carl ran out and saw the traffic right in front of the garage. He ran up to a bike, "Quick, I need the bike! It's an emergency!" said Carl to the rider.
"Wha-What?! No way!" The rider was surprised as he heard Carl's impractical demand and directly refused but Carl's mind was not on the rider, it was on the gate of the garage. He turned his head and saw 'Mr. Chan' slowly walked out of the garage.
Mr. Chan looked around while slowly turning his head and when he found Carl, his gaze completely locked on Carl. As this happened, his eyes started to glow orange.
Terrified by the scene, Carl didn't wait for long and pushed off the rider from the bike and got on the bike. After revving the engine a bit, Carl ran through the traffic, breaking the red light.
Using his driving skills, Carl ran through the tricky roads without much slowing down, thus covering a fair amount of distance from the garage. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to slow down his speed as the security was tight around here. The Easter Bay Airport and Easter Basin Naval Station both are near this area so tight security was expected.
But as he was about to slow down, he saw Mr. Chan standing in the middle of the road, ahead of his bike. He still had his eyes glowing orange. Carl's skin went white when he saw Shido suddenly appearing in front of him. In haste, he clenched the brakes and the bike got out of his control. This made him fall off the bike but there was no serious injury to Carl.
Lying down on the ground, Carl turned his head and saw the 'Orange-Eyed Monster' slowly making his way toward him. Seeing Shido closing in the distance, Carl managed strength and picked himself up, and again started running.
'How the fuck did he catch up with me? And why his eyes are glowing orange? And why is his hair black... Wasn't it somewhat brown last time?' Several questions came up to Carl's mind but all of them were secondary as saving his meat was his prime focus.
Carl ran into the crowd going towards the Airport thinking Shido won't be able to find him if he mixes in with the crowd.
'I am a sneaky motherfucker... I am a sneaky motherfucker... I can pull this shit off! Just need to stay away from him till his anger's down,' Carl reassured himself as he moved through the crowd.
*Ring* *Ring*
And then, Carl's phone started ringing. In haste, he looked at the caller ID and picked up the call "What is it, Kendl? It ain't the right time to talk?"
------
[In the Garage]
"Where are you and Mr. Chan? You two left the garage and now I am alone with his daughter in here!" shouted Kendl at the phone.
Carl -:: Daughter?! He has a daughter?!::
"Yeah, and the worst part is that I can't even communicate with her..." mumbled Kendl to herself and Carl couldn't hear it because of the noise from the crowd.
"Yeah... but where are you two?"
Carl -:: Kendl... Kendl... Mr. Chan is like a bloodthirsty gangsta right now. He's out on me and I am running from him::
"What? Why would he be out on you?"
Carl -:: I don't know man. One second we were talking about stuff and the next second he wants to chop off my meat::
"You crazy, Carl. Just come back quickly."
Carl -:: You don't know, Kendl. His eyes... His eyes are literally glowing orange. He's like a terminator out to hunt my meat::
Kendl had enough of Carl's bullshit and she hung up the call. She then turned to Eri - who was sitting on a chair with a small mango juice box in her hand - with a smile on her face.
"Do you want something to eat?" asked Kendl but she got only silence in reply. And it was not like Eri was being rude or something. Instead,
'What is she saying?' 'Where are the subtitles?' 'I am not trained for this yet...' 'I wanted apple juice...' were the thoughts running inside the 6-year-old's mind.
----
[Back to Carl]
Carl continued to move even when he was talking to Kendl and currently he was hiding inside a parked car in the underground parking lot of the Airport. His plan was to hide from Shido for long enough for him to calm down. Other than that what else could he do?
Now he had to wait... if Plan A of waiting worked, then everything's nice but if it didn't, Carl would be in a pinch.
...
After waiting for a brief amount of time, Carl could hear the sound of footsteps, so he peeped out of the window and looked outside the car, and not to Carl's surprise, it was Shido with his freaking haunting glowing eyes.
Carl looked at Shido as the lights of the car were off and the window completely up. He saw Shido constantly turning his head around to find Carl and then it happened, their eyes met. It was not like Shido was looking in a general direction, he was precisely looking at him.
Carl ducked down hoping that he didn't see him but "I can see you, Carl... There is no way out of this. I promise it won't hurt that much," said Shido and touched a car near him. The car decomposed completely in seconds.
"Like hell, I am sacrificing my dick... If you want to destroy it that bad, then take my life as well!" shouted Carl. He then started moving inside the car.
Unfazed by his actions, "I have thermal vision, Carl. I can see whatever you are doing inside there," said Shido and continued walking.
Carl, on the other hand, continued to do what he was doing. He opened the window and put his hands firmly on the steering wheel. He then took out a Tec9 and aimed at Shido.
"Do you think you can stop me with that?" asked Shido as he looked at Carl aiming at him.
To this, Carl only smiled, "Nah... but it can buy me some time." said Carl and he quickly turned the aim from Shido to the Gas Inlet of the car near Shido and shot several shots.
*BOOM*
This made the car explode and Shido was blown away by the explosion. Carl didn't wait to see what happened and drove the car away. But before exiting, he once looked into the rearview mirror and saw a silhouette standing up in the flames of the explosion.
'Fuck! This dude is serious and what's with the Thermal Vision and Dick-Destroying Powers... Jackie Chan could do that? They never showed those things in the movies.' thought Carl and drove out of the Parking lot.
"Shit's real now, Carl," said Shido as he walked out of the flames.

On the airstrip of the Easter Bay Airport, a lone man walked like it was a playground. It was like he was searching for something and he was. Shido looked at the [Map] Function and it showed Carl was somewhere near but he couldn't find him. Shido used Thermal Vision as well but to no avail.
While he was roaming aimlessly and looking at the [Map], he saw a change in the marker representing Carl's location. It changed from a square to a triangle, which meant there was an altitude difference between Shido and Carl.
Knowing what is going on, Shido turned towards the marker's direction and saw an F-16 Fighting Falcon taking off from the Military Naval Ship.
---
'Had to steal a fighter jet from the military just so I could run away from him! Shit's bad... really bad. Now I have to just fly away into the countryside and wait a few days till he disappears back,' thought Carl as he directed the fighter jet towards Red County. But while he was adjusting the direction, he saw a red bleep in the radar.
Carl turned his head and saw a small black dot flying towards him at a very great speed. With the shape, it was unlikely that it was a missile but Carl saw something that made him recognize the dot. Two orange glowing rays flew past the cockpit of the fighter jet.
"Now he can fly too and shoot heat rays as well... Why don't you claim yourself as Asian Superman?!" shouted Carl.
Shido's speed continuously increased and the distance between the jet and him decreased. When Shido was a bit behind the jet, his speed increased suddenly and he was about to crash into the jet. It looked like he wanted to crash the jet and force Carl to eject himself out of the jet.
But when Shido was about to crash into the Jet's wing, Carl performed a barrel roll and dodged Shido crashing into the wings. Because of the momentum, Shido flew a lot ahead of the jet and he was now in front of the jet.
Shido stopped his forward flight and looked at the jet. Inside the jet, Carl was smiling smugly.
"Do you think I am afraid of you? You thought I will bow down and accept your demands to destroy my manhood? Not at all! I will fight back with my dear life on the line!" shouted Carl and pressed the missile button.
With this, a hell lot of missiles were shot toward Shido. With the direction fixed, Carl ejected out of the jet and the jet crashed into Shido.
----
Carl rushed into the garage and slammed shut the door. Hearing the slamming sound, Kendl ran and saw Carl panting like a dog while lying on the floor.
"Carl?! What happened to you?!" Kendl ran up to him and crouched down.
"Him... I crashed a fighter jet into him... I fired missiles at him... But he... he is still alive," said Carl as he tried to catch his breath.
"Who?"
When Kendl asked the question, the closed door was blasted open and Shido showed up. Carl who was on the floor tried to struggle away, "You really want to end this, huh, Mr. Chan?"
"You damn right."
"Then, can you at least fulfill my last wish as a man?" requested Carl.
"What is it?"
"Just say Vinegar..."
Shido was a bit confused by the odd request of Carl but he thought there was no harm in fulfilling his request, so he complied, "Vi--"
'The right moment,' thought Carl and he shouted, "MR. CHAN'S DAUGHTER!!!"
Listening to the shout, Eri came to the scene to see what was happening.
"--negar," said Shido.
~~~~Silence~~~~
~~Awkward Silence~~
"Haah! Mr. Chan! Did you just say the N-word?!" Carl acted surprised.
Shido - "No, I di--"
Carl - "But I just heard you saying the N-word!"
Shido - "You are manipulating--'
Carl - "Kendl, you heard it too, right?"
Kendl - "You sly motherfucker"
"Well Well Well, Mr. Chan... your daughter heard it too. You just said the N-word in front of your daughter. What would she now think of you? 'My dad is racist,' 'He said the N-word to Uncle CJ,' 'Uncle CJ is a victim of a hate crime and my dad is the criminal' and things like that..." said Carl, and his demeanor changed from a victim to a sly tactician.
"I can help you here and tell her that you ain't racist. It's just some misunderstanding. And things will return to normal. How about that? In return, you just stop all this nonsense of killing my meat." Carl put forward his deal.
But when Shido heard Carl's deal, he started laughing.
"What so funny?"
"Hahaha," Shido laughed harder and facepalmed, "You fool... Eri... she doesn't understand English."
Carl's tactician demeanor died down and it changed back to a victim's demeanor, "So this is the end, huh?"
"This is the end... I wish you good luck in your new journey as a woman, Carla" Shido moved forward and picked up Carl with one hand.
'This is the end... This is the end... This is the end...' One line kept playing in Carl's mind but then an imaginary light bulb lit up in his head.
'THIS IS NOT THE END!'
"Do it..." said Carl.
"Just do it... Do it... DO IT!!!" Carl shouted maniacally.
Shido got a bit confused by this. "Now you are suddenly very co-operative. What brought the change, Carl?"
"Nothing... Just wanted to get rid of this shit. Do it. Open my pants and gently touch my dick. Stroke it once and then destroy the hell out of it. Destroy my Dick, Mr. Chan! Do it!... Show your Daughter how big of a gay you are. Show her what you truly are... A gay dick-destroying monster, Yeah that's what you are. She has every right to know this. Do it! Can you do it in front of her or have you lost the strength to do it? See in her eyes and tell me... Can you do it?"
Shido turned his head and looked at Eri. Eri was looking at him with hope in her eyes, "Papa... Outing?" asked Eri in Japanese.
Seeing Eri like this, Shido threw Carl away and went to Eri.
"Eri, Sorry for the wait... let's go for the outing," said Shido and picked Eri up. He then left the Garage with Eri in his arms.
Kendl was looking at whatever just happened with a dumb expression on her face, "What just happened?"
Carl who was staggeringly standing up smiled at Kendl and said, "I just saved my dick from getting destroyed by the Asian Superman."
