Sed stalked down the wide sidewalk, oblivious to the crowds s of people parted before him like the red sea Apparently, his pissed-off aura preceded hiet the fk out of his way He didn’t even knohere he was going Back to the tour bus maybe Or a bar He could use a drink And not that watered down shit they gave away at the casinos

"Oh my God, it’s Sedric Lionheart!" a feht state offor an escape route or a place to hide

"It is him Sed!" a voice said from the opposite direction "Sed Sed Sed! I love you"

"Back off!" he bellowed

Everyone froze

Hesitated a few seconds

Continued their game of who can touch Sed in the most invasive manner

"Sed!" a familiar masculine (thank you, God) voice called froine revved loudly and girls dashed aside as a Harley Davidson bumped over the curb and onto the sidewalk The bike stopped next to Sed and its driver slid forward on the seat
