A short while after leaving his house, Kai was already starting to feel the cold. His chest wasn't too cold because of his thick jacket, but unfortunately his pants were only jeans and so his legs were chilled to the bone. 

His quietly thought motivation to keep on searching houses was: [i] There'll be people in the next couple houses, there'll be people in the next couple houses.[/i] But so far he struck out-every place big or small had no lights on and after the tenth such place he went up to the door anyway and rapped on it as hard as he could with his knuckles. Even with his would be rude and unexpected noise at stranger's doors, Kai was left unanswered. 

With this lack of success, frustration and worry began to build. [i]Why is nobody up? Why will no one come to the door? Are they all deaf? Or are they afraid to answer their door in the middle of the night to a complete stranger?[/i]

His fist not holding the flashlight clenched in response to his stress and he decided to take a turn around the next corner-to go and try a few more houses before heading back home and trying to start his motorcycle. 

He just got a clear view of the road around the corner when a can hit him in the chest. 

He quickly turned to who must of been the dude behind it. His eyes narrowed as they met a man's of about his own age and who was wearing glasses. He was a little angry with his failure earlier and now this. His mouth went tight lipped for a second before he burst out, "Hey!, Who do you think you-" He managed to get out before he heard, "I am sorry." 

It took him a few moments to chill, but after a couple deep breaths he was calm and then smiled in relief at hearing that apparently it was only a failure in the powerlines that was the reason why the lights went off and not vandalism. This made him think though, if his house was not the only one to lose power and the fact this guy didn't see anyone else tonight, could this town be a ghost town overnight? 

What he said though, with a smile was, "I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one wandering the streets tonight." Then he remembered the question he must of somehow forgotten, "Old lady and a girl? Nope. Just like you, I haven't seen anybody else since my place's lights went down." Then he shivered, "Hey uh, do you happen to know a place close, that we could warm up in and then talk? I mean I don't mind meeting new friends but I'd rather not be out here with jack frost freezing my buns off."
