85 In One Blow

Lana and Steven followed behind Daryl into the network of small alleys to get the statement from the witness. The entire area was heavily crowded with houses on both sides of the roads with no gaps in between them. This was a perfect place for criminals to live and escape easily.

Indeed, there were a lot of people with a rowdy look along the way, and some even gave Lana malicious grins and winks. Though they were mentally prepared for a little bit of harassment, Daryl had already started regretting listening to Lana's pleas and getting trapped by her puppy eyes. 

They finally reached the witness' home after turning into a lot of alleys guided by Daryl's contact, but he was not inside his house. Like what Daryl said, it was hard to coordinate with that possible witness of the case. They've been misdirected and had been led into various alleys. Everywhere his acquaintances denied his presence or told them that he was at another place.
