Then we fight. It''s part of the process. Someone chats shit, then they get hit. A fight breaks out, and we all have a good time."

			'Niko continues, "She always seems to carry around some book, but no one really knows what''s in it. Has she ever told you anything?" you shake your head, as you reply, "No, it seems to be a mystery. Why do you care anyway? You don''t strike me as the reading type."

			'"So she takes nudes of herself then carries around those nudes everywhere she goes, because she doesn''t want people to see it... Does that make sense to you?" Niko curiously nods, "I guess you have a point. I was hoping it was something interesting, but it isn''t nudes, then it''s not interesting."
