It was a cool and fresh December afternoon. ReviewBrah had been sitting in a chair next to his pool and tuning into the latest and greatest his Short Wave Radio (SWR) had to offer. He stood up and straightened his '80s tweed jacket with the leather elbow pads and matching trousers. He recently acquired it just 4 days prior and had been waiting for the perfect weather to enjoy it in. At $9 on sale, what a steal. While the day was just ending for those around him, ReviewBrah's day had just begun. He had two plans in store for today. The first was to try out the new limited edition McDonalds crispy lime and pepper chicken burger with a paired caramel banana thickshake for his next Running on Empty. The second was to record a VORW as the sun began to rise. It was a cold night, but not one void of intentions. He opened the door to his car and hopped on in. Making his way through the darkening draffic, he found himself anticipating the new McDonalds meal. The McDonalds he was driving towards was an acceptable enough establishment. He'd reviewed items from here many times before and there was not without reason. While it might be common for other local McDonalds to forget particular items on a burger or even give customers the wrong order entirely, this McDonalds had a near perfect record. He knew it wasn't the store's fault if some of their items weren't particularly palatable, however their item assembly was near perfect and he very rarely found himself finding their sandwich construction skills questionable.

He pulled up to a red light. "Lime and pepper crispy chicken huh?" he thought to himself. An unusual combination he must admit, but certainly a commendable one. His thoughts were interrupted however by the sight of 2 black vans pulling to either side of his car. With their windows tinted, and it being as dark as it already was, ReviewBrah was unable to get so much as a glimpse at the drivers. "Man, some people these days" he chuckled and shook his head while tapping the wheel. The light turned green and so onwards to McDonalds he continued. The rest of the drive was completely textbook.There was no more sight of any black vans and within another 15 minutes he was pulling into the car park. Getting out of his car and walking towards the front of the store, he approached the doors and walked inside the venue. He made his way to the counter and joined the queue. Only 2 people ahead of him, and service seemed speedy so he didn't mind the wait. He did however notice that a scruffy redheaded youngish guy at a table, eating what appeared to be a large chocolate thickshake and a 20pc box of McNuggets, kept turning his head towards ReviewBrah to get a look. Wearing suits most of the time, ReviewBrah had gotten his fair share of looks in public. But ReviewBrah knew this look when he saw it. This was the look of a fan. He smiled back and the redheaded man stood up and made his way to greet him. "You're ReviewBrah aren't you!" the redheaded man started. "I'm such a fan of yours, it's so great to see you!" He was so excited that ReviewBrah couldn't help but smile. "Well thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the show." ReviewBrah replied. "Here to do another food review? What're you going to be reviewing??" the redheaded man went on. "I'm here to check out the new Crispy chicken Lime and Pepper burger, with the Caramel and Banana thickshake actually." The redheaded man looked confused for a second. "Huh, that's interesting, I hadn't seen that." as he turned his head and began look around for some kind of advertising of the burger. ReviewBrah began to reply "Oh, well you see-" before the cashier called out.

"Next! Oh hey ReviewBrah, funny seeing you here. What can I get for you tonight? The regular?" She was a nice woman. She and ReviewBrah had exchanged pleasantries many times before and over the years had become somewhat of a regular and a celebrity to the staff within this establishment. "Not on your life," ReviewBrah chuckled "Tonight I'm actually here to order the-" CRASH!!! ReviewBrah was yet again cut off from talking. What appeared to be a metal cylinder came crashing through the glass door and sailing through the air. Before he knew it, plumes of thick dark smoke began clouding the venue. ReviewBrah backed away from the smoke grenade and walked towards wall opposite to the front door, pushing past the coughing diners. As the smoke rose up into the air and obstructing his vision, he turned and caught one last glimpse of the outside world through the giant windowed walls near the entrance. "Those black vans from earlier" he thought, "Why are they now both parked outside?" As their coughing fits continued, people began falling to the floor. ReviewBrah continued his way backwards and watched as men in dark outfits, balaclavas, and AK-47s streamed through the door and over the shattered glass. ReviewBrah breathed in what may have been his last gasp of air and turned away from the door. "Well folks, looks like that VORW may have to wait..." To be continued....
