Once outside, Gary found it easier to distinguish between the two different Forced Bond Markings. Although both of them were red in colour, each one gave off a slightly different scent.
The closer he got to one of those that were marked, the darker the colour of the mist would get. It made Gary wonder if there was a limit to his Marking. Perhaps once he was far enough away the red mist would completely disappear, but even in his own home he could still see all three Marks.
His dark hood was covering his head, but he had no time to replenish the Energy he had lost so far from using Charging Heart twice and the general Energy he had used up rushing home and trying to catch up to Gil in the first place.

'The grey colour gang shouldn't stray too far from their territory, but they'll probably want to head into a more residential area.'
Thinking about this, Gary realised that the grey colour gang area also happened to cover where he had been on Sunday, the residential area where Billy's apartment block was located.
'One problem at a time.' Gary thought to himself. 'Besides, given how many reporters there were just yesterday, they would be stupid to go anywhere near it.'
While the Underdogs covered most of the town's nightclubs and profited from selling drugs among other things, the Grey Elephants specialised in protection of the several factories and warehouses that were located in Slough.
The organisations needed protection from the other gangs that might look to profit by stealing their equipment, products or might generally come over to harass their employees. It wasn't exactly uncommon in the business to hire some gangs to use those kinds of means to make life more difficult for their competitors.
As such, the Grey Elephants would send out their members as bodyguards and would spread the news who was under their protection. They would usually get a percentage of profits, but it was far better to the alternative, making it an arrangement that ultimately profited both sides.
Looking on the floor, there was a single tooth that had fallen out.
'That's a start!'” Gary thought about Tom's missing tooth, but it still wasn't enough.
