The members of the Crystal Cross gang were looking everywhere for Erik.
Erik eventually reached a place called "Skyview," close to a park. The wide plaza was surrounded by buildings, but they were spaced out enough to keep the sky visible—that's how it got its name.
Several small restaurants, fast-food places, bars, and stores offered various things such as clothes, accessories, and even weapons.
Some of these establishments were very popular with students because of their location close to school; in fact, Erik could see how many young people were there eating something and talking with their friends.
Erik walked through the crowded street, his eyes going through the faces of the passersby, searching for any sign of danger. Many Crystal Cross gang members were around, and he had to pay attention.
