:13:01
I came here with my two oIder
brothers.
:13:06
Ranki and Rankai.
:13:10
We pIanned to save some cash
and go home.
:13:14
Wasn't so easy.
We couIdn't find work.
:13:18
For a whiIe we scavenged,
Iived Iike rats.
:13:25
We used to purse-snatch
downtown.
:13:29
Ranki wouId rip them off,
throw to Rankai.
:13:34
Rankai wouId run Iike heII.
:13:39
He'd dump it aII in a trash can
somewhere.
:13:42
My job was to pick it up.
:13:46
We made a IittIe money.
:13:49
But then one day.
:13:52
Rankai was running with the stuff
:13:58
and he got whacked by a car.
:14:00
Dead before he hit the ground.
:14:03
SpIit his head right open.
:14:06
Then it got aII crazy.
:14:09
Ranki and I tried to reach him but
there was a huge crowd of peopIe.
:14:18
There was an ambulance and
a guy in a white coat yeIIing.
:14:22
I guess he was trying to find out
if anyone knew Rankai.
:14:29
We didn't know any Japanese
so we couIdn't understand him.
:14:35
Ranki and I tried to figure out
what to do.
:14:41
Then the ambuIance was gone
:14:43
and that was it.
:14:46
StiII don't know what
happened to him.
:14:51
ProbabIy took him to the hospitaI.
:14:54
He was just another 'Yentown'
no name, no nationaIity,
:14:59
one more unidentified body.
