Where Is Outsiders Set Novels & Stories

Right now, other things were more important. Far from the city, Dante finally slowed his steps. The outskirts of town were quiet, swallowed by thick trees and the low hum of night insects. He moved carefully between the trunks until a small cabin came into view, half-hidden among the woods. This was the place. The rogues had been brought here after the last transfer. From the look of things, they had already started settling in. They were still some burnt sticks in the floor, and clothes hung from a rope stretched between two trees.

At this rate, if her cousin kept meddling in her affairs, Ashley might truly stop speaking to her altogether. Not long after, they arrived at their destination, and just as Dane had said, it was on the outskirts. Ashley frowned as she took in her surroundings, repulsed by the ghetto-like scenery before her. She had expected somewhere quiet and peaceful since it was outside the city, but instead, it looked like a place where only rebels and outcasts gathered. “Why? Are you scared?” Dane, now standing beside her, teased, earning himself a sharp glare. “What did I say about teasing me?” She scolded.

As if the rogues who remained had already accepted that it would only be a matter of time before more violence found them. Erin, Maggie, and Carly lived even further out—past the last of the barricades, past the half-toppled watchtower where no one bothered to stand guard anymore. Past the makeshift market stalls and the cold fire pits where rebels once gathered to drink and plan and grieve. They were tucked miles beyond the heart of the rogue camp, where the roads had crumbled into gravel and weeds and the signal from the comm towers barely reached. Their place wasn’t much—just an old cottage someone had reinforced with scavenged metal and timber, nestled at the base of a pine ridge. But it

I smiled at how happy they are. As the truck jolted forward, I leaned my head against the cold window. The dark disappeared behind us. I let out a sigh of relief. I was finally gone from this vicinity. That was all that mattered for now. Delta Outer Settlement was not what I thought it would be. Growing up, I had heard it was a scary and dangerous place, and my father would always talk about all the horrible things that happened there, but looking around. It was a fairly livable place.

I clenched my fists, flexing my fingers to get some blood flow back. The back doors creaked open, and the sharp scent of gasoline and damp concrete hit me. It was dark outside, the only light coming from flickering streetlamps and the glow of a distant neon sign. Warehouse. Predictable. These kinds of men always picked the same dingy, abandoned places, like they had some unspoken rule about keeping things as cliché as possible. A voice cut through the silence. "Get her out."

I spoke in a gruff whisper, “You just stay near me; nobody’s going to hurt you.” Gia's eyes darted from left to right, inspecting her surroundings. I could appreciate that it wasn't a five-star establishment. We were in a rough as fuck neighborhood, and we fit right in, dead center of it. It looked exactly how it was: a run-down, abandoned warehouse from the outside, while the inside was nothing more than a health and hygiene hazard.

I can see from my peripheral vision that they'll just murmur something whenever we come across them. Yuji started to run faster. He's already ahead of me. He's running so fast I am having a hard time coping with him. My knees are so tired and I am already catching my breath. Still, I did not stop. I promised the lady that I will catch the thief. The thief turned left so we followed him. The gap between him and Yuji is getting smaller! The three of us kept running and running until we came to a dead end. I realized just now that we are on a narrow street. There are no houses nor any buildings that can be seen from here. We are far from the crowded area earlier.

Benjamin, in the old man's disguise enters in a shappy old building in the slum area of the city where no rich man would ever think to go as the location is infamous for robbers, pick pockets and even worse, rapist. "I recognize this area, Boss. Some of our men live here. I have visited them often for secret dealings as police never dare to patrol in this area during night. Most of the criminals and refugees live here to hide themselves and this building, Mr. Blake used to live here in his initial days in New York, a perfect place to stay low profile." Brady says. "Are you sure, Brady that Blake used to live here?" I ask raising my brow as Blake never shared his personal problems with me.

After a few minutes, they got to a reclusive place that was outside of the major capital of the city. There were no residents nearby, and there was only an empty market and an abandoned building beside it. Daphne then surmised that they were in the secluded part of the area, at a slum residence on the outskirts of the city. The place was sketchy and eerie. It looked like the best place to hide dead bodies and transact illegal business. "Thanks. I'll be going," Daphne said to Nathan before she opened the door. Nathan, however, stopped her. His face looked alarmed and concerned about where they would drop her. "Are you sure this is the place, Daphne?"
