The Ultimate Host

Cross just came from having breakfast. One apple and some apple juice. He didn't like the diet but he needed to get stronger and it was working slowly. After breakfast, he did some weight lifting, sit-ups, squats, and ran 20 miles. After doing all this training Cross drank some water. Half for now and a half for later. He tossed his bottled water to the side burped. After doing all this he was energized and pumped. He wanted to fight somebody just as strong as him. But things like this didn't come to him all the time. Cross left the flooded hotel he slept in and decided to walk around. The main reason he was outside was that Sarah asked him to get her a book called The Voyage to the Mysterious World of the Dark Sea. She saw it in a shop earlier when she was coming back from getting an oxygen helmet. Cross walked down a flight of rusted stairs coming across dozens of nonvaccanted book stores without the clerks. Cross searched all the stores and didn't find the book. Someone or something must have stolen the book. As he left the last store on the left, someone, a man bumped into him, brushing dirt and blood across his clean fresh clothes. " Hey what it pal!" The man started running. Cross enhanced his vision and saw the book he was looking for. He decided to follow the stranger.
