I stood hidden his the shadows of the apartment building my heart thudding loudly. Shit, I got careless. There was no place to run and this place was practically a hotbed for crime. She was trapped and no one would step in to save her.
-" She accepted the chance of this happening when she signed up for this. We cant risk exposing ourselves. Besides, she is under examination by them as well now. "
-" Yeah I know, but still... She is just a human. She cant live forever like us. It just doesn't feel like something a hero would do..."
-" Ja. Besides she has her own agenda with one of them and was going to go after him with us or not comrade. This way if she fails she can fall back on us being able to finish the deed."
I closed my eyes trying to think of a way to get out of this but no matter how I looked at it I didn't have many promising options. Good thing I don't mind forcing out another option.
I scooting forward slowly reaching for my hood and pulling it down over my eyes as I stepped into the Alley light now moving my hand towards my pocket taking out a small computer USB drive. " You want this right? "
-"What a smart poppet you are!" A voice cooed out as a man now stepped out as well his bright clothings and unusual strawberry blonde hair standing out greatly in such a neighborhood.
-"Not really Oliver. Now we could just shoot her and get what we need. Or do you have a plan Doll-face?" Another voice called out as a man strolled over a bat in tow. "Cause if not then you're going to end up as a cold case."
- " Mhmm.. I suggest you give us the drive girlie." A tired and worn down man with light blonde hairs said finally pitching in as he dropped his cigarette to the ground and stepped on it crushing out the light.
"Yes, I have a plan. And my plan is to make a deal with the devil. I can tell you much more than this flash drive can. You are liars and murderers. But not fools, information is power." I stated calmly only looking at the one with the pink hair as he had stepped out first.. Also it was hard to be intimidated when looking at at guy in pastel colors. " But of course I'm sure you would understand if I don't tell you all I know in one go? Which is where the specifics of my proposal comes in."
-" We could just torture you until you talk poppet.. I mean your plan is smart but whats stopping us from just doing as we please until you tell us?" He asked arching an eyebrow that was oddly also this bright strawberry blonde color.
" And wouldn't the revenge be so sweet if I told you inaccurate information? I mean I would probably say anything to make it stop. Theres no one for you to take to force me either so we are stuck with three options. We all walk away. You kill me and get only a small fraction of the information they have... Or let me live and get information worth at least 6 filled USB drives with sensitive information. " I stated not budging an inch as I raised my arms up and get into a fighting stance.-"... How unexpected..." The man said adjusting his scarf as the group watched.
-" Ivan.. Dude... Did she like.. She did! She is trying to make a deal!"
-" We know Alfred! Stop being such a bloody git and sush! Maybe she is just playing them..." ( To call him a git to those who do not know- well its basically an insult and he is pretty much calling Alfred incompetent/stupid/annoying. And shush is pretty much a more polite way to say 'shut up'. )
