It pours on another night as the conflict had ceased. I stand over the body of a woman, one that I had shot. Around me sound of footsteps coming up stairs toward me was blocked out by the sounds of rain. Blood trickledown from my check to the floor. And right across from me was a girl holding onto life.
It's not the first nor will it be the last time I find my self over a dead body. But this wasn't how it start. The answer lies in the past. But looking into the past...
"Freeze! Your here by under arrest!"
...Can be worse then any hell on earth.
I woke up in my apartment as part of the norm for me. It was supposed to be a normal day where I drown my sorrows with a drink and come home more drunk then a Irish man. But all those thoughts died out the sane way like so many others by a knock and a voice.
"Hello, anybody here?"
It was a woman's voice that spoke and a tone that held warmth tone. It decided to humor her, so I opened the door.
"Yes, there is." I Said, being half drunk as is.
"I need your help." She says to me.
"Why me there are police to handle your problems." I told her, though I had the feeling she wouldn't take that as an answer.
"No, They wouldn't be able to handle it and I had heard of you around the block." She seems hell bent that's for sure.
"What exactly are you asking for me to do?" Seemed idiotic to accept but then again I make idiotic choices all the time.
"I need you to watch over my daughters, please." A job to protect over somebody and yet she came to a dead beat cop with a alcohol problem and painkiller addiction.
"Then you got the wrong guy for it then." I told her the truth of the matter yet she stood there wearing her white cloak. She looked to be an angel. That didn't fill me with comfort due to my sins.
"I understand but please, Your the only one that may protect them for what's coming." I looked into her eyes and saw that they were sliver and they looked with determination. Seeing that she's not going to give up I gave her an answer.
"Fine, not like I'm doing any good here." I did want to have another round of scotch down at the bar.
"Then you have my thanks, now close your eyes." She was strange but I've seen stranger. So I followed what she said. I then felt my being being pushed with wind. Before blacking out completely the woman said one last thing.
"Keep them safe, Max Payne."
