Leaves swirled around the mysterious figure that stood on the hilltop, its face covered by the collar of a long, black trenchcoat. For close to an hour it simply stood in that one place, never moving so much as an inch, looking down upon the vast city with its dazzling lights. Slowly it turned away, and walked off into the cold night.

Gene Starwind sat up in bed, sweating. His eyes were still wide with the horrible memory of his vivid dream. His shaking hand groped for the Caster at the side of his bed, and when he found it he immediately clutched it to himself. Nothing had ever frightened him so badly.
"Calm down Gene," he repeated to himself over and over. "It was only a dream. Nothing to worry about." Part of him argued with that statement. But it was so real.he thought. He lay back down and tried to go back to sleep, but he could not chase away that thought.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Gene?" Jim asked harshly at the dinner table. Gene's eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and twice he had nearly fallen face first into his plate of pancakes.
"Nothing really." He replied slowly. "Just a rough night, that's all."
Aisha grinned at him from across the table, eyes narrowed into mocking slits. "I think big, strong Gene is afraid of the dark. what's wrong, do you need someone to protect you tonight?"
All signs of Gene's exhaustion vanished as he jumped up angrily and slammed his fists down onto the table, sending a fork clattering to the floor. "What, someone like you, bitch? Oh, I'm sorry, you'll be too busy cuddling with your little Jimmy."
Aisha jumped up out of her chair, her eyes fireballs of hatred. For a moment they both stood there, their eyes locked, glaring at one another. Finally they both stormed out of the room in anger.
Suzuka, who had been quietly watching the two from her side of the table, shook her head slowly in pity for the two. "Melfina," she called to the black- haired girl standing next to the microwave. "More tea, please."

Gene sat on the edge of his bed, chin cupped in his hands, staring out the window. Last night's dream was still vivid in his mind, and he recalled the odd rumors that he had heard about a new, dark outlaw on Sentinel III the night before at the bar. Something about the two bothered him greatly, but he didn't know what. Sighing, he lay back on his bed. It was going to be a long, frustrating day at Starwind & Hawking Enterprises.
