As the rain fell, a man dressed in dark slacks and a black trench coat ran through the streets in a desperate hurry to escape his assailants. His feet splashed through puddles which soaked his pants. However, the man failed to notice or care.
Stopping in a nearby doorstop, the man caught his breath and looked back to see if he had lost his pursuers. Not seeing anyone, he breathed a sigh of relief and checked his watch. He still had an hour to catch his flight out of the country with Doctor Chanka.
Making his way through the streets of Hong Kong, he ignored the homeless people that scattered about the streets of the run down section of the city. It was too dark to see their faces and the rain did not help.
As he made his way, the man was suddenly grabbed and pulled into a nearby ally by two large men. Struggling against his captors, he was dragged to the back of the ally until they reached a closed off section in which made escape impossible.
Thrown against the wall roughly, the man fell to the ground. As he struggled to pick himself up, he looked at his captors. Both appeared to be Asian and in their late twenties. They also were quite muscular and had tattoos all over their arms.
"Hello Doctor Davidson" greeted a voice from the shadows. The man's eyes widened as a tall Caucasian man stepped out of the shadows from behind the two Asians.
"Mr. Nelson" said Davidson with fear in his voice.
"Did you think you and Doctor Chanka could hide from me?" said the man. He was dressed in a gray business suit and had blond hair. He had brown eyes and spoke in an Australian accent.
"What do you want?" asked the Doctor as he leaned against the wall in fear.
"I think you know. Where is she?" answered Nelson with intimidation.
"I don't know" answered than man, lying. Unfortunately for him, the blond did not buy it.
"Please don't make me have to force it out of you Doctor, I rather not waste the time" said Nelson in annoyance.
Seeing that he could not persuade his captors, he defiantly yelled "I'll never tell you anything."
"I rather doubt that" said Nelson in amusement. He made a motion with his head and one of the Asians stepped forward.
Reaching into his pocket, the man pulled out a weird looking instrument that Doctor Davidson recognized. Backing away, his eyes widened in horror as the Asian approached.
For the next few minutes, horrible screaming ripped though the city clock. Though it was heard by everyone, not one person investigated or summoned the authorities. When the body was discovered, no one came forward to say what they saw.

Doctor Chanka checked his watch, noting his assistant's lateness. Knowing that Davidson was never late for anything, the scientist deduced that the man was not coming. In fact, Chanka knew that he would never see the man again.
Sighing at the waste of talent, he picked up his suitcase and made his way to the transport bound for Orb. He was glad that he did not divulge the location of the girl to his assistant or their destination. He had no illusions to Nelson's means of extracting information and doubted that his former assistant could stand up to them.
Wrapping his brown trench coat closer to himself to fight off the cold, he boarded the transport with the other passengers. Taking a seat, he smiled at the woman next to him and leaned back to relax. Once he arrived in Orb, he knew he would be safe. Nelson might have considerable influence, but he was nothing in Orb.
Chanka began to think of ways of getting in contact of Representative Athha directly. It would be quite difficult and he did not foresee much success.
As the transport lifted off, he closed his eyes to take a short nap. A sudden thought came to him and he opened his eyes. Though he could not get to Orb's leader, he knew that there was a chance to go through someone close to her. Remembering a name that came up from his conversations with the girl, he smiled.
