The wind was strong west of Tokyo, she always knew that. It blew through the crowded streets of Academy City with an aggravating sense of importance. It powered the lights that kept her nighttime walk home safe. It fed the community and was the blood of this city. A rare smile was tilted at her lips, the night was cold, and it would hold her tepid cargo's quality steady for at least a little while longer. She gripped the nylon strap of the cooler bag that bumped rhythmically against her hip. She had gotten both these time, in perfect condition, a beautiful maroon color. Their previous owner hadn't been around to abuse them properly, after all. Turning a sharp left, she ducked behind Takanashi University Hospital, quickly slipping a key card from her pocket to access the back door. Glancing around one last time, she slid in without a sound.
"There are two, less than three hours. Blood type is O-negative." He looked up at her, she could see the sleeplessness and exhaustion in his eyes, not that she would ask.
"How do you keep finding these?" The glaze on his eyes made them all the more difficult to look at, so she quickly avoided his gaze.
"There are two kidneys with a universal donor blood type, no chance of any infections or disease. All that I ask is cash and no questions asked." She turned back to him again, regaining her composure from his momentary interrogation, "do you have the forty thousand?" He nodded, rubbing his eyes. As he stood up, she took note of how he towered over her by at least a foot and a half. The good doctor was not a small man, and she knew not to try her luck with him. He produced four stacks of bills, each individually wrapped, and piled them onto her outstretched palm.
"The parents were more than willing to pay." She checked each collection carefully, running the sheets of currency between her thumb and forefinger and bending it so she could see each piece individually.
"Hey, it's the life of their child. Most would die to save that." She tucked the bills into her remaining bag with one deft motion, leaving her cooler bag on the table with the doctor. His head was in his hands, and he was staring at the two lifesaving organs she had brought him. She turned to look over her shoulder as she opened the door to leave. "Try to remember something, doctor. If I go down, so do you.." he didn't move, "..and so do all the children you have the potential to save."
