So, hi, Ghost here. Here is another story in the story about Cara. But just as the others, you can read this without reading the others. This time Cara is in the universe of Resident Evil! Which is one of my favorite series! I will follow the games in some ways, more in the beginning as we start before the mansion accident. As the story progress, I will leave the game a bit more, to fit the story better, but not entirely.
English isn't my first language, so I am sorry for misspelling and grammatical misstakes. And this is my fourth longer story in english, and I am still getting used to write in English.
This story are after the mystic messenger story, but before the Loki story, that's all you need to know now.
And I will warn you that the characters will be ooc, in some aspects. It will also be a few yaoi couples in this one, which means boy/boy. They aren't the focus, but they will be in it.
So Halt is from the story Rangers Apprentice, and that story takes place right before this one. I haven't finished that story, so you don't need to search for it. All you need to know are that Halt is dead, and Cara moved on.
Seven is from mystic messenger, and as it is in this story, it was a long time since Cara was there. And well Seven thought her hacking, and to like cars, that's all you need to know.
You will get more information about what has happened to Cara as the story progress.
Can also tell you that, me myself, are no car expert, or even like cars. I just googled nice cars, liked the McLaren P1, because it had a nice blue colour. And yeah I know it didn't launched until 2013, but Cara has magic powers and got the car anyway. Haha but yeah, if there is anything wrong with the car facts, I am sorry. I googled, but I didn't read to many articles about it.
The statistic facts are from Criminal Minds. Dr Reid says it in the episode "What fresh hell", and yeah Cara has been in that world between Mystic Messenger and Rangers Apprentice, that's more or less all you need to know.
Besides that, I don't think I have anything else to say, not more then that I will update as often as I can. But I can't promise how often. It may look different from week to week.
I hope you will like this story, if you do, let me know!
Enjoy!
Cara looked down at the papers, and smiled a small smile. She knew she joined for the whole wrong reasons, that wasn't even a question, but she was bored, and sad. All she wanted now was to forget, and start over, again.
It was just a coincidence that she ended up here, in this world, this city. She had wanted a different world from her last world, or rather from every other world. She had been in the future, in the normal age, the medieval age, and what people in the "normal" world, called fantasy worlds. But she needed something new. So when she was ready to leave she had left to a "normal" world. She had wanted to have somewhat a normal life. And ad first she had loved it. Everything had been different, and sure if she was honest it took a while to get used to earlier technology, she hadn't lived in the 90ths in a long time. But that as everything else, was something she got used to. But after a year, more or less doing nothing, she was bored.
So here she stood with the papers, showing her assignment with S.T.A.R.S. She had lived in Raccoon City for a year, she had heard of them, and first she hadn't been to interested. But she guessed all the years with fighting, running and excitement, mostly, made her bored with a normal life. And she hadn't been working with the normal police in a long time, lately she had only been a solider, so it was also something new. She had also thought that it could be a bit fun, being a police for fun, not fighting for your life in the same way. She also had magic if something would happen, something she was alone with for ones. But Cara preferred if she didn't need to use it. She had found a way to hid her magic from the ones looking for her. So if she didn't use it, she should be safe awhile longer, and she needed that. She was doing better, but she was still mourning. And even if she wanted to do something for fun, for ones, didn't mean she wasn't careful, she could still not be found.
Cara glanced one last time at the mirror, her hair was in a perfect braid, her clothes were perfect, so all she needed to do now was going to the office, get her key card, credential, her uniform, and meet her colleagues. She grabbed her apartment keys and left for her car.
The drive through the city and to the police office didn't take long, the city wasn't too big after all. She parked her car and looked at her papers once more, she mercenary, she had been all around the world, her specialty was wildlife, with tracking, hunting, stealth and knowledge on how to survive in the wild. She was thirty-five, from Great Brittan, she still had the accent, so there was no idea to hide that fact. Both parents dead, no relative. She had kept it simple, and to things she could explain. Cara had no problem with faking her background story. She had used the hacking skills Seven had thought her years ago, and since this worlds computers weren't as great as the modern worlds, it had been no problem. So with a smile she left the car and headed into the station.
Cara walked over to the receptionist in the middle of the room.
"Can I help you?" the woman asked, kind of bored.
"Miss Riddle, I start working here today, and I got information to talk to you about my key cards, and uniform" Cara said, not seeing any point in being polite to a woman who was already bored of her. The woman started looking through the desk, sighing as she did.
"Here is the key card and your credential" she handed them over to her. "Your uniform is placed in your locker room. Here is the key to your locker. Follow the signs"
Cara didn't say anything to her as she left the room, following the signs.
Cara founded the locker room after some searching, and entered. It was empty, but maybe it wasn't all too surprising since she was early. She still had thirty minutes, until her meeting with Captain Wesker and the others. She founded the locker with her name on it, and opened it, to find her uniform inside. She looked at the black uniform, they had told her that she could choose her own colours, and she had always preferred black, so she went with it this time too.
When she had changed to uniform, she locked in the mirror again, the hair was still perfect, but after all this years, she knew how to make a braid that would last in battle. Something she had to, since she learned the hard way, how hard it was to fight with hair in your face. Cara glanced at the clock on her left arm, she still had twenty minutes, enough time to find the way to Wesker's office.
Finding her way to S.T.A.R.S. office and Wesker's room was easier than finding her way to the locker room. But her guess was because other people then the workers may need to find their way to the office. She entered and founded a bunch of empty desks, she guessed belonged to her colleagues, who hadn't started yet. She knew that there were two teams, Alpha and Bravo, she would join Alpha, that's was why she was on her way to Wesker's office, not Marini's, who she guessed was still with his team. The two teams were on duty for twenty-four hours, before they switched with each other. So she and the rest of the team would release Bravo from their duty. When she come to Wesker's room she stopped and looked at her watch, she was ten minutes early, so she was about to sit down when she heard a voice from inside the office.
"You may enter"
Cara opened the door, and stepped inside the well-organized office, to meet her captain. Wesker was sitting behind his desk, reading a file, already deep into work. When she closed the door he looked up at her, wearing sunglasses. Something she had already founded strange the first time she met him, but she didn't question it, since there was no point in doing it.
"You are early" he pointed out, and Cara got the feeling he was testing her, she wasn't sure how, but in some way, and that made her smile, things like that wasn't boring. But at this point everything was an excitement.
"Would you rather have preferred if I was late, sir?" she said as she sat down, and he looked at her.
"That I think you know the answer to, miss Riddle"
"Then I think there is no point in telling me I am early, sir" Cara said and then nodded towards the file. "But I do apologise if I interrupted your work, I could have waited until you were done"
"You were already here, there is no point in keep you waiting" Wesker only answered.
"If you say so, ever leader does it the way they prefer" she said.
"Guess that is something you would know, since I guess you have had a few"
"Yes a few" Cara said with a smile, shortly thinking about the people she had followed in different ways.
"Will that be a problem?" Wesker asked and she looked at him "You having had different captains before, I don't want someone else methods get in my way. I prefer when things are done my way"
"I can imagine that you do sir" Cara answered "But if this was a concern of yours, you may have them a bit late, since I am sitting here, already a part of the team. But if it makes you at ease, I can tell you that it won't be a problem. Following many different leader don't only teach you different technics and such, it also teach you to listen to different people"
"Glad to hear that" Wesker said and glanced at the watch. "The rest of the team should be here any minute, if they are on time."
Cara could her a hint of irritation in Wesker's voice, but he was good at hiding it. She, herself glanced at the watch, wondering if the others would be in time. She wasn't sure if it was common that they weren't of if Wesker only tried to scare her, so she wouldn't be late. That thought almost made her laugh, if he wanted to scare her, he needed to do worse than that. She didn't plan on being late to work, but the thought of her boss being angry if she was, well it didn't frighten her. But she glanced at the clock again, and almost as if the others had been standing outside, waiting for it to turn six, they walked in as soon as it did.
"Let's introduce you" Wesker said and stood up, and so did she.
"Good morning team" Wesker said when he got out of his office.
"Good morning captain" they answered.
"Always here before us, makes me wonder if you have gone home at all?" a man in Wesker's age, said with a laugh.
"You need to take better care of yourself, captain" a woman said.
"Yeah, you are always on our asses, take care of yourself once in a while" the first man said again.
"I am capable of taking care of myself Christopher" Wesker said, ending the conversation, but Cara could tell how much the team cared about their captain.
"So are you going to introduce us?" the first man asked and looked at her.
"I would have, if you hadn't talked about my health instead" Wesker said and made room for her next to him. Cara took a step forward, smiling. "This is our newest member, Cara Riddle, a former mercenary, she is an expert in wildlife…"
"Wildlife? So if we hunt a bear, you are going to track it down, or what?" a man said in a yellow vest.
"After it eats you, I may do that" Cara answered, which made the others laugh, and she smiled.
"As I was saying!" Wesker interrupted them and Cara looked at the man, feeling that she wasn't much for jokes, at least not when he was talking. "She is an expert in wildlife, which means she can track down a bear, if we should need to. I am sure you will experience her skills soon enough"
"Can we try her out today?" the man with the bandana asked.
"We aren't here to play games, Joseph! What you do on your breaks I can't decide" Wesker said and Cara almost expected him to add a, yet. "Barry, I want you to take her to get her weapons. Christopher, I am still waiting for your report. Joseph and Brad, for your fun, comments you have earned yourself some running exercise. And Jill, I want you to bring me a report from tonight's police radio"
"Yes, sir!" they all answered as Wesker nodded and left for his office.
"Welcome to S.T.A.R.S" the older man said. "I am Barry"
"Nice to meet you Barry. I am Cara, if you missed that" she said with a smile, and the other man chuckled.
"Hi, I am Jill, and I must say I am glad to see another woman join us. Bravo has Rebecca on their team, but we don't work much together. And trust me, it can be a bit of a challenge, working with this oafs" Jill said, and Cara heard the warmth in her words.
"Hey, we are nice guys! Don't let her think otherwise. Christopher, but I prefer Chris, only captain uses my whole name" Chris said.
"Well it seems like you are late with your report, so I think I will take Jill's word for now" Cara said, making Jill laugh at Chris.
"The two bitter ones over there are Joseph, in the bandana, and the other one is Brad" Barry whispered to her.
"It's nice to meet you" Cara called out to the other two who just waved a bit awkward before they left to go for their run.
"Well come on kid, let's get you some weapon" Barry said and Cara raised an eyebrow.
"I am not much younger then you" she said, which was a lie, but she couldn't tell him that.
"Then you are still a kid"
Barry walked with her to the shop, which was almost next to the station.
"Hello Barry" the man said as soon as they entered.
"Hello Robert" Barry answered and Cara got the feeling they knew each other.
"So you have a newbie with you" Robert said with a laugh.
"I do, but she may be new to the uniform, she was a mercenary, so don't joke to much" Barry said.
"Well nice to meet you ma'am"
"Cara is fine" she answered and the man nodded.
"So any type of weapon you prefer?" he asked.
"Bow, but that will not be to effective here" she said with a smile and the other two laughed.
"Maybe Brad was right, maybe you will hunt down bears" Berry said.
"Well if I want a challenge I will do it with a bow, and also in a risk of dying"
"Smart move. So what weapon will you use?" Robert asked.
"I would prefer a magnum" she answered.
"Not a bad choice, or what do you say Barry?" Robert said and Barry showed Cara his magnum, and she smiled. "And what knife?"
"I have my own knifes, and I prefer to use them" Cara said.
"From previous works?" Barry asked and Cara nodded.
"Something like that. Got it from someone I loved, and it have saved me a few times already" she admitted and Barry nodded.
"I will get your gun" Robert said.
"So if you don't mind me asking, why did you stop being a mercenary?" Barry asked and Cara looked at him.
"I was tired of seeing people die. I wanted to try something else. I wanted to have a better chance of surviving. I didn't have a good enough reason to fight in a war anymore. Pick your choice" Cara said with a smile.
"Would say that they are all valid reasons to quit" Barry answered her. "Never think I could do it, being a mercenary. Mostly because I have a family, and I want to be close to them"
"It's not for everyone" Cara said "But just because you fight in a war, doesn't mean love need to be faraway"
"Is that so?"
"But death is never faraway either." Cara said and Barry nodded, in what seemed to be in some sort of understanding.
"Do you want something special on your gun?" Robert called from another room.
"Would love if it had a silencer, besides that I am fine with whatever you do" Cara said and Barry looked at her. "Force of habit. You don't want to make more noise than is needed"
"What role did you have in the army?" Barry asked.
"Are we sharing war stories now?" Cara said with a laugh. "And it often changed. But I personally prefer to be a ranger. Track ahead of the army, act in stealth, and when the battle starts, fight from a distance. Often with a bow if you can"
"I have a hard time see an modern army use a bow"
"They come in handy in the jungle, better then guns" Cara just said as Robert walked out again.
"Here you go" Robert said and handed over the silvery weapon, with a black handle. "You are aware that it only holds eight bullets? I need to inform you of that"
"You only need one bullet if you hit the target" Cara said with a smile and put it in the holster on her right leg. "Thank you very much, Robert"
"A pleasure to make business with you" Robert said "See you at Thursday, Barry?"
"You do" Barry answered as they left the shop.
"Do you need to get your knifes?"
"If we have time, if not, well then I can manage one day without them. Have done that before" Cara said with a smile and Barry locked at his watch.
"We should have time to grab them. So how do we get to your place?"
"I drove, so that seems the easiest way to get there" Cara said and started walking towards the parking lot.
"So which car is yours?" Barry said and looked over the parked cars. Cara walked towards a blue sport car.
"This one, it's my baby" Cara said, for a second reflecting over that she called the car her baby, something she got from Seven.
"Wow" Barry said, left speechless, and Cara laughed.
"Well it's lucky that she is fast, because if you keep staring at her much longer, we are not going to get back today" she said and Barry started moving, and Cara opened the door for him. Since the doors opened upwards instead of to the side, it was always easier to show people the first time.
"Maybe I should consider being a mercenary, if this is what you can afford" Barry said as he sat down, and Cara started the car.
"Well you get payed to risk your life, people wouldn't do it if you didn't get payed enough" she answered as they drove towards her apartment.
They were back at the station in twenty minutes, and Cara felt a bit better then she had the knifes Halt gave her, on her side. She had placed both knives on her left side, a bit towards the back.
"Jill would love to see your car" Barry said and Cara looked at him as they walked into the office. "She loves cars"
"I do!" Jill said with a smile, as she looked up from her desk. "What kind of car do you have?"
"It's a McLaren P1" Cara answered, which made Jill stare at her.
"How did you manage that? They are very exclusive" she said and Cara almost shrugged her shoulders. She had just bought it. After all this years, money wasn't a problem. She had saved and got a lot from all her travels.
"I called the right guy" Cara said and then looked at Wesker's door. "We can talk more about that later. As of this moment I need to know what to do"
"Eager to work? Well it will have worn off soon, rocky" Barry said with a laugh as he sat down at his desk, Cara only smiled as an answer, before she knocked on the captain's door.
"You may enter" Wesker said, and she did.
"Hello sir" Cara said as she closed the door. "I need my first assignment"
"What weapons did you get?" Wesker asked instead and Cara handled over her pistol, and her two knifes.
"A magnum, and I had two knifes since before. Since Barry said they would do, I hope they are also approved by you, sir" Cara said, knowing that Wesker had the last word, if he didn't find her knifes acceptable, she needed new ones.
Wesker barely looked at her gun, she saw that he didn't dismissed it, but her guess was that he knew what Robert had, and that they were accepted. He studied the knifes more thoroughly, before he looked at her.
"Where did you get them?" he asked.
"From a friend in the army" she only answered and he nodded, still looking at them. She knew that they weren't just any knifes. They were special made for the rangers in Araluen, but it was some of the best knifes she had ever had. The double scabbarded Saxe knife, was made of one of the hardest steal she had ever seen. She could use it for hours and it wouldn't take damaged, not even in a sword fight. And the throwing knife, was made perfectly, it had perfect balance, and it would do its job, no matter if you threw it with the blade first or not. But the best thing was that you could use them together, creating an X, to block sword attacks, or similar things.
"They are acceptable" Wesker said and handed them over to her, and she placed them where they belonged. "I want you to look over this rapports, see which cases could come to interest to us. Write a summary and handed them back to me"
"Roger" Cara said and took the files he handed her and headed back to the others, and her desk, which was the opposite of Barry's.
"I see that I am not the only one that has to write rapports" Chris said, with a big smile.
"It beats heading first into a field, searching for traps" Cara said as she sat down, and opened the first file, reading about a missing child.
"We will see how long it takes before you get tired of it" Chris teased and she just put up the file, to ignore him.
Cara had gone through the fifteen files without a problem. Handling files wasn't something she was unfamiliar with. But it had been along time since she read police files, but she remembered how to do it, and it was surprisingly easy. Or maybe it depended on what she compared too, if it was going through whole libraries, searching for something she wasn't sure what it was, and write things down, that could be important. Or if she compared it to reading medical files, trying to figure out which small details that could be important for further research, this was really easy. So when she was done, she looked over at Chris, who still wasn't done.
"How on earth are you already done?" he asked, sounding bitter.
"It helps if you work" she answered and walked back to Wesker's office for the third time this day, and entered when he said she could.
"Here are the rapports, and a summery" she said and handled over the files, and for a second she saw how surprise went over Wesker's face, before it disappeared.
"Give me a short breathing" he said and she nodded.
"Most things shouldn't be a problem for the police to handle. Since it was mostly smaller robbery, bar stabbing and a fight between the neighbours." She started and Wesker nodded for her to continue. "The thing I flagged was some cases of missing children. If I had gotten them alone I wouldn't have thought to much of it. But I got five files with children, ages eight to ten gone missing, over a period of two months, which is unusual high, for a town of this size. And they all disappeared in familiar situations, when they were playing near the woods. None of the children has showed up, so far, which may indicate that they are alive somewhere, but I would say that it's a slim chance of that, considering of the children that are abducted and murdered, 44% die within the first hour. From that the point forth, their odds of survival greatly decrease. 75% are gone after three hours. Virtually all of them are dead after twenty-four."
Wesker looked at her, and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Worked with finding missing children before, and I had a friend who thought me about statistics" she just explained.
"So what do you propose we do? Search for children who are most likely dead already?" Wesker asked.
"No, sir. It may hurt their family, that we aren't searching for the bodies of the missing children, which it more or less would be now. But instead we would need to focus on finding the one doing it. Which is at the moment, a difficult task. The police don't have much clues, so what we can do, is wait for another child to disappear" Cara stated, trying not to let her emotion come to her, as she could more than guess how the family of the missing child felt. Wesker looked at the rapport, and nodded towards her. Cara didn't say anything as she left his office.
"Are you up for some dinner?" Jill asked when she walked towards her desk.
"That sounds lovely" Cara answered and Jill stood up, and started showing the way to the cafeteria.
"So, how are you liking your first day so far?"
"Well it beats the first day I had in any army, so far" she said with a smile.
"It must been a big change?"
"It is, but it's a welcomed change" Cara said as she took a salad to eat.
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you become a mercenary?"
"As long as I don't have to give you too much details about why, I can share the very short version" Cara said as she sat down with Jill. "Broken heart, running away from my problem, rebellion against my past and family. That's the very short version"
"Sounds like you had enough reasons" Jill said and Cara shrugged her shoulders.
"Maybe, not that you always need a reason" Cara only said when she saw someone stopping at their table.
"May we join you?" Joseph asked and Jill looked at her.
"Of course" Cara answered and made some room for Joseph and Brad.
"Have you been training until now? Guess Wesker really was on your asses" Jill said with a smile.
"Hopefully it's someone else the next time" Brad said.
"I guess Chris may not be faraway if he doesn't finish his rapport soon" Jill answered.
"He still hasn't finished?" Joseph said with a laugh.
"So what are you ladies talking about?" Joseph asked.
"Why Cara choose to become a mercenary" Jill said.
"To hunt bears right?" Brad said.
"Is there any other reason?" Cara asked with a smile, and the others laughed.
"But I am sorry if we offended you this morning" Brad said and Cara shook her head.
"Not at all, it was a joke after all. And you can't make it in the world if you can't handle a joke." She said "And when you have done what I have done, you either learn quickly to get tuff, accept things like that, and other things, or well better change job"
"So is that why you changed job?" Joseph teased.
"Yeah, to many bad jokes, couldn't handle them all" Cara said with a serious voice as she ate her salad, enjoying talking with the others.
When they got back to the office, Chris was smiling.
"I am finally done" he said, waving his file.
"About time" Barry said from his desk.
"Better late than never, right?" Chris said.
"Don't think the captain will agree with you" Brad said, just as Wesker left the his office.
"All done" Chris said and handled over the file. Wesker took it, and gave it a short glance.
"I expected more after all this time" Wesker said coldly to the other man, and Cara was almost surprised by it. She could understand the irritation, but it felt like something else, but Chris didn't seem to think of it.
"Sorry to disappoint you, I did my best" Chris said with a big smile. Wesker only looked at him before he left the room.
"He is letting you of too easy" Barry said with a laugh.
"I have been working on the rapport for, two days. That's not letting me off" Chris said.
"It only took two days, because, you wasn't working properly" Barry answered and Chris didn't answer him, instead he sat down, starting to spin the chair.
"So this is what freedom feels like?" Chris said with a big smile.
"You will never change" Jill said, with a teasing voice.
"And you don't want me to either" Chris said and Jill only smiled.
"So what do you normally do now?" Cara asked and the others looked at her.
"Right, newbie" Barry said and smiled towards her. "Well if we have time over, like now, it depends on the person. Some of us sleep, some play games, some of us; Wesker, starts working on more work"
"So it mostly up to the person?" Cara asked and Barry nodded "Well then I would like to try out the gun I bought, if that's possible?"
"That's more than possible" Barry said.
"I want to see this!" Joseph said and the others nodded.
"It's a part of being the new guy, or in this case girl" Barry said and Cara just nodded, as they walked to the shooting range.
Cara had her ear protection on, as she looked at the paper board in front of her. She almost laughed at herself for feeling strange that it wasn't a living person. That thought made her reflect over how fucked up she was. But she pushed the thought aside and concentrated on the target. She raised the gun, feeling it's weight in her hands, aimed between the eyes of the person, and pulled the trigger. As she did she prepared for the recoil. Soon after shooting the first shoot, she fired the other seven. When she was done she removed the ear protection and went to the board to look at the result.
"This is really good" Chris said surprised when he walked up behind her. He looked at her result, one shot in the head, three in the heart, one in the stomach, the leg, lungs, and neck. "Besides the leg" Brad said.
"If I shoot you in the leg, let's see how far you can run" Cara said with a smile. "Killing isn't everything, sometimes you want to capture people alive"
"I can see that, seven of your shot is deadly" Joseph said.
"I said, sometimes" Cara told him as she looked at her gun.
"It's good isn't it?" Barry asked and she nodded "Robert knows what he is doing."
"I would say" Cara answered as she looked at the gun again. "So I better clean it, need to take care of your weapon"
"Good girl" Barry said, teasing and Cara rolled her eyes as they walked up to the office again.
"Captain, she is good with her gun, really good" Chris said when they got back to the office, seeing Wesker standing there.
"I know Christopher, I was present during her try-out" Wesker answered.
"I forgot that you were." Chris said with a laugh as he went to his desk. Cara looked at him, and shook her head, before she looked at Wesker, and nodded in a grating, and then sat down at her desk. She put her gun in front of her, before she took it apart and started cleaning it.
"You haven't used your knifes" Brad said when he saw that she was cleaning them too.
"I haven't, but I like to take care of them a bit extra, maybe out of sentimentality" Cara admitted.
"Sentimentality can be a dangerous thing Riddle" Wesker said without looking at her, as he still looked at some files.
"It can be, sir, on the battlefield, but in a safe environment, you can sometimes let you feel it" Cara answered.
"There is no safe environment" Wesker said and she laughed.
"Sorry, I should had said safer" She only said, more than aware that there wasn't any safe places. Well not for her at least, not a place that lasted forever. Wesker didn't answer her, he only collected some files and went into his room.
"Don't worry about him, he is always like that" Jill said and she looked at her.
"I am not worried, I have had worse captains, and unless he doesn't become like any of them, I won't worry" she told Jill with a smile as she placed her weapons in the holster, and picked up a book about the nature around Raccoon City.
When the morning come, and Bravo team arrived, the night had passed without any incidence. Cara had got to meat Marini's members really fast. They had promised to talk to her for real when they had some time over, and she had told them that she looked forward to it.
"So you survived your first shift" Barry said.
"I did, even if I was afraid that Brad's snores would kill me for a second" she teased and Brad gave her a look.
"Better then Joseph's at least"
"Can't say, since I couldn't hear them over yours" Cara answered as they stepped out on the parking lot.
"Can I see your car now?" Jill asked and Cara nodded as they walked towards it.
"It's so beautiful! Love the colour, and the look" Jill told her. "What does it do?"
"Top speed is 350 km, and it does 0-100 in 2,7 seconds" Cara said and Jill looked at it.
"It must be an amazing feeling" she said and Cara nodded.
"It is. It gives me a feeling of freedom, and it always reminds me of a loved friend I had, who loved cars" Cara said and stroke the car, almost as it was connected to Seven.
"That's nice" Jill said with a smile.
"You can try to drive it one day" Cara offered and Jill looked like a child on Christmas.
"I would love that"
"Well then let's do that on a day off" Cara said as she opened the door. "But as it is now, I need to go home. See you tomorrow"
When she got home, she looked at the pent house, and sighed, it was lovely, but it echoed with emptiness. They place woke up a lot of memories, but she knew that any place would do that now. She had lived with Halt for so many years now, that when she was alone in her home, she was unhappy. But she didn't want to start another relationship, she was far from ready for that, and as it was now, she was tired of seeing people die.
"Maybe I shall get a pet" Cara said to herself as she went to the bedroom, to get some sleep. She had survived her first day, and she had fun, already looking forward to tomorrow, now she just needed to get through the twenty-four hours before work again, and she planned to sleep most of them.
