I do not own any aspect of Repo! The Genetic Opera, but I am obsessed nonetheless…

Shilo looked out upon the city drenched in the red light of morning as a light breeze gently began to blow. She took a step back and wrapped her arms around herself bringing a sense of security from the cold and the unknown. Shilo let out a sigh and looked to her right at the man who had brought her here.

Graverobber sat on the ledge of the building. He fiddled with his Zydrate gun, polishing the sides with the edge of his shirt. His brow furrowed as he struggle to clean a smudge off of one of the sides. He grunted with frustration.

Shilo stared at Graverobber. He was far more interesting than this city could ever be. She smiled when she thought back to when she first met him in the graveyard. He was weird and scary at first, but when he came to save her later that night, something had changed. He was like her knight in shining armor, a zydrate gun in place of his sword and a menacing exterior in place of his armor. Shilo was jealous when the scalpel sluts rubbed against him that night and she was envious of Amber Sweet when Graverobber had her pinned against the wall. Those were some things she would never admit to him.

"It's rude to stare," Graverobber said as he continued cleaning his zydrate gun. "I know you like me and all but you could be less obvious."

"Shut up," Shilo pouted as she walked towards him. "Where are we… going now?" Shilo shivered slightly.

"Here," Graverobber said as he got up and dropped his jacket onto Shilo's shoulders.

Shilo buckled under the weight of jacket. "Thanks," she mumbled. Of course the jacket smelled like death and God only knew where it had come from, but it was a nice enough gesture.

Graverobber nodded in response. He started to walk toward the fire escape.

"So… Where exactly are we going?" Shilo asked as she stumbled trying to follow.

Graverobber turned around and took the jacket off of Shilo. "We're getting something to eat," he said as he put his jacket back on and started down the fire escape.

"What are we going to buy?" Shilo asked as she followed Graverobber down the stairs.

"Not quite how I do things kid" Graverobber smirked.

"You mean we're going to steal don't you?"

"You bet," Graverobber said as he helped Shilo off the last of the stairs.

"Great…" Shilo rolled her eyes.

"What did you expect? I'm not a model citizen… I mean, Shit, I'm a drug dealer," Graverobber laughed as he opened his jacket to reveal his zydrate gun.

"Right, I forgot about that part, what with all the business you've been having lately," Shilo responded sarcastically.

"Hey, don't get smart with me now kid," Graverobber said suddenly getting serious. He looked around the alley. "I don't suppose you have any money on you?"

"Well, not on me…" Shilo whispered.

"Damn kid. I told you we were going out. I'm guessing you didn't think it was a good time to mention you had money," he scolded.

"I don't have it on me because it's in a bank! How the hell do you think I've managed to live in my house this whole time?! Everything's being paid for me! My dad didn't leave me with nothing." Shilo yelled.

"Shhh, keep it down. You'll attract trouble," Graverobber said trying to hush Shilo. He placed a hand over her mouth as he backed her against a wall in the shadows of the alley. A couple of Genecops walked by but luckily they did not notice anything.

Graverobber still had Shilo pinned against the wall as he watched for other cops. He was dangerously close again. Shilo's breath hitched as she thought back to their previous kisses. She started to feel uncomfortably warm.

"You have to be more careful" Graverobber said as he eased off of Shilo.

Shilo whimpered slightly and deeply inhaled, then exhaled.

"What's wrong with you?" Graverobber asked.

"Nothing," Shilo responded a little too quickly. She stepped out of the shadows.

"Okay... Are you sure a bank has been taking care of everything? All of the banks around here have ties with GeneCo which means… It doesn't matter, we can't withdrawal anyway," Graverobber said as he leaned back against a wall.

Cars started to drive by and people began to walk past the alley.

Shilo moved quickly back into the shadows. "So what if the bank has ties with GeneCo? It's my money now," she whispered.

"True, but ties with GeneCo means business with Amber and we both now that's not good." Graverobber responded back.

"The bills have been paid for at least five months now. Amber probably doesn't give a shit about what happens to me. Why would she?!"

"You really think that's the truth, huh?" Graverobber laughed shaking his head.

"Uh, yeah…"Shilo shrugged.

"Tell me this then kid. Did you ever stop to think about why Rotti chose you to take over GeneCo or about how Amber came into power?" Graverobber asked.

"It's none of my concern. Rotti was a bastard and I couldn't care less about GeneCo," Shilo scoffed.

"Remember when I told you how everyone talked about your decision to not run GeneCo?"

"Yeah," Shilo answered.

"Well, there were and are a lot of people who would rather have you run GeneCo then one of the Largo spawn…" Graverobber sighed. "Doyou really not see where I'm going with this? I'm fairly certain that as long as you stayed hidden and locked up in your house, Amber paid your bills… You're less of a threat that way. If she learns that you're out and about now…plus you're in my company… not good. Not good at all," Graverobber crossed his arms and stared at Shilo.

"Fine we won't do anything then," Shilo said slightly annoyed. "I don't even want to run GeneCo!"

Graverobber quickly grabbed Shilo and jumped into a dumpster, closing the lid after them.

"Ugh! This is disgusting!" Shilo squeaked.

"Shhh! There are two Genecops out there!" Graverobber reprimanded as he listened for the cops.

Two Genecops stopped in front of the alley and flashed their flash lights into the shadows.

"What was that?" one of the Genecops questioned.

"I don't know. You wanna go check it out?" The other responded.

"No, it was probably just another junkie… besides we need to find the Graverobber that Ms Sweet requested…"

"I think they're gone," Shilo whispered after a couple of minutes. "And I think they're looking for you!"

"They might still be out there…" Graverobber responded as he continued to listen.

"We're not leaving this dumpster anytime soon are we?" Shilo asked.

"Nope," Graverobber said shifting to get more comfortable. He found a half eaten apple and handed it to Shilo.

"Welcome to my life."
