"Dark Night"
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Outlaw Star; though the thought of it is pretty cool.

Hello, my name is Jim Hawking. Just one year ago on this night, a murder of the talented Aisha died in the alley of some stabbing. After doing a bit of forensic search of the area. One conclusion came up; the murder was a professional.
I took a look around the trashcans to make sure there wasn't any evidence stashed. This may sound dumb but then again; some murderers are dumb enough to do that. Gene searched the pocket and pulled out a business card. "Hey Jim, take a look at this." I rushed over and took the card. "Yeah, so what? It's just a business card." "Of course," Gene responded, "We can ask questions about Aisha."
I was pretty shocked myself. Gene actually done something smart! Anyway, as we got to the bar that Aisha worked in, we found out more information about her, information that we didn't want to know.
Gene knocked on the office door once. "C'mon in." a man hollered from inside. We made our way into the small office. Stacks of paper pile up on chairs and floors. "What do you two want?" the man questioned. I took over then "I want to ask some questions about Aisha." The man gave me a cold stare. It was frightening. "Anyway, she was found dead in the alleyway near Underground. I want to know what type of relationship you two had." The man dropped the book on the desk "Well……my name is Laguna and I am obviously the manager. Didn't you read the sign on the door?" "Yes I did, I meant. How was it like between you two?" Laguna grabbed a mug of coffee of a stack of newspapers; this obviously isn't a good place to work. "Well…she just a new one here, I don't know her much. I heard some nasty rumors though."
The session was going nowhere. All I knew is that the murder only killed prostitutes. Was Aisha one? There is only one way to find out.
Gene went out into the bar to "investigate". I shuffled through the notes I had on my lap. I basically asked every question about her, now what? A note brought to my attention and an idea popped. "Laguna, was Aisha a prostitute?" The question was straight to the point. Laguna placed the mug up and looked through the files on his desk. "Yeah, she was. It was the only way to support her only daughter." Now this case was going somewhere. "May I ask where she lives?"
It must suck to live without a mother or a father. After getting Gene to get out of the bar, we made our way to where Aisha lives. It was pretty small for an actor.
We made our way inside. It was dark inside and only one room was immolated by candlelight. "Excuse me, may I ask a question?" The little girl looked up and responded. "Sure…what about?" This was hard, especially to a girl. "Um…about your mom. How was she like?" The little girl responded slowly "She is a nice person." Gene was getting annoyed by this "Jim…come on. She couldn't help." I turned my attention to my partner. "Well..she is alone. Can we bring her along?" This annoyed Gene but he didn't mind since she was alone and no ones going to watch her.
She didn't know that her mother died. I didn't want to break the news on her.
We arrived back to the office. The place was still the same way we left it. The little girl didn't mind at all. "So, whats your name?" I asked. The little girl turned and responded "My name is Hanmyo? Whats your name?" I was starting to get hot, my heart was throbbing. What is this? "M-my name is Jim." Gene stared at the two and groaned. Jim is in love…..sheesh..this is going to be a long night.
Done with chapter two. Sorry if it was too dull. No flames please
