Dret Falconis walked down a dark street. The paved road still wet from a recent rain, the scent of a past storm still fresh in the air. This street was run down, filled with murderers, drug dealers, hackers, gang members, the scum of the earth. With no governments came no police. With no police to enforce the laws there were no laws. In place of this came some rich civilians that wanted the streets cleaned up. They'd hire "Soulless" people to get one of the key players of crime in this world so cold.
Dret was on such a mission. A new and up coming thief/hacker had made a appearance on the scene. Only Intel he had was that she was in one of the run down apartments, and was female. He knew the address but didn't know how big she was, how much protection would be provided. As a "Soulless" killing a woman or child was something he was thought to do regularly. Truth was, Dret's soul wasn't that gone. He hadn't killed a woman much less a child and he was about to find out if he ever word.
Slowly he entered the run down apartment, one of the last buildings made out of brick that was still standing in the area. He slowly crept up the creaky wooden stairs to the moldy second floor hallway. His hand gently rapped at the apartment door of the girl that had 808 in gold numbers on it.
"Just a minute" Came a female voice from deep inside the apartment.
As Dret heard foot steps approaching the door his left hand fell to a holster at his right hip inside that black trench coat he always wore. The door of the apartment was slowly opened and there she was, Karinka was standing in the door way smiling politely. From what Dret could see of the inside of the apartment it was barren besides a few laptops and a heck load of wires.
"Wait...aren't you, aren't you that man--" Karinka was suddenly cut off by Dret grabbing her mouth and pushing her inside the apartment and shutting the door behind him.
He wasted no time. That silver gun the S&W .45 caliber pistol was placed against her temple as she was pushed against the wall. Karinka offered muffled screams from behind his hand but he wasn't about to let her talk. If she talked he knew she'd weaken him, one word and he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it. His left index finger tensed on the trigger he was ready or was he? Just then his dark blue eyes connected with hers, Karinka's beautiful green eyes were staring back at Dret. Dret could see her fear, her sadness and the tears welling in those dark green orbs. She got him, he sighed and lowered the weapon....he couldn't bring himself to do this.
".....Well Karinka, seems you've made quite a name for yourself..." Dret still had that cold tone of voice.
"So, your a Soulless?" Karinka's voice was shaky but she held her herself strong.
"Yea..........."
"And you were sent after me?"
"Well...your the hacker, thief, and I'm just doing my job..so yea you could say that"
"And....your...going to do your job?" Her dark green eyes looked to Dret who was leaning against the door with his eyes closed still holding the pistol.
"....................No....." With that Dret slid that pistol into his holster and glanced at her with those dark blue eyes.
"Look, if your not gonna kill me then let me go, they are after me"
"....Who, who is after you?"
"Others like you will come if I don't get out of here."
Karinka made a dash for the door. She was quick but Dret was a professional his right hand lashed out and grabbed hold of her wrist. He pulled her back and looked into her eyes. Those Dark Blue eyes of her not giving off a cold aura, they looked into Karinka's own with a odd sense of comfort behind them.
"Who is after you?" His voice slightly louder and softer then usual.
"I...I don't know for sure, I don't really know what they want. I just know its not a good thing...please...Please save me........." Karinka's voice, her plea was just then burnt into the back of Dret Falconis's mind, it would awaken in his sleep..even when he was awake...
Save her Dret, Save her.........
