Assassins

Chapter one

~Café Elin~

"This just in. Another Zoid pilot found dead. Mel Jints of the Doom team was found today. Apparently he was shot 12 times. According to friends and family he had no known enemies. If you have any information on his murder, contact the Zoid Battle Association. Now back to the local battle news,"
the newscaster reported.

"I wonder why he was killed. He was a nice guy," Leena sobbed.

"Yeah, but how many enemies did he have. He must have ticked off someone,
somehow," Brad mentioned.

"Who do you think killed him?" Bit asked Brad.

"Who knows? Maybe and assassin or maybe someone he knew well," Brad said.

"Do you think one of his teammates killed him?" Leena asked.

"Maybe, never know."

"Hey, Brad?" Leena asked, "Is there an assassin mercenary you know that
uses a gun?"

"Huh? Jack's the only one. You don't think he'd do it, do you?"

"Nah, he'd have his team mates help him. Any way, he'd probably brag about
it," Bit added.

"And I'd know if Mel was wanted dead."

"I guess so," Leena said looking down.

"Hey, let's stop talking about it and watch the battle," Bit suggested.

They stopped talking about Mel and Mel's deaf and watched the battle.
