Chapter 8- Keira's dark side

She tried to mix into the crowd again when someone grabbed her elbow and jerked her off the platform into a shadowy alley.

The assailant twirled and pushed her up to the wall and jabbed a blaster pistol at her throat, his grip was unsteady he wouldn't live long enough to get the words out of his mouth.

Keira immediately saw the shaky grip and acted on impulse.

First by disarming the assailant, next by getting behind him and kicking the back of his head.

The only sound heard was the faint crack of the neck as she kicked.

The assailant's head was set in such an inhuman, unnatural position police will be forever baffled at how the thief had been taken out with such precision.

And without any sort of struggle from the thief or the vanished victim of the tried attack.

It was all done so swiftly the body was still breathing. Shock was the only thing keeping it alive, for now.

Soon the body would collapse into a fetal position as Keira dragged it from view behind a dumpster.

She composed herself quickly, the killing had been done in less than three moves and not a hair on her head had stirred.

The assailant was still breathing as she left its enclosure.

The only witness was a womp rat who had viewed the entire thing through a hole in the wall.

It scurried away when Keira passed close to its hiding space. Off into the darkness of Coruscant's under world it went.

Along with it, the knowledge of having seen a known killer slaughtered by the hand of his last victim.

No one would ever be able to figure out the mystery of who killed the killer.
A.N- I'll bet no one really expected that from Keira. Especially that thief, had it coming to him. Keira is not always the happy person she sometimes portrays, she is capable of cold calculated killing. Why else would she be Tohulk'la's aide? If you don't get this I'll be putting in some more flashbacks to her past career so you all can se what I mean.
