Breathing. It was the only thing I concentrated on when I made my way to Jeff's house. Well that and what I was going to do to him. There was a nice mental image in my head. But as I got closer to my destination my mind wandered on other things. Like how he found out that I killed his brother? And when? Did he know what his brother was doing? Probably not.

No he wasn't the worse I ever had to deal with but he was the most arrogant. David Dieochies, carried himself like he owned the planet and everyone was below him, not good enough to even pass him on the street. The reason he was on the list had nothing to do with that. He was the opposing force in the war we were fighting. Course know one would fight for him so what he would do was go to planet to planet with his big ass ships and few hundred men, which he paid by the way, and persuaded the people. Treading through the homes of each family, giving them a choice. Either fight for him or watch their family be torn apart literally. Many excepted but some didn't. They were tied up and had to watch their wives get beaten, raped, hear their children screams as the men stepped on them….. But the thing of it was, after they got their army a couple ships stayed behind torching the planets where they came from. So that way they would have nothing to go back to and would continue to fight for him.

I still remember the day I got the list with his name on it, the only name on it. It was the day when my father walked out of my life and into the hands of death. That name was the only thing I lived for, for about 6 months. For a man with such power he sure didn't have anyone protecting him. Like I said he was an arrogant bastard. One shot between the eyes was all it took.

The closer I got, the louder the screams got. Sounded like poor Jeff was in a lot of pain, well I could fix that, no problem. The sky opened up and white flakes was all you could see. The howling of the wind was all you heard unless you were listening for something else, like the wounded. I made sure I came from the back of the house, and made my way up to a nice sized window in the back. Peering in it was a cozy little place, bigger than mine, furnished as well, a fire going, what looked to be a warm bed. My eyes cast down and there was red all over the sink. Ahh so I was looking in from the kitchen. A door to the right of me swung open and it was Jeff and his little buddy coming from what I thought was the bathroom. Put a smile to my lips. His buddy was practically dragging him to the living room while he cursed and shouted the whole way. Doesn't that bite?

You want to know the real bitch of it? I'll tell you. This day and age there's all kinds of shit that could fix his gaping hole in the middle of his stomach in mere minutes. Pills, scanners, even certain kinds of healing ice would do the trick. Only this planet was behind a few lifetimes and things like that couldn't be found hear, unheard of.

By the time I slipped in I was freezing, the cold just loved to seep right through you eight layers of clothing. The window was a snitch to open and landing on my feet was even easier. Drawing my guns out I leveled one at Jeff and the other at his buddy. They didn't even turn around, they might have had a chance if their backs weren't turned. Wait, on second thought, no they wouldn't. Checking everything around me was key and not slipping in the blood was the other. Jeff's buddy turned around and his eyes went wide.

"J-jeff she's hear I fucking told you she'd be hear!" Fear laced his voice like icing on a cake, so sweet. Crawling back on his hands was even better.

"Hello boys miss me?" I kept both gun trained on them and sat myself in a chair. Why not get comfortable?

"You know Jeff I would ask how's the shoulder but I think you have bigger problems. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Uck you!" He tried to mutter but he was shaking to bad to get out what he wanted to say.

"Looks like Jack did a number on you, I wonder who taught her that? Hmmm… sure wasn't me I didn't even get to knives yet."

"It was his idea!" Jeff's partner in crime shouted from across the room.

"Was it now? And what were you there for?" My eyes never left Jeff's.

"Just a lookout, I was just a lookout." Having enough of this I stood up and walked over to Jeff. He was leaning against the bed trying to stay awake.

"Should of known not to come into my house and get Jack. Thought I warned you already. What was so unfucking clear?" The tip of my gun presses into his stomach just a bit but he roared out in pain.

"Bitch! Killed my brother, only fair that someone close to you dies. Don't you think?" He mocked me and I pull my full weight into the blow this time.

"You're scum just like him, you deserve this." I didn't even have to shoot him only push down for blood to start coming out his mouth and ears. Seconds before he gave his last breath.

"Oh god, oh god! You killed him you just killed him! What are you going to do to me? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry it was his idea I told him it wasn't a good…." A shot to the chest shut him up real quick. Breathe, breathe, I kept whispering to myself over and over. Resuming to the chair I was sitting in helped a little. I leaned my head back trying to get my control back, that was key. Took about twenty minutes before I felt my control slide back into place. That was something I always had to work on. Jumping up, I went through their wallets grabbing their credits, bout 500 altogether. Wasn't going to get me and Jack out of here. Shoving them in my pocket my legs carried me out the front door and into the frost of the night. There was about four inches of snow on the ground already and it was still coming down. We had to get out of here, the local authorities would be all over this come morning. Who to see, who to see…..ahh yes Jay owes me a favor.

After I returned home got showered, changed, and reloaded Jay's house was the one I was headed to. Took long to get their on foot about two hours and in this cold it was even worse. But I had to do, it wasn't just me anymore, nope I had Jack. No, I'm not going to lie I have thought about leaving her in Joe's care and getting the hell off this planet. Maybe she would be better off, Joey is a great guy. Then there's the other side of me, the one that cares to much. Something about the little twit won't let me leave. I can barely take care of my self how can I keep her safe and out of trouble? What if I…

"Marie? That you? What the hell you doing out here in this storm?" Jay's voice scared the living shit out of me. I was practically right on top of his house and I didn't even notice it. I blamed on the storm and not enough sleep.

"Jay, yea it's me. I need a favor." He pulled my arm yanking me inside. Jay was an older man, late fifties. Round belly, gray hair with a sprinkle of shit, eyes that looked like they been through many hardships and of course his laugh was one of a kind.

"Anything just as long as you get out of the cold before you catch something." He grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch handing it to me. I accepted it wrapping it around myself but he stopped me.

"Your packing?" With that he pulled them both out, one still covered in Jeff's blood. He examined it for a long moment then sat them on the table turning to me for an explanation.

"Shit's getting bad, we need to get out of here."

"We?" I huffed flopping on the couch feeling everything catch up with me. He sat next to me really concerned.

"Yea, I picked up this kid Jack. She's been through hell so I thought I'd keep an eye on her."

"Do you think that's the best idea right now? Who did you hurt?"

"Only one I have. Guy I worked with and his buddy. I didn't hurt them I killed 'em." He flinched at that and got up pacing the room.

"They are going to be all over you by morning, this planet ain't to happy about losing it's loaders…"

"They came after her, what was I suppose to do? He wasn't going to stop either, he found out some how that I killed his brother way back when." I told him, but he already knew. Jay was the only one who knew my whole life story. Made me tell him in a way.

"Where is she?"

"With Joey, he's keeping an eye on her till I get everything sorted. So you gonna help me or not?" I was not at my best and awfully tired.

"It'll take a couple days but I can get you out of here. You know you can leave her here if you want, I'll take care of her."

"No she stays with me but I know you would." I pulled out the 500 credits and handed them to him, "There's 500 and some more back at my place. I'll go get it."

"No you won't. You are not going anywhere. I'll get it, until then you stay here. Understand?"

"Yea I got it. Can you get the weapons and there's a lock box under the bed. The money's in the bathroom in the cabinet."

"Aright anything else? Clothes?"

"No just don't forget about the box it's under the bed."

"I heard you. Go to sleep, I'll get it and check on Jack, right?"

"Yea Jack, check on Jack….."

"I'll be back don't move!" He called from the door. I heard it shut and the lock engage. A smile spread across my face, I was getting out of here, no we were getting out of here.
