Hey I'm back with the next chapter.

To the user Rahef: Yes, you are correct. Nina does not belong in a jail with males. She should be locked up with her own sex. It was just something i threw into the story. Sorry if it didnt make sense.

Now, on with the story!

Nina wiped the stained blood from her hands and feet with a damp towel after coming back inside the clammy prison cell. Thanks to her interference in the fight between Craig and Hwoarang, the massively large Murduk decided never to pick a fight with the young Korean man again. Just about every inmate that witnessed the skirmish was afraid of Nina after seeing what she did to the arrogant bully. Craig was one of the toughest men in the penitentiary, and if a Irish woman was able to bring him down to his knee's in mere seconds, there was no telling what she could possibly do next. If she wanted to, Nina could have easily killed Murduk right on the spot without any difficulty, but she chose not to and decided to go the other route.

Later that night, she peered through the steel bars on the wall that had an outside view. The brightness of the rising full moon was beautiful as it glared intensely in the darkened sky. When she squinted her eyes a bit, Nina could see the moon resembling the face of her beloved son. All it needed was long golden hair and his skin complexion. He was all she seemed to think about at the moment.

Seeing his charming, young, bright smile brought a warm feeling to her heart. It was a fairly pleasant feeling that did not want to leave. She missed Steve dearly and wanted to see his bright lively face again. Figuring it was time to break out, Nina made a plan. The next morning a guard came wandering through the prison hallways with the keys to the cell doors dangling from his back pocket.

As soon as he passed by Nina's cell, the young assassin grabbed hold of his head through the bars with her hand and began repeatedly slamming it into the bars, thus knocking him out. Once he was rendered unconscious, Nina snatched the keys from his pocket and unlocked the door. Letting out a heavy sigh, the Irish inmate was quite happy to be able to finally leave that clammy jail cell she had been sitting in for so long. The air smelt cleaner and the temperature seemed cooler as she approached the outside of the building. Upon opening the exit door, she saw the only obstacle that stood in her way……a barbed wired fence that blocked the path to freedom. As she approached the fence, a group of guard dogs suddenly came chasing after her with police officers tagging along.

"There she is! Stop!" shouted one of the running guards.

Nina quickly jumped onto the fence and climbed as fast she could till she reached the barbed wire. The piercing thorns cut into her skin, leaving red marks across her hand. It was painful indeed, but the assassin was able to withstand the pain. Finally, she had made it over to the other side. Luckily, she managed to shake off the chasing guards by opening a nearby manhole and jumping into the fifthly, swampy sewers.

The Hospital

Steve lied in the bed peacefully, staring at the walls surrounding him. It seemed luck was on his side as the doctors were able to successfully remove the bullet from his abdomen without any hassle. He was thankful to be alive, but all he cared about was seeing the beautiful Irish woman he had grown to love. Although he didn't know her for that long, he felt a sudden attraction to her that he couldn't bare to deny. He loved her, and he wanted so desperately to tell the woman his true emotions.

It didn't seem likely to happen though, at least to him. Nina was in jail and he was in the hospital so how could he? As he pondered to himself, there was a strange noise heard coming from his window. When he looked over, he saw Nina emerge from the outside, smiling happily. This brought joy to Steve's face as he grinned pleasingly. The young boxer was proud to see the woman he had loved finally return to him.

"Um…..Hi," he said bashfully.

"Hey," the assassin replied softly, coming over to his side and grasping his hand with her own.

"I missed you," uttered the proud boxer.

"I missed you too," said Nina, running her hands through his soft hair as she hugged and kissed him gently on the forehead.

Now that she was within his presence, Steve could hardly get the words out of telling the Irish woman how he felt about her. Something just seemed to be holding him back. Instead, he changed the subject and refrained from mentioning anything about his affections.

"I'm going to be here for a few weeks. So, I'll be out of action for awhile."

"I don't mind. I'll come see you everyday until your better, just as you did me," Nina noted.

The former inmate was surprised by her words, as she didn't expect such things to be said. In the very beginning, she was rude to Steve and did not really care for him as much as she did now. Now things were different. At first, the woman had trouble showing her emotions. But things have suddenly changed. Nina was no longer afraid to show her affections, and she had her English son to thank.
