"Two more minutes."

"You don't have that. Finish it now."

Click.

It was dark. The sun had already set sometime ago leaving the stars to light up the black sky. Little porky businessmen were rushing to their cars. Their minds preoccupied with the thoughts of home. The streetlights were dimly lit giving the business district a comforting glow. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. One person, however, seemed to be out of the norm. A woman was perched on top of an old abandoned church building. She was leaning nonchalantly against the rusted fire escape casually smoking a cigarette. She was young. Hints of innocence still lingered on her profile.

A gust of wind playfully lifted her long blue tresses. She was dressed as the nights' shadows, allowing her to coincide with the diamond sparkled sky. While she sat there in silence, her piercing blue eyes scanned the crowd quickly below her. At last they seemed to focus on one man. An ordinary man almost nondistinguishable amongst his peers. Almost. She flicked her cigarette to the ground and loaded her .38 caliber.

"Fucker," she whispered as her fingers pulled the trigger. Amid the screams that followed, the woman's only reaction was a smile at her own masterpiece.

"Shoot him," he raspily whispered in her ear.

"I can't…"

"Do it now," he commanded.

"No!"

"Fucking weakling."

"Shut up!"

The young woman's blue eyes snapped open glaring into the darkness. Wisps of her dream were fading quickly away even before she could get a chance to recall them. This wasn't the first time that she had dreamt of this certain memory. Even after two years he still haunted her. Their last mission somehow still recent in her mind. She pushed the covers below her bosom and reached over the night table for a pack of cigarettes.

"Fucking hell," she whispered into the darkness as she lit a cigarette. She wasn't stupid but she couldn't help her addiction. Inhaling the toxins seemed to release the anxiety that tended to accumulate in her mind after every mission. As she starred into oblivion her mind recalled his face. His piercing eyes. His trademark smirk.

The lights in her room were switched on momentarily blinding her. Cold sweat framed her pale face as she automatically reached for her weapon and pointed it towards the intruder. A tall lithe built man was leaning against the doorway. A goofy grin and warm brown eyes greeted her.

"Get out," she demanded in disgust as she leaned against her bed frame while putting out her cigarette.

He simply laughed and strolled further into her domain.

"I missed you Bulma."

"Funny I didn't miss you."

"How are you?" he quietly asked as he walked over to her night table.

She glared at him in response.

"Why do you bother coming here Goku?" she whispered as she stopped him from taking her pack of cigarettes

"Cigarettes are bad and you know why I come here," he simply replied as he turned around. After a long moment of silence Goku finally spoke.

"He asked for you."

Her hands slightly shook as she lit another cigarette. Bulma slid out of her bed and wrapped herself swiftly with a sheet. She walked past him and onto the terrace.

Starring at the city lights from afar she fought the urge to demand answers from Goku.

He wouldn't say anything until she came back. Came back to him.

"No."

"Is that your reply?"

"Just tell him that."

"Bulma stop being stupid he knows you're here."

"Just fucking tell him that and go."

Goku sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Bulma was treading on a very thin line. He just hoped she knew what she was doing. As he turned to leave his eyes sought hers once again.

"…He'll come Bulma. It's gotten that bad."

She leaned nonchalantly and smirked.

"Don't worry about me…I'll be ready."

As the door clicked into place she turned around and faced the city lights once again. "Shit," she whispered into the darkness.
