Hello again! I have good news! This chapter is longer than the last! Well, we last left poor Risa in the presence of a dead boss. Before that we listened in on a pair of mysterious persons and their strange transmission. Who are they? What is it that is going to be picked up and transported? Let's find out!

Disclaimer: I do not own Predator, I do however own this story line and the made up characters…Don't sue I'm only a young one… (Actually I'm not that young.)

"Risa! Look what you've done! You gave the poor old woman a heart attack! All she did was fire you for your insubordination! You better stay until the police come."

One of her group members was talking to her but she wasn't listening. Instead she was blocking everything that was said to her. Risa turned tail and ran with her messenger bag out the door. She had fled, in fear of being accused of 'murder'. Even though a heart attack is considered a natural cause of death, she didn't want to be blamed.

The security guards working at the building looked at her strangely but were too lazy to pursue her. Risa screeched to a halt at the cross walk and impatiently waited for the light to turn. The minute she had to wait seemed to drawl on forever, when it passed she sighed and ran the rest of the way home.

(On a building somewhere nearby) A large figure was currently watching its chosen prey, cloaked and waiting. It saw its prey on the move and followed on the roofs. Soon the prey came to a halt and entered a small housing unit. The figure climbed down and watched from one of the windows. Inside the prey was pacing back and forth. 'I wonder what's wrong with it.'

(Back to Risa) "Shit! ShitwhatamIgonnado! I killed her! Well, technically I didn't, but shit!" Risa was pacing back and forth while her cat tried to rub against her legs. The cat got frustrated and tripped up its' owner. Risa fell with a thud on top of all her art supplies. She landed especially hard on the paint tubes, which squirted paint on her. She looked up and was emotionless for a moment. Then her cat tried to get pet, but only served to remind Risa who tripped her. She got angry and grabbed the cat by the scruff of the neck and looked it in the eyes. The cat in return did its best to look innocent.

"You! Don't you think I'm already upset enough? You and your selfishness, I wonder now how I have never thrown you outside?" As if in response to this, the cat gave Risa the big kitten look. Risa wavered and gave in. She held the cat in the proper position and pet its white fur. The cat purred and mewled, having finally gotten what it wanted.

"It's because you are so adorable that I haven't thrown you out. Now…outside for you!"

Risa opened the window and dropped the cat on the balcony. The cat looked at her with a twinge of anger and was off. Risa gazed through the window and realized she had been pacing for more than a few hours. The day had begun to change to night, and Risa's belly grumbled to be fed. She had remembered now that she hadn't even eaten breakfast, much less lunch. So, she set off to find food outside of her living space.

(On the roof) The looming hunter was about to go off and find something to preoccupy its' time when its' prey had finally come out of its' living quarters. 'Finally, I can get this operation done and over with.' The hunter thought to itself. It followed the girl again until she came to a stop at a local pizza parlor. There the hunter waited for its prey once more.

(Inside the pizza parlor) Risa was starved and picked the first thing that looked good. The waiter came and took her order, which left her to deal with her thoughts. 'Jeese, what am I going to do? I lost my job and my boss is dead. All I have now are my savings, house and cat. Soon, though I won't even have those. I have to find another job, but somewhere far away. Maybe, nah…wouldn't happen.' But whatever she had wanted might be unraveling right before her very eyes.

Sorry! I couldn't write any more! I promised I would post today and now, I have run out of time. My brother and step dad are coming to my house and I won't have time to type. Then I have school…but when I can I will be writing. I promise! Expect another chapter sometime next week! Sorry this isn't any longer…bye! Oh…don't forget to read and review please! All comments from all people are appreciated…except flamers. They will be haunted…bye! (again)
