CHAPTER 2

LATER THAT AFTERNOON (SIX HOURS AFTER THE DEATH OF DRAKE)

Dragon had her hood on and was walking down the sidewalk with her head facing downward, her belly was just barely swollen, she could feel the rain soak into her coat as she approached Hell-Squad headquarters. She walked up to the doors and turned on the microphone and spoke,"Echo, it's me, Dominic's girlfriend." Those last two words had her stifle a cry as the door opened, Dragon walked to the apartment rooms and opened her first class bedroom, only Echo knew about Dragon's betrayal but let that go, the guards who knew died in an incident. Dragon took off her coat and armor off and hung it in her closet revealing her civilian shirt and jeans, Dragon called for room service and collapsed on her own bed. The door opened revealing Echo, she closed the door behind her and sat down on Dragon's bed, Echo could tell that Dragon was crying even when her face was stiff on her pillow."I know, I know Dragon, but he's in a better place, he will always be in your heart," Echo said remembering Lukas and left.

Dragon was sitting up wrapped around her blanket watching the television she was still thinking about Dominic, but wondered why the room service hasn't come yet. A knock on the door was heard, Dragon got up and looked through the peephole and saw KSR, ran took the wooden bat off the wall and opened the door smashing the man on the head Dragon took the mans gun and turned on cloak seeing a guard walking the opposite direction. Dragon ran to him and snapped his neck and continued down the path and looked down the stairs, Dragon jumped of the floor to the guard landing on him and shot him in the head, taking his knife, another KSR guard ran down so Dragon walked back up the stairs. The KSR guard examined the dead guard, thats when dragon threw the knife at his head, Dragon looked at the guards mission machine as it told them, dig out the dead body of Dominic, Dragon ran to the grave in shock and saw two guards started digging the grave. Dragon ran to the one guarding and stabbed him in the head, as he fell forward, Dragon then took off her cloak snapped the grave diggers neck and pushed it off the grave.

FIVE MONTHS LATER

Dragon stood on top of a building looking at the sunset at the horizon of the wall. She felt her belly, it was swollen and big,"In two and a half months, you will be born to this war, I'll name you Scarlett, you be the only one girl to save this peace, your father or your grandfather did, but I know you will." Dragon sat down on floor and watched the sky turn from red and pink to blue, black and white.
