Well, I just have to say that I am sorry for not updating as quickly as I had planned. I can't say that I have been busy, considering my lack of a social life, but anyway...
He hadn't been back in a few weeks. Shilo of course couldn't help but worry about him. He was after all, her only friend…
Friend.
She pondered at the word. It seemed to entail a lot. A friend was somebody that you cared for, and that was definitely the case with Graverobber, or else she wouldn't worry so much about him. A friend would also be someone that you had pleasant conversations with, at the very least. It was true that they had pleasant conversations, though it didn't help that he would often make a less than appropriate comment about her usually out of the blue.
Graverobber was her friend, and the only one at that. Shilo smiled at the idea of having someone other than her father being in her life. The last person she felt any sort of connection with was Blind Mag, as they had both had a similarity between them. Though, no further bond could be created since the day she met Mag was also the day that Mag was murdered by Rotti Largo because she wouldn't sing for him any longer. That's what happened when you didn't pay off your debts to the Largos…
It was then that Shilo realized something…
Something that made her jump out of her bed and throw on the first outfit she could find.
Amber was looking for a new Repo man, and a likely candidate for a job like that would be someone who wouldn't be afraid to handle gory bodies and didn't mind taking things out of them…

Graverobber turned the corner slowly, looking in every direction to be sure no officers would bump into him and mess up his whole operation. The only thing he could see was a few Scalpel sluts stumbling down the street. Looking for him most likely.
As quickly as he could, he ran across the street and ducked into one of the alleys. It was still daylight so he couldn't move around as freely as he would have been able to if it was dark. As he expected, the alley was empty...All but for the colossal body guards that stayed by Amber Sweets side. And there she was, standing in her place between the two of them, her stance made it seem as if she thought she ruled the world…and well, she did.
"I'm glad you came…" She purred and stepped forward. Her guards took the step with her. "Not that you had much of a choice."
"Its good to see you to Amber." Graverobber rolled his eyes and lifted one of his arms to draw attention to their surroundings. "I like the office…Its so…bold. It just screams filthy whor-"
"Hush!" Amber shouted, annoyed. She put her hand out and the guard on the left put a file on top of it. "I got another job for you. Pretty basic…"
She threw the file on the ground in front of Graverobber's feet. He groaned and bent to pick it up. The contents were, as she said, pretty basic. Find Robert Bright and take the Lungs that he couldn't afford. Graverobber smiled wickedly and pulled out a Zydrate gun. "Now that you here Amber...how about some Z…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was late when she found him, as she planned it to be. Dark, how he prefers his waking hours. Strange to see, it wasn't his alley. She was uptown, preparing to head back to her empty house, after a few hours of searching.
Walking by a large bank on the nicer part of town, Shilo saw something out of the corner of her eye, someone. Two someones. The first figure was easily recognizable as Graverobber, with his long dreadlocks falling down his back that Shilo didn't know any other person to have. The second person with him was someone that Shilo did not know. Not difficult since she knew nobody. He was an elderly man, most likely in his late 70's early 80's. He was standing against the wall, making no effort to show that he was enjoying the conversation at the very least. For good reason, it seemed for at that moment Graverobber pulled out a knife and plunged it into the old mans stomach. A loud groan of pain and the man was on the ground, lifeless.
A small gasp came out of Shilo's mouth to quickly to be stifled by her hand.
"Kid, is that you?"
