Thank God I broke out of that hellhole, Hayden Desna thought as she casually walked along the streets of Braccio City. She had cut her hair to her chin and had straightened it. She also got colored contacts and had changed outfits. She didn't look like Hayden Desna anymore- she looked like someone else. Little did she know that Train, Sven, Eve, and Saya were on her trail once more.

"She can't be too far away from here," Train said while running with Saya. Sven and Eve were behind them.
"I hope that she's somewhere near here, because I'm getting tired," Sven said.
"We'll find her soon," Eve said. "I smell blood in the air again."
"That's always helpful," Saya said.
"It sure is," Train said while cherishing the feeling of having Saya run beside him. He hadn't ran alongside her in six or seven months, and it felt good to see her alive again. He couldn't help staring into her eyes.
That was when he crashed into a garbage can.
"Train, are you okay?" Saya asked, stopping momentarily to see if Train was okay.
"I'm fine. I didn't see it there. Go on. I'll catch up."
Saya sighed. "Okay. I'll see you when you get there." She took off again. Train watched her run, mesmerized by how she looked in the sunlight. He blinked and got up. He felt a sense of loneliness as Saya ran away. He ran to catch up to her. He knew that he would be one step behind them, but he could always jump in when he needed to. I can't let her get hurt, he thought to himself as he ran through the streets of Braccio City.
Jenos Hazard was there, happily chatting away with Hayden as if she was a random woman.
"Let us handle this, Jenos," Sven said.
"Go right ahead," Jenos said. "I'll be on the sidelines if you need any help."
Train was walked up to Jenos's side quietly and stood there, tense and waiting for the right moment to strike.
Saya took out her gun and aimed it at Hayden's head. She stood there for a minute before saying, "If you make any move, I'll shoot."
Hayden stepped forward. Saya aimed her gun up to the sky and fired. The bullet ricocheted off the walls of a few buildings before slamming into Hayden's left thigh. Hayden groaned in pain and went down on one knee. "What was that technique?" she asked. "I haven't seen it before."
"It's called the Reflect Shot," Train said while stepping forward from his place by Jenos's side and aiming his gun up to the sky. He fired his gun and his bullet dive bombed into Hayden's right arm. Train fired again and Hayden whipped out one of her knives. She managed to block the bullet, but Saya quickly dashed forward and hit Hayden with her gun on the side of her face. Nice one, Saya! Train thought as Saya proceeded to kick Hayden in the stomach and punch her in the face.
He couldn't stop smiling as Saya pounded Hayden with her feet and hands. Hayden got out one of her knives and proceeded to slash Saya's arm, but Saya ignored the pain and kept fighting. Train stepped in to help her by kicking Hayden's side. Sven whacked Hayden unconsious by hitting her across the side of the head with his attache case. Jenos left a few minutes later.
"You did really well back there," Train said.
"Thanks," Saya said while going slightly pink.
"Saya, are you okay?" Train asked as he looked at Saya in a concerned manner.
"I'm fine," she said. "I just spaced out, that's all."
"Are you sure that you're okay?"
"Yes, Train. I'm okay."
After heading back to the apartment, Train gave Saya a bottle of milk. To her surprise, it tasted better than the bottle of milk than she had had that morning. It tasted better in ways that couldn't be described in words. It probably has to deal with Train giving it to me, she thought. She lay down on the couch. I wonder where Train is, she thought before going to sleep. She dreamed of Train.
A/N: I apologize for the short chapter. I couldn't think of anything else to write. The next chapter will be longer, I promise!
