Nightly Shades

[Serpentis]

Location: New Berlin


It was wet, not as usual, it had rained for several days now, the streets where slippery and the night sky was dark and creepy, he had ran for hours at end, without any luck, who ever was chasing him he was still behind him. The rain splashed his face as he turned a street and saw three Security officers, he ran as fast as his severly drained stamina would allow, he would be safe.

[color=#CCCCCC]"Help! HELP ME!" He yelled at the three, they turned at him and looked suprised and a bit shocked, one of the officers held a pistol, but wasnt aimed at anything in perticular.
He ran up to them panting, he could hardly get a word out, his loungs were drained of air and his legs had nearly given up on him, his breathing was heavy and was holding on to one of the officers jackets as he gasped for air.

"Im -inhales- being -exhales- chased!"

They looked around and then back at the man, that was now sitting crouched by there feet, his breathing irregular and he was obviously scared of something. They asked him a series of questions, not that I cared at all what they had to say, I had chased the man here for a reason. Rather take them all out at once then having to take them out one by one, it was just such a waste off time. I sat on top of the building next to them, it was barely 15 feet high, but enough for me to make it without injuries. I smiled as I pulled out the 4 feet long blade that was attached to my right arm, it was sharp and could penetrate most basic body armors. I stood up and looked down at the group and leaped down at them blade aiming at the officer with the pistol, a blink of an eye later his shoulder was seperated from his torso, as was his right arm, it lay on the street and blood flowed over the street, mixing with the rain.

A second later the other officer head got seperated from his body and splashed in a puddle of water not far from where he was standing, the third and final security officer looked in horror at me as my personal cloak turned off and I looked right back at him, my heads up display told me that his heart rythm had increased severly and I knew that he was frozen with horror. I chuckled, but only so loud that I could hear it and walked up to him, I noticed how he had dropped his own pistol onto the ground and that he was crying, I hoped that it was tears anyway, it could have been rain aswell. He muttered something about; "Please.. Please..". I grinned and took up the pistol he had dropped and put it at the officers forehead, and squeezed the trigger. The man fell over and he felt no more, ashame I thought, it would have been fun to have him as entertainment onboard The Nox.
I casualy threw the pistol away and looked down at the now, covered in blood and weaping in fear, target off mine, he was a worthy prize, someone would be satisfied with his knowledge of Rheinland stations and bases, I pulled out the small injector from my utility belt and injected him with it. He passed out, I simply put him on my shoulder and ran off toward my pick-up point.
The rain continued to fall, it beat heavily on my visor and helmet, but I didnt mind, it would just clear the evidence away from where I left the three bodies of the now dead officers. I came to the high building, I stared up at it and tought to myself;
"Why do I always choose the highest Pick-Off point?"
I took the grapling gun from my belt and fired it up at the top of the building a few moments later, my HUD acknowledged the attachment of the grappling device and I started to run up the building, with the Target over my shoulder. When I came up and climbed over the edge the Shadow, a light fighter of Civilian design was waiting for me. I climbed in and put my little target in the backseat, strapped in and started the engines and flew off the Planet of New Berlin.

Another day, and another pay.
