I pull up to 24th residential area. People were walking around talking. Families with children. People walking their dogs. Food trucks. Apartments. Some of them were talking in hushed manors. Some of them were on their phones. Some were sitting down on benches, covered by the green, luscious tree lying above their head. That area was further out however.

So much fun seems to be here. Giggling, eating, smiling, all with their parents.

I continued to walk around the area to find if anything suspicious is happening.

The sun was bright but not too hot yet. Beaming its rays that are full of joy to everyone. Everyone but me.

No one seemed to be paying me any attention and I prefer that.

I turned a corner into another semi populated field that's industrialized and continue looking. This residential area is pretty clean, has decent working people, people walking around without a care in the world. Just looking forward while smiling and talking.

I would have gotten robbed if I did that when I was younger in my old neighborhood and my current one as well. I just.... Want to be able to laugh with people again... Eat and smile with friends.. Introduce my dad to my friends while he tells me how proud he is of me... We make plans on where we should all go to hangout. My dad says that he's off of work for the remainder of the day. I hug my dad and never let go. Never forgetting how much warmth he gives . to. me.. Then my best friend says we should go to a concert while talking to me. In a warm, calm voice. I say yes while smiling and getting excited. My boyfriend makes a funny joke that we laugh at. He then grabs my hand.. Then... Then......... then.....

Tears start forming in my eyes but I wipe them away. I hate the entity that ki... no... made my dad sleep eternally. Just ....a monster.....

"Hello young lady, are you new here? you seem to be spacing out?" A old man asked me.

'Ah, no.. I was just thinking about what I should do with my friends later.' I said while giving a smile.

"Haha, even I space out like that sometimes when i'm remembering something. Have a good rest of your day!" He told me while walking off in the direction he was going in.

I didn't say anything else and continued walking in my path. I see a police guy and ask him a question.

'Um, excuse me.. has anything weird happened earlier today?' I asked while looking him in the eyes.

"Actually yeah. We were trying to find those guys who were behind the auction shootout last night. Somewhere around 54th avenue. My buddy Jermy said we can't find the guys anymore.. Can you believe that? He just saw those guys and already lost em." He said in a friendly voice.

I don't want to push my luck here.

'Wow... I just asked because my friend said he saw a group of people earlier and wanted me to ask around' I told him while giving a little smile.

"Yeah, you stay safe out there from those dangerous criminals. You here me?"

'Will do. Thank you.'

"No problem."

I walk off noticing his engagement ring.

54th avenue is a ten minute walk from here.

After getting there. I notice that this area is a bit more worn down and dirty than the ones I was previously in. It still was in decent condition since nothing was broken around here. The sun was still in it's same place in the sky. Clouds did occasionally block it's path. I also saw some yellow tape around one of the apartments.

No one was outside and I saw a group of four people looking around. I get the impression these people will tell me something. Hopefully..

They haven't noticed me yet but that's because i'm sneaking around the place. Looking for a good way to beat up four adult men. Hmmm. Oh this will work... I start to grab a small box from my pocket.

I look around again to see if anyone is here. No one is near this side of the apartment I'm standing next to. It's simple really. What i'll do is provoke them, they'll come over here, set off the little trap I have.

*Squish*

Hopefully one of them doesn't get completely knocked out though.. Now to follow-though.

I come out of this ambush spot and face their general direction. They're medium distance across from me. I have plenty of time to go back into my spot before they arrive. Provided i'm fast enough.

"It's a girl. Finally... we can all get a share of her..."

"Hell yeah! I needed some sex today"

"Sure that's a female? she got some small ass tiddies.."

Shut. up. you degenerates.. I still continue to stand there then put my hands up on my chest begin to back up.

"HEY! where do you think you're going.. come on.. I'll give you some coccaine and money if you come with me.."

"AFTER HER"

They started to run after me while I did the same.

*SWOOSH*

I jumped backwards to avoid the rope and dashed to the right, where the apartment backside is located.

This apartment was surrounded by another apartment to it's left, The area could probably fit a car in with its width roughly. Behind that was another apartment that had the same width. The apartment that I was behind right now.

"WHAT THE"

"GRRRR"

Ah yes, they fell right into my trap card. I started to dash forward as well. I took some string and placed it across the two apartments. It wasn't held down TOO hard since all I did was put two rocks on both sides but it should work. And it did..

"YOU SLIPPERY LITTLE TRAINGENDER!"

Now to knock them down. The string activated and they fell down. Face-first.

Now that I was in close combat and all of them still being perplexed and stunned. I started to punch and kick them in the head. Knocking them all out except for one. One of them got up but I kicked him back down.

Hopefully this one tells me something.. I did punch this guy but he's still conscious.

'Hi! please tell me everything you know about the Blair cloak and the whereabouts of it.' I told him while I grabbed him by the collar bone and stared at him. If he tries anything, then i'll either stop it OR punch him again.

"I'm not telling you anything!" he said with a aggressive tone. I held him in a specific way so that he can still sort of talk. No one should be able to see us here...

I grab my SMG with my free hand.

'I kept you all alive for a reason. Now please tell me before I do something with this gun.'

"You can kill me but you won't get anything out of me! I may have been one of the guys who did it but you won't get anything else out of me!"

How convenient.

'Fine, I'll just send the GHS.42 after you. He'll deal with you after that.' I said smirking at him.

"I don't know what the hell that is but please.. I'm begging you man don't send him after me."

'I won't if you just tell me what you know, or else I'll do that and inject you with Cholesteatoma all over your body, you'll be in a state of of being that you won't even be able to comprehend your existence, it'll be like receiving a malleus for the first time.' I said while grinning at him.

'Also the caste of Naru will signify their squad. The same squad that took down Keanu. B. Grevis in 2016. Back when they were still in the great conflict of Babylon. Although.. You could just... I don't know... TELL ME AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENS." I said while grinning even harder and closer my eyes.

"Oh god, I don't want to know what you're talking about but it sounds horrific.. Alright I'll talk"

Thank god that worked. I literally was talking about parts of the ear, an island that barely anyone lives on, and other fake stuff.

It's like what they say. The one who talks the most is the one that is believed the most. I made that up but still.

"Alright. We came into the auction and shot up the place. People are screaming, yada yada. Then this dude comes in and explodes the goddamn wall. He escapes with the cloak. While all of us are still looking around seeing what the hell happened and where the cloak is. Then one of the guys said he stole it. My guy said he has brown hair with a beard. Got average size and weight to him. And one hell of a tricky basterd to get past us."

He sighs then starts back up, I don't loosen my grip or SMG.

"We were looking around and we saw him earlier on the rooftop here. He turned fucking INVISIBLE and beat our asses up. We were getting shat all over out there. Not physically you know.... One guy said the guy calls himself 'Erik' and had a conversation. Apparently the talking went sideways and Erik killed the guy by shooting him. We saw Erik shortly after that. Then he turned invisible and left a card. We looked at the card and it said some shit like.. 'I'll be at the rooftop at 9:00PM. Don't get me waiting' and that was all.

The police came like.. ten... fiveteen? minutes after that and we ran away. We hid for a little while and some of the guys went their own ways. Then we started to sit around the place you saw us at. Waiting around. Then you came out of no where and we all were angry and shit. We just wanted to pin down a cute girl and have some fun with her.. Can I still pin you down, don't scream, and let me have some fun with you?" He asked while lowering his voice.

'Thanks for all of the info.. but uh.. I don't like the sound of that so NO.' I said while loosening up my grip.

"Fine, I'LL TAKE YOUR SHIT-HOLE BY FORCE THEN." He yelled out while getting ready to pin me down I assume.

*Sigh*

I dodge his sloppy tackle then jump onto his back. He was larger than me so this works.

"WHAT THE" he said while still being dazed from missing his charge.

I put my legs in a cris-cross position around his neck in a forceful way. Then I lean forward.

*SNAP*

*THUD*

He completely fell over with a loud thud while I jump off of him, using the momentum of my hands I positioned downward.

His head hit the concrete hard and probably has brain damage now. Oh well..

I go over to the other dudes and ponder about how I should make sure they don't get in my way. OH RIGHT.

Heh, doubt anyone would miss these losers. I put a clip into my gun.

*Click*

I'll dispose of the bodies so that no one finds them. Plus people do this often enough and they never get caught.

*SPLAT*

*KERSPLOSH*

*PLASHTS*

I just shot them in the head, brains spilling out but I got into a position so that the shots wouldn't be too loud. Unfortunately got a face full of blood now. I'll dry off later.

Now... to just put them in a garbage where they probably belong.. Including me but i'm not the dead one here heh..

I grab one of the guy's shirts and wipe my hands, gun, and face down. Then toss him inside a garbage container. If someone finds them, I doubt it'll be pinned down to me.

*Thud*

*Thud*

The police don't investigate incidents like this all that much. They actually seem to encourage this type of stuff to happen.

*Thud*

And that's all of the bodies disposed.

Let's see... It's 4:36PM right now. I check to see if Chrollo messaged but I forget that we still have to exchange numbers. I got time to head back over to my apartment and wait on him. Which is what I'll do.

I start to speed walk out of the area and to the path of my car.

Avoiding talking to anyone in my path.

I was paying attention but wanted to block out the peoples discussions of their friends and family. I unlock my grey car door then start the engine and interface up.

*VRMMMMMM*

The car was hot and didn't have much humidity. It felt like a desert in there...

Much better. I put the cooling system on. I know my way back and it should only take around thirty minutes to get back home. I'll check up on Chrollo and eat something. I'll order some chicken wings.. We can both share them. I could just cook BUUUTT I don't feel like it right now. I'm not tired though.

I place an order for pickup at Wingstart. I shouldn't have to wait too long until I can grab them.

I then start to drive over to the place.

Why do I get the feeling this will be a LONG NIGHT....
