In the morning, when sun was starting to shine the whole city, people were heading to work. Energetic dogs were running and playing around between the people and some were smiling at them. The sound of train’s whistle was filling the nearby areas sometimes. A man in dark suit was passing by people without bumping to them. He was the headman from last night, who was looking for an answer to the rumors. The meeting of the morning which was hold by the boss, was about finding a solution to stop vampires and boss decided to send the headman ro look for the assassin. It was the best way if it was possible, but no one knew how can a person oppose vampires, however it worthed a shot. After passing through the houses and some tall buildings, the man got into a bar. “Hey Michael, nice timing come over here!” said a man as the headman entered the bar like he knew the headman for a while. “It might be a good chance to talk about the rumor.” Michael though and went toward the table where two big men and a smaller one were sitting around it. The cards’ arrangement was showing that they were playing poker. Michael sat on the empty chair “Wassup my Gs?” Michael said and gathered all cards, then started shuffling them. One of the men with a brown, large mustache said “Michael, I swear I’ll shoot you if you cheat this time!” Michael nodded “Don’t worry, I won’t” The man said “You say this every time and you cheat again!” “I promise, I won’t do it!” said and chuckled.
“So, I’ve heard there’s an assassin in the city!” Michael said before finishing shuffling. “An assassin?! Oh! You mean the hunter! Yeah, he’s pretty demented to mess up with the vampires.” Said David who called Michael first to the table. He got the two cards and the next was Carmine. The one with the brown mustache. “I’m not even sure if he’s even telling the truth.” Said Carmine with his deep voice when he got his cards “I mean, come on! Someone came out of the blue and gets money to back vampires off? That’s pretty an obvious rip-off!” Riley, the fourth guy with a small but well-tuned body said with high voice “But don’t forget, he really got the jobs done! It’s not long since he approached in this city. That might take a while for him to prove himself; Why did you started this talking about him by the way?” Michael placed 5 cards in the middle of the table and said without looking at them “Nothing special, I just wanted to know where can I find him” and betted 10 dollars. “Well Mason might know about him. He listens to every one’s words.” Said Frank after everyone checked the 10 dollars. Mason was the bartender in another bar. That bar was the most dangerous one because mafias usually go there for important talks. Michael flipped one of the five cards which was a queen of spades and made one pair for Michael, it might had also gotten a straight for Riely. Michael raised to 40 dollars and Carmine folded after he said “Fuck this! I’m out!”. Then, it was Riley’s turn who raised to 100 dollars. Michael smiled with mischief “A good hand huh?” then raised to 500 dollars. “Mother fuck!” Carmine said before folding. Riley was quite scared and though “Why did he raised? He’s making a flush? But I betted 100! But if his hand’s better I will loose 500!” After a while, Riely decided to not risk it and folded. Michael showed his hand and it was lower than everyone. He got his 160 dollars and got up “Good Game!” The other three were greedy. Michael walked toward the barmaid who was a small, under 18 years old looking girl. He gave her 60 dollars “They’re my guest today.” And pointed at Riley and others. Barmaid nodded and watched Michael going out of the bar. Sun was in the first quarter of the sky. “How much time did I spend there?” He said when he was tightening his eyes while looking at people and covering his face. The train whistled and filled the area again and made birds fly away. Michael started walking toward the bar that the bartender was in. “What if they were playing around with me?” He sighed and continued walking “Whatever!”

He stopped in front of the bar they were talking about. He was kind of in of short of breath after walking the long distance. “If it wasn’t because of the repairer, I could have gotten here in a short time by the mafia’s car” he had said before he breathed in and entered. He saw the vast, shiny and luxury bar that he doesn’t see usually across the town. The tables of poker and other card games were a bunch but still leaving the most of the space to put tables for drinks. Some people took a quick glance at him and some started gazing. Some were happy and enjoying the meals and drinks and some were agitated. Michael walked straight to the bar serving table and sat on of the empty chairs and looked at the bartender who seemed to be Mason. Mason came to him and asked “What would you like to drink today sir?” Unlike other bars, here a lot of important people and mafias’ authorities gather here to talk over business and stuff, so it wasn’t a surprise for Mason to not remember everyone. Michael tried to act cold and serious but still respectful, put 100 dollars on the table “One cup of Shiraz wine” “Sir the drink is just 30 do…” Mason was saying when Michael cut his words to continue “And information about the hunter.” Mason seemed to be surprised by his influence of getting information. He found out Michael’s kind of a person who knows what exactly he wants and knows the way. “Why don’t you just ask about your job for him?” Mason said suspectedly and Michael answered “I want to rent him for a while.” Mason tightened his eyes and stared at him for some seconds and said seriously with a different expression and in lower voice than before “He lives in a container at the top of the mountain which the main train’s rails are placed beside.” Michael smiled because of his success in his job and said “So, where’s the wine?”
It was getting pretty dark and the pollution was obscuring atmosphere more and more, when someone knocked on the door of a big house. The house had a huge main building and a big garden outside. The garden contained plenty of various plants. Flowers were glowing under the beautiful moon which was unclear due to smokes. Someone passed through the trees and reached the door. “Who’s there?” said a high, feminine voice. “H-Hey Iris! It’s Jacob!” stammered a man. Iris who was a beautiful, 25 years old-looking girl with normal height, opened door. Jacob smiled as soon as his smooth face saw Iris. He was kind of red when he said “Weren’t bodyguards around to open the door?” “You have a problem with me opening the door?” said Iris who looked to be pretty cold and passionless. Jacob shook his head immediately and refused “No, No! I mean I didn’t want to disturb.” Iris started walking toward the building after she said coldly “You did anyway, so come in!” Jacob sighed and followed her. When he got into the building, he saw the huge hall which had several rooms and places door opened in it. It also had two-way stairs that lead to other rooms like boss’s working room. Jacob went upstairs while he was organizing his mind to talk to boss. Jacob stood behind the working room and finally entered when he heard “come in” after he knocked. The boss was a cute young-looking girl who seemed to be new in her job. She had blonde glossy hair and big eyes. She was wearing a big eyeglasses. “Milady, the Sopranos are making a move against the vampires.” Said Jacob seriously after a bow. “How so?” said boss waiting for more answers. “They’re looking for the Hunter guy. I’m afraid they want to hire him with an astronomical payment. “Hire him? Doesn’t he work alone? He even refused government’s invitation and they even threaten him by taking his house, but it was no use.” She said and Jacob nodded “Yes. But we still don’t know what plan do they have.” She rubbed her forehead with her tiny fingers “Okay… keep observing on them until you see something else.” Jacob nodded again and walked toward the door. “Hey” she said and made him stop. Jacob turned back at her “Yes?” “Make the fighter’s trainings harder, just in case if they want to make a move.” She said and caused Jacob to look at her a few seconds and nod. Then he left and closed the door behind him.
