I went through the files. Rummaging through anything that I could get my hands on. What I found, however, were just fighting records of Purple’s participants down here in The Under Belly. Most of which i hospitalized. All my failed search did was frustrate me. I was tired, I was hungry. But most of all? I was pissed off.

“Mad Dog? The Dark God? These guys sound like clowns...”

I said throwing the files on the desk.

“Where does purple keep his confidential files. I’ve had my AI scan your computer three times. And she’s found nothing after every attempt. “ I said to the lackey. He looked up at me. He’d been handcuffed, glaring up at me with a scowl on his face.

“And why should I tell you anything? He’d find out, and then? He’d send some Syndicate goon’s to come kill me. Kill my family, friends? Fuck that.” He spat at my boots. I walked towards him, getting ready to beat the everlasting shit out of him. Until I heard gunfire.

“Looks like the gangs all here. “ The lacky said laughing, his head low as he went into a sleep. How could he sleep right now!? I rushed out of the room only to discover the Tiger Unit soldiers getting ripped to shreds. They were in a tight gunfight, and they were losing.

“Who are these guys!?” I shouted towards the lacky. But I got no response. I would’ve pulled my pistol's out, firing at the men who rushed in. They wore all white suits, blazers included. To top it off, they all wore masks. White mask that covered the entire head. The only thing that was shown in their attire that had a different pigmentation. Had been there obsidian colored gloves.

They were wiping the floor with the KPD unit, and it wouldn’t be long until they got to me! I jumped out of cover, firing at a few. I Knocked three down but they kept swarming in like ants to spilled soda.

“Shit!” I said, firing at as many as I could. Bam, I took a shot to the shoulder. Another shot to the stomach, and then another shot across the face. I hit the ground, bleeding pretty heavily as I tried to back away into the room where I’d been in previously. Crawling back into the office as the gun-fire continued to rain down.

“Who are these guys?!” I said through grit teeth while I sat against the wall. Unable to stand. I closed the door behind me and scrambled on the opposite of the room. Panting, I lifted both of my arms up as I pointed my pistols at the door. I could hear the battles. The sound of men screaming. And dying, bullets flying. A few going through the door and the walls of the office.

“No… not like this. I know it’s here. I know it!” I said through gritted teeth as I kept my guns up. “I can’t die. Not like this. Please… not like this. I can't let Xena down. Not when I'm so close.“I said trying to gather my composure. “ Okay, keep it together. Don’t break down. Not yet. Don’t let them see you weak. Come on… focus. “ I coached myself.

I heard the chaos. It grew louder and louder until I heard an Explosion. The entire building shook. And I trembled from the impact. “Fuck! “ I said panicking again. This didn’t make things better. I remember how terrified I was. I could feel the sweat trickling down my neck, sliding down my breast. My breath hitched, and my arms trembled. My vision was blurring. I was losing too much blood. It felt like an eternity as I sat there. Waiting. For my inevitable death.

The door was kicked open. And I paused. Firing a few times. “Get back!” I said shouting at the intruder. Only for my vision to shift. And the first thing I saw? Were those beautiful brown eyes staring back at me. And that Silver Raven badge on his suspenders. He had brown hair, though it was cut short, military style. A large scar over his scalp. Tan skin, with a light beard that sketched its way across his jaw and chin. He was beautiful. It may have been due to the fact I’d lost so much blood. But when I saw him? I felt. I felt safe.

“Aoimi Yoru?” He said, walking towards me in his tactical gear. Squatting down next to me so we were eye to eye.

“I'm Gabriel Rodriguez. From the UN task force, The Raven Crusade."

He said showing me his badge.

"The Kasaihana Council has called me. You disobeyed a direct order from your superior.” He gripped my chin, tilting my head up so we were facing each other.

“You’re under arrest. “He said smirking at me.
