I awoke with a start, my bed was covered in sweat and so was I. My alarm clock beeped repeatedly, I hit it and it stopped. It read 10:30 Am and I quickly got dressed and ran out of the door without eating. I met Ecic at the fountain as promised, after waiting an hour just to tell her that if this were any other day I'd leave after waiting so long. We met Waterdragonn at small restaurant and I scarfed as much as I could.

“OK, today's client is Harper_Iop, He wants two men captured. One by the name of Zexus and the other is Vengus, Zexus is a level ten threat but Vengus is easily a level thirty.” Waterdragonn told us as I continued eating.

“I'll go for the level ten.” I said between slurps of my ramen. Waterdragonn gave me a nasty look.

“There is no way that a newbie can take a level thirty, She'll have enough on her hands taking down Zexus.” He scolded me. Ecic seemed to take offence to him slandering her strength. “And besides, you haven't taken down anything more than a level five for some time now.

“Fine, but I want a bigger cut.” I demanded. He nodded.

I got up and grabbed the wanted poster from his hand.
“Any Idea where either of them are?” I questioned.

“Probably in the slums, I suggest that we recon...” Before he could finish I ran out of the door.

I hopped on my bike and drove as fast as I could while avoiding traffic. The slums, why would he want me to go there? I lost my partner there two years ago. I never want to go there again but in this case I have to, if I don't then Ecic will surely die and I don't want to be responsible for that either. So I decided to go alone. So that I could not risk another again, I might die, but that is my pride, I will risk my safety for those I hold dear to me. I only wish is that I had done this earlier.

I knew where these men were, they had a certain calling card. Every one of their victims were in one small area, The eye told me that. Every time a person was killed the image of an eye being impaled by two swords was drawn on the corpse with it's own blood. Vengus was the leader of a gang, they say he has been the leader for four years after the previous leader was killed by a bounty hunter. All I had to do in order to find him was trace the locations of the murders and hope to come across a few of his henchmen, after beating them up I'd force them to tell me where he is and finish them off. I didn't have to wait long. Two of his men were harassing a woman on her way home.

“Oi, how about you let the lady go?” I shouted and gained their attention. I got off my bike and walked over to the men showing them my badge.

“Oooooh, a bounty hunter, what do you want officer?” One tried to intimidate me. The other pushed the woman to the ground.

“Hmmm, now that you mention it. Why don't you tell me where your boss is?”

“He's a crazy, why would we tell you that?” He turned to the other.

I stepped in a puddle that stretched over to the shorter man's feet. He started shaking and fell to the ground as if he were having a stroke.

“If you don't tell me I'll fry your partner.” I threatened. The man on the ground gave a howl of pain as more electricity flowed through his body.

“T-try me!” the other yelled.

The water around me exploded in a cloud of steam and I jumped over the standing man and stabbed his arm with one of my blades. His arm moved without his consent and his hand wrapped itself around his neck. He started gasping for air.

“F-fine, he's hiding in a small shack on fifth street.” His hand grasped even harder.

“There's no point in trying to lie to me,” I whispered in his ear.
