This one smelled of death even from this far away, a scent he was too familiar with. He had watched her move across the opposing sidewalk while he kept his own form assumed the guise of someone checking the time impatiently on his watch for a meeting he didn’t need to wait for.

The woman didn’t look familiar despite the fact that she seemed to hold a familiarity towards her surroundings. Had she been here before or was it the fact that something else reminded him of something? He couldn’t tell. There was something sinking beneath the surface of that scent, one that was enticing him to play with her. A person like her must contain amusement he could dabble in before he would venture back into the Dark Place for the writer for tonight. Hell, he might get a bit more than just his usual fun if the girl was gullible enough for it but for now, he was going to focus on just toying with the girl.

The sun was going down as he stepped away before the light post brightened up, making him twirl elegantly from the spotlight. It wasn’t going to burn him, but he wasn’t going to waste his energy on anything minimal.

                            “THAT’S A  ––– THAT’S A ROLL of wrapping paper. Why are you handing it to me? That’s not what I meant when I said I’d do you a favor. Is it my claws? Are you doing this because of my claws?”

Luis couldn’t say he enjoyed his new life in the DSO. It was so much work, and not much fun. Mostly paperwork. He sighed to himself, rolling himself into the offices in his chair. He’d been lucky Ada had found him, like she did, stitched him up and wrote him an alibi. Of course, keeping his curiosity away from the new viral infections was hard, and he continued to research them outside of work, but who would be the wiser?

She didn’t think it was possible. It has been nearly a year since the last time she saw the girl and the fact that she was pronounced dead almost months later had indeed happened.

Yet there the girl was, standing just there in the middle of the crowded plaza as she waiting for the contact that was sent to retrieve her. Usually, Rebecca would keep to protocol, but this one... oh, this one was going to get an earful.

Sprinting towards her as people stepped out of the way, the Assassins hacker tackled the woman as both landed into the fountain water.

Élise smiled softly at the newcomer. Because of all her father’s meetings that had occured in the past, she was quite used to guide new people. Even if France was a DANGEROUS country these days. But she couldn’t judge the other for coming there anyway, so she still wanted to help her, even if she doubted it would be easy.
