A scream sounded from behind me, I jumped in response. My body worn from the previous battle refused to move. Blood ran from my mouth, I hadn't the abiltiy to move talk. A hand landed on my shoulder, at this point everything had begun to fade to black.
"Essiy! Essiy?!" A voice came from beside my ear. I assumed that they were trying to wake me up.

************************************************************************************************

I Jumped from roof top to roof top chasing the enemy. I reached to my sides and pulled two daggers from their holsters on my belt. With the enemy in sight I threw one at his back. The indicator that it had hit it's mark was the dust cloud that surronded his body.

I grinned. But this isn't over, not even close.

We approached the body on the ground. He still tried to get away, but the electrical nature of my blades kept him paralyzed from location of the blade downwards.

"Nasty little buggers aren't they?" I said as I reached for my handcuffs. When the cuffs were on I pulled the blade from his back and his body loosened up.

"D-damn you." He spat in disgust. "I hope you bounty hunters rot."

"There's no chance of that happening any time soon." I responded and pulled him up. I yanked him off the roof. My client stood a few feet in front of me. By the look of his car I could easily tell he had the money to pay me and give me a very generous tip.

"Essiy, my dear man. Thank you for bringing him to me." My client called when he saw me. I tossed the beaten up man at the feet of my client.

In one last desperate attempt the man cried. "Don't you know what he'll do to me?"

"I honestly have no right to know what happens to you, and besides, even if he kills you it doesn't effect me, does it?" I responeded coldy. My hand outstretched to my client. He handed me my money and I walked away as if nothing had happened. I heard tires screeching and the car pull away.

Some could say that they'd be ashamed to have my job, sure I feel that way too, but there is a fine line between this life and scrounging around trying to feed one's self. I'm not the only person become a free lance bounty hunter out of nessitary.
