Walking though town

[Yumi Nikita]

Yumi cautiously took Phatima's hand and used it to help herself up.
"It's OK, I'm not hungr--" Her stomach growled ferociously.
"Erm... Can I have something to eat please? The nasty man made me hungry." Remembering her fight, she quickly checked her arm for the cut, which had stopped bleeding recently. she wiped off some of the excess blood that had been trickling down her arm previously with the hem of her dress.

[Phatima Zenn]

"Well, All I have on me is this..."
He holds out a loaf of stale, almost rock solid, bread.
"I doubt I'll be eating it, so I suppose you can have it if you want, now, do you know how we can get south?"

D--- it, lets just get going allready... This is really testing my patience.

[Yumi Nikita]

"Oh." Yuim said, looking at the stale bread.
"I dunno where south is. We could ask someone. I've been doing that, and there are some really nice people here."

[Phatima Zenn]

"There are also some people here that are... less than friendly"
He pulled out a pin, and tore off a bit of the stale bread. pushing the pin through it he made a small float. Using some of the magnetism from one of his pistols he magnetised the pin, and set the compass into a puddle nearby.
"We have our bearing... Are you ready? Markus? Still coming?"
The compass worked, and the pin was pointing north, the bearing was the opposite direction.

[Markus Valentine]

"But of course" Markus said sounding fed up. He looked at his watch, not that time made a difference to this city.
"Maybe we should get going now" He sounded like he was ordering them. "Don't want to miss him, do we?"

[Phatima Zenn]

"No, we don't, lets get a move on"
He turned south and started walking, and stopped after a while, looking back at the three, a comic trio; Wolf, Vampire and Girl.
Chuckling to himself, he says "Coming or not?"

(( Move this thread into Southern? ))

[Yumi Nikita]

"Ok!" Yumi said, skipping after Phatima as if there was nothing to worry about.
"What's Jaden nii-sama like?" Yumi asked as she was walking, now next to Phatima.

[Phatima Zenn]

Chuckling to himself he responded
"Well, I've never actually met him before, so this will be a first, and possibly last..."
He stalled on the last word, harshly. After a moments silence he looked at Yumi, smiling again
"I'm a mercenary, I do jobs for people, this one just happens to be delivering a message, I dont know if my work will include him again"

[Yumi Nikita]

Yumi looked up at Phatima.
"What do you mean, probably the last?" She asked, inquisitively. "But we're going to see him now, so it's all gonna be okey-dokey!" The girl continued, an innocent smile spreading across her face.

[Phatima Zenn]

Looking at the girls innocent smile, he battled in his mind about the morals of using this child to aid him with the killing of a man. Deciding it was in his best interest, considering the reward offered, to not get attached, and simply play along until they had found Jaden.
"Well, my work usually doesn't lead me back to the same people twice, because I'm quite good at what I do, and get everything done the first time round."

Don't get morals into this, its your job, the reward is worth it.

"Yeah, we're going to see him right now, if he's in that is..."

[Yumi Nikita]

"Do you want to see Jaden nii-sama?" Yumi asked, smoothly talking off her backpack and zipping it open. She felt though the bag and eventually picked out an old protograph of her family.
"This is him," She said, holding up the photograph, pointing at one of the people in the background og the photo.
"I'm not in it because I was in my mummy's tummy then. See?" Yumi then pointed to her mother in the photograph, who was standing next to a man on the left side of the photograph.
"There she is on the right. She was really pretty." Tears started to form in her eyes.
"I really miss her.." She looked to the ground, praying that she wouldn't turn again.
"Can we go see Jaden nii-sama now?" She then looked at Phatima
"Please?"

[Phatima Zenn]

"Its not a matter of want to, its more a matter of needing to..." He paused, thinking what to say next, then it struck him, why was he dragging this girl along with them, she wasn't any help.
But then again, if he just upped and left, and Jaden found her first, he'd lose the element of surprise...
"I just need to feed myself, and delivering this message will get me the money for that"

Dumb girl, now I know what he looks like.

"We're currently on our way to what Markus says is the Circle HQ, if anywhere, thats where he'd be."

And the sooner I can ditch you two and claim my reward, the better.

[Graham Hills]

Graham was watching the event through his crystal ball...

No, no, no... If Phatima goes to the circle hq he'd be slaughtered...

[Phatima Zenn]

As the trio walked around the corner, four people, with blood smeared across their upper bodies tore out of a door. Upon looking at Yumi they all smiled wickedly, you could see the fangs slowing in the dim light, vampires. Quickly altering their course, they came tearing down the street towards the group, screaming obscenities.

"Yumi, behind me!" Phatima yelled as he recognised the threat, and quickly drawing and enabling his weapons. "Markus, little help."

With that he opened fire upon the group of bloodthirsty killers, hitting one in the knees, and knocking it convulsing to the ground as the electricity surged through it. The other three paid no heed to their friend in the blood-drunken rage as they simply continued to charge towards the group, slowly followed by the crawling comrade.

[Yumi Nikita]

Yumi quickly followed Phatima's order and ran a couple of metres behind him.
"Who are they?" She asked, daring to look though her fingers, which had now forced themselves to hide her face. She lost her blance and fell over backwards.
It seemed like that was the only thing that she was good at at the time. Running away and falling over.
She took her hands away from her face and looked at Phatima.
