“Plea…”

BANG!

The man’s head exploded in a flash of green light. His body slumped to the ground. His killer holstered the silver gun he had discharged.

“God dammit!”

He searched the man’s body and found security access card, although he wasn’t certain what for. He tapped away on his wrist-pad. Before he could do a call it glitched, again. He never had an issue till now. Soon enough it fixed itself.

“It’s Bett…the target didn’t even say anything. He just fucking begged. Only thing I got was an access card…keep it? Oh, so he was a computer specialist assigned to the vault?Anyhow, do you have any more leads?”

Bett spoke to his benefactor, one that sounded like a man, yet with a feminine undertone — it was ambiguous. He couldn’t figure out which. That wasn’t the important thing, however. Being paid was. Here in the far reaches of space, this could be his biggest payment by a million (literally).

“Scarlet? Nova bomb? Redlight dis — yes I’ve fucked a woman before!”
