Murderer
"Alert me of any approaching patrol-bots."
"Yes, sir."
The door slid open and I stepped into Raoul's bedroom. The lump underneath the duvet lay unmoving, soundly asleep. It was freezing outside and being under warm covers sounded nice.
Just before reaching out to the sleeping figure on the bed, I felt a taser pen point to my jugular and an arm holding me in a chokehold fashion. The movement was swift and my reflexes were dull from exhaustion. A taser pen or two wouldn't knock me out, courtesy of Nash's training. However, being in a situation as such certainly wasn't thrilling.
"What is the Night Walker doing in my room in the middle of the night?" my assailant hissed.
"Well, it looks like I've been found out! Who would have thought Raoul Harper was capable of subduing a criminal? I guess you're not as fragile as you appear to be."
Snarling, the chokehold tightened and I ga

It was quiet. Tension was in the very air we breathed and every channel showed the same thing.Four days after the murder of the century's most promising scientist, the media continued to hound for answers. Spencer remained tight-lipped as usual but anybody could see how livid he was."The Night Walker is an extremely dangerous person who should not be allowed to walk in the Inner City. We are unable to reveal any details about Raoul Harper's murder but there is one thing we know for sure. The Night Walker is responsible."As expected of Spencer, he was faster than I gave him credit for. Even after wiping out all physical traces, I couldn't erase eyewitnesses.Tired of hearing the repetition of Spencer's warning and advice for citizens to lock up at night and add extra security measures, I put the tablet to sleep. When Mia was murdered in cold blood, no one bothered to offer a single word of console or remorse for

An unfamiliar ceiling…As my brain started to function I felt warm. There was a blanket and I was in someone else's bed. The room was dark and I had no clue where I was. The first thing I did was to check my clothes.Nope. Everything was still intact as when I arrived at Nash's house.Suddenly it clicked. Nash!The door clicked open and light filtered into the room while I was recollecting my memories of what happened."Oi brat, you're awake now?"There was that gruff voice with a hint of warmth and relief. I smiled at how even after everything that happened, Nash was still trying to pretend that he doesn't care with his usual grumpiness."I am now. What happened?"Nash grunted and plopped down onto his bed. "You blacked out all of a sudden. Ignacio said that it was some sort of panic attack. Never knew the man was adept at
The Liberal Assassin Luna Services At Your Call
Felix made good of his word and Luna Services was completely revamped within a month. All necessary legal and administrative matters were taken care of, all I needed to do was sign some agreements and the company ready to be incorporated as a monolith that occupied an entire Area district beside Felix's company. The news of T.C. and Felix joining hands for this new giant that emerged overnight had taken the Inner City by storm. It wasn't difficult to call for a press interview and Felix had opted to take a backseat saying people would like to see a handsome young face for a change of pace.That leads us to what we were doing now. The wheeler halted and I got out, waiting for Ignacio to do the same. We were at Lisa's boutique ready to make new suits for the press interview scheduled after a brief meeting with Felix.The electronic chime went off as we stepped in, alerting Lisa of our arrival. The small woman emerged from the room behind the c

Two months hurtled by and the weather had gone from cold to butt-numbing freezing. No one ventured outside willingly, not even the Night Walker who preferred spending his days cooped up in an office.Throwing the pen down with a noisy clatter, I threw my hands up and let it flop to my side without a care. The chair groaned under my weight as if knowing the burden I carried. It was a mind-numbing problem, really. Despite becoming a force to reckon with in the market, Luna Services still hasn't managed to buy the trust of the people in the Slums. Red Rumble continued to elude Nash as they held their regular customers steadily. There was simply too much work to be done in the office and I wanted out."I'm thinking of retiring," I sighed.Ignacio paused his work and looked up from the tall stack of folders on his desk. "I'm sorry, could you say that again?"I raised an eyebrow at the utter confusion on I

"…and we will bring in a new business partner from the Slums. Nash Skinner is a very capable man with great influence on the people there. He will work alongside Ignacio who will be taking over the position of Chief Executive Officer of Luna Services."Gasps and murmurs broke out after I ended my announcement. It was a rather sudden thing so objections are expected. I could see that Felix frowned in disapproval but opted to remain silent about it until the meeting was adjourned.One by one, the board directors and major shareholder representatives left after they were unable to convince me to change my mind. I tidied the table with the help of Ignacio after they had left. Only Felix remained as we had anticipated."Why?" he asked. "Luna Services is doing so well, why now?"I smiled and exchanged looks with Ignacio. The brunet nodded and took the cue to give us some privacy. The moment the door
The Liberal Assassin The First Lead
By the time I woke up, the stars were greeting me in place of Pyros. What a nostalgic feeling. This only happened while I was still in the Academy. Mrs Peterman and Alastair often chided me for having unhealthy sleeping habits and now it felt a little too quiet without their nagging. Trying to go back to sleep would be futile as I tossed about in bed. Finally relenting, I got up and set to work."Lilith Malfoy…" a glance over at Cain 2.0. The gears in my head started turning as the sleep induced fog in my brain cleared.Thanks to Luna Services, I knew what kind of internal system the Inner City used. The Night Walker might be an expert at hacking devices and systems but hacking the Inner City's mainframe would be on a whole new level. No one had attempted to alter the mainframe for as long as it existed and that's saying something. All devices and programs were dependant on it since nobody remembered the man who made the mainframe sys
The Liberal Assassin My Teacher - Nash Skinner
"You've been really quiet for a while.""It is for good reasons. I trust that you are doing well under Ignacio's leadership?"Nash sighed and sank into his new fluffy couch. "Not really. There are still shareholders who disapprove of someone from the Slums and someone who had been a Special Pass worker running the company. The Parliament is also giving us pressure and some monoliths formed alliances to cut off trades with us. However, the kid dealt with everything easily. He's asking the Slums for trades and expanded the logistics department, giving employment to the people in the Slums and the ones struggling in the Inner City. Many rich folks saw it as a golden opportunity and share prices are still rising."Chuckling to myself, I have to say Ignacio wasn't a genius in merely title. Luna Services will be in good hands."I'm more curious as to what you're planning," Nash grunted as he shot me a half

“... more incentives.”A pair of beady eyes bored into my forehead when silence ensued. I flashed the famous hundred watt smile after noticing none of the words registered in my head. “Naturally. Everything can be arranged. However, I hope that you understand this is a trade.”Juma West was an ugly, fat and bald thing whose grubby fingers only worshipped the credits in his account. Although this man had nothing on him according to my information, he was one of the targets on that list. Twelve targets, twelve purposes. Juma was the first because he was the least important.Tiny eyes narrowed. “What are you asking for in return?”I smiled charmingly but it did nothing to soothe the man’s wariness.
