Week Later

Me and Cassie have been hard at work on finding Bronze Tiger, and Laurel was getting suspicious of me always leaving the house. I woke from bed about to go to the living room when I see Laurel laying next to me looking at me.

" So where you going? "

" Uh to the living room. "

" Ok because you've been leaving the house a lot, and haven't told my what you're doing or why. "

" Oh uh don't worry about it. "

" Of course the don't worry about it thing, you're always saying that! "

I didn't know what to say, we haven't got in an argument in a while. I just left the bed and made myself breakfast.

" Bryan someone is paying a visit. Watch out for him he is a dangerous man. "

" How? "

" He is a very trained assassin, he's not afraid to kill, he has no mercy. "

" Aright Bi Han, what happens if I encountered him? "

" Don't. "

Of course I didn't listen I waited for this guy to come to the mountain. When he did it was this guy wearing this almost cow-boy like hat, with two very unique looking pistols. I was looking at him through a corner, when I blinked he was gone. I got out the corner to look for him, when I felt someone creep up on me.

" Why were you stalking?! "

" Well I wouldn't call it stalking more like admiring. "

" What the fuck is wrong with you? "

" Well you look like a total bad-ass and those pistols look fucking amazing. Can I see? "

" Don't touch! "

" Aright chill, what's your name. "

" They call me Erron Black. "

" Woah that's even more badass.

" I don't have time for you. "

He walked by me and shoved his shoulder into mine. Minutes later I see him being chased by some Lin Kuei assassins. All of a sudden I see him fall of the cliff. I go to check and see him holding on to a branch.

" He's dead guys. "

The Lin Kuei just stood and starred at me.

" Seriously guys you drove him off the cliff. "

They walked away, and I quickly went to help Erron.

" Give me your hand. "

I pulled up the cliff back into safety.

" Why would you help me? "

" I believe in fair fights. "

" Thank you, thank you, I owe you. "

" Yeah no problem. Now get out of here before they see you. "

" We'll meet again. "

Present Day

Laurel was really mad at me, but I didn't want to tell her what I was doing. She couldn't know I was off in the streets wearing a red hood. I left the house again, probably a mistake but I had to find Bronze Tiger. When I got to Verdant and went to the door that let to the lair, and it was open! I went inside alert ready to attack. When I waked in there was a guy where a cow-boy like hat.

" Who the fuck are you! "

" Don't you remember me? "

I got closer to grab him, but he shoved me and pulled a pistol and pointed it at my head. The gun was very uniquely designed.

" Oh my god! Erron Black?! "

He pulled the gun down, and he came in for a hug. It was very unexpected.

" I told we'll meet again, you saved my life Bryan. "

" How you been you look like a bad-ass ninja cow-boy assassin. "

" Wow ok thanks I think. "

Moments later Cassie came in and pulled her gun and pointed at Erron.

" Woah, woah. He's a friend! "

" Oh my bad, it's that he looks like a cow-boy assassin. "

" That's what I said! "

I introduced Erron to Cassie, and Cassie to Erron. He explained that's he was also an expert tracker. That he would be happy to help us find Bronze Tiger. His help would very useful, Bronze Tiger was taking advantage of the big officials of this city. The worse the city got the more money he would get. After we all talked I went back home knowing I was in trouble with Laurel.

" Laurel? "

" Don't talk to me. "

" Laurel don't do this. "

" You keep leaving the house without telling me what you're doing or even telling me that you're doing. I'm not saying you have to ask to leave the house but at least tell me that you're leaving. "

" I'm sorry won't happen again. I love you, don't ever forget that. Okay? "

" I know you do, I just worry sometime, I love you. "

I didn't know what to do with Laurel, she was worrying about me, I have no idea what she thinks I'm doing. Knowing her she's probably thinking the worse.
