I walked Violet down to a worse part of the undercity , well it seemed that ways anyways, not to mention it seemed everyone shyied away from the light and seemed to stay away from us or they are scared of an enforcer

Violet had passed out on our way down here she had lost quite a bit blood, so not surprisingly she passed out yes worryingly she did but not surprisingly, that women had got her quite well

A stab to the hip a deep one too if I hadn't gotten there Violet would've bled out or have been killed in such a way that makes some death look like an art it seemed

I dreaded the thought while it's true I do need Violet to crack this "great conspiracy" which I had been right about.. so far and Silco appears to running the whole operation, I do care for her despite it all and would prefer it if she hadn't died and perhaps being a good friend in the future

Though she seems hung up on a powder as that's the name she keeps mumbling while unconscious.. I wonder who powder is - a friend? Sister? Mother? I don't know I'll ask later when she's more capable of that

I brought her to a place that seemed to be abandoned and had a water tower and laid her down against the wall making sure it was safe

Me: you'll.. be safe.. promise

I heard a very faint "thank you" though I don't know whether it was I or not she thanking but I'll take it as I won't get the answer if it's taught me anything about my dealings with Violet

I began leaving in search of help going about the place not really knowing why it was soo.. desolate? Abandoned? Poor? Deserted? I don't know how to describe this place, but it was no place a person should live but I passed several people in this space

Shying away from the light, under their tattered cloaks, growing this weird purple substance.. maybe a mutation?.. due to shimmer perhaps this is what happens to people who continuously use shimmer

???: you came in with—

I screamed and went to hurt the guy before I stopped and pulled out my gun after putting him to the ground and backing up a little and aiming it at him ready to shoot one of my last bullets

Me: Who are you?!

I was a little irritated and agitated but only because he had jumped and sneak on me he could be dangerous one of Servi..kas.. then again maybe not

???: IMA FRIEND OF VI

Vi? Must be the nickname she goes around with down here does sound like her though, I quickly lowered my weapon and put it back and helped the.. now slightly injured civilian

???: I saw you come in with Vi?! us she okay? Was she hurt? What happened?

He was extremely concerned with her well-being he's probably close to her family or something or perhaps even a good friend of hers that I don't know of

Me: she's injured, I was going to see if there was doctor nearby or something

He nodded and quickly replied with the answer I was so desperately hoping for

???: yea there is one I know where they are, if you'll come that is

I nodded quickly not really needing to think about this as it wasn't too difficult of a choice

???: alright follow me then

We went in silence, and quite quickly being swift was the goal anyhow to reach a doctor and back in time for Vio— Vi to be fine and well
