"I got eyes on the hostage!" say's a middle aged black man who's perched on top of a building holding a modified SAKO TRG 42 with a 28 inch barrel in his hand. overlooking the hostage situation from half a mile away through the lens of his scope.

"Copy that!" says a random operative speaking through his earpiece

The hostage in question is a lycoris, lycoris who happened to be teenaged orphaned girls raised as spies and assassins for the sole purpose of keeping the peace of Japan in secret from terrorists. Gun dealers and anyone that would threaten the safety of it's people.

And as luck would have it there happens to be a deal going on today in an abandoned building, an exchange of guns for cash. Unluckily for them lycoris have been tipped off about the gun deal going on today by a random informant.

But today happens to be a bad one, what was supposed to be a gun trade for one side and the other. a simple job of getting rid of a threat to their country, became a hostage situation.

Gun fire was sent throughout the room from the opposing gun dealers, keeping the lycoris agents pin down on opposite sides of the room.

"Mika, Is chisato there yet?" Came the voice from his ear piece.

"She should be here soon, but a lycoris is in danger."

Through the lens of his scope he sees a Ginger lycoris being held at gun point by who he assumes to be the one in charge of supplying the guns. with three lackeys by his side two holding AK 47s and one with a standard AR-15.

"What's your call? Open fire?" Mika asked for orders.

"No, i would like to catch the dealer. We will wait for chisato"

He turned his scope a little to the right to see some lycoris agents being pin down, three of which have different colored uniforms compared to the one in red. Which are used to symbolize rank, red being the highest rank and blue falling behind red, blue being the color the lycoris hostage is wearing.

"Headquarters, this is alpha 1, we can do this! Please give us permission to open fire."

"Com------! Head--------!"

Over at headquarters they're busy with their own problem.

"System intruder!"

"Radiata going down!"

On the big screen that they use for operations, which was only ever used to display maps,building plans and to know where every single lycoris operatives are at during operations.

But now it's been replaced by the logo of a chipmunk, which happens to be the trademark for the hacker.

Every operator in headquarters were in a frenzy trying to either track the intruder or get the system back online.

But the Commander remaind in her seat with a static face.

with communications gone, the lycoris could only hear the barking of orders from the gun dealers.

"Hey, are you listening to me!?" Shouted out the leader. "You killed so many of us, ten seconds, come out of there or I'll kill this one!.

He gestures by repeatedly taping the back of her head with the tip of his gun.

Unable to come up with a plan to save their comrade and with no way of communication with headquarters for further orders, they are stuck with the one order they were giving. To catch the leader alive.

That is until one lycoris sees a pk machine gun and hatched her own plan.

With chisato running up the building of the guns deal through the fire escape, she yells in to her ear piece.

"Teach what floor was it!?".

"Sixth floor, hurry!".

"Sixth floor!?"

Chisato yells out in dread.

"9...8...7..." Counted down the leader.

"Don't mind me, shoot". ordered the lycoris hostage.

"-Fuki" asked one blonde lycoris to her Superior in red for orders on whether or not to save their friend.

-"Six... five... four... three..."

"Our order was to stand by". Replied the leader with her eyes closed

"But erika will"-

She didn't get to finish her distaste of not being able to save her friend as they both see a purpled hair lycoris shoulder mount a machine gun.

"-Two...one..."

-"Takina!" yelled out both lycoris agents in an attempt to stop her, but it fell on death's ear.

With the teach overlooking the building through his scope, he sees a lycoris spray the room with lead. While gasping in shock.

Bullets go flying in the room as glass falls down into the road below and brass casings are ejected out the side to litter the floor.

Chisato just laughs as she hears the gun fire going off in the room a floor above.

As the gunfire dies down and the smoke clears, Takina takes the chance to walk in and examine the room and sees that it's littered with bullet holes on the walls and pillars.

She continuous walking with a static face and passes by all the dead gun dealers, and hostage who has her head in her hands.

"You" Fuki called over to Takina, "were you planning on killing Erika?".

"She's alive. isn't she?" Takina shot back with the same static expression.

Clearly Fuki didn't like that answer and angrily Walked over to her and threw a punch at her.

"It's over. Mizuki is heading over. Leave the area immediately".

"Roger that teach".

As he is about to descend he spots a black figure on a building a bit aways from him.

For the longest time he's been working with the lycoris. he never thought he would ever feel this primal emotion, even just a sliver of it.

He felt FEAR and UNEASE.

But a Crow flew by his face and landed near the edge he was at. effectively startling him and removing his line of sight from the figure.

He looks back just to see that it disappeared due to the crows intervention.

he felt more at ease knowing whoever or it was left. But the feeling of that primal emotion would linger with him a while longer.

He looks back at the Crow and sees it walking closer to him. As the generous and kind man he is, he pulls out a granola bar and tears off the rapping, wanting to share a piece with the Crow he slowly holds out the bar, wanting it to eat out of his hand.

The Crow looks on in curiosity to the strange gesture of the men, and walks closer to the bar in his hand, tilting its head in contemplation of whether or not to take the bar.

And in one swift motion the Crow takes it out of his hand and starts tearing at it, like it never ate before.

the man takes a bite of the bar himself in amusement from the Crows action.

Wanting to share a little more he holds out another piece for the Crow to take. It looks on in curiosity as it did before. But instead of the same action it lets out a caw at the men and flaps its wing flying off to wherever it desires to go.

He looks as the Crow disappears behind a building, promoting the man to leave as well.

Walking towards the door to the roof he opens and descends down the stairway, heading home to rest.
