Ganymede City, Temple District 2112 old Earth Calendar
Dirk:
Dirk sat in the shadows watching, Mother as been aloof since he showed her the picture of the girl. All attempts to contact her have failed, he was at a crossroads. Mother's instructions were to protect the girl, no matter the cost.
The girl vanished into thin air, the authorities have questioned the guard and he was placed under house arrest. It wasn't difficult to follow his quarry back to his abode. Now here from his rooftop vantage point everything became so unclear. He was to protect the girl, the girl vanished, the only way to protect her now was to eliminate the only person to witness her presence at the blast site.

A sonorous voice responded from the darkness within, "bless you child, how long has it been since your last confession?"
"Ah fuck! Can we stop with all this bullshit, you know I am Nia , and I know you're no fucking priest! I really need help here!"
There was a jovial chuckling coming from the other side of the panel, "okay Nia tell me what is going on?"
"Have you heard news about the explosion?"
"Yes, it was....unfortunate "
" I was there, I was just going to throw blood on that ghoul bitch..."
