"They have to have tons."

"Obviously."

"They're most likely out or asleep."

"Knowing who they are, they'll most likely be out Lucile."

"Keep looking then."

Mark was a light sleeper. He kept hearing murmers in his sleep and unclosed his eyes.

It obviously wasn't Jack there was two voices, one deep and the other femine and young. Mark loaded his pistol and creaked open his bedroom door.

Mark saw one figure. It was a child. She had her back turned and was searching around.

Mark aimed downward and fired. The bullet nearly shot her heel. She jumped far back.

"Ryan!" She shouted. (Aka Cryaotic)

Jack woke up to the sound of a bang. When he swung open his door a man bumped into him. Jack slammed and pinned him to the wall.

Mark!" Jack called out.

Mark rushed upstairs holding the girls wrist tightly and threw her on the ground.

"Who the hell are you?" Mark scolded.
"Who says its your business to know." The girl had an attitude.

"Why surprised? We're doing the same thing you two do for a living." Ryan's mask cracked from the force from the wall.

"Robbing the robbers." The girl smiled.

"These two are pathetic. I don't wanna hear it Jack. We're killing them."

"You actually would shoot a fourteen year old?"

"I'd don't give a dam about your age. Whatevers in my way or pisses me off gets a bullet to the face."

Mark aimed the pistol at her forehead.

"Lets just beat the shite out of them and toss them out Mark." Jack let Ryan fall and walked over to Mark.

"You shouldn't had let your guard down." The girl raised a dagger to Jack's neck.

"I saw this lying around. You should keep this in a safe place."

"Shoot me. Go on."

Mark held his pistol up ready to shoot.

Jack grabbed the dagger by the metal part with his right hand. Blood trickled down the weapon and onto the floor.

"What an idiotic thing to do." The girl kept the dagger raised to his neck.

Jack ripped it free from her hand and stabbed her shoulder.

She was wide eyed and couldn't feel her body. She leaned against the wall to support herself.

Ryan kicked Jack in the chest making him tumble. Jack grabbed Ryan's collar and slammed him against the wall.

"Get out now...." Jack threatened.

Ryan kept silent and carried Lucile oit the door. Before he closed he said:

"Don't think we'll never meet again." And left.

"Your hand." Mark held it carefully.

Jack held Mark's shoulder with his good hand to support his balance. Mark examined how deep the cut was. It was halfway deep. It would take a while to heal.

Mark soaked a cloth with water dabbing it. He then wrapped gauze around it gently.

"There."

"Thanks." Jack mumbled.

"I've never even seen you close to killing someone before." Mark was slightly impressed.

"I had no other choice."

"You see why I said to kill them?"

"Don't care."
