Chapter 9: Her side job

  Erratum didn't know what he was thinking when he decided to go on a midnight walk when the kids were sleeping. He looked up at the moon 'It's a peaceful night out at least' He thought as he passed the alley near his apartment, to hear screams" Shut up!" A familiar voice said.

   Erratum looked over to see a woman with familiar brown hair and purple fade" MeonJi?" He said as she quickly killed off the man screaming" Oh!" She looked over to look at Erratum 'Her eyes are red?' He thought as he looked at her directly in the eye, they were a pure red, like the red fade that were in her eyes had overflowed the green.

   She looked at Erratum" Why are you here?" She said" TakInG A waLk" Erratum Said as he approached her. She looks too relaxed in this situation, like she isn't scared that her lifer could fall apart right now" Would you tell anybody about this?" She said as Erratum crouched down in front of the dead man. The kill itself is clean, a slit of the throat" nO" He said as she sighed a little out of relief" Let's walk yea?".

   The walk around the block was nothing short but peaceful as he asked her about her side-job, as she put it" I'm just a part time assassin you could say, I control my own hours and work in my own hours, the only thing I have are deadlines my clients set for me. My usual clients are sleazy businessmen or big corporations that want to topple rivaling ones'' She said" I don't kill kids though, I also do background checks on people to see if they are worth it, the money they pay me are pretty good" She said" CorPorAtiON?" He said" They are like big buildings that hold working people and are usually pretty well-known" She said'' oH, dO yOu gEt TiReD WorKiNG lIkE THat?" He said'' Not really, it's my choice after all, if I do get tired then I take a break, it's not a big deal" She said" Better than selling my body" She shivered" WhaT dO MeAn bY SelLiNg YouR bOdY?" He said'' Basically, it's almost like people pay you to do things with your body, sometimes it's against your will" She said as she nodded" whAt up wiTh YouR eyEs?" He said" Oh, them? It just happens whenever I have too much bloodlust, killed about 6 today" She said" WhY aRe ThEre HardLy PeoPLe OuT hEre?" He said" Well, for one, I am pretty well-known around here, so aside from you, other criminals and people who are either drunk or don't know what happens around here walk at night and 2, it's midnight".

  They stopped at the front of their apartment" Well, we're here, promise me you won't tell anyone about this job of mine" She said as he nodded and promised her that he wouldn't tattle on her. When he went into his apartment, He just sighed and went back to his sewing. Seems like he got more than he bargained for tonight.
