Roxy's Heart (part 3/?)

Roxy hadn't slept since the day before, her thoughts wouldn't allow her a moments peace. Whether it be the assassin, or Daviin's crimes, which he had told her about. His mother owned a shop up until she died a couple years ago, and she owed some money to her 'security', so Daviin did what he had to, to help his mother. Roxy trusted this man, for some reason, she felt that she didn't need her guard up around him, not all the way at least, she was still weary, but years of mental, physical, and emotional abuse made her that way. 

Now the assassin, she felt bad for leaving him there, she knew he would be robbed, possibly killed. She couldn't help but feel guilty, and even after he'd tried to kill her, twice, she still felt curious about the man. What brought him to such a life? Shaking her head in attempt to scatter the thoughts, she stared at the ceiling. She didn't know what it was but, but for some reason Roxy felt...off.

Knowing sleep would never come, Roxy stood and made herself a quick breakfast of cut up fruits with powdered sugar. After eating, she left to get a Caf, maybe Daviin would meet up with her. 

She was halfway through the door when her comm link beeped, "Roxy here." She answered, "Hey, you tried calling last night, or earlier this morning?" Rex said, sounding groggy, "Yeah, uh, I was just lonely, but I also wanted to tell you that I broke up a brawl in a bar!" She lied, partly. "That's my girl, did you kick his ass?" "I punched her once and she was out. Sometimes I forget that we're stronger than the average person." She laughed, "Hah, yeah, so have you met anyone else?" He asked, "Uh, yeah, a travelling marketsman, Daviin. He's pretty nice." She replied.

"Alright, well I have to get to my duties, I'll call you later, yeah?" "Yeah, I miss you." "Miss you too, vod'ika." 

She sighed, and began her walk to the market stalls to get some Caf with Daviin, she kept her eyes open for the assassin, she had become a bit paranoid knowing he was around, and the fact that she has left him in the streets this time probably didn't seem very nice, at least the first time she knocked him unconscious she rented him a motel room, for all she knew he could be robbed or dead, maybe. 

Roxy reached the fruit stand that Daviin owned, and she smiled when she saw him. She walked up and greeted him, "Morning Roxy!" he greeted back enthusiastically. "You wanna go get some Caf?" She asked, he seemed to be contemplating for a moment, "Sure! I know a great place." he said, putting a 'closed' sign on his stall and locking his safe box.

"So, did you get any sleep last night?" asked Daviin, "Uh, not really no. That's why I need the Caf." She explained. "Ah, can I ask what kept you awake?" 

"Honestly, it was mostly because of what that assassin said, and I couldn't help but feel bad that we left him laying there." She confessed, "He deserved it! Either one of us could have been killed if we had taken him somewhere." said Daviin. Roxy nodded, still feeling bad. 

Realizing there were less people, Roxy looked around to see they were in a bad part of town, "Where are we?" She asked, "Shit, I must have taken a wrong turn, hold on." He said taking out his mini data-pad. As Daviin was looking at directions, Roxy heard a sound, it was shouting and cheering, then electric type sounds, and screaming. Her heart racing, she quickly glanced around, and started moving towards the sounds, trusting her ears and instincts. 

Daviin looked up and saw Roxy walking away from him. 'What the-"

"Daviin, do you hear that?" She asked, "Yeah, it's probably some gang, we don't wanna be over here, trust me." he explained, "No, I hear someone screaming, in pain. I have to help." She shook her head and took off running down an alley way, and turned until she knew she was close to the source of the pained screams.
