It's darker than I thought and cooler as well. But that doesn't really matter cause what does is that I find someone to kill. It's not like I haven't killed before I know what it feels like. Besides the men who killed Grandma Reagan are somewhere in this city. I found the note Grandpa Mason left telling me that they are here. He saw them, but doesn't have the strength to do it and nobody else will do what has to be done. My family would just shrug it off. Like it was no big deal but I nor Grandpa Mason can do that. Within ten minutes I look up and stop. On the side of a building is a symbol. To be exact it's one of Grandpa Mason's. He must be marking the way for me. I follow them and at random intervals they appear. Finally I get to the last symbol after about a forty five minute ride. Up ahead I see three bikes parked in front of a dome shaped building. I cut my engine and grab my weapons. I start walking up the steps to the front door. I open it and hear voices laughing, so I follow the sound. I walk up another staircase and open the door. The laughing stops and the three of them pick up their weapons.

"Well who is this pretty young thing?"; the one on the left said.

 "Well now are you lost my darling?", says the one on the right. 

"Yeah can we help you and maybe you can help us? You know it gets pretty lonely out here by ourselves. You know with nobody to keep us comfort at night.", says the middle one. 

I just crack a smile and lower my gun: "Well actually you can. Are any of you Sal or know where I can find him?" 

The middle one steps forward a bit "I'm Sal, baby girl." 

At that moment I throw knives at the other two and they fall down. I'm over by Sal before he has the chance to react. I kick him in the balls and push him to the ground. "Now you are going to pay for what you did to my grandmother. Bitch." I kick him again and drag him to a pillar by his hair. I make him stand and tie him to it. I put all my weapons, except my tactical knife, down.  "Look at you. You're afraid of a sixteen year old girl." I say chuckling a little, "How pathetic." Then I cut his knees. "See how this is going to work? I'm going to start from the bottom up. Until I cut your throat.", and I do just that. I cut off all of his toes, then work my way up his shins. Next I work on his knees and thighs, all the while he is screaming from the pain of it. I cut his balls off and show him. Then I throw them out of the broken window. Next I work on the torso making sure not to damage any of the organs. After, I start on his arms, cutting them up but taking care again not to hit anything vital. I cut his face up a bit, then I look him in the eyes. "This is what you deserve." I say, then I cut his throat from ear to ear. Whats left of his blood splatters everywhere. I just watch him bleed out for a few moments. His eyes were a deep green and filled with regret. I turn around and grab my things. I go to walk by the other two that I killed earlier to grab those knives as well. I cut the first ones throat from ear to ear to make sure he's dead. The second one was still barely alive and he put his hands up. I take the knife out of his chest and slit his throat as well. I leave and don't look back.

Once I get outside I'm able to breathe again. It's now dawn and the sun is rising. Looking up at the clouds I notice how beautiful they are. their colors are magnificent. It's amazing how they can go from white to pink and purple and orange and red. I wish humans were like that. Beautiful no matter what. I look down and over at my bike. There is a darkened figure there. I start towards it and realize it's Grandpa Mason. 

"Thank you kiddo. I just couldn't do that.", he says not bothering to turn around and look at me.

 "Don't go in there. It's not pretty." I say to him, putting my weapons back.

 "Are you coming back now?" I ask. 

He's quiet for a long time, "No. But you will see me again." 

And then Grandpa Mason gets on his bike and rides away.
