As Rachel attempts to regain her balance, Zen grabbes the collar of her shirt to make sure she doesn't fall. "Let's get one thing clear. If you think a fall off a building is gonna kill me, you're wrong. And second, if you're threatening my life, why should I trust Rachel's life in your hands? I've got guys coming after, and I don't know who they are. So, you could be one of them. Show me I can trust you, and maybe I'll let Rachel decide whether we should come with you." *NM looks at Zen coldly.* I don't know how to give you proof... This will have to do... *NM pulls out his .45, and Zen gets ready to run. However, in one swift motion, NM leans over the railing and fires. The bullet hits the landing next to Yuwara's foot. NM speaks to Zen, still pointing the gun at Yuwara.* He just might be one of those "bad men". But, he moves too loudly. He's no assasin, just some grunt. Now, it's your choice. You can either come with me, or get strangled from behind in the dark. As I said, the choice his yours. *NM tosses his gun at Zen's feet, only moving his arm. His eyes stay fixated on Yuwara.* If you follow me, I'll lead the way the whole time. If I do something that you don't like, then shoot me. If you want me to remove all of the weapons I have on me, I will do so. You just have to trust me.

*Yuwara gives an Alex grin (Alex being from A Clockwork Orange), a smirk so strange to have crossed the face of a man who almost got his foot shot.*
Seems I was getting a bit hasty, I see. I'm not going to waste my luck to you targets, o my brothers.
*Yuwara walks backwards and jumps off the rail, backwards, keeping his eye on the group of persons. He lands in a full garabge bin. He gets out and starts walking out of the alley, and dissappears within the crowd.*
*Too hasty I was. But something is peculear about that certain bunch. Powers, yes, and more aware than I thought. Seems that these prey are more difficult than I suspected, but no matter nowm, I have job t odo tomorrow night. He shrugged his shoulders and laughed it off. Walking home to his apartment, thinking over his plans again, and ignoring the fact he keeps seeing that man shooting shooting at him, but Yuwara knows its only his trick, but his constant brooding seems to have channeled his hallucination to someone elses head, and that person was running away, screaming at that vision, thinking its real, but Yuwara took no notice.*

Zen hears the unseen person running off, and turns towards NM.
"Alright, NM, I'll go with you, on one condition."
Zen draws both of his .50 pistols and points them at NM.
"Just answer this one question for me. Depending on how you answer, I'll decide whether or not I trust you."
"So you better get it right."
"Shut up Rachel."
Rachel pouts, crosses her arms, and looks away.
"So, here it is. What's my real name?"

*A smile peaks at the corners of NM's mouth. The smile continues to grow, until NM starts to laugh softly. Zen looks at him inquisitively.* The answer is... well... I really don't know. In fact, I didn't know you had the girl until two days ago. The one I'm trying to help is her, not you. But, considering that you're now with her, and she's following you, that means I have to try and help you, too...

*Yuwara gets to his apartment, and starts to watch his tv show, the one he got home just in time to watch. He smiled, but he got a phone call during the first minutes.*
"Y'ello?"
"It's me."
"Ah, making sure the plans worked out? Don't worry, my mind has it memorized, everything will work out as you wanted."
"Forget that, I have a more important job for you."
Yuwara (thinking): What was that?
"What then? I don't just keep doing things to be told not to do them. ~sigh~ What is it?"
"I got information today, some interesting information, exquistie, in fact. For there seems to be a friend of mine who has been hunting down a girl, a special girl indeed. This friend of mine sent some, you know, "grunt" men to get this girl, but it seems a man, calling himself Zen, is protecting her or she is mearly following him. But, anyway, most grunts were found dead in an apartment, some got out of it with major injuries and are currently unconscience. He was a fitfull rage when he called me and asked if I know anybody who can do the job. Since you're current cleaner, or say that I'm your current client, I give the chance of this job to you. Do you accept?"
"I can't clarify that. Are you sure getting this girl is all I need to do?"
Yuwara (thinking): Those people, it must've been, but they are no normal people. Why should I go through with this?
"Do you always lose trust in your clients?
"No."
"Then, you have to get the girl, but also find information on Zen, if possible keep him alive for us to see him."
"And what if there are others?"
"If info on them is attainable, the nyou are asked to gather that too."
"Such a lengthy mission I see that I have been given. I accept."
"Then your reward will be greatly honored."
*click of the line is heard, and they are disconnected*
*That was peculiar with that call. I heard what was the sound of talking and a low siren, but only for moment. But this haunts me, yet doesn't bother me. I reconize it's distinction, like the client's voice. But I must rest, for the long day ahead.*
*Yuwara gets ready and rests for the day.*

ooc: uh, i think this is just kinda in a "Metropolis" or "Gotham City" sort of setting. I didn't really say where it is. Let's just say it's east coast somewhere. but, i can't really give an exact location.
ic:
Zen stood there, speachless, just staring. Rachel kept looking at Zen, then back at NM.
"Wrong answer, wierdo. Guess we won't be coming with you. Now Zen get's to kick your bu--"
"Shut up Rachel, we're going with him."
Rachel looked at Zen, confused to say the least.
"Wait, he didn't know the answer, right?"
"Right, so we're going with him. I'll explain it some other time. So, where to Nowhere Man?"

*Yuwara gets up from his bed 5 minutes later*
"Damn, I took a nap earlier today, I can't go to sleep!"
*He looks out the window and the afternoon sun still shines.*
"They probably left by now."
*he gets up, and dressed, he goes out into the city in search of sometihng to do. He stops at a local Japanese resturant and decides to have his evening meal there.*

*Leon sat on the roof top,watch the figures that stood at the top of the fire escape. He countinued to watch with interest,seeing how another person was watching a while back. He countinued sitting there,his new motorcycle waiting at the bottom of the building*
This is odd. He fired at that one guy. I hope this isnt anything bad

*Sitting next to the window, Yuwara gets his fair share of California rolls start his dining. He gazes out the window, at the street full of bussle. He looks at the buildings, their size making it hard to see their tips. He, then, had the rooftop he saw earlier. He sees the two groups he noticed earlier walking on the roof, leaving that roof, and being followed by a mysterous new character.*
Well, well, well, well. It seems by chance they're still here. Nothing as to spoil this good meal, but I shall see how things turn out.
OOC:Also, for those who are confused, I'm ahead of ya'll. So I'm only predicting the future, if my prediction is wrong, I'll change it.

"Wait, he didn't know the answer, right?" "Right, so we're going with him. I'll explain it some other time. So, where to Nowhere Man?" There's an abandoned apartment building not far from here, where I've temporarily set up shop. Depending on who we're dealing with, it may not be the safest place, but it is one of the easiest to get out of. If you still want to come, follow me. You can leave at any time, but if you do, I'll have to hunt you down before the girl falls into bad hands. *NM takes off, up the fire escape, to the roof of the building.* If you're coming, try to keep up.

OOC: Go with New York city for the current setting. It works out best. ooc: that works. ic: Zen bends down and looks at Rachel, who stands behind him. "Get on." Rachel climbs onto his back, and puts her arms around his neck. "I still don't like that wierdo." "Too bad, you'll have to deal with him til we figure out what the hell is going on here. Now hold on tight." Zen stands up, and takes off after NM. "So, now that we're officially in this together, mind telling me what you know about who is after Rachel?"

"So, now that we're officially in this together, mind telling me what you know about who is after Rachel?" *NM doesn't bother to stop or even look back as he runs across the roof tops.* Not all that much... which is unusual for me. I was originally hired to kill Rachel. But, once I got the information on her, I became curious. Delving a little deeper, I found that she and I may just have a few things in common... Things that I want to keep her away from. *NM drops that topic, but still continues to strive forward.* The payment and information was all done by 3rd parties. I usually don't take targets in that fashion, but once I saw my target, I accepted. Whoever it is, though, they want the girl bad. She's obviously something that they're trying to cover-up... *NM stops talking for a few seconds as he jumps across roof gaps.* We're almost there...
