"So the Black Reaper made her run, huh?" Huang asked.
"Yep, did the same thing last night as well," Mao replied. "I hope he doesn't take it too far. I learned that she has Asperger syndrome. The Public Security Division had her file when she was found. Seems the only reason she came here was to go to school."
"Heh, sounds like something a kid her age would do."
Katelyn stirred some of her coffee as she was feeling light headed. She brushed her forehead as she felt some sweat and exhaled a cold, shaky breath. Her cheeks were red and her vision started to blur. A knock was heard on her door and she set her coffee down then slowly got up from the small table to go answer it. Once she was there, she put her grip onto the doorknob and twisted it slowly before opening to see her neighbor, Kyoko.
The woman was smiling before she frowned. "Katelyn, are you okay?"
The teen could barely answer as she started breathing heavily and sweating badly. "I think... I need... to see... a doctor..." She fell to her knees and started panting.
Kyoko knelt by her side in alarm. "Do you want me to take you?"
Katelyn nodded and was picked up to be lead to the hospital. Her legs began to grow weak as they went further down to the city, her vision getting blurrier with every step she took. It wasn't long until they came across a man who looked to be in his early forties in a dress suit. His sandy blonde hair matched his slightly tanned skin, and he walked around with a cane.
"Good morning, ladies," he greeted, his voice having a British accent. "What seems to be the matter here?"
"This girl needs a doctor," Kyoko said worriedly. "She was kidnapped two days ago, and they did something to her, but I don't know what!"
The man looked down at the sweating, exhausted teen and saw how weak she looked. "Well, she can't get there with just one person, can ya, lass?" Katelyn was unable to answer as she could barely hear anything that was going on at the moment. Seeing this, he walked over to them, grabbed her arm and put it over his shoulder, the hand with the cane resting onto her back. "C'mon, lass, let's get you to the doctor."
Kyoko touched Katelyn's forehead and felt how hot it was. "Oh, god, she has a fever. We have to hurry."
Matsumoto was just walking out of the hospital when he spotted the exhausted teen being carried by two people, her cheeks red and beads of sweat running down her forehead.
"What happened to her?" he asked them in alarm. "Is something wrong?"
"She needs help, please get a doctor!"
Nurses started scurrying toward the teen as she finally went limp and passed out onto the floor. Matsumoto was shocked at the sight, he didn't know if the contractors blood was already taking effect in her system, but he could only pray that it wasn't the case.
From outside, a small puddle of water was out on the streets near the hospital and Yins specter watched as one of the doctors picked Katelyn's limp body up and took her to the emergency room. Yin was only slightly concerned for the girl, considering that she was a doll and that she couldn't feel any kind of emotion.
"How's she doing, Yin?" Hei asked.
"Not well," she replied. "It looks as if the contractors blood is taking effect in her system, and now she's back at the hospital."
"Doesn't look like whichever contractor gave her their blood was a very pleasant person," Mao commented. "If anything, it could possibly fail and she'll just die on the spot. That would mean that they went through all that trouble for nothing."
"Don't be too sure," Huang warned. "It may look like it's taking effect, but nothing's happened yet, so we can't act now. Oh, and Hei try not to freak her out so much. She's one of those specials needs kids."
"Which type of need?"
"Asperger Syndrome. That means she could break into a serious meltdown if you get too close to her at night."
Kirihara walked inside the hospital and approached Matsumoto. "How is she doing?"
"Doctor says that she has a fever and may have passed out from heat exhaustion, but other than that she should be fine later on."
"Do you think it could be the contractors blood in her veins?"
"I certainly hope not, but right now all we can do is wait and see if their little 'experiment' was successful."
At midnight, Hei watched over the girls sleeping form in the hospital bed. He reached out his hand and lightly brushed a stray hair away from her face.
"Getting touchy, aren't we?" Mao whispered I amusement.
Hei flinched and pulled his hand back quickly. "I was just trying to feel her forehead."
"You may be a good liar, Hei, but not this time..."
"Just shut up..."
They both flinched as the woman stirred in her sleep, but didn't wake up. Both were relieved at this, but then they noticed that she started to sweat once again. Hei brought his hand to her forehead this time and felt how hot she was.
"Looks like her fever's getting worse."
"Let's not worry about that, Hei. We better get going before she decides to wake up and catch us here. After all, she's scared of you the most."
Hei grunted in annoyance before he jumped out the open window.
In the morning, Katelyn woke up to find herself in the hospital once again. She groaned in frustration and rubbed the sleep in her eyes.
"Just fucking great," she grunted. "I'm back at the hospital... This is so not how I wanted my trip to be like."
A nurse came to her door and opened it, making the teen jump in her bed.
"What the fuck!"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were awake," the stunned nurse said.
"There's a thing called knocking you know." Katelyn sat up in the hospital and the nurse came to her with a clipboard.
"How are you feeling, Miss Mier?"
"I have a bit of a headache, but other than that I feel fine."
"That's good. The doctor would like to come in and give you a few check-ups later on, is that alright?"
"It's fine."
The nurse nodded before she wrote something down on her clipboard and left the teen alone. Katelyn looked out her window and saw a black cat with a bell around its neck outside. As she looked down at it, Saitou came in with a small smile.
"Hey, Katelyn, how ya doin'?" he asked.
Katelyn smiled back. "I have a headache, but other than that I'm doing alright."
"That's good." He took a seat in a chair that wasn't too close to the bed. "What happened to you yesterday?"
"I was... feeling weak and I needed a doctor. My neighbor and some other person helped me get to the hospital, but once we got here, I passed out."
Saitou looked at her in concern. "You said another person helped you. Do you remember who it is? Know who it is?"
Katelyn shook her head. "He never told us his name, but he had a British accent and he looked to be about in his forties. Other than that, he's not someone I would know."
Saitou nodded. "That's all I need to know."
The doctor came in with some tools and gave Saitou a stern look. "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave. Miss Mier needs to be looked over, but she should be free to go once we're done."
Saitou nodded and got up. "See ya around, kid."
Katelyn waved to him before she turned to the doctor.
"Ready?"
She nodded.
At night, Katelyn was walking down the streets of the city when she heard a young girl screaming in an alley. Without thinking, she ran to the alley to see what was going on, and she caught sight of a man trying to take her shirt off. Out of instinct, she pulled out her pocket knife and ran over to stab his thigh. The man howled in pain and she kicked him away from the girl.
"You ok?" she asked turning to the younger girl behind her.
The girl, who looked to be about fourteen, nodded and hid behind the eighteen year-old in fear of the man.
"What fuck was that for, you bitch?" the man hissed.
"The fuck's up with you, asshole!" Katelyn shouted back. "You're the one trying to molest a girl here! I can easily call the cops!"
The man brought his gun and pointed it at the girls, making them flinch in fear.
"I can easily blow your fucking head off if you don't stay the fuck outta this!"
Katelyn gave him a hateful glare and her pupils became red and her body started glowing.
the man with the gun was stunned at the sight and he felt like he wasn't himself. The girl behind her was shocked.
"Put the gun in your mouth," Katelyn demanded. "Then pull the trigger."
The man seemed like he was hypnotized as he brought the gun to his mouth and shot himself. Once Katelyn stopped glowing, her eyes widened in shock at what happened. He actually listened to her? It didn't matter at the moment as she turned her attention to the frightened teen.
"Call the cops..."
The girl nodded and pulled out her phone and dialed 911.
The Security Division soon came by as an ambulance had come to see if the girl Katelyn saved was hurt. Kirihara approached the frightened young woman.
"Katelyn, what happened?" she asked.
"I-I don't know!" Katelyn replied urgently. "I was walking down the streets and I heard that girl screaming. I ran to the alley and saw that sick fuck trying to take her shirt off, and I just wanted to help her so I stabbed him with my knife. Then he had a gun on us and I told him to shoot himself and... He actually listened to me!"
Kirihara grabbed her face. "Katelyn, calm down!" She soon froze as she saw the womans pupils turn red and stared in shock. Katelyn was on the brink of tears before she ran away back to her apartment. Saitou came up to the chief in confusion.
"Chief, what's wrong?" he asked.
Kirihara stared after her sadly. "She's a contractor now..."
Katelyn had continued running until she bumped into the Black Reaper, who grabbed her arm and made her look at him. Her eyes widened in fear as she struggled to get out of his strong grip.
"Let me go!"
He soon loosened his grip and she was free from his grasp and ran to her door, unlocked it, and then slammed it shut once she was inside. She threw her sweater on the floor and stared backing into the living room wall before her tears fell and she slid down to burry her face in her knees. Never had she thought of ever killing a man! Good god, she just became a murderer!
"Looks like their little experiment was a success," Mao said as he watched the woman sleep.
"Now that she's a new contractor, we're gonna have to a better eye out for her," Huang said on the other line. "What's she doin' now?"
"She's getting up and going to the living room. There's a case containing small doses of heroin, she doesn't know that yet, but she will when she sees it. I'm guessing that's supposed to be her payment."
Katelyn opened the case to find heroin in small needles. She grabbed one and uncapped it before pointing the needle at her left wrist. Right when it was about to touch her, she stopped and blinked in realization.
"What?"
"Mao, what's going on?" Hei asked.
"She was just about to take her payment, but then she just stopped herself."
Katelyn brought her hands back and wondered what on earth she was doing with a dangerous drug. Was she just about to drug herself? She put the cap back on and put with the rest of the drugs and closed the case. Once that was done, she grabbed the case, walked over to the window, opened that, and then threw it out the window. As the case made a huge mess, Katelyn paid no attention to it as she closed the door. She didn't even notice that it had started raining until she heard thunder storms, but she didn't care. She just went back to bed.
Mao stared in shock. "Unbelievable. She didn't pay her price."
"What?" Huang said. "That's impossible! No contractor can do that!"
"Maybe not every contractor, but apparently this one can."
