Everyone had taken countless photos since they entered that organization, but she was one of the people who treasured them the most, and in this special case, this photograph was extremely important to her.
She stretched out his right hand very carefully before taking the portrait, she was able to blink gently and slowly to put it on the furniture. But he was face down, just like she left it every night to go out to work and so she closed the door leaving the room dark as she adjusted his gloves.
Silence.
Everyone watched her as she prepared with that ease. Shetook a pair of twin swords and put them in the sheath that was strapped to her shoulders, holding onto her back. Then she took a pair of a silver revolvers that she left on the sides of each leg, her work started in ten minutes but she was very calm.
She turned one last to the mirror: leather pants, dark and close to the body, then what seemed to be a simple leather vest, without even something underneath, that belt that held her pants, the weapons, the fingerless gloves and, So, she decided that she was totally and ready to go out. She remembered that her reflection did not exist and a man simply approached and handed him a long black coat that would cover the evidence of her weapons.
- It's time- he informed so that she could only nod with a sigh, to quickly put on her coat as she started.
- Go for them, Xander

There was a very bright moon in Detroit. There was a scandal everywhere since it was Saturday, so people were getting drunk and making some riots around the neighborhood. Due to the violence in this area, no one was surprised every time a dead person was found, although lately the victims lost a lot of blood before being completely murdered.
It was so cold that the albino could barely tolerate it despite the mask on his face, covering his mouth and nose. The truth was that working on cold dates was not his greatest pleasure, but now he was very distracted on the roof of a warehouse while reading for the umpteenth time that book that he did not release for some reason in life. Thanks to the fact that it was night, his presence was not evident there and due to the special ability of that abnormal eye, he could read without any problem despite such darkness.
- It's going to be a lot of fun when you go blind- accused a blond while the steam was present to every word he said- How can you be so calm with this cold?- He wanted to know then.
- There is no better thing than to be distracted, Jose- snapped the other, before glancing at him with both eyes- Fox boy… can you tell where he is?
- Give it a few seconds- the blue-eyed asked, before putting a cigarette to his lips, taking a lighter from his pocket before lighting the tobacco, to take a deep drag- Do you like it?
- It seems they don't care to hide their presence- a female voice murmured then, sitting on the ground behind them, as they both reacted.
- When did you get here?- The blond questioned, surprised.
- You're the one who smells them and you didn't even notice their presence, huh? What a jerk- the elder scoffed, to which the girl smiled.
- Our grouping doesn't make much sense, after all, Xander- she reminded him, before standing up. You can see them for miles, he smells them, I can do both and I even feel them.
- Well, we face all kinds of enemies- the other commented, with a barely evident smile.
- Here it comes- she murmured, getting serious.
- Really?- The other asked before turning on his shoulder, so as not to see anyone and then turning to the front- I not…
- She's gone- the boy interrupted. He's about to turn the corner.
- Let go of me, damn it! - A woman yelled as a tall African American guy almost dragged her by the wrist.
- Shut your mouth- he growled, before pushing her against the warehouse wall. turning red pupils.
A shot.
The girl blinked twice before noticing that they had hit her right on the wrist of the hand with which he was holding her, she turned to look to her right and found a woman, turned her face to the left and looked at that hand shattered, even as the guy had remained motionless, while her face had some spots.
He began to shake without knowing what to do really, while the guy regained his stillness and opened his mouth again, hearing a somewhat savage growl that would make the prostitute scream with terror shortly before those animal fangs sharpened and the other hand shook it. take by the hair, placing it in front of the other woman, showing her how he would devour her right now.
The second shot hit the shoulder of the good arm so that the woman was released without any other remedy, so she ended up on the cold pavement, leaving her to crawl looking for a way out to what seemed to her was a real nightmare. He just looked stunned, the beast before his eyes and then the woman in black.
- Long- ordered that of the gun, so that the girl to just scrambled to get away and run, while the monster reacted both shots, head bowed, before lifting his face and let out a fierce growl-Shut your mouth- she shot.
- Fuck you in hell, you filthy bitch- then he lunged at her, with that tinkling red gaze, so she just fired another couple of shots.
When they realized the body was on the ground colder than before. One-shot right between the eyes and another in the chest, terribly piercing. She only put the weapon away before her two companions reached her, standing at her sides before looking at the subject's body, the albino then covered his eye with the band he was wearing.
- You seem more independent lately, Yuki- the man admired, to which the girl sighed wearily.
- Well, I've been training a long time- she admitted, as the blonde pulled out a phone and made a call- I'm sorry if you don't enjoy Xander so much, but I can't depend on you that much anymore.
- Of course not- he supported as he smiled once more- You've grown up, little one- he teased, putting a hand on her head.
- The cleaning crew is on the way- the blond reported. We can continue with the work, according to the locator we will find him in the next building, the other is selling drugs at a party, we will have to wait for him to come out.
- Then to continue - the girl answered, to give them a very calm smile before they turned their backs.
- Okay, it seems that this visit to Detroit won't last as long as the last one- the blond commented, very animated. Maybe we'll be early- They were hitting their way, taking just a couple of steps before a shadow rose behind them.
- Jose, are you hungry? - The girl asked, to which he sighed before shaking his head, wincing slightly.
- Go ahead, Alejandra has served a lot of dinners...
- Okay. Take advantage- she murmured, before turning around with a high kick that pushed the guy to the wall of the warehouse.
The grotesque figure emerged from the dust and debris, before noticing the girl walking so calmly, her eyes a radioactive shade of green now, shining like a pair of neon-style spotlights, her hands in her pockets.
- Demon- he accused, but she smiled.
- My friend is a demon- she began, before taking off his coat and dropping it, as he came dangerously close- But darling —the hue of his eyes was changing to a reddish one— I'm much worse.
- Yuki has been very hungry lately- Xavier commented while both gentlemen waited for her- Although taking into account that he does not drink much...
- Yuki doesn't drink human blood, that will wear her down- the older one replied.
- Stop talking about me like I'm not here- she complained, before taking his coat off the floor- Xavier, tell the cleaning service that they only have to see the reconstruction and the ashes.
- Whatever you say, Yuki- then he made another call.
