Death toll

Mia parked her bike outside of a old run down looking bar let out a sigh well old friend it’s just you and me tonight. She says to her self as she takes off her helmet and walks inside the bar. It felt like home after a long day, Mia headed towards the bar where an older rough weathered woman stood . “ look what the cat dragged in” I thought I would never see you around these parts again little one. Mia smiled I miss you too Rosie . When Mia’s parents passed away Aunt Rosie took her in and loved her like her own. Mia sits on an old cheeky bar stool so what will it be the Rosie asks? Whisky plan Mia replies. Rosie eyes soften what’s wrong dear ? Mia knows better than to lie to the old lady so she sighs again as she tells her that her husband cheated and her and she was later off of her job. She had no more ties to California so she came back home to Ohio. Well I am glad you are here little one Rosie reply’s as she slides the glass over to Mia and the key to the upstairs apartment above the bar. Thank you Rosie, Mia says to her aunt . Rosie smiles you look hungry let me fix something up she walks towards the kitchen, and as Mia takes a sip of her drink the doors burst open and a tall alien walked in and took her helmet of and walked up to the bar she was breath taking her crimsion skin drenched in sweat . She sat down feeling the weight of her current mission she had just finished. Mia finished her drink and walked behind the bar since her aunt was busy in the kitchen. “How can I help you she asked the alien” a shot of brimstone she replied . Mia nodded and started to fix her drink, so what brings you here Mia asks? The alien looks at her and smiles finished a job and I need a place to lay low for a bet I figured getting wasted at a bar on earth fits the bill. She looks Mia up and down and smirks and a gorgeous whence is just a bonus. Mia taken off guard of her statement . Sorry but I am no whence I’m just helping my aunt just then Rosie walks through the swing door and puts bowls of hot chili out and looks at the new comer . You look hungry , she says to the alien come fill your belly with something more filling. The alien smiles thank you . The food feels good after her last mission escorting a galactic ambassador to their destination. Just as Scarlet was going to Oder another shot a notification came up over her comms about another job. It was for a kidnapping of a child , the details went on to explain that she was a child of a rich family and the talons a rival merch company. Of course it had to be those idiots she thought to her self. See continues to read the finer details it was a two person company rescue and the second had to be human. She huffed great she would not only have to rescue a kid but would have to babysit a human as well she thought humans were fragile with their thin skin. She was thinking over the details when she overheard heard Mia telling the older woman about her scumbag husband firing her and leaving her for his assistant . A idea crossed her mind, she looked over to the girl to see what she was working with. Mia was a beauty that was for sure she was tall and was in fairly good shape . With ice blue eyes , sun kissed skin and long wavy brown hair. Well if anything thing she would have something good to look at Scarlet thou to herself. “ hmmm, scarlet coughed trying to get the girls attention, sorry to interrupt but I over heard your conversation and it so happens the contract I have been assigned to requires that I have a human partner. And you are the only human around so what do you say It pays and it seems like a simple job? Mia looked at her Thinking about it , she knew she needed to do something and it’s not like she had anything better to do besides tend to the bar. Sure, she replies when do we start? Early tomorrow morning Scarlet answers . Scarlet asks the older lady to rent the other spare room upstairs she handed her 50 dollars and turned to Mia don’t be late I hate waiting. Then she went upstairs to her room for the night. She stripped her worn armor off as she started the shower water letting it warm up. She hung her firearms on the coat rack and she stepped inside letting the hot water soak into her aching muscles she washed every inch of her blood covered skin. When she was done she dried off horns and all. Then she fell onto the bed and fell asleep.
