"Hey, guess what? I saw the king today!" I heard a girl whisper to her friend.
"Really?!" Her friend excitedly replied.
"Yeah! And he's totally hot. Blonde sexy hair and gorgeous green eyes."
I sighed. I shouldn't be ease dropping. Ever since the government failed us, the world was taken over by the mafia. I happen to live in the new capital of the country: South Korea. Many have speculated on what the mafia king looks like, but no one has ever actually seen him. It gives him a sort of mysterious allure.
I personally don't keep up with all the gossip and news surrounding the mob rulers.
I walked away from the two girls and made my way to work. Even with the hustle and bustle of the city, I still managed to find peace and quiet. I still live on the city which is Seoul. It used to be the home to the wealthiest of people from Seoul, but now, only a few wealthy people live on the western side, closer to Central Park. My neighborhood isn't bad, but it's not good either. It was the first place I found that was within my price range, and I instantly fell in love with it. The walk was about a half hour to where I work, and it was calm and quiet enough to give the eerie aura of empty city streets. And I love it.
I walked into the skyscraper and pressed the 24th floor. I found my desk and took off my trench coat, letting my long bouncy brown curls fall around my body. I took a deep breath and started to work.
After a long day of scheduling and event planning, I finally ended my shift. My job is pretty simple. A big public relations firm wants someone to schedule and plan important events, and I do it. Not bad.
My boss asked me to finish up an event for the opening of a new casino, so I ended up staying late. What I didn't expect was it to be so late.
If I didn't head home soon, I could be in danger.
The mafia usually does most of the dirty work at night, and I really don't want to be caught up in that. I quickly grabbed everything I needed and headed out. 1
I pushed the doors open to find rain. Great. I forgot my umbrella today, and I really didn't want to walk home in the pouring weather. I checked my phone, and it said the weather will clear up in about half an hour, so I waited.
Once the weather cleared, I started to walk. I looked up to the sky to see pitch black. I really hope nothing bad happens.
The more steps I took, the more nervous I got. The eerie feeling of empty, quiet street gave me anxiety instead of tranquility. Unconsciously, I heard the sound of my heels hitting the sidewalk quicken. The faster I get home, the faster I'll be safe.
When I almost reached my apartment, I heard a groan. Huh?
It sounded again. This time I got a clear hint at where it was coming from. I slowly crept into the alley way. What am I doing? Curiosity killed the cat.
But then. I saw a woman sitting on the ground, her back against a wall. She looked hurt. I quickly ran over, and her eyes snapped to mine.
"Get out of here." She warned. She had gray ash hair and black doe eyes. I hate to admit it, but it's sort of attractive.
I ignored her. I noticed her hand on her stomach and blood around her fingers.
"You should be at a hospital." I stated, worryingly.
"No."
"This is serious. You could die." Is she crazy for not want to go to a hospital. Does she want to die?
"No. I'm not going to a hospital."
"Okay, but let me help you." I opened my bag and took out my first aid kit. I always have one just in case something like this happens or an animal is hurt or I get hurt. While I did this, she just stared at me confused.
I unbuttoned her shirt a little from the bottom and moved her hand away from the wound.
"This might hurt." I warned as I wiped the cut on her abdomen with a pad soaked in rubbing alcohol. She wasn't even fazed, like it didn't hurt what so ever. I added a huge bandaid type thing on top and cleaned up the materials.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to a hospital?" I asked again. All she did was stare at me. She looked into my eyes, just studying them while I gave her a confused look. After a long moment, I looked away and stood up. I really had to get home.
"I don't need a hospital. You should go home. It isn't safe." She finally replied. I nodded. It's her choice I guess. I started to walk, and she got up and walked behind me.
After about a block, I didn't hear any footsteps. I guess she went the other direction. I finally made it into the elevator and hit the 18th floor.
My boss made me stay late again. Doesn't he know I should be at home right now? I sighed, knowing my thoughts are pointless.
I walked out of the building, luckily no rain. I was halfway to my apartment when what I feared most happened. It all happened so fast I couldn't comprehend what happened until some men started chasing me.
I looked down an alley way and saw a man being pointed at with a gun held by another man. Then, a gun shot rang in my ears. The men who were left alive glanced my way, and I ran.
I wasn't quick enough. They caught me. Before I had time to react, the man who held me, hit my head with something metal, and I slowly succumbed to darkness.
