A Cruel Sport

['Project Zeta']

Our story begins in modern day Los Angles, outside a small pawn shop. There are a few tables around the entrance with worn, warped benches. At one of these tables, a lone wolf sits, watchin the sun rise. He seems to be waiting for someone, maybe a buisness proposal, maybe a 'job', maybe a simple meeting. But he just sits...and waits.

Kabe shifted in her seat sipping on some tea and reading her book. glancing over at the wolf she giggled and turned back to her book.

*The lone wolf looked at the young kitten, barely a passing glance. 'Keep your mind on your work,' He said to himself. 'There are more things at stake than attractive females.'

[Kabuki]

Kabe tapped her foot to the beat of her ipod and hummed along with it,glancing over at the wolf every few minutes. Still giggling and reading her book. "so why are you even here? i haven't seen you around here before. are you new?"

['Project Zeta']

*He again looked at the kitten and replying in a low voice* No. Ive been here before.

[Kabuki]

"hm. guess i just never noticed" Kabe smiled from ear to ear then faced her book again.

['Project Zeta']

*The wolf looks away, back to the sunrise. Suddenly, a small chime sound comes from his jacket pocket. He reaches in and pulls out a cell phone. He presses a button then raises it to his ear* Hello? Yes...this is he. What? What do you mean? *Suddenly stands up, the bench falling back onto the concrete* Do you have any idea what this will do to my work? I have a payment that still needs to be delivered and NOW you're telling me.....what?!? NO! How? *He raises one paw to his forehead, clutching his hair. He then turns his back toward the table.* Damn you. You'll pay for this. *He presses another button, then throws the phone as far as he can. He then walks away in a rage, muttering under his breath.*

[Kabuki]

"owch...must be rough" she looked at the wolf then back to her book trying to focus on th rods  in front of her but so much going on her mind made it hard for her to concentrate.

*Several hours later, the wolf returns to the shop. He picks up and sits down on the bench he had knocked over. But somthing was different about him. Instead of being angry, as he had left, he looked somewhat pleased. He pulls out a pack of cigarettes and lights one. As he sits with only his thoughts, a police car suddenly speeds by. The wolf managed to hear the report coming through on the car's radio as it went by.* "Attention all officers. A body has been found outside a refinery on the outskirts of the city hanging from a light pole. All units are directed to respond immediatly..."

[Kabuki]

"well.well. well. your here again" kabe giggled once more and stared at the wolf from the corner of her eye. "dead bodies. murders. suicides. thats why this city is called the murder capital"

['Project Zeta']

*Takes a puff* Yea. But in my opinion, people only get killed if they deserve it. Justice prevails. Know what i mean.

[Kabuki]

"mmm i guess." She took a swig of her tea and continued reading on. still humming to her ipod and staring out the window becuase of course. kabe had been distracted again. but this time by a wonderful view of a rainbow. A smile appeared on her face and she tried not to giggle but she couldn't help it. "such a pretty sight"

['Project Zeta']

*Looks at the rainbow, then glances away* Yes...pretty.

[Kabuki]

"hm. im..kiely..but most people here know me as kabe" She gave a faint smile and turned her ipod volume  up even more

['Project Zeta']

*Smiles back, but without the friendly charm one would expect* Well, its nice to meet you, Kabe. My name is....well...it's not important. You'll probably figure it out sooner or later.*Looks at his watch* Well, im sorry, but i have to be going. I'll see you back here then?
