Chapter 33: Andrea part 1

Andrea drag herself back to the lighthouse. She have walk for hours to clear her head. But even though she walk to rethink if she have step the line. Disowning Hime hurts her but she have to teach her a lesson. She can handle her sneaking out late at night and other delinquent actions that she pick up but lying to her and keeping a secret about it have cross the line. She needs to teach her lesson. As much as it hurts her to do this with Hime--she had to teach her a lesson. She had to.

'But you pushed her to this.'

Andrea stopped dead in her tracks. What was that just now? She mumbled under her breath and thought, "This is the only way. She has to learn that what she did wasn't right."

'You are no better.'

Again Andrea stopped pacing. Since when could she hear a voice inside her head? No. She has to focus.

'Hime is not a child. Your only hurting yourself and her if you keep doing this.'

Andrea gritted her teeth and growled, "I don't need some stupid subconscious tell me what to do! This is for her own good! She has to learn that there are lines you should never cross--"

'Like you did. You are no better. You build a world around her with a lie!'

Andrea didn't know what she was thinking or even feeling at the moment. All this was getting to much for today and she's about had it until the little voice in her head continued.

'Your the one that pushed her away Andrea...this was your fault...and yours alone.'

Andrea shook her head and tries not to let the tears build up, "No..I tried...I tried to do everything for her..."

By what? Lying to her! Deceiving her! What did you think would happen if she had found out the truth? The more you keep this from her. The further away she'll be. Is that what you want.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT THE HELL UP! I ONLY DID IT TO KEEP HER SAFE! TO KEEP HER HAPPY! I DON'T WANT HER TO LIVE HER LIFE IN FEAR!"

Happy? How can she be happy if you never told her the truth about her mother? You never told her the truth about her powers! About Devil!

"SHUT UP! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!"

Is she? Have you forgotten already? Alice was your daughter? Do you remember her? You killed her.

"Shut up! SHUT UP!" Andrea broke down to her knees. She cover her ears, hoping it would block the voice. She didn't want to remember that. She have force her self to forget all the painful memories that she cause. She just wanted to stop.

"Doc?" A male voice call out to her. She look up to see Giran standing over her. She wore his tacky purple suit and have his cigarette in his hand.

"G..iran."

Giran pour a glass of whiskey for himself. He hand Andrea a motor oil container. She glare at him but he smile at her. The two of them where back to his apartment. She haven't been back here in such a long time. Not since he first found her .

"Still used motor oil right? Or did you switch it up with gas?" He joke.

"Haha! Very funny. Glad to see your personality is still the same." She grumble.

"Heh, oh come on. It's not all that bad since it got you to marry me."

"Oh shut up!" Andrea can feel herself flush. "I did it so I can get my papers!"

"Heh!" He grin at her. "Didn't I found you just like that about what six? Seven years ago? And now here we are all over again."

"Don't dwell on the past. It's unbecoming of you."

"Yep! Those were the good days."

"Hmp! What good days?"

"Oh come on. They weren't all that bad. Was it?" He tuck her hair behind her ear. "We did had some fun." He grin at her and wink.

"Keep your bloody hands to yeh self if you know what's good for yah!" Andrea growl but she can feel her face flush.  Of all the people I have to pump into him. She sighed heavily as she thought about Hime. Where did I go wrong?

-Flashback-

It was about eight years ago when she drop Hime off to a small orphanage that's been taken care of by a pastor. She remember it like it was yesterday. Her and Hime went to Japan to look for her family. But as fated have it. She didn't have any family here anymore. She couldn't take care of her all on her own. She doesn't want to be reminded what she did in the past. That's what Hime is, a reminder. But, she didn't want to abandon her eaither. She's just a kid. A kid who went through hell. A kid who just wanted to see her mother again. Andrea didn't know what else to do. She could only do so much. She still had night terrors. Her PTSD was getting worse. As for her drug addiction. Andrea have to help her get clean. Those three months were tiring for her but she stood by her. But not all good things could last.

"Ann!" Hime ran happily towards her. They were at a nearby park from their motel. Hime show her a snake skin. "Look! I found the snake's clothes! And it's perfect! Look how long it is!" Hime wave it to her happily.

"Hehe, it's pretty honey." Andrea pat on her head happily. Hime smile at her but she soon growl when she saw a man with a black suit. She saw him with his sunglasses on. She wore nothing but black. Andrea sigh heavily as she pat Hime's head. "Darling. Why don't you go play."

"Is everything okay? Is he the enemy?"

"No, just... He's a friend."

Hime glare at him but Devil calm her down as the two left to let them talk. Andrea and him sat down at the park's bench. He took his sunglasses and his hat off to reveal his third eye on the forehead. He sat down, looking around to see if anyone is watching.

"What news have you brought for me?" Andrea ask him as she watch Hime and Devil playing.

"There no easy way to say this so I'll say it. There's a price on your head and that girl's in the black market. The price went up in the dark web."

"Bullocks!" Andrea sigh heavily. She look at Hime with a worried look. "How long do you think it'll take them to be here?"

"Who knows. A week . maybe a month. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if they were already here."

"Okay..." Andrea rest her head on her hand. Thinking of a way to keep her safe. "What do you think I should do?"

"Honestly, get the hell out of here. Fake your death. Shit, live in the wilderness for all I care."

"Geeze thanks for the encouragement."

"You got yourself in a tight shit, Doc. Your father is doing the best he can to call in some favors for you."

"How is he doing?"

"He's getting weak. The medicine isn't helping him anymore."

"But the stem samples! I send the doctors the..."

"The stem cells are rejecting him. They're not helping him. They're killing him."

"No, they're supposed to work! I see them work! They're supposed to make him better. She can make things better!" She yelled and pointed at Hime. She look at the two in confusion from the distance. Andrea sat back down to calm down a little. "I've seen the results. It was supposed to work."

"Well it's not. It's rejecting him. And the cancer is growing."

"How long?"

"Doctors are not sure. They guess at least 3 to 5 years at least."

"So he have enough time."

"About that. He told me to give you a message. Stop."

"What?"

"He wants you to stop. He won't accept anymore treatments from the doctors. And from you." He told her sadly.

Andrea took deep breaths. She wanted to cry but her new body wouldn't allow her. She have so many emotions swirl in but she couldn't express those emotions physically. The man gets up and place his hat back on.

"I'll be back in three months. See how are things with you and that girl. I'll give you an update of Sir, Williams."

"Thank you,... Roger." Andrea watches Hime. She sigh heavily. She wanted this nightmare to end. All of it to just stop. But she knew this will never end.

Hime scream and cry once Andrea hold her down. They were in a small clinic. Many folks have pass by it. Invisible to the eyes. Only a few know of this place. Hime couldn't stand the pain of them cutting off her horns. Her quirk activities by accident. Push Andrea and the doctor away from her. Devil hand to pin her down as she screams.

"I'm sorry child but it's the only way!" He explained to her. Andrea had to calm her down. The doctor went back to cut off her horns. He had used wires to cut them through. He file them down with sandpaper. Once they were unnoticeable, the doctor have a hot iron flats that burn to Hime's scalps where her horns grew. She scream and cry of the pain she went through. She have finally past out due to the exhaustion.

"It's such a pity you want these off. They made her look unique." The doctor told them. Andrea stroke Hime's hair out of her crying face. She hated to see her in pain. She hated she have to put her through that all over again. "Is there anything else I could do for you?" He ask her. Andrea look at her cute little lion tail. She hated this but it was for her own good.

"Chop it off." She hold her tail.

"What?"

"Chop it off." Andrea told him. The doctor can see that she's being serious. He was going to refuse it but Andrea show him the money. He sighed heavily as he went to grab his surgical tools.

Andrea have watched many YouTube videos of making the perfect facial mask that would fit her new face. She took out the rubbery mask and place it on. She have carefully adjusted it and fix it to her cold metal face. She wear the red glasses that matched her old ones before.

"What do you think? Huh?" She ask Hime who was scratching her head. "Darling you can't scratch your head too much. It'll get infected."

"It's itchy!"

"Here! Place this cream on." She implied it on her head. Hime can feel the cream cool down her scalp. "Remember, your not allowed to used your powers in public."

"I can't talk to Devil?"

"No, not even him. Remember your quirk is bat! Okay?"

"Okay."

"Good." She smile at her. Hime look at her stun. "What?"

"It's different. It's nothing like your old face."

Andrea look at herself in the mirror. Hime is right. She have to be a whole different person. She watched Her play with the equipment. She felt happy. Seeing Hime growing up. Seeing how things are going to be okay. But not all good things last forever.

Andrea hold Hime and ran. She ran as fast as she could while holding Hime. She look at her with worried. The flesh wound is slowly healing. Devil was no match for that monster. Andrea couldn't go to the cops. She couldn't go to the heroes. They were all connected. Nowhere is safe for them. She knew the only thing she have to do is keep Hime safe. But she couldn't do it alone. She couldn't keep herself safe. It all seem like it was the only way to go. To protect someone that she finally learn to love.

"No! No! Don't leave me Andrea! I'll be good I promise!" Hime cry as she hold on to her waist. "I promise I'll be good." She look up to her with tears on her eyes. The nuns try to pull Hime away from Andrea.

"I know. But it's not that." Andrea told her. She try to get away from her grip.

"I promise I'll be good!" Hime beg her. Andrea grab her risk and pull her grip away. She hand her to the nuns. She can hear Hime scream and cry, throwing her tantrum at them. Andrea have to quickly get in her car. She can hear the nuns try to calm her down. And hold her tight.

"ANDREA! DON'T LEAVE ME! DON'T LEAVE ME, MOMMY!" Hime's voice echo in her mind. She couldn't leave her. But she have to. To keep Hime safe. To keep those people from finding her. She have to keep her safe. Hime bang on the door. Andrea watch her cry and scream at her. Begging her not to leave. Begging her not to go. But she needs to. She start her car and drove off. She can still hear Hime call out to her. She watched her in her review mirror. She saw her chasing after her. Andrea wanted to stop. She wanted to take her with her. It kills her. Hime have suffer for so long. She couldn't have a normal life growing up. But she hope that maybe. Just maybe, she could live happy. I'm sorry Hime. Forgive me. I'm so sorry.

Three months have pass by since Andrea last saw her. She was ten at the time when she left her at the orphanage. She knew Hime must have hate her but it's fine. As long she is safe, it's all that matters. 'Heheh, I wonder. Have she gotten a little bit bigger lately? I hope she's keeping out of trouble.' Andrea stood in the ground being beaten and smashed to pieces. She didn't get a clear vision of the men that were hitting her with a crow bar and a baseball bat. But she knew she couldn't fight anymore. She have run out of power.

"Think that's good?"

"Yeah. It won't be talking to anyone."

"What about the brat? I didn't see her with it."

"Probably hiding somewhere? Maybe we can find the brat in that motel? I have the keys!"

"Fuck it! 30 million seems so close."

'Dark. It's so dark and cold. Someone please. Please protect her. I ... Don't have the strength anymore. I can't protect her. ....' images and voice start to flash before Andrea's mind. She can see her daughter Alice swinging and waving at her. She can see the happy life she built for herself. But everything seems like a sweet dream. A dream that she wish to never wake up.

The sound of internal darkness is lifeless. Floating to the abyss of peacefulness. No life. No sound. Just darkness. Andrea felt at peace.

Mummy

"Alice?"

Wake up!

"Alice? Mummy's here! Alice?"

Wake up!

"Where are you honey?"

Wake up

"Alice? Come to Mummy!"

Andrea can see a light at the end. Wake up, mummy.

"I'm coming! Mummy is coming Alice!" Andrea can feel her legs running towards the light. It seems so far. But she's determined to get out of here. The voice of her daughter kept calling out to her. Alice! I want to hold you! I want see you! Let me see your face one last time! Let mummy hug you!

"ALICE!"

Andrea open her eyes only to see that she's in some kind of a mechanic's garage. It seems so dark and dusty. The light beam very light through the shades. Andrea's one eye can see the wires hook to a computer of some kind. Along with a generator.

"Hhhhhhhhhhhh-lllllllloooooo!" Andrea's voice sound like a broken Disc that's only repeating the letters. The lights were turn off. A man with a black smoke face and a bartender outfit sat across from her. When he look at the tools, he slide towards her only to be spooked when he saw her one good eye blink.

"Your on!" He seem shocked.

Andrea try to talk but her voice still sounds like a broken Disc.

"You can't talk. Can you?" He ask her.

Andrea blink at him.

"Can you understand me?"

Andrea blink again.

"My name is Kuroguir." He told her. He went to grab a pad and pen. He started to write the alphabet in order.

"What ever Letter I point you blink." He told her. As soon he move his pen, Andrea blink at the letters to make a word.

"W.h.e.r.e. ,.. Where am I?" He look at her. Andrea blink at him as a yes.

"We're in a old mechanic shop. It's been close down for years. We've brought you here since yesterday." He told her. "We had no idea you were.. well, .. alive." Andrea look around to see who was Kuroguir talking about. She didn't see anyone walking in with him.

"Right,the young man who found you isn't here. He's out." Was all he said.

Andrea wants to talk but she couldn't. Kuroguir move his pen to spell out the words again for him.

"Thank.. u. But, should have left me for dead."

"Did someone did this to you? Are you a quirk user?" Kuroguir spell the words out again.

"Y. E. S."

"Is this a form of part of your quirk?"

"N.O."

"I see, does your quirk involve electrical machines?"

"Y.E.S."

The door suddenly opens up to reveal a young teenage boy walking in. He looked to be thirteen years old, despite his pale and shaggy appearance. He wore an oversized black hoodie that covered his tall, lanky frame and plain black pants with a pair of red sneakers. He silently walks over to them, the light from the shades lightens up the room a bit giving Andrea a better look at the boy as she can now see him standing in front of her.

He had his hood up a bit to cover his face but the light brief him of the tired bags running underneath his red eyes and the way chapped lips were curled into a slight frown with a few scars running over the upper and bottom lips, making him look like a dried out turtle that's been on dry land for too long. She can feel his stare as his eyes looked at her with a blank expression.

There was something about his expression that gets her. He looked at her with a blank face but his eyes told another story: both empty yet sad but those red eyes of his said many other things that he was hiding behind his stare.

"I see your finally awake." His voice comes off with a scratch gruff tone.

"Yes." Kurogiri turned back to Andrea, "This is Tomura. He found you in the alley, badly broken and beaten. As you know we brought you here but what happened. You told me your a quirk user but-"

"This form of yours isn't a part of your quirk is it."

Andrea could only blink as Kurogiri writes down, "Y.e.s....w.h.y..d.i.d...y.o.u...s.a.v.e...m.e...." It was for the best anyway. Why save her? After what she done how could she live with herself as what she done? She abandoned Hime to think she'll have a better life without her in it. She had her removed the thoughts and memories of the lab...why didn't they just left her to die?

"Why? Did you wanted to die." Tomura asked blankly. His red eyes looking at her steadily as she looked back at him.

Once again, she blinked. Kurogiri begins to write down the words on the notepad and speak, "I...a.l.r.e.a.d.y..b.r.o.k.e.n....I..h.u.r.t....h.e.r..."

"Who? Was someone with you?"

Andrea slowly shook her head and looked away. Despite being broke and repaired, she can actually feel the tears slowly build up but she didn't want to cry in front of strangers she barely knew-even if they did save her.

"...heh. You want to die because you hurt someone. Was intentionally wrong? Or was it to save that admit guilt you were feeling?" Andrea perked a little. Did he know?

"Honestly you could've fought those guys back if you wanted to but you lay there-taking the beatings for what? Just disappeared from this person you hurt-when you might hurt her even more to live alone in this cruel world, if not more so." Tomura bluntly says. The roughness of his voice and demeanor twinge a bit as he peaked through the shutters, "Why die for something and ruin yourself over something petty?"

"...."

"We're not so different. You and I." Tomura spoke as he looks at her narrowing his eyes a bit. Andrea stiffened a little, not out of fear but out of surprise of the young man sudden change of tone, "You were broken. Badly beaten down. Disappointed. Guilty of an accidental cause." He pulls up a chair and sits in it and leans back a bit.

"This world...this form of hero society...you didn't fight back because of the feeling of wrong you done..."

That day, I didn't know why but I stay with him. I didn't seem him as a replacement of Hime. In some ways, he reminded me of her. I thought maybe I could guide him. Help him at least a little. But he's very stubborn for such a small lad. He gets irritated quickly.

"The more you scratch, the worse it'll get!" Andrea help Kuroguir with a few boxes of drinks to the back. Tomura grumbled as he scratched anyway.

Andrea sigh as she watch him. She walk towards him and place a cream on him. Out of habit, she hum a song that sound soothing.

"Try not to scratch so much. Your breaking your skin." She told him. She saw a hand touch his face. "Still trying to kill me?!" She sound angry. Two things she knows about him. One, he used his quirk to solve his problems. Two, he have weakness against certain material. Thankfully to her, titanium doesn't rust.

He growled under his breath, took his hand back mumbled. "Your lucky."

Andrea look at him with a gentle smile, "And your lucky that your adorable." She pat him gently.

Tomura blushed for a second and turned the other way. He continues to grumble as he didn't want to show himself too much, 'Idiot!'

Weeks turn into months. Andrea would come by to the bar to help. But mostly it was any given information that she overheard in the underground society. Anything at least that she needs to know if anyone was looking for her and Hime. Only few rumors of a wanted poster with 30 million bounty of a young girl with devil horns and white wings. So far nothing about her.

"Are you alright, Ms. Williams?" Kuroguir ask her politely.

"Ah, yes. Why do you ask?"

"The mug is overflowing." He pointed out. Andrea panic and stop the tap quickly.

"Yo! Smoke man, when you hiring a beautiful woman? Huh?" A drunk bald headed man ask him.

"Huh?! And what's wrong with me?"

The men smirks and laugh at her. Andrea can feel her face flush and steam coming out of her ear.

"No offense, hic but we want curvy and big boobs!"

"Huh!" Andrea was ready to murder them. "I'm plenty of a woman! Tell them Kuro!" Andrea waited for a compliment from him but he didn't say anything.

"What?" He look at her.

"Tell them I'm much more of a woman too!"

He look at her for a good long seconds. He grab the overflow beer, "Can't right now. I'm checking to see if this drink isn't flat."

"Why you..."

"Hahahah, not even your boss think your attractive."

"Fine! We'll ask the lad!" She saw Tomura playing a video game in the corner. "Tomura!"

Tomura, "What." He asked blankly without turning around.

"You find me attractive enough! Right?" Andrea ask him but the men at the bar start to laugh.

"He's just a boy! What does he know about women?"

"At least she doesn't have a beer gut that's overflowing and a fading hairline to match. And your saying she's not attractive? Look in the mirror baldy." Tomura says blankly but harshly at him without breaking his eye contact from his gaming time.

"Aaaw! You do love me!" Andrea blush and threw him a kiss.

"Why that little shit!" The bald man got up angerily. "I'll teach you to respect adults!" He march towards him. Kuroguir try to stop him. Andrea's cable hair wrap around the man's neck, suffocating him.

"I know dam well you weren't going after a child." Andrea's blue glow eyes soon turn red.

Kuroguir and the rest at the bar knew Andrea enough that they have never seen her get angry. Not once. This is the first time she was piss. The man struggles to get some air. He kick and struggle to breath. Andrea smile a little to see him struggle. She saw a reflection of herself. She gasp as she see that she's enjoying this. Hurting someone. Her trauma came back through clips of everything that she have done. The horrors in those labs of children screaming. The lives she took without realizing the truth. She lets go of the man insanity. The man cough as he gasp for air.

"Best be out of your way." Andrea try to calm herself down.

"I'll fucken kill you, bitch!" The man yelled angerily.

Andrea's cable hair smash through the floor, missing his ball sack. "No. I'll fucken kill you. Bitch. Get. The. Fuck. Out."

The man look at Andrea in horror. He never saw so much killing intention on anyone. The rage in her eyes spook him. His skin turn pale and piss on himself.

Andrea turn away and gead to the back, "I'll be on my smoke break." She said softly. Not turning to talk to Kuroguir and Tomura.

Tomura might've looked like he didn't care but he was at least too surprise like Kurogiri to see her bite at someone like that before.

"what the fuck is wrong with that chick!" The man finally snapped back. "You let that bitch know I'll be waiting for her!" The man was walking out.

"Yeeah that's not going to end well for you."

The man glare at him but as soon he step out black smoke have already swallowed him.

"Does anyone else feel like taking a trip ?" Kuroguir glare at them. Everyone lower thier heads and went back on drinking.

"Tch. Serves them right."

"Tomura, please check to see if Ms. Williams is alright?"

'I guess I don't have a choice', he thought at first, "Fine." He gets up and place his game on hold and leaves to look for Andrea.

Andrea took a puff on her cigarette as she look at the city view. She have no idea why would she do that. She never thought about hurting anyone. But the thought of that man would lay hand on a child brought back memories. Memories she wish she should have forget.

"You good?" he look at her, "how can you smoke if you don't have any lungs."

Andrea look at Tomura with a small smile. She turn off her cigarette for later and pat the step next to her. "Sit with me pup. "

Tomura shrugs and goes over to sit beside her."I'm sorry you have to see that, lad."

"That's actually really nothing new to me."

Andrea look at him in a bit disappointment. She look hurt when he told her that. She sigh heavily, combing her hair back.

Tomura looked at her. Despite seemingly being cold he still isn't as "heartless", "Why did you stop?"

"Because, it's wrong, love."

"What? Ending someone?"

Andrea didn't look at him. She stare at the ground, "All life is precious, love. But what's more precious than life. Is who you are. that part of your humanity. That part that makes you, you. Killing is not easy. But it's not hard either."

"Even if that's true, wouldn't humanity try better to do something for each other instead of standing by like the chicken shits they are and realize that this so-called peace of theirs is nothing but an illusion. If life is so precious--why not care for it like it is?" Tomura looks up at the sky and grunts.

Andrea chuckles a little. "Are you saying you would rather take the easy way?

Tomura raised an eyebrow. He was serious, "Is there much of a difference?"

"hehehe, Taking things." Andrea shook her head. "There are always consequences for one's action. If you don't realize it, it always comes back to bite you in the ass. Never take things so lightly, Tomura. Always know that everything you do, will always come back to the people you care about."

"Hmph."

"promise me." Andrea look up at the night sky. " Promise me that you'll never take a person's life, without knowing the consequences."

Tomura looked at Andrea for a split moment something flashed into his mind but he grunts, "Fine. But I can't promise you anything if shit hits the fan."

Watching Tomura grow made Andrea smile a little. He had his attitude with her but she always scold him for it. Kuroguir helps but it wasn't the same since Andrea wasn't affected by his quirk. It annoys him.

"You can't just used your quirk for everything!" Andrea groan at him.

"You do it all the time!"

"That's different! I do it because my job requires it!"

"Hmp! Whatever!"

"You know I hate that word!"

"Whatever!"

Andrea felt a "ticked vain" pop out. She was ready to scold him but Kuroguir stop her. "Williams, there's a man here to see you." She look him in surprised.

"Hey, Andrea."

"Kuroguir, can I have whiskey on the rocks for the gentleman." Andrea saw Roger took off his hat. The two sat at the far end of the corner from the bar. "It's been a while Roger."

"Sorry. I know I said three months. Didn't think it was going to be this long."

"Hmm."

"Looks like your living a good life."

"So-so!" Andrea watch him drink the alcohol. "What news do you have?"

"Well, the good news. Nobody is looking for you. They think your dead."

"Ha, I guess I have those ruffians to thank then." Andrea sound annoyed.

"But the kid's price went up."

"I see. And there is nothing I can do about it. Is there?"

"I didn't say that." He look at her seriously. He took a card out with a name Giran. "He's an info breaker. Maybe he could help you."

"Your asking me to ask for help to a con artist." Andrea grumble.

"Maybe, but he could help you with a new name, a social security, an account. Listen Williams, I feel bad for the kid. But you can start over."

"What?" Andrea growl between her teeth.

"Forget the brat. You got a new opportunity here. Maybe you could be a doctor again. Get married, have..."

"Shut up!" Andrea's eye's turn red. "You, expect me to abandon.... Get out!"

"I'm sorry. But listen," Roger try to calm her down but Andrea's cable hair wrap around Rover's neck.

"No, you listen! You expect me to abandon that girl! I barely made it out alive! Now look at me! I'm not even human anymore. You think I could live a new life looking like this? Then your more stupid then I thought. Leave, Roger." Andrea unwrapped the cable hair. "And don't come back. Ever again." Roger sigh as he place his hat on.

"I'll be back, every so little." He told her.

Andrea slam her fist on the table. She sigh heavily as she look at the card. Baster! How could he suggest that! How could...

"Is everything okay?" Kuroguir ask her.

"Yes! Not to worry." Andrea gets up and clean the table. "Just some business I must attend to."

Andrea look up at the building and see's the card one last time to see if this was the place. She sigh heavily as she hesitate to go in. She turn around to leave but she heard a man arguing with a woman. She's pretty but her makeup is too heavy and she's wearing a tight dress that didn't look right on her and she was showing off way too much chest area. The least she could do is fix her hair. She kept leaning on a man with white grey hair. He wore a tacky purple suit. He have a gap between his teeth. He look annoyed with the woman.

"I told you before. I'm not interested in you!"

"Oh come on! We'll both have a time of our lives."

"Dam it the hell! I told you before! No!"

The girl look at him angerily. She didn't know how to take a hint. She look at him and scream. She start hitting him by waving her hands. The man try to stop her. He grab her risk. Looking at her anger.

"Dam it Whore! Stop!"

"The fuck is going on?" A cop look at the two. The man let go of the woman but she place her crocodile tears and ran towards them. Crying and being dramatic.

Ignore it! This is not your concern. Andrea told herself. But her body move on it's own towards the man. BLOODY HELL! WHY ME! She run up to the man and hug him. She twirl him around and lean to his ear as if she was greeting him with a kiss. "Play along," she whispered to her ear.

"Darling! Surprised!"

"Um,... Hey, sweetie." He sound confused and worried.

"Ma'am, do you know this person?" One of the cops ask her.

"He's my husband. Why? Is something wrong?"

"Huh?" The woman sound angry. "He's not married!"

"Of course we are." And wrap her arm's around his and hug it close.

"Yeah! She's been airborne for her job." He lied.

"Exactly! And who are you, sank?"

"Who are you calling a sank? Sank!"

"Your the only bitch here!" Andrea growl.

"Aw hell nah!"

The two woman were arguing with each. The cops look at the two and look at the man. He sigh and open his car door. "Sir, try not to get caught by your wife again."

"Ahaha, y-yes." He laughs nervously but he look over at Andrea who was still arguing with the woman. She march towards the man and slap him.

"FUCK YOU!" She ran off crying. Andrea walk towards him and sigh.

"You have poor taste in woman." Andrea lights up a cigarette. "Sorry for interrupting your affairs. "

"I should be thanking you, honestly. I've been trying to get rid of her." He told her with an exhausting tone. He look at her as he pull out his cigarette. He try to light it but the lighter wouldn't work. Andrea brought her cigarette over to the tip of his to light up. He look at her glass blue eyes that are made of lights.

"Welp, I got to go."

"Hey! What's your name?" He ask her.

"Andrea, Dr. Andrea Williams. You?"

"Everyone calls me Giran." He smiles at her.
