A sudden loud crash shattered the sleepy atmosphere, like a brick tossed at a mirror. Dalton, along with half the room's occupants jumped up in alarm, some of the more anxious ones even reaching for their weapons, but quickly stopped themselves. It was just a harmless girl.

The bar's patrons soon forgot all about the accident, turning away one by one to resume their own activities, except one boy who continued to stare at the brown haired girl in disbelief. He blinked, stared a few moments longer before realizing she was real,  then his jaw dropped.

''Is that... Ixina? Wha- H-how is she here?! ''

His heart was hammering, cold sweat poured down Dalton's back. A million questions passed through his mind in those few seconds, screaming the sheer absurdity of it all. His girlfriend, here, now,'' how?! ''Confusion, shock, panic and concern swept across his face.

Seeing her in pain and embarrassed like this tore at his heart. He wanted to go to Ixina, pick her up and comfort the poor girl, but he hesitated. lt'd mean compromising the mission, or worse, dragging her into it.

Ixi didn't know about the syndicate, and he believed it was better that way. The innocent girl would never survive the Valean underworld, and if she got involved Dalton couldn't promise her safety.

Cursing silently, he got up and crossed the room to her. Dalton kneeled down, his hands gripped Ixi's shoulder's firmly. Part of him wanted to just push her outside, slam the door and lock it. It seemed logical, laughably so. Perhaps he was still panicking, not thinking straight... Ixi would probably hate him, but she'd be safe. The last thing Dalton wanted was to have his lover in the same building with a man like Riley.

Instead, he cursed again and helped Ixina to a sitting position. "Hey baby, it's okay now, i'm here... Are you hurt? he asked, bending over to check her body for any cuts and bruises.
