Alora eagerly opened the file that contained Austin's picture. He was sitting on the floor, a Glock in one hand and a small dagger in the other.
'It seems like someone else took the picture.' He was covered in blood; his own and that of his victim's. His jet black hair was slick with the red fluid, so was his hands and clothes.
He had a cute smile on and even with all the blood, she noticed he was blushing. 'Such a cute picture.'
She then zoomed in on the background. Armed men were attacking other men who ran in Austin's direction. Just like Austin's clothes, the floor was covered in blood.
'It might be repulsive but I think this is an adorable photo.'
"Alright." She shouted. "You guys can come in now."

Austin ran across the empty street an into a ally. He wiped the blood from his face with a wet cloth. Taking his phone out of his pocket, he checked his mail. 'She did send me a picture.'
Alora was standing at the hospital balcony, with a wave to the camera. She was still in the hospital gown but she looked so...
"So, you are going to check your mail at a time like this?" Calum jumped down from the roof above. He used the butt of his RPG to hit the back of his head.
"It's Alora."
"Is she fighting for her life?" He asked.
"No, she sent me a picture. She is so precious to me."
"That's not as important as your life." Calum hit his head again.
"Stop. I'll get a headache." He put the phone back into his pocket.
"We have to complete this mission... Oh my goodness," He exclaimed.
"What?" Austin pulled out his gun defensively.
"You haven't been wearing a bulletproof vest." Calum handed one to him. "We have been here for six hours. How come you don't have a bullet wound on your body?"
"I'm naturally blessed." He put it on. "And, let's get this over with. Contact the men."
Calum turned on a walkie-talkie. "Calling all units. This is Alpha A-U. I repeat, this is Alpha A-U. We get the arm's dealer before he reaches the buyer."
"The buyer is twenty kilometres away from the arm's dealer. The mission is simple. Delta A-1 will take out the arm's dealer."
"Unit Serial Code, stop the opposing parties men. If any external force interfers, prevent them from coming close, but don't kill unless necessary."
"Alpha A-U and Bravo C will secure the briefcase and the goods. Unit U-I, provide cover for Alpha and Bravo and capture the buyer."
"I want everyone involved to be restrained. We move at 1300. That means, we are going with Plan B. Do you copy?"
The men on the other side responded.
"That's good. We leave this place at 1470. Backup will arrive at that time. If you aren't at the starting point, you may as well turn yourself in. Take position."
