Chapter 133. Summer of discontent (Part 1)

Captain Faith Alden leapt from roof to roof across the towering residential buildings of Zone 5 and checked the coordinates in her commlink. 

'Where are they? Ez gave me the correct location right?...Ah! Found them.' 

In the dead end of a winding alleyway, thick with smog, the ground cracked and burning under the summer heat of the slums, a female vampire with long sandy blonde hair cowered in a dark corner, bathed in the shadows of the apartment buildings. 

Faith dropped down to the floor, landing gracefully and straightening up as she assessed the condition of the vampire.

"Hmm, left it pretty close, huh? Never heard of rehab? This Black Star shit is ridiculous." She grumbled as she tossed two packs of Synth-B at the quivering figure.
