Alarm

The night was cool enough to still be considered nice. Holly had considered cooking dinner, but her fridge was desperately lacking. There was a little convenience market not too far from her flat. The brunette decided to walk instead of drive.

Once she was on the pavement, she adjusted her purse on her shoulder, looking around for any sign of her shadow. He was well-hidden tonight. But he would be around. It was just after 9 PM. A light breeze tousled her hair as she began to walk.

"It's a nice night," Holly said, knowing her voice would drift to reach him, wherever he was. "Too bad I'm all alone." She knew if anyone else were around, they'd think her insane. "I'm sorry I was mean to you the other night."

It was easier to say the words without having to face him. She hated apologizing, not because she didn't mean it, but it meant acknowledging she had made a mistake. And that was something that Holly didn't do well.

"Come on, then," the same paramedic said, holding the door open. They were going to have to get this guy to the E room in a hurry. It was a miracle he hadn't already bled out.

When the door to the ambulance slammed shut, the vehicle's engine roared and tires squealed as the driver pointed it in the direction of the nearest hospital. The police were just beginning to arrive on the scene, more sirens and lights causing people to come out of nearby stores and apartments.

Just another night in Sin City.
