The City of Forgotten Memories (Rated T, Accepting)

?

"Why thank you, Samuel. Reginald! Take Douart and Smith down to the vault, and tear it open. I want you to find Maywater's file, and bring it to me. Once we have that, we'll torch this place." the assassin ordered. One of the two thugs nodded and left Joseph's side, leaving the office. The thug behind Ashley stepped back to allow himself to have both the girl and the apprentice in his range.

"Now we don't need your help. On behalf of the Society, I thank you. Now you die." she said, pointing her gun at Samuel. She tensed for a moment before collapsing onto the floor, her back riddled with bullets. The thug standing behind the Archive apprentice and Ashley tore off his mask.

"I'm Isaac Meyr. Look, I don't have time to explain, but we need to stop those guys from getting Maywater's file, get the file ourselves, and then get the hell out of here. This won't stop her for long.

?

"Not at the moment, no. But whoever your grandmother did tell about her memories, I know that one of them betrayed her. I'd tred carefully if I were you, Hyu. When I find out any more information about your grandmother's murder, I'll tell you." the man said.

"But why," Hyu asked. He wasn't going to thinking that he should just accept what he was given. But he was confused as to why this guy was telling him this. "Why are you telling me this? What do you want?"
------------
Antha slipped out her window. She didn't want to be kept in. Just because of what happened didn't mean she was going to get killed or something. At least that's what she hoped. She made her way down the street wondering if she could get a job somewhere else.

"What the hell?! You were a cop! You could have helped us! That was close!" Joseph rushed before sighing and looking down where the thugs went, "How do we overpower the thugs? They have weapons and we're smaller than them."

Ashley/Samuel

"What do you mean this wont stop her for long? You just shot her in the ******* back?" Ashley shouted, angry that she had just been almost shot, and disappointed that she hadn't been shot at the same time.

"You're right, Detective Meyr. What's the plan?" Samuel asked, quickly composing himself as he tried not to let his stupidity get him down. For now, at least.

Isaac

"Actually, I'm a private investigator, but that doesn't matter at the moment. Well, the plan's quite simple, really: shoot all the other remaining thugs, and head toward the vault to intercept the last three Society members. I'm experienced with a gun, and there's only two more of them left out there." Isaac explained.

"You...!" the seemingly dead assassin shouted, now struggling to get to her feet. The blood spattered across the floor and walls started to slowly converge back to her somehow, the nearest going back inside her body. Isaac shot her again, this time making sure to put a few rounds inside her head. She became still again.

"That'll keep her busy, but she'll recover soon enough. Now, follow my lead."

?

"Your grandmother was a dear friend of mine, Hyu, and a dear friend to my allies. We will do whatever we can to make sure her murderer does not get away free. The Society looks after it's own." the man said, giving Hyu a smile.

Ashley/Samuel

Samuel and Ashley both stopped, shocked to see that the girl had just come back from the dead in almost less then a minute.

"Right, lets go then." Samuel replied before nodding. "Joseph, I want you to escort this young woman outside of the building. Inform the police what is going on once they arrive." Samuel ordered before turning towards Isaac. "Do you have another gun? I know how to shoot."

Meanwhile, Ashley leaned down and stared at the Assassin's body, looking at a piece of flesh that had come from the killer's cheek laying on the ground next to her. "So that's going to go back into her face soon....." Ashley noted, disgusted at the thought. "Unless....what if I...." The Waitress muttered, quickly grabbing the piece of skin and pocketing it. "Lets see you go around town if you don't even have your entire face!" Ashley thought, not sure if her spiteful plan would work.

"Why not tell my grandfather or my parents? Why come to me," Hyu asked, though in the back of his mind he felt like he knew already. But he wanted to be sure. "Not that I am complaining. But I'm curious as to how I can help. I'm only 17."
----------
Antha made her way down the streets. She wasn't sure where she was going until she found herself outside the cafe. She blinked in surprised. Then she yelped when someone spoke beside her.

"What are you doing here?" It was Crimson, the girl she met yesterday.

"I work here, or I did at least. I don't know really. Just kind of walked here I guess."

"You worked here? But you look kind of young."

"I know," Antha said, smiling then frowning. "They let me work because I drew in customers."

Joseph nodded, both relieved and disappointed at the same time that he was left out of the action. He nodded and rolled his eyes at what Ashely was doing. He gripped her free hand and headed for the backdoor.

"Come on. We need to hurry!" he told her.

Ashley

"Fine, lets go!" Ashley replied, thinking deep inside that this guy was probably the type who always did what he thought was heroic. Of course now wasn't the time to analyze whether this was because he liked attention or if he was genuinely a brave and good person, Ashley realized as she followed the Archive Keeper.

Isaac

"Here." Isaac said, tossing a pistol over to Samuel. "You ready?"

?

"We feared your mother may have overreacted to the news, and we are not sure whether your grandfather could be trusted with the information. The Society decided to tell you, since you seemed the best choice out of our options." the man answered.

"I...I understand," Hyu said. Though he didn't completely. Something about this whole thing seemed off somehow, but he tried not too think too much into it. He felt if he did he might say or do the wrong thing and what might happened after that.... Well it was something he would rather not think about. "Was there something you want me to do?"
----------
"Where is your brother...um...."

"Hyuckle."

"Yeah him?"

"Probably at his job," Antha said. She smiled at Crimson. "Why?"

"Just thought he wouldn't want his sister walking around."

Samuel

"Of course." Samuel replied as he accepted the gun, weighing it in his hands for a few seconds before he walked out of the room.

Isaac Meyr

Isaac walked out of the room with him. The thugs turned their attention to Samuel and him befoore Isaac brought his machine gun up and started shooting, taking one of them out before the rest opened fire. Isaac ducked behind a turned over table and began to fire back.

?

"For now, no. You can leave now, Hyu. If we find out anything, we'll contact you." the man assured.

Ashley

Ashley ran out of the building, practically dragging Joseph out with her as they ran into the street. "****, that was...insane." She stated between large gasps for air.
-----------------------
Samuel

Samuel walked out a few seconds after Isaac has shot down the thugs. They were incapacitated for sure, but a few of them were still alive. Samuel could tell. The Archive Keeper quickly took care of that, having to use five bullets to kill two of the men.

"You don't need to tell me!" Joseph told her with a frown as he took her hand and led her towards the shortest path to the police station. There was no time to lose.

Hyu stood and walked out of the building, half confused about just what happened and half relieved to be out of there. He headed to work, knowing he will be chastied for being late, but Hyu didn't mind. He was good at his job so there was no worry about being fired.

Isaac Meyr

"Everyone, out! Call the police!" Isaac shouted to the remaining hostages. Once they filed out en masse, Isaac turned to Samuel.

"Now, mind leading me to these 'vaults'?"

Samuel

"Of course. Follow my lead." Samuel replied before he took off down one of the halls. The Archive Keeper moved quickly, throwing caution to the wind as he tried to get to the Vaults.
-------------------------
Ashley

Ashley quickly ran after Joseph, though she admittedly had some trouble keeping up with the boy.

Joseph grinned when he finally reached the police station, but frowned when he found it locked. He banged the doors.

"What could they possibly be doing right now?!" he asked before grimacing when he saw a sign saying "Out for Donuts: Will be back in 10 minutes".

Joseph's eye twitched, "Lazy pigs..."
