[i]Theta grinned maniacally, and sprinted up to Zach, throwing a punch at his jaw, but Zach was faster than her; he dodged, his hands still raised.[/i]
"Hey. Come on. We can talk about this—" [i]He was cut off by Theta slamming into his slender chest, knocking Zach to the ground, and she torn between finishing what they were going to do the night before or just beat the shit out of Zach, who really didn't mind either. [/i]
"No, but really, Miss Mafia. We could negotiate something. You're alive, first of all, meaning I no longer need to lose sleep because of nightmares of your ghost haunting me, and—" [i]Once again cut off by a punch to the jaw, Theta growled at Zach, who just sighed after yelping in pain.[/i]
"You shoot me, and expect me to negotiate?" [i]Theta cackled, and punched Zach again, who didn't even raise a finger.[/i]
"Well, actually, I didn't expect anything after shooting you—" [i]Another punch. Really, Zach was just trying to get a laugh out of the so-serious Theta; in truth he had nothing to live for, nothing to die for, and so he could willingly throw his life around like a bouncy ball.[/i]

JT's issue never existed with Zach, instead he was only here now because Theta needed a ride. Not really all that much else that I can write here.
-
"Okay, seriously, cut it out—" [i]Zach said, before another punch shut his mouth. Finally, Theta pressed the barrel of the pistol to Zach's chest just like he had done to her the night before, her bright green eyes filled with anger and dislike. Zach sighed, accepting death; he never did anything useful with his short life, anyways, most disliked him, and finally, he would be killed for trying to be the good guy. His bright blue eyes gazed into Theta's green ones, their eyes locking together for a brief moment, and the corners of Zach's lips turned up in a genuine smile.[/i] "Any final words?" [i]Theta asked, kind enough to deliver the man's last words, unlike he was to her. But the man simply shook his head—he never grew close enough to anybody to have anything to tell anybody. And so, his last words were only one:[/i] "Farewell." [i]The trigger of the pistol was pulled, and the resounding gunshot echoed through the mountains as blood stained Zach's white shirt, his blue eyes now lifeless, his heart having stopped.[/i]
-
JT didn't know him nor did hr care for him, which was kind of funny considering he was generally regarded as a kind and caring man in the eyes of most people he knew at the Dojo. This though, this was not leisure and interaction time, this was work and JT had left a task to Theta. He just hoped she made the right move in the Detective's eyes.
-
[i]Theta turned around, and walked back to the jeep, throwing the pistol into the car and buckling up, staring straight ahead out of the car's windshield, sitting in complete silence.[/i]
-
JT knew that along the line somewhere, somehow, he -blam!-ed up incredibly badly. So he drove the woman away from the mountains and after a few moments of silence, he sprang a question. "Where do you want me to drop you off?"
-
[i]Theta blinked.[/i] "Drop me off? You're gonna abandon me somewhere?" [i]Yeah, she'd been having a bad week; taken advantage of, murdered, brought back to life, then committed murder, but she definitely didn't expect being abandoned in the middle of nowhere by the person who revived her:[/i]
-
"No, god no, just assumed you had a house or someplace I could bring you," JT honestly replied as he kept his eyes tot he road ahead. He didn't know if Theta had any house, a car, anything even remotely of that sort so he had to assume that she did as an adult woman. "Unless you're staying at my place? I have a spare room or two."
-
"The only place I've got is the same place where I died," [i]Theta murmured, looking away from the cowboy. She looked a little... disappointed, and who knows why.[/i] "I assume you know where that is?"
-
"Yeah. You sure it's safe there?" JT decided that using his little advantage card in this scenario would be quite helpful to him. And so he allowed his right eye to deactivate which turned off the depth perception JT had, in favour of looking at the monitor and reading her thoughts to see why she was angered.
-
[i]In Theta's thoughts, it appeared as though she was disappointed because she thought that the job JT was going to offer her would give her an excuse to stay away from the Bloodsuckers, and hell, maybe even a friend outside of the Mafia. But it was clear to her that the cowboy was just going to drop her off and probably never see her again, and she tried not to care. Out loud, she said:[/i] "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's safe, just have to avoid big parties."
-
"Yeah, seems about right." JT wasn't planning on just letting her slip through the cracks, as he was legitimately planning to befriend the woman known as Theta, and was just giving her some time to think about what just happened so she could relax. Hell, JT went through a similar thing when he was young and still in his home city. "Hey, call me in the morning alright? We cen grab a coffee, maybe get you started around the clinic if you want."
-
[i]Theta's face brightened a little, and smiled slightly, nodding, however her eyes didn't leave the road as she waited for them to arrive back at the dojo.[/i]
-
JT kept either of his eyes on the long road ahead for the rest of the journey, which was maybe another five minutes. When he pulled up to the gates of the Dojo, he parked the car and stepped out as he grabbed a brown bag, and walked to Theta's side of the door. The window rolled down due to JT having a nanite push it, before he spoke. "There is fifty thousand dollars in this bag in thousand dollar bills, Tatakai money. Get yourself a different apartment so nobody tries to off you, or at least some armour."
-
[i]Theta smiled, taking the money, and getting out of the car. She thought that she didn't really need a new apartment; only three people knew of her identity as a Godfather, one was the Primal Bloodsucker, one was dead, and one was JT. And so she walked towards her apartment door, turning to look at JT.[/i] "Thanks for... everything," [i]She said, unsure of how to react of somebody she didn't even know all that well reviving her, giving her a ride, then giving her fifty thousand dollars.[/i]
-
"No problem, uhh... Come to think of it, I never got your name?" It was funny, JT only knew her as Theta after one conversation with Jerven, and he needed to get that confirmed.
-
"Theta Brown," [i]She answered, smiling slightly.[/i] "And you?" [i]The writer could think of no more what to write, but to avoid a one-liner, typed up random words.[/i]
-
"John Truman, most call me JT." Of all the people to ask his name and not just assume it was his alias due to the Lieutenant status he had, Theta was the first to know his adopted name. His actual name was the serial number JT890M, though John Truman was what he was given when adopted into the Truman family after birth, for a cruel experiment on how well he could adjust.
-
"Okay, John, would you be more comfortable with 'JT' or your first name?" [i]Theta asked, leaning her back against the door to her apartment, twirling her keys around her right index finger, her posture showing that she had time, and didn't mind carrying on a conversation.[/i]
-
"Either works by me. Use John I guess, unless it's for work purposes, then I go by JT." JT used that alias for most things in all actuality, as it used to be a name that managed to put fear into the hearts of any nation that he was hired to go against, though now the pair of letters were nothing more than a nickname he coined.
-
"Alright, John," [i]Theta said, smiling at the cowboy.[/i] "Anyways.... I'll see you tomorrow morning." [i]She unlocked the apartment door, revealing the stairs up to her completely trashed room.[/i]
-
"Alrighty. Swing by whenever, later." And with that JT walked back to his car, and drove away from the house. He had some business back at the Clinic to take care of and a few people to upgrade to Windows 10's better model, and so he needed to hurry. ((End))
