History always repeats itself. No matter who wins or loses. It will always repeat if the same actions of greed and pride are followed. In the city of Taros, this was the same fate. The government only supporting the rich and powerful. Those of lower class falling into despair and lose all hope. But those who believe in the cause of the light…will fate change? Will this city of darkness finally see the sunlight again?

In a dark part of town, a bar sits almost empty on a late evening. The Broken Halo. A man sat at the bar, reading over files on the bar top and humming to himself. This was Bane Clawson. He was huge and clearly seen combat. He was handsome apart from a scar across his left eye.

Serving as bartender was a striking red head with curves men die for and bright green eyes. She was humming with Bane as she was cleaning the glasses. Scarlet O’Hara. They were waiting for the rest of their cause to arrive, including the mystery boss that no one had seen.

Bane glanced up at the clock and frowned. “They are running late…”

Walking fast past a number of police cruisers, Melanie kept her head down low. She didn't care what was going on in that area; she simply wanted to reach her destination, The Broken Halo. But that mission was thwarted when she nearly walked into a uniformed man blocking her path. She was asked a couple of questions on the spot, including whether she lived in the building behind them and where she was planning to go in such a hurry. Having been in that exact same position a number of times before, Melanie had no trouble answering him. She even produced identification when asked, that being a fake forged by none other than herself. The officer was none the wiser as he handed back the ID once it was verified she did not live in the area. Melanie quickly thanked him and went along her way, crossing the street and putting all that noise behind her.

A little while later, she crossed another street. This time around, a group of men turned to her and began spewing nonsense, but she didn't pay them any mind. Instead, she pushed the door opened and stepped in the bar.

When he heard the door Bane looked up and said “fianlly. I was worried you got caught in one of the blockages going around town. Did you get the info we needed?” scarlet smacked him with her towel and looked a true new comer.

“Ignore him till you catch your breath love. Did you see any of the others coming back? The boss said to be here at midnight. It must have to do with the locks down going on”

Looking up at Bane for a moment, she shook her head and smiled. Of course, she wouldn’t expect any other response from him. But before Melanie could reply, Scarlet chastised the man, eliciting a chuckle from the young woman as she made her way towards them. “Yes, I have the information. I ran into a minor inconvenience on the way, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Didn’t see anyone else though, so let’s just hope they’re running late like me.”

A second later, Melanie sat adjacent to Bane, eyeing a few bottles behind Scarlet despite the fact that she wasn’t drinking that night. In fact, she wasn’t drinking for quite some time. “Do we have a 'Plan B' for possible contingencies?” she turned to Bane, eyeing his scar as if she were drawn to it.

Bane sighed and rubbed his face. “Yes, but I’d rather go into them till we can be sure about the other two and the boss. But the boss said they would meet us on the way to the mission point. Which…where is that exactly?”

Scarlet walked over and set a glass of water in front of the girl and said “department of records. You guys are getting something from there. No clue what. I just have location info and transport.” Bane sighed and added “I have gear and exit. Dante had entry and personal…I think Lillian had cover and medical.”

She was stunned, her face making it visibly obvious. "Department of Records?" Melanie repeated as if she hadn't understood Scarlet, even thought she had heard her just fine. "We're in for quite a challenge..."

Suddenly developing dry mouth from receiving such news about their mission, Melanie gulped down about half the glass of water. The swallowed the liquid and sighed, fingernails tapping lightly on the half-empty glass. "So what do I do? Am I gonna be the distraction? If it's one of those old guards that'll be an easy job..." The last bit was accompanied by a smirk.

Scarlet nodded and said “all I know is the target is files and heavy guarded ones. And old. I have sealed boxes to protect the paper…”

Bane shook his head and said “your my second on this. Your the one with most skilled background when it comes to this. I need you jumping in where you see we are lacking…” just then the door opened and a red haired man walked in, looking pissed. He walked over and pulled his hat off.

“Sorry I’m late. I got stopped three times. For my eye color…seriously? What are the cops looking for right now?” Bane smiled and said “here for the party Dante…don’t worry your not late”
