1 The Fall

After Zander's mother was killed and no relatives to live with. He ran away from his foster home at the age of eight and lived on the streets scavenging for food, money, and shelter. He regularly got attacked by owners of restaurants, stores and bars when he tried to steal from them, but after two years he learned hold to fight, steal and evade police. About a week after Zander turned sixteen he walks out of an alley following a tourist in the French Market as he did so then sun lit up his white hair and red eyes. The tourist was in his late thirties and military haircut. The man was loosely carrying a backpack with a laptop inside and Zander had gotten cocky so he wait for the right moment then pulled up his hoodie ran over and grabbed the bag just ashe when to sit down. Before the man realizes what happened Zander is a hundred yards for the street then he turns down Bourbon Street to make sure there was no way he could be chased. After a while of running Zander was about half a mile away from where he grabbed the bag thinking that he was in the clear. He sits down in a alleyway and starts to search the bag then Zander reaches in and pulls out an all black knife and pistol both with a matte red head of a hellhound logo on the sides of them. "Damn these probably cost that guy a fortune" he says as he pushes the gun down in his waistband then the knife back into its sleeve and pulled out the laptop when he opened it a black screen with the same logo as the knife and gun. Before he could press a single key he hears heels hit the brick floor making a loud knock in the silent alleyway. Zander looks up as he puts the laptop back into the bag to see a beautiful girl who was about Zander's age wearing a tight red short skirt dress, high heels and black sunglasses. He bite his lip slightly as her red long red hair moved in a gentle gust of wind then shaking his head as he caught a glimpse of another person coming from the opposite direction. "Y'all are really bad at this" Zander said looking at the girl as he jumped onto a dumpster fire escape fifteen feet off the ground across the alleyway. "Impressive we just thought that it was just a overconfiden purse thief" She said as she takes off her sunglasses looking up at him. "It's not that difficult to spot your strategy especially because you wore all red dead give away for wanting to distract me so the grunt could grab me. So what's so important about this laptop?" He said as he pulls the laptop out and opens it up again searching through it. "Interesting the name is Hellhound correct? I guess you are a part of it?" he asks as the looks through documents on the laptop. "Yes we are and he is going to take that laptop back." She says then Zander laughs a bit as looks over at the girl then at the grunt next to her. "Good luck with that Sarah" He says with a smirk as he puts the laptop in the bag then turns around to see the man he stole the bag from swing from a bar kicking Zander in the chest sending him flying back to the ground hitting a dumpster with the right side of his back causing him to spin as he hit the ground he covered his head. When he began to get up off the ground his head was bleeding heavily and the knife in the bag was fully stabbed into his back under his right shoulder blade. "What the hell Nikola!? You don't need to kill him" Sarah yells at the man as he climbs down "Shut the fuck up I know what I'm doing. Why do they always give me children?" Nikola say as he walks over to Zander and pulls the knife out as he grabs the bag. Zander rolls over in pain causing his hood to come off showing his blood stained hair. "Who do you work for?" Nikola asks as opens the bag to see the laptop smashed to pieces. Zander smirks as he says. "Fuck you" Nikola laughs a bit and looks over at Sarah then Zander pulls the pistol out of his waist and shoots him in the head just as he looks back at him sending a ear deafening boom and blood splattering all over alley. After the blood stopped raining the grunt moved the body off of Zander then helped him up. "So you have two choices the first is we leave you here to die or you come with us and live. What will it be?" Zander looked over at Nikola's body to see the knife then picked it up then put in his waistband besides the pistol. "Well I am not going to die in this shit hole" He says as he coughs up blood then passes out.
