Alix stepped out in the open compound and breathed out in the cool night air. When she saw a hotel attendant pass by, she stopped her and asked her something. The attendant nodded and went inside.
As she waited, she suddenly sensed a bad foreboding and jerked her head back. She couldn't see it clearly but a figure in a black coat moved across the compound. She didn't know why or who he was but a chill arose in her back.
A few minutes later, the sound of Jin's shoes pressed against the ground. He blinked at her lonely figure and stood beside her. He was puzzled as to what Alix would need from him.
"You asked the attendant to call me?"
"Thought to help you out a bit," Alix shrugged.
"Help?" Jin was suspicious.
"Don't look at me like that. I am not going to eat you."
She took out a cigarette and passed it to him. Jin stared at it and looked back at her. "Why are you giving it to me?"
"Because you need it."
