The Hitman’s Sunshine

Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling. Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone. _ _ _ Sunshine Meets Grumpy He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions. Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable. One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

LOST BUT FOUND

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: LITTLE BY LITTLE ~ CHEEZE]

It was like the world was against Lily; all she ever had to face was bad luck. She didn't know when things had gone wrong for her; she couldn't even remember now. It was just yesterday she enjoyed chicken with her brother while he teased her. It was just yesterday he called her an Icecream because she came out of the shower with foam on her hair.

Just yesterday...they laughed and lived like normal people. But now, she lived with a gun to her head and her brother tied to a pole ready to be killed.

Lily pushed open the car door, staggering towards the arena she muttered to herself, "Fred..."

But Fred couldn't hear her; Fred was already tired of life. The boy was now looking pale after spending weeks in a prison even as a minor he was subdued to the harsh treatment there. Denied of food and other basic human necessities, the boy's hand trembled in fear as he looked around for his only sister for hope.
