"Where were you?" the girl asked. She was sure that Ning had a shift during the day today, but had been surprised when she didn't see him leave the tower during the sudden attack earlier.

"I was out to the east, doing my job," Ning said.

"Well, then you are one of the lucky few that managed to not get injured during the attack," she said.

"What happened here?" Ning asked.

"Alright, take care of him," Ning said, referring to the guy on the ground.

He left the place and went just a few meters ahead, before seeing another fight that he hadn't before because of the dirt and smoke.
