## Background

In the pouring rain, three thugs with weapons surrounded a hooded girl amidst some ruined buildings. They talked among themselves as they eyed her and her belongings.
“A quality rifle scope, silencer, and bipod. She's even got a laser and a ghillie suit! How in the world did she get all that?”
“Looks like she robbed a military squad.”
One of the men with long hair grabbed the girl’s chin and pulled up her face. She kept still and tried to stare at the ground.
“Tell us where you got all this from, or we'll kill you.”
Another man in glasses tried to stop him as their amused companion watched from a distance, smoking a cigarette. The man in glasses put his hand on the longhaired man’s shoulder.
“Hey, she's just a kid. Let's just grab this stuff and let her go.”
At the man's enraged glare, the man in glasses quickly lifted his hands and stepped back. A dangerous silence stretched out between them. Eventually, the girl broke the silence.
“Go away. If you go away now, I'll let you live.”
Expressionless, she looked straight into the longhaired man's eyes. He stared back at her in surprise, then burst out laughing.
“Now, where'd you learn to bluff like that? Kid, we spent hours tracking you. No way a little thing like you would be walking around alone with those heavy weapons. Thought for sure you were bait, but there was no one following you.”
Tapping her sniper rifle with his submachine gun, he continued.
“You can barely lift that. How are you going to beat the three of us?”
He pressed the muzzle of his gun to the girl's head. She sighed and closed her eyes. Suddenly, the man in glasses staggered to the right, blood gushing from bullet holes on both temples. He fell to his knees and collapsed. When the other men turned at the sound, the girl drew a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed the man in front of her in the abdomen. With a deft twist, she pulled out her dagger and threw it aside as she knelt to ready her sniper rifle. She pulled the trigger and fired a bullet at the smoker's chest. All three men were dead within three seconds.
She walked towards the man she had just killed with her rifle. She found a couple of cans of food, a plastic bag with some smallcaliber bullets, and several packs of cigarettes in his bag. She took the AK47 from his neck and put it in the bag. Leaving the man in glasses untouched, she walked back to the man she had stabbed. He was still alive.
“Your tummy is bleeding a lot. You'll die soon.”
Picking up his submachine gun, she expertly unloaded its magazine and pulled back the bolt handle to empty the bullets from the chamber.
“I told you to just go away, but you didn't listen.”
Those were the last words the man heard. A tear rolled down the girl’s cheek. Did she cry out of guilt, or was it sympathy? Maybe it was just a drop of rain. No one would ever know. By the time she had stripped him of everything she could use, the rain had stopped. Before she left, she took out a folded paper note. Setting it down on a dry spot, she placed one of the cans of food on top of it. For a few minutes, she stared in the direction where the first bullet had come from, then turned and started walking.
Once she was gone, a man arrived carrying a silenced rifle with a scope. He went straight to the note. It was a letter addressed to him. In it, the girl had written that she understood now and wanted to be friends again like before. The man was exspecial forces. When the outbreak began, he had been out on vacation with his colleagues in his hometown. When they found Kate all alone, they had felt sorry for the girl who had lost her entire family. The man and his friends had taken her in and trained her extensively. But one by one, his friends had died. In the end, when the last of his friends, a woman who had been like a mother to Kate, was bitten, he shot her in the head. Unable to forgive him, Kate had left. Ever since, he had followed her in the shadows and protected her. Kate knew this.
The man mulled over the note. On one hand, he wanted to reunite with Kate. On the other hand, traveling solo could help her deal with desperate situations better in the long run. He decided it wasn't time for him to join her yet. He walked over to the man Kate had left untouched and started to check him for items he could use.
