I walked into the apartment I shared with my mom, hearing uncontrolled coughing coming from her room. I dropped my stuff and hurried to her bedside. "Mom..."
She waved me away as the coughing died, "I'm fine, James..."
A frown tugged at my lips, "I'm going to get that medicine for you... I think I finally have enough..."
My mother shook her head, "No... Rent's due tomorrow..."
I sighed heavily. Damn it...

Finishing lacing up my black running shoes this morning and slinging two over sized leather bags over my shoulder, holding the each by their draw strings, I am prepared for the landing. We'll be landing in a mountain range not too far from some transportation that can take us to any underground city of our liking. Then we'll be set out on our own to find what we wanted and so on.
Well the closet city for where I'm heading to is actually a small town and I may spend a couple nights there. But then again, whom is to run the business then? With a bored sigh I once again wonder why my bounty mentor sent me on a mission to a charity fund. Is he stupid?
I'm wasting not only my precious time here, but my skills as well. Pretending to be a business man while he's away with his birthing mate is not a proper hunter's job. I'm going to be a laughing stock when I return home. Love and Angel are going to get a real kick out this one when I retell the tale to them.
So going from ship, to transport, to little town, and then paying an Earthling a good sum to get me to the city, I now find myself staring at some drab looking hotel. It's only a three star rating, but its cheap enough for my stay, even though I'm to be payed the C.E.O.'s salary for the remainder of my stay and am allowed to do as I please with it. I refer to save rather than to money gouge.
So with said I get a room with one bed, a small couch, and a small bathroom. The color scheme seaming to be gray and off white in this room, Angel would just have himself a heart attack if he saw this. But its fine for some one simple like me. So taking careful care of all my babies (that I only brought as a precaution) I take my favorite dagger and place it inside my secret coat pocket. Then put most of my money in there too. Only leaving out a couple twenties for food or something.
So heading back out I decide to go scoop the building I'll be working at. But first I must make it out of this "bad side of town". Peachy.

"There's an upcoming charity that, if successful, can help us get the medicine and treatment, Mom..." Remembering this hint of information made me hopeful, but as always, my mother shot it down again. It's not like she wants to die. She is just willing for life to take its course.
"Mom... I'm going. Whether you want me to or not. I'm going to sign the petition and everything." I heard he sigh softly and tell me what she always does when I show a hint of what my father had been like.
"I know you will..."

Out side the building I start walking around it, exaiming it. The security is low and the guards are stupid. How's this guy ever make it to the top of the food chain and stay there if he's so careless? Seriously? Even someone less experienced than me could of taken him down easily, jeesh.
Well I'm circling the place I run into a human whom has a heavy scent of sick hanging on them, "Excuse me."

"I'm sorry..." I quickly walked around him, heading to the local park.

A lot of people have already gathered in the park to begin getting information about the charity. I walked around groups of people, feeling lost and uncertain. I don't really know anyone besides my mother.

I looked up at the person and blushed slightly, "Um... Hi..." I am SO lame.

"So what are you here for?" I ask with a soft tone and the smile on my face becoming a look of sympathy. I gotta play my part after all.

My smile faltered. Sympathy smiles are nothing but pity. I answered anyway, "My mother. She would've come herself, but she has to stay in bed." Lies! She wouldn't have come. That's Dad that would have. Then, he wouldn't come home for days at a time because he was protesting or marching. He's dead now though. Shot in one of the many marches he did. I forced myself to stop thinking about him in order to listen to the guy in front of me.

"Oh I'm sorry to here that," I say automatically. "So what does she have? She isn't terminal is she? Is there any way this thing will help?" Now I'm just blabbering, but the look on the other's face is so pathetic that all I can do is try to pull him back.
"Say... What's your name kid?"

"M-my name?" When he nodded, I spoke softly, "James... James Seville."

"Well James," I smile brightly. "We're gonna try to get your family and everyone else's a what they need, now. Is that a good plan, do you think?"

I blinked, "Yes.... My mother's treatment costs too much..." I turned to walk away.
