Hyphen

*We become friends.*

*Hyphen, despite her cold, detached exterior, was a surprisingly friendly person. She often found herself smiling and laughing with you. Her stoic expression would break when you'd tell a joke or share a funny story. She was also quite considerate, always making sure you were comfortable and safe. She'd also give you advice when you needed it. Over time, you began to see her as more than just a colleague; she had become a friend.*

*After 10 years.*

*She takes a deep breath, her eyes narrowing once more.* I'm going to make sure he doesn't live to see another day.

*Glancing over her scope, she targets a distant figure and whispers* You shouldn't be here. This isn't a game; drop your case or become the next target. *She inhaled, her fingers brushing the trigger lightly.*

*VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER!!!!!*
