On his right hand side was a feminine figure clad in all black and a ski mask. On his left hand side was a chubby looking male with an looking eyes and bald head. He had a circular tattoo on his head, making it look like he had hair.
The domineering figure sitting in their midst was a man with long blue hair who had a black strap tied around his eyes. He was clad in dark robes with golden star patterns all over.
He was currently crossing his leg with an unreadable expression and a laidback posture as he listened to the report of the person before him.
The man before him was in brown trench coat, a small hat and gloves on his hand. He had a small scar above his left brow and looked quite nefarious.
"He never ca back. Just like the one before and the one before and the one before..." This man spoke.
"Another failure uh?" The domineering man sitting in their midst voiced.
"Did you not assure that DD would get the job done?" He questioned while leaning his chin against his fist.
"Boss Falkorn, DD has a mission success rate of 99.9%. He was much more expensive than the previous ones yet he sohow vanished too," The man in the brown trench coat voiced out.
"Toxer enough. You failed once again. I will pass you a benefiting punishnt later," Boss Falkorn stated with an irrefutable tone.
"Yes sir," Toxer said with a tone of defeat.
"Hmm as you have said, this person sohow managed to evade capturing ti and ti again, we can no longer use hired hands," Boss Falkorn spoke while seperating his legs and sitting upright.
"Sersi," He turned to the feminine figure on the left in all black.
She instantly knelt with a respectful expression upon hearing her na.
"Yes my Lord?"
"Gather our top n... we're doing this ourselves,"

Nightti had arrived very quickly and soon it beca ti for Old Man Shin to close up shop.
"Dildier and his group didn't show up today... maybe they're busy," He muttered while packing up to leave.
The night was pretty quiet around these parts. Only the sound of rolling sands being carried by mild winds could be heard.
After a few minutes, Old Man Shin was ready to leave. He began trekking in the sa direction as usual.
After walking for another couple of minutes, he could spot the small settlent in the distant. He paused and took in a breath of fresh air while he admiring the night sky.
The beautiful night sky had a mixture between the shade of black and dark red. Four completely blue moons were aligned diagonally from each other up above, each one larger than the other.
They painted the sky with stark contracting colors yet it looked extrely enthralling.
Other orbital bodies could be spotted in the sky as well and everywhere happened to be really cool right now.
After the brief pause, Old Man Shin resud walking forward till he got into the settlent up ahead.
Soon he arrived at his house after getting stopped over ten tis on the way by greeting natives.
He turned to stare at the house just few feet away from his and noticed it was shut completely.
"Looks like Bruce is not back..." He analysed before walking into his house.
He assud the kid went to see his mother in the other settlent.
Old Man Shin went on to take a shower and prepare dinner. Whilst in the process of making dinner a thought ca to his mind and he decided to make for three.
"I should properly say my goodbyes," He mumbled while making the al.
He had decided to visit the settlent where Bruce's mother was taken for treatnt so he could use that opportunity to hand them dinner and say his goodbyes. This would be the last ti he would be seeing them anyways.
After an hour ti, Old Man Shin was finished with the cooking. He packed them up and stepped out of the house.
--------
It was around ten pm when Old Man Shin arrived at a different settlent much livelier than the one he ca from. The buildings were better structured and they just happened to have a few constructed roads as well.
He made his way forward and was questioned by the local night guards patrolling the area.
Old Man Shin of course looked harmless so when he showed them the als he packed and explained what he was there for, they let him through.
He soon arrived at a two storey building and made enquiries upon entering. It was past visitation hours but Old Man Shin lied that he was a family mber.
It wasn't that difficult to believe due to what they assud his age to be and how Bruce's mother reacted upon seeing him.
"Mr Shin," She displayed a wide set of white teeth upon his arrival beckoning for him to give her a hug.
Old Man Shin didn't refuse and did so gently since she had bandages wrapped all over her body. It was obvious she had been stitched and properly dically attended to since she was both conscious as well as vibrant.
"Be careful with late night movents so Bruce will always have soone to co ho to," Old Man Shin advised.
"*sigh* I try my best to but things are just *sigh* I'll do better," Bruce Mother let out multiple sighs as she recalled just how much she had to work to cater to responsibilities.
Jobs around here paid very little.
Old Man Shin rubbed her shoulder in a bid to comfort her, "I made you dinner," He said while passing the packed up als to her.
"Oooouuhh Thanks so much Mr Shin," Bruce's mother was the only one who referred to Old Man Shin as Mr Shin and this would usually make his face bean up with a smile.
"The other one is for Bruce," He revealed.
"Speaking of Bruce, why don't I see him around here?" Old Man Shin questioned while looking around. The boy wasn't the type to play around so he felt maybe he was running a late night errand.
"Hmm? What do you an? Bruce should be back ho," Bruce's mother said with an expression of confusion.
"Back ho? No. I thought he was here," Old Man Shin responded.
"I haven't seen him since he left to go get so blankets hours ago. I thought maybe he got tired of staying here all day and slept off when he got back ho," Bruce's mother stated.
"Hours? When did he leave here?" Old Man Shin asked with his curiosity peaking.
"Soti around six pm..." Bruce's mother replied.
"Over four hours? That's too long..." Old Man Shin shook his head.
Bruce's mother instantly beca worried, "Oh my God... where could he be? Could sothing have happened to him? My son is..." She imdiately tried to get up while spitting out nurous questions.
"Stop... you need to relax," Old Man Shin imdiately stopped her from getting up.
"I can't relax! My son is out there! Anything could have happened to him..." Her breathing had turned hurried at this point. She didn't want her son to experience the sa thing she did.
"You are in no condition to do anything about this. I'm sure he is fine, just relax and let go check up on him. I may have made a mistake, maybe he was in and I just didn't notice," Old Man Shin tried to calm her down.
"But I..."
"Just let go and check for him... I'll be back within an hour or two. You take your dinner, okay?" Old Man Shin assured her.
"I can't..."
"Just let ," Old Man Shin remained adamant.
"*sigh* alright... Alright... please find him and bring him back to ..." She pleaded with tears gathering in her eyes.

Rows of rolling sands blazed across a wasteland filled with sands. About six hover cars could be seen speeding across the vicinity, side by side. Behind them were another three large off road trucks who were no slower in speed.
From the looks of things, they seed to be moving as a group. Up ahead a settlent could be spotted. They cruised forward non stop crashing through the walls barricading the entirety of the settlent.
Loud voices and cries rang out as the people within this settlent were instantly thrown into a state of panic.
-"What is going on?!"
-"Who are they?!
Loud voices could be heard as the natives spotted people in black jackets jumped out of the vehicles.
They grabbed one of the people around and proceeded to ask a single question.
"Where is the man who witnessed the star crash?"
##########
Old Man Shin had currently arrived at a the entrance of a small city. It was surrounded by lots of sands and barricaded by a large white wall.
It seed to be a mix between urban and dieval. This happened to be the sa city where DD's employer was located.
