Kyon arrived punctually at the steps leading to the central library. There was a busy street nearby with huge crowds of people, tents, lights, screams and lots of fun. There must be a street fair.
Suddenly, he had a slight tingling pain in his chest... Kyon guy frowned and prepared to take out his gun. He saw via his birds a throwing needle materialize out of nowhere. It was whooshing at an incredible speed somewhere from the roof. The energy inside it was phenomenal. The needle was aimed straight to his heart.
{Fuck!} – Kyon moved aside to protect the heart from the direct hit.
~bam~
The tight carbon skin didn't let the needle penetrate his. It worked like a usual blow and sent him a couple of meters flying. The impact injured the shoulder joint and cracked a bone.
{How did he survive?} - His killer was stunned. All of a sudden, the target aimed a shiny oblong object at her. After a bang, a small metal thing flew into her face.
