It was late evening and everyone in the office complex had left for the week, all but one security guard. “I know, but think of it this way sweetie…” The guard talked on her phone, most likely to a significant other, “After this weekend, I’ll have two weeks of paid time off. Maybe we can do that thing you’ve been wanting to do since Valentine’s Day.” She chuckled as she continued her conversation, clearly her mind was on other things than her job. Hours passed and nothing seemed to be eventful, the guard stared into the vast starry sky until a loud crash sounded off. With that, she got out of her station and ran towards the cause of the noise. A large man groaned as he picked himself up, brushing off the dust from the fall. “FREEZE SCUMBAG!” The guard shouted as she shined a flashlight into the intruder’s eyes, “Why are you trespassing on private property?”

“Easy lady, I just got lost okay.” The man said, it was clear he was lying through his teeth; with the rapid breathing, nervous twitching, and the sweat running down was a clear giveaway that he was running from something or someone.

“A likely story.” The guard said, “I need you to come with me, we can get things straightened out.” She tried to escort the man with her to the booth, but the man began to struggle and resist. The two began to argue with each other, resulting in the man punching the girl in her gut. “If that’s how you wanna do this, then fine.” It seemed throughout the entire scuffle the man never noticed that the girl had large robotic hands; if he wasn’t careful, she could crush his rib cage with a good well placed blow.

The man started to move around as to be tougher to hit; the guard prepped her fist to end this quickly, she started to throw a punch but the man evaded easily and punched her in the face. The guard got ready again to throw another punch only for the man to dodge again and swept her legs causing her to fall on her back. ‘Come on Mia… you’re really gonna let this punk show you up?’ Her thoughts were running wild as she was getting more and more irritated.

“What’s the matter, giving up already?” The guy asked, he knew he was going to bury this chick and was ready to end this fast. The guard tried something different and tried using both her hands in an attempt to break his back, she used what was left of her might in her attack, she slammed her fists into the ground and there was silence. She panted as she looked around, the intruder wasn’t there. Maybe he ran off or something; however this was not the case. In all the chaos, she didn’t notice the man grabbing her by the hips and kneeing her at the base of her spine. She screamed in pain as she fell down; she tried fighting through the pain, but it was pointless as the intruder quickly landed another painful blow in between her shoulders.

Mia didn’t think it would end this way, everything was going blurry as voices rang in her head. She just wanted this pain to end, the trespasser was more than happy to do it for her. He grabbed the sides of her head; he was cherishing the guards last moments right down to momentarily getting lost in her hot pink eyes. With a quick twist, he snapped her neck and let her body collapse onto the floor.

The man looked at the guard's body and thought, ‘what a waste of a supple and firm body.’ He looked for something to make dragging her body easier as he knew of a hideout not too far from the office complex. Now all he needed to do was check his to see if his connections were up for some taxidermy.
