steps to nothing

Luka arrived at the airport his emerald green eyes searching for his ride. A member representative of station forty three held up a sign with his name. He dragged his suit case towards the man and as soon as he spotted Luka he led the way to the parked suv outside. Guiding him to the assigned driver he excused himself.

Soon they were on the road , Luka held some documents regarding the criminal he was hunting. The driver tried to keep a casual talk but the cold responses from Luka made it nearly impossible. Due to the unusual heat wave, Luka took the water that was kept on the cup holder. Suspecting nothing about the sealed water bottle, Luka continued perusing the documents slowly losing consciousness. The driver, noticing his sudden unresponsive state simply laughed thinking that the simplicity of trapping him was to easy. He changed the route planning to head south of the initial trail.

Soon, the night was evident on the sky and the driver had parked and already began inspecting his luggage as he laid on the floor unconscious. With hazy blurry vision and a head aching worse than earthquackes, Luka woke up to the sight of the driver holding his watch. With anger due to the waking of his victim the driver simply kicked his gut making him bleed out of his mouth. Enought was enough and Luka stood ashamed he was made a fool of. With a simple uppercut he knocked the guy out holding the unsuspecting man by his shirt. Pushing him against the car, he handcuffed him saying how he had the worst luck landing in his hand. Laying him on the ground he ordered for him not to move.

Looking round, there was no car in sight and knowing he wouldn't be able to find a cab he took out his phone. Calling the contact written 'M'. The tired response of a woman was heard from the other line,"You have some gut calling me in the middle of the night." Luka getting irritated simply asked the other line to come pick him up and gave her the address indicated on the bill board.

Cutting the call he wiped his blood of his face and started suching for the guy. Seeing him already having a head start in running away, he spat blood on the ground and cursed out before chasing him. After catching him he brought him back and this time cuffed him to the pole nearby. Seeing the keys to the car he took them trying to start the car. At first success but after some minutes the car battery died. In his mind he wondered how unlucky he was. Deciding to take a rest after the tiresome journey, he slept. The driver seeing this planned his second escape and began picking the lock almost awakening Luka. Making his escape the man dashed out as soon as he saw the chance.

Out of all odds Luka saw him and simply chased after him not expecting his early start to be of any aid. After a hard tackle they walked back to the car, the man eerily disappointed.On the way back the figure of a woman in the distance brought a faded smile Luka. Not surprising , the driver was shoked to see a faded smile on this hellish man.

"Who's she?"he asked.

"Our ride,"Luka briefly responded

Approaching Myra he simply said that she was late.The regard made her cross her arms and simply reply that he could stay back. "That's how you welcome your senior?" he said not even flinching a muscle as he.put the criminal at the back seat. "No need, since someone already took the chance," she said in her pajamas as she walked close to greet him. Stretching her arm out she simply said that he owed her. Luka just looked at her hand simply reaching out for the keys to drive. "Well then I'll drive and you can sleep since you've dressed the part," his words pointing out the obvious as he entered the car shutting the door. She simply stared at the hand retracting it before silently cursing at him.
