The mercenary hired to wipe out this group of bandits was behind her before she knew it. She put her hands around the head of her prey.
"So cute," she said, giggling. "It's a shame you have to die."

The bandit opened her mouth as if she was about to scream, but before she could make a sound her head was jerked over her shoulder with a sickening crunch.

The bandit went limp except for her faintly twitching limbs.

The mercenary dropped her victim to the ground.
"She looks so peaceful laying dead like that," she thought.

The mercenary stripped the dead martial artist's clothing off. Admiring her body, she thought about how much of a waste it was to kill such a young beautiful woman. It's a shame that one such as her chose to resort to a life of crime.

"Thanks for the costume," said the mercenary to the almost nude corpse, "It'll help me sneak in to kill the rest of your dumb bandit friends."
