Spades laid in the rubble of what had been a wall of the lab where Hearts was. He was reassured, weakly. Hearts would at least be fine for a while, but who knows what that monster would do to other people...

He had created a monster, and he hadn't even realized it. Now many people would pay for his poor decision. He rested his head on the ground, too drained of energy to even pick up his deck of cards.

Someone...must stop her.

Spades sat on the stoop of the place he had been to so many times before...and cried.

Hearts was gone...she had apparently killed herself. He had been too late, not been there for her when he should have been. Now she was dead, and not even his luck could save her now. He wiped away the tears furiously, got up, and threw his hat down into the rain-filled gutter. He wouldn't give it up...yet.

He had heard from some of his 'associates' that a scientist had taken Heart's body. He didn't know what they were doing to her body, and he didn't care. Hearts was his, and his alone.

He walked through a door dripping wet. He knew this was the place, luck didn't lie. Shadows covered his face as he stood in the shadows of the door. "I believe you have something of mine, doctor..." He flicked out a card menacingly. "And i can get very possessive." He frowned and walked in further.

Well...Things always have an interesting twist, ne?

I can't explain exactly what happened...Hearts went berserk, or something. I don't know if she still is or not. She broke out of my place the other day...

*Walks out into the rain and sits on a step, adjusting his hat*

I just hope she's fine. I don't know where I'd be without her.

*Flicks a card into the air and catches it and then stands up*

I'm going to find her...I need her.

Hnn...Had to go collect some 'debts'. It went well, overall. Not the most cooperative people in the world, but that is what I have to deal with.

Anyway, Hearts and I have been hanging around this bar that I found. It's never quiet, and most of the time we sit and watch. It can get boring sometimes, though...

Hnn...Just shows me how much I need a new job...

I am the Ace of Spades, controller of luck. -Flips out some cards and shuffles them- What to do, what to do.
