Welcome to Astan, the busy city located no where on the radar. It's really hard to find.

It's filled with crime, horror, and mystery. Astan has tall buildings, stores, reseraunts, banks, hotels, anything you need in a city. So enjoy you're visit!

Just a few rules...

Sam

I get to the bank I've been eyeing and peek through the windows, gun in hand and sack at hip, tied to my belt. My long black hair tied pefectly in a high ponytail, I fix my crystal blue eyes before walking in. People look at me and I grin, "Everyone drop to the floor! Hands behind you're head, and I won't hurt anyone!" I order. The girl at the counter screams and I chuckle at it, everyone dropping and making they're way to the walls.

"No one move," I say, lowering my gun and glancing behind me. I walk up to the counter and throw the bag on the counter, "Ten million. In the bag," I order. She sees my gun and doesn't hesitate, filling the bag with wads of cash.

But then I hear sirens.

Sh*t.

Louis

"Bank robbery, Fourth and Main," Andy reports, repeating what I'd already heard from the radio.

Ignoring him, I put the car in gear and flip the sirens on, leading the pack of squad cars to the crime in progress. Once there, Andy hops out and begins surrounding the area with the others, leaving me to call in the situation. I catch sight of a girl inside, the robber more than likely, and take a moment to compose myself.

Sucks being a rookie.

I call it in and pick up the phone to start negotiations with the hostile, the phone in the bank ringing.

Sam

The phone rings and everyone freezes, uncluding me, "Don't. Move," I repeat, walking to the phone and checking caller ID. Ugh.

Answering it, I speak quick, "What."

Louis

The girl answers and I remember everything I'd learned, "This is Officer Hathaway with the Astan City Police Department. May I ask you to put the gun down? We just want to talk."

Sam

I see the back door and grin, the police probrably not surrounded the back. "Nope," I hang up and run out, the bag with me over my shoulder. I run into the ally and hide behind a trashcan, waiting until they leave to reveal myself.

Louis

I swear and watch everyone rush into the building, shaking their heads when they find she's gone.

Sam

They all rush in, only to find I'm gone. Once they leave, I sigh and reveal myself, walking onto the sidewalk and hiding the bag of cash in my backpack sorta thing.

Louis

I listen to my superior's lecture and drive back to the station to clock out. Once done with my paperwork, I head home to my apartment on Fifth and cook dinner in the dark.

Sam

I get to my apartment and see that police officer. Finding him pretty cute, I hide behind a wall and watch him walk into his apartment. Great. A police officer lives in the same community as me. Wonderful.

Once he's out of sight, I head a few doors down to mine, unlocking it and walking inside. I eat a slice of leftover pizza before popping open a bottle of old wine and watching old shows on T.V.

Louis

Finished making dinner, I sit on the couch and turn on the TV to an old black and white movie. I sigh and sit back with a beer as I eat, watching the television.

Sam

I pass out around one o'clock with the wine still in my hand and the T.V still on.

Louis

Sighing, I wash the dishes and head to bed, closing my eyes in wait of the next day.

Sam

I wake to my alarm and sigh, standing and changing into all black. A chain dangles from my front pocket to my back and my shirt cuts off at my belly button, letting my hair down loose. I make my way out to make arrands, humming a song.

Louis

I wake the next morning and quickly ready for a long day at work, bumping into a familiar looking girl in the hallway of the apartment complex. Apologizing, I step out of the way and allow her to pass while trying to remember where I'd seen her before.
