	It was a time of day that no one was out, the lights were dimmed to mock a natural light-to-darkness cycle, and currently it was intimidating that of what dusk would be. A cigarette lazily rolled on his lips while he huffed out smoke and looked at the notepad to clarify that he was in the right place. “[color=B87333]Ten minutes late…[/color] he huffed out another cloud of smoke. “[color=B87333]Council members really piss me off.[/color]” The annoyance in his mumbled tone vibrated in the energy around him. 

That was when the other man approached him from a darker alleyway, he smirked, “[color=B87333]Took you long enough. Now why did you want to meet me?[/color]” Roach straightened up and faced the man that was around his age, maybe a little younger, or possibly older. It didn’t matter. He had done business with plenty of the council members. 

“[color=white]I need you to do a favor for me, Roach,[/color]” the low voice of the council member barely rang out while he grabbed a few printed pictures from under his jacket. “[color=white]You need to take care of these individuals,[/color]” he handed several pictures over to Roach and a disc. 

“[color=B87333]Who are they?[/color]” Roach asked while looking through the photos to notice they were all burrowers that illegally go in and out of Dominions walls or dwellers who were allowed in the cities but unfavored by society. Disgusting wastes of breath and resources. He hated the bunch with a passion and he glanced up to the council  member. “[color=B87333]Is there another purging of these people going on?[/color]” 

“[color=white]You don’t ask the questions, I do, now,[/color]” the man pointed at the pictures. “[color=white]All their names are written on the back, their whereabouts or places of work, and how dangerous they are to our society. If we want to keep moving forward, we need these [i]things[/i] eliminated,[/color]” the man had a poisonesses disgust for dwellers and burrowers and he wanted them all gone from the city. 

Roach nodded in agreement, “[color=B87333]Consider it done, boss,[/color]” he chuckled. “[color=B87333]I like the look of this one, I haven’t seen him on your radar before and he looks older. What’s so special about him?[/color]” he twirled the photo of Pilka in his fingers. 

“[color=white]That’s a burrower named Pilka, it comes and goes out of the city at times. An incident happened about a month ago with it and a young girl named Kara. A scientist. It beat her. She said it wanted information about the council but I doubt it cares about our doings. It probably was trying to keep her as a toy or something. You know how borrowers are, awful, and disgusting. There have been cases of [i]those[/i] creatures in the past stealing women and men from the city for god who knows what![/color]” 

“[color=B87333]Shhh. Keep your voice down,[/color]” Roach clenched his teeth with a hiss. “[color=B87333]I get it. He’s a problem. I’ll take him out. Consider all of them dead, gone, and done,[/color]” Roach gestured up the photoes before putting them into his pocket and twirling the disc. “[color=B87333]So what’s this about?[/color]” 

“[color=white]Video footage of all of them, especially Pilka. I want to see if you can figure out what it was saying to that girl, if you can’t, it’s whatever, but it might help you locate it easier,[/color]” the council member explained. 

“[color=B87333]Do you think h— it~ is coming around for this girl at all?[/color]” 

“[color=white]No, we haven’t seen it on camera. I doubt it is unless it has some sick fascination with our female citizens and that even gives more reason to take it out. It’s a problem and a threat to society.[/color]”

“[color=B87333]I got it. Like I said, consider it done, Council member [i]T—[/i][/color]” the man almost stated the council members name before the man shushed him. The council member waved him off and Roach nodded his head before they went their separate ways.
