Bell stalked up the street, tailing her prey with deliberate steps. Today was equally busy on Monne Street, with the usual hust and bustle of 4 PM foot traffic. She noticed a few of the usual busses, shuttling around, and stopping at stops.
The person her brown eyes followed intently was sulking ahead. A demon, particularly someone rumored to be a secretary for the Grand President of Hell. They took a left down Caymen Street, and once she caught up: it seemed they had disappeared. She looked around, not missing her step, hands in pockets holding onto a string of beads, and a butterfly knife that was sheathed at the moment.
A few steps later, and she felt it. A sensation of her hair crawling up her spine. She ducked and rolled, having missed a strike from the secretary. "What the fuck?!" she exclaimed, coming back on her feet, hands out, already tossing the rope of beads at the demon. The demon retreated, and she groaned in annoyance.
Payment wasn't coming today. She waited a few minutes, with a concerned and excited crowd. Once nothing happened, the congestion ended, and she walked towards Merydon Drive, where a corner bar sat. There goes her target, who will now be hunting her, or more likely, sending his underlings to hunt her.
She opened the door, noticed that there was a crowd this evening, and checked her watch: Ah, that explains it. The 5 o clock game was just about to start. Making her way to the serving island in the bar, she chose a seat, and waited with her hand up to be noticed. Today was Dorian's day, if she remembered correctly. Maybe Dorian knows of her mark, since he was a self proclaimed artist, famous enough for galleries.

@delphic dreamer: You don't have to worry about length. I type a lot, that's all I hope it's a fun opening!
