Tommy was one person that most people did not mess with. It was not that way for Robin, she wanted Tommy dead. It was for the death of her partner. She had been with April for about ten years, she was killed because she asked too many questions. It was Robin that was the one that found her partners body in an alley way. She had been beat up badly then shot in the head, it was not pretty. That night Robin changed. she wanted Tommy and she wanted him dead. That was the only goal in her life and that was all that she put her time in on.

One night she thought that things were going cold, she got the tip that she needed. It came as a note slipped under the door of her house. It said "You want him, go to the dark horse bar, he will be there, this is your chance." That was all. Robin did what the note said and went to the bar. To her surprise there was Tommy at the end of the bar.

Robin - all she could see was red - she knew she could not do anything right now, she had to wait. There would be no way that she could get to Tommy now. So she waited till the bar closed till she could get to Tommy. As Robin waited she thought of what Tommy had done to April and that kept her awake. She did not want to miss this chance to get back at Tommy for what he did.

Then she saw him coming out of the bar. to her surprise he was alone. She made her way over to Tommy, drew her gun and shot him. She stood over him for a couple seconds. She knew that it was over that she could have some peace now.
