Domino

Cairo Egypt AD1985 Domino gripped her baby tightly as she scowled at the people swarming below. Cairo, her baby, suckled on her thumb. While Cairo the city, lay simmering beneath the hotel window. "Look at them..." Domino muttered to her wide-eyed infant, nodding down to the swarm of cars and people on street below, ..".never trust them, not one of them. They will fail you. All of them..." She turned her cold green eyes away from the teeming street to stare into the warm trusting eyes of her baby, ..". For when you fall in fear and pain, they will not come to you." She stepped back into the room, where the father of the baby lay in a bloody puddle. A soft but urgent knock turned her eyes to the door, "Who's there?" She called. It was Franco; he spoke through the door, "The car is ready mistress." Seconds later she faced him in the doorway saying, "He..." She motioned to the man prostrate on the floor, ..".will not be coming."
