Ordinarily, now would have been a good opportunity to stir up trouble. But Hit-Girl below merely held her rifle and watched through the scope, with no intention of firing.
The safety on her gun was still on, and her little finger was nowhere near the trigger.
Su Ming was a little curious. If she was not here for the skull, then what was she doing here? Was she simply out to kill someone? Did either of these two groups contain her target?
That did not seem likely. The men in suits were italian gangsters, judging by their English accents, and had no connection to her. As for the group dressed like emo punks, they were clearly not a local New York gang. They were all wearing several layers of pants, with the waistbands hanging below their asses. That was obviously West Coast style.
Since she had neither old grudges nor recent enmity with them, Mindy's primary target would not be either group.
So, was she waiting for someone?
Waiting for whom? Was her target among other gangs hoping to rob the robbers? Or was she waiting for other Superheroes who had received the same news?
Right. With Kick-Ass gone, she was probably looking for a new partner and sidekick, wasn't she? That explained it.
Although Hit-Girl was highly capable, she had developed a deeply ingrained habit of operating in a team. The tactics she had been taught since childhood had always involved working in pairs.
When she was young, she acted together with Big Daddy, watching each other's backs. After her father died, she partnered with Kick-Ass. Again, there were two of them.
It was like a compulsion. She had developed many mental illnesses at a very young age, and excessive dependence on a partner was one of them.
