2. Where Are We Now?
After having to research on what I need to survive subzero temperatures; and go out to buy the necessities of the items I need for the trip. I think-- actually no, no I'm not ready I am in panic mode.
I'm already beginning to second guess trying to find this guy, maybe I should search elsewhere first before trying Antarctica.
But guess what? I'm already set going there, if I remember correctly from what I heard from the crew. They're going to arrive in an hour, I can already feel the temperature decrease. Man I wish I didn't sneak onto here. I can't get back unless they go back!
Just calm down, Y/N. You never let a bounty go unclaimed, you can do this. Just search the area and if he's not here we leave... only if they head back to non-Antarctica land. Sigh... the things I do for money I barely spend.

After what I assume is an hour, the boat came to a stop. I was hiding where the cargo was so I had to be wary as to not get caught. While I had the chance I 'escaped' from the boat and on to the Antarctic Peninsula. Gosh I really hope he is here, it'll make my search a whole lot easier.
I began my search for 'Niran Pruksamanee' in the cold peninsula, I forgot how big it was so I'll just search for... maybe three days and call it quits. Steal the boat if those scientists aren't heading back any time soon.
Honestly, I wish something could happen that could just make him appear right in front of me. Saves me time and effort from looking endlessly for hours or days on end. Also gets me my money quicker.
Slowly but surely, I tried to see if I could find anything. Like a research facility or something, I know scientists sometimes stay here to find things on this continent. Considering the man I am looking for is wanted due to some scientifical discovery (yes I did my research), he could be in one of them.
But... now... I don't think I was fully prepared at all. The sun doesn't fucking move so I can't tell how long it's been, but it's definitely been a while according to my mental time.
But it's so fricking cold and I don't know what to do, I might just die out here. I already feel my movements slowing down as I continue to walk, getting slower, and slower, and slower, and slower...
I think.. I think this might just be my end.
I can feel my breathing begin to get heavier, it's getting difficult to breath in this cold temperatures. I... am... getting... slower...
Shit. I'm dying, I am so so dead right now. Fuck. Maybe I shouldn't have taken that fucking job, maybe I am like those greedy bastards that only take on high bounties.
Half a billion is not worth dying for, but here I am. In the middle of Antarctica, slowly dying a slow death. I'd end it all right here if I wanted to but I can't. My hands are way too cold to even grab my gun, then again I can't even reach it right now.
Oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I'm getting dizzy, I'm losing consciousness. Shit.
I don't think I can walk any further...
I come to a halt as I try to fight back, trying to maintain my breathing, my walking. I am done for.
I don't even know what I want to think about in my last moments... other than the fact this 'Niran' guys is just being a bitch. Just give up and turn yourself in if some big guys like Vishkar are after you. Since I'm failing right now, I really do hope someone finds this motherfucker and turns him in. Get your bag, I'll watch as a ghost once he gets caught.
My body gave out and I fell on the snow, my vision started getting blurry. As I looked up to try and crawl a little further, just to get some distance. I see a pair of legs right in front of me. I guess someone was here but only now do they help?
It didn't matter at that point as I lost consciousness...
*~~~*
The man walked up to the body and checked the woman's pulse, "She's still alive, we should take her in before her condition gets worse."
"But what if she's someone Vishkar hired?" The scientist with the man started, "If we save her she might as well take your life." He protested.
"Are you saying we should let a life die only because you assume they're violent? Even if they are, a slow death is a cruel punishment." He carefully picked up the body, "Let us start their recovery, if they have any weapons on hand we'll simply confiscated."
The other man sighed, "Has anyone ever told you how sympathetic you are, Lifeweaver."
Lifeweaver smiled, "This time just might be the first."
