Hearing the keys hit the pavement Koda's head whipped in the direction of the sound and when he saw the little feline standing there he narrowed his eyes on her.  A witness?  What the hell was she doing here?  As she turned and took off he growled and sheathed his blades behind him, dropping on all fours he took off after the female and caught up to her rather easily.  The fact that she'd slowed down to ditch her heels had been his big saving grace and on top of that, he didn't have high octane fear flowing through him.  Skidding around the bumper of a car he stood in front of her and locked a hand tightly around her throat.  With her momentum and then the sudden stop due to his hand, he lifted her off of the ground and slammed her body onto the hood of a car, holding her by the throat as he reached behind him with his free hand and drew his blade.  Lifting his hand high, he twirled the handle in his fingers, spinning the blade so that the razor tip was pointed down right over her heart.   She was a witness, wrong place at the wrong time.  It was unfortunate but she should have just kept her mouth shut and walked in the opposite direction.<br/><br/>She'd seen his face and was the only thing that would be able to directly link him to the murders.  However as he held the blade above her, he couldn't deliver the killing blow.  He'd killed several people who'd seen him before.  Both male and female.  Why was he having a hard time with this feline?  Why wasn't she begging for her life, not a word actually.  Sure she was scared, it showed plain as day, but now that she was caught, she was silent as the dead.  Apparently someone had heard her cries and rather than come help her themselves, they just called the cops because his ears twitched as he heard the faint sound of sirens.  Growling a bit he brought the blade down but at the last minute he slammed the handle of the blade into her stomach to knock her out.  Direct impact to the solar-plex would not only knock the wind out of her, but it would also cause the mind to momentarily shut off and restart.<br/><br/>Lifting her limp frame he grabbed her heels and her keys, not leaving a single trace of her being there as he carried her around the corner to a black SUV parked.  Setting her in the trunk he tied her wrists and ankles with strong para-chord and gagged her as well.  Shutting the trunk he drove carefully, not speeding but avoiding any major roads.  He made a few random turns to make sure he wasn't followed before heading to a home out in the country.  His drive way alone was over a mile long and it was nothing but woods.  The Capital was a good thirty miles away and the nearest town was ten miles west of his home.  Taking his witness to one of his spare rooms he dumped her on the bed and simply left her there as he shut and locked the door behind him.  He'd dropped her in the only room in the house that had no windows.  Every room was sound proofed and every room had multiple camera's to show every angle of the room.  Once she was dealt with, he headed to his basement which was also his weapons room.  Taking his blades off and his armor, he set up a laptop of keep an eye on his prisoner as well as clean his weapons and send a message to his employer to pay attention to the news.
