Synopsis[]
While acting as Eva's bodyguard, Martin becomes determined to protect Eva, even from Tenma, who is searching for Eva. But Eva has found the person she needed to find and their professional relationship is at an end.
Summary[]
Martin remembers when he met Tenma at a diner. Tenma asked for Eva and told Martin that he wanted to see her, but he was beaten by Martin who kicked him out of the diner.
After another party, Eva is invited for dinner by Peter Čapek and Martin heads for the diner. Tenma arrives at the restaurant again. Upon entering, he draws a gun at Martin, who then explains that he was hired by The Baby. Tenma points out that there must be someone higher in the organization, namely Čapek, but Martin says that he has only seen him and knows nothing else about him.
Martin explains that Eva has been going to parties as part of her job and that in the latter, she pointed at a blond young man with a pretty face who was later introduced to Christof Sievernich. Tenma figures that this might be her last job and Martin remembers of what Eva said about being killed when her job was over. Martin rushes to find Eva. Martin arrives at the restaurant where Eva and Čapek were having dinner and Čapek order him to kill Eva. Martin meets with Eva at an hotel room and proposes that they run away together.
Martin has a flashback to his childhood, when he was carrying his drunk mother back home. His mother asked him to leave her in the street because she wanted to sleep, but Martin argued that she might die if she froze.
Martin visits the diner when he learns that Tenma left a note with his address. Martin then goes to one of the parties alone, where he observes and tails Christof Sievernich to his hotel room. Sievernich finds him standing outside of his room and invites him.
Christof tells him that "he" will soon be there. Martin starts talking about the end of the world and then he talks about Martin who, surprised, realizes that Christof knows a lot about his life. Christof then talks about how his former girlfriend shot herself and how his mother froze to death, pointing that women in Martin's life usually die. Christoff says that Eva wants to die too. Martin leaves.
As he is leaving, Martin passes Johan in the hallway on his way to the room but decides not to look at him.
