What happens

Noir (Japanese: ノワール, Hepburn: Nowāru) is a 26-episode Japanese anime television series created and written by Ryōe Tsukimura and produced by Victor Entertainment and Bee Train. The series was directed by Kōichi Mashimo, with Yoko Kikuchi, Minako Shiba and Satoko Miyachi in charge of character designs, Kenji Teraoka in charge of mechanical design, and Yuki Kajiura composing the music. Noir was followed by two spiritual successors, Madlax and El Cazador de la Bruja. Together, these series constitute a trilogy exploring the "girls-with-guns" genre. Outside of Japan, Noir has been released on DVD by ADV Films in North America and the United Kingdom and by Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand. After ADV closed, Funimation Entertainment acquired the North American rights to the series in 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
