The message came early morning, around 1:00 A.M. Felicity barged into his apartment without warning. Kordin, who was asleep with a book over his face, jump up and reached for his swords that were leaning against the nightstand. Felicity waved her hands, slightly alarmed.
"Hey! It's me!"
Kordin groaned, and set the sword he had ready to throw on the ground. He rubbed his eyes, and look at his clock.
"At least knock before you run in to ruin my good dreams. I was just getting my-"
Felicity ignored him, more pressed on the matter for which she came for. She almost skips to Kordin's bed and sits down, opening her hot pink purse. Kordin was still going on about his dream when she slapped him with a picture. Kordin jumped a little, and came back to the real world. Felicity giggled as she starts explaining everything.
"Well, you know how you took care of those bums? We got some more! They should be held up in this building." She points to the photograph, and hands it to Kordin for closer inspection. "They are really of no importance, but they just stole a major load of heroin from one of our local dealers. So, they need to die! Tehe! They should be at the top floor, maybe four guys. Go get 'em! Oh, and meet me back at the HQ when your done."
Kordin nods and starts grabbing his gear. It takes him a while to figure out that he's still in his underwear. Felicity was still there, giggling and smiling. Kordin threw a fake offended look.
"Do you mind? Privacy please!"
Later...
Tommy was trying to hide his grin. He had a royal flush, John and Norris already folded, but Jim still wanted to play. Tommy raised it to $50, Jim went all in. Tommy laughed as he called him. The hotel room was dimly lit, packs of the heroin was packed under the bed. The men were enjoying a late poker game night for a toast to their new found wealth. Most of these boys were mid 20's, rough, unshaven, your average hoodlums. Tommy threw down his cards, and Jim moaned. He only had a flush. Tommy grin wide as he took in the pot.
"Ya'll won't ever beat me, I'm just too goo-"
The lights turned off. Jim sighed, and his chair squeaked as he got up. As he walked over to the light switch, the sound of something cutting wind was heard in the room. The sound soon changed to the tearing flesh, and a quick yelp before a loud thud was heard on the ground. John and Norris pulled out their 22.'s and fired randomly at where Jim was. Their flashes from the barrels of the guns light the room for a second. You could see a cloaked figure making his way towards John, who started to yell as the man lifted his sword. Tommy felt something splash onto him. Norris's flash showed John's head falling off his body. Tommy started to run towards the window as Norris added his screams to the noise of the room. A sharp pain stung Tom in the shoulder, pinning him to the wall by the window. He struggled fiercely, but the blade only tore more into Tommy. He started to cry, as a new blade was drawn. Kordin let the flat side run down the back of Tommy, who then urinated his pants. Kordin stop at where Tommy's neck was.
"Astra have mercy on your soul."
Tommy felt the sword leave his neck and he closed his eyes. It seemed like forever until the sword touched his spinal core, and a great white light flashed into his eyes as his neck was severed from his body. Kordin walked over and turned the lights back on. The room was a mess of bullet holes, blood, and bodies. Kordin cleaned his two swords on the jacket of Tommy before putting them away. He searched the room quietly, finding the bags of drugs under one of the beds. He threw them over his shoulder and started to walk towards the door. The slight noise of a door opening made Kordin turn sharply towards the Bathroom. A man was there, shaking, scared, and had a shotgun. Kordin slowly set the bag down and raised his hands. The barrel of the shotgun shook, a risk of discharge was very high at this point. The man started to yell, most of it was non-sense.
"I'LL KILL YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY SIR! FOR YOU JUST KILLED MINE!"
Kordin nodded, and something popped from the other side of the room. Tommy fell of the blade, making a sick sound as the rest of the flesh was tore. The thud on the ground was enough to make the man look over. Kordin reached for his third sword, whipped it out, and threw it before the man could squeeze the trigger. His head did turn, to see the sword going between his eyes, knocking his body back into the bathroom door. He strolled in there, removing his sword from the man's head. There, he saw more bags in the bath tub. Curious, he opened one. It was full of cash. Looks like they hit the buyer as well as the drug dealer. Kordin cleaned his sword, and put it away. Now taking a total of 5 bags, he walks out of the hotel and starts the walk to his HQ, still covered in blood. |
