2025-09-30 00:00:50Over night, Danny Strong was furiously ordering his men to investigate. Who the FUCK was this David guy?
Flinn Gold had been tied to a chair and beaten to within an inch of his life before Danny sent him to be delivered to Tryon’s doorstep as an apology.
While Danny didn’t care about David much, offending the Tryon girl was a death sentence. Thomas Gray would have his head by morning when he heard that they had attacked Hensley’s roommate, and for so little coin.
If they were going to take that kind of risk, it had better come with a hell of a lot bigger pay day.
“Sir, report from our men in the provincial capital say there are no surnames David that they know of.”
Danny drummed his fingers on the desk. “Flinn said the contract came from Harlow group? Bold, trying to kill off their own. Send them a message.”
“The physical kind?” A brawler asked.
‘YES the physical kind! That&r

Over the next week, contractors continued to put finishing touches on the training ground while other crews began to break ground on the first factory in the new industrial area. A third crew brought in heavy equipment and set to clearing a section of forested land for a new neighborhood that would be dedicated to Harbinger workers and staff in the future.David was disappointed that Sarah had not fought harder within her family to secure the Harbinger contract. Instead, Steven had been waiting at the Perth Center almost every day, attempting to sign the contract.Meyers had expressed his interpretation of the events and suggested waiting them out to see if Sarah would get a chance when Steven utterly failed.David was of a mind to ignore the situation all together. While the Harlow group might offer some entry level skills and industry knowledge, he was not going to go out of his way to grace them with a lucrative contract if they could not abide by simple requ

David gave chase, enjoying once again having a worthy opponent to spar with.Nyx charge the first floor, weaving over and under barriers, diving head first into low tunnels and scurrying through a maze of loose hanging wire entanglements. David kept up, pacing himself just a breath behind her.While he was only just a tad faster than her, he wanted to see the whole course in action. Nyx would be one of the few who could flawlessly complete it at a speed worthy of his efforts.This course was designed to push ones endurance as well as demanded a high level of agility, quick thinking, and total awareness of ones surroundings. Fighting in such a challenging environment was not a matter of simply evading your pursuer but figuring out how to use every element to move you into position to strike while attempting to mitigate your opponents advantages.As they entered the second floor, There were a series of thick metal walls and door ways laid out to resemble an

Several days later, Mayor Hedley stood at a podium in front of the small sheriff’s office talking to the press.“We are not yet sure if this was motivated by the recent decline of the Timothy family business, but we are investigating. Now, I want to turn this over to Mr. Meyers, the Harbinger group’s spokesman.”“Thank you mayor Hedley. Citizens, I want you to know that the Harbinger group is committed to the city of Perth and it is our pledge that something like this will not be permitted to happen in the future. While we planned to have this as a joyous occasion to rename the tower as the Perth Center, instead, we stand here to dedicate it to those lives lost.”There was a moment of somber silence before Meyer’s continued.“Harbinger Group intends to see all of its staff safe, so today we are announcing a five BILLION dret investment in a new security firm that will work hand in hand with the existing Pert

David chuckled and then intoned, “For liberty to prevail, the rulers must be warned from time to time that their people still posses a spirit of resistance. What are a few lives lost, when shed to preserve the people? The tree of liberty, the great ideal, must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is nature’s manure. See to it that most of that blood comes from the evil doers who violate the basic laws of life.”“And what basic laws are those?” the sheriff asked, “Cause the law of the realm is not to kill.”“Life, liberty, and your own property. These are basic tenants of the world. You forfeit your right to these when you take them from another.” David answered.“And you will carry out such a sentence?”“I will. Now, I have other things to do. See to this. I will have a crew here tonight to clean up.”“What about a report? What a

David cupped the back of Nathaniel’s neck and pulled him close so their foreheads met, “Brother, it's going to get worse before it gets better. These men did not stay their blades before the innocent. They kill indiscriminately. This cancer needs to be cut out of society. Are you with me, to see a brighter future for the people?”“We work in the dark to serve the light. To protect the people, against all enemies, be it fae or foe, from within and without, faithfully we defend .” Nathaniel intoned. He let out a long sigh before looking David in the eye with a fierce grin, “I guess this is the within part. Never quite figured the domestic enemies would be worse than those on the battlefield.”With a heavy sigh, he said, “I am with you sir, to the bloody end.”“Good man. Now, get that soon to be corpse to somewhere Nyx and I can pump him for information later. Ah, and Nyx requests a holding pen… thi

There was a moment of silence before the man said, “I tire of this.” And he shot the guard in the head. “Pay, or next will be your man servant.”The body hadn’t even hit the floor when David raised his pistol and shot four rounds. The man fired at nearly the same time, one round sailing past David’s ear and two more thumping into the wall near Estad and Meyers.Two of David’s shots smacked into the man’s shoulders while the other two shot through the man’s feet that were still propped on the desk, shattering bone and tissue.The man screamed for backup that would never come, as his pistol toppled from his hand.Kathren screamed through the tape on her mouth and fainted, speckles of blood dripping down her face and neck.“FUCK,” David cursed as he strode over and kicked the gun away from the gangster. “Bastard. You didn’t have to shoot him!”David punched the
