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

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

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

When he landed in Perth, David called Meyers but there was no answer. He called Sarah then and asked if she had learned anything.“I think so.” She started when the was a scuffle and Hensley’s voice came over the phone.“David, its Hensley. So, it seems there was a huge change in the last few days. I guess you weren’t around. Anyway, my father has been in meetings for hours with Thomas Gray. It seems that the Vice Lords were taken out, and some people from the provincial capital came to town. They are from the regional division of the Grayscale gang, which the gray dragons have to pay homage to.”“And?” David prodded.“And, Thomas Gray is not happy they came to town without asking him. These newcomers are giving him no face and just doing their own thing. They saw a new project being built and no tribute being collected. They took issue with that.” Hensley said helplessly.David suppressed
