Chapter 7 Hell emerges. Past
Death awoke the next morning and tucked the journal away in the floorboards. He was extremely secretive about just how twisted his past was. Just as he knocked the last board back in place a young woman came through his door. She is maybe twenty six. She's flashes a brillant white smile and him and runs over and gives him a hug. "Hey Bro glad to see you up. I just stopped by to give you and Evil a bit of green. I had a good night last night. About the other day when I said I hated you. I didn't mean it. You and Lil Evil are all I have after that night. You guys are family."
That night flashes into Death's memory like a movie. He and Lil Evil had been hired by a woman whose daughter was killed by this man named Diablo Angelo. He was a small time punk who forced women into prostitution. They were not to kill anyone including Diablo. They were too just go and retrive the woman's daughter. Unfortunately right after they recieved their payment the woman was killed in a drive by shooting. "I say we do this anyway, Death. I mean we have the payment."
"I agree." The two enter the dark alley in which at the back was a door leading to an empty warehouse. Well officially it was empty. In truth it was Diablo's home. It was ran like a strip club but in truth was a brothel. Diablo forced women who owed him money into being a working gal. As the brothers got closer to the door they pulled their guns. Death flashes a quick smile and kicks the door off its hinges. "Nobody move. If you move I will shoot you." A man sprints towards him and Death fires one shot. It slams into the man's head and a second later a body falls to the ground.
Lil Evil walks a couple step forward and begins to speak. "We are looking for Diablo. We are not here to kill anyone. We are here to retrive a young girl. We will not speak her name only show a picture to Diablo then be on our way after we have her." From the back of the large room emerges a man. He has long black hair that is pulled tight into a ponytail. His skin is scarred and tattooed. He looks like every other smalltime crook on Vegas's streets.
"I am Diablo. How do I know I can trust you?"
Death answers him. "You can't but do know that if you don't release the girl that I will kill you." He taps the guns against his chest and smiles again. Diablo motions for them to follow and they finally reach his inner haven. Its a dark room and there is three women chained to the wall. They are dancing. When noone is looking Death releases the nearest chain from the wall. He winks at the woman and follow the others to a table. As they sit Lil Evil begins to speak.
"We are only here for this one girl. Personally we don't care what you do here but we were hired by this girl's mother to get her back. We bring with us the payment we recieved to do this task. All twenty five thousand is yours if you let her go. Her name is Rochelle Namtih. On the streets her nickname is Virus. This is her." Lil Evil pushes a photo across the table.
"Yes that's her there." He points a large finger in the direction of the woman Death just released. The woman is nearly at the door but Diablo is over there in a second and brings his hand down hard on the woman's face. Lil Evil slams into the man and begins to slam fist after fist into the man's head. Five minutes later the man loses conciousness and Lil Evil stands up and walks away. Death however walks over and grabs a glass of wine off the counter. He splashes it in Diablo's face. As he sputters awake Death places the barrel of the gun to Diablo's temple.
"You shouldn't have ever laid your hands on a woman in violence. For that the penalty is death. Tell Satan hi for me." His finger pulls hard and there is a sound not unlike an egg exploding. Death stands and grabs the woman's hand. "You'll be safe with us. Come."
The memory is swept away as Virus touches his hand. "I really you two a lot. Thanks again for coming to save me."
"No problem." Virus gets up and walks out the door. A second later there is an explosion and the front door of the hideout disappears. Death sprints over but Virus is gone. He begins to holler her name as Lil Evil appears. From behind them comes the sound of a shotgun cocking.
"Down now both of you." The man standing there is dressed in all black with a mask on. As the brothers get on the ground he pulls the mask off. Death recognizes him instantly.
"Savior. What the fuck are you doing?"
"Sorry boys. Just business. I was offered a lot of money to kidnap Virus. Oh and to leave you this." Savior is six five and built like a soldier. He was one of two Reapers who became the best of the best. The other was Death. However while Death had left the system Savior had embraced it and became the leading assasion for them. But when Project Reaper was disbanded and Lenap disappeared Savior joined Free Lives. His hands reach deep into the pocket and he tosses down a very small cell phone. "Enjoy your night. Later." He throws Virus over his shoulder and walks out the door. Lil Evil jumps up and begins to run out the door but sees the trip wire. Savior had rigged the entire outside perimeter.
"He's a pro. Maybe a little trigger happy at times but he's good at what he does."
Death is cut off as the phone begins to ring. Lil Evil registers the ringtone as Amazing Grace as he answers it. Panel is on the other end. "So how about you reconsider that job I offered? Either that or we vaccinate Virus."
"We'll take the job."
