a night of blood, drinks and more blood

the Stuntman is walking on a dark alley. he looks at a dead body on the ground. he cleans the blood from the knife that he is holding. he knows that there are blood stains on his shoes and on parts of his clothing but in this city blood in someone's clothing is one of the most normal things to see even when the Heroes and Police officers are in control there is no day without crime and has become more obvious on this latest days.

the Stuntman receives a message informing him of jobs that he has to do. he has already finish every job that he has on this city. he only took a few extra jobs to spend more time with his pals but with Walter's arrest he has no reason to not leave the city.

the only reason why he haven't left already is because he wanted to say goodbye to his friend the Drainer before finally leaving the city. right now he is on his way to a bar in which he agreed to go and drink with the Drainer. the Stuntman takes his coat off and he throws it on the floor. he keeps walking.

after a few minutes the Stuntman is on his way to the bar. he looks at Daisuke waiting for him. Daisuke walks really fast towards him and he hugs him. Daisuke is angry because he knows that Walter is innocent and that all the 'evidence' is fake. he can't believe that a good man is in prison just for been honest and the only good man who has enough balls to go after the corrupt officials of the city.

the Stuntman gets inside of the bar. Daisuke keeps talking about their friend. the Stuntman sits slowly feeling a bit of pain in a buttock (he was shot in there two days ago) Daisuke asks him if he wants to go to a party that he is going to organize in four moths to celebrate the birthday of his brother. the Stuntman is looking silently at the table.

the Stuntman takes a key with a key chain covered on blood and he puts it on the table. he looks at Daisuke and he tells him that he has to leave the city. the Stuntman tells him that his work on the city is done and that he wants him to take care of whatever is inside of the locker that the key opens.

Daisuke tells him that he is going to miss him. they start drinking beers. Daisuke tells him that he used to be like him on the past. he admits with pain that he was a corporal assassin ( assassins that work for a special organization/ corporation without any freedom) only following the orders that were given to him. Daisuke keeps drinking. later Daisuke confesses that he became more free and alive once he left the corporal assassin life and took the life of a Villain.

the Stuntman feels rare thinking about a life with freedom and decisions. a life out of his assassin style. he asks to Daisuke if there is really a difference in between an assassin and a Villain. Daisuke tells him that he keeps taking assassin jobs but mostly all the work that he does includes robing banks, destroying property and other thousands of things.

"the only true difference from my life before Arturo and now, is that now if I take an assassination job is because I want to. before I was forced to kill without being asked if I wanted to do it. I am free to live the life I want and not the life that was given to me. for that single reason I had been envious of the freedom with which my little brother lives."

the two friends are drinking slowly to feel better. there are things that are needed to be said in this last night of drinks. after few drinks both of them are feeling better. Daisuke is already drunk but he doesn't seem different from when he is sober just a bit sleepy. the Stuntman is somewhere dancing and drinking like a wild animal.

two hours earlier on the borders of the city.....

Don Gratiano Bellucci and Domingo Plazas are taking care of some 'products of quality' that are being send from Tinto City and Ut-Obliviscatus city. Domingo Plazas is the second biggest distributor from those two cities. Don Gratiano Bellucci is just trying to see if the 'product' is good. Don Gratiano is liking the 'product' so far.

"so what you think of how I do things or the kind of 'products' I can bring to the city? I mean making a big deal with you is just the beginning of our great association, out partnership is going to take us to great places."

"yes, I can see that. sadly my cousin Aristide doesn't have the mind to see this kind of thing or the future of the business. he is more of a modern boy with modern ideas that keep him away from the viewpoint of a great businessman like ourselves."

"yes, your cousin Aristide is good at what he does but is not in our level when is about dealing with the business. don't worry he will grow eventually."

"I just want to make something clear. as long as I am still alive our partnership will never end. I need of your 'product' and you need of the money that is given for that great 'product.' I am thinking of having ourselves a conversation with Congressman Mark C. Miller Jr. who is a friend of us but who has different deals with each."

Don Gratiano asks to one of his employees to bring him a coffee. tonight is a really cold night and he really needs of something to warm his body. Domingo Plazas also asks for a coffee. there are two more trucks coming with more 'products.' Don Gratiano Bellucci gets his phone out of his pockets and he tries to send a message to his cousin. he sends a message to someone special to him.

an hour later at a Private Laboratory.....

Ted Wayne Whitley and Vladimir Petrov are having a meeting with Professor Barnett Villan. the Professor needs of them because there are things that he needs to fulfill the experiment that he took. they bring him the materials and corpses and he pays them. that is the type of deal he wants to start with them.

Vladimir has already helped him with a few materials for his lab but that is not enough. he needs the help of someone like Ted Wayne Whitley who has more control ever all kinds of merchandise. this deal is not eternal of course. he only needs of them now but once the project is finish he isn't going to have use of them.

Ted Wayne Whitley is a cunning serpent who keeps adding names to his list of 'friends' with the idea that he is going to stay 'loyal' to who ever wins in the end. this whole bloody war is nothing but a game to him. the more powerful are his allies the less near he feels his death. Ted is conscious of who is Professor Villan.

Professor Barnett Villan is already in the list of the most wanted Villains in other countries. his experiments are so inhuman and lethal that he is considered one of the most psychotic and cruel intelligent minds. no one can doubt that he is a fucking genius, but he also is extremely evil. one thing nobody knows about him is his participation with the organization that is letting him do whatever he wants. also it was believed that he was dead since five years ago.

Vladimir Petrov wants to end the contract so he can leave the city. he is tired of all the bullshit. Vladimir lost a lot in the raid that took place a few days ago. there were some of his men that survived that day. he is the fourth biggest gangster in the cost of the country.

Ted tells to Professor Villan that he is responsible and that he wants to know about the kind of work that he is doing. Professor Villan tells him that his work is private and that no one needs to know until it is finish. Professor Barnett Villan is private about his experiments and he usually avoids revealing anything important.

Vladimir leaves them alone. Professor Barnett Villan takes a tablet from the lab and he shows a video to Ted. in the video the guys in the lab are trying to bring back to life a dead body and the body only wakes up for minutes before dying again. Ted puts carefully the tablet away and he looks nervously at the Professor.

"what the fuck is this?"

"the future of my little project. the future of the Villains. I would show to the world a new whole different kind of evil."

later on the dark and cold city.....

Mark C. Miller Jr is in a car. Lethal Stinger is driving the car. there are two bodyguards with them. Mark C. Miller Jr is looking at his phone and answering to some of his business partners. Lethal Stinger tells him that he is done with the work that he told him to do the last time. Mark C. looks up and he asks him if there was a lot of blood. Lethal Stinger smirks before telling him that there was a lot of blood.

"you see that is what I love. a good dog who does whatever I ask him to do. you see that man driving the car, he is my good old loyal dog. I had kick him and let him days without eating but here he is like the good loyal dog that he is."

"I know sir, I am a dog and I am glad to be your dog. you have done so much good for me and my people that I can't stop being loyal to the hand that feeds us. I don't care if I had to be a dog if that means that you would be happy with my work sir."

"you see guys that is what a real dog looks like. he thinks that I like it when he licks my boots but he is so wrong. I hate fucking loser dogs like him who have no self respect."

Lethal Stinger smiles swallowing the little pride he has left. the man who he calls his boss has stepped on him so many times that he thinks that sooner or later he would get used to that but every single time that he makes fun of him he feels greater anger. he keeps asking to himself the same thing. why am I not worthy of respect?

Mark C Miller Jr has been making fun of Lethal Stinger for a long time but he doesn't care about whatever Lethal Stinger can feel. Mark C only cares for him and his reputation. he receives a call from one business partner asking him to take better care of his son who is fighting in a bar. Mark C ends the call. he is not even surprised that his useless son is creating problems for him.

"change of plans. we can go home later. I need you to go to that bar in which the useless bastard goes to drink and fight."

"yes sir, I know what bar you are talking about. I will be there in about ten minutes."

Lethal Stinger keeps driving. Mark C calls someone and he asks about a dinner that is going to take place in his home. Mark C laughs loudly as he keeps talking with his business partner. he ends the call when the car stops. Mark C gets out of the car and he walks inside of the bar. Lethal Stinger is texting with the other members of the Santa Muerte League.

Mark C gets out of the bar dragging his drunk son. they get inside of the car. Lethal Stinger drives back to Mark's home. in the way Jonathan is cleaning the blood from his mouth and nose. Mark is tired of the bullshit of his son.

minutes before midnight on Arturo's home...

Fumiko and Arturo are having dinner (he took all the day to cook something decent) Akio Miyagawa is eating with them. Akio starts playing the guitar and he sings a romantic song (Arturo asks him to do that early in the morning) Fumiko laughs finding the situation more funny than romantic.

"you know I am taking really serious this thing about our contract and I haven't see you with any other gentleman. so I was thinking that maybe we can, I don't know make our relationship official."

Fumiko is speechless to see him talking about a relationship as if it was nothing. she knows that to start a relationship you need to give a part of you. you need to give and receive a mixture of emotions and your soul. she isn't ready to love again when she knows that loving is never equal. if you give more and receive less is always painful to heal the wounds that not even time can easily cure.

"I know what you are thinking and no, I am different from him. I am willingly to die for you if necessary. my love knows no borders. my love knows no thing more than you and my never ending eternal love for you."

"wow, you really read a lot of romance novels. I don't think I can start a new romantic relationship, but when the time comes I will think about you, probably."

Fumiko finish eating. she thanks him and then she leaves. Arturo is almost crying out of happiness. he yields with joy as he makes it clear to Akio that he is soon getting his own wedding. Arturo starts to plan everything for his wedding. he writes in a notebook the money he has and the money he might need for the wedding.

Akio calls his brother and he asks him for the address and the cost of a good mental hospital. his brother asks him why. Akio tells him that Arturo might need it once he gets officially rejected by his crush (love of his life) his brother agrees and tells him that he will search for a good mental hospital.
