2 The hunting team

Reality can be bitter sometimes, the pain of looseing someone dear does truly change a person's character. Rick bowman, considered as one of the most elite marksman round the globe and also a reknown soldier, probably the best sniper in the entire army.

These titles are just a decoration for Rick. He never considered himself as the best because he knew his mentor, his best friend and coach was the best.

"what's the use of your talent if you don't expose it to the world?, you know you could make a lot of money with the talent of yours", Rick would ask him but he always replyed with a smile. The only answer he after a lot of pestering was, " There are few things which ought to be a secret", he didn't speak more and only answered quetions briefly.

Rick never imagined he would loose that man.

No, he was not dead and may be possibly would not soon but he lost the good man, his mentor, his friend because all that was left of his friend was a monster, the beast beneath, the beast that he tried to hide for so long that no one would know that it existed.

Now all that Rick is living for is to track the beast down and destroy the beast forever like he promised, The promise he made before his friend turned into the ghost as they call him nowadays.

The hope that there is a chance may be even a small one to bring back the man he once admired is worth risking his life or if there is no possibility of bringing him to kill him is his responsibility.

Now he roams in search of companions to fulfill his missions. 'The hunting crew ' as the government calls it.

The hunting crew is a serious necessity in order to bring down the biggest threat the nation has ever faced because the lives of all the nation's important personalities is at risk as there is no saying who will be his prey.The supreme predator, the one who never failed in an hunt. As there is no hunter superior to him, the government appointed the world's most skilled people to hunt him.

"As in the nature a group of hyenas can take down a lion can't they? " quoted reymond John the President of the nation when he addressed the hunting crew himself because he too knew that his life ewas at stake.

"Obviously sir, a group of hyenas can take down an hyena. but... " Rick answered to the question he knew was meant for him due to his nickname 'the hyena'.

"So, there is a 'but' in that?, what is bothering you? is the team not capable? are you looking for a better team? "

"No sir, they are the best out there,it's not the team but our target that is am worried about. A group of hyenas that we are but he is not a lion he is something far superior, something untouchable.

you know they call him the ghost but he is more like a God, a devil so powerful that this is no more science fiction sir, it's far beyond it.
