CHAPTER 7 : TEZCA BENEDETTI

Elsewhere in town, within the old shipping docs of wagenborg was a discreet yet large warehouse. This warehouse had but few windows, however these windows sat up high above the ground insinuating the warehouse had a second level. As for the entrance of the warehouse there were few. One occupied the other side of the warehouse and was of small scale which helped it blend in to its surrounding area, typically locked. The other was on the roof where guards could be seen standing around observing the area. That last was the main entrance door which was of large scale around 15 feet tall and 8 feet wide. This door was a reinforced industrial double steel door meant to keep anyone out. As if that wasn't enough the two massive guards that measured roughly over 244 centimeters that stood in front of the doors made that very clear. What made it even more peculiar was the man that they seem to take orders from; By all counts of the imagination he wasn't what one would call very intimidating. He was an older man and one of very small stature at that, measuring in at just a little over 122 centimeters. It also didn't help that he looked hunched over when he walked. The man was dressed in very formal attire as he wore a jet black suit followed by dark round frame shades that covered his eyes. He also wore his hair in a large Afro style, as for facial hair he had a small mustache and goatee. But if there was one thing of notice it was the devilish grin he carried with him.

Front guards : " Good evening boss "

Tezca : " Save the formalities, did those idiots do what I asked ? "

Front guards : " Y-yes "

Tezca : " Good, now then… where's Jack ? "

Front guards : " He just arrived not to long ago, he's waiting inside "

Upon hearing of Jack's arrival Tezca made his way inside. Where he saw jack with an annoyed expression on his face as he sat on a pristine leather sofa with his feet kicked up upon a luxurious wooden table.

Tezca : " Jack my boy it's good to see you, it's been what… two weeks since that last job "

Jack the bloodhound: " Cut the shit old man, I'm not here for small talk "

Tezca : " Straight to the point as ever I see… very well, around an hour ago I got news that some of your men completed a task for me "

Jack the bloodhound : " What task…"

Tezca : " Nothing much just this… "

As Tezca spoke he walked over to one of the corners of the warehouse where a box-like object sat covered by a large red cloth. He then let out a small chuckle as he removed the cloth in a over the top manner as though to parade what was hidden underneath, as he did jack's eyes widen for slight second; As he recognized the small boy trapped inside a small slightly rusted cage, that small boy was Kobra.

Jack the bloodhound : " W-WHAT IS HE DOING HERE ?, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS OLD MAN ? "

Jack the bloodhound : " I'VE DONE SOME PRETTY FUCKED UP SHIT FOR YOU IN THE PAST, BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT CHILDREN ! "

Tezca : " Relax, relax I won't hurt the brat…I just, need to borrow him for a while "

Jack the bloodhound : " What reason could you possibly have for some runt from the slums ? "

Tezca : " Let's just say there's a certain person of interest… and this little runt is gonna help me get what I want "

Jack the bloodhound : " ( sigh ) and what exactly do you need me to do then "

Tezca then puts the cloth back on the cage where an unconscious and brutally beaten Kobra laid, he then reached in his chest pocket taking out a cigar and a lighter. He then drew lengthily on his cigar as he walked towards jack; releasing the smoke in a rather refined manner for a man of his character followed by his devilish grin once more.

Tezca : " Glad you're quick on the uptake… I heard from one of your men that a troubling individual made his presence known to you earlier today; I also learned of how you spared the poor bastard as a courtesy to that would be father of yours "

Jack the bloodhound : " How does that runt play into all this "

Tezca : " I have eyes and ears everywhere in this town, let's just say a little birdie told me that he's backing the person I'm after. So what I need you to do is put him out of his misery… for good this time "

Jack the bloodhound : " Fine… but on one condition after all this is over I'm done working for you "

Tezca : " Sure whatever you want…(slight chuckle) i'll even properly compensate you this time just make sure I get my hands on that girl named Julie "

ELSEWHERE IN TOWN

Julie : " Sin I told you to go back to the pub "

Sin : " NO WAY ! , if your going I'm going "

Julie : " it's dangerous where we're going and I don't know what's going to happen, so please listen to me and go back "

Sin : " But…"

Scotch : " Listen to your sister , this is no place for kids. Just go back and wait for us to return "

Sin : " But I-I can help "

Scotch : " Listen kid don't be in such a hurry to grow up, if you do you'll regret it. Just go back "

Sin then let out a regretful sigh as he listened to the words scotch spoke to him and decided to comply. But before he walked away he spoke whatever was on his mind.

Sin : " F-fine… but just promise me you'll comeback okay sis "

Julie then gave sin a comforting hug, as she did so tears rolled down the young boy's cheeks although he tried his hardest to hold them back.

Julie : " Don't worry everything will be fine, you'll see "

Sin : " And one more thing, Alesul promise you'll kick their ass when you see them "

As Sin spoke Alesul turned around with a confident expression reassuring Sin in the process.

Alesul : " Don't worry about a thing,I'll wipe the floor with them "
