Who's the boss?!

Runtown was perplexed, he tried to recall things. Memories started flooding into his brain. "Payne, his wife, and children"

"It can't be, you're Alexander Ripoff, the son of Benson Payne Rippoff!"

Alex grinned. "That's right, and I'm here to kill you"

"Kill me?" Runtown asked sarcastically as several armed guards flooded into the hall, some wielded guns, others wielded jacknives and battons, guns aimed at Alex.

"Show this man why I'm invincible" Runtown ordered his men as the ones with rifles pulled their triggers.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Alex crouched left and right, trying his possible best to evade to the bullets. He aimed for some shooters and pulled his own shots as well. Two went down dead simultaneously. He ran Quickly towards a golden statue situated at the entrance of the second large door at the corner and hid behind it.

Clang! Clang!

The raining bullets collided with the statue, Alex was shielded.

He loaded his pistols and cocked them, the raining bullets also stopped, signifying that the guns of his attackers were out. 'My turn' he thought.

He stepped out and rolled to the left, he released several bullets which consecutively pierced through the skulls and chests of the guards. Some of them scampered for cover, while some ran towards him, to engage him in close range physical combat. 'Fuck' he muttered as his guns went out. He clenched his fists and charged at the now incoming guards.

Pow! Pow! Bam!

He maneuvered through the guards, weaving their attacks and retaliating with his own counter attacks, with brute Force. Resulting in the dislocation and fracturing of their bones, some got knocked out.

Suddenly, the blaring sounds of the sirens on the police vehicles outside the building jolted him to his senses. He looked around, in search of Runtown, but the kingpin was nowhere to be found. The whole crowd had dispersed, only the dead and unconscious bodies of the guards could be seen.

"Freeze" he heard a man say behind him, alongside the sounds of numerous footsteps.

Alex scampered for safety as the bullets from the police men whizzed past him. Going out through the door he used to come in earlier.

He quickly brought out his mask from his jacket's pockets and put it on, to shield his identity.

Wheez!

He dove for safety as three more bullets whizzed past him again.

He got to his power bike and revved it's engine.

"Don't let him escape" a hefty police man shouted.

Vroom! Vroom!

Alex took off.

Runtown's Guesthouse,

West California,

9:34 PM.

He was sitted on the couch, a glass cup of brandy in his right hand. He sipped slowly from it as his mind went back to the moment Alex looked him in the eye and said "I'm here to kill you!"

He had to crash in his guesthouse due to the stress from the 'hot chase' he just got.

"That brat" he cursed. "So he survived?!"

"I'mma teach that kid a lesson he'll never forget"

He picked up his cell phone and dialed the number of one of his most trusted men.

"How's it going Bruce? You got em?"

"Alright, make the payments ASAP" he concluded and hung up, heaving a sigh of relief.

Minutes later, Bruce, his trusted guard walked into the room, clad in a sleeveless blue shirt and black jeans. Four scary looking people tagged behind him. Two males, and a female. They all work stern faces, not even a single smile.

"Here they are boss" Bruce said to Runtown as they assembled in front of him.

He began introducing them one by one.

He pointed at the female. "This is Nadia Abdumaliq Requs, 2nd grade assasin in the illuminates" She was dressed in a super tight long sleeved ninja-like suit, her neatly combed hair was well packed, she had a black lip gloss on her lips.

He pointed at the first man. "This is Cage Nathan, 3rd grade assasin in the illuminates"

Cage was wearing a brown leather jacket, and black jeans. The others were also dressed on black jackets and jeans as well.

"This is Patrick Hunchman" he pointed at the second man.

"And the last is Henry Tage"

"Also members of the illuminates" " They'll get the job done well" Bruce assured.

Runtown scanned them, from down to top, he noticed the tatoos of an 'X' sign on their necks, the one Alex has.

"What's with the tatoos?" Runtown asked.

"That's like a trademark or logo perhaps, for the Illuminates, all members have that tatoo" Bruce explained.

"Oh, great!"

He grinned evily. "Now we'll see who's the boss! Alex!"
