to those who only know about hatred

Blind Thief is in his house. he has been living in that empty house for many years but he has never felt at home in there. he is at the moment lying down on the floor. he hears a noise coming from the other side of the entrance. he walks towards the door and when he opens the door he finds a letter on the ground. he takes the letter. he closes the door. he sits on a sofa in which he reads the letter.

"so the name of the one send my boss' cousin to the hospital is Ted Wayne Whitley. my boss is sad because his cousin is in a coma from which he might never wake up. I guess that letting him in a coma is the right solution to punish his acts of disrespect towards my boss."

Blind Thief takes a revolver, a riffle, a shotgun and some grenades to make sure that he can send right to hell the man named Ted Wayne Whitley. Blind Thief leaves his house and he drives in his car. he tries to call his boss but he doesn't answer. Blind Thief thinks that maybe once he kills Ted his boss in going to be thankful with him.

Blind Thief calls to some of his contacts and he asks them for the whereabouts of Ted Wayne. Blind Thief isn't waiting for a divine sign to tell him that is right to kill that rat. if killing that rat makes his boss happier then he is going to kill it without a doubt.

one of his contacts gives him information about Ted's home and the places in which he usually goes. Blind Thief thanks him and he drives directly towards Ted's home. a place in which he has to be is his home and the place that Ted might think to be the safest is going to be the place in which he might die.

Blind Thief receives a call from Arturo. Blind Thief had at first doubts about answering the call, but for some reason he felt like it was necessary for Arturo to know what he was going to do. Blind Thief answers the call. they talk for a while about random shit. Blind Thief tells him about his plan and the location in which he plans to kill Ted.

"my duty is to protect my boss and follow his orders. I am not weak nor am I easy to kill, but in case I want you to tell to my bo.... to my brother Arri that if I died was trying to bring him the head of Ted Wayne Whitley the man who attempt to kill Don Gratiano Bellucci.... I know that I promised to be at his side but we are mafia and in the mafia we live fast to die young. only a monster dies at old age."

there is a moment of silence in which none of them make a single sound. after a few seconds Arturo is talking to him and telling him to not say crazy shit. Arturo asks for the address so he can be of assistance on capturing this rat alive.

"fuck, that is not me.... I am not the type of guy to get sentimental... I don't know what shit took over my body to say something so stupid and foolish. Arri is going to make fun of me, I know him so fucking well. well see you Bloodstain."

said Blind Thief feeling like those last words were a lie.

Blind Thief ends the call.

later on a park....

Domingo sits on a bench. Akio sits next to him in the same bench. Domingo is looking at a squirrel running around of the park as it is follow by another squirrel. Akio is looking at a dog that is doing tricks for his owner.

Domingo sighs thinking that he is just like the squirrel trying to run away from his problems as someone else is behind him trying to control his movements. Domingo couldn't believe at the time that a Hero has risked his own life to save a worthless villain, but now that he knows the reason why Chiko saved him that time. he feels awful for thinking that maybe a Hero could care for the bad guys.

Akio is thinking in how his life is no different from the life of the dog. the dog is trying to get the attention of the owner and he is trying to get the attention of a public that maybe doesn't want to accept his music. he is desperate to be seen and acknowledge by the public.

"my life is shit."

said Akio and Domingo at the same time.

Domingo receives a text from Chiko asking him if he is investigating about the information they received. Chiko sends another text asking him to do anything in his power to find Lucky-Hit before it is too late to stop him. he receives a third text from Chiko. this time Chiko was asking him to find some guys that were closed to Lucky-Hit when he was a Hero.

Akio receives calls from his family. he doesn't want to know more about them. he knows what they want. they are going to demand for him to leave his pointless dream and to go back home to be trained to be another assassin on the family business.

"my life is mine and no one else can dictate my life."

said Akio and Domingo at the same time.

Domingo knows the path that he has walked on. he knows that there was a lot of blood. he knows that there were times in which he doubt if he was strong enough. his life wasn't easy and now he is analyzing his mistakes and victories.

Akio wishes to grasp if his fighting and his rebellion against his family has brought anything good to his life. he wants to know if he has freed himself from his family or may be possible that he is still chained at them and he didn't know.

"thanks for chat. it was satisfying to let my emotions out."

said Akio and Domingo at the same time.

Akio looks at the dog for four more minutes. he stands up and he leaves the park. Domingo looks up at the sky as he sighs. he closes his eyes trying to concentrate. he thinks in nice things thinking that he can forget his problems for a minute.

later on the streets of the west side of the city.....

Ted Wayne Whitley is walking. he looks at the watch on his left wrist. the time is four o'clock. he always eats on his home but today he wants to eat outside. he goes to a food truck. he asks for an order of tacos. Ted is really hungry and tired for a lot of work he has been doing.

Ted ate the food fast as he was walking towards his house. he calls some of his men and he tells them about a business that he wants to finish soon. Ted has some guys investigating Professor Villan. Ted thought of finding his enemies and then later using them against him. Villan dies by the hands of his enemies and Ted takes his project.

Ted eventually arrives in front of his home. he has a bad feeling and he turns around. he can either enter in his home or leave. he takes a gun out. he opens the door slowly as he walks inside of his own house. he closes the door quietly. Ted walks towards the dinning room in which Blind Thief was awaiting for him.

Blind thief is with a shotgun aiming at him. Ted sits slowly in front of him. Blind Thief asks him if he knows who he is. Ted nods afraid of lying to him. Blind Thief demands an explanation from him. Ted smirks in a creepy way.

"do I really need to explain why I try to kill him?"

Ted asked trying to provoke him.

"I don't think you are fully capable to see your position. I really want to kill you slowly in a cruel way like an animal, so please don't play with my patience."

said Blind Thief hopping to see the face of a hopeless man.

"is this a game? if this is a game I am going to win, if it isn't I am still going to win."

"arrogance is the name of the sword that cuts the neck of those who hold it."

Ted looks directly at the eyes of Blind Thief. Ted takes his gun out and he aims at Blind Thief's face. Ted understood that if he was slow he was going to die. there are two correct answers to this problem. the first one is that one of them is faster than the other one. the second is that both of them die at the same time an absolutely hopeless death.

Ted shoots first and then shoots Blind Thief. a bullet hits Blind Thief in the left shoulder and he falls on the floor. Ted can feel the blood on his left arm. he looks at his left arm and it is in a terrible shape.

Ted walks forward and he looks at Blind Thief who is holding a revolver. Blind Thief asks him if he has any last words. Ted asks him the same. there is a moment of hesitation from part of them. Ted is nervous to think that this can be his last day.

they shoot at each other until their guns are empty. Ted falls on his knees bleeding a lot from his left arm and other parts of his body. he is bleeding a lot from his neck. with his right hand he tries to put pressure in the wound. he smirks as he looks at Blind Thief who is in a worst condition than him.

"are we going to die."

asks Blind Thief feeling disappointed for his useless effort.

"no, you are going to die alone."

said Ted ensuring that he is not dying now.

Ted stands up. he takes the shotgun from the floor. Blind Thief is smiling with teary eyes. it is pointless to ask for mercy at this point. Blind Thief closes his eyes and he yields asking Ted to do it, to end it. Ted holds the trigger. there is a bang. Ted throws away the shotgun as he walks away badly hurt.

Blind Thief is dead with his eyes wide open and some tears on his eyes. he died with the hope of making his friend happy.

some hours after; Arturo enters in the house accompanied by Daisuke. Arturo smells the aroma of blood. he walks towards the cold dead body of Blind Thief. Arturo kneels in front of a dead comrade feeling pity for the dead man. Daisuke stands behind his friend. Daisuke tells him that they have to give the news to Arristide.

Arturo assures him that this is going to make things worst. Arturo knows that the cousin was a distant relative, but Blind Thief was like a brother to Arristide. Arturo admits that he is afraid of the impact this event might cause in Arristide's health, especially his mental health.

Daisuke is feeling guilty for being late. if he was on time is probably that the end could had been another. now their employer is going to drag them to hell. Daisuke asks Arturo for a solution to the problem they have in front of them. Arturo confirms to him that his power is only for attacks or defense against enemies, but he is no god to bring back to life the dead.

Daisuke is getting nervous. Arturo tells him that the only thing they can do is kill Ted and bring the head to Arristide. that is the only thing they can do. Daisuke knows but that is not enough. Daisuke calls Alvin Knight the butler and he tells him about Blind Thief's death. he asks for help.

at the moment on the streets of the city.....

Vladimir is running away while Fumiko is following him. she is determined in arresting him. Vladimir just wants to leave the city. he keeps running as he starts to feel tired and he feels that he is almost breathless. Vladimir begs her to let him leave the city. Fumiko gets her gun out and she starts to shoot at him. Vladimir is about to cry.

"please, please just this once let me go."

asks Vladimir for mercy to a merciless police officer.

Vladimir notice that he is running inside of the most dangerous zone of the city. some criminals are surrounding Fumiko. after so much running Vladimir gives up and he decides to walk slowly as the criminals take care of the police lady who was following him. Vladimir didn't know that he could sweat cold so much before today.

he walks peacefully admiring the sky, the birds on it, the sound of the wind and the screams of horror of the criminals. Vladimir looks behind and the scene that he saw was too horrifying for his eyes. seven tough muscular macho men are on the ground with broken bones crying like babies for their moms.

it was at this moment that Vladimir understood that one single wrong move and he was fucked. Vladimir step close to a soft part on the ground and then he pretended to faint. Fumiko puts handcuffs on Vladimir. she dragged him to the H.C.P.D. in the whole way Vladimir faked be unconscious to not deal with her wrath.

"you are a bad actor but I give you a B for participation."

said Fumiko as she drags him on the floor.

once Vladimir was behind bars Fumiko went to her house to change her clothes. today she is going to have a date with Arturo and she wants to look good. she has accepted that humans can't be alone, humans are meant to be draw towards other humans. a human can't be alone for too long without searching for their other half.

Fumiko has been nervous the whole day, since the morning. in about twenty or thirty minutes she is going to have a date with a handsome guy who has strong feelings for her. maybe this is her opportunity to find true love.
