the owner of the bank

the bank that was robbed yesterday was owned by a King Pin named Alberto Esposito the actual head of the Esposito Mafia. Alberto was making deals with Brandon Ice but this attack on his bank only meant one thing and that is the end of his association with Brandon Ice which is something that is going to create chaos inside of his organisation.

this morning on Fumiko's residence.....

Fumiko is in her home trying to sleep (today is a Saturday in which she was given the freedom to rest) Fumiko stands up and she decides to drink some coffee while she turns the TV to watch the news like every day. she sees the news about the bank robbery.

she hears someone knocking on the door. Fumiko opens the door to see Jurgen with Arturo in front of her (Jurgen is using the pretext of work to see her. Arturo in the contrary is honest about missing her) Fumiko asked them to enter while she thinks in drinking her coffee.

"this feels kind of uncomfortable.... I mean, I don't want to make even more uncomfortable the situation but he knows I am a Villain and I know he is a police officer, so...."

"with all do respect Mr. Bloodstain we both respect and appreciate the kind heart of Ms. Suzuki, I don't see a reason to fight over something so trivial like our professions if we do no harm to Fumiko. let's pretend to be friendly, at least for her."

"I like that idea, so did you saw how well I cleaned the stage with Ray of Shit's face? if you could how would you rate my good deed of the week?"

"yes, I bought a copy of that fight on 3D from the Walter guy. it was so elegant the way in which you broke that man's pride and body, the best part was when he was crying like a bitch. in my opinion that was a ten out of ten.... I mean the boys at the police department felt how justice was serve. that was a nice job, nice job indeed Mr. Bloodstain."

Fumiko is looking at them (she is at the moment thinking about getting fake documents to travel to another continent just in case Bloodstain turns her into a wanted criminal) Jurgen asks her for a coffee and Arturo asks for chocolate milk. Fumiko laughs thinking in all the trouble that he is bringing to her.

"well the point I am in here, is because there is a new Vigilante that has arrived on the city and also the boss send me with the documents of your first job as an police officer."

said Jurgen feeling uneasy talking about work.

"thanks, you are a nice guy."

said Fumiko.

later on the Bellucci Mansion.....

Don Gratiano Bellucci is in his office waiting for Aristide to arrive. he looks at his watch while one of his employees tells him that there is no need for him to wait for Aristide. Don Gratiano has been the boss of the family for so long that he forget what he used to be without leading the mafia. he has decided to pass the torch to someone else and Aristide is the person that he has chosen.

Aristide is outside of the mansion and he knocks on the door. the Blind Thief is at his side waiting to enter inside of the mansion. someone opens the door allowing them to enter inside the mansion. they follow a butler to Don Gratiano's office. the butler tells Blind Thief that he needs to wait outside because their conversation is going to be private. Aristide enters alone inside of the office and he looks at Don Gratiano.

"you had been waiting for a whole eternity for your opportunity to prove yourself as a Bellucci and since I took the control I had been getting on your way. okay, you want to be the biggest mafioso on the city? then I step aside but with three conditions. first, you would used your own people and means to take control. second, you are going to take full control of the city and third, you need to kill Mark C. Miller Jr."

said Don Gratiano putting his faith in him.

"yes sir, I am ready to take the crown and you won't regret it."

said Aristide with a huge smile.

"are you ready to walk this path? are you ready to become a real Mafioso? you are no less mortal than I am nor are you more mortal than they are. we all came in this world with the same mortality jet some pretend to be more than mortals, they had died after a few steps realizing for how long their lives were wasted. I am warning you so you can take the right path without forgetting that as easy that it is to climb the stairs, it is always easier to fall from them."

said Don Gratiano hoping for Aristide to understand the path that he wishes to take.

"I am aware of this path, but if all mortals live with fear to death then we would waste our entire lives running away from death with fear. the path to success is full of failures and mistakes jet those who are truly successful they never gave up."

said Aristide sure of what he is meant to do.

"as I promised from now on you are on your own but with freedom to take over this city."

said Don Gratiano sure of the grate future that awaits Aristide.

Aristide gets out of the office and he walks in front of Blind Thief, he asks him to follow him. Blind Thief is unaware of what his boss talked about with Don Gratiano but he can see it in his eyes the flames of ambition. Blind Thief can feel it, there is a great change about to happen and they might become the owners of this city.

on the poor side of the city, on the streets.....

the Drainer is in front of a food truck. he is eating tacos of shrimps. he is eating peacefully when he hears a strange sound and he looks at the Stuntman who sits next to him. the Stuntman is eating quesadillas with mushrooms and spinach. the Drainer is trying to eat peacefully when Walter Grey sits on his left. Walter Grey is eating a broth of seafood. the Drainer feels uncomfortable with an assassin at his left and a reporter at his right side. the Drainer finish his food and when he was about to walk away he saw some cops and Villains that he knows buying their food.

"food does miracles, it brings rivals together."

said the Drainer surprised to see how magical a food truck can be.

the Drainer is about to leave and a cop steps in front of him. the first thing that he thinks is that he is a man in search of vengeance, the Drainer was about to take his sword out when the man with a smile invited him to have some drinks with him and his friends in a bar. the Drainer wasn't able to find a way to avoid drinking so he accepted in order to keep his identity hidden (well that is the pretext that he though in the moment after all his motto is to never say no to free drinks.)

the Drainer went with a huge smile to get some drinks with them and somehow the Stuntman and Walter Grey were dragged to the bar with the cops. the Stuntman may be one of the most dangerous and bloodthirsty assassins out there but he has never had a proper drink (he spends so much time working that he can barely have free time and in his free time he spends the time in his hobbies) Walter Grey on the opposite side, he is a celebrity who knows a lot of people and he only drinks among friends (he has a low tolerance to alcohol so he tries to not drink much.)

after an hour on the bar the Drainer was on his twelfth beer telling perverted jokes. the Stuntman is in his fourth beer ( he is already drunk but is hard to notice for his poker face) Walter is in his fifth beer and he starts to talk about gossip (it might be hard to believe but Walter Grey is a man who knows about the secrets of many, but as well as he knows many secrets he is a man who knows how to keep a secret.... unless he is drunk, once he is drunk he becomes the 'God of Gossip.')

the cops were laughing with Drainer's jokes and Walter's gossip. one of the cops asks to Walter why does he hates Ray of Hope so much. the whole time Walter was smiling but when he heard that name he get more serious and there was some anger visible on his eyes. he looks up at the cops with a grin try to cover his anger and sadness after hearing the hero-name of that bastard. Walter takes a deep breath.

"I used to had a niece who was my whole world. people would usually asked me if she was my daughter or my younger sister for the difference of age..... her greatest virtue used to be her smile, she was the most loving and sweet girl that I had ever met. she fall in love for that conman but I was never against that because she was happy with him, but slowly she begin to lose her smile and all the joy of her life... it is heartbreaking for me to say it, but is because of that bastard that she lose the colors on her life and became a sad person in a mental hospital."

Walter's words were full of rage and resentment, it was clear every feeling that you could feel it by just listening to his words.

"damn, that man is worse than a Villain... you might not know this but Villains used Ray of Hope as a meter to measure how evil a Villain is. only a few Villains are at his level."

said the Stuntman who was half drunk.

in the entrance of the city.....

a man is walking in the darkness of the streets. he walks in front of Alberto Esposito who has been waiting for a long time to meet him. the man reveals to be the new Vigilante in the city without showing his face. he prefers to stay in the shadows unless he has to kill someone or if he needs to show his face to someone important to him. Alberto Esposito offers him a deal that can be helpful for both of them, but the Vigilante refuses to accept the deal because Alberto is a King Pin and a Vigilante doesn't work for criminals nor with them but a Vigilante works by capturing them.

Alberto asks him why is he back on the city and why he accepted to see him if he doesn't want to be his associate. the Vigilante laughs before answering a question that seems to be obvious to him. the Vigilante confesses that he came back to the city for a woman that he loves, an ex girlfriend that has been the only love of his life and he is ready to do anything to conquer her heart. the Vigilante tells him that the only reason he accepted to meet him is to make it clear that he better stay away from his beloved or he would be found in pieces in a dark alley.

Alberto offers a new deal. he tells the Vigilante that he would protect his beloved and make sure that she is not approach by any man in return he wants the Vigilante to work as his associate. the Vigilante asks Alberto if he knows his name and Alberto doesn't know how to answer.

"I am known by many as Night-Sight.... there are myths and legends about me and about how I am the modern version of Medusa, those who see directly into her eyes become stone and every person who has look directly at my face has died."

said Night-Sight expecting to scared Alberto.

"I am a big fan of myths and folklore. I know everything there is to know about the almighty Vigilante who has slay Heroes and Villains alike. every being who is immoral is meant to die by your hands and that is why I, a criminal with morals is the perfect candidate to be your associate. your partner in the path to righteousness."

said Alberto with a creepy smile.

"give me a reason why to care about a man like you and why isn't better to merely kill you right now."

"I have the right reason, the woman you love. if I am not wrong her name, is Fumiko Suzuki. her childhood friend is Bloodstain who at the moment is trying to seduce her and his best friend is the Drainer a man who killed my grandpa in front of me when I was just a child. we can be partners and together we can eliminate those who are our mutual enemies."
