Man in the Cloak

TIME : 11:59PM

LOCATION : UNNAMED WAREHOUSE

"Hey you, come back here ".

A voice calls out to a figure running, his face is not visible but his attire is quite showy, a red hoodie jacket with a flowing cape. The man pants as he runs, carrying a mysterious blade with him, four men are after him, calling out to him and cursing at him, like as though he had stolen from them.

This chase continues for a while as they run down stairs. When they got in sight of the thief, they immediately start shooting at him but it seems as though their bullets have no effect as the thief keeps on running unscathed by the shots.

As the man feels like he has gotten away, he is suddenly blindsided by another guard tripping him and falls to the floor, reeling from his loss in concentration resulting in his current predicament.

He is quickly surrounded by the guards and they set to beating him up.

He laughs as they pummel him, almost like he is enjoying the assault. The guards are visibly offended by his obvious scorn for their actions. The guard who had succeeded in bringing the thief down brought out a gun intent on ending the thief's life.

"Any last words before I blow your brains out".

The thief smiles through his bloodied nose and retorts.

"Do you really think I'm scared of you."

The guard cocks his gun, "you should be."

He makes to shoot his gun but is tripped as the thief does a three hundred and sixty degree swirl, taking all guards surrounding him off their feet and landing on the rough rails beneath them.

The thief gets up and picks up his sword, ready for a brawl with the guards. The first guard lunges forward with intent but is swiftly evaded by the hooded man, tripping him and knocking him out with the helm of his sword.

"Is that the best you can do??" Dan asks as he smirks mockingly.

Two other guards come forward in an attempt to overwhelm him but this also doesn't help has the hooded figure is not fazed. He dodges both attacks and smiles.

"my turn."

He blocks a second attack from one of the two attackers and gives him a powerful blow, taking the wind out of him and knocking him out with a chop to the neck.

"That's enough."

the hooded figure turns to see a gun pointed at him by one of the three remaining guards.

"Your little show is over."

the guard cocks and aims to fire, the man dodges by a hairs length as the bullet grazes his cheek and hits the guard behind him, square on the chest.

The figure immediately trips the shooter with his sword and chops him on the neck has well, effectively knocking him out.

The last guard looks on in horror as his mates are dropping like flies, the hooded figure looks at him and signs for him to move out of his way, to which the guard obliges with swift response.

The hooded figure smiles and leaves with a knowing expression on his face.

"That went well."

He says to himself.....

"It doesn't seem like he took anything important."

A man dressed in official uniform says to his partner has they investigate the warehouse that had only yesterday undergone a robbery.

"So the warehouse gets robbed by some mystery guy and he ends up not taking anything important??, why go through such trouble then…. "

The men are obviously perplexed.

"You are the owner of the warehouse that got robbed last night, right??".

Another uniformed man asks as he interrogates a bystander, the bystander obviously has no desire to say anything and acts like as though he wasn't listening.

"What's your name?? " the uniformed man asks.

"Karan."

the bystander responds rather coldly. He was dressed in an official attire and had a stern look on his face. His hair was a dark brown color and his irises a deep dark that seems to pierce the soul. 

"You know we need you to cooperate with us so that we can catch the perp that stole from you."

"I don't think we need your help, officer." Karan says obviously upset at the presence of the law enforcement at the warehouse.

"Did the man take anything?? " the officer asks in a cold tone.

"Not sure, even if he did take anything, it wasn't important."

Karan answers in a forced tone.

"Look man, if you continue like this, we won't be able to help you."

The officer says in a calm voice.

"Officer, with all due respect, we don't need your help."

The officer is visibly offended and calls for his men to pack up and leave.

"Sorry for the inconvenience" Karan says as the officers are about to leave.

"Mtch."

The officer says as he drives off with his men.

"Why didn't you tell them anything??"

one of the guards from the previous night asks Karan, who looks as though he is the owner of the warehouse that was robbed the night before.

"Because that would cause issues for us in the future, now pack up, we're heading out."

Karan says to the guard.

"What are you gonna do??" The guard asks.

"I'm gonna inform the boss on recent events."

Karan says as he walks away.
