Chapter 3

(Chapter 3: The bounty)

As the man leaves the hospital with the mysterious girl, he felt as there were eyes on them. He slightly looked around without making it obvious, he then noticed a few scouts hidden in the buildings, and creeps around every corner "Hey let's go" He said to the girl trying to get her and himself out of there "I-im coming" She said spooked, as they continue walking, he can feel the weight of people following them. So, he decided it's time to get rid of them but he had to distract the girl first "hey here's 50, can you get something for us to drink please?" He said with a warm smile, she nodded as she grabbed the money then smiled while walking off, after she entered the store. He headed down an alleyway, baiting them to follow him "So do I have to tell y'all to beat it, or do I have to make y'all" The man said with an annoyed expression on his face, as he stood there he could feel the presence of five man behind him. They all had their guard up, as they knew what would happen if one of them let their guard down even for a second, so they all stood there waiting for something to happen. As they stood there and kept staring the man down, you just hear a sudden noise of a door slam shut "Booom!!!" Is all you hear when they all disappeared into the air, as if they were the wind it self. Dust started coming up, as if a tornado was picking up dust, but as this happen a near by wall went down from someone be slammed into it, while someone else goes flying into a window shattering it on impact. As the smoke slowly lifted, all you could see is the man and two other figures, as well as another man head in the ground. The three man who were left standing were staring each other down "Y'all ain't here to talk are you" He said joking around to keep them distracted, so he could find an opening "No we ain't, were here to collect a bounty. On your friend's head" One guy said abit annoyed about the situation, then the man looked at them with a death stare as they say this "So, let me introduce myself. I'm John" John said acting like he's not taking this seriously as he looked at them, one looked like he was blind because he was wearing a blind fold, plus a suit, but he could read John's moves pretty easy tho. While the other one wears a hoodie that looked like a rain coat, and blue jeans but having a more dangerous presence to him "I'm Dan, and this is Ethan" The guy with the blindfold said "You know if we say our names we get in trouble" Ethan said abit disappointed in Dan "He's gonna die anyways, so no worries" Dan said with a smug attitude as if he won already "Didn't I teach you, to watch your opponent. Even if you believe you already won, or do I have to add more to your workout" Ethan said with a look that a mentor gives a student "Alright I understand, my bad sensei" Dan says with respect as he bows to Ethan, he then turned his attention back to John "Shall we str-" Before Dan could finish he gets cut off by sirens heading their way, since someone called about a disturbance "Shit let's go" Ethan said annoyed even more as they both disappear into the shadows. John headed back to where he left the girl, before the anyone noticed him "hey sorry, that I left. I had to do something" He said to the girl with a warm smile not to worry her "oh its alright" she said happily with a soft smile on her face "o-oh I never got your name sir" she said sounding abit upset while she tilted her head to the side "Oh its John" he said as he held out his hand to her "I'm Sarah, thanks for helping me find my way home" Sarah said as she looked at him and smiled while shaking his hand "dont thank me yet, we haven't got to your house" They both laughed a little. As they head off on their journey again, John can't get many thoughts out of his head, why is there a bounty on Sarah, who are those guys working for, and what will come next. He feels that this journey is going to have many obstacles that will mean life or death
