Erebus sat perched on a rooftop, staring into an ocean of passerby’s. A half eaten chicken sandwich was palmed in his lap with his right hand. The air smelled of cigarette smoke, but of no fault to Erebus. The men behind him struggled to keep a girl restrained, they were ransoming her. Half a million jewels, and simply awaiting the next stage. They were probabaly 5 meters from the ground, on top of a downtown roof. The roof was about 20m by 20m, so it was by no means a very large subsidiary. Something the weaker criminals offered was nice discreet locations, without that connection, Erebus wouldn’t be able to do so much behind closed doors.
Sitting to his left, was a metallic helmet, with braided coils. A new piece he’d added to the collection. But he couldn’t eat with the damn thing on, unless he figured out the visor options. That would take awhile though, the text inside was alien and foreign to comprehension. Hence why Erebus wouldn’t be able to describe the numbers it showed to him. Only he understood it so far, all the others had let this masterpiece go. His clothes were typical, lightweight, and concealed under a cloak, the Nightstalker. On his left arm, decorated in black and red metal, six-inch needle claws tapped impatiently, sliding against the stone surface. Creating an anxious, nauseating feeling for his hostage who was being babysat.
Erebus expected the young woman’s family to arrive shortly, provided they not risk losing her life, of course, the Don had other plans. Erebus was a death dealer, and this maiden behind him, squirming under the knee of a dangerous thug, was nothing but cattle to a middle aged version of the hero Ere once aspired to be. And… she had a taxing debt to pay. Her father’s life.
“Lousy… 500,000J… can you believe that.” Erebus recounted how he’d defended this same man, this time last year. For that small lump some. He even warned that if he not be paid to bodyguard, that extortion would eventually find its way back. Only, if you aren’t paying Erebus, you’re against him.
“I’m getting three million for this now, typical unlucky customers.” He’d chortle almost at the fact. At least when he was to himself, he had a nice conversation. Erebus doubted other crazy people had half the same fun or success. Half choking on laugh and the food, lettuce would fall from his lips over the side of the building— causing a few people to stare up at him, clearly disgusted with whatever they were looking at. He held the bird out, and watched them turn around and walk off quickly— yeah, fuck off. He had two legs swaying over the side and couldn’t be bothered by the weak slaves of the consumer world. Instead, his entertainment was rather childlike for a sociopathic super-killer, agent of darkness, whatever.
Erebus then jumped backwards, his feet allowing him to hover and turn the same way one would up onto a ledge— though clearly flat surfaces were not an issue to this criminal, now facing his crew. He noticed a thunderstorm approaching in the faint distance. Strange, and foreboding. Wonder why, he’d finally pitch the question audibly to the grunt force. His captive was making all sorts of hoarse noises and annoying whimpers, so Erebus quickly pushed the thought out of his head and crouched down to look at them. Erebus loved to psycho-analyze afraid people— and under the bandages concealing his face, he was grinning.
The men simply shrugged— realizing quickly how off-putting the silence and staring could be, one rubbed his beard and turned away, the other pushed a clip into a simple firearm, pretending to be ignorant of the dread setting into the girl…
They knew what they had signed up for.
Ten more minutes until the family arrived.
…
Ten more minutes ‘til he could slide.
…
In ten more minutes, buddy? We’re rich again.
