A man running through a crowd of people while being chased by two unknown figures. The man running has started to become ragged, breathing heavily, he runs toward an alleyway, the man stopped in his tracks only realizing his decision he made was a bad move. Seeing in front of him was a tall fence before he could climb the two unknown figures caught up to him.”John, that was a very rude way to ignore me even when I said I will go easy on you, but no you chose to run and bothered everyone on a peaceful day.” The running man named john started to lose strength in his legs as he was more nervous to speak as his attention was more focused on the man partner individual, a black canine wolf growling at him john worried if he moved the wolf would tear him to pieces and enjoy eating him alive.

The somber face of the man looked at John, noticing he wasn’t paying attention to him but to his canine instead. With a wave of his hand the black wolf dissipate leaving but a black smoke in the air.”Their that should be a bit easier on you now, so let's get back to business john, there a bounty on you that made you worth five grand selling info about different crime organization while wearing different faces would have caught on quick john.” Getting annoyed at the man treating his hard work of disguises as some trick, John couldn’t help himself and talked back at the man.” My disguise was foolproof. No one should ha—” The man interrupted john”have known who you are, yes that's true for any normal person looking for you but i’m not those normal people as you can see on how i removed my canine friend earlier.”


The man moved his hand behind his back, seeming to take out a pair of handcuffs and moved closer to john. Seeing this John panicked and moved his hands to his pocket taking out a sharp knife.” D..don’t move any closer or i..i’ll cut you where you stand.” The man couldn’t help himself when he showed no fear but an ecstatic smile to john.” Annoyed at this, John rushes in to stab the man but he felt something, it wasn’t his knife but his stomach it felt like he got hit by a heavyweight boxer.”W…w.hat urgh. John regurgitated spewing warm chunks of vomit on the back alley floor. Moving forward the man kicked the knife away from John, also avoiding the pile of vomit in front of him, he took the handcuffs, moved around john vomit pool and handcuff him between his back. The man picked John up leading him out the alley, the man also took out a phone sending a message to someone to his location. It only took a couple of minutes but the man associate is here with a car to pick him up.”Yooooooo lucien buddy there you are, when you started running with your pet wolf after the guy I couldn’t catch up so I decided to stay back and bring your ride to you when you caught the guy.” Lucien groans at his associate's carefree demeanor especially announcing their kidnapping to the public eye.Lucien quickly move john to his car and put him in the back seat, he let his associate continue driving until they reach the dropzone location they need to pick up the cash for this guy bounty on his head.


“Oh! By the way, Lucien, about the payment you're giving me, how much I'm getting for helping you catch this guy?.” Considering how useless he was in finding their guy and gathering information he’ll hardly get anything but I don’t want to deal with his shitty negotiating on why he should deserve more.”You’ll get one grand if you shut up and continue driving to the destination.” The driver smiles, thinking of the cash he's gonna get.” Tha—” before he can finish his sentence a bullet pierce through the window penetrating his skull.


Lucien hurriedly moves to grab the wheel of the car before it steers out of control, he quickly uses his shadow powers to provide cover for the car and helps him ditch the dead body out of the driver seat.The sniper fire repeated shots at the moving car, hitting small parts of it but one hit the shadow that was protecting the car it didn’t make any noise or pierce through it was almost like it was absorbed into it giving a disappearance act.


The sniper missed his chance as the vehicle drove past his range, knowing he could still try to hit them; it wouldn't do anything to the shadow’s that were guarding the car. Having cleared the distance, Lucien sat up to drive the car more stable on the road. While the other cars sped up ahead due to the fear of gunshot sound heard, the destination would take only a couple of hours away.


Sun setting as a couple hours pass Lucien is parking the car as he arrives at a secret location, that was told to him when he catches john. Lucien gets out of the car and heads to the back seats to drag John out while he is still in handcuffs. He dragged the body on his leg, before he can continue an unknown man is walking towards lucien, soon start bragging.”Hahahahaha i’m  glad you brought my bounty brat, now hand him over so I can cash him in and if your a good brat i’ll give you some chump change, hahahahaha.” Hearing him talk annoyed Lucien as he soon started to run at him and use his shadow ability to deal with him.” Kuh you stupid brat i’ll have you know I used to be a muscle for the mob’s when I was younger, time for this adult to teach you the meaning of adult authority.” The man charged straight against lucien once close he threw a punch that never hit at the same time lucien summoned a shadow straight up decapitating the man, while still holding on to john leg, lucien felt another presence. Clap, clap,clap,clap.”That was a quick fight but i’m guessing you brought the guy we wanted so the five thousand is yours i’ll also clean up the body, think of it for showing some good entertainment, anyway how’d you find the guy?” Lucien answered the mobster.” By sense of smell, I summon a dog to track a certain smell off of him and the rest is waiting at the place’s he mostly frequents, that’s all.” The mob is impressed by Lucien's skill,”well if you ever want to join the mob i’m sure your skill will be useful.” Lucien hears his phone ring as he sees the notification of the money being transferred to his account. Lucien walk’s off as he says to himself.”Collecting bounties provides some good cash.”

THE END.
