Promise

The meeting with the man arrived fast.

Not long after we send a message to every strange-looking forum or every creepy auction, we received a response. A short video of Mateo Rivera in a dark suit wearing a long black coat with his hollow red eyes setting a date and a place. Just that, not more than a few cold words. Not even a mockery, it seemed as if he was tired of waiting.

The negotiation was one-sided, he didn't let us even speak or agree with his preparation. We sent messages again, but he didn't respond for a second time.

Well, he didn't have to. We were the once requesting, almost imploring his mercy and a fair deal… if he were so gentle to give us time… Though, I had a hunch. He won't make it easy for us. To stop his stupid slaughter for a few days would make him demand many things, and we will have to give it to him unless… we captured him there.

That would be silly, he is stronger than any of us. What will he request? Blood, people to eat… me?
