Secret society 2

"I think that will be hard to do. I can't go out there in the rain," Ralph replied confidently.

"Take them out!!" The man declared, staring at his goons.

They seized Lucinda and wanted to seize Ralph. When he dodged the man and used his leg to sweep them off their feet, they all fell to the ground like bags of bones. They were all fat and around their mid 50's, so they wouldn't be able to fight Ralph.

"Wow, a young blood like you is exactly what I'm looking for." The leader remarked, staring at Ralph.

"Arrgh!!" His goons grunt in pain on the floor.

"Get up, you lazy nitwits; haven't you disgraced me more than enough?" The leader asked, glaring at them on the floor. 

Lucinda struggled with the goons holding her hand and pushed them away.

"The lady is also strong." The leader commented.

Ralph and Lucinda stared at him confused. They didn't know what he was trying to say, but it shows that even if he wanted to fight them, he wouldn't be able to do that.

He smiled widely and walked over to Ralph. He put his hand around Ralph's shoulder.

"How would you like to work for me? I have a task just for you." He beamed.

"What kind of task? I don't work for anyone. I am my own boss." Ralph declared, with his head held high.

"You are a brave man." He complimented, bringing out a gun from his pocket.

"I am not an assassin," Ralph muttered as soon as he sighted the gun.

"No one says you are an assassin. I just need you to get something for me." The leader stated, putting his Hans around Ralph's shoulder.

"I can see you are a great fighter. I have a job offer for you." He stated.

Ralph halted.

"Go straight to the point." Ralph declared.

"I want you to get something that belongs to me. You are not actually stealing it but bringing it back to the rightful owner." The man stated.

"If you are the rightful owner, why don't you just go and take it?" Ralph Inquired.

"It's not easy. It was stolen from me and a lot of ninjas are guiding it." The leader stated.

"What's this thing you are talking about?" Ralph asked flatly.

The man adjusted the ring in his hand and looked up at Ralph.

"Gold." He stated.

"Hmm, that's a rare gem," Ralph remarked.

"Yes it is and I want it back. I believe you can help me." The man replied, Ralph smirked.

"You barely know me and you have started seeing potential in me," Ralph whined.

Lucinda was standing with the goons and staring at Ralph and the leader as they spoke.

Ralph stroked his chin. He wasn't the type that worked for someone or even stole for someone, but he was getting bored that he had nothing to do. Now he had to finish building his new company and think of a way to make the antidote and, at the same time, sabotage the man.
