Chapter Three Part Eight

The syndicate was never harmed by the fire in one of their many establishments, for they controlled all that was present in the West. The syndicate gathered at one of their meeting areas. Most of the meetings from then on were on the topic of Eric York; however most understood that talking about him was merely a disguise of a way to at least say that they were doing something. 

"I am sick and tired of talking about Eric York. That's all I hear anymore is Eric York Eric York Eric York Eric York. I mean at this point we have enough of his life story to write a novel about this man." One of the syndicate members cried out into the large echoey and boomy hallway.

"I agree let us talk about something else, maybe fine wine would delight a conversation or caviar." Another member spoke.

"Yeah, but there is no grit in any of those things that you talk about. All that there is in that is pleasure. Why not talk about the immensely difficult world of golfing."

"Yes yes! Let us run our mouths about golfing. What an incredibly difficult sport that is!"

"I have recently switched ball companies because the last balls that I had were as fragile as a walnut. You could have honestly used a walnut and that might have been the same experience."

"Oh I did always hate that company that you used for balls. They always would just fall apart in the air, and you would always have no balls left and you wouldn't have any left for any situation that we were in."

Then one of the members rushed into the grand hallways with urgent news.

"A letter has just arrived! The news is urgent, please pay close attention." 

The man began reading the news aloud

"Members of the great syndicate, I write to you today concerning the world in which you have created. The cities you have ruined for all of your personal glory will someday fight back to reclaim what was once ours. It was never the syndicate to begin with. Someday, and I promise you someday your establishment will fall, but that requires the citizens of your monstropolis to rise up and defeat this great evil that you all have created. Until the citizens rise up. I, one man, am coming for everything. You know who I am. I don't even have to say my name. I have become so infamous.
