Chapter 9

Throughout the day i was left thinking what has davis got up to and how he even got the address of such a place.

The address the young detective gave me

Was located up to a nearby port specifically a warehouse at that precise area, i didnt think too much of it.

I just started helping this case, and i'm already given that vital of information, such a thing isnt that expected when starting a case.

So i decided one thing, i had to check out the address first, so that if something goes wrong i know places to navigate from.

I headed to the location and there it was the warehouse that resides beside the port, i got close to inspect.

I went inside the building, the doors creaked even if metal those doors felt like centuries old but who cares, the interior was that of a full empty warehouse besides a few plastic chairs and a room in the further parts.

I went over to the room it was just an average empty room with a foldable table and foldable chair but the only notable feature was the roll up garage door at the rear end.

That was it, this was the location i was sent to be, i feel like such a prick for even coming here too early, but it was for my own sake, the sake of knowing.

I decided to stay around downtown as night fell, i camped in a nearby building, spying on the warehouse from afar.

I decided to take a nap for the time being, it wasnt such a big deal whatsoever, its just a nap.

I fell asleep it felt like a flash gone by

Regardless to say i was suddenly awoke

By the sound of a garage door opening.

I then panned over to see what it is, it was a large group of people from what i could make out, they went inside as a crowd and left no trace of a crowd.

I should wait for davis to arrive, just like

co-worker said, after some spying i slowly climbed down to head to the port without any detection.

I stood idly in a lamp post shortly before davis arrived, i noticed someone hiding outside right under the doors stairwell,

I headed down as quick and silent as i could.

*You made it in*

Davis whispered to me

*Whats this all about?*

*We have a lead in the case, im not sure about this but the people driving in the van might have some connections with this group*

*even so this group might be the culprit*

I said

*For sure but im not really buying it*

Davis replied and then said

*alll we need to do is find answers, not assume things*

The next thing we know it that groups so called meeting has begun.

We snooped up and peeped through a crack through a window, to a closer look all these people appear to be wearing dark blue suits and skull masks, very weird but not right now.

To our eyes, we then saw a much larger looking man but with a blue tuxedo he then stepped infront of the croud, and then started the meeting

I didnt really get what the hell they were even saying, i cant really understand their so called way of speaking its very confusing, but davis seems to understand.

Hes writing down important details, i leaned towards his writings, i read it, it was detailing about a plan to eliminate the heroes that faced the crisis back then, and how it is a once in a life time oppertunity to do such a feat.

He then writes more stuff that has no business to do with my purpose of helping out, so on we sat through somewhat most of their presentation.

*Thats the skull mafia just so you know*

Davis eared out

The skull mafia?, i thought they were long gone, it was just a simple average mafia back then it was rather easy to take it down,

I didnt expect them to make a return let alone how in the world would they even have that such an idea on mind, let alone they wouldnt even last a chance against a veteran hero, unless there were some changes-

I turned behind me to be meeted by a person wearing a dark cloak, then next thing i knew it, it was dark.

MURMURING.....

MURMURING.....

i awoke to see myself tied up at a chair, alongside davis in another chair right next to me, surrounding us was the crowd of mafia members staring us through the soul, the crowd makes way for someone tall.

I could presume it was the boss, he walks right up to us and smirks.

*Well,well look what we have here, what it appears to be some burglar and some law guy.*

*or may i correct it as, "Weirdo Guy", you are about among other heroes, who knew the one hero that took down the mafia ages ago*

*And you may be asking, why are we here, and how do we know you were there?, very much thought isnt it?*

He said all that

*I would like to hear so*

I said

*Very well, i will only say this only once*

*YOU'LL NEVER KNOW*

They all bursted out laughing as if mocking us

*but i'll say one thing, we placed some pieces of pencil lead on the wedges of the door, if anyone were to come here uninvited they'd most likely enter from that*

*The moment we came from the garage and saw the lead broken down, we knew someone was gonna be here*

*And that lead you to this*

He said

*What have you done!...*

Davis said very seriously

Oh crap.... what have i done, i made the recently worst and the most consequential decision in my years of heroing, this is bad so bad.

My only choice is to fight my way out, so i better time this right.

He then walked circling around us telling us some random mafia crap and stories i dont understand myself yet again, it felt like i wanna get out of here second by second the more he spouts that nonsense.

And so then the time came the moment he turned his back towards me, i easily broke free from the tight ropes holding me up that were no match for my power Hard hit.

I dashed upclose and swung a hit, but only for this hit to be met with the guy dodging it,

What is this? This guy dodged it?

This guy probably has no powers but does he?

He then went close and snuck a smack towards my face, i instantly dealt it and tried to swung another one at him only for him to dodge instinctively fast and swift.

This guys not playing at all, hes 100% confident in focusing on my moves, i then grabbed the chair that tied me up and smashed his head with it, it did nothing at all

He was unfazed as the chair did no damage.

I stood there eagerly propping up my position, davis is there in his seat still tied up.

And the rest of the goons in the area are ready to take me down if anything goes south.

How will i, get out of this?

I need to focus, i need to harness my skill.
