-------------------------------------------------------------

The Man in Black stepped out getting in between the girl and the gang of thugs.  "You guys may have your reasons however I have just been asked for help" The man said in a calm measured voice "And since the one that is asking is at a severe disadvantage it feels only just to side with her"

"Well then You have made a mistake" The man clutching his broken wrist turned to face his men "take this one out of the way, He's in the way of our reward"

The group of men all closed in, Even those which had distanced themselves when they were capturing the child as she pleaded for them to leave them her alone.  It seemed as if they had no issue with taking out an adult man.

The man in black looks down at the ground behind him to the child covered in snow and dirt. "You will be okay."

The child looked up, met his unflinching gaze and nodded her thanks.

The man in black clenched his fists As he closed his eyes turning his head up to the Red sky.

"You're a goner now" the man said with a snarling voice "Get him!" He spat out

All the men present charged at the Men in Black.  But the Men in Black could not get touched.  As they swung at him his body seemed to sway with the blows so no one was able to lay a hand on them.  Till someone tried to take a sweep at the man in Black's feet.  The man leaned down driving the child in his arms and jumping forward avoiding the attack spinning in air so he would land on his back not hurting the child and he slid in the snow eyeballing all the men With what seemed to be the first time soberness taking him over. 

"Are you okay" the girl still in the man in black's arms clutched at his jacket as she stared up into his eyes.

The man looked down his eyes revealing a smile underneath his mask. "I am fine." He answered as he got up off the ground still carrying the little girl and then set her down to his side.  She reluctantly let loose her grip of his coat slightly but never totally letting go as she slid down her grip towards the hem of his jacket.

The snarling angry broken armed man looked with aggravation to the man in black "You are one of them just like that child" He spat out "Just another freak"

His men took a few steps back One turning around to look at the angry leader. "But it took all of us jumping that little girl to finally capture her" He said defeat in his voice. Then looking back at the man in black "This one's well trained, He has experience and knows exactly how to use the Seers ability"

"Well then just think of it this way, instead of getting paid a small sum We can get three times the amount actually getting one who's experienced in combat" The angry boss said a smile finally gracing his lips "And if any of you die in the process of capturing him and that increases the profit s for the rest of us." The man's grid never truly reached his eyes. 

The men all looked at one another.  Thinking the same thoughts that they're boss must have had.  The man right next to them might die but if so that's more money for them.  One by one a sinister smile appeared on each of their faces as If it were contagious.  And one by one turning their sinister smiles towards the man in black.

"This is not good" The Man in Black said under his breath to the little girl.

"What do you mean, Why?" The girl questioned in little more than a whisper.
