The Punishing Knights ~ The Punisher And Moon Knight

The Pyramid Mystery

Once home, Marc places the shopping bags on the floor to turn on the lights and hang his keys on the key hook. They installed this after Steven forgot them in his jacket pockets, and they almost went through the washing machine. He finally takes off his shoes and his jacket, before retrieving the bags and putting them on the kitchen counter, to start unpacking everything.

"-Hey Steven, are you there buddy? I bought you some almond milk.'

No, nothing ? Well, he must be sleeping I guess. He ends up taking out all the food from the grocery bags, which contains in particular for Steven: almond milk, strawberries and vegan chocolate. For himself: organic eggs, bags of frozen fruits and vegetables to make protein shake, and of course Jake's steak, hoping it's the right kind because he's pretty picky about it. It is true that he didn't buy a lot of things but anyway most of the time they order or stop to eat street food outside. Besides, he doesn't even know how long they'll be staying in New York. After putting everything in the fridge he decides it's time to get back to work. He approaches their bedside table to find nothing, uh what? I'm sure I left it there... He starts looking for her before realizing anything. Steven... Damn the figurine, Khufu also call Cheops like the pyramid of Cheops, and he, who thought it would go unnoticed, given the number of things related to ancient Egypt already in the apartment. How did Steven even manage to bring back so much useless stuff, that's a good question. Marc turns around feeling like he's being watched, only to come face to face with Jake in the mirror. Looking at him with disapproval in his eyes.

"-What ?

-I didn't say anything, I just thought you shouldn't lie to him like that.

-I'm not lying to him. What he doesn't know can't hurt him.

-I thought we had agreed not to hide elements of our lives from him anymore.

-He doesn't need to know everything either...

-If you say so amigos but I remain convinced that it will fall on you at one time or another.

When he looks in the mirror again, he sees only his own reflection. He slips his head into his hands and tugs a few strands of his hair. He sighs loudly before releasing his head, this kind of discussion has the gift of making him feel shitty.

I'm only trying to protect him from things he doesn't need to know... Letting out a grunt of frustration, he starts looking for where the hell Steven put that damn pyramid...

Slamming the door of the trailer Curtis lent him, Frank pours water into his pit bull's bowl. The man then lies down on the sofa, hoping to be able to get some sleep before going back to "his" research.

However, something sharp digs into his side, causing him slight discomfort. What the fuck is this shit? Frank plunges his hand into one of the pockets of his jacket, to pull out a small pyramid.

"-Oh, do you remember that, big boy?"

Laughs Castle, waving the pyramid in front of his dog's nose.

''-He had been quite scared, the poor guy. Afraid of you or me? What do you think boy? ''
