The Punishing Knights ~ The Punisher And Moon Knight

Confidential Information

"-Uh, Marc, are you all right mate? Marc does not seem to hear him, because he continues to move heaven and earth to find Gods only knows what.

-No, no, no, fuck, where the hell is it ?! The American is now attacking the couch, sending a pillow to fly about two centimeters from the mirror where the British man is.

-What are you looking for ?

-Oi Steven! The pyramid, where did you put it?!

-What pyramid ?

-The one I put on the bedside table, it's not there anymore!

-Ah yes that one, I put it in my pockets when I went out in town I think.

-No, I've already looked, it's not there! He answered before starting to rummage around the apartment looking like a maniac.

-Is it just me, or is this pyramid way more important to you than it should be?

-It-It's not that, it's just-." He starts throwing objects in the air again while searching the surroundings, as if to avoid Steven's question.

When he realizes that Marc is starting to get even more erratic than he already was, making him almost look like Jake, he starts to get a little anxious himself. Jake isn't mean, well, he's not too mean to him. But he is so unstable, you might think he has several different personalities himself, well he does in a way but anyway. And honestly, that scares Steven sometimes...

"-Hey, hey, breathe a little Marc, will you? I was the one who had it, so I should be able to find it, right? ...Yeah, okay, we'll find it. What is so special about this pyramid? I thought he bought it for me...

-Ok, okay, Steven, where did you put the pyramid?

-Oh, um, well, I got out of the house, then I turned left, then, I went to say hello to Marguerite, the baker at the corner of the street, then-

-Uh, Steven, a little faster please, will you?

-Sorry, hm, oh yeah! I was walking down an alley, when I rounded the corner of a building, ran into someone and...

-And what ?

-And maybe I dropped it on the floor and forgot to pick it up before I left...

-Are you kidding me ! Okay, look, we're gonna go back to where you lost it and hope to find it. Hopefully no one had pick it up yet. Or it'll just be in a trash can or something...

-But why is it so important?

After all, he has a right to know why this pyramid matters so much, doesn't he?

The man in the center of the room seems quite distraught by the question. Before heaving a resigned sigh, he answers to the question of the British man.

"Look, it just has sentimental value ok? Layla was the one who gave it to me and since she is in London, I won't see for a while...''

It is obviously a lie, but can we really blame him for trying to protect the one he considers his little brother since... well since quite a while now? Steven frowns a bit at Marc's implausible lie, especially given how eager he seems to find the pyramid. And, considering the fact that he's never seen it before, there's very little chance it's really a gift from Layla and nothing else. But hey, after all, it might be possible (yes, Steven is a bit naive.)

''-Hum hum.

-Ok, we're just going to follow your steps to town, okay?

-Okay."
