A STORY OF OPPOSITES
Ever wonder what it's like to drown?
Story of opposites.
There's peace in water.
Like it's holdin' you, whisperin' in low tones to let it in.
And every problem in the world will fade away.
But then there's this thing... in your head and it's raging.
Lighting every nerve with madness.
To fight.
To survive.
And all the while, this question lingers before you...
„Have you had enough?".
It's funny.
You could pass a lifetime without ever facing a choice like that.
But it changes you forever.
For that, I thank you...
Old friend.
STUBBORN TO THE END
Vi's eyes widened at the sight of Vander and Benzo in the doorframe.
„Vander?" He only sighed at this, coming closer to the girl.
„We don't have much time."
„How did you find me?" Vi asked again. Vander didn't care about that question in the moment, putting his hands on both of her shoulders.
„I'm proud of you. Always have been." He took her face into his hands, showing that he meant every word.
Vi put her hands on his.
„I'm sorry, I... this is the only way to protect the others." She said with panic in her eyes.
Benzo was on watch, making sure that the enforcers wouldn't see Vi.
„Vander!" He said to his friends, making him turn to look at the door. Then he quickly turned around to the girl.
„You've got a good heart. Don't ever lose it. No matter how the world tries to break you. Protect the family."
„What are you-" Vi started, but got cut off by Vander pushing her. When he got to the door, Vi understood what he tried to do. When she started to push back, it was too late.
„No-" Vander let her fall into an empty room, immediately closing the door behind her. With his forehead on it, he breathed out heavily. He knew what he needed to do and it wasn't going to be easy for anyone.
„VANDER! LET ME OUT! THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" Vi screamed on the other side, just in time for Grayson and Marcus to hear.
„I'm guessing that's for me." The woman said, making the younger man go over to the door. He was stopped by Vander, making his eyes widen for a second.
„You gonna let us make the arrest or not?" Marcus said in annoyance.
„You'll oblige a doomed man one last smoke." Vander said calmly, taking out his pipe. Grayson's face turned to a shock one. He took a drag out let out the smoke.
„Won't you?"
She came closer to him, not looking into his eyes while she talked.
„I'm not putting you away, Vander."
„The Council needs its pound of flesh." He argued back. At that, Grayson looked at him in frustration.
„Without you down here, it all falls apart."
Vander put down his pipe, looking down.
„Benzo will handle things. He may not have my devilish charm, but he runs a tight ship."
„VANDER, NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Vi tried to kick down the door, not believing in what she's hearing.
„You won't be coming back for a long time." Grayson said, ignoring the girl's shouting.
„I know." Was all he said, coming over to Marcus with his hands out.
As Marcus cuffed him, the sheriff turned around.
„Why?" She asked Vander.
„Mhm. It's the only way."
The three of them started to walk out, leaving Benzo behind for a moment.
„BENZO! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" Hearing that he just looked away, walking out of the shop.
When Vi was still trying to open the door, she heard screaming outside. The shadows were clear in a little window she had in the room, making it noticeable that someone or something was running around, 'causing panic.
„What's happening?" She said to herself, running over to the little glass.
After a moment of looking at Grayson, her view was blocked by blood splattered on the window. Vi took a step back, not knowing what exactly happened.
Vander, Benzo and Marcus stoop side by side, looking at the dead body of their friend. Benzo took a metal pipe form the floor, keeping it as a weapon.
„What the devil..." he started.
„No..." was all that Vander could say at the scene in front of him.
The three man looked ahead of them, trying to see what in the hell was the thing that killed Grayson, but the only thing they saw was a familiar figure.
Out of the fog came Silco, smiling softly. Vander eyes went wide.
„Silco? You animal. Go crawl back into whatever hole you came out of!" Benzo started to make his way towards him, throwing his hand with the pipe around.
„Benzo, stay back!" Vander screamed, scared of what might happen.
„You never knew when to walk away." Silco said with calm, looking at him with hostility.
„Wait!" Vander tried again, only to see Benzo taking a swing at Silco.
Shortly after, he was attacked by a mysterious creature.
„NO!" Vander fell to his knees, eyes wide with sorrow.
„Hm. Stubborn to the end." Silco commented, looking at Benzo's body.
DEAL'S CHANGED
„What the hell have you done?! This wasn't the deal!" Marcus yelled to him, actually being scared of the whole situation.
Silco came closer to the enforcer, throwing him a bag of golden coins.
„Deal's changed."
Some of the coins fell out of the bag, making them covered in blood.
