Another Regular Day?

Chapter 4: Inside

Once inside I noticed three guys. Two of them were taller and bulkier than the third. The third guy said, "Oh, another customer. You guys know what that means right. That means we're going to kill one of you, and no one here can stop us. All right, everybody line up!" I knew I couldn't give away my position so I just stared looking for Matt.

As soon as everyone lined up I noticed defiance, pride, strength and a mix of other emotions in their eyes. The most prominent emotion though, was fear. I saw Matt towards the center of the group and hope gleamed in his eyes. It was only for a moment, but I was sure of it.

The third guy began pacing the room, his smile growing wider with each step. Nothing but joy was in his face. The other two remained serious. After a moment of silence he stepped up towards Matt. I felt my anger rise a bit but I had to be sure he was going to kill him, if not they would figure out I knew what was happening and they'd kill us both."You," he said pointing to a young woman, "Do you know this dolt? You seemed pretty mad when I stepped up to him."

"No, I don't," was all she said. She seemed pretty calm in this situation. She was fairly attractive. She had blonde hair, and looked no older than 16. Maybe she's a friend of Matt's because she did seem pretty hurt. Maybe it was just the fear. Yet she did look vaguely familiar.

"Ok then. That'll make things a bit boring, you know, 'cause I usually like to see people cry. It's kinda like, my thing," he laughed or a few seconds. Then he used a another smile, it looked fiercer than the first. All the attention was on him and Matt, so I took this opportunity to attack. I used my enhanced speed to reach the closest guard. I used this telepathic move on him which knoked him out. As soon as he was on the floor I was already at the second. He noticed me coming and he ran up to me as well. He was pretty quick, quick enough to dodge my attacks. So I coated myself with metal remembering a comic I read with this guy who could make his skin turn into metal.

After doing that I think he broke his hand hitting me with all his strength. I could tell what with all his momentum. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the leader taking out a knife about to stab Matt in the stomach. I ignored the grunt and sprinted towards him. 

"Hey you're like us aren't you?" He asked me.

"No, I don't kill for the fun of it. Unlike you I try to help people instead of make them suffer. You are a monster. Yet you are a monster I can deal with."

"Oh, I'm so scared," he said this with so much sarcasm that i was going to hurt him for it.

"You should be, just look at your thugs over there. One is out like a baby while the other one's crying for is mom."

"Who them, I can just get two more fools dumb enough to follow me to work. Heck, if you want I'll even get you ten guys to deal with." 

"No thanks, just let him and everyone else you're holding hostage here go."

"Ok and do you want a unicorn with that? Or how about a pig that flies?"

Matt seemed pretty shaken up by now. So shaken up he mouthed out the words, "Don't make fun of him, he'll kill you."

So that's just what I did, I needed to see just what I was up against. "So you're not letting these people go are you?"

"Of course not the boss will be hear soon. Hey by the way were you the guy who sent our boy through that wall and scared of our other guy?"

"Yes and i could do that to you too." I smiled while thinking, he said boss. That meant he works for someone else. Someone higher up than him. Someone, stronger.

"Well you can try. How 'bout this you and me. Lets fight."

"Not much of a challenge considering I took two of you men without a scratch, and I could let these people out myself."

"Are you saying you could take me out quick? 'Cause you are sadly mistaken. Ok then lets make things interesting. If you win then I let these people go, and none of my boys threatens anyone in this town again. If I win, you gotta work for our boss."

"Deal." Matt looked pretty mad, and it had stayed silent between everyone else as well. I was able to hear a few whispers right now though. That's when i recognized the blonde haired girl was the girl in my p.e. class. I had a crush on her for a while now. Her name was Emma. She was one of the prettiest girls there.I wondered why I didn't recognize her.

"Well then, lets get started." The man said smiling with a look that said "you will die."
