The Assassin of two Worlds

Chapter 3

I'm sitting down at the bar listing to Carl as he try's to hook up with a 'chick' as he calls them. I take a sip of my beer and I can't help but be annoyed. The awful smell of cigar, alcohol and a few hundred other disgusting smells linger in the air. Of all the good bars in New York, and Carl and his buddy's had to pick this one. Nothing but a dump if you ask me. The floor is all sticky and dirty, the seats and stools are old, rusty and uncomfortable, and I swear if I see the old, disgusting and dirty goddam bartender hit on another woman again with his insulting and perverted lines, I'll probably lose it and rip out his ball with my bare hands and shove them down his throat. Dammit Carl you have the worst taste in bars I have ever seen, and his taste in women isn't any better either. I sigh to myself as I try to think of a good excuse to get the hell out of here. The suddenly it hits me.

"Hey Carl."

Carl - "Give me one second sweet heart I need to talk to my friend, ok?"

He walks over to me and places his hand on my shoulder.

Carl - "Hey man I got good news. That lady I was talking too just told me her friend is interested in some company tonight." He raises his eyebrow trying to send me a message. Even if the message is self explanatory.

"What friend?"

He points at the lady standing on the left side of the woman he was talking to and a look of discuss surfaces in my face.

"Um dude."

Carl - "Yeah? What you think? Hot right?"

"Dude, that's a dude."

Carl - "What?"

"And so is your, and I quote, 'lady friend' "

Carl - "Your kidding right? How can they be dudes?"

"Carl they're hermaphrodites. Well.... one of them is. The other is just a guy dress like a girl."

Carl - "Wait witch one is the dude and witch one is the girl with an extra part?"

I smirk and say "I'll leave you to figure it out." I pat his back and stood up from the stool I was sitting and walk towards the door. "Goodnight Carl"

Carl - "Wait where are you going?"

"Home. I'm tired and this night is nothing but a bust."

Carl - "But you haven't pay your drinks"

By the time he said that I was already outside and before the door closed I said "I told the bartender you would pay for me. Good luck with the 'girls' Carl"

Poor Carl maybe I was a little cruel when I told him the truth. Oh well he was going to figure it out eventually at lest now he won't figure it out after he's in bed with the 'girl with the extra part'. Knowing Carl he'll probably still do her, specially since his already drunk as hell. I can already picture the conversation tomorrow 'Hey Carl how was last night?' 'Dude I fucking hate you I almost went out with the wrong one.' 'And by wrong one you mean the dude or the girl with the penis?' 'Fuck you' 'Sorry I can't I need a woman. You however got a woman and a dude at the same time. Unless you became a homo for the night.' 'Shut up!' I chuckle as I keep thinking about how mad he'll be tomorrow. Hu, tonight wasn't all that bad. At least I have something to laugh at. I walk down the sidewalk heading for my car as I kept thinking about my to do list. Up until now I have 3 orders of fake samurai swords for decorations to fill, 5 computers to fix, 2 laptops I need to program with an antivirus, 6 bounties and 1 hack job, something about being able to download free movies or something. Dam I'm busy, but at least I get a good pay out of it. I cross the street and head left down the block and I can already see my car in the distance. Only a few more feet and I'm heading home. That's when I get the same feeling I got back in the parking lot. Someone is watching me again and whoever it is, it doesn't want me to get to my car. I can feel it because whoever is watching me, was waiting for me to get close to my car. Whatever it wants from me must be pretty important to them to have been waiting for me all this time. I don't stop walking not once, I just keep acting natural like I didn't notice anything as I head for my car. I take out my keys from my pocket, but that's not all I take out. Once I'm at my car I open the door and step in. Strange, I got to my car and nothing happened. Maybe it wants to strike in a more privet area. I don't like it. I turn on the car and head out to my apartment. If I'm gonna fight I want to fight somewhere I can get more weapons. The drive is short and quick, as I reach my building. Like always I head down to the underground parking lot and park my car in my reserve parking. Every movement I make is natural and calculated. If I'm going to become the hunter I need to fool my prey first, and what better way to do it than by letting it believe I don't know it's coming. I head for the elevator and press the button acting like I don't have a care in the world. Suddenly all the lights go out, even the elevator stops. They used an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) on the area. Cleaver, not even the cameras are working. However they just walked into their own doom. I smile as the darkness engulfs everything. My eyes adjust instantly and I can see as clear as day down here and with out a single light in the area my enemy would need to use night vision googles to see me and even then he won't be able to see me perfectly. I on the other hand can. This might just be a bit fun for me. Now let's see how many enemies I need to deal with. I close my eyes for a moment and listen to everything around me, every step, every drop of water, every heart beat, everything. By my count they are 5 heart beats in the parking lot. Six if I count my own. I also hear light step in the distance heading towards me. Whoever they are they were train to be sneaky. Unfortunately their dealing with me. I then hear a shot of something, a dart to be precise. I dodge it perfectly and jump to my right landing next to my car. I turn and place my back to my car and look over at where the dart hit the wall. It release a strange smell. A tranquilizer dart, they want me alive. That's a bit calming, but I don't plan on letting them catch me so easily. That's when I prepare a plan of action. I hear another dart coming from in front of me. I look over to the direction and I see it. I don't doge, instead I catch it and I flip over my car landing on it other side. Right now I'm in between two cars. Perfect. I hear a heart beat in front of me and I look over. How odd I can only see a strange silhouette. No matter I can worry about that later. Another dart heads my way, I throw the one I catch and catch the other one just in time to sprint towards my target. He dodge the first dart but he wasn't quick enough to doge me. I plunge the dart on his shoulder and he goes down for the count. I manage to feel his skin for a bit, it felt scaly like a reptile's. I payed little attention to that and keep sprinting pass my first target. One down 4 more to go. I hide again in between two cars that where behind my target and wait. I listen once again and three cars to my left there's another one heading towards me and two cars to my right another one also moving towards me. Their planing to surround me from behind and in front. I smirk and ready my self. They both are nearing in and then when they look between the cars they see I'm not there. Suckers they don't realize I'm above them hanging from one of the fire emergency water pipes. They both close in and wonder were I am. One of them turns around and walks a few steps away reaching the front of the two cars. They don't realize I'm watching them as my focus is on the one still in the middle of the two cars. My turn to strike. I make a small jump and twist my body a bit to grab the pipe and swing myself forward towards the one in the middle while the other one has his back towards him. I kick my target hard sending him flying to where his partner had fallen asleep after my strike. I use the momentum to send me flying forward towards him for the finishing move. The other one notice and turned around ready to fire some darts. Unfortunately it was to late, he fire and in midair I twisted my body so I would land facing the darts. However I wasn't gonna be the one hit by the darts. I land pass my target grab his shoulders pulling him up so he stands in between me and the darts, my own little living shield. Three darts hit his abdomen, I grab one and throw it straight to the other's neck. Bullseye. From my left another one shots but I was to quick. I dodge the dart and sprint towards him like a ninja, head and body partially down with arms back like an arrow. He rapid fire at me but I was to fast for him. When I'm only inches from him I grab one of the darts that he shot and sling it back towards him hitting his arm in his futile attempt to doge it. Now only one stands. I turn around and see him standing over the two targets I had take down previously. I ready myself for him to shot and I kinda felt like I was in a classic old west showdown.
