Chapter 1
Poisoned
The man crept slowly behind the goon and wrapped his arm around his neck applying pressure. As the goon's efforts slowly faltered. He threw the heap to one side and progressed slowly. He tapped the side of his head and his vision was suddenly replaced with a more advanced view of everything in his sight. He expected seven guards, four he had already taken care of, the last three were all slumped on their backs. He straightened up and walked towards one of the bodies, almost immediately his enhanced vision analysed the body. He was dead; two identical holes not so far apart the cause. The holes were made cleanly and were an even distance apart from each other meaning that the cause couldn't have been a gun. The holes were clearly made by a sharp object most likely small twin daggers he concluded. He received the same conclusion from the other two bodies and pressed on, that was a mystery for another day. He reached his objective and tapped the side of his head once again. The figure forced the door open. As he burst in he felt a sharp pain in his neck, he looked at the dart embedded in his neck. Poisoned no doubt but in a matter of seconds his suit's immune system would be disposing of it but till then...

The man stumbled barely managing to keep his balance. He gripped the crate beside him, he could hear the leather scraping against the splintering wood. The mystery could feel it now the bead of sweat rolling down his cheek. It stopped at his chin it lingered before it plummeted, the soft 'plop' rang within his ears. He gradually rose to his- he could feel his brain knocking against its cage. His eyes began to throb. The man trudged a few steps before tripping over his own feet. He suddenly felt the cold ground against his face, he registered this with a grunt. By now he could taste the bitter feeling inside his mouth merging with his saliva. He expectorated and heard the splat before his eyes saw the red substance on the ground. The man lifted himself off the ground before slowly but gradually walking out the door.
