Sun Within The Darkness

Chapter 8: Another Way

Next day where the sun hasn't shine, Checker went out the house with Reborn seeing his leave.

Checker turned around and asked, "Are you sure about this decision Reborn? I could help you bring them down faster than you think." Reborn shook his head, "You are well known Checker, especially in the deep part of the dark world. If they learned the fact you involved yourself something bad might happen... we want Shin to regain the normal life that is supposed to be."

Checker nodded, "I understand Reborn... it would be hard to bring his normal life back, especially your targeting the deep ones. You think you have an idea how to protect him without making the whole world know about it?" Reborn smirked, "Well you do know the way to keep the information check right, even hid the whole truth."

"Which I'm supposed to do after everything is over." Checker said as he chuckled, "Vindice might react to your activities."

"I heard Sensei is taking care of them." Reborn informed which surprised Checker for a moment, "If it's her surely they will be forcedly convince." The young adult nodded, thinking the same as him. Checker smiled, "I will do everything I can to support you and Shin, give my regard to him when he wakes up. Until then Reborn."

He walked away, leaving Reborn to see him left before getting in and closed the door.

Somewhere in the dark valley, there's someone standing in the bloody place. Around that person were the corpses, from their outfit must be gangsters that lure around the dark. The only life remaining was the one responsible for their massacre, it was the serial killer.

"Useless fools." He muttered as he kicked the nearest corpse to its face, 'None here recognized a man in fedora, would that mean he's not acting alone like us and uses tugs to get information? No, these fools told me they never met someone asking questions about us nor anything related that could pinpoint us. I even killed the possible people that could get information... unless...'

Little by little it seems the serial killer is realizing something very critical that they must never turn a blind against.

'If that is true... we must prepare for the worst.'

Sun rises in the home where Shin and Reborn lived, the young adult was preparing breakfast for them. His pet Leon was watching his master cook until he sensed someone coming. It was Shin who just woke up.

"Good morning Reborn." Shin greeted as he headed to his sit. Reborn smiled, "Morning Shin, Checker already left."

"Oh, why didn't you wake me up Reborn?"

"He said he doesn't want to bother your sleep, knowing you sleep really late."

Shin flinch to that, he tried to keep his activity which were researching to make plan for their next action and do some preparation a secret but Reborn and Checker still got him. Just how could they do that?

"Here." Reborn gave his cup of black coffee, Shin smiled. "Thank you Reborn."

He began to drink his coffee which he found really delicious, Reborn never complain since he loved espresso. He readies the meal before putting them on the table and they began to eat. Leon was on the side, munching his food that his master gave, the food was really delicious and he wanted to eat more of his master's cooking.

"Reborn what do you think is the best alternative course?" Shin asked in wonder. Reborn drink his espresso before clarifying, "About them Shin?" He nodded. He gave a little thinking before answering, "What we're doing now is a fine progress Shin. The first plan is not only show them their existence but also their nature. Are you thinking something else to do?"
