"Anything?" The mysterious figure asked with a hint of interest in his voice.

Lincoln managed to move through the pain and tilted his head just enough to look directly at the figure before him.

Lincoln immediately notices that the figure is that of an old man with the usual wrinkles and white hair. He also wore a scarlet robe-like suit which was shown by a nearby street light. In the old man's hand was a long black walking cane with a skull shaped diamond on the tip top.

"P-Please save my sister. She is in that van!" Lincoln muttered with a cough.

"You said that you will do anything if your sister is saved from death, Correct?" The old man asked as if what Lincoln said tickled his fancy far more than the young lady about to die a few feet away.

But Lincoln didn't feel like questioning this further as he knows that his sibling is in grave danger. Besides, what are the chances that he'll see this old man again?

"Y...Yes, Anything!" Lincoln replied with a loud mutter.

"Alright." The old man began. "I'll save your sister from her doom, But you will owe me in the future. Do I make myself clear?" boomed the old man in a serious tone.

He then extended his hand out towards Lincoln.

"We can even shake on it to make our debt official." the old man grinned.

"But..." Lincoln before he was interrupted.

"DO YOU WANT ME TO SAVE YOUR SISTER OR NOT, BOY?" The old man screamed furiously making Lincoln's heart stop for a brief second.

The old man's face mellowed once more.

"Now then. Shake a poor sinner's hand."

Lincoln knew that he couldn't waste time, He used all of his strength to raise his right hand to shake the old man's hand. But as he was about to meet, Lincoln felt something, Like something trying to tell him to not trust this guy.

The old man noticed Lincoln's hesitation and grew restless.

"HURRY BOY, TAKE MY HAND!" The old man yelled.

Lincoln decided to ignore his feeling and put his hand in the old man's. Lincoln felt a little sting on his wrist and winced to the sudden pain. A small line of blood started to drip from the two hands, down Lincoln's arm.

Lincoln then felt some form of energy flow through his arm and into his body. He felt like his insides was burning up until it stopped.

"It is done!" claimed the old man, sounding quite satisfied.

With that, the old man released Lincoln's hand, allowing for it to fall back down onto the ground as he walked past Lincoln and into the wreck site. Due to the rising flames and smoke from the crashed vehicles, Lincoln couldn't see past the fire where Lori was. After a few seconds, Lincoln heard the sound of a vehicle door opening and then closing. The old man walked into the direction where Lincoln was laying on the ground, Lincoln saw that Lori was in the arms of the old man. The old man stopped walking and layed Lori down carefully yet firmly next to Lincoln. The old man then looked down at Lincoln and said...

"See you soon, boy." in a creepy voice

The old man began to walked away from Lincoln, disappearing into the darkness of the night. Lincoln started to think about the strange encounter until he remembered a small detail about the old man as he was speaking to him before leaving.
