Chapter 39: "I hate this place"
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI hung my head as I walked down the stairs. Marrow sat on my back leading me. I pushed through the crowd and left the building with a bitter sigh and walked on.
"So where to now?" I asked.
"That way." He pointed.
I kept on in the direction and continued wishing it would just end and never bother me again. I walked past a few stands and Marrow gripped onto my neck and leaned toward them, pulling me down to it's contents. I looked down at the table of leather goods wondering what he was doing. After fiddling around he dropped down to the table and lifted up to me a belt with three pouches; a large one in the middle with two smaller ones a short distance away.
"What d'you think Monkey?" Marrow asked.
"Neat."
He handed me the belt and after I weaved it the loops of my jeans and slipped the pouches on the right spot, I buckled it. It fit well and was comfortable. The larger pouch to my back and the smaller ones on my sides, I still had free movement.
"Wait one more thing, while you were off some bloke walked up to me. Said he was a friend and handed me this piece of guff." Marrow said bringing up a white and red cloth.
I took it and looked it over, knowing exactly what it was. "So Huang makes a cameo." I said with a lighthearted smile.
I tied it around my left wrist and felt just a little more confidant.
"Let's get moving. I feel like kicking some ass." I said with determination.
"At's the spirit." Marrow said hopping up. "Now mush." He said pointing off.
I jogged off with a vigor rivaled by a tiger. I had a blood rush that wasn't gonna stop. Marrow's direction lead to an even larger building with plenty of people. I walked in ready for anything. I looked around the amass of people.
"What is this place?" I asked.
"Tall, dark and ugly's pad. I kinda like it." Marrow answered. "That way." He pointed off.
I walked through the crowd to an elevated section with more people and continued looking around.
"Oi!" Marrow called out.
I followed his gaze to see the very same thing that had taken Twi. It gave off the very same grin it did when it nearly killed me.
"Hey asshole!" I yelled out to him.The marks traveled down my arm to my hand and made the pistol again."I'm taking back what's mine motherfucker!"
I aimed at him and fired off a shot. He ducked and his grin shifted into a sneer. Everyone poured out and left only the two of us and Marrow. I still aimed the strange weapon at him and fired off again. He ducked and dodged each shot as I fired them. He quickly made his way to us and I opted out of the pistol to fists. I punched and connected with his jaw and he swung back. I dodged and wound back to let out a kick. He caught it and twisted to spin me around.
With the snap of his fingers a hole opened and it pulsated and glowed. He pushed forward and let go as I stumbled into it.
"Oh son of a-"
I fell through the portal and free fell.
"BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!"
