Chapter 1: Concealed Pair

There was the slight sound of metal sliding against metal before the man shrouded in darkness was seen for just a moment as he moved swiftly about the trees, leaving an unconscious man behind him as the sound of the barking dogs that tracked the man drew closer..

The man was now moving through the branches of the trees as he relied on agility more than that of most ordinary humans. Finally he stopped moving after jumping forward, grasping the necessary branch in both his hands as his momentum caused him to spin upward, as he let go he flipped and landed in a crouching position onto the branch. As he crouched blaring lights clicked on, finally illuminating the once hidden man. His shaggy red-ish brown head of hair hanging into his tired, half lidded, red on black eyes. For the situation he was currently in he was dressed rather casually, a black t-shirt under his worn brown leather duster, a pair of loose fitting faded jeans with a hole torn over his right knee, the ends hanging slightly frayed from where they dragged just slightly over the ground in the past with a black leather belt helping to hold them up and finally a pair of ratty black fingerless gloves over his hands.

He stood up straight on the branch and rubbed the heel of his gloved hand against the slight stubble that lay upon his face before casually placing it behind his back, staring out at the several men stood before him under the lights and he squinted his odd eyes slightly, trying to adjust to the new light as fast as he could.

"Remy LeBeau…" A gruff voice said from under the lights, standing just so that he could not be seen because of them. And with a nod one of the men stepped forward.

"Remy LeBeau. Ya are charged wit' de murder of très members of the de guild. We already got de confi'mation dat Jon Luc won't beh fightin' dis. Now come wit' us."

"'Fraid not mon ami. See dere's dis t'ing I have 'bout bein' killed an' what not. Kinda puts a dampeh on future plans ya know?" And with a smirk Remy brought his right hand from behind his back and up by his left shoulder, revealing three playing cards as the glew pink with kinetic energy. In an instant he threw his arm outward sending the three cards flying through the air towards the three blaring lights. Upon contact the lights exploded just enough to cause sparks to rain down on the men before him, giving Remy enough time to slip away unnoticed and home free, so to speak.
