Jade slipped out of the cafe keeping close to the shadows, she had seen Creed casually waltzing through town. He had taken a turn down a alley a few buildings down, she was sure of that much but that was all she knew. Jade paused at the alley opening glanced down it, seeing nothing but a stray cat sitting on a garbage can staring at her bright golden eyes. She could almost hear what the others say if she continued any further, They would have her neck for this, but she had to know what Creed was doing, she just had to know. With everything going on she just couldn't let him walk freely though a town knowing that some one could end up dead in the process. So with no further hesitation she began her decent into the dark alley way in hopes of at least sneaking a peek at what creed was up too.
"Its going to be night soon,"Eve began to say glancing up at the sky as they walked down the side wake, then looked up at Sven, "We need to find Train and Jade soon and our bounty." She added, it wasn't going to be easy but they had to get it done. Once night fell the town turned dangerous and Jade didn't know the town all that well. Plus Train could get himself into trouble, but He would come home for dinner sooner or later, he always did. "What are we going to Sven?" Eve asked quietly, curious if he had been planning anything or they were just going to wing it and hope for the best.
Sven rubbed at the back of his neck and sighed "I`m unsure, we are just gonna have to get to work on this job and hope we run into them...that`s all we can do right now..."He said really wishing he had more of clue what to say or do on this whole matter. He knew there was no sense in worring anymore on the matter, they were adults they could do as they pleased but it stilled bugged him when Train thought he could do everything on his own. There nothing wrong relying on another person or asking for help once in a while.
Sven pulled out a random bounty poster and sighed once more as his eye scanned over the page , "So we are after Marty Targonie.. he was a ex mob member, but has been doing a bit of solo work lately...Though a few women have been hurt along the way. As a gentlemen I cant stand by and let this happen any longer."Sven explained stuffing the poster into his pocket with a determined smirk. He had a little built up stress and taking it out on this scum bag sounded rather nice. "Ready?" Sven looked to Eve who nodded before proceeding into the town leaving the car parked at the Cafe`.
A few hours passed with no luck, Sven wanted to give up at this point it was seeming rather useless. They had no leads of any sort to help them out, it was like a wild goose chase at this point. He lit up a cigarette, glancing over at Eve wondering what was going through her little mind right now, she stood very still her eyes seemed focus on something in the distance. It was a bit strange, and he was about to ask her but she was quick to cut him off.
"I smell blood...that way."She said looking at Sven before rushing off hoping he could keep up, she didn`t wish to slow down right now. Eve wanted to get to the source and make sure everything was alright, any time wasted could mean someone die or their bounty got away. The scent of blood was growing stronger as she took a sharp turn a alley way and paused seeing a large shadowy figure standing before her. Eve studied him then noticed a slimmer man standing behind with some one next to him on the ground. It was to dark to make out much more then that, but the smell of blood was coming from over there.
"Why hello little girly."It spoke as a creepy smile spread across his lips, his bright eyes locked on little Eve. Slicing her up would feel so good, he really couldn't wait. The sounds of her screams, while the blood sprayed out with with ever cut, just the thought of it sent delightful shivers down his spine. He took a step forward and glanced back at the slim man "Can I kill her?"He was eager sounding almost like a child asking his mother for permission.
"...You may not kill her, that is my Trains job, but you of course most defend yourself against her if needed to."Creed said as his hands rested on his sword hilt, he let out a soft sigh of contentment. He just enjoyed blood shed and fighting, but nothing more then the thought of Train doing the killing. It brought him a odd joy but joy none the less. A frown crossed his lips disturbing his thoughts at the sound of another set of foot steps echoed towards him, his frowned deepened knowing it wasn't Train. Train was much more graceful and swift, not clumsy and loud.
"Eve!...whats going on."Sven cried as he huffed trying to catch his breath, she was fast for a child, it only made him feel older then he was, but he didn't need to worry about that either, he much more important things to focus on. Picking up the pace, he managed to get into the alley way and make it to her
When he finally caught up to her he had to take a moment to catch his breath before straightening up and surveying the scene. Sven eyes traveled over to the large figure, narrowing his eyes. "Well seems we found Marty..."He said crushing his cigarette under his foot. The odd thing of it all was, he didn't image him to be so tall, and large. Creed mumbled something to Marty hating to have another interruption. When Sven caught the mans voice, he narrowed his eyes, "Creed.."He mumbled irritated,of course out of all people he be the one responsible for this mess.
"and Jade..."Eve added softly not really wishing to admit that part allowed to Sven, afraid he get upset and act irrationally. He had to be smart for this fight, the man was much to large for him to take on by himself. Though Sven had that habit, if something upset him or worried him a great amount he would do something stupid like he yelled at Train for doing so many times. Eve figured that was why he yelled at Train so much, to have him avoid making those stupid mistakes like he had. Train just needed to realize that one day, not just ignore his yelling and think nothing of it. Eve looked over to Sven wondering how he would react what she had told him, judging by his face he hadn't taken it well.
Sven wanted to say something, anything but he just ended up staring at Eve for a minute wondering what she meant then looked past Marty over to Creed and sure enough some one sitting on the ground beside him, it made him a bit uneasy thinking it was her blood Eve had smelled. Creed was probably the reason she slipped out of the cafe. 'Ive told them both a hundred times not to do things alone!' Sven thought shaking his head while he grit his teeth.
"So we have more company, "Chuckled Marty gazing at Sven, he held his knife tightly in his hand "I can kill you, sweepers are fair game."He said rushing toward Sven. "Just die little man." He said laughing manically, he just wanted to see his blood ooze all over the ground, and listen to his screams echo through the dark alley. The crimson color just excited him and he couldn't wait to see it ooze and stain that lovely white outfit of his. He never felt more alive then he did now, and he had the man Creed to thank for it. Though if he had to continue doing boring little task, he may just kill the man and steal the serum. He wasn't going to have all this strength and not be able to use it properly.
"Sven! look out for his knife!."Eve called to him while jumping out of the large mans way, he was big to begin with but some how, He looked like the other man had after drinking spirit water. Her eyes widen wondering if he had gotten his hand on some of that liquid. She figured after all the had happened it was gone, it was over with, but then again if Creed was here, anything was truly possible.
Sven tired to fire his gun but just ended up blocking the knife with his case as he charged him. Thinking quickly on her feet Eve transformed her hand into a hammer and knocked the man into the building next to them, it probably wouldn't be enough to really harm him but it give them some space, and time for Sven to ready his gun. Creed was laughing in the background, a dark laugh, filled with blood lust as he watched there pathetic little battle.
"You can do better!" He called almost mockingly to Marty as he grumbled to himself under the ruble and dirt of the building.
The man pushed off the wall, glaring at them with dark eyes and readied his knife. "Die dammit!" He cried out as he rushed at Sven swinging his knife repeatedly. He keep aiming for his head, wanting to kill the bastard quickly, he found him annoying, and didn't want to waste time on him.
Sven dodged but almost got a knife to the face countless times, he blocked with his suit case and nearly tripped flat on his back a few times as well. The alley way was slick with puddles of grease and rain water, it was making it hard for him to keep this up. He was just getting lucky but had part of his hat and sleeve were cut already, Next time it surely be his skin. He took a moment then knew he had to end this get his hands on Creed. He wanted to know what they were planning before it was too late.
Sven ripped off his eye patch using his vision eye to finish this up, he was able to avoid the horrid knife attacks. His arm had gotten cut a little, but nothing too serious. Sven slipped and almost had the knife plunged into his throat when he saw something in the corner of his eye.
Sven froze watching Marty fall to the ground then turned his gaze slowly finding its way to Train standing behind him and his gun at his side. He really wasn't sure what to think of seeing him here, he was a little grateful but he was more pissed about him being this late. Though having him in the same alley with Creed made him think this could end horribly if he didn't drag his ass out of there fast enough.
"Train!"Cried Creed happily hugging his sword, "You came, I knew you would..."He said with admiration filling his eyes. He put his sword away and took a step forward spearing his arms wide as if to embrace him. " We have been waiting for you to grace us with your presence."
Train froze for a second turning around sharply on his heel, gun raised and aiming for Creed head. "What is going on here Creed." his words felt like ice and his eyes were just as cold. Creed was taken back a little by the cold welcome he recived, he was expecting a little something else. He sighed softly almost as if he was pitying Train then took a step backwards. He wasn't going to push him, he was afraid if he did he push Train away even more, and he didn't want that, not one bit.
"They said you act strange...I was hoping we could finish it up here and then head back.."He said with a frown, he had hoped his partner would have remembered something but no instead he had his gun pointed at him. "They said it take some time..."He mumbled to himself then looked at Jade, who was sitting crossed legged and hunched over. The poor thing was even trembling still, a smirk played across his pale lips. He had sliced her side quite nicely, the blood pooled around her showed that, it was a pleasant sight to be hold. She put up a decent fight but in the end a few simple words, a threat or two those she cared for , and a cut was all he needed to keep her there.
For one reason or another though he was forced to let the witch live for now and he had a message to deliver to her. Then that reminded Creed he had one to give to Train as well. Creed then reached into his pocket and pulled out a red envelope throwing it to Train with a smile, who caught it with two fingers, his gaze unwavering. "I will see you again..."Was all Creed said before he stepped back and almost disappear from sight.
Sven quickly clutched Trains for arm before he even had the chance to chase after him, it was obvious that was his intent just by the looks in his eyes. "Dont even think about it, we aren't having a repeat of last time."Sven scowled at him before releasing him and hurrying after Eve over to Jade. Train remained where he was lowering his gun slowly and casting his gaze else where, he felt a wave of memories and emotion was through him, but he didn't dare show it.
"Can you stand?"Sven asked kneeling before her, his eye traveled to her side, the bleeding had stopped but she had lost plenty of blood before hand. They could probably take care of it, though he feel more comfortable if he manage to convice her to go the hospital..Chances of that happening though were very slim.
Jade slowly looked up at him, her eyes showed fear, worry and anxiety. He could tell this was one rough experience for her. Sven helped her to her feet, "Are you alright?"He asked slowly looking her over, she looked a little shaken up, and beside the cut on her side she looked fine. He knew she been through worse situations then a fight like this, so he didn't understand the reaction she was having now. More went on then the scene obviously lead on.
Jade stumbled a little before she steadied herself, she was about to say something but quickly shook her head. "Im fine."She said atleast then let her gaze drop to the ground. she let out a soft sigh trying to get all her emotions in check before gazing back up at them. "We need to go pay Rins favorite city a visit.."She said shifting her gaze over to Train. "We were given a invitation we sadly...cant refuse..."She sad softly, really wishing she could just ignore it and pretend the invitation was never received. Sadly there was far to much on the line to just ignore it, far too much on the line. Train just stared for a minute, trying to get what she was hinting at then his eyes narrowed. The last invitation he had received from Creed didn't end well, he wasn't going to have that happen again. Without a moment of hesitation he turned away from them, his gun still drawn, and took off in a run.
"Damn it Train!"Sven yelled aggravated, he didn't need his childish behavior.
"Get your ass back here damn it!" Jade called taking after him, which was a stupid mistake on her behalf but she couldn't let him do anything stupid either. "You go alone or avoid it people die! Your friends and those people in the town to be exact!"She cried out before pain ripped through her side. Running after him caused it to open a bit more, fresh blood slowly seeping through her shirt. Jade grit her teeth while clutching her side trying to stay standing. Train just stood there for a moment, letting the words seep in before he tucked his gun away. 'Creed is dead this time.' He mumbled softly before turning around seeing Sven and Eve pull up behind them with the car.
