Booker rose up from the water and gasped for air.
"easy now, take a moment to breath."
"That priest needs to learn the difference between baptizing a man and drowning him."
Kain laughed at the statement before telling him that they needed to keep moving.
They walked patiently through the garden-like area till they reached the exit, when they did Booker eyed the ground that started to rise up, Kain however wasn't at all comfortable.
"we need to find a landmark, I don't like flying blind."
Booker's statement brought forth more laughter from Kain who relaxed a little as the bridge rose up and they could walk further into the city.
"well the only landmark that you'll find here would be monument island, that's where they keep they keep the lamb, come on, I'll show you."
Booker followed Kain, they had to stop a few times though, bridges were down to allow some kind of festival to continue, the former wasn't really impressed but the latter started to inspect them and the other people quietly, Booker nearly missed it with Kain's strange eyes but when the man squinted to see a small mark on one of the woman on the other side of a lowered bridge, she was young, a little younger than Kain himself but there was a certain feel about her, it mimicked Kain in a sense of secrecy.
"Who is she? Well Booker that is a very close friend of mine, her name is Amy, she's, well she's different than the others here."
the investigator wasn't even going to ask how Kain knew what he was thinking but merely asked him how she was different.
"That my friend is privileged information, I'm sorry but I can't give it to you, she is with me though so you don't need to worry."
When the bridge rose after the commotion had passed by Kain walked casually to Amy, not trying to arouse suspicion Booker walked with him.
"Ah Kain, it's good to see you again, who is your friend?"
"Booker DeWitt, Ma'am."
he was real gentleman like and Amy smiled before looking to Kain and kissing him.
Booker felt like an idiot, and the pair laughed at him but he saw that there was something else, Kain was moving something around in his mouth, trying to move it behind his teeth.
"Marvelous day wouldn't you say mister DeWitt?"
Kain moved his hand over his mouth, his companion quickly found out was happening.
"Yes ma'am, so what is happening on this warm sunny day?"
"Ah well today is the raffle, what do you think all this commotion is?"
"Ah yes the raffle, I'm sorry it must've slipped my mind as I looked at the marvelous city around me."
Kain yawned and slammed his jaws down hard before saying that he needed to go.
"Aw? So soon? Oh well, take care."
they kissed again before Amy walked away like nothing happened.
"What was that?" asked Booker but Kain ushered him to not mention it, till they are out of sight at least.
"Come on, it's time to cause a little stir, we are going to the raffle but I first want to show you two things."
Kain led Booker to a clear view of monument island, it was in the easiest sense a massive metal angel in the distance, the second thing that he was shown however was far more alarming.
A warning with five different pictures, one was a horrified claw-like hand with the letters AD printed on, the same letters on Booker's own right hand, another a picture of a eye, but it looked exactly like Kain's own eyes, the other three were odd pictures but Booker didn't bother to look at them.
"What is this?"
Kain laughed slightly before stretching slightly.
"It's a warning of the 'false shepherd' and his evil associates, he-he it's actually kind of funny to be honest, come on, it won't look good if we are here for too long."
They continued their walking to the raffle but were stopped by a locked gate and a machine that refused to unlock it for them.
Booker turned his head in frustration but quickly looked again, Amy was standing there casually humming to herself, with a basket hanging against her lightly by a strap.
"Wait weren't you-"
a tap on his shoulder silenced him quickly.
"I'm sorry it must just be me, the sun must be getting to me, free samples huh?"
Amy smiled passively as the man took one of the bottles out and drank it.
His eyes betrayed him as he saw Amy make a heart and blow a kiss to him, wherever she moved there was a greenish mist left behind, when she blew her kiss however it all started to turn back to normal.
"Wow what was that?"
Amy smiled and there was no signs that she had done anything but Kain told him that it was a vigor, the sign next to the woman called it possession.
"Try it on the machine back there."
"how?"
The pair laughed at his question and Kain led him to the machine.
"Feel the power in your body, feel the surge of what you want and 'throw' your hand at what you want to hit with it, your body will do the rest."
He did and a ghostly apparition of a woman surged forward, hitting the machine and by some miracle it was fooled, allowing them to pass.
"Nice trick huh? Well be glad that you can get vigor's and not plasmids, those really have bite to them, anyway, come on, we got to cause some trouble."
They barely took a few steps before a boy ran to them and gave DeWitt a telegram.
The message on it made little sense to him but Kain let loose a evil laugh.
"Wonderful, come on, I know where to go."
They walked calmly and casually to some kind of event.
When they were right at it a woman stopped Booker, some random woman with a basket full of baseballs, marked with numbers, she convinced him to take a ball.
"What you get? Seventy-seven?"
"ya how did you know?"
"Call it a hunch, and here's another, you're about to be called up to claim the prize of first throw."
Kain's hunch was right and silently he predicted that Booker was going to throw the announcer, yet again his prediction was correct, well sort of, the mark on Booker's hand was spotted and he was grabbed by policemen.
"Time for some fun." Mocked Kain as he popped his knuckles and waited
