Part X: New Face, or Lack of One?
Kent couldn't sleep at all for the next few nights. He spent most of his daylight time changing is id, closing his bank accounts, opening new accounts, finding another apartments to rent, and wiping himself from existence almost entirely. Pro-Gaming and Beta Testing were jobs he could easily take with him to just about anywhere, so nothing called for a job change. The next step was pinpointing the actual hideout of the freaks.
200 meters north and 500 meters west E 142th Avenue, he thought to himself looking at a detailed map of the city, That puts them right under Brook Street. The 2nd manhole to the south of the CubeSmart Self Storage place is the closest to them. He pulled out a red marker and wrote "X" on the manhole.
His doorbell rang. He shot up. He wasn't expecting company. He walked down silently to the door and looked through the peephole. A black suit was all he could see. Kent didn't like this, not one bit.
"Who is it?" he called.
"Someone who his very interested in you, Mr. Parker," replied a deep, powerful voice. "You seem to share my fondness of our mutual 'friends'."
"How can I trust you?"
"That is not for you to decide."
Okay, that statement makes me want to trust you, Kent chuckled to himself. There was nothing to lose! He unlocked the door. Then, he saw it.
The man's face was burned nearly to the bone. His right eye was white and blind. But what was most terrifying about him was the look he had. It was stern and unyielding.
Needless to say, Kent regretted opening the door. I've just entered Hell, Kent thought to himself.
"I believe you can help me with my Turtle and Rat problems," the man said without changing expression.
Or not.
