Angel followed David to the outskirts of town, where he met with a bunch of demons. Angel didn't get a good look at them, they were robed, but from the look on David's face, he really didn't like them, and he really really didn't want to be there.
"Did you get The Ring?" One of them asked
"Almost, it was in my hands." David replied
"And?" Asked another
"It... I ran into some trouble."
"What happened to the ring?"
"It was taken from me."
Angel listened further. 'Come on Dave' he thought.
"But I can get it back, it'll just take some time."
"Time is what we are running out of." Said the largest demon, who stood towering at least a foot and a half over David.
"I'll get it." David said
"I hired you because of your expertise." Continued the demon "But I'm staring to doubt you Bull's eye."
"I won't fail you. Just give me some time."
The demon sighed.
"But in the meantime, make yourself useful."
He handed David a folder, Angel tried to look at the contents, but, from his spot on the roof, he was too far away to see what it was. David looked at the page, and his face went pale. He closed the folder back and handed it to the demon.
"I don't do that any more."
"I think you do." Said the demon, as the other demons pressed in on David "Do this, and maybe I'll feel a little gracious."
David sighed, then took the folder back, he nodded.
"Good, good."
David's eyes went blank. Something was seriously wrong.
"Who's the mark?"
"Does it matter?"
David paused, and shook his head no.
"Good. Now, I liked the work you did with those guards last night, that was brilliant, swift and quick. Now, this man, some pain would be nice, but don't go out of your way. Just make sure there's no evidence. I want him gone without a trace."
David nodded, and turned to leave.
"And Bull's eye."
David stopped.
"You know the price of failure."
David sighed. He did.
"Bull's eye..." One of the demons asked "Why do they call you Bull's eye? I never knew."
With lightening fast speed David reached into his jacket and pulled out four Chinese stars and threw them. Two landed in the eyes, one in the neck, and one in the heart. The thing dropped dead before it realized what happened.
"Now you do. I don't miss."
And with that, he turned and left. About ten blocks later, David turned off into an alley and fell over, vomiting. He began to tremble. Angel wanted to help, but then he'd know he was following him, and Angel wouldn't get to see what happened next.
David walked to a park, and there stood a man.
"You Bill?" David asked
The man nodded.
"Are you who I'm supposed to meet?"
David didn't answer.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Name's Bull's eye."
David summoned up a sword, and with that, he drove the sword into Bill's chest. Poor bastard didn't even get a chance to scream. He was dead with in a heart beat. The sword disappeared and David bent over and dragged the body into the woods, Angel knew that lead to the river. A little while later, David came out, hands covered in blood.
Your hand has blood on it
It's not mine.
David stood there for a moment, thinking about what he'd just done.
Is the person alright?
I imagine not.
And then David fell over, vomiting and crying.
I don't do that anymore.
Oh, I think you do.
Angel closed his eyes tightly.
"Oh Dave." He murmured "What have you gotten yourself into?"
I liked the work that you did on those guards last night. It was brilliant, swift and quick.
David looked down at his bloody hands in disbelief, and then, got up and walked back to Angel's mansion. Angel followed, where he watched David rinse the blood in the fountain and adjust his clothes and hair in his reflection in the water. He wiped the tears from his face and wiped his mouth on the back of his hands. Angel hurried into the mansion and sat on the couch, and watched David come in.
"Hey Dave."
"Hey Big Bro." David said "I'm wicked tired."
"Long night?"
It took David a moment to answer this. His eyes were blank for a moment, then he answered.
"Not particularly."
"What'd you do?"
"Nothin' much, went around."
"Have fun?"
Once again, it took David a moment to answer, as his eyes went blank and he relived his murder. Then he joked:
"In this town?"
Angel sighed.
"I'll take the couch..."
"No, I'll take it."
"You're a guest."
"All the more reason for me to... you mean to tell me that all these rooms and you don't have a spare bedroom."
Angel sighed and rolled his eyes, then pointed to a room across the hall. David sighed.
"Night Bro." He yawned
"Night." Angel said "Sweet dreams."
David stopped in his walk for a moment, the continued on to the room.
