The Killings

(Back at the restaurant with Tony)

Tony was just about finished cleaning up after the date. Before he could turn off the stove with a pot of hot boiling water, The lights suddenly flickered off. Tony turned around as he noticed that the door was also suddenly opened. The room was quickly getting cold. He closed the door. But the cold air in the room only got colder, even with the door closed. It got colder and colder as Tony realised what was going on.

"Jr." Tony said as behind him was Dark M Jr. Sitting on the counter as he glared at him with his cold blue eyes.

(Earlier that day)

"Actually I'm not here to eat..well not yet at least. You see, I came here to tell you that I'm planning a date. And I was hoping that we could come here to have our date." Hearing all of this made Tony very happy and proud.

"You want to have a special evening with her?"

"I'd do anything for her."

"Well consider it done, I'd be happy to have the two of you dine here." Tony happily agreed. Shadow thanked his friend as he gave him a hug.

After Shadow left, Tony quickly got on his phone in the restaurant wall to call his wife.

"Honey, I'll be home later, Why? Because Michelangelo's son is back. Yes, he's asked me to prepare him for his da-" Before he could even finish; the line was cut. He tried to call again, but to no avail. He went to go see if the phone wires were alright. He walked to the dining room tables, only to see a dark figure on a chair with his legs resting on the table. It also appeared that he was curving a wooden head figure of Shadow Walker's helmet with his sharp claws.

"You know how that saying goes, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." Well for me, I enjoy breaking it again and again. It's more fun to see how hard it takes for it to heal." He finished as he turned the curving into ash in his hand. Revealing to be Jr. in the restaurant.

"I should kill you for all of the things you have done to that poor boy; causing him so much pain in his life." Jr. got up out of his chair.

"Oh calm down Tony, You act as if killing a child's parents, friends, and girlfriend would scar him or something. And besides, we both know you can't kill me even if you wanted to. Just look how the boy's parents ended up. So let's not doing anything we would regret." He laughed as he walked past him, viewing pictures on the walls.

"Well if you're going to kill me, then kill me." Tony said to him, making Jr. laugh.

"Why..who said I was going to kill you Tony? Well...that is...if you can get something done for me. You see, I know that Shadow or Shadow Walker, whichever you prefer. Lives somewhere in this town. I'm having such a hard time finding where he is. So that's why I came to you." He tossed him a clear bottle with purple liquid inside. Tony caught the bottle and studied it closely.

"What the hell do you want from me? And what is in this bottle?"

"Just something that will make it easier for me to locate Shadow a lot better. All I ask of you is to get him to drink this, pour it in his drink, tell him it's juice I don't care. Do this and you'll never see me again." He gave a evil grin as Tony would never believe or do dirty work for this monster. Jr was just on his way to the door.

"No! I won't do it." He turned around to see a angry Tony refusing to do his bidding.

"No?! and why is that?"

"Because you're asking me to hurt the boy again, after all of the things you did to him. But still you're not satisfied with that? Jr. laughed at his statement as he looked over to a picture in a corner. He picked up a picture of Tony's two daughters.

"Say I didn't know you were a family man. Tony you sly dog you." He giggled as Tony's eyes widened in terror.

"Cute kids I'll tell you that. Iit would be a shame if something were to happen to them." He said as he traced his finger over to the girl's necks on the picture.

"NO! PLEASE NOT THEM! THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! THERE MY ANGELS! SHOW MERCY FOR CHRIST SAKES THEY ARE CHILDREN!" Tony screamed as hearing this made Jr. smile.

"Tony, I tortured Shadow when he was "just a child." What makes you think they won't experience similar torment." Tony got on his knees.

"I tried to avoid this, really I wanted to Tony, but you should know that when I order you to do something, you do as you are told. Oh well, Have fun with the funeral in the next few days, Would love to come but I have my own plans to deal with." Tony was shedding tears, still on the ground as he watched Jr. about to leave again. He didn't know what to do, either betray his friend's son and hand him to his father's murder. Or watch as he takes away his two angels. Tony had no choice.

"Wait! he shouted as Jr. turned his head to him.

"I-I'll do it."

"Excellent! Glad you decided to make the right choice. When you see him again, I don't want you to spoil the surprise about me in town. I'll be watching you closely Tony." He picked him up from the ground and whisper in his ear before leaving:

"Don't disappoint me Tony."

(Back to present day)

Tony knew that he would return to him after failing to not give Shadow the liquid. Tony just couldn't do this, The last thing he wanted to do was let Dark M Jr. destroy Shadow's life, now that it was finally getting better.

"Jr. I can exp-"

"That's alright, no need to explain what you failed to do. I know he was here…" he looked over to the empty plates on the table.

"I also know that you didn't give him this." He took the bottle from the table. Playing with it in his hand as he looked over to an angry Tony. He knew that he failed to do his dirty work, but didn't care on how he was going to torture him.

"But...This is no longer of any use to me." He crushed the bottle in his hand, The cold liquid and glass running down his hands to the ground. This confused Tony.

"What the hell is he up to?" he thought as Jr. walked pass him.

"I did this because the game has changed. So now, instead of you doing something for me. I want you to answer me something…." Tony looked over to him, His dark back was towards him as he turned his head to Tony.

"What's the name of his new girlfriend?" His question caused him to be freaked out.

"No, he can't be. Not again." he thought as his heart was pounding like crazy. Dark M Jr. noticed this as he smiled.

"Ahh, so you do know what I talking about. The small blonde. Yes, I've seen the two of them together. Is that why they were here? They were on a date weren't they?" He began to circle Tony who was frozen with fear.

"I seen the way they looked at each other, The way they held each other, the way they kissed each other." He they whispered in his ear.

"Oh, I'm going to enjoy tearing them apart. Literally." He laughed as Tony backed away from him.

"You monster. How could you think of such a thing. Doing something like this to him again. After what you did to Emily."

"Emily? Oh yeah, that was her name. Man were those to good old days." His evil humor for the death of others made Tony sick to his stomach.

"Look, All I ask is a name, maybe an address to help that would be nice. So what's it going to be Tony? Will you give me the info I need; or will I have to force it out of you?" he said as he showed off his claws to him.

Tony backed away slowly as he noticed the boiling pot still on.

"You can get your info when I'm dead!" He then grabbed the boiling pot of water and threw it all over Jr.'s face. Jr. roared in pain as the hot water was burning his eyes and face. This blinded him as he was knocking things over in the kitchen. Tony then used the pot and based him in the face as he fell to the ground. Causing the ground to shake as he fell. Tony knew that he couldn't kill him, even if he tried. He knew that Shadow wouldn't make it nor could he even stop him. Tony was going to die. But if he died, he was going to call Shadow and warn him about Dark M Jr.'s presence.

Tony quickly ran to his phone to call him. He began to reach his contact list. But he was too late.

Tony felt a cooking knife penetrate through his back. He fell to the ground as it hit him. He tried to crawl over to his phone. Seeing Dark M Jr's shadow as he walked besides Tony. The knife he threw was now causing his back to bleed out. He kneel to face Tony as he lifted his face to face his.

"Hurts doesn't it? After that little stunt you pulled on me with the pot, I honestly don't care. I now don't see any point in keeping you alive. Jr. got up to see him finally grab the phone. He responded by smashing the phone along with Tony's hand with his foot. Breaking the bones in his hand. Tony groaned as he now had a broken hand to go with his wounded back.

"I...last..time Tony. The female, What is her name?" Tony lifted his head to Jr.

"Kiss...My…...Ass!" He shouted as Jr. growled. He then placed his foot on top of the knife on his back and pushed down into his body. Tony's final breath as the knife made it's way inside his body and through the other side, along with his heart.

Tony was now dead.

Dark M Jr was satisfied as his sliver chain around his neck "M" was glowing for a bit. He walked away from the bloody corpse. He looked around to find anything on Shadow or his girl as he went through everything. His search was going nowhere.

"This is just great. I can't find anything on Shadow or his girl anywhere and the only person who would know is now dead. I should try to beat the info I need out of people before killing them next time." He continued to look around as he saw a sign-in sheet on the front table.

"Of course" he thought as he view the newest page. There were two signatures: One being Shadow's with the letters "S.W." written for short. as the other reading:

"Sammy." He said in a sinister voice as he looked at Tony's dead body.

"Looks like I didn't need you after all." He said as he went around the place, trying to make it look like a man broke in and killed Tony. So Shadow wouldn't know he was behind this.

After he made the setup, he left the building as he now knew the name of his second and new main target along with Shadow. The female, his girlfriend…..

"His little Sammy" he whispered to himself. As the killings were about to begin...
