Talking
"So you know who she is. What's her name?", a man asks. "Her name is Sarah Riley.", the main figure says. "You know her how?", a second man asks. "Her late father and me were best friends growing up. We grew up on the same block.", the main figure says. "His name ?", first man asked. "John Riley. He was a cop.", the main figure said. "So you were friends with a cop. Really Mike?", the second man said. "Yes Jake. I was friends with him. We grew up on the same block. Knew each other since we were little kids. We hung out together with few of our friends. Went to the same middle school, high school and college. He was majoring in criminology and I was majoring in construction services. After college it was hard for me to find a job. People rejected my applications, with no other choice I turned to crime. It wasn't first time that I turned to crime. When I was a kid I would usually steal from a store or pickpocket people. I would either still money or goods. John knew about me stealing, but he never called me out on it. Both of us grew up in gang neighborhood. He made it out of the neighborhood, but he didn't help me. That's when our friendship started to sour. Throughout college and later years we weren't on speaking terms. I found out that he joined the police academy. I wasn't angry at him. He always told me that he wanted to help people and put criminals and thugs to justice. I understood his viewpoint, but he never understood my viewpoint. I had to turn to crime to survive, to get what I wanted from it. As you know I made myself know on the streets. Before Fisk was around, I was already a criminal and thug. I stole money, killed people, bribed some cops, lawyers, judges and politicians for them to look the other way or to release our guys from prison. I rose up the ranks in this organization and then I became the leader. Before of all that I just started out. When I would execute an order, I would attract the attention of the cops. John knew it was me. He would let me go because of our friendship which was already strained. One night I robbed a store. I ran away. Eventually John would find me because he knew it was me who robbed the store. That night we argued. Our ideologies clashed. We were best friends. Always had each others backs through thick and thin. We had a fight, he had the upper hand until I distracted him and then I beat him. I didn't beat him totally. I then walked away. After that night I went underground. He tried to look for me for years. He never found where I was. He died in a explosion four years ago during The Chitauri attacks. I was sad when I've heard about it, but I moved on.", Mike explained to Jake and Chris.
"Wow. That's quite a story right there.", Jake said. "Yeah it is. How come you never told this story before?", Chris asked. "Because I wanted hide that part of my past. Not because I felt ashamed, but because I wanted it to forget about it. But since you egged with me your questions and I knew you wouldn't stop asking me questions, I had to tell the story to both of you.", Mike said. "That's understandable boss. We won't tell anyone the story.", Jake said. "We promise boss.", Chris said. "Good.", Mike said. "What do you want us to do boss?", Chris asked. "I want the two of you to find out where she lives, if two of you find it alone or if someone helps you. I don't care. Find out where she lives. I'll send someone with the two of you to help you kidnap her. Then bring her back here and we will put her in the room that has no lights. When she wakes up, I will question her then. About why she took pictures of our meeting.", Mike said with a hint of anger in his voice at the last sentence. "Alright boss. But I have to ask you, is she a cop? Will the police search for our base of operations and try to arrest us after they gathered evidence? Will then our deal with The Yakuza be exposed?", Jake asked with concern in his voice. "No. I don't think she's a cop. If she was, the police would right now be at our doorstep I think she's a P.I. She could go to the police and show them the pictures she took. I don't think she will go to the police for whatever reason. And also I'm not like Adil Jusufi who lost his criminal organization by running his mouth. I'm different than him. I'm more calmer, more calculated in my approach. Also our deal with The Yakuza won't get exposed. Not by a P.I", Mike said.
"Alright boss. We also wanted to tell you that three of our men were arrested for sexual assault and are currently in hospital. There in jail. Without bond release.", Chris said. "What. Did. The. Idiots. Exactly. Do.?", Mike asked with anger in his voice. "They found George Walker's wife, threatened her and then asked her where he was hiding. That's when Daredevil arrived and beat them up to the pulp. But Daredevil beat our guys aggressively and violently. I haven't heard of him like that. He would always beat someone like us up with a little less aggressively and violently.", Jake said. "But hearing him beating our guys to the pulp more aggressively and violently is something else entirely. It looks like he changed completely.", Jake said with shaky voice. Mike was wide eyed. His jaw slack. He just couldn't believe what Jake just told him. "I'll see what I can do to get three of them out of jail. You know the plan once you find her?", Mike asked with edge in his voice. "Yes boss.", Chris said. "Good. Now you can leave. I have some paperwork to do.", Mike said as he took paper work out of his cabinet. Both Jake and Chris nodded and turned to leave Mike's office. Chris opened the door, stepped outside of the office, Jake following him. Then Jake closed the door. Both Jake and Chris walked their separate ways.
Daredevil was running and jumping through rooftops of Hell's Kitchen. He was going towards the same bar where he interrogated Turk Barrett two weeks ago. He had to ask him if he knew anything about Dogs Of Hell recruitment of young people from poor areas of Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil thought that Turk knew something and he had to question him.
Few minutes later Daredevil was perched up on a nearby rooftop across the alley where the bar is. He heard lot of heartbeats. He was listening for Turk's heartbeat and his location within the bar. Few moments later Daredevil located Turk. He was just standing up and getting ready to leave. Daredevil was listening to Turk's footsteps within the bar. Turk then payed for his drink and started walking towards the door. Daredevil walked down the fire escape and he was already in the alley. He then walked towards the street concealed by darkness. He knew that Turk was walking towards his direction towards the bus station. Turk was walking closely towards the alley, when Daredevil appeared from the shadows startling Turk.
Daredevil showed Turk lightly on the wall that was concealed by the shadows. His hand were at his sides."I need some information.", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. Turk sighed. He realized he had give Daredevil some information or the guy would beat him, break his bones or beat him to the pulp. "What kind of information?", Turk asked. "The one which involves a criminal organization or a gang.", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. "Alright.", Turk said. "There's a rumour going around of young people being recruited into a criminal organization or a gang.", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. "Know anything about that?", Daredevil asked in a low deep voice. "I've heard about it. People been chatting about it for the past week.", Turk said. "People like you?", Daredevil asked in a low deep voice. "No. I quit being a criminal. For the past few weeks actually—", Turk was interrupted by Daredevil. "I don't care. The people who told you. Are they just like you?", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. "Yeah like me.", Turk said while sighing. "They told me that someone was recruiting young people from poor neighborhoods of Hell's Kitchen. They said that whoever this criminal organization or gang was, they were recruiting secretly.", Turk said. "Did mention the name of the criminal organization or gang?", Daredevil asked with a low deep voice. "No they haven't actually. Nobody knows who the criminal organization or gang is.", Turk said. Daredevil was listening to Turk's heartbeat. Truth. Daredevil realized Turk was telling the truth. Nobody knew the name of the criminal organization or gang.
"Do you know if Dogs Of Hell are the ones recruiting young people to their organization?", Daredevil asked with a low deep voice. "No I didn't know that. How do you know the name of the criminal organization?", Turk asked with furrowed brows. Truth. Daredevil thought. "I know it's them. I figured it out. But I wanted to ask you first if you had some information. Because I know you have connections to the criminal underworld of this city. Turns out you were telling the truth.", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. "So all of this questioning was for nothing?", Turk said bewildered. Daredevil nodded. "Look. I quit being a criminal. I want to do better. My connections to the criminal underworld are less and less. I'm just trying be and do better.", Turk said. "Is this true?", Daredevil asked in low deep voice. "Yes.", Turk said immediately. Truth. He's telling the truth. "Alright. You can walk back to your bus station. The bus arrives in three minutes.", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. Turk's got confused. "How do you know that?", Turk asked as his brows furrowed. "It doesn't matter. Just. Go.", Daredevil said with a low distorted voice. Turk realized that Daredevil was getting angrier. "Ok, ok.", Turk said as he lifted his hand up in the air. He started walking back to the street. He the suddenly turned around to look for Daredevil but he already left.
Daredevil was jumping and running on rooftops of Hell's Kitchen. He knew Turk was telling the truth. He also realized that Turk was trying to do and be a better person. Daredevil was heading towards the 15th precinct to talk to Brett Mahoney. He had to tell him that it was the Dogs of Hell who were recruiting young people around poor neighborhoods of Hell's Kitchen. He had to tell him to watch for the meetings that took place between members of Dogs Of Hell and young people in poor neighborhoods of Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil had a nagging feeling that somehow The Hand were involved with this. He didn't think that it was only the Albanian mafia that had the deal with The Hand. He thinks that The Hand made a deal with the Dogs of Hell, because it wasn't possible for the Dogs of Hell to recruit that many people in to their organization. He wasn't going to tell this to Brett until he was sure that The Hand and the Dogs of Hell made some sort of deal.
Daredevil was already on the rooftop of the 15th precinct. He then started walking towards the fire escape. He already knew Brett was in his office doing some paperwork. Daredevil then walked down the fire escape. He was already on the last floor of the building. He then knocked on Brett's office window. He listened as Brett stood up and walked over to the door. Few seconds later Brett opened the door, stepped outside and closed the door.
"Got some news?", Brett asked as he stood near the hand railing. "Yeah. I have.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "Okay. Let's hear it.", Brett said as he ooked towards the night sky. "My source gave some intel. She found out the name of the criminal organization or gang who recruit young people around poor neighborhoods of Hell's Kitchen.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "It's the Dogs Of Hell. ", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. Immediately Brett cocked his head towards the vigilante. "You sure about that?", Brett asked with a hint of surprise in his voice. "Yeah. It's them. They are recruiting young people out of poor neighborhoods around Hell's Kitchen. They are giving them sums of money for jobs oppurtunities within their criminal organization.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "I knew about the money that they are giving to the young people for job oppurtunities. But to be the Dogs Of Hell the ones who are recruiting, I didn't thought about them. But how do they have money?", Brett asked. "I don't know. But I think it isn't them who have that much money. Someone must be helping them.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "You could be right. They surely get their money through the revenue and profit of their six bars that they own. They would get enough money. But to have this much money for recruitment of young people around poor neighborhoods of Hell's Kitchen, is baffling to me. Someone is helping them.", Brett said while he looked towards the night sky. "Yeah. You should get some cops to patrol around poor neighborhoods. During the day and night. To watch for the members of the Dogs Of Hell around poor neighborhoods.", Daredevil said. "Yeah. I will call up some cops for patrol around poor neighborhoods, starting tomorrow.", Brett said. "Good.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice.
"Any news on The Yakuza?", Brett asked. "No.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "Interesting. After we arrested many members of the Albanian mafia, they've went silent", Brett said. "No. Don't think so. I believe they were silent for some time. Probably for the past two months. It would actually explain a lot.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "How?", Brett asked as he cocked his head towards the vigilante. "After Fisk was arrested and put behind bars. The Yakuza went underground. Nobody heard from them for months. They then returned when The Punisher was arrested. They had some drug trafficking competition with The Blacksmith for few months. The Blacksmith gets killed by The Punisher and The Yakuza takeover the drug trafficking ring. I've gone up against them. You know it. And then two months ago they go back underground and ever since then they've been silent. But their heroin distribution was doing good. Up until last week when many members of the Albanian mafia were arrested, The Yakuza's heroin distribution stalled. I thought they would send a message. But they haven't. For reasons I don't know. I've destroyed their heroin distribution last year, but now it seems like they have got it back up and running. For reasons I don't know.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "Yeah. I guess it makes sense why The Yakuza went underground twice now. The police department doesn't have resources to search underground for The Yakuza. If we did, we wouldn't know where we would begin to look for The Yakuza. Maybe you can go underground and search for them?", Brett said. "I couldn't. I'd have to go more underground, but I didn't know where I would start to look for The Yakuza.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "I figured you would say that. It rather seems impossible to search for The Yakuza.", Brett said sighing. "Yeah.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "We just have to be vigilant until The Yakuza show up again.", Brett said. "You're right, we have to stay vigilant.", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. "Yeah. Look I have to back in the office. Gotta finish up some paperwork.", Brett said. "Okay Sargent.", Daredevil said as he started walking up the fire escape. "Aren't you going to disappear like some ninja when I turned around to open the door?", Brett asked as his brows furrowed. "No Sergeant. I need to go now.", Daredevil said in a low distorted voice. "Alright. See ya around.", Brett said. He watched Daredevil walk up the fire escape. Few seconds later Daredevil already left. Brett then turned towards the door, opened it, walked into his office and closed the door.
Daredevil was jumping and running on the rooftops of Hell's Kitchen. He was going towards Sarah's apartment. He had to tell her that he gave Brett the intel about the Dogs Of Hell. He knew that Sarah was a really good P.I. That was for certain. She was the one who figured out which criminal organization was on the pictures she took. Daredevil knew that The Hand was up to something. He knew they went underground two months ago. He still didn't know how they got their heroin distribution up and running. He then decided to go to Orion Limited and listen for a suspicious activity. He was sure that The Hand owned the company or had some sort of connection to it.
Daredevil was already on the fire escape beside Sarah's apartment window. He knocked three times on her window. He listened as she turned her television of, got up and walked towards the window. Sarah then opened the window and let Daredevil in. She then closed the window. Daredevil walked towards the arm chair and sat down. He took off his mask. "Hey.", Sarah said. "Hey.", Matt said. "Got some news from your patrol?", Sarah asked as she sat down on the couch. "Yeah. I talked to Brett. Told him that It's the Dogs Of Hell who are recruiting young people from poor neighborhoods around Hell's Kitchen. He told me that he a few cops will patrol around poor neighborhoods starting tomorrow. He'll also will try to find some evidence against the Dogs Of Hell.", Matt said. "That's good. Maybe you can give him the pictures after I make another copy of them.", Sarah said. "Yeah. That could help the police. Have you started investigating Orion?", Matt asked. "Yeah. Just today. I'm just searching them up and I'm trying to find something that can help us find some evidence for their suspicious activities.", Sarah said. "That's good. I was about go to their headquarters to listen if there's some suspicious activities.", Matt said. "You want me to come with you?", Sarah asked. "Thank you. But no. You should go to sleep. I can sense that you're tired. I don't want to keep you up any longer.", Matt said. "Well I can help you out with your recon—", Sarah was interrupted by Matt. "Sarah. If you go with me, you will fall asleep on recon and I would have to carry you back here. You're tired. You nearly fell asleep right before I came here.", Matt said with a serious tone in his voice. "Point taken.", Sarah said while she yawns. "What've I told you.", Matt said while smirking. He then stood up and put his mask back on. Sarah rolls her eyes. "Just so you know. I'm rolling my eyes at you.", Sarah said playfully. "I know.", Matt said smirking. He then walked over to the window. "Goodnight Sarah.", Daredevil said in a low deep voice. "Goodnight Mr. Devil", Sarah said with a smirk on her face. Daredevil smirked back and Sarah blushed as she saw him smirking under his Devil helmet. Daredevil then opened the window and stepped outside. Sarah closed the window and put the blinds down. Daredevil then jumped into the night.
