The sun breached the horizon shining light into the room where L had actually fallen asleep in. L slowly opened his eyes and placed his hand where Light should have been. L smelled the air, "I don't smell food, perhaps her just woke up?" L slowly stepped into the bathroom and started the shower sighing at his reflection.
Light stood on the porch of the cottage staring at the place where he sent his errand boys to retrieve needed supplies. Light lit the fifth cigarette and put the fourth one out next to his coffee cup that had long since been emptied. One of the smaller trees at the entrance started to move Light looked up in both terror and relief.
C stepped out of the brush and scanned the immediate area suspiciously with his eyes then his gaze landed on a borderline frantic Light. Upon making eye contact he walked past Light and grabbed his coat and lit a cigarette, "No. Before you ask. I don't want to talk about it. But on my honor, I will make it right." C sat down at the table in the kitchen loading his firearms with full clips and placing projectile weapons in his coats pockets as well as a back up clip for each gun.
Sayu walked out rubbing her eyes sleepily walking past C, she grabbed her cup then paused. "Are we going to war?"
C's intense blue eyes never left the focus of what he was doing, after a moment of silence as Sayu poured her coffee. C finished his preparations and slung a large shotgun over his shoulder and picked up a heavy briefcase, "I am." C started to leave and looked over his shoulder, "No one comes or goes until I have returned with Beyond. Understood, S?"
Sayu straightened up and gave a determined nod, "Understood."
He put his sunglasses on, "You're in charge of security, S. Do not disappointment." She nodded and sat in the living room with her coffee waiting for the others to come out of their rooms. C walked past Light, "Get inside. Don't come out." C walked departed the same path he entered from. As he walked through the jungle Light could hear the animals silence themselves in his presence.
Sayu stood next to him on the porch, "I've heard of wildlife silencing themselves in the presence of an overwhelming predator… But never a man."
Light scoffed, "He's no man. He's a demon. An angry one at that." Light stepped back inside as Sayu timidly watched the one man arsenal of skill and weaponry disappear into the thicket of green plant life.
C retraced his steps to the last place he saw Beyond and followed the tire tracks until he found the wreckage. There were several bullet holes pierced into the truck. C opened the door and analyzed the situation that potentially unfolded. "Supplies are still here. This was no robbery by locals." He reached into the cab of the truck and grabbed a couple of orange bottles with bright yellow stickers on them, C then studied the ground and found upheaved soil. "Struggle." The followed the drag lines and footprints.
By the time C had tracked the truck it was already midday, even longer to track down their base of operation. C stared at the sky as it brilliantly lit with orange. Perched in a tree with thick sturdy branches he assembled his first weapon. The XS1 .338 Lapua Magnum, highly powerful and just as silent, the perfect weapon to kill any long distance guards.
B took a strong punch to the face, "Tell us where they are!"
B spit blood out of his mouth, "If I don't tell you, you'll kill me? But if I do… Whammy Agency will kill me. So I mean, either way. I'm dead. At least, if you kill me I'll look like a hero. By the way… It's been a few hours… You didn't happen to grab the prescriptions out of the truck you so rudely dragged me from… Did you?" B looked up to the man defiantly. Only to have his face punched down towards the floor again.
"Why the hell would we do that?" The stocky man asked.
Beyond gave a soft manic laugh, "What time is it?" Blood dripped from his eyebrow and mouth.
The man growled, "You don't need to know that!"
Beyond started to cackle, "Come sun rise one of us will be dead. For your sake. Pray it's you!" His eyes gave off a soft crimson glow. "Because, if it's me, I'll haunt the fuck out of you!" Beyond defiantly lifted his head once again. "I see. Syndicate. Well. You know, I have a story for you."
The stocky man laid his knuckles into Beyond's cheek making him irritatedly readjust his jaw. "Shut up, already!"
Beyond smiled with a half crazed grin. "Once upon a time. There were three little boys, we all lived together. Ones eyes were as dark as night, the other, his eyes were red, like the demon he had been casted to be. And the last… His eyes were special. Eyes that could strike fear into the very souls of the ones who were brave enough to stare into the abyss."
The sun made a final flash across the sky as it disappeared behind the horizon, a large gun sat mounted on the large branch and silent shots whizzed through the air. Taking out unseen enemies. The moonlight highlighted the silhouette of the former mercenary. He pulled two curved daggers from his waist and dropped from the tree slowly moving into position.
"You see. The eyes of Death. Shinigami eyes, they aren't so easy to get rid of when your born with them." Beyond released a couple crazed laughs, "You know, I'm on medication for a reason. My mother was suppose to die in labor. And I was supposed to be strangled by my own umbilical cord. Tragic, right?" The stocky man slammed another punch into him. "You're starting to piss me off. How much would you wager half of your forces are already dead? If you're right. I'll stop talking… But if I'm right…" Beyond gave a sadistic smile laced with insanity.
