Chapter 3

The night covered the streets like a sheet of black, with streetlights and cars acting as scissors to break through the darkness, only for a few spots. It didn't matter. The group always moved better at night anyway. They never knew why, it was just a natural thing for a kid growing up in the hood to take in the night as cover.

"You know, I bet its a job offer." Eli said as they walked, hood up and hands in his pockets. "Pshh. Your crazy." K.C. said as he walked. "Whatever brownie." "Ritz cracker." "Stained underwear." "Your right, that is my stain on your bitches underwear." All three laughed. "Pretty good one, blackie. Pret-"

"Hello, boys."

A voice came from under a dead stop light, the only one on the whole street, as a man in a black tuxedo, with a black tie, a black haircut, and a black undershirt, with black dress shoes to complete the gloomy set, stood in front of them. The only glint of color on his whole body, besides his pale white skin, was a cane he had, the cane only a king has, with a red cross on the top and a red cross on a ring he had on his finger.

"Dont suppose you support the American Red Cross, right? You know! Cure for Cancer. Disaster relief..." Cory said, trying to make conversation.

"Trust me, when you know the things that I know, you stop caring about helping people as much as you do helping your Family." "Oh I know a bit about that." Eli said as he left the group, and approached the man. "Elijah Ribbony, at your service." Eli said, his long blonde hair falling over his face as he bowed. "You know, that's a nice suit, but I'm afraid people will want to screw with you in this town with a clothing set like that." "I'm not afraid of a figeting tweaker." He smiled at young Elijah Ribbony. "And the names Ravencry."

"Ebenezer Ravencry." Cory said in renown. "The 3rd Richest man in the world...You work for Abstergo?" "Executive Manager. Not a high up place, really. There are others better than me. But I have much more privileges than most others." "Well why is that?" K.C. asked. "Respect. I earned it. Much as you can earn mine. And win many privileges." "Count me in." Eli said, as he stared Ravencry in the face. "Me too." K.C. said as he looked the man up and down.

"Me too." Cory said, hesitantly.

"Good." Ebenezer smiled a perfect white grin, obviously not real. "Then lets get started."
