Chapter Seven

“This City has made a terrible blunder in refusing to pay the just tribute we deserve in sparing its people from devastation,” the blurred figure of the Reaper was again broadcast around the world that Monday at noon on Eastern Standard Time. This time the video was uploaded onto You Tube, and a DVD copy sent by courier to City Hall. “Even worse is its pitiful recourse in turning to this Nightcrawler for protection. For these mistakes, the City of New York will be required to pay us ten times as much as we previously requested. We will now require one hundred million dollars to be paid as specified in order for us not to carry out our next attack. Twice you have seen how close you have come to unspeakable disaster. Twice you have narrowly escaped horrors unlike any ever known in the history of this nation. This time we will not fail to bring down a firestorm that will bring the State of New York to its knees. If we are not contacted with an offer to pay our fee, the people of New York will pay the ultimate price. We also intend to make a gruesome example of this Nightcrawler should he dare cross our paths again!”

“I thought we agreed you were not going back out, Bree,” Jon Aeppli was exasperated when they met at the office Sunday morning. Jon told his wife he was meeting someone at the golf course, and Sabrina was forced to miss church once again. “That's a real beauty you picked up on your eye there. Are you gonna wear that balaclava of yours to meet Hoyt?”

“That's not funny, Jon,” she scowled. She had a purple welt on her eye which had darkened her cheekbone from the pole that was smashed across her face on the previous day.

“Oh, I agree,” he sat on the thick leather armchair by the plate glass window in her office. “So you say you took out twelve men? Did you gas them with the DATKO you agreed not to use anymore?”

“Gosh, I don't know, Jon, it all happened so fast,” she laid back in her swivel chair behind her executive desk, staring at the ceiling, feeling as if she had been flattened by a steamroller. “I guess they heard the spear hit the side of the ship, and when I came over the side they all saw me. The one guy popped me with that pole and nearly knocked me out but I hit him with the gas. I tried to use as little as possible because of what you told me, and plus I didn't bring that much. I kinda used the gas gun as a weapon and took out a couple with that. I guess I was real lucky that they couldn't fight. Besides, they'd been drinking, and I really got the impression they weren't dead set on unloading the Agent BZ into the water. They saw all the people on the beach, and they must've known they would've been doing a terrible thing.
