Mercy

“Mercy, where are we going?” Bowen asked as we wandered down the darkest road in the Underground.

“Just shut up and keep walking. We’re almost there.”

We’d already swung by Rafael’s place and found his cell. There were a few missed calls, but I only had him return one to Nor. He did a damned good job of sounding like he hadn’t lost his memory. He told him he was taking him up on his offer and was dropping off the grid for a week or two and he’d touch base with him soon enough. His boss had seemed happy with his decision, and that was that. He turned his cell off afterward, shoved it in his pocket, and we set out for the Underground.

“This is not a nice place,” Bowen hissed.

“Not like we’re going to see a very nice person, but you already knew that,” I threw over my shoulder.

Bowen gave me a confused look.

He’d get his answers soon enough.

Rufus’s hideaway was in the Underground, which should’ve been too obvious, but getting to his place took us through the most crime-ridden streets where most weren’t stupid enough to venture. All except us, of course.

His tiny home was on the top floor of a ramshackle building that looked like it could be shoved over by a single person. The floor and walls had holes in them. There was no heat except for a wood burning stove. I wondered how the place hadn’t gone up in flames yet. The steps leading up to his front door were shaky, and a few were missing. “Watch your step.”

I led the way up and banged on the front door. I’d texted Rufus to let him know I was bringing company. An old friend and a new one. He hadn’t replied, but he usually didn’t.

The bolts on the inside slid back, and the door opened, the gob himself keeping out of sight.

I walked right inside, Rafael behind me, followed by Bowen.

Not until we were all inside did the door slam shut and the other two jumped, whipping around to see who was there.

“Well, now. Long time no see, blood breath,” Rufus grunted to Bowen.

“You… how did you get out of your cell?” Bowen asked, then turned to me. “You broke him out?”

“I had to turn to someone after you stopped talking to me and Damian refused to help me track down those responsible. So yeah, I broke him out. Thought you’d be happy to see your old friend.”

“Friend is pushing it,” Bowen hissed. “Acquaintance at best.”

“Oh, now, what’s got your panties in a twist?” Rufus said with a wink.

“You changed.”

“We all changed so you can piss off about that,” Rufus snapped.

“None of us started eating children.”

“He eats kids?” Rafael asked, alarmed.

“Not anymore, part of our deal for busting him out. How about we all take a deep breath, promise not to kill each other, and sit down. We have a lot to go through today,” I said, not in the mood to break up a fight. What with my bruises and aches from my latest round with a shit ton of gobs.
