Ryan needed to meet with Eli to assess an issue with one of their new businesses. I come to do my job as expected, but the awkwardness between us is evident to everyone. Thankfully, Eli doesn’t say a word because I really don’t want to talk about it.

A sudden chill causes me to suddenly take notice of what the boys are discussing. “I am not sure what happened, but the men we had guarding the place are all dead. The odd part is, they don’t have a mark on them.” Eli says.

“So someone is watching us, and they aren’t any ordinary someone.” As we pull up to the warehouse, Ryan sits forward. “Maybe you both should stay here while I go in.”

“Fuck that! We are going with you.” Eli says exactly what I was thinking, and we both move in at his side. The place is quiet and completely cleaned out except for the dead bodies littering the ground.

Ryan leans down to one of the bodies and looks him over. “This isn’t Marius’s doing. Someone else is trying to get my attention, and I am not sure why.”

I look around and find a note nailed to one of the dead man’s foreheads. “I think I have some idea why.” I tear off the note and show it to Ryan.

“Whoever you are, go back to where you came from or else I will destroy you. This is my city,” Ryan reads. “Well, if anything, we know it’s definitely not an existing lord because they are well aware of who I am.” Ryan steams.

“Okay, now I am really creeped out and need to leave before things get any creepier,” Eli says, looking around us with his gun ready. I can’t say I blame him. I feel as if we are being watched too. The next thing I know, men begin running at us with everything that have. Ryan, of course, can handle himself with no problem, and Eli, though not in possession of any special powers, is more than capable of taking care of himself, especially with a gun.

I, at first, invite the challenge, but then my arms begin to shake, and I have trouble holding off an attacker. He throws me to the ground, and another assailant joins in on the fun. I fight the best I can, but my body gives with every punch and kick. I try to find some escape when a man holds a gun to my head, gripping me tight to keep me from running as if I could.

“Hey! Stop fighting or we will kill your girl!” he yells as a calm washes over the battle. I look up as Ryan turns to stare down at me in shock. “Yeah, that’s it. You want to keep her alive, then surrender your weapons and get down on your knees,” he says, realizing Ryan doesn’t have a weapon. The man takes hold of me tighter and throws me to the ground in front of Ryan before taking off running.
