《Sinner's & Redeemers》Chapter 5: A Deal That Can Turn A Life Around
Advertisement
It's 9:00PM in the streets. There is a Man in his apartment, laying down on his bed. Around him was dozens of beer bottles with Pizza boxes stacked in a corner of the room. He stared at the celling with a completely broken depressed look. The man had short brown hair and brown eyes. He is wearing black dress pants and a white dress shirt. In his hand was a beer bottle half full. The man looked across the room, seeing a cradle of which a baby once was. He looked to the left side of his bed, almost expecting someone to be there. But no one was. It was just him, with his mind slowly decaying in the room.
*Knock* *Knock*
Someone started to knock at the man's door. However, he did not even bother to get up.
"Michael.... open the door..." said a man knocking with a sad but calm voice
"Michael! You have to pay your rent!" said a frustrated lady
Michael simply continued to stare at the celling. He put his hands at his ears trying to block the sound around him.
"Michael, I'm opening the door." said a Man with a calm voice
A man entered the home, he immediately noticed all the beer bottles scattered across the apartment. The man walked towards the bedroom of which Michael was in. He opened the door, on the huge bed was even more beer while also Michael being on the bed.
The man looked at Michael with pure silence
"Michael come and get up. I'm not going to allow you to simply allow yourself to go out like this..." said the Man
Michael looked at the Man. The Man was wearing Navy blue jeans with a black varsity jacket. He also had short black hair with dark brown eyes.
"Leave me be..." said Michael with a distraught look
"You know I'm now gonna let that slide." said the Man
Michael slowly sat up from his bed. The man sat next to him on the bed.
"I'm... sorry on what happened. But you have to get up and continue life... Everybody is worried about you." said the Man
"You have no Idea on what this feels like Vince. I... lost everything." said Michael barely able to speak
"I know.... But you knew this day will come. This stuff happens to almost everybody in the city. You have to move on. You know what happens if you can't." said Vince
It is now 11:00PM in the Habitat
Roland and Archlight were sitting at a bar in the dining room.
"Are you sure keeping those two down there is safe?" said Roland
"I'm 100% positive Roland. Are you really worried about them that badly? The creature I sent should be nothing but an easy kill for those two. If they work together that is, which I'm sure they will." said Archlight with a confident look
"Even so, they're just kids. You should not be expecting so much from them." said Roland looking worried
"Roland, you and I both know those two are not "Just" kids. They're extraordinary powerful for this age. When I was 8 I could barely hold and use a sword properly. The both of them are very fast learners too. But your right. I'll try to slow down a bit on the training." said Archlight
Roland chugs a beer at the bar.
"Haha! Never would've thought you would become a teacher. If me from 10 years ago knew about this, Ill be crying of laughter." said Roland now drunk and laughing

"Shutup Roland, like you're no different. I never thought I'll hear you being called "Uncle Roland" by a kid." said Archlight while chugging a beer himself, smiling
"Gosh, we're getting old. I wish we could assemble the gang one more time...." said Roland
"Roland... You know that can't happen anymore..." said Archlight with a straight face
Downstairs in the training room, Benjamin slammed his sword into the ground. The creature responded quickly to the sound just as he suspected. The creature without eyes quickly pushed back his back legs and leaped towards the area where Benjamin made the sound with his sword. Benjamin quickly dodged the attack.
"NOW ANGELA!" Benjamin shouted
Angela came up behind the creature. She stabbed the creature, the sword went through the spine piercing through the other side near the chest area. The creature fell over and screeched in pain. However, the disgusting creature was still alive. The creature quickly responded back and slashed Angela's arm with one of its almost unhuman like long nails. Angela fell over on the ground moaning in pain.
"ANGELA!" said Benjamin out loud
The creature immediately went towards Benjamin again. It tried slashing him but Benjamin was able to dodge it. Due to Angela's stab wound to the back, it quickly fell over when Benjamin dodged it. Benjamin quickly responded back. He swung his sword towards the left side of the creatures stomach. Due to the creatures unhealthy and stitched skin, the blade was able to slash all the way through reaching the creatures belly button. The creature screamed in pain and backed away. However what looked like gallons of blood gushed out of the creature. The creature fell over again. This time it was unable to get up. Benjamin quickly took his sword and decapitated the creature.
"Angela!" said Benjamin out loud looking worried
He quickly ran over to her.
"Don't worry... I'm fine. It's just a graze." said Angela calmly
Benjamin leaned over her and looked at her arm trying to find the wound. Luckily, it was a simple scratch.
"Hahahaha We did it!" Benjamin said while laughing, feeling relived
Angela smiled. Both started laughing together. Suddenly, the iron door that was locked opened. A man in a butler suit started to walk up to them.
"Mister Roland!" said Angela
"Uncle Roland!" said Benjamin
"Well done you two. Now come upstairs and eat now. I'm sure the both of you must be a bit thirsty and hungry." said Roland
"How did you know we were down here? Where's Uncle Archlight?" said Benjamin
"Archlight told me ya'll will be down here. I used to train down here myself with Archlight. And Archlight is upstairs sleeping in his room." said Roland
Benjamin and Angela quickly got up and left the room going back into the hallway. They started walking down the hallway towards the stairs. A couple minutes later, they arrived at the stairs.
"Put those swords back on the weapon rack and come upstairs." said Roland
Angela and Benjamin quickly put their swords on the weapon rack and walked up the stairs. Both looked outside the huge dining room windows, realizing it was night.
"How long have we been down there?" said Angela
"I dunno, Maybe 8 or 9 hours." said Roland
"Grab some food from the fridge. I think the Maids left some leftovers from dinner for you both. Once the both of you finish eating, go and sleep if you can. Tomorrow I will be training the both of you." said Roland

" I thought Mister Archlight will be the one training us." said Angela
"When It comes to this part of training, he is absolutely terrible at it." said Roland while smirking
"What's the training for tomorrow?" Benjamin said curiously
"You'll see tomorrow. I'm gonna go to bed, goodnight you two." said Roland
Roland walks away and out into the hallway, now walking towards the elevators. Benjamin and Angela quickly went to the fridge to eat some food. Benjamin opened the fridge.
"There's no food..." said Benjamin with a dumbfounded look
"Perfect!" said Angela while smiling
"Perfect? There is nothing to eat..." said Benjamin
"We could use this time to learn how to cook food! I'm sure in the future while working as a Redeemer we might be in places where there may not be a store or people to help cook." Angela said cheerfully
Benjamin glared at her with a odd look
"What's that look for?" said Angela glaring back
"Well... You see... I'm a little bad at cooking." said Benjamin
"That's fine. Guess I'll cook for you!" Angela said cheerfully
Benjamin looked away embarrassed, taking those words the wrong way in his mind.
30 minutes later in the streets.
"Mmmmm, Mmmm." A phone rang inside a pocket. A man took the phone out of the pocket. He looked at the phone, it said "Work".
"I'm sorry Michael, I gotta take this real quick." said the Man
The man stood up from sitting on a bed and walked out of a bedroom. Now taking a deep breath, he answered the phone.
"YELLO! Vince, we just got a job offer! It's a grade 2 client willing to pay a bunch of money! They're also willing to pay completely in cash! No BS, No taxes, No fees, No nothing! You gotta come quick." said a excited Man with a young voice over the phone
"God, not now. I'm trying to deal with somethin right now." said Vince while sounding aggravated
"No, No, No, No. You gotta come now! They want you specifically !" said the Man angrily over the phone
"For fucks sake, what's the detail?" said Vince
"They are not willing to disclose any information to me. They said once they talk to an official Redeemer in person they will tell the info to Him or her and only Him or Her." said the Man on the phone
" *Sigh* I'll be there in 10 minutes." said Vince with a exhausted look
"Allllrighty! I'll let em know you'll be here soon. Bye bye!" said the Man on the phone
Vince quickly hanged up the phone.
"That annoying motherfucker." said Vince while mumbling under his own breath
Vince walked back into the bedroom and looked at Michael.
"Mikey, I just got a offer. I'll be back here soon. Me and the boys plan on hanging out tonight at the gambling district inside the Habitat. Wanna come with?" said Vince
"Yea... I need some fresh air..." said Michael with a depressed look while trying to put up a smile
"Perfect! Get ready in 3 hours. I'll also let them know you will be coming." said Vince looking happy
"Alright..." said Michael
Vince walked out of the home and out of the tall apartment complex he was just in. He quickly started running down a street at night. 1 minute later after turning around many blocks and streets, he arrived at a train station. He quickly walked on a flight of stairs leading towards it. A train was there. He quickly got on the first train car, the doors instantly closed behind him once he got on. The train started to depart from the train station. Inside the train car was only him. However, there was a terrible stench.
"What's that smell?" said Vince while covering his nose with his arm
He looked at the floor immediately noticing blood drops. He quickly started looking around the train car. Knowing something is wrong, he quickly took out a pistol from one of his inside varsity jacket pockets. Vince realized the blood drops where leading towards a door that connected another train car together with his. He crouched and slowly went towards the door. Now at the door, he slowly peeked over the doors window. A woman was on the floor completely mutilated. Her rib cage was completely out in the open and her face was mauled apart. Next to her was 2 men with blood covered hands and mouths feasting on her organs and flesh. Noticing it, Vince quickly looked away and sat up against the door with gun in hand.
"Shit." said Vince with his heart racing
Vince quickly took out the pistol magazine inside the weapon. On the sides of the magazine was glass, allowing him to count the rounds accurately. He only counted 5 bullets left inside of it. Vince opened his left outer pocket, hoping to find a magazine, he did. However the magazine was completely empty. Vince quickly put back the magazine with 5 rounds left back inside the weapon. Knowing that there was at least one more bullet in the chamber from using his gun earlier, he slowly started to stand up and peeked out the window again. Vince took aim at one of the men eating her lungs. Vince slowly breathed in and out. 3 Seconds later, he shot his weapon. The shot instantly hit the man in the head, killing him instantly. The other man eating her skin ran away from the dead woman and took cover behind seats. Knowing that the man was not going to push him since he had a firearm, Vince opened the door and slowly walked inside the other train car. He saw the Man's feet and slowly bent down trying to get a good shot.
"ARUGHHHH" the man screamed
The man behind the seat charged at Vince. Vince instantly stood back up properly and shot the man in the chest. The man fell over on the ground. The man was still breathing. Vince walked up to the man and took another shot, this time hitting his head, splattering his brains and head juices all over the floor.
"Now arriving, District 9." said the intercom on the train
"How convenient." said Vince
Vince put his gun away back inside his inner pocket. While walking towards the doors to soon exit, he looked at the absolutely torn apart woman. He quickly looked away in disgust almost throwing up. The train doors opened and he immediately ran out trying to get away from the disgusting and smelly scene. Vince walked down a flight of stairs leading towards the streets. He went on the sidewalk and 3 minutes later he met a crosswalk. He took a right, now seeing a huge half built building. Vince went inside the building taking a left down a hallway. At the end of the hallway was a door labeled Office 77. Vince opened the door, a short man immediately greeted him while sitting at a receptionist desk.
"Finally you arrived! Come quick! Our client is waiting at room 2!" said a short Man with a young enthusiastic voice
"Your lucky that you didn't annoy them off." said Vince while barely being able to keep a straight face due to the man speaking
The small man went up to a room and opened the door for Vince. Inside was a woman with long black hair and purple eyes. She was also wearing business clothes sitting down at a white sofa. A man with grey hair and grey eyes wearing a pristine black suit also stood behind her.
"Ah. I suppose you must be Vincent. Nice to meet you, my name is Yamazaki but you can call me Yama." said Yamazaki with a polite demeanor
"Nice to meet you Yama." said Vince
"Next to me is Kuzamara, he is my bodyguard." said Yamazaki
Kuzamara slightly bowed his head and Vince did the same. Vince walked up to another white couch across from Yamazaki and sat down
"Sorry if our Receptionist annoyed you. He is still quite new to the job and is young." said Vince while bowing his head
"Haha, Don't worry about it. Anyways lift your head up, I want to get right to the point." said Yamazaki with a serious look and tone
Yamazaki reached her hand out towards Kuzamara. Kuzamara handed her a pair of papers stapled together. Yamazaki handed Vince the papers. On the front of the 1st page was tons of information of a man named "Charles Dawn".
"I need you to take out this man. I'm not gonna get into detail, but this man has caused dozens if not hundred's of problems for my company. Him and his group of people must be stopped. Killing him would make the group useless, he is the entire mastermind of it all. This will solve my company from encountering future problems involving his group." said Yamazaki
"I see, do you have any information on him? For example, Locations he lives or hides at? Times of day he leaves and enters his home?" said Vince now looking serious
"He has a very secretive and confidential life. But just yesterday we got intel that he will be attending a reunion party at his friends apartment in district 13. He will have numerous highly trained security detail. So no normal Redeemer can simply walk in and kill him ease. Which is why we have decided to try and hire you. I personally heard you are a great shot using almost any firearm you get your hands on. Especially snipers from what I hear. The apartment he will be in has huge windows. By standing on top of the MNC Tv broadcasting skyscraper in District 13, you should be able to get a clean shot on him." said Yamazaki
"What is said payment." said Vince
"It'll be 100000cC. All in cash. No Taxes, No fees, All simple clean cash. I'll even throw in a 50k bonus if you are able to kill him with one shot without making a ruckus." said Yamazaki
"150k cC?!" That type of money can allow a adult to buy a Habitat Residential permit for themselves and be able to buy another Residential permit for a child." said Vince looking extremally surprised.
Yamazaki slightly smiled.
"On the second page contains a picture of the target and the time of which the target arrives tomorrow. It also has the information I just said incase you forget." said Yamazaki
Vince stays quiet for about 10 seconds trying to think if he should accept it or not. Even though knowing that he most likely will.
"Alright, I'll accept the job." said Vince
Vince was barely able to keep a straight face while hearing those numbers just a moment ago.
"Great! Once you complete the job I'll come back here and deliver the cash myself." said Yamazaki while squinting her eyes smiling
"Nice meeting you Vincent, I hope that this is only just the start of our future together. I'll see you tomorrow." said Yamazaki
Yamazaki stood up and opened the door, leaving the room. Kuzamara quickly bowed his head and left the room following her.
"Goodnight Miss Yamazaki!" said a man with a annoying young voice outside the room
Vince looked up at the ceiling almost in disbelief.
"150k...." Vince said silently
