Chapter 11
Three days after Leo discovered that his daughter was missing for the first time used his security team for anything other than their job. He ordered them to nab his ex-wife and friend and take them to a black site where he would meet them. He told Sadia and she told him that he should not be violent, that he should remain true to himself. Making no promises he just nodded and went off.
The building they were being held at was a shabby abandoned building and deserted with no one nearby. Inside the two were tied up with a bad over their heads and locked to a chair. Entering the room Leo immediate noticed a smell, the two had pissed themselves and were on the way to defecating themselves as well. In the room were two guards, one with a prosthetic super arm and another with a prosthetic super leg. They were stationed at the door behind Leo waiting for any trouble.
Leo gathering his rage and trying to calm himself took off the bag off of his ex-wife’s head, then his old friend. As their eyes adjusted to the light, their eyes fell upon Leo and together they gasped. They had not seen Leo in over eight years and they had screwed him over so bad and had left him with nothing. Stunned and not saying anything he decided to greet them first.

“Hello Eliza… Tim…”
“Leo…?” the two addicts stammered.
“I see the money you two took from me went to waste.” He said as he started pacing around the room.
“Fuck you” Eliza spat and with that Leo snapped, with a quick hit he backhanded her giving a small cut on her lip.
“Hey watch it you asshole!” Tim yelled at him.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY SHIT!” Leo roared at the tied up man.
Cowering slightly Tim came to realize that this wasn’t the same Leo he took advantage of all those years ago. Recomposing himself Leo continued to pace again.
“I’m not going to waste time with you two, tell me where Sara is.” Leo demanded.
At the mention of her name the two pissed themselves again. The two nervously began begging for mercy and that crying that they didn’t have any choice.
“Stop! What did the two of you do?” Leo asked them while trying not to lose his patience.
The two looked at each other before mumbling something.
“I can’t hear you, speak up.”
In a mumbled voice Eliza whispered, “We sold her.”
It was at this point that they knew, they fucked up. Leo flipped and swung his fist as hard as he could into Tim’s jaw. The impact shattered his jaw and dislocated it all in a single go. Leo was about to strike again when one of the guards stopped him. For a brief second Leo considered killing the two of them, but in the end his conscience won out. As Leo was taking several breaths to calm himself, Eliza screamed at the brutal attack on her lover. At this point Tim was out cold, for good reason because if he woke up he’d be in for one hell of a pain trip.

Collecting himself Leo asked Eliza, “Who the fuck did you sell her to?”
Looking up at Leo is mass fear and panic she responded with a whisper, “It was some old guy, he gave us fifty grand for her. Said that no one would notice her missing.”
“FIFTY GRAND?! YOU SOLD YOUR DAUGHTER… FOR FIFTY GRAND!?!?!?!?” Leo roared at the fear stuck woman.
“WHAT’S HIS NAME!?” Leo demanded.
“I don’t know, please Leo you have to believe us. He told us to call him Chaos and that if we were smart we’d use fake names too.” She explained.
Leo froze at that name.
Chaos.
The Father of Nox and Erebus.
The primordial being that rules all of the cosmos, had taken his daughter.
After hearing this Leo stormed out after telling his guards to begin a search for the old man. Although Leo knew that the search would avail to nothing he still tried. He let the two captives go but in return he gave them ‘purifier’. A drug that was used on addicts to clear their system of addiction.
With the news of chaos Leo headed back to the place where it all began, underneath the bridge where he met the two. On his way there he brought along his remaining wish marbles.
Hours later he was underneath that very same bridge, the bridge where he agreed all those years ago to ‘entertain’ the gods.
“NOX!!!!!” he screamed.
“EREBUS!!!!!!!” Leo yelled into the darkness.
After a few minutes of nothing he finally gave up and took out one of his wish orbs.
“I wish for my daughter to be returned to me unharmed.”
Nothing.
“I wish Nox and Erebus to appear in front of me.”
Nothing.
Again he wished and wished and wished and wished. Yet in the end nothing came. At the end of it all Leo fell to his knees and cried his heart out on the ground. Tears fell from his eyes, his very soul weeping at the idea of his lost little girl.
“I’m sorry, they can’t hear you.” A voice said behind him.
Leo in utmost urgency whipped his head back to see who was there. In front of him stood an old man, seemingly in his sixties. With black hair, in a black robe, and lastly with black eyes.
“Hello, Leo I’m Chaos.”
===============================================
For chaos imagine a more aged Snape from the HP movies.
