The Gods' Decree 33 The waiting game

Night fall came and the sounds of the city could be heard all around. It was filled with excited voices as they interacted with each other on the streets.

Every now and then however, some individuals could be seen eying the crowd. They all wore different coloured clothing as they surveyed the swarm of person out and about.

" When since did we become the rodent patrol of the city. Are we now pawns that have no choice in our own life. Our gang is nothing but a complete joke at the moment"

A disgruntled femine voice was suddenly was heard from one of the many people seemingly ensuring to engrave the faces of all the passer by.

" This is such a waste of our time. We all know Mouse only can be found when he wants to. We all know his character to inflict pain without blinking an eye. So why are we now fish bait to be devoured "

" Aren't we just setting up ourselves for a bad or worst case scenario? where we are the losers.

She continued on and the more she spoke the more upset she became.

" Will you shut the hell up before you get us all killed, you idiot"

" Who knows what techniques that senior may have employed to ensure our task is complete. We are just one of the gangs that are on the lookout for him so our odds are not that good anyway"

A man dressed in yellow and white rebuked as he looked at the young girl who spoke her mind.

" The Mouse is one to be feared as he is bruttal in nature when inflicting his pain, but we all know he will not kill anyone of us.

We have never scene him beat anyone to death's door, as he aparantly has a line he doesn't cross.

The senior however is a different case. We have all witness how evil of a person he is. Without blinking an eye, he would kill all of us and then have a cup of tea afterwards"

As he spoke dread could be heard in his voice as he mentioned the senior. The girl who had spoken realized her mistake and started to look around in a panic.

Suddenly a member of the group shouted out in alarm startling everyone present.

" It's him...it's him!!!"

He spoken as he pointed to the street close by where a teenager walked without seemingly any care in the world.

" Are you sure it's him?"

The man dressed in yellow exclaimed as he looked over to the street that was pointed to.

" There is no mistaking it is him for sure. That fiend has haunted and plagued my dreams every single night since I last encountered him. I know his face better than my own birth mother by now"

An agreement was heard from the previous disgruntled girl. She subconsciously rubbed one of her arms and butt as she remembered his deplorable acts.

" Quick, you three go and inform the senior immediately"

The man dressed in yellow and white had a smile plastered over his face as he thought of his incoming award. Obviously he would not take the offer of pills.

Due to what happen to Bishop the elder seeing their reluctance toward the pills, had agreed to offer gold coins as the reward as well.

" The rest of us will track him by a small distance to ensure he does not know he is being tailed.

....

" So he has finally appeared after all this time. I actually thought he would be hiding in fear within some gutter"

The elder in black grinned while sitting in his chair as the three people before shuck in fear.

" Take me to him before he actually spots one of you waste following him"

.....

A youth with dreads could be seen walking through the crowd seemingly unperturbed by his surroundings.He had a little smirk as he walked nonchalantly.

A distance behind him the individuals following him could be nothing but the opposite.Sweat flooded some faces as they made sure to keep there distance apart.

"How can he be so oblivious to his surrounding at the moment? knowing fairly well that his head is being hunted"

The man in yellow could not bare to question as he looked on the youth before him with a curious gaze.

" This guy is a definate madman, how could the normal understand such a person?"

" Would a normal man dare to do such act as he has done? If there is not a screw lose in his head then the moon is just a giant shining a lantern at us from space."

The discussion continued as they made there way until the streets became less and less occupied. Soon no one could be sene as they reached a low traffic area in the west of the city.

Before them they saw an old abandon large factory that seemingly went through the centuries of time.

Cracks could be seen on the walls and the roof above looked old and withered. The whole building looked like it could collapse at any given moment.

He then made his way into the aparantly unstable building to the surprise of the prying eyes behing him.

" Why is he entering this old god forsaken factory at this time of the Night?"

They all looked at each other as the question was brought up.

" Who knows? probably this is his hide out and the reason we could never figure out where he is from"

" After all, who would think anyone could live in a place like this "

The man in yellow and white interjected as they stood outside the building not daring to enter.

" He truly is a rodent it seem, as only a rat could live in such a place. Does he not fear for his own demise living in a dump like this"

The previously disgruntled girl jumped at the chance to put down the mouse. She really hated the sight of him with every fiber of her being.

....

Suddenly they felt a presence appear before them dressed in black with a haunting smile plastered all on face.

" Is he the one I just saw entering the building just now?"

The question was posed by the elder to the startled group. They looked at the man dressed in black and behind him were a large group of people they were far too familiar with.

There was Gomorra, Brent, Stefan and other leaders of the different gangs from the city with varied expression.

Gomorra had a look of expectancy; while Brent and Stefan showed signs of someone who did not want to take part. How could they not though knowing how dispicable the man before them was?

Inside the factory there was the mouse sitting on a brick with his eyes close.

" I'm really hoping you won't disappoint me dear old senior"

He grinned as he thought.
