"Now, those bracelets don't only make you superior to normal humans."
He grins and pulls out a small device.
"If at any point I feel as though you are breaking away from the contract, this here device can activate the kill mode. They will pump you full of all sorts of fun and highly dangerous chemicals. Or, I can have it just self-destruct, and take your entire arm."
I grit my teeth and glare at him.
Bastard, so now we have no way out. Even the small windows before now are closed.
Devon clenches his fist and nods.
"Understood, so what minimal knowledge can you give us on this guy's tendencies and habits? Frequent locations? We need everything possible for you to give us."
Devon says as Ven opens his book back up. The official smiles.
"He often would visit a girl he liked, at MoonBucks coffeehouse. He was also known to go to several bars and underground establishments. I'm sure your friend there could find out which ones, with his 'Underworld Connections'."
He says while smiling. I sigh and pop my neck.
"Alright, so now we have the basic information. But, why did we need these?"
I ask, holding up my Accelerator. The official laughs.
"Well, not only do they enhance your physical abilities. They also allow us to track you and get rid of you, if the need arises. We'll take them off when your mission is completed."
Alex speaks up.
"So, just to clarify; when we find this guy, we can kill or torture him however we want? And if he's told others about classified info, we kill them as well?"
He asks as the official nods in aggreeance.
"That is correct. You will be escorted out by guards, from there you will be on your own."
He says as I sigh.
This is going to be a pain, I can already tell.
"Oh! I almost forgot!"
The official quickly walks over to a small cabinet and pulls out several boxes.
"Two of you already have masks, but I reccomend that the rest of you wear masks as well. If someone knows who you really are, it could make things difficult. Especially since the police don't know about what we're doing."
He says, laying out several masks from boxes. He puts a demon-esqu mask on the table, black and red with 2 horns. The next mask is a spiraling mask with strange eye holes. The third mask is a white animal mask. The final mask is a face mask that hooks on your ears with a white bone grin on it, similar to facemasks used in public settings.
Ven quickly grabs the demon mask and hooks it on the left side of his face, keeping half of his face revealed.
Alex grabs the animal mask.
Shocker, who could've guessed.
I quickly grab the mask with the bones, similar to a mexican sugar skull. I quickly speak up.
"Are you going to show us how to use our Accelerators?"
I ask, the offical shaking his head.
"You should figure out in the field. This will be a good test to see how easy they are to use."
He replies as Ven chuckles.
"And what if one of us is killed and they take the Accelerator? All because we didn't know how to properly use it?"
The official laughs at his question, clearly agitating Ven.
"Impossible, they have a built in heart monitor. If you flatline for more than 15 minutes, they'll automatically self destruct. Therefore, it would be impossible for someone to hijack the tech."
He says with a proud smile.
"Now, guards, if you do not mind."
The guards quickly walk into the room and show us out. As we walk down the hall, I put my mask on fully. I see Ven and Alex do the same. As we exit the asylum, we see several people walking outside. They all look over and stare in confusion.
"I say we go to the coffeehouse first. MoonBucks."
Devon says as I nod in aggreeance. Evan waves wildly at the strangers staring at us. Ven sighs and pulls his hand down.
"The goal is to not be sticking out too much apparently, even though the masks we were given really don't assist in that objective."
Alex chuckles and starts walking away.
"Let's get going, I'm anxious to get this mission over with."
He mumbles while walking away. We all follow him, keeping an eye on the civilians around us. After several minutes, we hear sirens approaching us. None of us seem to care much, assuming they aren't coming for us.
After about 20 minutes of walking, a cop car pulls up next to us. As the door opens a fat man with no hair step out and laughs.
"Boy, boy, boy, what do we have here? We've recieved some calls about people walking down the road suspiciously."
The cop says as he stares at us.
"Now what are you boys up to."
Before any of us can answer with a lie, Evan laughs and speaks up.
"We're going to kill someone. It's really fun!"
He says as the cop stares at him confusedly.
"Well, I guess that coincides with the calls of you all leaving an insane asylum. Alright, get in. I'll take you all back."
Devon steps towards the car as the cop opens the door. As Devon reaches the door, the cop carelessly looks to us and starts talking.
"See, it's all good. Just don't want any harm to come to you or anyone els-."
Devon grabs the cops forearm and breaks it in two. Before the cop can scream, he jams the protruding forearm bone through the cops throat several times. We all sit in shock and watch Devon murder the cop in broad daylight.
A concerned scream about fourty feet to our left causes us to quickly load up into the cop car. Devon and I get in the front seat while everyone else gets in the back seat. Devon quickly rips the keys from the cops bloody body and starts the car.
Great, not even an hour into our mission and I think we've already fucked it.
Devon turns the car and backs over the cop, then puts it in drive and runs him over.
I hear a tap on the glass behind me, separating back seat from the front seat. I see Ven holding the police officers handgun.
I sigh as we drive away.
