"Stupid Geezer!" Avecii muttered as he kicked a nearby stone as he walked down the street.
From his pocket he pulled out the shield insignia and stared at it. I love you, my sons! The old man's voice echoed in his head. Suddenly Avecii was overcome with anger as he furrowed his eyebrows and pulled his arm back to throw it but stopped. He knew this would at least buy him a few days worth of food if he sold it to the right person. He let out a grunt and shoved it back into his pocket and continued walking down until he was a couple more streets down then rounded a corner into an alley.
As he walked through it he saw shady figures and faces surrounding the walls, some he recognized while others foreign to him.
"PRIMO!!" A large man shouted as he grabbed a child who looked the same age as Avecii and threw him into a pile of garbage.
"Where are you going with that?" The man grinned as he reached for the child.
Avecii kept walking forwards bumping into the large man and getting his attention.
"You want some too?!" The man glared at Avecii.
"No… but he does..." Avecii motioned with his head towards the other child who slammed a hard piece of metal against the man's temples.
He slowly let go of the other child as he crumbled to the ground. The other child nodded to Avecii before walking away in the direction Avecii came in. Avecii shrugged and continued walking forwards before rounding another corner and entering a small entryway. SLAM! SLAM! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! He kicked the door twice and knocked thrice and in a few moments the door flew open.
"AVE!!!!!!!!" The lanky man on the other side shouted with a smile.
He was wearing a purple suit with a white shirt that was accented with black polka dots on underneath. He had long, black shaggy hair that had quite a few streaks of white that fell to his neck, golden glasses and a small nose. On each of his hands were golden rings with different gemstones. He leaned down and stared at Avecii's face with a huge grin.
"Get away, your breath wreaks Skunk!" Avecii said as he pushed his face to the side and walked inside of the building.
"Oh no," He grabbed Avecii by the waist, "I have some important guests over right now, I'll talk to you later."
"Like I care!" Avecii pulled his arm away and continued walking inside.
"Don't tell me I didn't warn you, you're responsible for your safety you know..." he said with a devilish grin.
Avecii walked into the building which opened up into a large living room. It's walls were a dark brown with a long, rectangular, light brown coffee table sitting in the middle of the room surrounded by dark green sofas. On the opposite side of the room was a door that led to a kitchen and some rooms while around the walls were bookcases and cages, inside of which guns and rifles were stored.
On the sofas were a strange group of people. There was a long man sitting on the three seater in the middle by himself. He was wearing a long black coat with black pants on underneath. Under the long coat was a black hoodie who's hood he was wearing. He had lacquer hair that poked out from under the hood and cold, heartless black eyes. Both his sleeves were rolled up to reveal two words on each of his two forearms, on his right was the word 'Nocturne' while on the left was 'Mietitore'. Behind him against the wall was a giant silver scythe that looked to have a retractable handle made of a matte black metal.
Sitting on the two seater were two more strangely dressed men. The one on the left looked to be somewhat scrawny and shorter than the long man. He had a black mask that was made out of cloth that went from the bridge of his nose to the bottom of his neck. He had short black hair and unnervingly focused black eyes. He was wearing a black jacket that had brown faux fur around his neck and where the sleeves of the jacket ended which was slightly above his wrists. He was also wearing white gloves and dark pants and a black shirt with a white tie on underneath. The man to his left was the most well dressed out of the four individuals present around the sofas wearing a black and white striped suit with a white shirt on underneath and a black fedora with black shades. He had white hair that poked slightly out from underneath the fedora and when he smiled, showed gold teeth. The fourth man was standing behind the two seater sofa. He was the largest out of the four men with his head barely scraping against the eight feet high roof of the living room. He had a very round composition and wore a white short with the sleeves rolled up on brown pants. He had almost no hair left and several dents in his head and a misshapen fast, almost as if he had been on the receiving end of every punch. He had ferocious blue eyes and glared at Avecii as he slowly walked into the room and sat down on the one seat sofa opposite of the two seater.
"I'm sorry gentlemen, an old friend stopped by," He motioned towards Avecii, "And I couldn't turn him down..."
"Now then Ave, what can I do for you?" He spoke carefully.
"Where can I sell this for a high price?" Avecii asked, pulling out the shield insignia.
The man in the three seat sofa's eyes widened as he saw the insignia before coming back to their resting position. He slowly got up from the sofa and showed his height, only slightly shorter than the giant man behind the sofa.
"Skunk," He said in a raspy voice, "On second thought I won't need anything from you anymore..."
He slowly walked over to the scythe and gripped it tightly, quickly spinning around and placing the blade against Avecii's neck. The other three sprang into action as well, with the man with the mask immediately leaping up and darting towards Skunk and placing a small curved dagger against his neck while the other two pulled out they're rifles and took aim.
"But I will need this boy..." The man said.
"Mr. Azrail, let's not be hasty, I'm sure he would give it to you if you asked… right Ave..." He glared at Avecii.
"No… The boy and the insignia, only if they're together will that monster take action." Azrail said as he walked towards Avecii.
In a split second he bent over and drove his fist into Avecii's stomach causing his body to fall limp.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you..." Azrail said as he motioned to his men to leave, leaving Skunk alone in the room.
