Chapter 5 - The Instigator

I drove down to the boneyard today to meet up with a kid who has beef with me stating that I killed his entire clan. I have everything prepared in case things went under and the deal is off. But I know I'm a step ahead him already.

I arrive in the boneyard what seems to be the kid waiting there for me. "So you're Mr. Killjoy? You didn't bring any of your friends did you?" The kid knows stuff can happen when meeting someone. "I work alone kid anyways do you agree with the terms I sent you?" The kid seemed to be up to speed already. "Anyways since it feels like you understand why I had to call you out here is to- Kid get down!" As I shouted the kid gets down and I shot the assailant with the revolver I pulled out of my holster. "Kid you okay?" The kid nods and I walked towards the assailant as he bleeds out on the floor.

"Hey, we bought your guns why did you shot me? I was just finishing my task anyways without you being an annoying miscalculation that our dealer would betray us." Said the bleeding man. "Oh, I didn't betray anyone. I don't have a bias towards. You were uninvited to this meetup knowing full well what is happening here. So remember no trespassers unless you have an appointment." As I shot his head with the revolver finishing him off. I took the gun he had and cleaned it off of blood.

"Why did you shot your own client?" Said the kid. "You know you're smart at times kid but this time its not that time. I killed him because he was trespassing my land. Also you were oblivious that you called me on a public line and you didn't use the private line your clan has. Our talk was fucking wire-tapped. Thankfully they didn't hear most of our investigation due to me intervening the wire-tapper."

"I see. But why are you even helping me?" Said the kid. "Again I equalize things what had happen to you. Don't you want to flat out that curve of yours, if they killed 500 of your men, why not kill 500 of theirs? Equalize the odds. Or even win the favor to your side like if they killed 500 of yours kill 600 of them that means you're in the advantage."

"I just want to avenge my clan." Like I said this kid is interesting. "Okay then. You owe me a blank check." As I walk to my warehouse opening the gate to showcase a wall of weapons. "Pick your favorite kid. It's your birthday." The kid is awestruck on the amount of weapons I store here.

"Come on now kid be like a child on a candy store pick your favorites. I'll give you 5 guns for free on loan of course." After that nonsense the kid picked out his guns and I prepared the cases for him and the ammunition he'll be needing. "Hey kid, don't die out there." As I give a bit of words of encouragement to the brave kid.

"Hey, wait. I forgot to give you this. The locations of your killers I want those guns to be back here in one piece. Okay?" The kid nodded and left to fulfill his thirst for vengeance for tonight. The next step is what am I gonna do with the kid one he fulfills his wish.

I have a hunch that he will go overboard on this one. I just have to be prepared for the worst. The night is young and is as interesting since I finally have something to do. I'll stay in the warehouse until he comes back. Let's dust off the racks since its been a while.

An hour later... My phone started ringing I looked at it and it seems like its Mr. Cedric. "Hello, how's it been?" From the way I answered he might be in a weird mood right now. "Vaughn I heard you loaned guns to that kid." This time he sounds a bit pissed off quite unusual for him. "Yes, why? What's the problem with that?" As I answered calmly to his aggression. "*sigh* At least I know you're doing your equalizer thing again."

"Yes, I have to do what I have to do right?" I say this while I'm grabbing something to drink. "My problem is that you didn't inform me of this one." Oh yeah, I forgot to tell him this. "Sorry about that one it was an out of the blue request from him anyways I was surprised myself too. That he wanted revenge."

I can hear him sigh after what I've said. "You're responsible for this one this time Vaughn you know what to do after." Of course its my fault then. "Yes, I'll fix it myself soon." Sipping whiskey while listening to his whining. "You better be. We don't want another incident like the one you did a few years ago." Ah yes... THAT incident.

"Don't worry I won't let that happen." After that I heard my cameras spotted someone. I hung up the call and came to check and its seems like the kid came back. "How's your revenge there kid? Fun right?" As I saw a kid who had gone through hell and back. "It was well worth it. I killed all of them... ALL OF THEM."

"So you went a bit over there kid nice job I guess. I'll be returning my loaned guns after all you owe me something." As the kid fixes himself and starts packing up the guns I borrowed. "Well kid, I guess I have to finish the job." As I shot the kid behind his head. "That takes care that clan war of yours. No one lives in the end, after all I'm the Equalizer." As I call my friend from the media who caught on the massacre of the two clans.

"I have a scoop for you. I did my own investigation and found out that it was a suicide mission that killed both clans the perpetrator killed himself by burning himself on a grave site." I was saying this while I pour gasoline on the poor kid's body. "I see thanks for the information!" As he hangs up the call I buried his remains. "This is why you don't mess with the source kid."

I didn't meant to finish him off like this but it gave me an opportunity to hit two birds with one stone clearing out both aggressive clans they made my clean up easy cover up.
