The half-hour passed by so slowly, as both Kary and Alexander stressed for the battle to come. It wasn't like rats scared them, but the meaning of the battle itself did.
They would need to battle in the middle of a city, where people lived, and make sure the battle didn't overflow into a crowded area. To make matters worse, they would have to remain as unseen as possible.
Even if the world started seeing that things were changing, David insisted it still wasn't time yet to be out in the open about it. He kept saying he was waiting for a specific moment.
Whenever that was, was anyone's guess.
But as the last minutes ticked down, and the couple took the elevator to the lobby, a hooded figure entered the lobby as they exited the elevator.
Alexander recognized the hurried gait of the man and whistled lightly to catch his attention. David stopped his hurried gait toward the counter, hearing the whistle, and turned to face the direction it had come from.
