Chapter 3 - No Rest For The Wicked

**Warning for Language**

.

.

.

Alec sprints to the playground, sweaty and tired already, but the playground is just around the corner and as he makes that turn, he sees on the road next to the playground is covered by a huge cloud of smoke.

.

And from that smoke, Gogo emerges, running away stoicly and in a seemingly casual silence.

.

"GODDAMMIT GOGO!!!" Alec runs towards Gogo who is also running towards him.

.

Then a head of a bat that was like the size of a small boulder, with white fur running around its neck like a scarf, suddenly emerges out of the smoke.

.

Alec seeing this instinctively removes his bag as he runs past Gogo, and then throws it at the huge head of a bat.

.

… Which misses. As the smoke covering the body finally dissipates.

.

"Ah jesus." Alec in shock by the huge gorilla arms of the monster, 3 times bigger than the head, and the body is equal to the arms in density.

.

"Yes, my name is Jezus" the monster spoke seriously.

.

"Arent you supposed to be a demon? How are you named after a dude who was the son of God?" He murmured to himself.

.

Alec then looks at the demon's legs and they were short like the legs of gorilla's but thinner.

"Must have skipped leg day." Alec thought.

.

The demon then picks up the bag that Alec threw as the man was turning around to run, and once he did, the demon threw the bag at his back causing him to fall to his face.

.

Alec groans, about to get back up, "Ah sh-" Then suddenly the demon slaps him from the side, making him violently be thrown sideways just from that slap to the direction of the playground and landing perfectly unto the bench.

.

Alec coughs up some blood and gasps for some air, before taking a bit of a rest and thinking, "I can't breathe properly, my arm that was slapped, is dislocated. How the fuck do I beat this guy?"

.

"This is a shitty situation where im about to die. Yet… this situation and just even mentioning how shitty it is makes my blood pump. Im… enjoying this!" He murmured.

.

He sighs, before standing back up while having a demonical smile on his face.

He rolled up his sleeves and took of his tie to breathe better and to use the tie as a weapon if a moment opens itself.

.

"Think Alec think!" he told himself, as the demon runs towards him.

.

"Your tasty youthful meat skin, would make for a great meal!"

.

"Running towards the nearest public safety station, and to avoid getting hit a lot, I should go through the smallest but quick routes, to also avoid passerbys from being eaten by this dipshit." He thought. And just as the demon was about to reach him, he finally started running away for that station which was 2 blocks away and the opposite direction of his workplace.

.

He sprinted as fast as he could, his legs giving out, he screamed out of his lungs, "SHITTTT" as the monster is about to reach out for his back.

.

He leaped over the steps of the playground and turned around the corner nearly tripping and the momentum causes him to not be able to turn properly and slam to the wall of the alley he was going to take.

.

"EVERY SECOND COUNTS YA DIPSHIT BODY! MOVE!" He quickly sprinted away again right as the monster barely scrapes the back of his white uniform.

.

The demon took his chase to the rooftops of the houses to gain an advantage on Alec but every time the demon reached out for him, Alec just ducked.

.

"DEMONS REALLY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR WITT AND SMARTASSERY!" he yelled out at the demon.

.

The demon looked up ahead and planned to block off the end of the alley and catch Alec but as he leaped to the exit, Alec slid under him, past him, twisting his body to stand back up instantly and as he turned…

A truck suddenly appeared and crashed unto the demon.

.

"Heh… you dumbass we are in front of the PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION STATION!!!" he stood tall, as his plan worked and his heart beating in adrenaline and excitement.

.

Gogo leaps out of the truck and lands next to Alec before she calls out his name.

"Alec."

.

"Yeah?"

.

"Did I do good?"

.

"Yeah you did…"

.

"Did you enjoy it Alec?"

.

"Yeah I did…"

.

"Alec… if you follow me, fight for me, you will experience greater excitement and adrenaline, with my vision and your help we will achieve our dreams. We will strive for the stars and I will… and I mean I WILL, strive for world domination."

.

"…" Alec stunned by her declaration and even got his heart pumping with excitement from her words of declaration alone.

.

----

Alec later wakes up in a hospital bed, having passed out from all the beating. The cold afternoon breeze from the hospital window woke him up.

.

He takes the air in for a few seconds, enjoying the moment of relaxation.

.

"Im gonna receive an earful from my boss the next time im back to work." He sighs and reminisces about the situations he got himself in this past few days and it gets his heart pumping, to the point of it aching his dislocated arm.

"Ah goddammit…"

.

He rethinks about what Gogo told him before he passed out and really thinks hard, "What do I do…"

.

He groans and lays on his side, going back to sleep to cool down his mind and think about it properly the next time.

.

The light breeze caresses his face as he sleeps, the rustling of the trees nearby, the pinkish sky as the sunsets, makes for a painting worthy moment.

He then starts snoring loudly.

.

----

Somewhere in Ward 1, during a burial, men in trench coats surround the casket for Alex Ryback, the father of Alec.

.

It rained heavily, yet no one brought an umbrella. The men then lower the casket before consecutively spitting at it.

.

A short, blue imp with no signs of rain drops touching his skin despite not using an umbrella, talks to a tall man, the tall man that attacked Alec in his apartment, who ducks down to hear what the imp has to say.

"Rent another space, next to this one. His kid will need it." The imp declared.
