Chapter 5 - The Boss

The Boss: "Emilia, i thought i had teached you better. If you lie to others, then atleast make it believable"

He says, getting closer to Emilia, touching her chin and raising her head up.

Emilia closes her eyes, letting a tear dropping.

The Boss: "Oh come on Emilia, don't cry, a old man like me has a weak heart."

The Boss let's go of her chin, touching himself on his breast, making a sad face.

The Boss: "Seeing a young girl cry breaks my heart"

Daniel: "E-ehm sorry Boss, b-but i also have something to tell you."

The Boss turns his head to Daniel, looking at him with a face full of curiosity.

He then looks up, thinking about something while tipping his chin quickly with his index finger.

Daniel: "B-boss?"

The Boss: "Who are you again?"

He asks.

Daniel frightens,

Daniel: "W-what do u mean, i-I'm the new guy, Daniel"

He responds, shaking in fear.

The Boss: "Really? I don't remember hiring someone new."

Broker: "Yo Boss, I don't want to interrupt your conversation, but I don't have time for

this shit, kill them or let me do it."

He interrupts them

The Boss: "Broker, since when did we become so inpatient?"

Broker: "Since i got fucking fooled by one of yours you old fuck"

He says furiously.

The people around Broker take out their guns, basically threaten the Boss.

The Boss: "So this is the thanks for when I took you in, when you only where a mere street-kid, being beaten up daily?"

The Boss says in a loud voice, turning his body to him.

Broker: "Still holding on to the past I see, I paid my debt to you at least double, matter of fact, you still standing here is thanks to me. So, seeing one of yours trying to fool me makes me fucking mad.

Broker responds in a similar, loud voice.

The Boss: "Yeah, your right, you did pay me back"

He responds in a calm tone, turning his back to him.

Broker then smiles, thinking he finally showed who now is the one in charge, thinking that he demonstrated his position.

Henchmen 1: "B-broker?"

One of Brokers henchmen say, turning to him and starring at Broker in confusion.

Suddenly, every person around Broker starts to get a bloody mouth, spitting out alot of blood.

They all fall of their lower half of their body, dropping to the ground and leaving a puddle of blood and horizontal cutted henchman around Broker.

Broker: "W-what the…"

Broker says in confusion, watching all the people around him drop in half.

He then turns his head to the Boss, knowing that he is the one responsible for this mess.

The Boss: "But never say that you are the reason that im still here, you dumb shit."

He adds mockingly to his sentence, starring Broker down.

The Boss: "See you living as a sign of us being quit"

He says to a raging Broker.

Broker: "BOSSSS!!!"

Broker shouts in fury.

Suddenly, the whole hall gets filled with very thick fog.

Emilia: "Our chance"

She says before grabbing Daniels hand.

Daniel: "B-but I can't see anything"

Daniel responds with a fully turned red face.

Emilia: "No problem, leave that to me."

She responds while stretching out her hand.

The thick fog in-front of her then moves to both sides, splitting in half, leaving a clear path to the exit while the rest of the room still is covered in fog.

Daniel: "Whoah Emilia the fog was your doing, right?"

He asks surprised, amazed by Emilia's ability.

Emilia: "Let us get out of here."

She responds, before finally reaching the door.

Emilia suddenly falls to the ground, screaming in pain, revealing a deep cut on her right calf.

Daniel: "EMILIA"

He shouts, instantly undressing his sailor uniform, completely revealing his upper body while pressing his uniform against her wound.

Emilia: "Im alright, j-just a scratch, matter of fact i did not expect you to be this trained"

She says with a surprised look in her face, commenting on Daniel's well trained body.

The Boss: "Running away like a coward might be something i teached you"

He says, before revealing himself by walking out of the fog, leaving the hall.

The Boss: "This is proof of me getting older, I aimed to cut your whole leg off"

He says with a smile, before pointing his finger at them, revealing a sharp-edged, spinning soap bubble in front of his finger.

Daniel stares at the Boss with anger, still pressing his uniform on Emilias wounded leg.

Daniel: "Hold it"

He says to Emilia, telling her to press the in blood drained uniform, on her wound.

He then pulls out a gun from behind him, that he hid in his pants, pointing it at the Boss.

Daniel: "I-C-D Special Agent Daniel Krueger, surrender now or i will shoot"

He shouts at the Boss.

ICD stands for: Imperal Crime Department

The Great Empire's department for investigating organized crime.

The Boss: "I knew I never hire a new guy"

He responds, having all his doubts instantly leaving.

Daniel: "You actually did hire me"

He says with a smile, leaving the Boss confused.

The Boss: "Then i guess i did get old"

He responds to Daniel, taking a step to the front leading.

Daniel pulls the trigger of his gun, shooting at him.

The bullets bounces off mid air, slightly revealing a big bubble that surrounds the Boss.

Emilia, still wounded, stretches her hand to the air, turning her arm into a huge axe made out of fog, it being a little shorter than the hall itself, dropping it on the Boss.

The axe drops on on top of the bubble, pressing it down. The Boss stretches his arms to the top of the bubble, making a stress less face, while holding of the fog axe of dropping on him.

Emilia: "This is our chance"

She says, grabbing Daniel and pressing him onto her.

Daniel: "Yeah time to finish this"

He says, before making a confused face when suddenly, Emilia turns the lower part of her body into fog, quickly flying away with him.

The axe disappears, leaving the Boss starring to the sky before chasing them by foot.

Daniel: "What are you doing Emilia? We could have ended him."

Emilia: "I don't know what you have been investigating until now special agent, but by now you should have noticed that we don't stand a chance, matter of fact, i don't know how long it will take until he catches up to us."

Daniel stares at Emilia, confused by her statement.

He then watches down, shocked by what he is witnessing, watching the Boss chasing them by foot, running at superhuman speed and nearly catching up to him.

A feat a normal old man could not archive.

Daniel: "What the fu-"

Emilia: "Argh"

She screams, revealing a fresh and deep cut in her stomach, interrupting Daniel.

They drop from mid air into water, next to the port near the street.

Daniel grabs Emilia with one arm, carrying her up a ladder, reaching solid ground.

Emilia coughs out water,

Emilia: "T-thanks Daniel"

Daniel, unable to answer her for being out of breath, raises his thumb.

The Boss catches up to them, standing around ten feet away of them.

The Boss: "This was a fun chase Emilia"

He says, watching them laying helpless on the ground.

He then stretches his hand, making a soap bubble and forming it to a sharp sword.

The Boss: "But running is pointless now."

He adds to his sentence.

Daniel pulls out his gun, shooting at the Boss, but the bullets bounce off mid air, revealing again the giant bubble around him.

The Boss then stretches his hand out, shooting out a razorsharp disc-bubble, cutting the gun from the front to the back in half, also cutting of Daniels exterior side of his left arm, including his pinkie and ring finger.

Daniel screams in pain, holding his wounded arm.

Emilia watches helplessly frustrated, unable to do anything to help Daniel.

Emilia: "Im so sorry Daniel, mom, Henry, it's over for me."

She says, accepting her faith.

???: "Yo, old man"

A familiar voice says.

Emilia, suddenly filled with relief and happiness, starts to cry instantly.

Emilia: "H-Henryyy"

She shouts with a sobbing smile.

Henry: "What do you think you are doing"

He adds to his sentence, standing a foot behind the Boss.
