Chapter 5
Justin arrived at Derolo's house and could feel himself shaking.
He opened the black door and found his brother sitting, his hands resting on the mahogany desk as his glasses glinted in the light.
Derolo was a thirty year old man with a scar on his right eye. He had brown hair and black eyes, giving him a beautiful feature. He was a muscular man and very educated. It was almost impossible to think that he was only part of the gangsters, especially with his intellect.
The new world had different careers, aside from the normal careers like nursing or teaching or even cooking. The emergence of the black moon had paved the way for new careers that were once frowned upon.
On the bright side, decent jobs existed, like doctoring and the likes and then on the dark side, there was the mafia, assassins, gangsters, serial killers,robbers, murderers and the likes.
Basically, crime became a job. No one could rival the current development so they chose to just go with the flow.
But, on the dark side, the mafia stood at the top of the food chain, and it was the dream of everyone to become part of the mafia.
The mafia were a group of extremely smart and cunning people. They were manipulative and knew how to get what they wanted. But, most of all, they were brutal and very unforgiving. They stood at the apex of crime, and one thing that made that possible was their ability to carry out operations in a very organized manner.
"Big brother.." Justin called.
Derolo raised his head to meet Justin's gaze and glared at him.
Justin swallowed gently, going closer to his brother. He got down on his knees as soon as he got to his front and started begging.
"I didn't mean to kill him. I only just needed his assistance in helping me study. That was all. I have no remembrance of how he died."
Derolo hit his forehead with a sigh. "Did you find the body?"
"No.. there was no body but I'm sure of it. My gun was in my hand and there was blood on the floor."
He stood up from his seat, stalking towards him slowly. He opened his mouth to speak but was stopped when his phone began to ring.
Derolo clenched his fists as he answered the call.
"Yes, the gathering will be held today, it has been confirmed. Yes, I have received the deposit."
He sighed as he put his phone back in his pocket.
"Gather the boys, we're having a raid."
….
In a class where a lot of students were focused on their exams, doing their best to ensure that they got perfect scores on the difficult exam,a black haired boy sat, nibbling on his fingers.
[Time left till punishment is over: two hours, fifteen minutes]
'Why can't I remember anything?" Alfred thought. He was aware that he was writing an exam and he knew it was important but he couldn't remember. It was like he knew that he existed, knew that he knew people but he just didn't remember.
"Fifteen minutes left!" The invigilator yelled from the front. This caused the students to panic as they were reminded of their limited time but Alfred could do nothing.
'What the hell is with this messed up system?' He questioned himself, clenching his fists as he sat.
The only thing he could do was to stare at his blank sheet as his time wasted away.
"Time up! Pens up!"
'Shit."
Alfred tried to stand but he couldn't, he was rooted to his seat and he watched as the invigilator took away his empty paper from him.
"Alfred Savage, eh? And you belong to the dark side." The invigilator scoffed, "Guess you're not as smart as the people of your kind."
…..
A group of men and women in black clothes, they each had a silver handkerchief tied to their wrists. On their heads, they wore a headband that had a mark on it, a symbol. It was the head of a dragon. They were the Destro gang.
They wore smirks and grimaces on their faces as they approached their place of operation, different weapons in their hands, ranging from a baseball bat to a sword and guns.
"What we need to get from them is the serum that is being kept in the safe. That is what we were paid for! Try not to kill anyone but if the situation needs killing, kill them. Destroy anyone who stands in our way!"
They all cheered and yelled as they entered the large building which had mirror-like windows. Although it was basically glass, it was hard to see what was going on inside. It was a research center afterall.
As the members of the Destro gang charged in,a middle aged man in black suit and a long coat with well polished shoes stood behind. His brown hair was gelled to the back and he looked like an important and rich person.
"Big brother, what will you do now?" Justin asked,turning to look at his brother.
Derolo stood with his hands tucked deeply in his coat pocket and watched with a serious expression.
His fists were clenched and a vein popped in his head. 'If only you were here, we wouldn't need to do puny jobs like this. I've made it this far because of you, Damon Savage." He bit his lips subtly in thought.
He began walking and headed in a different direction. Justin and two other people followed him. A lady and a man. The lady was called Suzie and the man was George.
They walked and after making different turns, they arrived at a shed.
"Who could have thought anything like this could exist in a place like this." Suzie commented, her voice was soft and sweet.
"They claim to be on the bright side but look at what they're doing." George added, his voice dark and filled with disgust.
"So, what exactly do we want to do here?" Justin asked, not understanding why they were in a different location from others. "I thought the job was to get the serum."
"That is their job, to get rid of the product, our job is to get rid of the source." Derolo informed.
"Honestly,I'm really surprised that you decided to accompany us." Suzie confessed.
"We must get rid of the vermin. We're killing every living thing in that shed. That is our job."
