Chapter 3: Inversion

Since the lights were off, I could barely see anything. I wait a few short seconds before turning around slowly... nothing there. Possibly a stray Fleech or something. Ekolb's snoring once more caught my attention. Time to tag him and get him bagged.

I move my hand downwards towards my belt. I grip my yellow whip and move my arm backwards, preparing to swing. I then fully swing the whip, allowing it to hit Ekolb. Ekolb would have probably yelled out, but the whip makes that impossible. The end of the whip is coated with several nano-injectors which cause a tranquilization effect to the victim. I open the door from the inside and then drag him out into the streets. Hope the cobbles won't bother him too much.

That was the easy part. Now I had to drag this 29 stone fellow back to base. That's right. I had to drag this guy about ten miles in a brown bag. How noticeable do you think that makes me? I'll tell you how... VERY noticeable. Yeah.

The streets were cold at night. The fog was thick and the walls were thicker still. Most of this sector was full of apartments and fifteen foot high walls. Dark gray bricks, with little dents here and there. Not to mention the odd jagged nail or two.

Well turns out it was easier than I thought. At least, it was for the first eight miles. On the ninth mile, my feet begin to get sore and my arms begin to feel heavy. A few more miles of sluggish speed... I had to swap arms a lot and keep taking breaks. My breathing was getting heavy.

Suddenly I hear a whistling nearby. Darn, seems like the law is around every corner these days. I saw a dumpster nearby, I place Ekolb's body there while I think he won't see it... then I wait for those inevitable words.

"Well hello there. What are you doing out this late at night?"

EDIT: enchilado, I'm merely a rookie. I find it hard to compare myself with the great writers like molluck's assistant, Sl'askia and Teal. Even Moosh Da Outlaw and Munch's Master are still people that I really admire.

I just try and write what I would like to hear. I get inspired easily by watching films and playing games. Thank you all for the support. This is a real boost for me to be able to inspire others and help people to relax.

EDIT AGAIN: Okay Oddey, thanks for reminding me.
