.
It was a very stormy night, windy, puddles of nasty water everywhere and some lightning to add to it. We then see a police car driving into an orphanage called Children of God, as the car then parks next to the door. We then see a door open and a police officer then runs to the door, she then knocks on the door a few times and waits. A few minutes later, a woman in a dark green robe with yellow slippers on holding a flashlight opens the door.
''Hello officer, how may I help you tonight?'' She asked.
Officer-''Hello ma'am, I found a child on the road a couple miles away. I already took him to the station but we couldn't find anything about him. No family, home or anything. We would've called in ahead of time but this storm cut our power, somehow the damn generators don't work either. But, one of my Officers recommend this place so I brought him here, that's if you have room for another child.'' She said, for she was white with short brown hair, brown eyes, was wearing a light grey coat over her uniform and had a deputy hat on.
''I see, not even a name, date of birth or anything?'' She asked.
Officer-''The only thing we could find was his name and age, apparently his name is Neon Knight and he's nine years old.'' She said.
''Oh, what kind of name is that?'' She asked sounding a bit shocked and confused.
Officer-''I don't know, but other than his age that's all we got. He also only refers being called Neon Knight.'' She said.
''Oh, well, i guess it could be a name for someone, an odd name but alright, bring him in.'' She said, as she did the officer then walks back to her car and opens the back door. As she did, a child gets out of the car and walks next to the officer on her right. We see that the child is wearing a torn blue and grey T-shirt, grey shorts, and has a brown backpack with a few state stickers on it. ''Hello..Neon Knight, it's nice to meet you. My name is Mrs. Marnes, how are you?'' She asked him, but he didn't say anything and just walks by her. He then looks around the place and sees that the walls, ceiling were made from Birch Cherry wood including the floor, a lot of pictures, and some toys on the floor.
Officer-''I'll be back tomorrow to check on him, if that's fine with you.'' She said.
Mrs. Marnes-''Of course, oh and I didn't get your name officer.'' She said.
Officer-''Officer Patton, anyways have goodnight you two.'' She said.
Mrs. Marnes-''You too Officer.'' She said, as she did she then closed the door. She then turns around and walks over to Neon Knight. ''Follow me, lets get you some clean clothes okay?'' She asked him, he then follows her. ''So, do you know where your parents are?'' She asked him, but he didn't say anything. ''How about any other family, brothers, sisters, uncles or anything?'' She also asked him, but he still didn't say anything. ''Who named you Neon Knight or did you come up with it?'' She asked, but again, he said nothing. She then decided to asks him more questions in the morning. A couple minutes later, he got some new clothes on and was now in a bedroom with other children. ''So, these are some of the other children, i'll introduce you to them, the other staff and talk to you about the rules in the morning okay?'' She said, but all he did was put his backpack next to him and got under the covers. ''Okay, well, goodnight.'' She said, she then closes the door. After a minute or two, he then looks in his backpack and gets out a few movies he had. He then gets one and walks over to a TV, he then turns it on and turns the volume down to at least 5. He then puts the movie on for it was The Dark Knight, as he watches it he looks around making sure the other kids weren't awake. He then kept watching the movie.
11:42am
We see Neon was asleep in bed, but he then heard something and sat up. As he did, he then looked around him and to his right he saw a woman looking at him.
''Morning, names Annabelle, what's your name?'' She asked him smiling a bit at him. She had a southern accent, was peach white, had brown long hair, green eyes, was wearing a blue and black stripe shirt, blue jeans and had some light peach brown boots on. He then looks in his backpack and gives her a piece of paper saying ''Neon Knight, sounds pretty cool. So, where'd they find you?'' She asked, he then points outside. ''Really, well then how did survive out there for that long?'' She asked, he then got a pencil and paper and wrote Water, plants, fruits and nuts in forest. ''Cool, how old are you?'' She asked and he held up nine fingers. ''Nice, i'm 17, so how did you end up in the desert?'' She asked, as she did he then wrote down I walked. ''Where are you from?'' She asked, but he gets his backpack and points to a sticker that said Michigan on it. ''Oh okay, also what happened to your parents, killed, left you alone, abusive, died or anything?'' She asked, but was he wrote was Don't know. ''Oh, do you even know or remember them?"' She asked him, but he shook his head. ''Well, i'm sorry Neon. Anyways, if you want I can introduce you to some of the other kids.'' She offered him, he then nodded and got out of bed. We then see them walk around the orphanage, for their were a lot of children younger than Neon Knight, and some were a bit older than him. ''So yeah, this is pretty much it really, anyways just meet whoever, i'll be inside if you need me. Oh, and Mrs. Marnes is busy with some couple, but she'll talk to you about the rules soon.'' She said and left going back inside. But he looked around and was about to, but noticed a few cars in the parking lot. As he did, he then decides to go back inside. When he did, he heard talking upstairs and followed the sounds. He then saw a door slightly open as he then slowly walks over and watches.
Mrs. Marnes-''So why are you here now, i need to get to this one kid informed today?" She asked.
''We've been talking about this for a bit and...well, we've decided on looking for some new ones after...after we lost some.'' He said.
Mrs. Marnes-''(Sigh), i understand, what exactly happened?'' She asked.
''We don't wanna talk about it, not now at least with kids around.'' He said.
Mrs. Marnes-''Sure, how many do you want today?'' She asked.
''Well, after some complications and stuff we've been dealing with, we should get three just in case.'' She said.
Mrs. Marnes-''That's gonna take a few days, we'd need to get some more up to date papers but I think we can help you.'' She said.
''Alright, when can we see them?'' He asked.
Mrs. Marnes-''In a couple more minutes, also any specifics to make this easier?'' She asked.
''We've been looking for...younger if that's the right way to say it, that way it'll help us bond with them better.'' He said.
Mrs. Marnes-''Alright, how old would they need to be at least?'' She asked.
''4-6, three girls, we've heard that they're a lot easier than older ones.'' She said.
Mrs. Marnes-''Okay then, just a minute.'' She said, as she did she then pressed a button and spoke into a mic. ''Children, it's time to come inside.'' She said, she then places the papers in the left top draw of her desk. ''Alright, follow me.'' She said, as she did they all then got up and left the room. As they did, Neon Knight then moves from his hiding spot and enters the room. He then gets into a chair and looks through the draws he saw Mrs. Marnes put the papers, he then looks through them. As he did, he then puts them back and leaves the room. As he did, he sees Mrs. Marnes talk to one of the staff carrying some boxes that said something in a different language into a storage closet. Mrs. Marnes then leaves with the other adults, as they did the staff member then locks the door using a key with a blue dot on it and leaves. He then follows the staff member and sees him put the keys on a coffee table in his office. He heads upstairs and looks into the room seeing Mrs. Marnes with the adults looking at some of the children, as he did he noticed that one of the adults was on the phone while looking at some of the kids. He then secretly gets a pair of scissors from a kid without him noticing, as he did he then leaves and heads towards the staff members office. He then gets the one key with the blue dot for the storage room. After a few minutes, he gets to the storage room, unlocks the door and turns the lights on looking for the boxes. He finds them and opens them and sees what's inside. Once he does, he then closes the box, leaves and puts the key back with the rest of the keys. After that, he then goes back to Mrs. Marnes's office and calls the police.
10 minutes later
With Mrs. Marnes
We see that she was heading back into her office with the adults, they then enter the room and she sits back down in her seat and signs some papers.
Mrs. Marnes-''Alright, i'll get them ready i-'' She was saying, but heard sirens and knocks at the front door.
''MCSD, open the door now!''
As she heard this, she looked through her draw to see all her papers gone.
''What's going on Marnes?'' He asked.
Mrs. Marnes-''Just wait, i'll handle it.'' She said, she then left her office and went downstairs. She looked outside the window seeing police with some of the children. But as she did, the police knock on the door.
Officer-''Open the door, now!'' He said, she then sighed and unlocked the door. But as she did, she was grabbed and thrown to the floor and getting handcuffed. ''Sally Marnes, you're under arrest for murder and kidnapping.'' He said, as he did he then told her her Miranda right's and other officers were entering the building to get the others. As he did, we see Neon was watching from upstairs. As he did, he sees Annabelle watching over the kids with some of the officers. He then goes into the bedroom and packs up and gets some supplies. A couple minutes later, we see that Neon Knight was sitting on his bed, for the police would come back soon to get the children. Though, he had different plans. He made sure that he had everything, once he did, he then opened a window and jumped out avoiding the police and other kids. He made sure he had food, water, a map, some pencils, a pack of paper, a knife, a flashlight, extra clothes, two blankets and $500 on him. He then kept walking northeast back to town.
7:24pm
Mohave County
We see that it was sunset, for Neon Knight was drinking one of the water bottles he got. He then sees that he made it to town, he then looks around for a gas station to get out of the state. An hour later, he gets to a gas station and looks around for a pickup truck or anything. After looking around, he didn't see any and walks over to the one across the street and sees a grey pickup truck with bags in the trunk. He then walks over to it and climbs into it without anyone noticing him, as he did he then hides underneath a few bags. He then waits a couple minutes, as he did he then heard voices. He then sees two guys, one wearing a dark brown jacket and some type of short sleeve shirt and the other guy was wearing just a grey T-shirt.
Random guy with the jacket on-''Alright, you got everything?'' He asked, as he did he puts some pool noodles in the truck.
Other random guy with the grey T-shirt-''Yeah, oh and did you get some ice for the cooler?'' He asked.
Random guy with the jacket on-''Yeah, it's in the back. You know, Amber would've been great for the team, unlike Cathy.'' He said.
Other random guy with the grey T-shirt-''Yeah, Cathy is a b*tch.'' He said, as he did they both got in the truck and started it. As it did, Neon knight then looked in his backpack and got a blanket out and used his backpack as a pillow. As the truck kept driving, he looked up at the stars in the night sky. He then turned to his left and just enjoyed the ride.
4:43am
Grand Mesa National Forest
We see that it was mostly clear tonight, though there were some clouds forming. The truck was driving into a parking lot and stopped. As it did, we see the two random guys getting out of the truck. As they did, the one guy with the jacket stretched out a bit.
Random guy with the jacket still on-''(Yawn), say you wanna get the stuff unpacked later?'' He asked him.
Other random guy with the grey T-shirt still on-''Yeah, i'm kinda tired, that and I need to make a phone call real quick.'' He said, as he did they both then left. As they did, Neon then got out of the truck. He then checked his bag and saw that he had two days worth of food left, five bottles of water, and pretty much everything else he already had really. He then looks over at the lodge where there was some kind of party, though there weren't that many people there. He then got his flashlight out, turned it on and went into the forest. It was a bit dark, but he was on a trail instead of just wondering the forest or something. An hour or two passes by, and Neon Knight is now pretty far away from the lodge. Though, as he kept going he noticed that it was starting to get more and more cloudy. As it did, he also started hearing lightening but didn't see anything, he just heard it. But, a few minutes later, he sees a bunch of lava like lightning coming from the clouds. He then starts running, but some lightning was close by and caused an explosion which blew him back a few feet and was knocked out.
An hour later
We see that Neon was slowly waking up, for he got up and noticed that the forest was a lot different that it was before, even though it was a bit dark still. He then found his flashlight and decided to keep following the trail, hopeful to find anyone, or anything really. As hours went by, the sun slowly started to rise, as it was Neon Knight then turned the flashlight off and puts it back in his backpack. He kept walking trying to get through the forest. While walking, he noticed that the forest was getting a bit foggy and a little bit tropical actually. As he kept going, the forest started to get really foggy and a lot more tropical. He then climbed down a short cliff and kept walking until he sees a road ahead and walks towards it. He then gets to the road, as he does he looks around for any signs. After looking for a couple minutes, he sees a sign that says 'Now leaving Animal District' and route 23. He then looked back him, as he did he noticed that there were a few mountains and thousands of trees all over, including some palm trees. He then looked back at the sign and decided to head forward, he then got some water from his backpack and drank some. When he puts it away, he also noticed that the road seemed abandoned, or at least the route was. A few hours later, he was still near the road walking, but he then sees a very colorful city. He then went towards it, for it was pretty much the only civilization in miles.
3 hours later
10:42am
We see that he was now in the city, for he was walking on a bridge towards it as some cars drove by he noticed that they looked a bit different. As he kept going, he was shocked to see so many different creatures, animals, and really almost every type of mystical being you can think of, almost every type. As he kept walking around the city, he's so far see thousands of different animals, some walking on two, all four, all six, and seven. Some being mystical creatures of all different colors, and he also saw some humans but some didn't quite look as they seemed. He then looked for a place to sit for a moment, and saw a park close by. He then walks over, but watches traffic and gets to a bench. He then checks his bag and sees that he has 2 water bottles left, he then drinks some out of one and puts it away. He then gets up from the bench for he was pretty interested in the place, but he looked on the ground and saw a light/sky blue ribbon on the ground. He then picks it up looking at it, as he did he keeps walking looking at all the colorful buildings and different creatures. A couple minutes later, he sees a Red Kangaroo looking around for something with a brown Jackal and...some..something else.
''Hey, have you seen a light sky blue ribbon, i think I left it somewhere and the wind must've blown it away.'' She said.
He then decided to look for it, i mean its not like he was in a hurry for anything. He looked around the trees, in a birds nest but just found some picture, he looked across the streets, and the sidewalk but couldn't find it. But, he then saw it hanging from a tree branch. He then climbed it and grabbed it, as he did he carefully climbed down and he then went looking for the Red Kangaroo. After a couple minutes, he saw her with the other two. He then went over to then, once he was close he tapped the Red Kangaroo's shoulder and he gave her her blue ribbon.
''(Gasps), thank you so much, we've been looking everywhere for it!'' She said happily. ''Where did you find it?'' She asked, he then pointed towards the tree where he found it.
''Huh, well still thanks for finding it.'' Said the brown Jackal.
''Say, do you want join us, two against two?'' The creature thing asked, but Neon shook his head. ''Oh okay, well still thanks for your help.'' He said, as he did Neon then left and continued venturing around the city. As he kept going, it started to rain a bit and so he looked for some place to get out of the rain. He saw some type of tea shop, and had went in for it barely had anyone in there. For the only ones in there was a red fox with a very long tail, a light brown fox sitting across from the red fox and one or two humans. Then one of the employees walks over to him for she was a pink and blue deer.
''Hi, can I help you?'' She asked, he then pointed at a ham sandwich with fries. ''Okay, anything to drink?'' She asked, he then pointed to the Cinnamon tea. ''Okay, i'll be back with your order soon.'' She said and left, as she did he then looked outside and the city and wondered what this place was. After waiting for seven minutes, the waitress came back with his food. ''Here ya good, oh and here are some napkins. Oh, and i'd recommend blowing the tea a bit, machine has been acting up and makes the tea a bit too hot, anyways enjoy.'' She said and then left. As she did, he then went into his backpack and got out a ten and a hundred dollar bill since his total was 8.35, that and he wanted to give a tip. Half an hour later, he finished his food, left the money and left. When he left, he heard something in an alleyway and saw that someone was getting beat up by three guys. He then saw a silver and black 43x 9mm, he then checked the magazine and saw all 10 rounds.
''Try to kill my son, after all we've done for your family?'' He asked, as he did the other two gang members pick up the guy.
''(Coughs blood), h-he killed o-'' He was saying but got punched in the face.
''I know what he did, and i'll make sure he's punished for it. But that's not y-'' He was saying but got shot in the head, and so did the other two gang members. The guy then fell to the ground with blood on his face, he looked around and saw Neon with the gun. He was shocked by this and slowly tried to get up, but fell due to his leg bleeding out. Neon then ran over and helped him sit up to the wall. He saw it was a skinny man pale skin, four yellow snake eyes, wearing a long sleeve black shirt, yellow overalls, a yellow bow tie, black and yellow hair, and yellow pants.
''T-Thanks, you may wanna get rid of that.'' He said, as he did Neon used his shirt to wipe the finger prints and put the gun in one of the gang members coat. The man then put some gloves on and puts the bodies in trash bags and threw them in his car. ''C-come on, it ain't safe here.'' He said, Neon then saw a knife on the ground and picked it up, he then got his backpack, puts it in there and followed him. They then got into a classic looking car and drove off. ''W-Where are your parents, or anyone watching you?'' He asked him. Neon didn't say anything or do anything. ''(Sigh), fine.'' He said, as he did he then made a phone call, but it went to voicemail. ''Hey, the Earls are taken care of.'' He said, he then looks over at Neon. ''(Sigh), we need to talk. There's this child, he saved me from the Earls and took them out for me, when you get this message call me.'' He said and hung up, as he did he then drove into a dirt road and stopped. He then got out of the car and got the bags from the trunk, as he did he then went into the forest, poured concrete in the bags and threw two of them in the river. He then heard his phone ringing, but was a bit hesitated but answered. ''Lets let him live with us for a few days, and that's it. We can't let him go, and i'm not killing him. Look, maybe he can help us, we can train him and he can help us with jobs. No, we probably don't need to teach him how to shoot, he's a hell of a shot. Head shots from a 20 feet away with a 43x, yeah he wiped the gun and put it in Samuel's coat. Fine, but whose gonna teach him?'' He asked. ''Sure, i guess Salem can.'' He said, he then waited for a reply, as he did we see that Neon was listening close by. ''Okay, just a few days and if your not impressed you can kill him. Alright, bye.'' He said, he then got the last bag and did the same thing like the other two. Afterwards, he then went back to the car and got in. He then started the car and turned it around and got back on the road, as he did he turned left and kept driving. ''So do you talk or are you just this quiet?'' He asked him, but Neon got out some paper and a pencil and wrote on it. He then showed him and it says I'm this quiet and puts it away. ''Okay, well my name is Ribbon, you'll be living with me, (Sigh) my brother, and a few others for a few days. He's not happy about it at all, but...yeah there's no upside to this for him. Anyways, what's your name?'' He asked him, Neon then got a piece of paper and wrote his name on it. ''Neon Knight, huh, interesting. Anyways, my older brother is a stubborn dipsh*t and takes no sh*t from anyone, so try not to make him mad or do anything stupid, cause he'll kill you. I don't know how, but he will. If not, then he'll have me do it.'' He said, as he did they drove up to a gate. He then got out, put a code in a keypad and the gate opened. He then got back in the car and drove up to the mansion, it was pretty big but not huge or anything. He then drove around the fountain and stopped at the entrance. ''(Sigh), i know I gasp a lot, sorry, these wounds and the headache are getting to me. Just a moment.'' He said, he then got some type of medicine. ''Got any water in that backpack?'' He asked, Neon then got him a water bottle. ''Thanks.'' He then got the water, took the pills and drank some water. ''It's for the headache and the one i'm about to get.'' He said, he then got out of the car and went to the door, unlocked it and went in. Neon then looked through the glass of the door and saw Ribbon talking to someone, he couldn't tell what they were talking about but could tell by how loud they somewhat were.
1 Hour later
We see that Neon was drawing on one of the pieces of paper, for he was drawing the city. But, he heard the door open and puts the paper and pencil away. He looks over and sees that it was Ribbon, as he did Ribbon then opens the door.
Ribbon-''Welcome home, for a few days at least.'' He said. Neon then got out of the car and walks next to Ribbon towards the door. ''I'm glad I took those pills, would've gotten a way worse headache.'' He said, as he did he then opens the door and sees the inside, for it was pretty big, the walls and floor had a mix of wood, marble and Walnut. There were some antiques, paintings, and somewhat a lot of space. ''Okay, so-'' He was saying, but stopped when a door opened as someone walked over to them. ''So this is-'' He was saying, but the man stops him and hands him a key.
''His room is the 3rd guest room upstairs to the right, and his test starts tonight at 11:30pm. He's your responsibility, and just one mistake and it'll be his a*s and yours.'' He said plainly, as he did he then turns around, walks away back to his office and closes the door.
Ribbon-''That was Castello, he's not really happy at the moment. Actually, i'm not so sure anymore. But anyways, the room he said you'd be in has a bathroom, closet, a TV and emergency exit in case something happens.'' He said, he then took Neon to his room. A minute later, they get to the guest room and gives Neon a key. ''Alright here's your room key, get cleaned up, don't break anything and stay away from Castello for awhile.'' He said, as he did he then leaves. Neon then goes into the room, when he did he sees that it's a pretty nice room. A cream silk bed and sheets, grey and like brown walls, a dresser, and pretty much everything Castello said. He then puts his backpack in the dresser and goes to the bathroom.
30 minutes later
We see that Neon had gotten out of the shower a couple minutes ago, that and was wearing some new clothes. He was wearing a white T-shirt, and some blue jean shorts. He then hears some talking outside his room, and decided to listen in on it. He slowly opens the door and sees Ribbon and Castello with someone.
Ribbon-''Yes, you wanted to test him, this'll be his chance.'' He said, as he did another person looked over at Castello.
''It's your call.'' She said.
Castello-''Salem, take him to the range room. I'll consider it after seeing his progress.'' He said, she then went towards the room and knocked on the door.
Salem-''(Sigh), Neon, open the door.'' She said, she was a very skinny black cat with a bright yellow stomach, one bright yellow eye with a three bright yellow waning crescent like scars next to her eye, a black and yellow scarf, a black and yellow fedora with a cat symbol and tape binding on the middle of her tail. Neon then opened the door, ''Follow me, Castello wants you to practice using a gun.'' She said, he then got his room key and followed her, but he locked the door behind him. He turned around and saw Ribbon talking to Castello some more. However, he saw that Castello looked at him with...well, he didn't know, maybe curiosity, hatred, anger, or anything, he couldn't tell. He then puts the key away and follows Salem. A few minutes later, Neon and Salem get to the range room. Salem then gets a key from a draw and gets a black and grey Glock 17 (Full) Gen 5, she then loads it with a 9mm Luger with 17 rounds. ''Before I get to the basics, put these ear muffs and glasses on.'' She said giving him the protective gear and he puts them on. ''i'm gonna set up five targets for you, you need to shoot the targets as best as you can.'' She said, she then turns the firing pin channel block on. ''Okay, aim for target 1, focus and shoot.'' She said, she then starts the targets. She then makes sure that everything on him was secure especially the Glock. ''This is not a toy and can kill you, always be cautious of it whether it's loaded or not. You can tell by the weight, and if you're unsure, and this is for Glocks only, there are three safety mechanisms engaged at the same time when you're not using it. The trigger bar, firing pin lug and the firing pin channel block. What I turned on was the firing pin channel block, that way if you drop it it won't drop-fire or fire in any other way than you pulling the trigger.'' She explained. ''Now, the trigger bar here is attached to the trigger hinge, what it does is that it extends rearward from the trigger guard. That and it blocks the firing pin lug on the underside of the firing pin. Last one if the firing pin lug, it extends into the firing pin channel here and does this at a slightly offset like angle, which blocks about half the channel. The block is the cylinder and is pretty much one-third of it is machined. While it's not being used, the block here extends into the firing pin channel and will block the firing pin.'' She explained. ''Okay, hold the gun like this, and focus on your target or targets.'' She said, as she did she showed him the right angles and ways to shoot. ''Okay, hit the targets as best as you can.'' She said. Neon then got the Glock and aimed for all targets, he focused on them and started shooting. He then turned on the firing pin channel block just in case, once he did he puts the gun down and backs away. Salem sees that he hit all five targets, she then got the Glock and checked it to see 12 rounds left in it. ''Okay, i'm gonna set up ten targets this time, and they'll be moving. You need to focus and predict where they're gonna go, follow them and shoot inches ahead of them. That way, the bullets will hit them, instead of missing by inches. Do you want me to show you how?'' She asked him, as she did he then nodded. ''Okay, stand back and watch carefully.'' She said, as she did she then puts some earmuffs and glasses on. She then starts the target and watches them carefully, she then shoots all ten targets and stops the targets. She then turns the safety on, and puts the Glock down. As she did, she then sets up ten more targets, afterwards she reloads the Glock and checks it one more time. ''When there are multiple targets coming at you, or hiding behind cover, always shoot the ones closest to you and to shoot the ones further back last. That way, it'll save you the trouble of worrying about getting shot up close.'' She said, she then gives him the Glock and starts the targets. Neon then waits and aims, but focuses on where the targets are going, that and where they could go. He then shoots all nine targets, he then focuses on the last one which is moving a bit more. He then predicts where the target is going and shoots it dead center. Neon then checks the clip, and sees he has seven rounds left. He then puts the gun down, as he did Salem walks over to him and helps him take the gear off. ''Neon, your not from here, are you?'' She asked him. He then looks at her and shakes his head a bit. ''How did you get in here?'' She asked. He didn't say anything, for he looks at her and walks away but she follows him. A few minutes later, he gets to his room and unlocks the door. He then gets his backpack and gets out some paper and a pencil, as he did Salem walks in and sits down next to him on his bed. After a few minutes, he then shows her what he wrote and drew. She then reads the writing and looks at the pictures, as she keeps reading Neon then puts the rest of the paper away. As he did, Salem then gives him back the paper. ''Where did you come from?'' She asked him. He then writes down where he came from and shows her. ''What about your parents, any family?'' She asked, he then wrote down I don't know. ''Who taught you how to shoot so well?'' She asked, he then points to her. ''Okay, before me.'' She said, he then writes something on the back of the paper and shows her. ''Okay, one more question, how do you feel?'' She asked him. Neon then gets the paper and pencil, but he doesn't write anything. He puts it away in his backpack, as he did he then closes it and looks over at her. He then gets close to her and whispers something in her left ear. He then moves away, gets off the bed and puts his backpack away. He then gets back onto the bed, but this time he gets under the covers. Salem then got up and left the room, but she looks back at him for a little bit and leaves. As she did, Neon then gets up and leaves the room. He then sees Salem talking to Castello and then they both go into some room. He then walks close by and listens in.
''If he's going to stay here, even for a few days I want to know what he's capable of.''
''Then let him show you in the range, this'll get him killed.''
''You know the plan, he'll be alright. Besides if he gets killed, that's his fault.''
''Ribbon is the one that suggested this, and you're going along with it.''
''He needs to prove himself, just like you, me and everyone else did.''
''...I had nothing, you know that.''
''I know what I said, but if he wants to live under my roof, he h-''
''Even for a few days? he'll already be gone by then-''
''You know what I meant.''
''...you saw us, didn't you?''
''...''
''Then why does he need to go?''
''I want to see what he can do in the heat of the moment.''
''He already killed Ronnie, Drake and Tony.''
''I wasn't there, i was here waiting on Ribbon. Besides, Ribbon said they weren't even focused on him and even then he just brought a witness who got three lucky shots.''
''That's still more than enough blood on his hands.''
''Okay, why do you care, you don't know him?''
''Because I actually talked to him, literally just two minutes and I already know at least some things about him.''
''Some things huh? (Sigh), you can pretend to be a child psychologist and talk to him for hours, it'll all just be pointless. You shouldn't give a rats a"s about him, who knows, he could get you or me killed at anytime. He's going and you're not changing my mind, understood.''
''...understood.''
''...(Sigh), look, i'll talk to you about this later today, i need to check in on the rest of the Johnson's. Take him back to the range.''
Salem then nods and leaves the room, she then went back to Neon's room and knocked on the door.
Salem-''Neon, i want to talk to you.'' She said, a few seconds later the door opens. She then walks over to the table, pulls up a chair and sighs in frustration. ''Castello wants to test you. He's gonna have you kill a family member in order to see if you're any worth to him and the gang, did Ribbon say that you'd be staying for just a few days?'' She asked him, as she did he nodded. ''I'm gonna contact one of my brothers to get you a transporter, but i'm gonna have to take you to range again so he doesn't get suspicious, okay?'' She asked him and he nodded. ''Okay, but first are you hungry?'' She asked him, he shook him head. ''Alright, also i'm just going to show and teach you different types of firearms and a few melee weapons.'' She said. They both then left and went to the range again, when they did Salem went into a different direction and entered a code into the wall. Once she did, it opened showing a room filled with different machine guns, shotguns, bombs, cars and trucks, suits, armor, machines to manufacture weapons and many other things. ''The room we were in before was just a practice room, this is the range.'' She said, as she did Neon was fascinated with all of the different weapons. Salem then checked the time and saw it was 2:23pm. ''I'm gonna have to hurry up a little bit, but we should still have time.'' She said, as she did she then made a phone call. ''Hey, how are you? That's good, listen can find me a transporter, i have a child here that needs to get out of Safe Haven.'' She said. ''Castello will hunt him down, he saw how well he can handle a gun and wants to use him.'' She said. ''Okay, tell him to get to the Animal district on route 23 by 8:00pm. Stay safe.'' She said, as she did she then hung up. ''Alright, the test will be held at this fish market place. Once we get there, they'll be a deal going on in which a family known as the Fords are trading incendiary ammo for Frag ammo. Castello plans on a set up to take everything and make sure none of Fords survive, but he'll leave the youngest member alive for you to kill, but not with a gun.'' She said, as she did Neon looked at her worried. ''Once the deal starts, my brother will get you and take you to the Animal district. There a transporter will get you out of here, but we need to make it look like a kidnapping so he doesn't think it was me or my brothers. So, he'll take one of the Fords cars and take you there. Once we get there, one of my brothers who will be outside watching the building will drop you off to the transporter. I'll need to stay behind, that way he won't get suspicious of me.'' She said, as she did she then went over to get something. ''Okay, now the first one i'm gonna teach you about is the Steyr HS .50, it's a bit of a more experience weapon, but you'd get use to it.'' She said, as she did she then showed him how to use it. That including other weapons, well for however much time they had. After a couple more hours, Salem showed Neon different types of Melee weapons. From knives, daggers, brass knuckles, bats, swords, and others of course. She noticed that he was looking at some type of sword, she then walks over to him and kneels next to him. ''This is a 88BKW, its reinforced to withstand high and low temperatures, what do you like about it?'' She asked curious, but as usual he didn't say anything. She then hears the phone ring and walks over to it, she then picks up. ''What?'' She asked, she then listened to the person. ''Great, tell him i'll pay later tonight, thanks.'' She said and hung up. ''Okay, that's all for now. You need to get some sleep before tonight.'' She said, they then left the room and went back to his. Neon then got in bed and under the covers, as he did he lays down and Salem walks over and sits on the edge of the bed. ''Neon, i need you to promise me something, okay?'' She asked, he then sat up and nodded. ''Promise me, that no matter what, never forget that you'll always have a choice. No matter how slim they are, good or bad, how promising or how to good to be true they are, you'll always have a choice.'' She said, he then nodded. He then looks over to the left side of the bed, and back at Salem. She then gets up from the bed, walks over to the other side and presses down on the pillow and bed a little. She then lays down, as she did Neon then lays down going to sleep. After a couple more minutes, Salem carefully gets up from the bed and looks through the draw and gets Neon's backpack. She then goes into her room, closes and locks the door, as she did she gets a knife and cuts lines in the left wall. She then pulls out a safe and puts a code in and it unlocks. What's inside is hundreds of thousands of dollars, a Beretta 92FS with ten clips, brass knuckles, a couple phones and IDs, passports, lists of numbers and contacts, a knife with some blood on it and a picture. She then gets one hundred thousand dollars and write a note, afterwards she then puts them in the backpack and closes it. She then locks the safe and puts it back in the wall, as she does she then moves her dresser in front of it. She then goes back to Neon's room and puts the backpack back in the draw. As she did, she then makes one more phone call.
11 hours later
11:23pm
Matterson's fish Market
We see that Castello and a couple of his gang were at the fish Market, as they were they saw a couple of cars had shown up and a couple of unknown creatures came out. As they did, Castello went over to Salem.
Castello-''Check on the child, tell him we'll need him in 20 minutes.'' He said to her.
Salem-''Alright, do you want me to stay with him?'' She asked.
Castello-''No, i need you here just in case. Send one of your brothers instead, we'll signal him to come in later.'' He said. She then nods and walks outside, as she did a rat was chewing on some random cords attached to something and started sparking a bit. Salem then ran towards one of the Fords cars furthest away from the building, as she did she then used a lock pick to unlock the car, as she did she got in and hot wired it. Afterwards, she then unlocks the driver and passenger doors and closes them. She then sees her brother with Neon.
Salem-''Thanks Danny, no matter what, get Neon to the extraction point.'' She said, as she did he nodded. As he did, she then looks over and kneels down to Neon with a list and a phone. ''Alright one more thing, these are contacts of some friends of mine outside Safe Haven in case you need a place to stay or anything, though this depends on where you are. Before you say anything to them, say Waxing crescent and they'll know that your friends with me.'' She said, as she did he then hugs her and this surprises her and Danny a bit. But, she then hugs him back at bit. ''Take care okay, remember, you'll know what to do.'' She said, as she did she then lets go and runs back to the building. Neon and Danny then get in the car, Danny checks the wires and starts it. As they did, Salem walks into the building and sees Castello greeting some of the Fords. She then walks over, however, her right ear twitches a bit and looks to her right. As she did, Danny then starts driving the car a bit slowly and drives away before driving a bit quicker. But as they did, an explosion could be heard in the background. As they did, Neon turns around and sees the fish market on fire. Danny stops the car and gets out seeing the building in flames, he then looked scared and looks back at Neon. He then looks back at the building, but he gets back in the car and kept driving. As he did, he saw some helicopters get to the fire but he noticed they were his gangs helicopters. As they kept driving, Neon then looks through his bag and sees hundred of thousands of dollars and a note from Salem. He then decides to read it later and closes his backpack, as he did he looks over and sees the city at night. He sees how beautiful and colorful the city was, as he did he noticed that they were on the same route he was on when he entered the city. A couple minutes later, the car stops for he sees a black car in front of them. Danny then opens the door and lets Neon out, as he did Neon then walks over to the car. He then looks back and sees that Danny starts turning around and drives away. Neon then looks at the city one last time, as he did he then opens the backseat door and gets in the car. As he did, he then closes the door.

11:36am
New York, NY/City National Bank Branch
We see someone exit the backseat of a black car, for the person was wearing a grey and dark grey suit, some black dress shoes, grey gloves and was carrying a black medal and aluminum brief case. He then passed by three construction workers working on some sides of the building, this includes the front windows. He then entered the building, as he did he went through a medal detector and the alarm sounded a bit. Security then checked him and saw nothing wrong but his ring as he then takes it off, but they then look through his brief case. However, they found nothing alarming but just papers, 2 small note books, 2 pens, his ID, a ruler, some used deodorant, a an aluminum water canteen, a sunglasses case, a package of nails, some erasers, pencils, a box of bubble gum, some doodled on paper, and some sunglasses. They then let him through, he then puts everything back in the brief case and walks over towards the main desk.
Receptionist lady-''Hi, my name is Cassie, how may I help you today?'' She asked, she was white, had autumn hair, blue eyes and was wearing a black and blue suit.
''Afternoon, it's nice to meet you. My name is Andrew and i'm here to make a new checking account.'' He said, he was white, had brown curly hair and beard, brown eyes, and a band-aid over his right cheek.
Cassie-''Alright, do you have any information on you?'' She asked.
Andrew-''Yep, just a quick moment.'' He said, he then unlocks his brief case and looks through it to try and find his ID. As he did, the three construction workers then move some large blanks of wood out of the way, and over the glass and kept working. As they did, Andrew then finds the info. ''Ah, here ya go.'' He said giving her his ID.
Cassie-''Okay, let me just check your account real quick. Also, that's a lot of stuff in there isn't it?'' She asked laughing a bit. As she did, he laughed with her.
Andrew-''Yeah, i like keeping my more prized stuff in here. Even my lucky canteen with hasn't failed on me in years, it's amazing though.'' He said.
Cassie-''Oh really, what makes it so lucky?'' She asked.
Andrew-''Well, this one time I was in Missouri to visit some people, it was out in the forest somewhere. Anyways, when I was on my way back home, the canteen fell out of the car somehow and I stopped to get it. Then, i found this lady out of nowhere who needed help, so I helped her and we're both friends to this day.'' He said.
Cassie-''Wow, well where is your friend now?'' She asked.
Andrew-''She lives in New Orleans, she likes the culture there.'' He said, as he did he looks over at the construction workers. ''So, what happened to the building?'' He asked curious.
Cassie-''We're just getting some improvements to the building that's all, there was also some vandalism a few days ago but the ones that did it never got caught.'' She said.
Andrew-''Shame on them, why even do that?'' He asked.
Cassie-''I know, its just really dumb and pointless. Though it did cost us in repairs and business. Also, the windows are a bit odd.'' She said.
Andrew-''How so?'' He asked.
Cassie-''When I was coming in today, i couldn't really hear anything from outside. Usually, i hear something from outside the entrance but nothing today.'' She said. ''Maybe I just gotta get use to them, i mean things change all the time right?'' She asked.
Andrew-''Yep, a-'' He was saying, but got a phone call. ''Just a moment.'' He said.
Cassie-''Okay, also I just got into your account.'' She said.
Andrew-''Awesome, hello?" He asked, as he did he nods. ''Okay, thank you, have a nice day.'' He said and hung up. ''My apologies, anyways my account.'' He said.
Cassie-''It's alright, also so I see that you've been a member for a year now and everything seems alright.'' She said.
Andrew-''Well, i changed my name because my original name was...well, i didn't like it and I checked and saw that my checking account had my original name. So, i just wanted to change it.'' He explained. ''Say, where are your water fountains?'' He asked. ''Oh, and can I call you in case of any errors, or if I want to make any returns or anything like that?'' He also asked.
Cassie-''They're next to the bathrooms, also here you go.'' She said, she then gives him her card.
Andrew-''Oh okay, thank you.'' He said. He then got his brief case and went to the bathroom, as he was walking towards it he sent a message. Once he did, he then went pass the bathroom.
On the roof
We see two construction workers checking the support beams, as they were, one of their phones ring and the guy checks it. As he looks at the message, the two construction workers then get down and get to the buildings power box. They then unlock it and shut down the power, as they did they then got their bags and went inside the building.
NYPD
We see an officer checking the alarm systems, as he was he gets a message from his phone. He then looks at it and shuts down the alarm systems at the City National Bank Branch. He then turns on some cameras and loops the footage, as he did he selected some from days ago and uses them. He also changes the date to make it look like today.
Back at the Bank
We then see the three construction workers outside for they get a phone call, once they did they then put the blanks of wood up against the building windows. They then move the covers off and turn the screens on. One of them then turns on the camera, and the screens show the inside as if nothing was happening. Back on the roof, we see the two construction workers. They open their bags and get out some bolt cutters, they then cut the wires and the support beams fall blocking the entrance. As they did, the pedestrians back away and run as traffic stops. As all this happened, the doors lock and no one could get in or out. The three construction workers then get into the building from the side, as they did a construction workers that was the officer arrives to try and clean up the mess but take their time. As this was happening, Andrew goes into the supply closet. He then gets out the water canteen and nails, as he did he gets the 2 notebooks. He then removes the wrap around the notebooks for it was a handle, he then puts the nails on the tip of the canteen and drips four holes in the concrete wall. After that, he removes that piece of the wall and gets some pieces out that he needed. He then lays them on the table, as he did he then puts everything else in the brief case on the shelf until nothing was in it. He then closes it and puts in a new code, when he does pieces of the brief case unlock and come apart. He then moves some pieces, switches some pieces and removed some. As he did, he gets a notification and checks his phone and sees messages saying ready from ten different people. He then puts everything together, but he then gets his ring and places it somewhere in the brief case. After a minute or two, he's done for the brief case was actually a M249 Saw machine gun. He then checks it and sees that it's working, as he did he then puts the strap on it and around his shoulder. He then texts everyone back Ready, set, go. He then puts his left hand in the wall and gets out two tranquilizer guns, he checks them and walks out the room. As he did, he then shoots all five security guards with the tranquilizer gun. As he did, they all fell to the ground unconscious and all the people start screaming and trying to run, but the construction workers then stop them threatening to shoot them.
Andrew-''Alright everybody calm down, get to the walls and sit down. Keep your hands up as my team mates tie them, if you feel sick, light headed or anything, let my team know at anytime and we'll help you. Take off any jackets, coats, suits and or sweaters. Also don't worry about your money, the bank is insured so your money isn't going anywhere. Now, i need a teller to take two of my team to the safe.'' He said, as he did they got the teller and went down to the safe. As they did, two cars drive up to different parts of the bank. One is across from the bank, while the other is parked in the underground parking lot of the building. After about 10 minutes, the construction workers come back with the teller for they got fifty-five million dollars in cash and gold bars. ''Alright, everyone line up at the entrance. When the doors unlock and the beam is cleared out, you all can leave. I'm sorry to all of you that had to go through this today, hopefully you all have a way better rest of the evening. I also wanna apologize to the employees, especially Cassie for she was pretty nice. Also are you alright and thanks for listening to my story and helping with my checking account, really appreciate it.'' He said.
Cassie-''I-I'm fine, and y-your welcome.'' She said nervously while avoiding eye contact.
Andrew-''Anyways, we'll be going now, again have a nice and better day everyone.'' He said, as he did he and the other construction workers then left. Andrew and two of the construction workers change outfits, as they did they then left the building and after getting pass a bunch of people, got in the car across the street. They then start driving and waited in traffic, as they did the other three then go into the underground parking lot and put the money in the car. They then get in and drive off too, as they did Andrew and the other talk for a bit. ''So, how do you guys think we did?'' He asked them.
Construction worker 1-''Awesome, did you see how I held those bastards up at gunpoint like that?'' He asked.
Construction worker 2-''Yeah, it was hilarious. How are Bobby, Dave and Drake?" He asked.
Driver-''They said that there're okay, just getting through traffic like we are.'' He said, he then got a phone call from someone. ''Hey An- what? Okay okay, i'm on my way.'' He said, he then changed direction and started driving a bit quickly.
Construction worker 1-''The fuck Chris?'' He asked.
Chris-''Annabelle said Lilly's contractions started a few minutes ago.'' He said.
Construction worker 1-''I thought you two said it'd be Monday?'' He asked.
Chris-''He did Tim, i don't know, maybe it was some glitch or something.'' He said. ''Andrew, can you call the ambulance just in case?'' He asked.
Andrew-''Sure thing, just give me a second.'' He said, as he did he then called the hospital. ''Nathan, call Drake and tell him and the others to meet at Chris's house.'' He said, as he did Drake then did. They then kept driving, as they did the other car had turned around and went on the same route.
5 hours later
3:44pm
We see that they arrive Chris's house, as they did Chris gets out and runs towards the house. As they did, Andrew got a text from someone.
Tim-''You think she's gonna be alright?" He asked.
Andrew-''I hope so, where are the others?'' He asked.
Tim-''I dunno, i'll call them just in case.'' He said, as he did Andrew then took out his tranquilizer gun.
Construction worker 2-''Hey Andrew, what are you doing with that thing?'' He asked.
Andrew-''Just checking it, it was a bit slow when I shot it.'' He said, but as he did he then shot both of them in the neck and they passed out. Andrew then drove the car into the garage, as he did he then parks and gets out. He then reloads and heads inside, as he did he saw Chris and Annabelle try to help calm down Lilly. As he did, he sees the second car pull up. As he did, he then leaves the house and walks over to them. ''Hey, put the money in the other car in the garage.'' He said, as he did three of them get out with the money and gold. While the driver stayed inside, Andrew shot him. He did he walks over to the other three and shoots them too. He then went inside and saw that Lilly was bleeding a bit, as he did he sees one more car show up. As it did, two then get out of the car. ''They're in the garage, the money is in the car.'' He said, as he did he checked and saw he only had three darts left. He then used one on the driver, and then used another on the officer. He then walks over to the other one. ''Hey Tayah, do you have any tranquilizer darts left?'' He asked them.
Tayah-''Yeah, why?'' She asked.
Andrew-''I hate having my guns empty, i dunno.'' He said, she then gave him five. As she did, he then shoots her too. He then goes inside and as he did the ambulance arrived too, he then went inside the house. ''Guys, the ambulance is here.'' He said, as he did the ambulance then knocked on the door. Andrew lets them in and they come and help Lilly, as they did Annabelle goes with them. He then walks outside and walks over to Lilly. ''You're gonna be alright Lilly, we'll meet you at the hospital.'' He said.
Annabelle-''Alright, see you guys soon.'' She said, as she did he then walks back to the house. However, he secretly puts a tracker on the ambulance truck as it drives away. He then walks back in the house and sees Chris packing up.
Chris-''Say Andrew, where are the others?'' He asked.
Andrew-''I asked them to take the money to the safe house, they'll meet up at the hospital.'' He said.
Chris-''Oh okay, though I do have a question thoug-'' He was saying, but as he did he felt tired and fell to the floor unconscious. Andrew then gets his phone out and calls someone.
Andrew-''The targets are all unconscious for three hours, where are you?'' He asked, as he did he then went to the garage. ''Alright, hurry up, i'll call your boss soon.'' He said, he then hangs up and gets all the money and gold and puts it all in the third car. He then gets in the car, but he looks back at the house. He then gets his phone out and calls someone again. ''Hey, i had to kill one of the crew members. Chris Townsend, alright.'' He said, as he did he hung up. He then went back in the house, as he did he then got Chris but cuffed him. He then got some of the money out of his car, he then puts it in the second car. Now that he has room, he puts Chris in the trunk next to some of the bags. He then locks the second cars trunk, he then walks back to his car and drives it towards the hospital.
3 hours and a couple minutes later
7:23pm
Presbyterian Queens Hospital
We see that Andrew and Annabelle were outside the waiting room, as he was holding some flowers and a card he got a text from someone saying We got them, money will be sent now, pleasure doing business. He then hears a phone ring for it was Annabelle's, she then gets her phone and answers.
Annabelle-''Hello? Hey Sarah, yeah we're at the hospital.'' She said, after a minute or two she hangs up. ''I'll be back, Lilly's mom said she needs to get picked up.'' She said, she then gets up with her coat.
Andrew-''Oh okay, tell her I said hi.'' He said.
Annabelle-''Sure.'' She said, as she did she goes into the elevator. A few minutes later, he then hears the door open.
Nurse-''Andrew, Lilly wants to see you.'' He said.
As he heard this, he then got up and went in the room. When he did, he saw Lilly holding two newborns. He then puts the flowers and card on a table, as he did he then carefully and quietly gets a chair and is next to her.
Lilly-''Hey Andrew, where's Chris?'' She asked.
Andrew-''He said that he's on his way now, so what are these little ones names?'' He asked.
Lilly-''The boy is Josh and the girl is Amber.'' She said.
Andrew-''Congratulations.'' He said.
Lilly-''Thank you.'' She said.
Andrew-''Listen, this is gonna be heartbreaking to hear, so if you want I can put them in a crib before I tell you what I need to.'' He said.
Lilly-''Oh, okay.'' She said, she then gives him Josh and Amber. ''So what do you need to tell me?'' She asked.
Andrew-''Your friends Bobby, Dave, Drake, Tim, Nathan, Tayah, Ross, Candice and Hannah are bank robbers and your husband was involved too.'' He said, as he did Lilly was shocked by this. ''I'm an undercover operative of the NYPD, and we've been investigating them for a few months now.'' He said.
Lilly-''...I...Chris...oh god.'' She said, as she did she started tearing up.
Andrew-''I'm really sorry Lilly, but Chris isn't quite with them for he was kidnapped and threaten to be with them. Or else they'd kill you and your children, so he didn't have a choice. But, i do have him and I wanna help you both. When you and your children are given the okay to leave, Chris will be with you. I'll put you all in witness protection and give you money to help you and your family.'' He said.
Lilly-''...Okay, thank you so much, can I see Chris?'' She asked, he then looks at his phone and noticed that Chris's heart rate was starting to speed up a bit.
Andrew-''In a moment.'' He said.
Lilly-''Wait, what about Annabelle?" She asked.
Andrew-''She'll be with you too, along with any family and friends. Now, i'll be right back.'' He said. He then left the room, as he did he then goes down an elevator to the main lobby. He then gets out and sees Chris sitting in one of the chairs, he then walks over and wakes him up. ''Chris, i need to talk to you outside.'' He said, as he did he then helps Chris stand up and walk outside the hospital. ''Okay, you, Lilly and both of your families are gonna go on vacation for a couple months. You can move to either Missouri, Washington, Oregon, or Ohio. I'll give you 10.5 million, now i'll have to talk to both of you about where you'll be moving too and what city depending on the state. Of course you'd have to check the home values and all that. But after all of this you, Lilly and both of your friends and families need to get out of New York and get to which ever state you decide to go to as soon as possible. Get rid of all contacts with that crew, and good luck.'' He said, they then went back to Lilly's room and when they did Chris and Lilly both hugged and Chris got to meet his kids. ''Okay, so which state sounds best?'' He asked.
Chris-''Missouri sounds best, and thank you for everything.'' He said.
Andrew-''No problem, though sorry for shooting you with a dart.'' He said.
Chris-''Oh...well it's alright.'' He said.
Andrew-''Yep, anyways I gotta get back to the station, the money should be sent soon and some officers will come here to speak with you both.'' He said.
Lilly-''Wait Andrew, did any of the time you've spend with us mean anything?'' She asked.
Andrew-''Yes, it did. Anyways, i hope the best for all of you.'' He said, as he did he then left. He then passes by a couple officers entering the room, as he did he then sees them talking to Lilly and Chris. He then heads towards the elevator and heads to the main lobby. When he gets there, he then leaves the building, gets in his car and drives away. An hour later, he gets back to the houses and sees that everything looks fine. He then opens the garage and sees that all the crew are gone, he then unlocks the trunk and sees the money he left there. He then gets it and puts it all back in his car, as he did he then gets in the car and checks his phone. He then goes to Chris and Lilly's joined bank account and sends them the 10.5 million and has the WITSEC arrive at the hospital. He then sees a message sent and sees that he got paid 90 million from someone. He then text them back Calling you back soon. He then drives back to the bank with the money, though he decided to use a different route this time. A few hours later, he sees the bank was surrounded by cops. He then gets out of the car and gets Cassie's card out, as he did he then calls her. ''Hello, if you get this message, the money and gold is in a silver car parked on West 44th street with a smiley face sticker on the windshield.'' He said, he then hung up. He then leaves the keys in the car, gets a piece of paper and draws a smiley face on it. He then gets some tape and sticks it onto the windshield from the inside, as he did he then leaves the car and walks away. He then keeps walking, but stops near a blue car and gets in it. He then starts it and drives away from the bank, as he did he then parks in a alley and makes one more phone call for now. But, before he did this he takes something off his throat for it was a voice modulator and gets a knife out. He then cuts carefully around his shoulders and puts the knife away, as he did he then pulls on his hair for we then see that it was Neon Knight. He then puts the mask in the glove compartment and makes the phone call.
NK-''Hey, so do you have the robbers?'' He asked in his normal voice.
Somewhere, i don't really know, outside New York City.
We see a factory with a few fake police cars outside of it, on the inside are the crew members tied up and gagged screaming for help.
''Yes, we got them. I must say Neon Knight, you have a pretty high price. But, if you want the best results you pay for the best right?''
''Yep, sorry I couldn't get the last one, he was being difficult.''
''Understood, you know, my men and I wonder why you call yourself this Neon Knight. Is that your real name, or just a type of code name?''
''Sorry, can't reveal anything like that to clients. So, what are you gonna do with them?''
''Make them tell everything I want to know, of course they will rat you out.''
''Anyways, i got another job coming up, so thank you for commissioning me. You know the waiting time right?''
''Yes, but do not worry, i think you have helped me with my one problem. Also, how long were you with crew?''
''Five to six months, but anyways, make sure to delete this number and have a nice night.''
''Oh, also I will and you too Mr. Neon Knight.''
The person then hangs up, as the person did the person walks over to the crew.
''So, which one of you are the leader?''
Tim-''I-It was Andrew, that motherfucker was our leade-Ah!'' He yelled in fear, but was hit in the stomach with a wooden bat.
''Sorry to burst bubble, and intestines, but Andrew no exists. He was just undercover, waiting for you pricks to make move and bring you to me and here you are.''
Tim-''(Coughs some blood), n-no...h-'' He was saying, but was interrupted again.
''Anyway, you'll tell me everything I want to know and maybe, just...just maybe, well I do not like to spoil. But I will give hint, okay?''
As the person said this, Tim nodded. The person then gets close to his ear and says.
''YA sozhgu vas vsekh medlenno.''
He then walks away and grabs something, as he does Tim and the other crew members that weren't still unconscious were screaming.
Back with NK
We see that Neon is writing down some numbers and listing off names, he then puts the notebook and pen away and takes off the suit and shoes. He then puts on a non-sleeve grey shirt with a bunch of black and light grey strips, some grey sweatpants with pockets, a black jacket, some socks and some grey house shoes. He then starts the car and puts it in reverse, as he did he then starts driving getting out of the city. He sees that police are nearly everywhere, but he just paid attention to the road. He then stops at a red light while people are going across a crosswalk, as they did he then gets out his personal phone and puts one earbud in his right ear. He then plays a certain song that likes while driving at night.
(Play ''Holding On''-by Gregory Porter)
He then puts his phone away, as he did he waited for the light as it then turns green. As it did, he then started driving, he then gets to the Brooklyn bridge and as he did he gets a phone call from his work phone. He then stops the music, gets the phone and answers.
NK-''Hello, code?'' He asked.
''12471.''
NK-''What's the job?'' He asked.
''My friend John is worried about getting kidnapped by this group of bikers, he says they've been following him for a few hours now, can you protect him and handle the bikers?''
NK-''Where's John located right now?'' He asked.
''He's with me and my friends.''
NK-''Do you have any info on the bikers, names, HQ, hideouts, favorite places to visit, home address, work address, or anything?'' He asked.
''They call themselves The Hero's, they go to their leaders house usually on Saturdays and Sundays at 7pm.''
NK-''Where is the house located?'' He asked.
''Findlay, Ohio. It's located on 1043 N Main street.'' He said.
NK-''How many bikers?'' He asked.
''Five.''
NK-''Does the leader have any family?'' He asked.
''Yes, his wife Morgan and three kids, Sophia, Zach and Micheal.''
NK-''Okay, last question, dead or alive?'' He asked.
''...Dead, also where are you?''
NK-''Leaving New York, at the moment. Anyways, the cost will be 50,576. However, i'll be busy then so i'll have to see if I can do the job or decline it and recommend you someone else. Also, payment is upfront and do you have any specific paying methods?'' He asked, as he did he then parks in a parking lot.
''Yes, i'll send them to you now.''
NK then sends the amount needed to be paid by the client and waits for a call back. After a couple minutes, he gets a call back from the same clients.
NK-''Okay it went through, before I end the call do you have any concerns, questions, more details or any issues at the moment?'' He asked.
''I have a question, what's with the extra 576?''
NK-''That's for the amount of time and miles it'll take for me to get there, plus traffic. But in general, for this job only, it'll be ten thousand a person so that's 50,000 total, then time to get there and that's eight hours and forty-six minutes and last would be the miles i'd have to drive to get there and that's 568 since i'm taking the I-80 W. So that's why, actually I may lower it since i'm driving so technically it won't be 568 miles.'' He explained.
''You just knew all of that?''
NK-''Looking up the locations and info, it's just math a bit of geography and the internet.'' He said.
''Huh, i guess math is fundamental right?''
NK-''I'll call you back in four hours.'' He said.
''Okay, thank you.''
NK-''Yep.'' He said, as he did he then hangs up. He then starts the car, but as he did he heard lightening again, he looks around but sees that it was just normal lightening. He then starts driving again as it starts raining a bit.
1 hour later
We see NK park the car near the apartment, he then gets out and walks over to it. A couple minutes later, he gets to his room and gets all his stuff. He then gets the keys and walks over to the landlord, who was asleep behind the desk. He then puts the keys near him with 1,000 dollars, a note on it and gets the lighter. Afterwards he walks outside with three boxes for they were filled with clothes, IDs, pictures and a burner phone the crew gave him, oh yeah and a gasoline can. He then puts them in a dumpster next to the building, as he did he then pours a little bit of gasoline in the dumpster and lights it with the lighter. He then closes the dumpster and walks away from it, as he did he then goes back to the car. He then looks up any places that sells fireworks, after a couple minutes he found some that were pretty cheap. He then starts driving again towards the store and later on would leave New York.
5:33am
West Salem, Ohio
We see that NK was in a motel for the night, he was in a twin bedded room. He was eating some walnuts, bananas and drinking some water. As he was, he looked through his contacts on his personal phone and saw one of them. He then clicked on the name.
''Hey, what's wrong and how have you been?''
NK-''Hey, did you notice that there's been a bit more lightening recently? Also I'm okay thanks, how about you?'' He asked h-
''No not really, though there have been some rainstorms just no lightening, why? That's good and i'm doing okay thanks.''
NK-''Oh okay, just asking since i've seen it a bit for the past couple days.'' He said.
''Huh, anyways glad your alright and i'm doing good thanks. I'm gonna be off for a couple days if you wanna come visit, that's if you're not busy.''
NK-''Thanks and that's great, also I got one more client so yeah i'll come visit.'' He said.
''Oh really, great, i'll be off for three days, well five if you count today and tomorrow.''
NK-''Hmm, yeah that counts.'' He said.
''It's great hearing from you again.''
NK-''Same, but yeah goodnight a-''
''(Laughs a bit), goodnight? Its almost sunrise here.''
NK-''True, i thought maybe you could get a few more minutes of sleep since I did wake you up. Also, sorry about that.'' He said.
''Nah i'm already up anyway, also don't feel bad, i get up this early anyway.''
NK-''Oh okay, so any plans for today?'' He asked curious.
''Exercise for a few hours, ride with the gang for a bit and maybe head to the ring for a few rounds with Abby.''
NK-''Sounds like a pretty productive day, well i'll shut up and let you get ready, talk to you later.'' He said.
''I'd say more fun and productive than just productive, but yeah talk to you later, goodnight NK.''
NK-''Goodnight.'' He said smiling a bit, as he did he then hung up. He then puts his phone away and looks at the plans. After looking over them for a few more minutes, he started to get pretty tired. He then puts the plans away and gets into one of the beds. As he did, he then checks his phone again and calls his current client.
''Hello?''
NK-''What does Morgan think about her husband?'' He asked.
''She wants nothing to do with him, she tried to run with the kids three times, but when he caught her the third time he threaten to kill one of their kids each time they'd try to run.''
NK-''Do you have Morgan's phone number?''
''Yes, thank you.''
NK then hung up and waited and got a message from the client with a number, he then puts on a voice modulator, calls the number and waited.
''Hello?''
NK-''Morgan Harrison, this is the West Salem Village Police Department, we've gotten word of your husband Brock threatening your children.'' He said in a southern woman's voice.
Morgan-''...Just a second.'' She said, she then got up slowly from bed and went outside and got in her car. She drove away from the house a couple feet away. ''Yes, please help us, we've tried to get away over and over but he keeps finding us.'' She said sobbing a bit.
NK-''Ma'am we can't get to you at the moment, but we'll be there later on in the day to take care of him and his crew members. I'll call you again and let me know when you and your kids are ready to leave. Also, when I do, pretend that you're talking to someone else.'' He said.
Morgan-''Okay and thank you, thank you so much. But, what do I tell him?" She asked.
NK-''Don't tell him anything, he'll just get suspicious. When you get the chance run, we'll handle everything.'' He said.
Morgan-''Okay, thank you so much.'' She said.
NK-''No problem, try to get some sleep okay?'' He asked her.
Morgan-''Okay, i'll try.'' She said, as she did she then hung up and cried a bit more. As she did, she said 'Thank you god' a couple times. She then wiped away her tears and drove to a grocery store. She then got some milk and went back to the house, as she did she then got out and went back inside. She then went to the kitchen and poured out the last of the milk and replaced it with the new one, just in case. She then decided to sleep on the couch that night, for she got a blanket from a closet and slept there for the whole night.
6:37pm
Findlay, Ohio /Nearby Douche bag leaders house
We see NK was a few feet away from the house, for he was gardening a house a couple minutes away from the target. He gets done and puts the tools away, as he did an elderly woman walks over and pays him.
Elderly woman whose in this one and only scene, maybe-''Thank you so much, sorry I called so late.'' She said.
NK-''No problem ma'am, have a great day.'' He said, she then paid him two hundred and a couple cents. She then went back inside, as she did he then went back to his car and waited a couple more minutes. He then got his phone out and made a phone call.
Inside Douche bag leaders house.
We see Morgan packing her things, she then gets a phone call and saw it was someone unknown. However, she knew who it was.
Morgan-''Hello?'' She asked. ''Hey mom, how are you doing?'' She asked while her husband was close by heading towards the garage.
NK-''Are you and your kids ready to go?'' He asked.
Morgan-''That's great, glad that your okay.'' She said, she then went outside in the backyard. ''Yes we're ready to leave, when are you guys going to come?'' She asked.
NK-''When you and your kids are gone and when the other three show up, hurry. Also, leave the kitchen door open so we can get a RC camera for evidence.'' He said.
Morgan-''Okay and I will, thank you so much.'' She said, as she did she then went back inside and in her room. She made sure everything was backed and got ready to leave. As she did, she then heard someone knock on the door. She then opened and saw that it was one of her kids. ''Sophia, are you Zach and Micheal ready?'' She asked her, as she did Sophia nodded. ''Okay, lets go.'' She said, as she did they got ready to leave without the husband noticing.
After a couple more minutes, the Douche bag leader then gets a call that his crew would be at the house soon. As he did, in secret Morgan and her kids then get out of the house through the kitchen. Morgan then leaves the door open a good amount for the RC monster truck, as she did they then get in her car and leave the house. As they did, NK then drives a bit closer to the house. A couple more minutes later, the rest of the crew show up and enter the house. He then gets out of the car, goes into his duffle bag and gets out an RC monster truck, he then gets a controller and starts driving the truck towards the house.
Inside the douche bag leaders house
We see that the gang were in the living room planning the kidnapping. As they were, the monster truck then see them and listens in on them.
Douche bag leader-''When we get to John's house, make sure to take out everyone else.'' He said.
Second guy-''What about the cops, wouldn't you have a plan for them?'' He asked.
Third guy-''Why not just kill some of them and leave like one or two alive?'' He asked.
Fourth guy-''No, we're not going to do that to the boss. Especially not after my sister.'' He said.
Second guy-''What about your sister?'' He asked.
Fourth guy-''You don't wanna know.'' He asked.
Second guy-''Aww common, might as well since you mentioned her.'' He said.
Fourth guy-''Fine, three years ago when she was five months pregnant with her first kid, this one guy named Jimmy drank all the milk except for a swallow left. My sister was really thirsty that day and he said there was enough, but when she found it she...she wasn't happy.'' He said.
Second guy-''What did she do?'' He asked a bit nervous.
Fourth guy-''She asked him not to do it again, but he did it again the next day. Then, she got a knife and cut all his skin off and made him soak in spoiled milk somewhere in New Mexico. He passed out and got eaten alive by crows and birds, and no one in my family ever wasted milk or did what Jimmy did ever again.'' He said.
Second guy-''Jesus, all of that because of milk?'' He asked.
Fourth guy-''She wanted her family to show respect, she got it the same day.'' He said.
Douche bag leader-''It was all in one day?'' He asked.
Fourth guy-''Three hours actually, 1 to skin Jimmy, another to drive out there and nearly a hour till he died.'' He said. ''But anyways, what about John?'' He asked.
Douche bag leader-''Simple, we follow him to his house, get him and kill most of the people in his h-''
Ding Dong!
As they heard the door ring, one of them was gonna open the door. But then the monster truck started moving closer to them. They then noticed it and saw it doing donuts for some reason.
Third guy-''Get that thing out of here!'' He said in which one of them went to get it, however it started spinning faster and faster. They all then started backing away from it, but as they did a device popped out and started shooting just them. Three of them were blown back to the wall dead with blood and a lot of bullet holes in them, i mean, a lot. The leader then got a gun and tried to shoot the monster truck but it drove away. As it did, it was starting to get harder for the leader to breath. As that happened, he started to hear loud sounds outside and smelt a bit of smoke.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong!
The leader saw all his crew dead, as he did he started hyperventilating and coughing up some blood. He then looked at his chest and saw that he got a few shots to the chest and one or two to his left arm. He then tried to get up, but couldn't for the pain slowly started coming. He then used the third Douche bag guy's body to help him get up and it worked, he then tried to use his phone but the signal was out and he just threw it at the wall.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong!
Douche bag leader-''Help, (coughs blood)!'' He screamed while holding his chest, as he desperately tried to stand up from and open the door. But when he opened it, he saw that it was NK. ''Please he-'' He was saying, but NK stabbed him in the neck with a garden knife. NK then slowly pushed the leader inside the house and closed the door, as he did the leader was choking on his own blood and fell to the floor dead. NK then got the control and had the monster truck come back with the device, he then got the monster truck and put it in his bag. He then checked outside and noticed that only a few people were looking around for the noise. As they did, he then moved the corpses into a different room and cleaned up most of the blood. Afterwards, he closes the curtains, locks the front door, went outside in the backyard and saw that he had a couple fireworks left. As he did, he heard knocking at the front door. He then runs over and passes the house and walks over to a few neighbors, some looked concerned and a few looked upset.
NK-''Afternoon everyone, something wrong?'' He asked them.
Random neighbor guy-''Why are you using fireworks?'' He asked.
NK-''Well, i've had them for awhile and I didn't want them to just never be used.'' He said.
Random neighbor woman-''You know that they're illegal right?'' She asked.
NK-''Oh, well sorry I didn't know that. We'll just get rid of them.'' He said.
Second random neighbor guy-''It's okay, just make sure not to use them again okay?" He asked him.
NK-''Thanks and sure thing.'' He said, as he did the somewhat crowd then left. As they did, he then went to the backyard and got the remaining fireworks he didn't use. He then puts them in his backpack, afterwards he then goes back into the house. He sees all four bodies, some of the furniture was a bit messed up and there was a little bit of blood left on the floor. He then looked through his bag and got four body bags, cleaning supplies and some needles and threads and got to work.
8:42pm
2 hours of cleanup later
We see that it was night time, and most of the neighborhood was either asleep, left for the night or other things I don't know. We then see NK with the last corpse and puts it in the trunk and closes it. He then goes back in the house, as he did he sees that it looks almost nothing happened. He then keeps the lights on and makes a phone call.
''Hello?"
NK-''The jobs done, thank you for commissioning me. I'll be taking a break for awhile, but i'll update when commissions are reopen. Before I end this, do you want to be added onto the wait list or was this just a one and done thing?'' He asked.
''One and done, again thank you for saving my friend. Oh and Morgan and her kids too.''
NK-''No problem, also okay. Do you want me to send a WITSEC link to you and or John?'' He asked.
''No, i think we'll be okay thanks. Though, can you send the link to Morgan just in case? Or is that not possible?''
NK-''Oh I can, you gave me her number so I can contact her and send it to her. Unless, you want to ask her if she wants the link and I can send it to you to give to her?'' He asked.
''Sure, i'll ask her as soon as possible.''
NK-''Okay, but if she doesn't want it just delete the link. Anyways, again thank you for commissioning me, remember to delete the number and have a nice night.'' He said.
''Thanks, you too.''
Neon then hung up, afterwards he then looked up any nearby farms and or fields. After a few minutes of searching, he found one that was a couple miles away. He then set the directions and started driving leaving the neighborhood, as he did he then stops the car for a moment. He then sends out an update that he was taking a break, but would be back soon. He then makes a phone call to someone.
NK-''Hey, I got four corpses. Ohio, Findlay and i'll send you the pickup spot. Alright, see you then.'' He said, he then hangs up and sends the location. He then puts his phone back on the dashboard and starts driving to the location.
2 hours of driving later
We see that Neon was next to a van that was getting rid of the corpses. A man then walks over to him and Neon pays him 40,000 in cash.
Cleanup man-''Pleasure doing business NK, so how long do you think you'll take a break for?" He asked.
NK-''Not sure, but i'll update when I do come back.'' He said, as he did he then shakes the guys hand.
Cleanup man-''Well, whenever you do come back, we'll be ready. Enjoy your break NK.'' He said, as he did him and his men get in the van and drive away. As they did, he then gets in the car and makes a phone cal-
(Lightening sounds)
Neon puts the phone and gets out of the car, he then looks around and sees the clouds and lava like lightening a couple yards away from him. As he did, he sees that more and more lightening start striking in some certain ahead. He then gets in the car and sees a bit of an explosion ahead, as he did the lightening starts going away. But, as he did, he noticed lightening starting to form again but somewhere further away. He then drives towards the first area that got hit, he then started driving on the grass to get there faster. As he got closer, he noticed that there was a bit of fire around the area. After a couple more minutes, he stops the car a couple yards away for the barn. He then gets a G19 with flashlight and laser sight, he then turns the headlights off and gets out of the car. He then gets closer to the barn hears voices inside the bar, as he did he then looks for an entrance. As Neon gets to the other side of the barn, the voices get louder and louder. He sees an entrance and enters the barn. He then sees a nine half bird and half skeleton like creatures and they were all different bright glowing colors. Some were holding machine guns while others were freaked out looking around the place, as they were Neon watched from the shadows.
Bird demon-''Boss, where the fuck are we?!'' He asked.
Bird boss-''How the fuck should I know, you two search the area and the rest of you watch this bastard.'' He said, as he did Neon saw who was tied up cover in a blanket and in chains. As he did, he saw the persons feet and recognized him. He then looks up and sees two lights still on, he then shoots both of them. As he did, the demons looked around the place with their guns ready. He then shoots all seven in the head. As he did, the last two come in the barn. They shoot all over the place but hit nothing.
Bird demon number eight-''Carefully dumbass, you could've shot me and the hostage!'' She yelled at him, but they both get shot in the head too. Neon then sees their bodies slowly disappear into nothing with just blood on the ground. He then runs towards the hostage and drags the hostage out of the barn, as he did he then quickly gets to his car. He then puts the hostage in the backseat on the floor, with its legs on the seats. He then gets in the drivers seat and starts the car, as he did he then drives away from the barn as it slowly starts to catch on fire. He then gets his phone out and sets a location to the motel, as he did he looks back at the hostage and back on the road. As he did, he then keeps driving.
11:55pm
Back at the Motel in West Salem
We see Neon was sitting on his bed, he looks over at the hostage who was laying on the other bed. He keeps looking at the hostage a bit oddly, whether in shock, disbelief or well most likely both. He then gets up from the bed and walks over to hostage, as he does he gets a knife and cuts the top part of the blanket and opens it. He's shocked and backs away a bit.
NK-''..Angel Dust.'' He said, he sees that Angel's hair and fur were a bit ruffled up, some blood dripping from his mouth and his suit was torn and had blood stains. Either his, some other demons blood, or a lot of other demons blood. He then gets his phone out and looks for a hardware store and a liquor store nearby, he finds one and as he did he started to hear a bit more lightening outside. He then covers Angel's head and puts him in the bathroom, as he did he then gets one of his tranquilizer guns and shoots Angel in the neck with a somewhat small dose. Neon then leaves the motel, he starts driving a bit fast towards the hardware store.
20 minutes later
We see Neon's back at the motel, he goes into his room and opens the bathroom to see Angel still there. He then gets a chair, a bottle of liquor and his phone and goes into the bathroom, he then closes the bathroom and sits in the chair. He then looks at Angel and notices him breathing a bit, he then looks at the bottle and places it on the floor next to him as he waits for Angel to wake up.

Hey, so this has been chapter 1. Took quite a bit, but i'm really glad to start posting chapters. Especially since it'll be summer soon, also something I wanted to address for those that wonder if NK is in the Zoophobia Universe, he isn't. When he got transported and is shown in New York, he's back in the real world/same world we are in. Basically, he got in the Zoophobia universe and got out. But anyways, thank you all for reading chapter 1. I can't wait to show you all what I have in store, see you in chapter 2.
