The four of us had just walked into the station when a police officer came to meet us. I was wearing a black facemask which covered half my face from the nose down to my jaw, and so was Hollow Reaper.
"Can I help you Sirs?" the officer enquired unsuspiciously.
"Yes officer. My friend here is deaf and dumb. He was robbed on his way home from work. We're here to see the chief to make a personal complaint." Risky said as he palmed 1,000 notes on the officer's hand. The officer felt the notes and noticed it was a good sum. He grinned.
"Right this way gentlemen." He acted like a valet and guided us towards the chief's office.
"Sir. There are three gentlemen who wish to speak with you in private." The officer said as he poked his head into the office.
"Okay. Let them in if they're really important." his voice boomed from inside the office. The officer nodded and opened the door wide enough for us to go in. Then he saluted the chief and left.
"Take a seat and tell me how I may be of help to you." His face remained expressionless.
I took a seat and sat down, while Hollow Reaper and the others remained standing. I carefully and slowly took off my facemask.
"BLACK HEART!!" the chief exclaimed as his face went pale.
"Hello Chief." I said calmly, while the chief did his best to regain his calm despite his fast racing heartbeat.
"You have my family in this station. I am simply here to take my family back." I said while he kept mute.
"The thing here is, will you cooperate and peacefully hand over my family or do I have to kill you all and take them. It's left for you to decide." I said as I placed my hands on the desk while a smile played on my lips. Normally I would love to start a massacre, but I'm actually afraid of my family getting caught in a crossfire.
"If I don't bring out your family, you'll kill us all?" the chief asked calmly.
"That's right." I replied, not liking where this was going.
"And what if we decide to kill your family during the fight." the chief said with a smirk. He really deserves to be the chief of police. Exploiting mg weakness and using it against me. But I was already prepared for this kind of hostage situation. I simply smiled.
"Then won't that be a perfect excuse to kill your families as well? Hehehehe. Your daughter is eighteen years this year, I'm I right? My men likes them young." I said still smiling.
"You...!!" the chief almost blew his fuse, but he regained his composure as he realized the odds weren't in his favor. They never were.
"So what will it be chief? My family or yours." my evil grin never left my face. The chief gritted his teeth before letting out a defeated sigh.
"Corporal Johnson, please escort Black Heart's family to my office." he spoke through his walkie talkie.
"Okay Sir." the officer replied. Few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and a bulky dark officer came in, behind him were my siblings and parents.
"Big brother!"
"Max!"
My Mom and little sister exclaimed at the same time. Just before the officer could react, Hollow Reaper struck him from behind. He slumped and became still. My Mom and siblings shrieked while my father remained calm.
"Risky, Focus. Escort my family home." I then turned towards my parents.
"Mom, when you get home, pack only what you need, no more than that. You're all leaving the country tonight. There's an arranged private jet at the airport waiting for you."
"What about you? I am not going anywhere unless my son is coming with me." my Mom protested while my Father remained mute.
"I'm sorry Mom." I said and nodded towards Hollow Reaper. He threw two darts at my parents. It struck their neck and they fell limp, asleep. I turned towards my frightened siblings.
"Don't worry, they're only sleeping. I want you three to be good kids to Mom and Dad. And never you trust anyone apart from each other. When you spot a traitor or an enemy, stab first and ask questions later. But above all, strive to make Momma proud. We will never see each other again, but don't tell Mom this. Remember to train hard and fight harder. No one is to be trusted. I'm I clear?"
"Crystal clear big brother." they answered in unison. It made me happy I had early given them military drills a year ago.
"Risky, Focus. You can take them now. Hollow Reaper and I will clean up the loose ends." I said to the two boys.
"Boss. We will keep your family safe. We will protect them with our lives." Risky and Focus then hoisted my parents in their shoulders while my siblings followed behind them. We were all silent and watched them till they got into the black Range Rover we came in.
"What do you plan to do now. You can't escape the law. You should know this." The chief said. I merely smiled at his attempt to imbue fear into me.
"Who said I'm trying to escape?" I smirked.
"...?"
"Boss, we just got to your parents home, we'll be in leaving for the airport in about thirty minutes." Focus voice sounded over the airpod in my ear. My grin grew wider as I set my eyes on the Chief.
"Riddle me this Chief. How does a murderer steps up to a higher level?" I laughed.
"...(o_o)" he was so confused that I bust into laughter again. I felt proud of my villainous riddle and game. As a DC and Marvel hardcore fan, I have always loved the villains more than the heroes. And as such, my favorite villains were "The Riddler" and "The Joker".
"You can't do this!" the chief flared up in both fear and anger. He finally caught on the answer to the riddle.
"Oh I can." I said and grabbed his neck.
"You didn't think I was just gonna leave you, now did you?"
I didn't give him time to suffer, I just put more pressure and his neck snapped. He went limp. I tossed him aside, his lifeless body crashed against the wall. I turned to Hollow Reaper.
"Erik. I know you may not approve of what I am about to do now, but I assure you its absolutely necessary in order for me to awaken and unleash the true power of the demon wolf." I said looking at his masked face.
"Do not worry Father. I am with you to the very end." he assured me, and that brought a smile to my face.
"Let's turn these corrupt hypocrites to buttered flesh."
