Chapter 3 - Crime Riddled Circus

Either the Police is incompetent as hell or the guards are really good drivers since I have seen zero police cars let alone heard any sirens, whichever or it doesn't matter since hits is greatly to my favor having a police shootout trying to capture come tweezers wouldn't be a good sight. There is about 5 mins before the show starts according to their website however I expect it to start earlier, we are about 10 mins away so I'm hoping its accurate otherwise the police are going be investigating a homicide and a group of 20 armed individuals who shot a man and stole 5 cars. 

While in this car having nothing to do but wait and pray to convenience, I thought of a few things first, Is this a comic book world or is it the MCU? if the latter I will cry tears of joy, if not I'm going to actually die of a heart attack, because I have this stupid system that will increase my my death chances, and I wouldn't put it past anybody to say this system was a farce and actually its a way for the SK to get into this dimension.

Whatever lets slide those thoughts down a slip and slide and worry about the now. There is zero chance the government doesn't take note about this incident just because of the 20 armed men. I have an idea; Alright, I'm not all-powerful nor am I the smartest so ill just leave it to professionals I'm sure the guards can hide from some security cameras, I mean they were former top tier soldiers.

[ 3 mins until trauma ]

Inside the police station calls were coming in like a wave, there was abrupt stops followed by continuous beeps. Inside a booth a man named Robert Robertson III was answering calls and directing emergency response accordingly, although he had a groggy look and had a horrible stubble he was proficient at his job dealing with the mental strain. Today should have been a normal day until he started to receive calls about 20 masked individuals shooting a man at a intersection and stealing five cars. Needless to say Robert Robertson III instantly called up officers and a paramedic, but somehow all officers were busy and those who could re-route were far from the scene and would get there long after the suspects left. Still Robertson was no slouch so he instantly brought it to the captain George Stacy.

"Captain there has been a large Grand theft and 1 person shot, and we don't have any officers close enough that can reroute and leave their current call!" He said with great emotion after slamming the door open. Captain Stacy was startled, and like a cat jumped from his chair and reached an impressive 1 second of air.

"WHAT!?" Captain Stacy would not be catching a break today. He asked some more questions before he decided to go out on patrol and chase the subjects to wherever they go and wait until reinforcements arrive before making contact. He sprinted out the station keys in hand. 

[Its showtime]

The lights were dim and cold air was pumping, a waft of popcorn and candies could be smelt across the room. The scarlet curtains were closed, and the audience was waiting in anticipation, the crowd was mostly made up of adults and elders, but every so often a kid could be seen in the crowd. Suddenly the lights went out except for 1 at the very center of the wooden stage. The ringmaster clad in green, adorned with black, and a magnificent hat paired with his mustache the length of a pencil walked up into the light and made his presence known. 

"Welcome to the wandering Circus, I hope you all enjoy what's coming as today we have a very special show." His voiced boomed across the room with a tone worthy of no man but him. The Ringmaster however was prepared in advanced and by the power of his hat all people in the circus were now in a trance. He put them in a trance were the most amazing show was happening to make it more realistic and as a safe guard he still made the members perform, however not as professionally anymore. He let the other circus members, who disagreed with his idea of hypnotizing people and robbing them of all their precious shines, do the stealing. Everything was great and performing smoothly he had robbed almost a quarter so far and it was getting to the second performance. 

The brothers were preparing to put on a show when one of them caught a glimpse of the tweezers. For a reason unknown to him he picked them up and put it in his pocket, and headed out to start his performance.

Once atop the trapeze the brothers started the performance. The glistening metal was reflecting off light, and the brothers were skillfully maneuvering the trapeze like they always have, yet one of them pulled out the tweezers and plucked 1 hair out as they were performing. 

The hair fell down, and refracted light. The audience wouldn't remember this part, but they would remember what came after. By this point the Ringmaster has robbed the entire crowd silly. The other brother noticed the unusual behavior of his younger brother.

"Hey, what are you doing" He asked with a whisper , No response.

"I asked you a question now answer, why are you plucking your hair out" He asked again with a louder voice and a harsher tone, No response.

The crowd was released from their trance and as if nothing happened they kept watching the show unaware of what was about to happen.

He fell, He looked as if he was ascending legs pulled down and one hand pulled behind his head. As he fell he had no thoughts other than pluck his eyes as he felt he couldn't pluck all his hairs and eyes would be good enough. He did a 180 in the air everything moving in slow motion he put the tweezers in front of his eyes and jabbed them in like a spear to flesh. Ruby red blood splashed out like faucet being turned on. Gravity brought the blood back up on to his face smearing his face and making him look like a bright red rose blooming in spring.

Screams of the damned broke through as he was but mere meters from the ground hand empty as the tweezers with his eyes attached landed in the crowd. Piercing screams would be lying, it was more akin to the sound of multiple sticks of dynamite exploding at small intervals. They had yet to notice the missing eyeball unless they were the bystander who now had they eye of yonder. The panicked woman was already under the spell of death when the tweezers landed on her lap. She panicked for only a moment before she squeezed the eye out from the tweezers, the slimy substance of the eyes now covered her hands as she threw the eye backwards hitting a kid confused as to why his parents were screaming. The woman waisted no time in plucking her hairs. The kid screamed so loud it drowned out the other adults and kids. When people saw it they fainted or threw up. The kids parents were blue and green like the earth. However people didn't spare a glance to the girl who threw the eye, that was currently plucking her raven hair.

 Some people called 911 as soon as it happened others were now unconscious from the shock. The older brother on the trapeze was mortified beyond belief his only other family was now dead, he was the one who convinced his brother to follow the Ringmaster and now he was lifeless, he was not paying attention to his act anymore. 

He slipped, he noticed as soon as his hands were unable to find a point to grab. he didn't fall as his brother did. An angel looses its wings in many ways, he lost his by agreeing with the Ringmaster. He plummeted those 3 stories like a meteor he had no time to acknowledge his death as upon impact his spine was bent like a winding river. Like god punished Cain for the murder of is brother, he was punished with death his final memories being of his brother dying due to greed.
