Chapter 08: Time for action prt1.
Eiden couldn't help the smile that grew on his face when he heard his sister's words, because although she always complained about him, she was very affectionate and kind.
Picking up the plates from the table, he carried them into the kitchen and began to wash them. After cleaning the kitchen again he also went to his room to wait for the night to come.
To be able to put his plans into action, although it was not a good plan in itself. Since his only plan is to go hit them as quietly as possible and get out of there running as fast as he can without being shot or seen or caught by the police.
That would be the most ideal thing to do and the best plan of action I could follow if I want to do this in the safest way possible for me.
The best way to do it is simple, a detailed plan will not help me since I basically know nothing about those gangs or who is in charge of them.
The most likely one would be Kingpin, since he's the one in charge in this part of New York, but it may not be him since I'm only in the year 2000. If it's not Kingpin, it's probably someone who is working for the 'hand' since they were looking for something in hell's kitchen. In one episode I saw, I think it was Daredevil.
Letting his thoughts run wild for more than half an hour, he decided to go to sleep, which he didn't have too much trouble doing after a while since he needed to be in top shape for tonight.
.
....
After a while of sleeping he woke up slightly groggy with a little sleep still. Looking out the window he realized that it was already dark, so he got up and headed towards the bathroom.
After relieving himself in the bathroom he splashed some water on his face to get rid of the sleep and headed towards the living room where his sister was with her books.
"What are you doing, isn't the school year supposed to be basically over already."
Looking up from her books from whatever she was doing Isabella replied:
"This is not homework Eiden, it is something I am helping my science teacher with. You know to try to earn points with her for my future since she is very respected in that field."
"Haa okay, what a good plan to ensure a good job and salary in the future."
"I had a science teacher who hated me, every time I tried to answer a question I asked during class she spoke to me as if I were an idiot, even when I answered correctly."
"Yes, she is like that, but when you get to know her better she is a very kind woman, I have made a lot of progress in my studies thanks to her."
"Besides, Eiden, I've seen your grades from when you were in school, you weren't the smartest person in the world."
"Maybe you're right, but that doesn't justify him being like that with me."
"I wasn't the only one who treated her that way either, there were also other classmates in my class who she treated the same as me. I hope she gets fired."
"I go to the same high school that you went to, Eiden, and no, they didn't fire her, she still teaches classes there."
"She just had a lot of complaints from the students and she had to calm down a little, she's a little calmer now. According to what a second-year friend who was in her class before told me about the complaints she has now."
Isabella said, returning her gaze to her books and continuing with what Eiden assumed was her homework.
"Well, leaving the damn thing aside, I'm going to prepare something to eat. Do you want something or are you already full from what you ate this late?"
"I'm a little hungry and don't call my science teacher like I like her." Isabella replied, raising an eyebrow while only giving him a sideways glance.
Leaving the subject there, he entered the kitchen and began to prepare to heat up dinner and prepare something else to eat.
After a while he finished and sat down to eat with his sister at the table, after telling her that he will remove his books from the table.
"Eiden you told me you were going out tonight no, where are you going, did you get another job already or are you going to see one." Isabella asked, remembering what Eiden told her earlier that day.
"I did get a night job but I don't start until later at night."
"Hmm, what's the job you found?"
"It's not complicated, it's also a job that requires physical strength like the previous one but this one is at night."
Seeing that her brother was not going to tell her more, Isabella did not continue with the topic and continued eating calmly.
After finishing eating, he got up but not before telling his sister that "wash the dishes, I'm going to my room, I have to get ready for work."
"Go to bed early, I'll try to leave quietly so as not to disturb you while you're sleeping." Placing a kiss on his sister's forehead he headed to his room while closing the door behind him.
"Don't try so hard Eiden, it's okay if you rest a little." Isabella said and then put her head back in her books and continued doing work.
Before completely closing the door he heard his sister's voice behind him and he could only give her a smile. "Of course I will." As he finished closing the door behind him.
Closing the door behind him this time completely, he began to look for the things he needed which wasn't much, it was basically two things a mask made of cloth and some cheap gloves he bought at a pharmacy.
Putting the things in his pockets, he sat on the bed while he relaxed his mind for what he was about to do tonight since he needed to be as calm as possible. Waiting until it was almost midnight and his sister was asleep so he could leave quietly. Hearing with his heightened hearing that his younger sister was staying quiet in her room and thinking that she had already fallen asleep.
He checked his cell phone and seeing that it was almost midnight, he prepared to get going, putting his nerves under control that he had been ignoring all day, so that he could be focused on what he had proposed since he could not hesitate, no matter how nervous he was. .
Getting up from the bed he went out to the living room and grabbed a flashlight that was in a drawer and left the apartment as quietly as he could so as not to wake up his sister who was already sleeping.
Leaving the building he walked for a few blocks and then headed towards an alley that had a sewer that he had seen when he was walking in the afternoon and he began to put on his hood and gloves before entering, and then went into the sewers.
A smell of sewer reached his nasal passages that made him kneel, almost emptying his stomach right there.
After a while and resisting his urge to vomit, he stood up and began to jog towards the direction that he assumed was the first house where the small gang stayed that he looked at outside Hell's Kitchen out of the corner of his eye while walking that afternoon.
Holding his nose so that the smell of sewer wouldn't reach him as much, he stopped jogging and started running so he could get out of the sewers as quickly as he could.
After a few minutes of running at a constant pace and doing many laps through the sewers he came to the surface since if he wasn't mistaken they are basically on top of the place.
Coming out of the sewers, he looked around the clear street of Hell's Kitchen, cursing inwardly because he was a few blocks closer than he thought.
"Well, it's the first time I've done this, plus I could barely see what was under there, with that flashlight that barely gave me a little light to be able to see a little."
Knowing where he already was, he went back into the sewers and started moving. After a while he came out again and arrived at a suburban area that the gangs had dominated and here he barely saw the house of his target just a few meters away.
