Chapter 2 - Times Calling

There wasnt much for me to do down here, since my phone was broken and I didn't have anything to entertain myself with down here.

so I slept, my body was slightly tired from using Stage 1 injection.

We use our enemies as our weapons.

"He should be waking up Special investigator" I sat up in my chair, "Would I be good to enter to interigate him, or could there be remenant effects of the drugs"

the Doctor tapped their pen against the tablet a few times "it may be possible, if you wanted the best outcome with 100% chance that their isn't any residual effects, come back in 12 hours"

I sighed, why was everyone wasting my time today "Alright" 

I stepped into the chessboard hallway and made my way to the elevator.

i want to shutdown the music, its so damn annoying, thankfully it didn't take long to get to the first floor.

i stepped out of the elevator, I felt cold air and the drops of rain hitting the ground outside "Hey, Special Investigator Samuel, we have some of the gear you requested."

I walked over and they had a phone, a black and white injector and a small selection of swords "Sir we can only let you choose one or two of the weapons." I nodded, "do we have any dual-wield capable weapons" she smiled and nodded, she grabbed the dagger and pressed something near the bottom and it split into two. "Never would have guessed"

she handed the daggers over to me "Enjoy your hunting. Sir" I smilled and nodded "thank you"

I was going home first, I needed some real sleep.

the keys to the car I left at the front desk, but my apartment was within walking distance so It wasn't too much of a hassle, I could get there faster if I went through some back roads.

I turned into a back ally, it seemed fine. just a few homeless.

and the smell of sewage, and death, and trash was thrown around everywhere.

i found the ladder that lead to my emergency exit, I jumped grabbing onto the lower rung before climbing up, the metal was cold and slick.

I found my apartment window and pulled it open, I should lock that.

I touched around for my light switch "Investigator" I looked around for whoever it was that said that "We... wont hurt.. you... TO Much" Their voice, as broken and fleshy as if their vocal coards were damaged, "Who are you" I felt something touch the back of my neck "We want our Toy Back"

This is a Vanta, how did they get in could they be from the 3rd city, why would they be here.

I performed a back flip, with the intention to kick them, I saw their twisted cut up, pack work, face.

they completely dodged my attack, they were fast too fast for a A rank, they had to be S rank or higher.

I hit the floor, this could be the end if I didn't call for backup. i reached for my phone.

a fleshy spike pierced my hand "I thou.. ght we understo..od each oth.er" I heard the squalching of flesh as more flesh spikes appeared from behind them, "AHHHHHHHHHh" they stabed one spike through each limb.

"Now tell me Little investigator where is Eno" I couldn't speak the pain was too much "SPEAK!" he yelled at me.

you know you never fully know how warm your blood, is until it coats most of your body "Useless, not even suitable meat, too much muscle"

BAM

I wouldn't make it, I was too far from any escape and half my body was stuck in a wall.

"Useless. useless. Useless. useless. Useless. useless" he was throwing my furniture around.

He Smashed through the window, I heard people screaming outside .. but I am useless, in this state.

I could barely move my arm, I needed to.

my phone was only a few feet away from me, I could warn Mirage maybe get some Agents out here to try and find Patch face.

i hit the floor and I didn't feel much, adrenaline would only last so long.

each movement sent jolts of pain. the wood floor felt cold probably how Deaths hug would feel.

The Phone felt heavy, but I didn't need much to warn them.

2 buttons the power and then the emergency button.

i managed to press them, "Hello this.." blood flowed into my mouth "there many be a Vanta on its way to HQ, Patch face"

I felt my eyes roleback, and then a comfort.
