Bump in the night (open)

[brody]

It was a dark night as Brody crouched on the rain drenched rooftop watching his target. Rain drops kept falling in his eye lashes obscuring his vision, which irritated him greatly he had to see if his target was alone or not. Normally Brody loved the rain, it would make sound to cover his foot steps when sneaking up on someone, as well as cool him down on hot days. But today was different, Brody was still burning hot, he could feel the rage pumping through his veins.

His target was Eddie, the Blades arms dealer. He would know where they are, the murders. Brody climbed down from the roof top, and looked back at Eddie who was in another building across the street. Eddie had his back away from the door, he was placing his swords up on a rack behind his counter. Brody walked in the front door, starring Eddie down. A bell attached above the door rang alerting Eddie to the fact someone came in his store.

“Hello, how may I help you to…” Eddie recognized Brody in an instant, as he stared into Brody’s piercing eyes. Eddie grabbed a short sword from behind him and leapt over his counter then landed on his feet.

He swung at Brody’s chest, but Brody leaned back so the blade missed his chest. Next Eddie swung at Brody’s face with panic in his eyes, but Brody just bent his neck back and watched the blade arc past his face. Brody then grabbed Eddie’s arm that was holding the blade and put his thumb on a pressure point on Eddie’s wrist making him release the blade. Then swiftly Brody hit Eddie’s Elbow with his palm and shatters Eddie’s bone. Eddie screamed, then Brody lets go of his arm as he watches Eddie fall to the ground. Brody picked up the blade and put it to Eddie’s throat.

“WHERE ARE THEY!” Brody screamed. Suddenly Brody noticed he had lost his cool, and he had not been as subtle as he had planned. He had seen a few people walking around at night, but he was not sure if anyone had heard him or not.

Ravian walked on to a street he knew well. He had been readying
himself to steal from an arms dealer for a week now right as he turned on to the street Ravian saw a man walk into his target store. "damn" Ravian thought "this might complicate things"
As he walked in he flinched at the door bell ringing.

He hadn't expected that and then as he looked around he saw something even worse
"WHERE ARE THEY" he heard and at the same time saw a man at the point of a sword. Ravian instantly looked around for the most expensive thing around and just as soon he found it. A jeweled sword fit for a king. He picked it up knowing it would sell for a good price and started running towards the door and stopped at the entrance and sighed. "I can't just leave that guy there" he thought and then turned around, took his scythe out of its place on his back and said "Drop the sword" he held his scythe with one arm wrapped around the pole and his other hand glowing with lightning. "or else"

Tears rain down Eddies face as he squirmed on the floor. Suddenly Brody heard the bell above the door ring behind him, his fear had been correct, some one had heard him. Brody spun around to see who had entered. Brody was surprised to find the man who had entered to be stealing a magnificent jeweled sword from one of the tables.

The man had long dreadlock hair, and Brody could tell he was a thief. Brody had watched many people from the shadows before and he could normally tell what people are like. For example he could tell this was not a bad man, bad men would have just run and left Eddie.

“Listen, I really gotta talk to Eddie over here for a couple of minutes. I appreciate what your trying to do, helping people is a great thing, but this is not one of the guys worth helping.” Brody said calmly, but Brody was pretty sure Eddie and Mr. Dreadlocks could hear his loud and racing heart beat, Brody had never been this nervous.

Ravian listened to the man talk and watched him carefully. he wasn't to happy that the guy tried to blow him off and tell him that the man with a sword at his neck deserved this. In his own humble opinion it took a lot for someone to deserve to die like this
"I think I'll still still supervise this conversation" He said "and what did this guy do that he is unworthy of getting help"


Ravian then looked at the mans hand and once again said "Also put down the sword before someone gets hurt, this is the last time I'll ask and I'm not going to leave. I don't care what he did everyone deserves a trial at the least."

The story in Ravian's head was slightly different however. It was something like
"What the hell am I doing! As far as i know this man is a serial killer or a gang/mobster and getting mixed up in criminal groups is very bad for my health"

Of course if this guy wasn't in a gang Ravian was actually slightly lucky. If anyone came after him looking for the sword he could pass the blame on to this guy and place him at the scene of the crime.
This worked both ways though if he killed the shop keeper and someone only placed Ravian at the scene he was in trouble. He decided to ask one thing to protect him self and figure out what to do.
"What are you planning to do with this sorry fellow?"

Brody listened to the man carefully; he didn’t want this turning into a fight. Brody glared at the man for a few seconds, tightening his grip on the sword as he did it.

“I’m not putting the sword down bud,” Brody said firmly,”but I will explain the situation.” Eddie then started to ramble about Brody being crazy, so Brody swiftly cut Eddie’s cheek to shut him up.

“This man has done nothing, other then sell weapons to a group of assassins. Some might find that a good enough reason to come and kill him, but I came because I need a few answers from him. This man knows where the people who killed my family are… the men who me and my family had become friends with… the men who had taught me every thing I knew!” Brody yelled with tears starting to run down his face.

“I came to ask him where the people who killed my family are, I am not going to kill the man, and I’m not leaving without my answers understand? Or are me, you, and your hair going to have a problem?” Brody’s face got much lightened up with his last comment, he didn’t mean it as a threat, but as a joke so they could understand each other.

Ravian wasn't happy about the man’s refusal to put down the sword and was about to take it from him when he cut Eddie but stopped short when Brody kept talking.

After listening to the whole story Ravian no longer saw a assassin but a man desperate for revenge. Although Ravian never liked revenge very much he felt sympathy for this guy. He had been through a lot and still hadn't given up. He could respect that.

By the time Brody had finished his story Ravian had made up his mind "I'll help you find them and help with any heartless problems" he said .

If Brody really didn't want Ravian along for the ride Ravian would leave for a while but just long enough to sell the sword he had just picked upthen he would follow Brody for a few hours just to make sure he didn't get killed by the heartless. Even though there weren't many heartless in the first district every once in a while a few would show up.

“Thanks…” Brody said with a sigh of relief. Eddie told Brody he didn’t know where the Blades had gone, the group Brody was hunting. He told Brody they had come to him and told them they were not going to do business with him anymore, he didn’t understand at the time but he now assumes its because the Blades knew Brody would go to Eddie for answers.

“No!” Brody yelled at the top of his lungs,” I didn’t come all this way to question a clueless guy, you have to know something else.” Eddie was about to talk, but then shut his mouth, Brody could tell he was keeping something from him. Brody kicked him in the side, then turned around to speak with Ravian.

“He is hiding something and he is not talking anymore, and I’m not a huge fan of torture , so do you got any bright ideas? By the way I didn’t get your name, mines Brody.”

Ravian had been daydreaming but was brought back to reality by Brody asking his name. Ravian didn't know if he should answer truthfully or lie because of this guy's ...questionable safety to know. After a few years of stories from the streets he knew to avoid big groups of criminals but this was to interesting to leave alone for him "you can call me rave" he said and smiled. He had tried to appear natural but there had been a small space between the question and Ravian's answer "As for me having a bright idea...that only happens when I'm trying to get away from something or REALLY need to find something. Ummmmmmm.....we could try looking for some kind of record of his sales or maybe he was planning on giving them some more weapons."

He paused as he had almost forgot where he was going with his sentence. One of the many dangers he faced when multi-tasking on large scales and being a.d.h.d . Like right now , completing this thought while following another idea in his head and watching a spider spin a web in the corner of the store. Ravian shook his head and focused on what he had been saying.

"So we could look for something you know....illeagalish. Do you know anything someone on the streets someone shouldnt have but might be in this guys storage? "

As Raviian thought this idea through he did see some flaws. Traps maybe on some of the material this guy sold or maybe one of this guys objects of value was a just a trap altogether.After several moments of silence he realized he was making Brody wait and started talking again.

"It may be hidden or booby trapped too so that idea would take a while. But thats all i got other than dangling this guy upside down over some heartless till he talks."
