The blood on Ace's fingers had already dried off. He was still holding the Cravenian but he wasn't able to feel it. Both of his hands were hanging loosely at his sides as he was staring blankly into the sun. It's light was slowly draining from the large, sky-piercing buildings of New York. He exhaled deeply and took a step back.
Looking over his shoulder he said - I'm sorry but you're not coming with me today.
Ace turned towards the door and, without a second glance back, stepped out and headed out of the building. A dark and incredibly slim figure slid from a corner that had been shrouded in darkness. Pulling the dark mist along with it the figure moved to the dead body in the middle of the room in a blink and swept it away.
Ace walked trough the dusty lobby. It had once been a busy area with people going in and out, attending to their business. Ace pushed the boarded door and stepped out into the street. It was early but there were still enough people for him to go unnoticed. He scanned the buildings around him for the large soft drink sign under which he had parked his car. There were multiple traffic tickets lying on the ground around the car.
- Did you really have to scare them? You know I could deal with a few parking tickets.
An enourmous hand slowly reached out for Ace's shoulder. A deep voice filled the dark SUV with laughter.
- It was way too much fun. I just couldn't help myself. You know how is.
- I'm glad that they didn't tow the thing.
- With me inside? I'd like to see them try.
Ace started the engine end pulled off from the curb and into the stream of cars.
- We're going to have to pay her a visit.
- I don't think she'll be pleased to see you..
- I'm not looking forward to it either. How about you punch me now so that it doesn't feel as painful later?
