"This is not a joke, put the gun down." said Hunter clenching his fist.
"Well it's for me to decide because I am the comedian here, right."
Said the man with the gun.
Hunter raised his hands with the surrendering gesture and said slowly,
"Look, I did not meant to kill your client, he did not had good intention, Winslow felt...,"
[the man with the gun cuts in]" I do not care, about the guy, he was going to die anyway, I knew he was not going to make us more, or wouldn't wanted us to make more money, it's one of these which is right ,or maybe not, maybe yes or may be nope he was not…,"
the man with the gun was confused and kept on repeating and Hunter who had raised his hands already indicating his gesture to surrender felt the gun touching his head and that it was little tilted to the right which meant gunman was using his right hand, hence Hunter used his left hand (which was the hand nearest to the gun) to grab the man with the gun's right hand and pointed the gun upwards away from the range where his head was the target.
Now it happened fast and the gunman was surprised, before he could react to what had happened. Hunter shifted backwards making his chair hit the gunman's gut, which made the gunman bend and his head was now resting at Hunter's shoulder, now while Hunter was still sitting he needed some momentum to make further progress but it can't be now because he was still on his feet (the gunman) so that Hunter would have the advantage of pinning him down and so it happened, shifting behind while sitting had made Hunter advantageous in the circumstance and due to some leg space there was chance of pinning gun man down with the help of his leg power, so hunter grabbed gunman's head which was resting on Hunter's shoulder (because of the hit to the gut), and then he stood lifting gunman with his left hand through shoulder and judo slammed him on the desk throwing him all the way from his back to now his front were he was writing, the throw broke the writing desk which made Hunter a bit sad.
The gunman now was unarmed and his face was visible, he was none other than Danny cash, which hunter already knew.
"How did you find me ?" asked hunter
"Is it really that hard to find you ?, aaah god damn you…. I think you broke my back!!!"
Replied Danny
"Shut up, it is just the shock that has made your sensors go to a state of being more triggering in a way, or to be exact made you more scared". Said hunter
He continued.
"Who told you to show a gun so openly, huh??, it's not like you were going to be able to use it on me anyway..."
Danny talks while laying on the broken table..
"Haah….haah…let me catch my breath first…..So the answer to your question..
I showed you the gun knowing it wouldn't work because
(putting his hands to his back pocket)
I had two guns to begin with."
He shoots the gun aiming at Hunter's shoulder and Danny was fast this time,
when Hunter was shot he realized that it was a tranquilizer dart.... and because of the location were it was shot the shoulder made it work faster, but he still tried to say...
"Why would you do tha...." last words before Hunter goes to sleep and hears Danny saying,
'I had to do it, for..." (words fade away as he is fully intoxicated by the dart)
Hunter was now sleeping, it was the best sleep he had in a while, he couldn't hear any thing, he couldn't see anything it was just him with his consciousness and sub consciousness at the same time , nothing was more important for him in the current moment, except the book, he couldn't think of anything but the book and it was in his mind the with same scenario playing in his head where he left the story...
.
.
.
Well let's focus to the story.
The battlefield was ready Harvey, Mardon, Louis had written their lies and were waiting for their turn while drinking. No one believed in the secret power of Kingsley except Hunter and his friends.
As soon as Mardon reached the table, my dad who was already sitting there saw the anger in Mardon's face and asked.
"Are you going to start Mardon??...."
Mardon nodded even after Knox restriction of chatting earlier...
A person from the crowd noticed this and was happily ready to ignite a little flame among the crowd as all of them were drunk and some just two pints away from being drunk a chaos was easy work so the unknown person (louis) shouted out loud..
"they are chatting like a little girls, is Mardon really that serious about our operation, this all is looking like a set up to me!!!!!!,"
following that Donald questioned Mardon's loyalty as well and said..
at this point can really trust that guy and started chanting
"CAN WE TRUST YOU MARDON"
Crowd started to raise question because of this unknown asshole and started shouting.....
"CANT TRUST MARDON!!!
CANT TRUST MARDON!!!
CANT TRUST MARDON!!! "
But Mardon was serious, ' he replied with putting a sacrificial knife on the table with a slam making all the crowd go quite. he continued with speaking....
"I understando
what yo means,
if this mano here is right, I will give him my right hando.
With the blessings of this sacrificial knife of me Mardon Philio a Undertaker will commit himself fullest to the Act of stopping the Cainesse (that's what he meant to say)." All of the crowd knew how strong feelings Mardon had for his work, being an undertaker is not easy and it is not supposed to be easy, and Mardon loosing his right hand meant to lose an Thorough Undertaker.
He was ready to behead himself, but he never spoke a word with the mob or any of the mobster. How he joined the Gang is really surprising to the Kingsley, he was sitting there surprised that even a Man like Mardon is being questioned at this point of time... he was confused of what was going on with this gang, this was hard for him to digest and then somebody in the crowd started crying, his voice was loud making every person in the crowd look for the guy who was making that irritating noise, people started to talk again saying things like
"Ah its this guy again, why does he drinks so much,"
"yeah he doesn't even have any sad life he just drinks and starts crying when high, doesn't even like try to stop drinking,"
'hey, Hunter throw him out, this guy is ruining everything "
"can someone shut him up"
..... it was Harvey, when he caught everyone's attention he said
"look at the man who buries people for living has so strooooong sense of believes and rules, hiccups*"
he tries to walk near Mardon but could not keep the track of him and walks near to Donald grabs his color washes all of his snot over him , and says
"why Oldman, wh *hiccups* whyyyyyyyy do you feel such a strong sense of h *hiccups* hatred towards people of Cain' whot... have they done to yo'(tries to imitate Mardon)"
Donald cuts him and says
"go away Harvey, your turn is next, ( he looks at some guys from his mob) hey guys give him some lemons calm him down he has to go for the next round. what the hell." he throws Harvey the Cryguy away to the guys he was talking to.
While this all was happening in the background Mardon and Kingsley had their eyes locked in they were not joking and they both accepted the deal, Kingsley did it out of respect because declining an offer right now was like looking down on the opponent,
hence Kingsley said.
"I have always respected and trusted you with everything, i will accept your request and will give you my head just like I said if I lost,"
after listening to all the chit chats from the mob that Knox brought he gets angry he stands on a table while showing his white undergarments which didn't hide anything and Announced
"Enough with the chitchats EVERYONE I don't want a SINGLE goddamn voice to be heard from all of you, this is the greatest WAR of INDIANABAY since the Brattish imperialism era and many more great wars which we sadly don't remember but surely are thankful for, A revolution of the future will be brought from the Bar which is best in the whole west, Mardon Please start."
The silence again took the foreground of the battle, this was not just an war of people, this was a war of people and their thoughts strong ideals, The bar now started to feel more heavy like its gravity has suddenly increased, everybody was standing trying to look what is going to happen, all eyes were at the fighters
Kingsley vs Mardon.
