Chapter 3: Delightful Day Gone Bad!

Julius was standing in front of an old wooden structure, "bang!Bang!Bang!" He banged ferociously on the feeble gate. "Who is that mannerless person? Are you on a quest to wreck my humble abode? Came a tired voice from within, seconds later, the door was pulled slightly open, an old wrinkled face popping out of the gap, after a good squint, she was able to recognize the offender, "oh so it's you who seek to demolish my structure? Tell me, are you finally here for my elixir for impotency?" She asked with a smug grin. Julius walked right past her into the house, putting for himself a cup of tea and making himself comfortable, after taking a sip, he whispered, making sure to mimic the old woman's tone of voice," listen up, your daughter has taken seed, the man you claimed impotent has impregnated your daughter!" Her jaw instantly dropped, enough for a fully fledged adult's clenched fist to fit in. "Bang!" Not waiting for her response, Julius had left immediately after dropping the bomb, the old lady hadn't even realized he had left, it was the bang from the door slamming shut that brought her back to reality. Julius had entered his car at this moment, feeling on top of the world after his performance. Eyes almost popping out and jaws almost reaching the floor, he was going to remember this look of the old woman for eternity! He revved the engine and speed right off again, wanting to reach his darling as soon as possible. He was so happy that he didn't immediately notice the unusually deserted road, it should have been jamming with traffic but for reasons unknown, there were fewer and fewer cars as he went on ahead. He took a turn and almost knocked down a middle aged woman who was running helter skelter from something unknown to him, whatever it was though, he admitted it was on the road in front of him and he didn't want any trouble so he resolved to reverse his car and take a much longer, yet doubtlessly safer route home. As if the trouble he was currently in wasn't enough, seven stupid drivers driving in oblivion to what is happening screeched to a halt behind him, he cursed and vented his frustration on the horn, blaring loudly for sometime and then, having no option, he got out and walking to the forefront of the traffic to see what's up ahead, fifty metres to the scene and he could espy the most unexpected scene in front of him, it was the last person he ever wished to cross paths with! Flynn Cross! He had always been hearing tales of the infamous Flynn and how he would occasionally appear out of the blue and descend unannounced, the next time, place and victim was a complete guesswork but Julius always thought the chances of he, meeting Mano a Mano with this maniacal killer was akin to finding a needle in a haystack! Sadly, that wasn't the case, although lady luck proved helpful since he wasn't the ultimate target, that was only a matter of time because only he knew what stupid idea was cooking in his mind! Looking at The eight metre tall titan who had his big burly hand wrapped around a lady's neck and seemed delighted as his victim was helpless against his herculean strength, he knew he was running out of time. Although Flynn could snap her neck in less than one tenth a nanosecond, he, for reasons best known to himself decided to opt for the slower, and more painful way. The weakling could only grab his burly hand tightly and throw useless kicks with her legs that hung ten inches off the ground. There was no time to think about all this, Julius knew he had to act fast, since from the look of things, the lady didn't even stand a snowflake's chance in hell against such a monster and she would doubtlessly die if he dilly dallied any longer. With such a strong personality, he was stunned only for a split second, after which he was quickly able to put himself back together and think rationally again. He looked around to see if there was anything as could do to help the poor lady in front of him. He quickly checked his surroundings and caught sight of a white Land Cruiser Prado right in front of the sea of cars just forty metres behind him and without thinking, he noiselessly tiptoed backwards to it, making sure not to alert the monster when in fact Flynn knew everything tht was going on in his mind, it would be absurd if someone with psychic powers wouldn't notice. Under full assumption that he had succeeded in not attracting the villain's attention, he got into the car and took a long, deep breath. He jammed on the car horn, stunning all those entranced by the brutal display in front of them back to reality. They backed off subconsciously wondering who was gutsy enough to try and challenge such a person, with skin that missiles explode against without leaving a scratch! Although every single on of them knew he had a death wish because this was only going to wind up his lifespan and draw death closer to him, they hoped that at least he could beat all the odds against him and create a miracle. It was unrealistic, almost stupid to have such thoughts but since a bad plan was better than no plan at all and this was their only life saving straw, they latched on to it with anticipation. Julius turned the key in the ignition and with a sigh, pushed the speed to the limit as the wheels revolved and the car gained kinetic energy, picking up breakneck speed as it went forward. Julius was incredibly worried as it was only now that the villain tilted his head to the side to see what was happening. That wasn't the reason for the pang of worry in Julius' heart however but the wolfish grin with which he turned, locking gazes with Julius as if there was no wind screen, it was then that Julius started feeling extreme fear. Flynn's gaze was disconcerting, it was as if he was staring directly into the depths of Julius' soul.
