"Yeah, thanks. How much do I owe ya?"
"Are you kidding? I got to ride with a celeb in my busted down cab. I should be paying you! It's free."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Alright then,I guess I just have to add a meal to what I already owe you then."
"What? Why?"
"I don't like owing people, that's all."
Stu looked at Landon and nodded as he exited the cab.
"Goodluck saving your friend from whatever he's going through."
"Thanks."
Landon said, nodding back at him. Alex moved into an Abandoned building just at the end of town. It was warn down,the perfect places to do shady business and Landon knew this. Alex walked past the first door,it was guarded by two massive Mexicans with each of them having a gun in hand.
(Good,just my luck.)
Alex thought to himself as they began to search him. Landon who peeked noticed something, their badge was that of a half broken Golden skull with a horn sticking out.
(What the hell is Alex doing with Them? Why the is 'El Diablo's de Oro' doing here?)
Meanwhile, Alex had moved further into the building. Until he slowly reached a 6'0 tall Latino man which black air and a ponytail.
"Alex...Amigo,it's been a minute."
"Fernandez. It has been."
"Amalia tells me you're here for the white magic, here it is."
Fernandez tosses the bag at him.
"That's 40 kilos of white magic in there. You can count it if you don't believe me."
Alex picked up the bag before speaking.
"Nah, we good."
"You're still not good at this. If I was somebody else I would've taken out about 5 bricks and kept them for my self considering that you never count it to double check."
"Then you would have to deal with Amalia and the rest of the DeLuca family. And well,you know they don't play around."
Fernandez burst into laughter after hearing this.
"My,my. Amila's pet grew some cajones, color me surprised. That's good, in this type of work you're gonna need balls if you want to survive."
"I am not her pet."
"Yeah,yeah. And I'm Justin Bible's secret lover. Tell me, how is the crazy lady?"
"You Saud it yourself, 'crazy'."
Fernandez starts laughing yet again.
"I swear, only you can get away with calling g her that. She's a fragile little thing, don't go breaking her heart."
"Trafficking hundreds of women and selling them as sex slaves while selling white magic to people and using g that money to make a rehabilitation center so they can bring you more money is you're idea of fragile?"
"Hey,you know the old saying. If she looks good and she's smart, then she got a screw or two lose. Just keep in mind that you're alive because of her,and nobody, including myself will harm you because of her. Be grateful"
"Be grateful to a psychopath? Yeah, I'll put that on my new years resolutions list. If that's all,then I'll take my leave."
Just then,the door behind him opens. It's Landon who walked through with bloody knuckles, wearing a hoodie and to cover his face, a bandana he stole from one of the guards to cover his face and two guns one pointing at Fernandez the other at Alex.
"And who may you be?"
Fernandez asked pointing his gun at Landon.
"Oh me? I'm just an innocent bystander. Don't mind me."
"Well, Mr 'Innocent bystander.' You wouldn't have to happen what happened to my boys outside,would you?"
"Those two? They were a tough nut to crack,but I managed."
"I see, so that blood on your knuckles-"
"It's theirs, that much I can guarantee."
(Wait, this voice. I know it, I'ts Landon!! But what's he doing here?)
"Seems to me like we're in a pickle. Let me guess, Amalia sent you to kill me? Or is it a rival family who sent you to kill him and take the white magic ? I'll double whatever they're paying you and you let me go."
"I'll make you a deal, yeah? How about I shoot you and kill him after."
"Kill me? Dude I know it's you in there, this ain't fu-"
Before he could finish his sentence he was knocked out by Landon. Causing him to faint and collapse to the floor.
"Now that he's out of the way,how do you want to play this? Heads or tales?"
Fernandez raised an eyebrow in confusion to the statement.
"You know how I conduct my business? Looks like I got a stalker... Heads."
"Don't flatter yourself. Now take out the coin."
Said Landon with both guns now pointed at Fernandez. He slowly took out the coin from his pocket and tossed it up and let it fall on the ground.
"You know, Mr 'Innocent bystander' if it's Heads that means we ditch the guns ad have a good ol' fist fight."
"I know, and I also know that both sides are Heads anyway. So why don't we just get to it."
"My,my. Looks like someone did their homework on me. Now I'm more curious to know who you are. On three?"
He asked, implying that on three they both let go of their weapons and start their fight. Landon nodds and both of them start to count...1 they slowly bend down. Two, they put their guns down...3, they let go. And immediately start charging at each other. While Fernandez was a gangster there's nothing he loved more than a good old brawl, and the moment he saw how bloody Landon's fists are the way already scheming a way to get a brawl out if him.
However, Landon knew this. This wasn't the first time he and Fernandez crossed paths. He had fought him before in his old life and had won,but this time around it was their first meeting. Fernandez wet for the right hook. Many would think this is his strong hand since he is right handed but Landon knew otherwise. Instead of blocking and leaving himself open lije many would do, he wwnt for a leg sweep and immediately kicked Fernandez's head.
Fernandez got up , dizzy and looked at Landon.
"You read my moves like we fought before. Weird."
"Maybe we did, who knows?"
"Well then, let's make this the last time."
He charged at Landon and immediately threw his left,but Landon was ready. He weaved the left hook and snuck in an uppercut of his own to rock Fernandez. He then went for a double left-right jab combo to temporarily rock Fernandez once again before sliding behind him and lifted him up for a German suplex to break his spine and kill him in the process. As he slowly stood up, Landon noticed a sharp pain in his stomach. It was knife that Fernandez had secretly used in his last moment to injure Landon.
"Mother...you never change. Now then, are you gonna come out or do I have to search for your. Amalia?"
Just then, a laugh is heard along with the sound if clapping hands. And there she comes from the stairs, a beautiful woman unlike any other. She had long black hair, brown skin with beautiful brown eyes. Her heels hitting the flower with every step expressing her confidence. There she was, Amalia DeLuca aka "pythonissam".
"My,my. What do we have here? A little rat who wasn't invited to the party? How didn't you know I was here?"
"Although he is portrayed as a member of 'El Diablo's de Oro' Fernandez here is actually your righthand man. And for most cases he's never just anywhere. Because no one knows what you really look like apart from a couple of people it's easy for you to move around while acting to be his girlfriend."
"Nendz was right. You really did do your homework, so much so that I have to kill you now."
She Said, taking a gun out and pointing in to Landon.
"That wouldn't be a good idea. "
"And why's that?"
"Cause it'll make Alex here sad if you do."
"Why would it make him sad."
"I don't know, maybe because I'm his best friend."
Amalia bursts into tears h3aring those words.
"Best friend? You're crazy, you're definitely a well trained assesign, that's for sure."
"Am I really,Why don't you ask him? He should be up by now."
"A-amalia, stop. Don't shoot him,please. It's true, his Landon."
