Chapter 23 - Zevi

"What is this? You burst in here, assault my men, and want to arrest me?" There was a guy standing atop a catwalk, it was barely a man with the type of build you'd mistake for a cheerleader if you didn't take a second glance. However, there was a sparkle in his eyes that showed he wanted everything. There was something too perfect about his face, smooth, delicate, almost pretty. He looked like trouble wrapped in perfume and chaos.

"Reminds me of Rook." Nova chuckled but Aria looked back to Kairo with a look of annoyance, "So you supposed to be the mastermind behind, this little thing?" The kid smiled but there was a slight zest to the smile, "Mastermind? How flattering. Visionary. But if Mastermind makes the report sexier..." His head tilted as he said this as if he were enjoying the scuffle.

"Either way, doesn't matter if you'll be at my feet half dead." Aria said with a smile almost as if she were matching his freakiness but the zesty fester retorted, "Who says I won't like it." Kairo looked disgusted he couldn't tell if they were flirting mid mission or something worse, "Eww." Nova said as she looked ready to throw up. The gangmaster smiled as one of his entourages came running, "Zevi, the tower is swarming this place, we have to go!"

Zevi turned to his man, "Go ahead without me, I have some hosts to entertain." Kairo spoke up first as Zevi jumped the railings, "This guy is fucking disgusting." As he landed, he landed with an unnatural air of elegance around him. "So…" Zevi's voice was smooth, playful and too casual for the disorder around them, "Who's first?" Aria stepped forward first, "Why don't you find out?" Kairo and Nova gagged.

Aria summoned a small crystal, less than an inch wide and hurled it at him, she scoffed when it hit a barrier made out a glasslike wall which was bleeding that purple hue.
