Part One: Gang Warfare

Prelude

Blood splattered across the wall as the pulse pistols shot raced through Leo Richards’ chest and into the door behind, he tried to quell the pain radiating from his chest but the pain still split through him like a sledgehammer. Leo raised his own pulse pistol at the figure standing before him but the pain sent his aim off, the pistol shots only clipped the figures shoulder but that was enough for Leo to escape.

The pain was duller now as Leo sped down the steps, any normal person would be dead by now but thanks to the cardimine running through his veins. He risked a quick look up the stairs to see where the figure was, the figure had disappeared, “Slow bastard” Leo said to himself in a hushed whisper. He turned his eyes back to the stairs in front of him but he was a split second to late as a fist landed on his faced and knocked him out cold.

Leo’s eyes struggled to open as he awoke from his unconsciousness, he tried to use his hands to rub his eyes but as he tried to move them the sudden realisation of pain from his wrists hit him. “Your hands and feet are tied with wire embedded with sharp glass, I wouldn’t move them to much if I were you.” The words came from in front of him but with his eyes still struggling to open he couldn’t make out who it was.
“I warned you to stay away from this district didn’t I? You didn’t listen did you? Big mistake *******. You’ve been told not to deal on Eldru Aqua territory, now you have to die.”

The last image Leo Richards saw was the split second of a dim light from the pulse pistols muzzle heating up to fire.
