Xavier stared at the files in his hands and tried not to get too scared by them. There was information on them, more information than he would have felt comfortable ever knowing but he could see what Con was so scared of now. He might even be sure that he had managed to see the things Con had not. To begin with, this world was not what they thought it was.At least it was not all they thought it was. It was much more than they imagined and the fact that Con had somehow managed to stumble on this clearly meant the cosmos was seeking their help, or rather Con's help. Somehow somewhere there was someone or something pushing Con towards making these decisions and he could feel it now. He was sure if he told Jane and Aubrey that they would plan to eat him up alive. Both him and that thing he felt was guiding Con into making the decisions he was making. Their world was under threat, and he would be damned if he just sat back and watched it all crumble.Xavier reached for his phone and tap
Constantine woke up with a yawn, his body cracking in places he didn't think could make that kind of sound as he stretched and his eyes brimming with an alertness that shouldn't have been present in the eyes of someone who had just woken up. The sun cast it's rays on the walls of his apartment and he could feel the heat those rays gave off. The sky was awake. The sun was awake. The world was awake because it was eight in the morning and it was time for his landlady to have her bath. Con smiled at the thought. This had become the highlight of his mornings for some reason. Well not for some reason, but for an obvious reason. His landlady was worth it. Everyone in the world would have to agree that it wasn't an easy task scaling the walls and roof of a two storey building. Coupled with the fact that he had to avoid being spotted by the hundreds of people that traversed the street below and he also had to prevent the unfortunate occurrence that would be him falling off the side of
The sound of gunshots was like a symphony in the air. A symphony of death and destruction. Enemy tanks released shot after shot and automatic rifles blasted bullets at soldiers who hadn't even been aware of the fact that they would be in this sort of situation. Their location had been compromised. Constantine felt like screaming his lungs out. He watched his fellow comrades take shots to the head, to the leg, to the stomach where the bullet sometimes grazed by and ripped their skin spilling the intestines out. Their screams echoed in his head and the mighty rumbling of the enemy's war machines were enough to inspire fear into any soldier. Constantine peeped through the hole of his small hideout and in a split second he had fired a bullet. An enemy armor tank went up in flames and shots followed. "I was the one who leaked out our location." Constantine's eyes flew wide at the sound of the voice he heard and sure enough when he turned to look around, Mark stood there, almost
Con could see that Aubrey was enraged.For one her face had turned red and her nostrils were flaring. She was trying to rein her anger in but it wasn't working.It seemed these two had an issue to sort out and it would be normal for a tenant to want to be out of the way in a situation like this, but Constantine didn't trust this John guy. He looked like the sort of person that would do something foolish because he thought he was entitled enough to do it. The bodyguards he had behind him too didn't make matters any easier."I need the boy back Aubrey.""That wasn't what we agreed on John. That was not what we agreed on."Aubrey could hear the pain in her own voice. There was anger there too. She let herself bask in that anger and find strength from it. Oddly the presence of someone else also made her feel a level of reassurance.When she and John had divorced, they had signed a legally binding contract stating that she would be responsible for the care and raising of their son. John ne
Constantine radiated an intense killing intent. His mouth had curved up into a sinister smile.Who the hell did this fool think he was?Constantine ignored the screams Aubrey's ex husband was letting out. He only tightened his grip on the hand he had captured.He would make sure that John wouldn't use his hand again.Con felt someone touching him softly and he turned to catch the panic in Aubrey's eyes. She didn't want him to hurt her dumb ex husband too much. Constantine let out a resigned sigh and threw John back.No one expected him to go flying into the wall!John hit the wall with a thud and he felt his spine let out a sound.What the hell!He raised his head to look at the insolent son of a bitch that had caught his hand and almost broken it. The look Constantine returned made him feel that chill go up his spine again.John looked to his body guards."Is it until he kills me that you'll do something. Attack him you fools!"Constantine only smiled as the six men approached him.
Constantine got to his place of work and released a sigh.Ever since his dismissal and subsequent departure from his mercenary crew, he had started working here. The main reason he had come to this town was because of a promise he had made to someone, a promise he intended to keep, so he worked here, as a security guard.Nurain Fashion corporation was one of the fastest rising and leading names in the fashion industry. of Glover city. They dealt in luxury pieces of fashion and jewelry. Each and every dress was pricey and worth the extravagant price. Some top female politicians chose Nurain as the go to brand for anything shopping and fashion related.The company had a value asset of over thirty billion dollars, and although that would seem like a very impressive and powerful status for any company to have achieved, in Glover city, it really wasn't much.The bustling metropolis that was Glover city had a lot of companies with impressive repertoires.Nurain was just one of those compan
Con watched as Jane flushed at his words and tried to keep a blush from spreading to her cheeks. He also watched her fail and chuckled as she blushed furiously.Jane didn't know if to count herself lucky or simply die from the level of embarrasment she was feeling at the moment.She was laying on the body of the man she had been harboring a crush on. And at work no less.Jane stood up as quickly as she could, getting off Constantine like he was a platter of hot coals and she would get burnt if she lay on him too much.Con only grinned slightly as she stood up.Jane was a good person, of course he wouldn't let her fall down when he knew he could do something to prevent it.A manager of Nurain falling down in front of mere guards didn't feel like something that was supposed to happen, and apart from that, Jane always dressed daringly.Her outfits usually had a pattern to them, the same pattern that almost every working lady seemed to use when they were dressing up for work, just that Ja
After all the guards had been assigned their duties, they disbanded from the main hall of the ground floor and went to attend to their various tasks.For Con that task was patrolling the perimeter of the Nurain building. It was one of his favorite things to do.Nurain's headquarters building was a fairly massive one. All of the company's new products would be displayed here first before they made their appearances at the company's smaller retail stores. Con always had a lot to look at whenever he was on patrol.Since this fashion company mostly focused on female wear and especially beautiful females, they were quite known now in Glover city. There were always a lot of patrons around and Constantine always enjoyed watching the beauties as they shopped and had a nice time making themselves beautiful.He was a shameless man, so he really didn't have any qualms with loving beautiful ladies so much, anyone who judged him for it could as well choke on their judgment.This life was very diff
