Chapter 19: Fear, Part 3
The owner of the factory was quietly sweeping the floor, while he did try and take some precautions for the monster invasion, he also realized that every hour he spent huddled up in fear was another hour he wasn't making enough money to pay both his workers and to feed his family. He swallowed the fear welling up in the back of his throat, and while he kept the doors locked he also left the front door sign to read 'Available.' His workers also came in to do some light inventory work behind the fairly large factory, just to make sure everything was in place.
He heard a firm knock at the front door of his storefront, the man in his 50's looked up at the door and noticed a man standing in front of it. He walked up to inspect through the thick glass door his appearance. He appeared to be in his mid or late 30's with long black hair to his shoulders, slicked back and combed so it wouldn't get in the way. He had a thick stubble on his face and bright blue eyes, looking at the old man with a calm expression. He wore a long blue leather coat over a black shirt and black dress pants, holding a cane in one hand, standing about average height for an adult.
The older man unlocked the door, pulling it open as the younger man looked at him with a calm expression. “Welcome sir, are you interested in buying some gardening equipment in bulk? We just received a new shipment of fertilizers. From natural, synthetic and pesticides... we have them all!” He added to the end, hoping to get the man interested in the variety. The younger man cleared his throat as he spoke with a soft, but clear voice.
“I run a small plantation just out of town, but the winter drought as of recent has made my plants malnourished. I needed something that could get my plants back to thriving as soon as the spring comes.” He explained, using his silvery cane to slowly walk inside, where the man locked the door behind him just for safety. The old man adjusted his glasses, thinking for a bit as the younger man leaned on the front desk as he spoke.
“Oh... If you want to get things up and running really fast.. I suggest an inorganic fertilizer, if you're one of those natural types it's not ideal, but it's pretty much the fastest thing you can do to get your crops back up and growing before the summer harvest starts.” He clarified, the man nodding quietly. “And I'm here to purchase in bulk, it's why I went to your factory instead of a general store.” He calmly explained himself.
“Is that why you had that big truck pulled out in front?” The older man asked, observing that a large unmarked truck was sitting in front of his store, blocking the street somewhat. “Essentially, yes.” The younger man replied. “So... You wish you purchase my wares. What's your name?” The older man asked, The younger man spun his cane quietly in his hands before catching it. “Jean, Jean Dupont.” He answered on cue, smiling at the older male as he turned around, slowly popping the door open. “Well, come to the back and pick your poison, we have plenty to pick from!” He said with a grin, glad business was starting to pick up.
“Do you have anything containing... nitrates?” Jean asked, walking quietly behind the man as he looked around on his many, many shelves. “Plenty of synthetic fertilizers have nitrates in them, heck, the ones in the back are quite potent.” He explained, Jean quietly walked behind him, nodding his head as he looked around the factory floor. There were rows and rows of bags ready to be shipped, along with a huge mixing machine to actually make the fertilizer. He gripped the tip of his cane and slowly began to twist it, the threading slowly spinning downward as he tried to make no noise. “And these are the ones you were talking about?” He asked, looking up at the huge rack they were walking toward.

He gripped the tip of his cane and slowly began to twist it, the threading slowly spinning downward as he tried to make no noise. “And these are the ones you were talking about?” He asked, looking up at the huge rack they were walking toward.
“Yep, this is the one! Do you want to
do the transaction by pocket or digitally?” He asked, walking up to
the fertilizer and placing his hands on his hips. “What was your
name?” Jean asked out of nowhere, the old man cocked his eyebrow,
but thought nothing of it. “Thomas, Why do you as-” He got cut
off, as a blade pierced through the back of his neck, bursting
through his esophagus and throat as it shot out the front with a
geyser of blood.
Jean slowly pulled the blade out as the man gripped his throat and a gasped rattle spurted from his mouth. Falling to the floor and looking up at Jean, slowly pulling a rag to wipe the blade of his now unsheathed cane of the fresh blood. “Unfortunately, Thomas... I'll need to reconsider how this transaction is going down.” He said, tossing the rag down to the floor, quietly watching him bleed to death as he reached into his coat. He pulled out a steel mask that was styled somewhat like a wolf's profile, strapping it to his head to obscure his face besides the eye-holes and his mouth.
“Have a nice day.” He quietly spoke to the dying man, turning around and reaching into his pocket to pull out a small radio. He held down the button, speaking to the person on the other side. “Are the other workers silenced?” He asked, keeping his mood very relaxed. The voice came in with the slight sound of static. “Yeah, Wolf. It was actually pretty easy.. I almost felt bad for them.” A voice answered that sounded somewhat like a rough voiced girl.
“Oh, I feel bad for them as well. They're just an unfortunate means to an end... They withheld from us and that unfortunately put us at a conflict. Everyone's a victim.” He explained, The windows being broke as several people stationed on top of the building slung down ropes, before bashing the factory windows in with Pulse enhanced kicks to the windows to head inside. Nearly 10 of them dropped to the floor from each window as they softly walked up to him.
“The fertilizer with the nitrates we need are stored in the southwest corner of this very shop. Grab as much as you can and be out in 10 minutes, Understood?” Wolfe ordered as he slowly screwed his cane back in to hide the blade, slowly turning around to walk away back to the entrance. “Yes sir!” the goons shouted, wearing their black masks and blue hooded jackets as they rushed over and grabbed the bags of fertilize and slinging them over their shoulders.
He walked out the front door, leaning against the wall as he quietly reached down to reach over to his coat pocket, pulling out a small locket and glancing down at it as his men came through the front door, carrying several bags of fertilizer per person, popping the back of the truck open and tossing them into the back.
Nearby, Lily was huddled up behind a car as she turned on her arm communicator to once again contact Maria. “It's been nearly 10 minutes since I've called you, why aren't you here yet...?” She asked Maria, but couldn't get any response for her on the other side, her channel was just a blank. Lily sighed, shaking her head and turning the channel back over to Jonah's and Caleb's. “Guys? Maria can't help, I need you guys!” She pleaded, looking at them as they began to stockpile their loot into the car, realizing that they would be gone before any help could even arrive.
“We'll come when we can, Lily! I just don't know how long 'we can' could be.” Jonah replied, currently dropping people off at the shelter roughly half a mile off. Normally that's a short distance.. but not when it's complete chaos. “I'm going in, it's now or never...” Lily muttered, Caleb chiming in with his own comment. “Don't do anything stupid, Lily... Stopping robbers just ain't our job.” This frustrated Lily, as she drew her long sword and sneaked up around the front of the van. She peered around one side of it, noticing it was about 2-3 guys.
Jean slowly pulled the blade out as the man gripped his throat and a gasped rattle spurted from his mouth. Falling to the floor and looking up at Jean, slowly pulling a rag to wipe the blade of his now unsheathed cane of the fresh blood. “Unfortunately, Thomas...

Stopping robbers just ain't our job.” This frustrated Lily, as she drew her long sword and sneaked up around the front of the van. She peered around one side of it, noticing it was about 2-3 guys.
One appeared to be their leader, taking
a break as two of them loaded up a pile of bags from the ground. She
took a deep breath and came out of hiding, pointing her blade at them
both. “Halt!” She shouted, the three guys wearing their disguises
just stared up at her, not reacting. “Can I help you, miss?” The
leader, Wolf spoke. Leaning off the walk and not acting like she was
much of a threat. “I saw what you were doing... You're robbing this
place and killing the security amid the chaos of the invasion!” She
accused, He looked up at her, giving a brief laugh. “Well... We
were going to just rob it. But who knew the owner would have turned
up at work today?” He explained, walking up to her, causing Lily to
lower into a combat stance.
“He got in the way.” He added, before walking up to near arms length. “I'm here under jurisdiction of Spectrum... Cease this and I promise it won't be a fight.” She warned, but he quietly shook his head at her. “Not be a fight? You assumed there was going to be a fight?” He spoke in jest of her, which caused her to frown. She wanted to at least give them some kind of warning before she attacked... maybe they were the type to surrender.
“Are you daft? I'm not afraid of you, Miss Sterling... Even if you try to stop us, it's not going to be a fight.” He answered, This caused Lily to take a wild swing at him, though he wasn't close enough to actually get a proper slash in. Suddenly, from behind her two of the Silent Fall members grabbed her from behind. One of them grabbed her by the wrist of her sword arm and twisted it behind her back almost hard enough to break it. In pain, she dropped the blade.
The other one grabbed onto her torso and picked her up, slamming her into a wall after kicking away her sword. “H-how do you know my name!?” She shouted at him, the goon pinning her to the wall quickly grabbed a knife attached to the holster in her belt and lifted it to stab her in the throat. But with swift reaction, Wolf grabbed her hand. “Everyone knows who you are, Lily. You can only do so much to hide yourself when you're the heir to a massive fortune from a weapons monopoly.” He explained, Lily looking to the floor as the goon looked up to her boss.
“Why are you stopping me? You said 'No witnesses,' Right?” She asked, her voice slightly muffled by her mask as she talked. “The little thing attached to her arm will go off if there is too much trauma. It will also go off if it's forcibly removed.” He continued to explain, The girl slowly sliding the knife back into it's holster. “On top of that, if we killed a Sterling who is a Spectrum member... We'll have both the government AND the entourage for one of the most powerful men on the planet after us after we get worldwide media coverage. It just isn't worth all the trouble of being in the spotlight.” He said, patting her on the back lightly for doing as he said.
“Why are you doing this!?” Lily shouted at him, he just lightly swung his cane onto his shoulder. “Why should I tell you anything? You literally have no authority over me or what anyone at Silent Fall does.” He replied calmly with some confidence. “But hey... I guess I have enough time to amuse you. We're still filling the truck and I have about 6 minutes left before I must make my leave.” He said, amused just a bit at her struggling.
“I am Wolf. Silent Fall is the people of Rosewall's attempt to overthrow the fact our lives are in control by corporations and snooty trust fund bitches like you, who get to control everything we do even in dire times just because you happen to exploit a disaster to your own financial benefit.” He stated, his voice having the tinge of resentment as he began to address Lily directly. “Like me? I joined Spectrum to GET AWAY from my dad!” She yelled to try and convince him that he's not right about her. “And you think I care?” He replied bemused, slapping her with the back of his hand before pushing his lackey out of the way to hold her by the chin and look down at her.
“No one cares about what you're really like. You really haven't done enough to convince me that your petty argument is true. It's easy to talk about how humble you are when you have not a care in the world, ain't it?” He asked, keeping her pushed to the wall with his hands firmly grasped onto her shoulders. “We live in fear EVERY DAY and we're not even allowed to protect ourselves. We struggle with basic needs like having a house over our heads, and people get indignant at US when we get upset about it, like we don't know any better?” He began to rant at her, she quietly listened though she didn't really have any other choice. She couldn't overpower him without her sword, she's too light to win in a test of strength.
“No, and just because the Ash War took place doesn't mean that all of our society is stupid, we underestimated how dangerous the Riftfallen were... But no one will listen to us. This is why we've come to this point of desperation.” He admitted, Lily looking at the ground some. “This is going too far! I understand you're upset... I understand how all of you feel, but violence isn't going to get ANYONE to listen to you. All you're doing is damning the people of your cause to look like violent sociopaths who aren't worth getting any attention.” She argued, but he just lightly chuckled at that.
“You think we haven't tried passing petitions to parliament? The entire thing is a farce, bills get argued, revised constantly before getting shut down because someone bribed an official to veto it.” He complained, Glaring at the young adult. “We're the necessary evil. We're the final cry of a nation about to be crushed under the weight of control. Maybe from what we're doing the companies holding our government in their back pocket will understand just how desperate the less fortunate can be when it comes to these troubled times we live in.” He added, Lily struggled a bit more, but Wolf grabbed her by the collar to slightly lift her off her feet.
“If you really had such a noble cause, you'd disband RIGHT NOW. You can be good people who want to change how things work if it makes you so unhappy!” She pleaded, but he just lightly shook his head. “It's far too late, my friend. We're here so the people will never be ignored again.” He answered, snapping one of his fingers as two people grabbed on to her so he could promptly let go. “It appears we're running out of time. Fox, Bull, Make this a day to remember for her, okay?” He asked the two people grabbing onto Lily, one promptly kneeing her in the stomach so hard she lurched forward in pain.
The other one shoved her to the ground, leaning over her and starting to punch her hard in the face over and over again. The first one kicking her in the stomach, and since she didn't have her sword, she couldn't block it using Pulse. She gripped her stomach in pain as she was kicked over and over again. The sharp pain in her ribs growing more and more as it felt like her ribs were cracking. She felt her vision begin to blur as one of them woke her up quickly by gripping her long blonde hair in their hands, lifting her head a couple of feet off the ground.
She groaned in pain, as one pulled a blade and hacked at her hair, cutting her long white-gold locks and forcing her face to smash back in the ground, her roughly cut hair draping her face as smashing in the cement knocked her out cold. Her armlet began to ring and go off, signifying that she's taken enough damage to be considered for evacuation. Wolf turned around and walked back over to the duo as they looked at her unconscious body.
“Well that's unfortunate.” He stated, Looking at the now injured Lily laying on the ground, he reached up to grab onto one of their shoulders. “Let's get going before they arrive.” He stated, climbing into the truck and turning on the ignition as the 10 or so members of Silent Fall all headed inside the back of the truck, closing the double doors as they quickly sped off.
Lily's hand communicator began to pick up a signal from Maria as she finally spoke up. “Hey Lily, I'm sorry that I couldn't show up... Monster have begun to flood the streets, I had to dip into the back alleyways and it's been taking up a ton of my time.” She explained, though Lily couldn't even hear what she was saying. “Unfortunately it will be another 10 or 15 minutes before I could even show up anywhere near where I think you currently are. I hope you didn't do anything stupid.” She added, sounding a bit concerned.
“Lily? Where are you? Answer already!”
“He got in the way.” He added, before walking up to near arms length. “I'm here under jurisdiction of Spectrum... Cease this and I promise it won't be a fight.” She warned, but he quietly shook his head at her. “Not be a fight? You assumed there was going to be a fight?” He spoke in jest of her, which caused her to frown.
