Sneaking through the shadows (Moe)
He stood and pulled on his coat, wincing slightly as the wound in his shoulder reminded him that he was going to need to rest. Feeling a rumble in his stomach he remembered that is had been some time since his last meal.
"And you thought you were a mess this morning. " He thought to himself.
He gathered his things and peered through the hole in the wall where he had knocked the brick loose. This time of night there would not be many on the streets so his passage should go fairly smooth and unnoticed. However the few people he ran into would not be the type of person even he would not like to meet in a dark alley, which is how he would have to travel. After another quick glance through the hole he decided that he should not delay any longer and opened the door. The street was silent for the most part , other than the usual hum of city life that is always present, and the people that were milling about in the shadows wanted no attention either. He pulled his coat collar up high on his face and began to walk. Serendipity was not far away, only a couple of blocks but it took him the greater part of three hours to creep his way there. At last he was standing across the street looking at the entrance.
He stood at the alleyway entrance for a moment staring at the door. Remembering how just this morning he was smiling, thinking he should visit this place, watching the young woman walking out of the bar. Now all that was lost, he was here now not to enjoy the evening, but rather to hideout and plot his revenge. He looks down the street and decided that now was as good a time as any. He started across the street walking casually, ( or as casual as someone his size possibly could), and finally reached the entrance. He turned the handle and peered inside. It seemed like an odd place to him the ceilings were again uncomfortably low , but other than that it seemed like a safe enough place. He steeped in and closed the door, relaxing slightly as he did so.
He would not have relaxed so easily if he would have looked back the to the alleyway he had just left. At the lone figure standing there. He was dressed all in black with the hood of his cloak pulled over his head. His ebon face hidden in the shadows and a pair of piercing red eyes peering out from underneath. The figure smiled and spun back down the alley flipping his doublehetrodyne transducer open.
"Ergos 1 to base. Need confirmation on subject."
"Base to Ergos 1 go ahead"
"Base I have a possible match on subject. Subject was approx 9 feet tall, brownish green skin, purple eyes, short black hair, extremely large build, wearing duty uniform. "
"Roger, that sounds like our boy. Discover if he still has the device on him, if so retrieve it and terminate with extreme prejudice. Make it look like and accident this time Ergos 1"
"Confirmed, Ergos 1 , out"
The stranger smiled, this was the part of the job he liked.
