It was a cold Paris evening. A man in a dark suit stops in front of the Eiffel tower, takes a breath, whistles and walks to the nearest cafe. The man walked into the cafe, ordered a cappuccino, and sat down. Several minutes later, two other men walk in, order drinks and join the first man.
“Tonight’s the night gentlemen. You all know the rendezvous point? 0100 hours.” The man got up and left the building, leaving his drink unfinished.
The two men left at the table were visibly stunned. They hadn't expected it to be so soon. They'd both thought that there would be several more weeks of careful planning and reconnaissance like with every other job. They watched 7, for that's the only name he gave the two men, slink into the

Good luck Gentlemen.”

Ian snuck into the security room, careful not to make a single noise that would alert the night guards to his presence. He then proceeded to taze each of them in the neck, gag them, and tie them to their chairs. The next thing he did was something he probably shouldn't have done but he took the fire extinguisher off the wall and slammed it into the computer until it started to smoke and spark. Now you may be thinking ‘But Ian just destroyed the security room computer system, why does Mike still have to take out the security systems?’ The various security systems are not run in that room, it was only where night guards would watch the cameras placed throughout the building.
“And Boss thought I couldn’t handle this job.” and then into his walkie-talkie, “You're up Mike.”
Mike's job would not be as simple as Ian’s was. He snuck into the building, being careful not to set off the laser tripwires in every doorway, and went over to the breaker box. In the breaker box, there were switches labeled lights, cameras, and “action” as well as the main reset switch. Now an average thief would just flip the main reset switch but that would be a mistake. At night, turning off the power would send a silent alarm signal straight to police and that was the opposite of what they wanted. So he flipped the “Action” switch to the off position, which disabled the security
“You know what Mom I don’t have to take this from you i’m going to Mike’s house.”
He’s drinking alone the evening he gets a phone call that he knows will disturb the calm.
Examining the footage, they all saw the first officers entering the premising not so long after, pointing their guns at the suspect, before letting go of their weapons. Just moments later, they all joined the security guards on the ground, twitching in agony. The next instant, while the situation looked under control for the Meta and everyone working to stop the Suppressor was on the ground, the muscular man just took off running out of the bank.
He continued to talk with no expression on his face, “She was my everything. No one understood me like her. When everyone turned their backs on me, she was there.”
Damien awoke to the sound of the wretched voice on his intercom. The like sound of a knife on glass combined with a dying cat seemed like the most accurate representation of him. The voice croaked a few time before speaking.
Laughter of young men floated through the air like chimes on a breezy day as they sparred amongst each other near the barracks of Highgarden. As young Lords of the Reach, they all had dreams of finding glory for themselves as knights. Yet only one of them had been anointed, the future Lord of Highgarden, Mace Tyrell, whom many believed his Lord father had bought the title rather than earned it by his own merit. Having just turned seven-and-ten not three moons prior, one could see glimpses of the man Mace would become. Tall with broad shoulders, his scalp was covered with thick, curly brown tendrils of sweaty hair that dangled loosely over his brow covering hazel eyes as his bulky body heaved for breath from the exertion. His strong jaw is
Sam wakes up soaked in sweat, the morning sun boiling through the windows. A crick in his neck and cramped legs, aching from being tucked into the back seat of the Impala. He can’t help but groan as he feels the back of his t-shirt unstick from the smooth leather. There are similar sounds of misery as Dean tries to peel himself off the front seat and cracks open the car door with a squeak. His heavy booted feet hit the ground with a crunch and Sam can hear Dean’s shoulders pop as he stretches. There's a grumble from his brother as Dean kicks away whatever debris his boots landed on.
I was charging across campus in a daze, only focusing on the handful of memory refreshers in my hand. People were bumping me as I pushed my way through several crowds just trying to get to class on time. I looked down at my pristine steel gray Akribos watch noticing that I had two minutes to get to my Anatomy and Physiology class for my final of first semester. My quick pace immediately turned into a sprint as I still had to journey half way across campus. The brisk fall wind blew my hair against my face as the fall leaves fell from the trees. I ran through the doors of Kela Lecture Hall and flew up the right staircase to find the door to my class slowly closing. I sprinted full speed towards the door and slammed my hand between the wall
Kissing the driver good-bye, Marlene Barnes exited the 2011 Malibu and waltzed across the parking lot. The raven-haired beauty with a taste for the finer things in life, unlocked the new, red sports, Mercedes parked in the doctor’s parking lot with the other expensive vehicles. Driving out onto Imperial Highway and down to Highway 74, with her thoughts lingering on the last few hours spent with her lover. Marlene drove faster than usual to get home ahead of Jerry and Andrew. Smiling as she drove into the garage, without seeing Jerry’s car parked in his usual spot. Marlene went into the house, after making a fresh pot of coffee, she sat at the table, she glanced through the mail while waiting for her husband and father-in-law to arrive.
There was a small whimper. Harry paused and looked towards the bathroom cursing under his breath. It was Louis he could see the boy's fluffy brown hair through the crack in the door.
“We don’t have enough evidence yet to hold Gary, but there are still many unanswered questions. I want to check some other details before we release him. We’ll see you later. When you get your answers, would you mind sending me a copy?” Detective Ward Asked.
“He’s a businessman with a diversified portfolio.” This was true. Her father owned many buildings around the city as well as the team. She had not lied. “How about you, what do you do for a living?”
I've come to know these words well, as it's my favorite fight song. Ironwood has asked for me to do his dirty work. I guess his “specialists” aren't special enough. I'm about decline, of course, when Ironwood starts filling me in. Atlas was under threat of a Yeti Grim, as tall as a mountain, and everyone they sent in failed to take it down, so naturally, it was my turn. That’s my job. I’m a consulting specialist. As the only one with the title, it's sure is a pain for them if I turn down a job. I’m a wild card. A freelance that travels the world looking for the best fights and most interesting adventures. One thing I try to never get mixed up in is the world's troubles. I don't care about “making peace” or “stopping evil”. I can leave that
Angelos stood on the same chair that Eric stood on, and announced, “People, we need to focus. We will attack, soon. We need more action than conversation. Focus people, focus… Please, text your friends and family on the pier and tell them. We will get our supplies together and attack them. Each store should protect itself at this moment.”
The loud crash echoed through the house. Nick frowned and paused the video on his laptop to go investigate. He crept towards the kitchen cautiously. He knew it wasn’t one of the boy's. Only him and Harry were home, the others had gone out shopping for some groceries and other odds and ends.
