“Motherfuckers, don't you f*****g mess with me...” he said when he saw them through the left side mirror.
The couple increases their speed till they matches the black car on their right side.
But all of a sudden.
(Loud crash)
The black car quickly bumps the couple causing them to terribly crashed on the road. They rolled and got separated from each other while their motorcycle received a lot of damage.
Despite of their terrible situation, the black car's driver didn't show any mercy, he just continued to drive like nothing happened.
The only one who survived the tragedy was the man who's still conscious at that moment, while laying on the ground and staring at his unconscious wife.
The rescuers came after receiving a call from concerned citizens, they placed him into the stretcher and carried him into the ambulance while his wife is taken into another ambulance but is already covered by a white cloth.
After several days, the suspect named Westley Harfield was legally captured by the authorities and detained in jail but only for several months due to unknown reasons.
When the man receives that news, he just felt an overwhelming anger. He fought for the murder case again just to bring back the suspect to jail, but the fate doesn't seems working with him.
The suspect couldn't still be sent back to prison. He even visited the suspect's luxurious house just to promise him that he won't live a peaceful life. Days, months and a year has passed by. He did all his best to win the case again, but he only ended up losing his will.

The knowing is done.
“Ga-huh?” the man was stunned by witnessing another incredible power when Vincent untouches his forehead.
Vincent wears his left glove and faces the opposite way. He walked back to the darkness but before he is fully swallowed, he gave him one last look without turning around.
(Thud)
Vincent vanishes in the dark, leaving the man more amazed without saying a word.

The night fall came.
(Crickets buzzing)
“Yes I'm on my way now. Don't worry, I'll be there in minutes.” wearing a business attire, Westley is walking closer to a black limousine.
Beside him are two butlers and one gorgeous lady accompanying him into the limousine.
At the limousine, there are another six butlers standing and waiting for them to ride in. The butlers wears black suits, wired radio earphones, and shimmering watches. While the woman wears a luxurious red dress, shimmering wearables, shoulder bag and heels.
“Good evening sir, good evening madam.” the six butlers smilingly greeted them and bowed shortly when their clients stood in front of them.
“Good evening.” Westley and his lady smilingly greeted them too.
One of the butlers opens the right middle door for their clients to enter, and Westley let his lady step in first before his turn.
(Soft thud)
When the door is closed the butlers outside enters their assigned seats, surrounding their clients as part of their protection strategy.
The gate opens itself automatically when the guard presses a button on his station. Its like a two pieces of a puzzle that is gently pulled apart.
The limousine began to roll its wheels, heading out through the opened gate.
They leave Vincent peeking above the roof of luxurious house with red glowing eyes.

(Limousine honks)
Three old men standing beside their own gorgeous ladies did turned a look to their left, as they heard the limousine's loud horns. The old men wears a business attire, while their ladies wears luxurious dress and other shimmering wearables, bag and heels.
Behind them is a very tall and huge company building with good architectural design. People can be seen walking everywhere, entering and exiting the building.
“Good evening madam, good evening sir.” butler one came out from the right front seat to assist the guests.
He opens the right middle door and each of the old men lets their ladies step in first before their turn.
(Soft thud)
When the door closes he immediately went back to his seat and the driver of the limousine who's also one of the butlers do step on the acceleration pedal to roll the wheels.
Their travel continued for several minutes, heading somewhere in the large city.
Crouching above a building's rooftop's ledge like a ninja, Vincent is watching down the limousine passing through the foot of the high building.
The light of the moon makes his eyes glow more reddish because of the darkness that swallows his face under his hood.
“So Mr. Westley, how's your new business?” the first old man asked, he was seating on the right side along with the other guests and facing a small table that divides the two long seats.
The table holds a bottle of luxurious wine and exact number of small glasses for everyone.
Westley grabs the bottle of wine and poured each glasses for him and for his guests. He was seating on the left side with his lady and two butlers seating distantly on both of their sides.
“The two of my business are going well, except the last one.” he said while pouring the last three empty glasses on the table.
“Why?” the second old man asked after taking a drink of his glass of wine.
“What's the matter?” the first old man asked.
“That's you're new business, right?” the third old man asked too.
“Yes,” a response for the third old man, “ Well, I don't think it's getting profitable... I've been thinking of turning it into a bankrupt and invest for a new business.” he said and take another drink.
When the limousine passed by and already moving farther, Vincent summoned the dagger by a slightly gripping his right hand in a quick pace.
He began to run away from that spot, going to the left direction.
