Hero Hunter

BANG! “Let’s wrap things up here! The Speedfreak is already dead and the authorities are coming here right at this moment! Lets go!” A man said dressed in a long black coat as he takes everything that he needs inside the apartment. “What are you waiting for! Let’s go!” he repeated to the man that is holding the high caliber rifle after shooting down the hero that has joined the parade and is greeting the people on the side of the streets. “I’m going! There is no need to shout!” he replied as he lights up a match after spraying kerosene inside the apartment room, the room build in wood easily catches on fire and the authorities instead of charging in has called the firefighters to put out the fire. “This is yet another sad news for the entire world. The hero, Speedfreak has just been killed just this afternoon by unknown people. The police has yet to determine how the hero is killed but one thing is for certain, the fans and the heroes will forever remember him as a valiant hero risking his life to serve the people.” The news about the hero’s death is all over the news and the people inside the pub have mixed feelings about what happened. “Heroes this heroes that! Serving the people my ass! I see heroes doing atrocious things all the time. So why don’t they put that in that news!” an old man shouted while holding a glass of beer. His companions, instead of talking him down about what he is saying just laughs at him, saying that he is now drunk. “Old man. You are really drunk you know that? How many time have you said that already.” His companion said with a smile on his face but the old man insist on what he said but got easily swept away by the laughter of the crowd following his persistence. “This is the fifth hero. The authorities will be on our tail. I think we should hold off our operation for now. Let things calm down for the moment.” The man that escaped from the apartment that was burned down said to the one that held the rifle earlier. “I know. But I don’t think I can do that. I have already started so I don’t see myself stopping in the near future until I uproot all of them.” The other man look around before he respond. "You are still hurt about what happened but there are times and chances for that, as long as you are alive. There will be more chances so I am just telling you that you should lay low first and think about our next target. The last time that you did something hasty almost took our life. You know me, I am not someone that would do something that would harm me.” The other guy just stares at him blankly. “Its up to me. It is my revenge after all. Whether you join me or not is up to you. I have already learned everything from the past few years. I will not chicken out now that the authorities have taken interest in me.” He said with a cold tone. And then, while they are busy talking, a waitress comes to their side. “Can I get you something?” he turns to look at her, a tall and slender figure. She has a perfect body good enough to pass as a model yet she is working in a pub. Her body figure is the main reason why the people inside the pub are teasing her, some even went to lengths and touch her butt but since she is just an employee and the place is full of drunk people, she lets it slide. “I don’t know. I’ll just get a coffee. My friend want a beer.” He turns and finds his partner shaking his head while the waitress looks at him in confusion. “That would be all.” Taking no time to waste, she immediately left to get their order. “You know that I don’t drink beer. And what the hell was that with a coffee, inside a pub? Really? Is that really something that you can order inside a place like this? What the hell Jonathan! You are starting to get crazy you know that?” the latter just stares at him blankly and shakes his head. “What should have I ordered then? I don’t think alcohol at this time of the day. And I will be driving later. You want me to crash unto a house or something? Spare me the lecture you bastard.” He responded harshly. And in that moment, a group of people comes in the pub all wearing bandanas and shades. Jonathan immediately recognize these people and upon seeing him, they all went to his table. The once noisy room became silent in an instant after the arrival of those people that sat beside Jonathan. “Well, well, well. Who do we have here?”
