[QUOTE="ejja_1, post: 1509611, member: 7880"] Zelaknia climbed up the fire escaper ladder, and made his way across the roof of the tenement building where the Wongs lived. The sun had set and night was coming on, the Drow warrior was in his element now. The door to the roof opened easily, and Zelaknia descended into the squalor of the run down apartment building. The stairwell was lined with trash of various sorts and smelled of urine. Rows of doors extended down the hallway, reminding Zelaknia of cells in a dungeon. Each little cell held a human family, slowly rotting away in their mundane little worlds. Zelaknia spat on the floor in disgust as he made his way to the wongs front door, knocking on it with three short raps from his fist. A portly Chinese gentleman answered the door in a dirty stained undershirt and trousers that had seen better days. " What you want? Johnny not here, you come back later!" The man said through the slightly open door, a small security chain crossed in front of his face. Zelaknia did not speak as he kicked the door, ripping the chain and a good chunk of door trim from the wall. The door and the old man went crashing backwards into a planter, were he lay bleeding from the forehead unconscious. The Drow strode with purpose through the small apartment, searching methodically for the weapons he knew Johnny kept there. Tenants from the surrounding apartments occasionally popped their heads in the door, but fled at the site of the pitch black man ripping the place apart. Zelaknia was starting to become frustrated, but then he found what he had been searching for. Under one of the planters in the living room was a hole in the floor, Johnny had hid several handguns and some ammo. Stuffing everything he had found into a pillowcase, Zelaknia made his way back up to the rooftop. He decided to head back for the sewers, where he would train in the use of these new weapons. Upon reaching the roof, Zelaknia was greeted by four Chinese youths wearing the same "Colors" that Johnny had worn. They took one look at him and the pillowcase he held, and all started to draw handguns. One of the boys who had dyed his hair blonde stepped forward and addressed the Drow. " Where you goin with Johnny's stuff? We heard he got snuffed backing your play." Zelaknia didn't even blink. " I am on my way to kill the human constable that shot him and stopped us from completing our mission. You should stop hindering me, as it does not bode well for your fate." One of the other boys turned to the blonde boy and said. " What the hell did he just say?" The blonde turned and cuffed the other across the head. " He said he's gonna go snuff that pig that did Johnny. And I say we gonna help him light that mutha up Dragon style!" The boys put their guns away and the blonde boy looked at Zelaknia. " Were all yours homes, lead the way to the promised land." The small group fell in step with the Drow warrior, and followed him down into the dank sewers. He lead them to were he had been making his home, in an older area of the sewer system. The blonde boy looked around and spat out. "Damn Shaft, nasty digs. Why you take us here?" Zelaknia turned suddenly on the boy, staring him down from only inches away from his face. "You are here to show me how to operate these weapons, and then you will help me kill the constable. If you perform well enough I will reward you." [/QUOTE]
