The day finally came, the save lady that had approached him the first day walked up to him again.

"It is time" she said before waking out.

Eric quickly got dressed, today was the day they will be taking his father's killer unaware, it was time for revenge.

The plan was to take him by surprised but even they were surprised when they found out he was already waiting for them.

The battle was an intense one but it was five against one, the man was greatly outnumbered so it wasn't a surprise that a bullet got him on his lower abdomen just as he was trying to reload his gun. That bullet had come from Eric's gun.

Eric walked up to the dying man gasping for breath, it looked as if he was choking on his own breath.

"I'm... I'm yo.u.r fath..er" he said before he stopped breathing.

Eric stood still, it was like he was in a trance.. "Is it true?" He asked the lady standing behind him.

"Yes, he was one of us but wanted out. We've spent years trying to catch him but he's always one step ahead of us, well not until we got you"

Eric closed his eyes as tears flowed down his cheek. He suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of a bullet magazine been slapped into an Ak47 and with the speed of light and with guns in both hands, he turned back sending shots after shots into their body.

He didn't stopped until his magazine was empty even though they had all died 30 seconds ago.

They had made him kill his father and they were gonna pay. They made one mistake and that was training him to be this good.
