Dying Rays

Chapter twenty five: The Mess

Jonathan slammed the door shut and panted having run down the street to get away from the horde that followed ''Fuck!'' he turned and kicked a garbage can out of anger and placed his hands on his hips thinking about what he should do ''You seem angry.'' Jon turned taking his gun out and aimed at the person who spoke, a guy in leather jacket, he had black hair and had a cigerete in his mouth, the guy put his hands up ''Easy.'' he stated looking at him, Jonathan narrowed his eye's at him ''Detective Evin Dragon.'' Jonathan squinted his eye's a bit ''Detective?'' he questioned, the guy nodded and reached for his pocket, Jon cocked the pistol but the guy paused again, he looked to the window seeing the dead surrounding the diner they were in, he took a black leather badge out and opened it letting Jon see. Jon stepped forward and took it from him looking at it as he kept the gun on him. He read it and saw why he used Evin's name, this was his badge, Jon smiled and looked at him lowering the gun a bit ''You alone?'' the guy smiled ''Me and my group were looking around the area for any people who might've been in the buildings, to help them, so yeah I'm alone, that was probably my group that set off the explosion.'' he stated and stepped forward.

Jon looked at him as he held his hand out ''Could I have it back?'' Jon looked at the badge again ''Why?'' he asked, the guy looked confused now ''It's not your's.'' he smiled and raised it a bit shooting the guy in the knee causing him to scream and fall to his left knee which was still good, Jonathan put the badge in his pocket ''Fucker.'' Jonathan walked over and crouched down ''Where'd you get the badge?'' he questioned, the guy looked at him ''Who do you think you are, attacking a detective.'' Jonathan smiled ''I'm Jonathan Dragon, and you don't look a thing like my little brother, so I'll ask again, where'd you get the badge.'' he asked narrowing his eye's again, the guy put his head back, Jonathan got up and looked around before putting the pistol away and reached over the counter picking up one of the knives and went back before crouching down before stabbing it into the guy's shot out knee causing him to scream again and sit up looking to Jon panting a bit, Jon waited ''A kid.'' Jon stared at him before twisting the knife ''Fuck... A little boy, he had brown hair and was staying in a small store.'' Jon smiled ''I wanna know what happened after you found him.'' the guy looked at him ''What? The brat ran away after stabbing one of my men, I didn't see where he went, didn't have his backpack though.'' Jonathan looked at him ''But he has a weapon?'' the guy looked at him and nodded ''Yes, he has a weapon.'' Jon looked at him ''Why'd he stab someone?'' Jon questioned, the guy raised his head a bit ''Why do you care about the kid?'' Jon smiled and took the knife out of his leg.

''He's my nephew.'' the guy looked at him ''Why don't I believe you?'' Jon smiled ''You don't need to, but you might wanna make me believe you, yknow, before I open the door and let the horde in here to snack on you.'' the guy smiled ''You do know if you open that to kill me that you will get swarmed to, so go ahead.'' Jon smiled ''I know, but something tell's me it'll be worth it.'' he stated, the guy stared at him ''I've got a couple more question's for you.'' the guy scoffed ''What makes you think I'll tell you anything?'' Jonathan smiled a bit again ''Because, I'm not the one with a blown out knee.'' the guy stared at him ''So, how big is your group?'' he asked, the guy stared at him ''To many for just two people to handle.'' Jon smiled ''What makes you think it's just me and my brother wondering around in this city?'' the guy looked at him ''I know you have a group, with two todlers, two teenagers, a pregnant woman, a very masculan woman, the asian guy.'' Jon stared at him ''Saw you when you all came out of the subway tunnels, those bodies that were on those light post's, those were my men.'' Jonathan stared at him ''That was a cult that did that.'' the guy nodded ''I know, I'm just wondering if that kid made it out of the area, saw him to.'' Jon smiled ''Thought you said you didn't see where he went?'' the guy looked at him then thought about it before looking to the side. Jonathan smiled ''See how easy it was talking to me?'' the guy looked at him before bringing his hand up moving his fingers across his lip's and smiled a him ''Wrong answer.'' Jon stated before punching him.
