BLESSED THE AIR AND STEEL (CHP1)

                  BLESSED THE AIR AND STEEL

The annoying sound of the cold world they invented a magnetic superiority complex that moves with a speed of light within a minute it was sporadically in the air Simpson looks like his from the cold world amalgam just by the corner Simpson his in close range with a good hit he fell down his hand on his stomach eyes blinking rapidly, it is the complexities that makes it so intriguingly cold affection that destroy anyone in close range he moves closer must be certain the cold affliction penetrate deeply and is conclusive before he report back to the Biz. Police at the scene collect every available evidence they could get, the onlookers could not help much most of them are in their eighties except for EM and Zebra who are in their twenties they are also of a little help to the police EM an imbecile is oblivious of the shooting his sister have so much on her mind she did not give the damn who’s at the end of the steel ‘EM what are we eating tonight’ Zebra asked ‘anything yes anything’ said EM ‘yeah anything will do’ Zebra exhausted she’s been going round the town to seek for job, her last as a nanny turns to be ill gotten thanks but no thanks to EM that very day EM the exterminator try to exterminate some bedbug but unknown to him Zebra has been instructed never to allow any form of insecticide close to the kids, unfortunately for both of them the kids develop skin infections. ‘Wake up wake up Zebra’ stomach is hungry said EM when his famished he can hardly put his thought right that’s when his statement his close to nothing but gibberish and it’s morning already it must have been a short night for them ‘oh damn it EM open the refrigerator drink milk eat some fruit’ she dose off ‘drink milk eat fruit drink milk eat fruit drink milk eat fruit’ he only went into repetition mode when is time for food.

 Squish squish squish Simpson perfect his shooting skill, a very good snipper, shot down the apple 100 metre away from him ‘good one your skill imrove anytime I witness it’ said the biz ‘yeah still have to shoot more’ ‘I was in act five a day after the good was deliver and this morning’ biz disclose ‘you don’t need to go there the police might suspect you’ Simpson point out ‘you can never be too sure what information they have’ biz very concern ‘just be careful he warned ‘one strange thing happen when I was there, these two young lad were just going back and forth the street’ biz picture in his mind how they just went past him like he doesn’t exist ‘you think they know something Simpson looks worried ‘don’t know the police never call them to ask question’ that makes biz more puzzled ‘maybe they are crazy’ added Simpson ‘why don’t you go there tomorrow if you see them invite the two for a cup of tea’ he suggest ‘then what happen after that’ ‘someone might ask them question next time they visit’ biz hint ‘so what they can’t get anything from them’ the astute confident from Simpson makes biz to be more worried ‘something is going to pop up I can feel it, the press all over there as well’ he point out ‘tomorrow it will be then’ Simpson agrees to meet them ‘and Simpson don’t do anything out of the ordinary’ he sound uncomfortable he already have the feeling biz don’t want the act three drama to resurface, act three the unusual assignment he carried out, masterpiece of a job he did back then, the steel swerved like a bird movement hit the two target that raises the two finger, quiet as the metal sound he intentionally let the poisonous steel penetrate his arm close to the elbow area, biz was right there when he deliberately let the hemlock iron put its force together he was shell shock but that was a deliberate action from Simpson to create confusion the only problem is biz was not in the plan what did he really think you cannot just assume your partner already know what was in your head he makes it worst for shouting help help I am shot as he screamed press and the police rush to help him ‘give him some breathing space people excuse us excuse us guys let’s do our job the media and the police crew shouting and screaming for space biz don’t like the crowd he found his way out, having a Neanderthal figure face full of beards at that time they were easily unnoticed when they walk along the street as one of the two that were shot with their astonish look right now they look like one of them that work in a blue chip company.

‘where are we going this morning’ EM ask ‘we are heading down the street’ said Zebra ‘waitress can I have a cup of tea’ Simpson request ‘let’s give it a run EM’ said zebra ‘tired of running let’s try something else’ EM suggest ‘what can we do now’ zebra speculate ‘I have a toy gun we can fool around’ EM very excited he already have the toy gun in his bag pack only God knows what else he put in that bag pack zebra was less concern for him the toy gun caught his attention ‘hmm what do we have here’ he continues to gaze at them ‘ what about some action movie’ said zebra ‘yes start running and I’ll shoot you’ EM explain ‘oh no that’s not the way is going to be’ she disagree ‘how do we start? EM asked ‘alright let go hide and seek then we start the action style’ ‘don’t go there she’s hiding beside the mail box how could he not see her’ Simpson says as he walk down to EM perhaps to instruct him on the art of shooting he tap EM on the shoulder point directly to where zebra is hiding ‘I see you’ EM clip his toy gun ‘I see you first’ zebra let go the water in the toy ‘you have sharp instinct’ he point out ‘who are you and why do you reveal my cover? Zebra put the question at his face ‘I’m Simpson and I am a business man I sell toy guns like the one you are holding he said ‘where are the toy guns let’s see the guns EM searching Simpson pocket ‘EM stop that let not make him mad, please pardon my brother he loves to handle gun’ she appeal to him ‘don’t worry I’m not mad at him, maybe you can meet my boss, he have loads of toy guns in his garage’ ‘where is your own toy are they sold out’ zebra being curious ‘actually my boss sell those toy I only work for him’ he explain ‘okay mr gun guy nice meeting your acquaintance we will probably see you around next time’ zebra said ‘next time that means you guys come around quiet often’ Simpson try to get some personal information about them, EM already makes that easy for him ‘yes we leave around the street’ said EM ‘would you like it if I come around let’s say tomorrow with some huge gun’ ‘yippee we love huge gun’ EM jump up he must be addicted to video game ‘don’t bet on that, we don’t deal with guns’ said zebra sharply ‘then I’ll see you when you are gun like ready’ whatever that means to Simpson his just bringing up the subject of gun to spark up EM, unfortunately EM is lost in thought that occasionally happen to him if he don’t feel like talking he will not talk so he doesn’t pay attention to him ‘your brother is not in the mood to talk let me be on my way’  ‘yeah better hurry up and meet your boss’ zebra contempt attitude could not have bother Simpson when he remember the instruction of the biz “don’t do anything out of the extra ordinary” he simply leaves. So can we continue shooting’ EM that don’t feel like talking moment ago now have his mind back ‘no EM I have to collect my stipend at the council office’ zebra hold his hand. At the council office handful crowd still await their allowance however news going round have it that their stipend will come short this time due to economic downturn, confirming the news zebra pushes her way to front of the queue and lay her complain to the official about the shortcoming of their allowance ‘how do you expect me to survive from this paltry allowance’ zebra argue ‘I am sorry Ms that’s what we can afford to pay right now’ said the official ‘this is terrible who do I blame for this now’ zebra asked ‘the situation is only temporary and is definitely not our fault’ another official said while giving the cash to zebra ‘I blame the world for this, I blame the world’ she squeeze the money in her pocket and head home just by the corner of the building a stray cat was just lurking around zebra found it strange as the cat is just been recently coming to their side of the house she just shrug it off as one of those street cat some sparkling eye cat stood themselves out with their starry eyed colour sometime you will think they know what’s in your mind their other characteristic is their scavenging motive they eat almost anything including their poop. ‘These humans don’t eat anymore’ said ate the only green eye pet cat in the midst human as it stand now are trying to outsmart each other the biz hear a squirm sound movement downstairs ‘shhh’ looks at Simpson ‘there is someone downstairs’ said biz Simpson jump the first line of stairs jump another one saw the intruder but he sees Simpson first quiet sound and thick smoke coming from his side Simpson can’t see at that moment with the smoke unfortunately the intruder is very good in karate he dealt with Simpson ‘damn he almost knock you out’ said biz ‘I can’t see a damn thing down there I’ll get him next time I swear I will, who’s he anyway’ ‘he must be one of those spy on the move’ biz guess ‘what does spy got to do with our business’ said Simpson his more of a field guy who doesn’t know the intricate part of the business ‘they are all in for the money’ ‘the money for the act six’ ‘yaeh and its huge nobody know how the act will go down’ biz declare ‘things are sounding strange to me right now’ said Simpson ‘ that’s why I need those kids to help me out with what they know or see’ he point out ‘I’ve study them I know how they react to new faces’ giving the info to the biz ‘then I guess you know what they like and what they don’t like’ said the biz ‘yeah one thing for sure they like guns’ said Simpson ‘that’s good then you have to lure them in, check them out next time you visit and bring them to me’ he disclose
