A little bit of murder (Repost) (Open)
*This was one of the few times Bobby was in IDGAF mode. He had to admit this time, it wasn’t totally the bounty hunter, today, he was, maybe three quarters the bounty hunter, and the part that almost scared him was how much that one quarter was enjoying this.
It was his fourth pickup of the night, all of them had been multiples. Well, two of them contracted multiples, the third, a bodyguard got in the way. This time, once again, single, but this was the second person of this pickup. He stuck his hand into the man’s chest, touching his soul, smiling at the sound of the screams. He was half tempted to let this one go, he was destined for below anyway, the type of security guy that got a dishonorable discharge for killing people that didn’t need to die.
But he had to admit, he liked to hear him scream. Bobby finally put his hand around the soul, yanking it free of the moorings and pulling it slowly out of the chest, listening as the screams echoed and rebounded. Just before he got to the point where he knew it would kill the man. he stopped, holding it there.*
You want to live?
Who do I have to kill?
You’ve got the right idea.
*He yanked the soul free, but placed his other hand on his head at the same time, transferring some of his own power to the man. The soul went in his bag, and he whispered. follow.*
The man got up and followed, now a lesser bounty hunter.
He had finally gotten to the soul in question, the once-bodyguard obediently reaching into the man’s chest, slowly, fumblingly, and with as much pain as possible, and grabbed the soul. After a few words from Bobby he tore it loose, smiling at the sound of the even higher screams. Then, he pulled it out, handing it to Bobby.* The bounty hunter smiled, but he caught something out of the corner of his eye. A figure moving. *
You leave now an’ forget you ever saw this, an’ I’ll let you live.
