The Impossible Game ~~AVENGERS~~

~~CHAPTER THREE~~ REVENGE IN NEW YORK

She let go of him and the two heard coughing from behind the door. The locks clicked and the door creaked open. They walked past the man who had his head hung low. A short African American man walked up to them and signaled for them to follow him.

JJ ducked as sparks flew around her and some of the men working on different projects stopped to stare at them.

The group ended up in a poorly lit room where a man was shouting into a phone. He had a thick New York accent and a chubby figure.

One of his men alerted him that the girls were there and he stopped talking. He turned his head over his shoulder and whispered 'oh shit'. He said one last thing into the phone and hung up.

"Oh hello!" He shouted at the girls. "It is so nice to finally meet you!" The strange man gave the two girls a hug that lasted too long.

"I am Peter Dark and may I say it is a pleasure to meet you two in person." Peter smiled at the two and they did not return it. "You know over the phone you sounded quite scary, but in person. . . you are slightly more intimidating."

The two smiled lightly at his words but did not make any other movements.

"Mr. Dark," Lou began.

"Please call me Peter," Peter assured her.

"Mr. Dark, we came here from Russia for your help with certain problem of ours." Lou continued.

"Yes, right. You did not tell me what it was." He pointed a finger at them from behind his desk. "But I will still help you. What was it you said you needed? Cars, right?"

"Yes, and access to your underground network." Peter stopped in his tracks.

"That was not on the list," He held his bourbon glass to his chest with a questioning look. "What will you need that for?"

"Let's just say what we are stealing requires quick exit." Lou looked at JJ who had a stone cold expression. She was fiddling a screwdriver that she picked up from one of the men watching them. She held it behind her head and threw it at Peter. It shattered his glass and landed in the wall behind him.

"We would like that very soon with least bit of hassle, ja?" JJ held no emotion in her face and stared directly at Peter's eyes.

"That won't be a problem," he laughed awkwardly. "Right boys?" He turned to the men that were all not so discreetly watching the exchange. They all laughed and said different agreements. One man in particular was not laughing. He looked quite terrified and when he met Lou's eye line his head dropped and did not look up for a while.

"So," Peter signaled for the boys to stop laughing. "You want access to my system then you will need to pay me more."

"That won't be problem." JJ pulled a large wad of hundreds out of her pockets and looked at Peter. "How much?"

"Umm," Peter wavered for a moment trying his hardest to get the best deal. His eyes never left the stack of cash. Lou started walking around and looking at different machines on tables.

"So, what will it be?" JJ raised an eyebrow at him. He laughed nervously and looked at the ground.

"20 for the Network plus our original deal," He decided on that number and smirked slightly.

"20?" Lou looked up. "20 grand for useless sewer system. Who do you think you are? God?"

"Well, maybe not him but I'm pretty damn close," Peter smirked at his words and the lights flickered momentarily. "And my system is not useless. It took years to get here. You woman couldn't do it in a lifetime." The young man who looked scared from earlier stood up and located all the exits.
