The Downtown Reapers

Chapter 13

It had been a week since they started getting deal offers through the curious from other high profile people

like the Phenex family, Roman Torchwick, someone called Melas, Demons and more. You would think doing

all these jobs would cause them to have more enemies but most of the people affected either dont know

who are the cause or understand they are essentially messengers and would accomplish nothing by having

them killed.

Beth and Jenny decided to take this day off due to working hard for a week straight to help their gang with

the obvious future war against the shanks when they got a call sent through by the curious. They were angry

at first until they heard the voice through Beths phone.

Willow Schnee: Hello? Is this the girls that have been taking care of Whitley?

Beth: Yeah? Who this is?

Willow: I uhm, I am Whitleys mother. Willow Schnee. I need your help.

Jenny called to Beth from another room.

Jenny: Who is it?

Beth: Its fluffies mom.

Beth turned back to her phone after responding to Willow.

Beth: You know our... services dont come cheap. Right?

Willow: Yes I am well aware. I take it you know about the Schnee company being low on funds at the

moment?

Beth: We are fairly aware. Now then, what is it you need miss Schnee?

Willow: Its Whitley. Hes been kidnapped for ransom.

Willow waited for a sarcastic response, a deadpan agreement, a laugh, something but she was met with

silence from the two girls end.

Willow: Hello? Are you still there? Please, please save my baby. I dont know who else to turn to.

They stayed quiet for a bit longer and Willow was about to just hang up in defeat until she heard one word.

One very angry word.

Beth: Who?

Willow: Im sorry?

Beth: Who took him? Do you know?

Willow: I dont know who but they left a video demanding I bring the money to the warehouse district near the

piers of Darkwater tonight. They want Fifty Million units or they will kill him. They already hurt him, they broke

his leg. I can still hear his screaming. Ill pay whatever you want.

At this point the Schnee mother sounded hysterical and almost like she was talking another language.

Beth: We will get him. But on one condition.

Willow: Anything. Anything you want.

Beth: He stays with us.

Willow: What?!

Beth: Dont worry, you can still see him but by the sounds of everything he isnt safe there.

Willow: I... Youre right. Youre right. I cant take care of him, Jaques doesnt care, the only people that

seems to be good for him is a servant and two gangsters. I suppose its for the best he stay with you but just
