PLASMUS- The Ghostly Assassin

Chapter 1- Deadly Arrival

In the light of the day, as the sun shines bright, its golden rays glisten across the wide surface of the river, which stretches forward and curves to its right, there is a wide range of life because of the huge bridge crossing the river, right before the curve. At the starting point of the bridge, there is an oncoming intersection which curves in unison with the river. Right next to the intersection is a row of trees and grass the trees stem from, and across the river on the other side of the bridge, much more trees are aligned with a wider outreach with some closer to the water than others. Looking on further from the trees, there's a huge rectangular building, which is at the end of the bridge and across from it stands smaller rectangular buildings with bigger buildings right behind these smaller buildings, ranging in different shapes and with one at the further right, reading 'Philadelphia City Hall.'

There is then a main road piercing through the towering buildings, as lively as one anticipates, vehicles moving to and fro. One oncoming black SUV drives and slows down in front of one of the buildings, eventually stopping. The driver steps out, dressed in a butler outfit, black hair and a bow, and walks to the passenger's door, opening it. Out of the car climbs a man in an expensive black and white suit, red tie and a silver watch. He is caucasian with short dark hair, trimmed beard and blue eyes. He walks to the entrance of the building followed by his driver. As he is walking in, there are people all around, he walks to a hallway and turns right, entering an elevator followed by his driver.

As the elevator door closes, out of all the people moving around, there is one standing at the end of the hallway, he has on a huge brown jacket with long collars, covering some of his face, with his brown eyes watching as the elevator door closes. He is caucasian as well with dark brown hair and pulls out a cell phone and looks at the screen and a picture of the man who entered the elevator is on the screen and it reads, 'Target Acquired'. The man puts his phone in his left pocket, then looks at the time on his watch and enters another elevator which is just ten meters from the other one. He is alone in the elevator and is standing upright, facing forward as the doors close, with a serious expression showing lethal intent on his face.

In the other elevator, the man in the suit stands next to his driver as the elevator is moving up. It stops and five people enter, a man and woman with a child, no older than eight, and two other men. The man, woman and child are caucasian and dressed like any average citizen with middle-class attire, while the two men are of darker skin color and dressed in jackets and jeans. Both pairs of groups are talking to each other and stand at either side of the suited man and his driver/guard as the elevator doors close. One of the darker skinned men shows the other something in a news paper he's holding, and on the cover it reads; 'Range of Unresolved Murders Remain Unresolved' with the date June 2015.

The little girl shouts at the woman, 'Mom! It smells in here!'

The mother reacts immediately, yanking the little girl by her hand and looking down at her with eyes slightly widened and lips biting together, 'Adeline! Mind your manners!'

The man's face is red and he looks down, and this is when the suited man looks at him. The stare lasts long enough for the man to realize and look up then turn to the suited man.

'Something I can help you with?' asks the man.

'As a matter of fact, yes. Get your family in line' answers the suited man.

'Excuse me?' the man and woman both answer together, with the rest of the people in the elevator now looking.

'You heard me. If a man can't keep his own family in check, then his manhood is questionable in every aspect of his life.'

The little girl looks with whimpering eyes at her father, while the mother's mouth is hanging and the two men with the newspaper look to each other and then to the other men arguing.
