The Psycho's Gem
chap one the fire
"you're more important than all riches of the world... because you're mine"
Hope you guys enjoy this ...😘
A deafening eerie silence and blinding darkness
Breathing ...slow...yet heavy breathing
The little boy opens his eyes, then everything becomes clear
loud noise... blinding lights
A little boy of about five years is running through the smoke. he can't see he can only hear people's screams and running footsteps
He hears his mother scream, then his father shouting ...out of the noise, something crashes...
???
*breathing heavily* Appa...*coughs*
Fire flames are everywhere, the smoke blinds his vision...he can't see anything
Then he sees them, his parents reaching out to him
...
Come, sweetie ... come
???
*reaches out his hand*...
His mother's eyes goes wide...blood comes down between her eyes
Someone is laughing in the dark
...
it's your turn now... little boy
P wakes up, the room is completely dark.
he removes the covers and goes to the bathroom. he splashes water on his face and looks at the mirror
for a moment he sees the reflection of the little boy on the mirror then it's gone.
P
*clenches his jaw* Not again!
then crash goes the mirror
he looks down at his hand, there's already an old scar...now he has a new one and blood is sipping out of it ...
Chap two the Black Swan
A certain man is hosting an exclusive charity gala.
Everyone is dressed beautifully. there's Champaign, music and rich people laughing
Priceless artifacts, paintings and gems are on display.
Amongst everything, one stands out...a black diamond shaped as a Swan ...stands isolated on the middle in a glass case but with a code lock unlike the other items
Everyone is admiring the beautiful items
no one notices the waiters, the bartender or the pretty singer performing on the small stage
Ghost stands beneath the lights, dressed in a shimmering black dress with a cut at the front that's seems to be displaying his beautiful right leg to onlookers
He's singing beautifully microphone in hand but hidden on his earring is a tiny communicator
...
[🔥 fire] Ghost, you're clear.
Ghost doesn't stop singing, instead he looks at the audience and smiles perfectly at them
...
[Cipher 🕸️] I have the code for the case
...
[Cipher 🕸️] Aside from the code there's also a secondary security system on the outside
...
[Mira💥] How come I don't see it?
...
[Cipher 🕸️] Invisible razors
...
[Mama🌸💮] Fire, Can you handle it?
...
[🔥 Fire] by the time Ghost will be up, I'll be done...
...
[Mama💮🌸] Good, Ghost on stand by ...Mira, you're up
Mira walks past a security guard and drops a tray. Wine spills everywhere
...
[Mira 💥]Oh my God! I'm so sorry
The guard helps him, while they are at it... Velvet passes behind them and his hand briefly touches the guard's access card.
...
[Velvet 🩸] Got it! Our exit point
...
[Mama 💮🌸] Cool...Titan...
...
[Mama 💮🌸] Titan, you there...
Titan is at the back of bar
...
[Titan💪] *grunting* sorry...i was just taking care of something
...
[🔥 Fire] You're a bartender ...what the hell are you doing ?
...
[Titan 💪] he pissed me off *presses something*...got it
...
[Mama 💮🌸] perfect ...Ghost, ready for the switch ?
The lights on the stage dims. it happens so fast for the human eye... no one suspects a thing
...
[🔥 Fire] The mansion's secondary security system is off...for ninety seconds
...
[Ghost fox 👻] That's a hell lot of time baby
Ghost disappears into the crowd
...
*watching the Ghosts through binoculars*
Catches the sight of Ghost fox
...
*lowers his binoculars* Hmm!
He feels a complicated pull towards Ghost and that makes him smirk
...
*smirking*I like you...
Ghost looks at the window, for a brief moment ...their eyes are at a level but they do not meet since the distance between them is so great
Ghost reaches the display room, there are people all about...but only one things catches his eyes
Ghost smiles at the sight
...
[Ghost fox 👻] Prize located
...
[Ghost fox 👻] *walking towards the Black Swan*Hmm...
...
[🔥 Fire] We have a problem
...
[Ghost fox 👻] *stops walking*...What ?
...
[🔥 Fire] The system has rebooted...the invisible razors are up again
...
[Ghost fox 👻] I thought you said I have ninety seconds
...
[🔥 Fire] Yeah...but I must have miscalculated
...
[Mama 💮🌸] Argh! Fire, can you focus?
...
[Cipher 🕸️] Ghost you can't sneak it out...the moment your hand gets even the least close to it... it'll trigger the alarm
...
[Ghost fox 👻] Fire, how long does it take after the reboot for you to get back into the system ?
...
[🔥 Fire] It will take at least thirty minutes
...
[Ghost fox 👻] Thirty yes ...but minutes no...I need thirty seconds ...
...
[fire 🔥] that's impossible ...at least 15 minutes
...
[Ghost fox 👻] *clenches his jaw* Seconds ...that's all I need...
...
[Velvet 🩸] Um guys, the host will be in soon...if he comes we loses our chance
...
[Mama 💮🌸] Ghost! Abort...we can come in next time
...
[Ghost fox 👻] No...we are already here ...clients don't wait
Ghost looks up at the ceiling, there's a chandelier..and sprinkler
...
[Ghost fox 👻] Mira ...
...
[Ghost fox 👻]*looks around him* How fast can you start a fire?
...
[Ghost 👻 Fox] let's give these people water...they need a shower
...
[Mira 💥] I would love to but how do you expect me to start a fire ...
...
[Titan 💪] The bar quick...
Mira walks to the bar, Titan steals a lighter from one of the guests and sneaks it to him... Mira smiles and sneaks a table cloth and starts the fire
About twenty seconds later, the fire alarm wails
The guests panic, security scatters.
In the panic, Ghost hands passes through the razors... triggering another alarm, he enters the code before it reboots, removes the Black Swan and replaces it with a replica...all in a matter of seconds
By the time the security reaches it, everything is as it was
...
[Ghost fox 👻] Done...let's go home
The Ghosts disappears like they were never there, leaving no trace. Meanwhile ...outside...they are being watched
The person doesn't follow, he simply smiles
...
finally ...I found the perfect match!
Chap three Shadow
The phantom enters the mansion, it's dark...as always, black curtains are down the lights are off
He walks up the stairs to his study
The lights are off in there as well
He takes off his jacket and goes to the bar...even in the dark, he's able to navigate his way through the room
He has been trained since he was a child to the point that he can walk at night in complete darkness and he can never bump into anything
He looks at the bottles lined up on the bar cabinet...just stares but doesn't take one
...
What did I tell you about entering my space without my permission ?
...
*chuckles* As sharp as always ...
...
What are you doing here?
...
*sighs* the old man sent you
...
He couldn't be here himself ...so he sent me
...
Just to check up on you...you know how he cares about you
...
*pours a drink* Want one?
...
*clenches his jaw* Then I would only be deceiving myself
...
*chuckles* Right...you and your principles
...
So...what did you find ?
...
Any luck with your search
...
You know...I could help you
...
You've been searching for over a year...and you got me nothing
...
I got you people and you denied each one of them
...
Because they are not good enough ....
he presses a button on the bar...and the cabinet is replaced with a screen and right there...is a picture of a club
...
You want to go to that club?
...
*presses another button*...
This time it shows the entire Black Swan heist
...
Is that the Black Swan, ?
...
*chuckles* I'm surprised they escaped your eye
...
*shrugs* Must not be popular
...
Ever heard of the Ghosts ?
...
*blinks* you mean the international criminals?
...
No one knows what they look like...and I've looked for them for a while
...
It's just a bunch of nobodies...no wonder you failed to catch them
...
Wait...the Black Swan is in Ameria...and this club is here in here...in Verales
...
*sighs* They are hiding under your nose and you couldn't even sniff them
...
How come I didn't know anything about this?
he then pauses the recording and zooms on ghost's face
...
Get everyone to work...I need them working for me in 72 hours
...
No...it's actually forever
...
Hmm! *looks at ghost*...They are the Ghosts
...
Why don't you approach them and find out
He raises his glass, downs it and stands
...
I'll take my leave now
...
*walks up to him and kisses him on the cheek* Take care...
He looks at ghost again and smiles
