Nick trailed them, using the darkest areas to hide, the woman seemed to be in a trance, weak physically and mentally...
'is it some sort of drug?...'
He waited and watched to see the next sequence of events.
the man suddenly spoke "to think you hunting dogs of the Fool's church try to stop us from serving the Great Mother... too bad a beautiful face like you will have to die"
Nick's eyes widen 'hunting dogs of the Fool's church?.. could it be one of the Mystery Seekers?.. or perhaps one of the branch organizations?'
Just as the man took out a gun and pointed at the woman...
Bang! a bullet missed his face by an inch 'Tch, i've gotta practice my shooting skills... how do Kevin and Arthur manage it?'
Nick ran around in the darkness as.... Bang! bang! two bullets struck the place he was standing on, while dodging another bullet that came his way he shot back at the twice... surprisingly the man managed to dodge by reacting in time..
'is he a Beyonder?.. damn it! this just got a lot harder' fighting a normal person was easy, however Nick couldn't guess the man's sequence nor his pathway making his abilities much more of a hassle since Nick was unsure if he could counter them, just then as Nick tried to shoot back... click! the revolver was out of ammunition
'damn it!' he tried to reload and took the bullets out of his coat pocket, but the man took the opportunity "gotcha!" he said with a smile as he shot Nick's hand, his revolver fell to the ground.
He hissed "goddamn it!", he tried to lunge at the man as he was sure the man also ran out of bullets however at that moment the man took out a canister and kept it in Nick's way...
