Enforcers - Chapter 101

Age 1991

The old woman let out a deep breath as she took an intake on her cigarette. She placed it down in the ashtray next to her as she stared at the two Enforcers in front of her. “Where to began. The story of Tobias Cl.u.s.ter…” She said slowly as a sigh escaped her lips.

“Who exactly was Tobias?” Sera asked slowly. “I get that he was your son right? But who was he? Why was he in three videos where he apparently killed three girls-”

“Allegedly!” The woman spat out.

“Right… Allegedly killed.” Sera said nodding her head.

“Have you seen these videotapes?” Ren questioned the woman.

“Of course I have.” The woman spat out. “That damn son of mine is in four…”

“Four?”

The old woman nodded her head. “Yes. He appears in four of those God Damn tapes. The first three is a lot more obvious… You see him clear as day running after a woman, then a picture of her corpse. In the first three the pictures only shows the dead woman. The fourth one though… That was when the first sack of flesh pops up. That was my son… Tobias.”

“I…I’m sorry for your loss…” Rem said slowly reaching out a placing a hand on the woman’s shoulder.

“I’m sure someone is.” The said practically spitting out. She took a deep breath once more as she steadied herself. “Tobias is a weird lad, but he was a SuperHuman.”

“How do you know that?” Sera questioned. “I mean clearly you’re just a normal human?”

“And my piece of shit, late husband was also a normal human.”

“The chances of two normal humans having a child who is a SuperHuman is even rarer…” Sera said suspiciously as she stared at the old woman.

“Well he was.” The old woman said simply.

“What was his Attribute then? Every normal humans Attribute is always something basic, where as SuperHumans, have over the top powers.” Sera said slowly. “So what was his power?”

The old woman took a small intake as she took a few minutes to say something. There was a small moment of silence that passed over the three. “It was a bone based ability.”

“Bone based?” Rem said curiously.

“Yes… But Tobias was never good at using it… For most of his life he thought he didn’t have a power…”

“Why?”

“Because I told him he didn’t.”

“Why!”

“I can’t say…”

Sera stared at the woman in baffelment. “I hope you know that sounds really, really suspicious… Besides. Just because he has some bone ability that doesn’t make him a SuperHuman. Also how would he have not noticed his powers at all? That doesn’t make any sense? You’re story has some holes init…”

“If you don’t believe me, than that’s your problem. Go check the local hospital-” The woman seemed to stop for a moment as she went silent. “Nevermind… You’ll just need to take my word on it.” She said simply.

“Okay. We’ll do that.” Rem said slowly as she was deep in thought. “What makes your son special?”

“Honey trust me. He was born special-”

“…That wasn’t quite what I meant…” Rem stated giving the old woman a deadpan stare as she shook her head. “What I meant to say is why is your son the only person who is apparently in four different videos. Not to mention that in the first there videos he apparently doesn’t die, and the woman is the only one who dies… Why is that the case with only your son. In every other tape according to the cops, the man running after the girls is, always the sack of meat in the pictures. Of course, those meat sacks, don’t appear until the fourth picture which you are claiming is your son Tobias… Of course, we are just taking the words of all the cops since we don’t have any bodies to look at, since the cops are just getting evidence from the Nobles…”

“Ha… You’re a fool if you trust those Nobles…”

“I beg your pardon?” Sera said raising an eyebrow. “I take some offense to that…”

“I don’t care. What I was saying is you shouldn’t trust those particular brand of Nobles… The Báthory family is a family of devils… There is a reason this damn hellhole we call a city is run down. Those Nobles are probably behind all of this. They let this city fall to hell… They are greedy, sick folks. Every generation they get worse, and worse… Sirius Báthory. The current head of the family. He is by far the worst of them all.”

“Wait… How do you know the Nobles are bad?” Rem questioned as she leaned forward.

“Those Nobles…” The old woman made a small snarl for a second. “They came for my boy Tobias. Of course, I hate Tobias, but still… Those idiots. They wanted a new plaything… Now… Well now they unleashed a monster on this city. A monster that will keep killing until its bloodl.u.s.t is satisfied. And I reckon it’ll take the death of this whole damn world to satisfy that l.u.s.t…”

“Are you sure the Nobles are dangerous?” Rem said alarmed.

“Absolutely. It ain’t no secret…” The old woman hissed out as she folded her arms. “Whole city will tell you the same thing… Those Nobles are bad.”

Rem stood up quickly as she turned to Sera. “Ken, and Hero are heading towards the Nobles!” She said with a small amount of worry in her voice. “I don’t want them being near those people by themselves if there is even a small chance that they are dangerous!”

The old woman let out a small laugh. “You screwed up if you left some people alone with that family.”

The two Enforcers ignored her as they quickly made their way to the door. They both quickly left leaving the woman’s home. The old woman in question watched them leave as she gave a small smile.

“Damn fools.”
