The Deal with the Devil, or maybe just Alex

MB did not like the situation one bit, "I'll never work for you."

"Then I guess your daughter doesn't have long to live," Alex shrugged. "Or maybe I could leave her alive just..." He paused, "No I really shouldn't, but it'd be so much fun."

"What are you babbling about?" MB demanded.

Alex turned back to face him, "Well in the old times they, when they had captured these people. They used to rape the daughters and wives in front of the men and then kill them all. Your wife is already did, but I bet I'd have lots of volunteers for your beautiful daughter."

Victor snorted in disgust, "How can they possibly have agreed to let you work with them? You're are monster Alex."

Alex grinned evilly, "I think that's something all three of us agree on. Now then don't make me bring your son up Victor, I still can find him. How is none of your concern." Victor was silenced, "Now then MB, I know you won't do it for simply letting your daughter live unharmed, let me hear it."

"First is as you said. She remains hands off for your thugs."

Alex nodded, "Next?"

"She is given good food and shelter and clothing."

Alex sighed as if it was a big concession, "Okay."

"Finally," MB continued. "I want to be able to see her at least once a week."

"Don't press your luck MB," Alex considered for a moment. "Done. Now swear it."

MB swore it. Alex grinned and handed them a folder, "Your way isn't working Victor. Time for them all to die or be brought in. Advances in science have allowed them to neutralize none ascended powers in a radius around a device." He handed them each a gun and some things that resembled clips. "Your new guns emit electric charges that should knock out anything and I mean anything. Shooting it more than once could be fatal, but don't hesitate to do it if the first doesn't stop it. This," He said holding the clips. "Is a power cell. Each one should allow for at least six shots and they have adapters that you can charge in any electric outlet. That's why you only get two each. One for the gun and one to charge, charging takes only a few minutes."

"Where did this gun come from?" Victor asked. "It looks familiar."

"Thank Jared for that," Alex smirked. "They found the prototype on him, it had to be modified of course he didn't use a power pack. The folder contains a list of people to bring in." They both stood there for a minute, "Go on then."
