The following weeks flew by for Kyrain and Nyx as they spent the same amount of time together as they had before save for they were now emotionally invested and not holding how they felt back. They were in a state of bliss and happiness as they had never been in this type of relationship.
Nyx was learning what it meant to actually allow someone to know what she feels and not feel the need to protect herself or have to please anyone through her grace, etiquette, and poise. It was new and exciting for both of them. The only thing that was strange to her and annoying for Kyrain was they were not allowed to live together anymore by direct order of his mother who was adamant about avoiding impropriety or the appearance of impropriety.
They both understood, but they still texted and talked about things that they had always felt before was prying too much. Then before she knew it, they got the clearance from the doctor and the program to take a new job and they were more than ready to do something after being on leave for so long.
"We have two options." Kyrain said shifting over to let Nyx see.
She looked at both of the bounties in their local area. One had the last known location in Clarksville and the other was in Oak Grove.
"Why not both? They are both level 1 bounties." She said looking over at him as he nodded.
"Or we can do both." He agreed as he selected both and they scanned their IDs
"This dude is wanted for going too close to a school." Kyrain said pointing at the Clarksville bounty.
"I have a personal problem with people that mess with children and are predators. Can we do this one first?" KyrIn asked.
Nyx read the ticket and nodded.
They tossed the contracts into her back back as Kyrain scrolled through google maps for a suitable location when he had an idea.
He opened a rift to Walmart where they bought a hat and yellow vests. Nux giggled at the simplicity of the idea and she hoped it worked.
They got a few empty boxes, tapped them up, and put a label on them before they found the last known address of Reed Richardson.
Kyrain checked the address then rolled his eyes.
"The guy is a moron. He has an address near a school. Should have gotten far away from the schools. Oh well." He said as he opened a rift behind a house across from the last known address. Nyx stayed behind and jumped to a nearby roof to watch Kyrain.
Kyrain casually strode up to the address as if it were something he did daily. He placed the box on the porch, pulled his phone and pretended to take a picture as a real delivery person does then began to walk back where he dipped back out of sight then on the roof where Nyx was watching and they waited.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
It wasn't long before a man matching their suspect stepped out and grabbed the box.
"There is no way it is that easy?" Nyx said putting her head down on the shingles in disbelief.
Kyrain laughed scratched her back and got up, dusting himself off. They took their vests off and put their masks on.
"Why not? We can start on the other job sooner rather than later. While I was there I peeped into the window. You want to do the honors?" Kyrain said as he opened a rift directly into the man's living room.
Nyx casually walked in followed by Ky.
"Kitchen." Kyrain said as he strode around the corner to the man sitting at the table with an empty box.
"Reed Richardson. We are Hunters Erebus and Eon. You're under arrest for violation of a court order." Nyx said calmly.
The man jumped up and tried to sprint away from the house only to move in slow motion and Nyx distorted his time. She calmly walked over and put the reinforced cuffs on him both hands and ankles with the chains right before Kyrain dropped him into a cell at the sheriff's office before they walked through themselves.
"Erebus. Eon. Been a bit. Good to see you both again." The deputy watching the holding cells said from behind his plexiglass window.
"It has been a while. We have Reed Richardson." Nyx said sliding the contract under the window.
"He needs his rights read to him, but that should be case closed." Nyx said happily.
"Yes ma'am. We will take it from here. Good work as always." The deputy
With a flick of his wrist Kyrain and Nyx were gone.
They stepped out over in Oak Grove next to the church his family always went to just across the Tennessee - Kentucky border.
This next bounty wouldn't be that hard, but they had to be careful as the profile said the man was extremely scrappy with his charged being for aggravated assault and needed to be brought down.
Kyrain and Nyx were rather excited for this bounty as this was the highest of the Level 1 threats they had access to.
Kyrain and Nyx took one step into the road when they the explosions began and the earth began to rumble. They looked across over the houses and saw numerous clouds of smoke and fire and lights burning their way down from the sky.
Ky was already on the phone dialing his uncle.
"No answer from Uncle Mitch! We need to move!" Kyrain had time to get out before he'll truly broke loose and even bigger explosions and the sounds of combat could be heard all across the neighborhood.
Kyrain looked back at the church just as the front exploded outward and people to be tossed out by three individuals clad in black armor. Adventurers were rushing in, but were immediately repelled by aether claws that seemed to drip blood.
Kyrain and Nyx began to move when a slender man ripped his way out of the debris golden aether flashing to light around him and a righteous fury written across his face.
"You will not harm these people any more! Came a shout with that of a lions roar that dispersed the blood claws. Then bands of light flicked out lashing the warriors hands and feet together before a final band lashed itself around their neck and forced them to the ground as Nyx and Kyrain arrived weapons drawn.
Their fast approach drew the attention of the man who turned on them hands up ready to respond to further threats, until he saw the masks. The light dimmed and he looked around.
"Hunters, you seem like you are about to have a lot of problems. I'll get medical attention for these people if you can take these people away?" He said.
Nyx nodded and looked toward Kyrain who pulled two sets of cuffs then pulled one of Nyx's set and locked down the people in black before he dropped them into a rift that led to the local jail....or used to.
When he dropped them into the rift, the jail was in rubble and more combat could be heard.
"Kyrain, what do we do?" Nyx said.
Thinking quickly Kyrain opened a new rift, but this time to the Clarksville jail, but found it in the same state of ruin. Then quickly he opened a rift to the Seattle jail which he found in one piece. He dropped the men in the cells with a brief explanation before they tore a rift back to Clarksville to begin to help out more.
They needed to understand what was happening.
