Issue #5

     Jin looked at everyone in the room and could tell they were still angry that he had taken over 3 hours to call them into the meeting room because he was watching a basketball game while on the job. He gulped and started to explain why he called a meeting today. “Look the point of this meeting is to try to help the crime rate drop by actually bringing to attention what’s going on in the city instead of getting pressured to do fluff pieces if you’re here that means you believe in the journalist system if you’re here that means you understand that something needs to be done because for too long we let the criminals run free our in streets while we tipped toed around like a bunch of scared children but I say no more so we need to start being more fearless with our journalism,” Jin explained as everyone in the room nodded.

Jin walked through the room and he sat the piece of paper in front of everyone at the table. “These pieces of paper will help us. It will tell us how we should get the attention of the city to actually make a change,” Jin said as Sabrina raised her hand. Jin nods acknowledging that her hand was raised and allowing her to take the floor. “There is someone out there challenging the criminals,” she said. Jin crossed his arms as Martin stayed quiet looking at her Micheal looked over at Martin because he sort of had a bad feeling. “You’re talking about this new vigilante?” Jin asked raising an eyebrow. Sabrina nodded because she believed he was making a difference in the city even though he was a newcomer but to her, it didn’t matter because things started to change a bit since he appeared on the scene.

“For example last night he stopped four bank robbers not one or two but FOUR bank robbers who were armed I should add and he stopped them. Today he stopped two guys who stole an 18-wheeler with value supplies in it so to see this kid is making an impact is an understatement,” Sabrina explained as Micheal nodded his head agreeing with Sabrina. “So what are you saying?” he asked. “Mr. Kuro, what I’m saying is we report on him stopping crimes showing the city that we the media are behind him and that will help generate change in the city because right now about of stories won’t get the city’s attention but if they see one guy who’s taking a stand against the criminals in the city then they’ll have to listen,” she said as everyone nodded smiling liking her idea. Martin stood up. “I think that’s a splendid idea and I will contribute as well since I have the money and pull I will go down to the government building to talk to Mayor Sudachi about dealing with crime as well because he’s obviously not gonna ignore us because we have a figure who’s taking on crime and we are showing that he has our support thanks to Sabrina here I’m gonna make sure the Mayor knows if he’s not gonna deal with the crime rate then we’ll deal with it,” Martin explained.

Jin nodded. “I like it and I’m gonna assign you all places to report on because this new vigilante will most likely stop crime in next,” he said as he wrote on everyone’s pieces of paper where he wanted everyone to report from. Micheal whispers to Sabrina about Martin. “Sabrina look we might need to stay clear of Martin I don’t think he’s wrapped too tight,” he whispered to her as she looked at him confused because she didn’t see a problem with Martin because he’s a millionaire’s son yet he still cares about the crime rate of the city so to her he was a good guy. “Micheal he doesn’t that bad to me,” she whispered back to him as he facepalmed himself because he knew something was off about the guy. “Sabrina he might not seem bad now but I’m telling you something’s up with him I saw it as he was speaking with you about the vigilante you gotta trust me on this Sabrina,” Micheal explained in a whisper tone.

Martin stood up because he got a text from his father’s company and he knew when his father’s company messaged him that meant it was time to get to the building which he hated because his father Mister Parker treats him like a kid even though he’s an adult. When Martin is at the company running it his father wants him to do certain things in a way that makes Martin feels as if his father doesn’t trust him at all and that hurts him deep inside. “I’m sorry everyone I’m gonna have to leave the company meaning my dad needs me so see you around everyone but I am gonna go to the Mayor’s office as I said though,” he said as he grabbed the piece of paper and exited the room. Sabrina looked back at Micheal. “See? He’s not that bad Micheal,” she said patting Micheal’s back as he glared at the door. Micheal wasn’t buying Martin’s so-called “Good Guy,” act as he called it but to the others, Martin seemed to be a down to Earth guy.

Usagi was in the backyard with empty cans of soda set beside each other on boxes as he started stretching because he decided to target practice so the next time he deals with criminals that his aim won’t be off. He took a couple of deep breaths before getting started. Usagi started to spawn a bunch of arrows made out of his blood and started shooting them at each of the targets thinking they were real people on the last two he created a bloody rope and did a flip to tie up the last two cans and smirk because he started thinking how badass he was for doing that. “Gotcha,” Usagi said to himself as he smiled very satisfied with his progress.
