Hell's Games
Ep1
"A wave of brutal mafia attacks has left a trail of devastation, claiming the lives of many innocent civilians and crippling many others. Citizens are furious yet the authority remain-"
The TV is shut off by a single flick of the remote by the uniform-clad man.
Koen
Leth, if you have got time to waste your work hours pandering over some clickabait news report, you ought to help me deal with the protesters first
Lethia
*her eyes flutter with defiance*
Lethia
Sir, I look up to you as my senior and guardian. The people, the ones we serve are endangering their lives simply by living on these streets while we as their protectors are slacking off work by pretending everything is fine??!
Lethia
Sir! If anything I should be asking you that if we have the power to quell these daily protests, can't we conquer over the streets at night too?
Lethia
*her voice is filled with earnest rage*
Lethia
Sir, just give me a cha-
Koen
Cadet Lethia, as your superior I am giving you orders. If you continue to disobey, I will mark it as insubordination and you know what it means
Koen
*speaks with a stern face and voice*
Koen
We have gone over these ideals of yours quite a few times already and I am tired of it
Lethia
*silently clenches her fists*
(If only I was more useful, I wouldn't have to live while forsaking my principles)
The near-silence of the police office room was just the calm before the storm
Just as Lethia is about to stride downstairs, a large bang shatters the glasses in their floor, a shard hitting Koen's leg
Koen
*cold sweat runs down his body*
Koen
Lethia take cover it seems li-
Lethia
Ahh...who are you two?
Ep2
As the smoke swirled and cleared, a chiseled figure emerged, his piercing eyes illuminated by the faint light. With a confident stride, he stepped forward, his charismatic presence commanding attention amidst the haze. Lowering his glasses he spoke
？？？
Is this the girl you have been swooning over, Calix? Not my type, but she ain't all that bad
Lethia
(Who are they? Terrorists? The mafia? To think they will openly attack the police headquarters! I need to call my superiors)
Koen
The guns....you two couldn't be from the...
？？？
*Extends a hand to Lethia*
？？？
I am your brother-in-law, Ha-
Calix swiftly swapped away the hand, contrary to his rather slow walk while dusting off the ruins on him
Calix
*gives a look of overwhelming anger at Lethia*
Just as Koen regained his strength, he went over to Lethia to shield her from these 2 dangerous men.
Koen
I have a gun with me! You 2 better surrender or I might shoot
？？？
The police, always so incompetent. You "might" shoot? Hah! *He points a gun back at Koen*
？？？
You heard the bang earlier, wanna bet on whether I "might" shoot or not?
Suddenly a group of police personnel that were called over by Lethia burst open through the main door
Lethia
Hands up! Anyone who defies will be shot without hesitation!
With a clean sweep of her hand, Lethia takes her gun and points it at Calix
Calix shot out a cold glance at Lethia, like burning ice. Full of hatred yet it all seems so distant. It almost makes Lethia hesitate for a second.
The police, covered in their bullet-proof suit march forwards to surround them
？？？
Calix! You never told yours this feisty. I like those types but this isn't the best time for that. Jump back with me Calix
Koen
You are surrounded from all sides, you think you are going to survive the jump from the 3rd floor?
Lethia
(this man...Calix? The name isn't familiar but he looks almost like-)
？？？
I survived armless in front of scores of thugs, you think a simple fall is going to kill me? You police who stay in AC rooms all day can't really comprehend the extents of the human body....
Calix
*Grabs Lethia as she is distracted by her thoughts and jumps off backwards through the entrance they came from*
？？？
.... especially when it comes to love
Lethia
ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU WILL MAKE US BOTH FALL TO DEATH!!!!
The protesters on the ground cushion their impact as Calix hugs Lethia tight enough to not hit her head
Calix
You call me crazy? That's right. I am crazy for you, Vukasini
Koen watches from above as his trusted comrade, Lethia is kidnapped from him and pulled to her death. The police scurry down while he sits still
Koen
Damn...the fcking Mafia! I stayed out of all this just for her and now they dare to even take her from me?
Koen
*Watches with bloodshot eyes as Calix and his friend evade the police and take her with them*
Ep3
The elegant facade of the pub exuded an air of sophistication, its polished brass handle and etched glass windows hinting at the refined atmosphere within. Inside, the soft glow of table lamps cast a warm ambiance
It's the common meeting place of the Mafia called the Tigers of Leonhart
The bartender: Ah! Would you like the regulars, miss?
The woman glided into the pub with the silent confidence of a predator, her high ponytail a glossy finish to the finesse of her black suit
？？？
I will take the Black widow's bite, with a bit more lemon than usual
Bartender: Just one? It seems like you are alone today, huh?
A pair of hands slithered unnoticed, through her waist, sweeping in for an intimate hug. The woman's locks fell sloppily on her shoulders
？？？
It seems like, today's not the day I get to be alone
？？？
*her eyelashes flutter back*
？？？
You managed to live again, Estelle?
Estelle
Unfortunately so. How can I die when you and Kaiser are still alive?
The rugged figure next to Estella sits down on the stool, placing a hand on her shoulders as he stares for a brief moment in her eyes, a fleeting look of worry that is soon replaced by his usual chatter
Kaiser
I told you to let me deal with those money stealing crooks, why did you have to get involved? I know you don't like fighting and now see?!
Kaiser
*he scrunches his eyebrows with worry*
Kaiser
You got a wound down your arm! What if it turns into a scar?
Kaiser
*traces his finger down her arm*
Estelle
*teasingly* What if it does? It would fit right in with the others
Kaiser
But it also scars my heart when you get hurt like that! *softens his eyes at her*
Estelle
How does that even make sense! I know I am smarter than you but that doesn't mean you have to be the dumbest person ever!
？？？
*Places a hand on Estelle* Stop it
？？？
Our drinks are already here. Est, he is right tho. He shouldn't have been this blunt but, leave the fighting to me and Kaiser
？？？
You have your own role and you excel in it
？？？
*smiles at Estelle softly*
Kaiser
Yea teach her, Rouxi.....she never listens to me anyway *droops down*
Rouxi
You aren't any better, Kaiser. Do you know how single you make me feel when you 2 go about your banter every day, every night??!!
Estelle
WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!
Kaiser
We're single too *smirks*
As they settled in, the whispers began to circulate. Eyes darted toward the trio, filled with a mixture of suspicion and a generous dose of fear, as if the very presence of these 3 was a harbinger of chaos and upheaval.
Woman 1: "I heard the Snakes raided the district police headquarters"
Woman 2: "And here we are, stuck in a corner! The Snakes are fewer in numbers than us.....and I heard a rumor, their leader is as young as our Heiress!"
Man1: *grunts* As young as her and much more competent. Yet the old fools favor her over Rouxi. She is as young as her and twice the successful. I heard she took down a whole block just by herself once! Such dashing power!
Man2: I know right? She maintains such an air of mystery also!
Suddenly a loud bang bursts open the door, a single injured cop at its doorsteps. Koen, frail and bloody, lifts over his police batch in one hand.
Sensing the impending chaos, Rouxi and Kaiser dash to the man, their pistols a mere centimetre from piercing through the man's nape.
Estelle
(A single unarmed cop reached our pub? It's impossible to penetrate through our layers even if you are the Prime Minister himself....unless you know how the Mafia works. Could he be someone from the Glaciali? No....this isn't their style....)
Koen
*smirks through the blood dripping from his head* You can't kill me even if you wanted to anyway
Kaiser
Are you crazy, man!? Stel! Let me just kill him, he seems to be missing a few bolts in his he-
Koen
*throws over an intricately designed coin, a single symbol on it*
Koen
Dogs like you shouldn't be talking when your owners are. Estelle, was it? I trust you understand what this means
Estelle
(he knows my name and that coin.....is the Heiress getting this desperate?)
Estelle
(it's unmistaken, that coin can only be used by the Heiress and the executives, out of 4 we 3 are already here)
Rouxi
Est, let me do the honours
