The blast and the meeting

It was midnight of winter, in between the silent wood there was a warm light coming from the windows of a huge building, in the mid of silent night loud noises were being heard from every corner of the building, Suddenly the building had a blast the sound of blast echoed through the silent forest.

It was nothing less than a miracle a young boy rises from the ashes of the building dusting himself and looking all the directions as if thinking of which is the right direction.

And wakes Andrew to this dream, He is a tall fair guy with fade for hair in his mid-twenty living alone. He sweats because of the dream he saw he could not figure it out who was that kid, yet he feels nostalgic seeing the kid rise from the ashes. Andrew gets off his bed and checks the clock, it halfway the night, He walks towards the fridge to get some water and starts to think of that kid, but he cannot remember who he is, He gets angry on fact he forgot, and he couldn't differentiate if it really happened, or it's just a dream, he then walks to the mirror to check his face he sees his back in mirror. He looks at his scars on the back wondering when did he get them.

He pulls out his knife which was 6 inches long and washes the blood off it in the sink and thinks to himself, that he has to sleep as he has to meet his owner in the morning for a job and get backs to his sleep.

Next morning Andrew wakes up and gets ready quick and rushes out and head to a place of small crime syndicate who calls themselves Ghost Hand , which has great influence but is not able to generate revenue off crimes, It is a shabby place with very few people, He was stopped at the entrance, but he smacks the guy who is bulkier than him and entered inside, everyone was yelling at Andrew for smacking the guy at the entrance to floor, and suddenly everyone got silent, and they seemed to tremble in fear, as a silhouette appears to walk into the light and sits on the throne he is the most feared and fallen lord of ghost hand His name is Simon.

Simon looks at Andrew and asks him if he has a death wish as he walked into Simon's territory, to which Andrew replied "the ghost hand seems to have fallen bad,, and you aim to enter politics you would really need a ghost hand which does all the killing for you without a second thought". Simon laughs at the reply. To which angry Andrew walks to the guy he smacked earlier and pulls his knife out and stabs him in the neck and slowly slides it across the neck to slit open the throat in front of Simon.

Looking at his actions Simon let's Andrew join and asks Andrew what will you get from this to which Andrew replied "just protect me from the cops". Simon laughs and agrees.
