Chapter 3

I was sitting at my desk when a small vision of Celina appeared in front of me, “the first three are here sir,” three folders appeared in front of me waving my hand over each I raised my eyebrows so, he was here, he was of age I guess.

“Seat them in the waiting room, for now.” I told her, I could see she was concerned but did as I asked. Within half an hour all 20 had appeared and were sitting in the room waiting for whatever they were expecting.

As I walked in I saw they were disappointed, good they were about to learn the hard way not to judge too quickly. I heard several laugh and stand to walk out, many grumbling they thought they were being taught by a great, if not the greatest enforcer of all time.

Smiling I let them get half way to the door feeling their feeble repulse spells between me and them. Suddenly all 20 were frozen in place, the look of shock on their faces was by far the best laugh I’d had all week.

“I am Tyrome Greenstick,” I told all of them, almost all their faces donned a horrified look, oh yeah they knew who I was. “This was your first lesson; NEVER think that your opponent is weak or powerless. Always assume you are going against another strong if not AS strong as you. This one thing can save your live more than anything you can do, now then, if you are through acting like idiots, we can go on with the rest of the day’s lesson.”

I started then out on drills to try and increase their power, I had to admit they were as low as I’d felt since I was in school. Shuddering that was a memory I did NOT want to go or even accidently wander down. I felt them start to get stronger not much hell that would have been a miracle but enough that I knew that I wasn’t dealing with a bunch of push overs. Good I thought the real work would start tomorrow, when we finished I saw they were sweating bullets, again good I thought ‘bout time they got some real work.

“Alright,” I said calling it for the day, “back here again tomorrow, remember what I said, be aware of everything, ya never know when there might be another out for ya.” I watched them go, I sure hoped I didn’t get them all killed, though they had increased another 5%, a couple of drops though not much, were a couple of drops.

I told Celina I’d see her tomorrow and headed out, I was only a block from the office when I felt a watcher tailing me. Now what I thought hadn’t anyone learned about me yet? What, did they think I was a newbie? I led my watcher on a merry chase, damn this ass was good, I hadn’t lost him yet, this one was of a quality like the council used. Stopping in an alley I awaited the watcher to catch me, sure enough he thought I had taken a short cut, I grabbed her as soon as she rounded the corner.

“I don’t know who sent you, nor do I care. I’m in a pretty foul mood right now and really don’t feel like fucking with you. Start talking and if I don’t like what I hear you’re done.” I growled.

“Damn Tyrome! Scare a girl to death!” Was the first thing out of her mouth looking closer I saw who it was.

“Cloe! What in the hell are you doing? I could have killed you!” I almost shouted then realized where we were.

“As if,” she smirked, “you’re strong I’ll give you that but I still have the edge on you.”

I smiled yeah she was right there, (another of those tight assed women, um, um) “Still thinking with your member I see.” Reaching down she began to rapidly massage me through my pants. “I should’ve gotten more of this, damn it figures Cynthia’d get her claws into you first, along with various other body parts.” Sighing she pulled a scroll, “This is an official case, an odd one that has never been solved, hell should have given it to you 100 years ago, oh well live and learn.” Leaning close she whispered, “I’ll be by in the next few days, Cynthia won’t shut up about how much you filled her, I’m going to find out.”

Poof with that she was gone faster than a bad memory. Damn it! Now she’d gone and worked me all up and I had nowhere to relieve it! Thinking there had to be someone, sighing I realized no, there was no one, hadn’t been in a while, not with Cynthia trying to drain me every second of the day.

Tyrome walked back home sticking the scroll in his pocket, god he was tired training these pups, took a lot more than he thought. Entering his building he saw that none of his wards had been disturbed, opening his door to the empty apartment he sighed. It was going to take a little getting used to no one here when he got home, damn he thought I need sex. Waving his hand over the phone book he searched for the one woman for tonight. Damn!

Nothing that even half peeked his interest damn all I need is a piece of ass come on! All the women he’d sex with over the years and not a damn one could or would tonight, they were all in other, cities other dimensions, dead, (ugh not even going there) or just plain still pissed as hell at him. Opening the scroll with a sigh his eyes got wide when he started reading, then he started laughing, so hard in fact he fell off the bed.

<Hey Cloe!> he thought.

<I’m busy!> came her angry reply.

<As if! Get your ass and the council’s ready, I’ll have this little shit in under two hours, > Tyrome thought.

<WHAT!? this case has been unsolved for 200 years!> she cried.

<As I said, be ready I should have the creep soon.> Tyrome laughed as he disconnected.

Sighing Tyrome changed clothes and headed out, almost an hour later he was on the other side of the city. Keenly aware of everything something wasn’t right about this he cast 3 more wards, walking up to a wall he waved his hand then walked through. The place got creepily quiet when he walked in, the bouncer walked up to him, “Hey! you’re not welcome in here, the last time you were here it cost a fortune to repair the place.”

Looking straight into the bouncer’s eyes Tyrome replied, “then you shouldn’t have tried to touch me, you know the rules besides I am retired, somewhat.”

“Hmmm retired huh? So you’re not an enforcer anymore? I can throw you out if I want? The large hulking creature said.

“Well you’re welcome to try but remember the last time I was only at half strength now I am full. So you still wanna try?” I smiled hard at the brute, “besides I am only here for a pick-up if no one gets in my way then ... no one dies agreed?”

The brute smiled back, “yeah we’ll see.”

I looked around the joint ‘til I spotted a spot on the wall at a booth way in the back. Smiling I thought they always did it the hard way. I walked up to the table looked at all those there and motioned for everyone to leave then I just sat. I could feel my quarry trying not to breathe too hard; I felt his eyes dart to every exit.

“I know you’re here Rankle, I also know that you can’t escape me, you give me what I want, and I won’t gut you.” I threatened.

A whispering voice trembled and said, “sure whatever you want Tyrome.”

“Good, where’s your brother? I know he’s close by, he has to be, you guys are never more than a hundred yards apart.” I growled to show I wasn’t playing.

“In the back, please Tyrome, don’t kill him you already got me mom, and pa he’s all I got left.” Rankle cried.

“No, not this time! I slugged Rankle knocking him out, picking him up I walked out, more than several staring hard at me.

I only had to wait a minute for Cankle to burst out the door, freezing him the look on his face was priceless. Too bad the deal hadn’t included his gang, diving I took out the first three, setting my wards to maximum I placed all five under, above, behind, and on each side of me, idiots thought I was that green, I took five more with the wards hmmm that’s seven where were the other ... ah! Aiming I blew another away.

“Alright this is your only chance to leave, I am Tyrome Greenstick if you haven’t guessed your boss is going away for a long time. Go find another to work for or stay and die no skin off my nose but you will die. You’ve got five ... four ... three ... two,” I heard them running terrified back into the building. Smiling I waited for the council, looking at my watch, hmmm hour and a half not bad.

A few minutes later they were all there including Cloe (damn was she pissed). Bowing I read off the charges and pointed to Cankle then Rankle explaining the how and why of how they’d done the job. All but the elder were sitting with their mouths open.

“Excellent job, this has been a bother to the council for a while, thank you.” the elder said.

Bowing again I saw that Cloe was staring at me more intensely, I felt like a side of beef being stared at by a hungry mob. “Though next time you might want to make a general call for the council.”

Smirking I replied, “Elder she has nothing, and has done nothing that I haven’t seen before, though I must admit she has learned a few new moves.” I heard a few of the younger council members snicker, out of the corner of my eye I saw Cloe blush, GOOD!

All of the council flashed out except Cloe, “that was cruel Tyrome!”

“Cruel?! No this,” I said as I gently massaged her taunt breasts and nipples, then lightly rubbed her crotch feeling her heat increase as well as her breath. Then I just stopped and backed up, “that is cruel you remember that the next time you play with me woman. I can dish it out just as well as you!” Turning I left her frustrated, panting, and wet there in the street with her mouth hanging open, she wasn’t the only one who could be a bitch!
