Fan Fiction ❯ Eternal Rain ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

Prologue:

It was a miserable night to be on the streets of Hong Kong, the humid air, like a hot towel clamped to your face. The heavy rain, clattering like stones on the pavement, and the deep rolls of thunder, echoing overhead like an immense dragon baying with rage. With the stars and moon veiled behind the bloated clouds, the older streets, and less used alleys were dark, as much of the night, as the lightless sky above.

In one of these a figure stood. His black cloths melting with the shadows, his long black hair, hanging loose reaching past his shoulders, a good portion of which hid his face. Hidden here, he was totally invisible to the rest of the world. He stood unmoving, his tall and muscular figure undefined in the night, and there he waited, staring out of the monsters mouth that was the alley, at the brightly lit restaurant opposite, decorated in the typical china town style, too much gold enamel and red dragon carvings. The typical red wooden awning extending over the pavement, giving brief shelter from the rain, to any soul walking that way tonight.

A black Mercedes Benz rounded a corner down the road, and cruised up the road pulling to a gentle stop in front of the restaurant. The rear door opened and the occupant stepped out. Dressed in the finest Armani suit money could by, his short spiky hair, as ivory white as his clothes. He stood for a moment, and turned to look about him, a concerned expression distorting his perfect facial futures. He smirked and shock his head, turned and walked in through the gilded restaurant doors.

In the alley the figure stepped forward. His jaw became illuminated in red, as a clubs neon sign flicked on. It smiled. The smile of a man who has found the one thing he had spent his life searching for. In one motion he pulled a small black phone from his pocket and hit the speed dial. The phone rang once and was answered.

"I've found him."

In that moment, he remembered everything that had brought him there.
