run into some trouble in Chicago

Hauk paid the lady her money and soon the teleportation washed over him and he landed in Chicago

The moment he left the Chicago station he was greeted with guns pointed at him

“Guess this must of be the welcoming committee” He said

It was 12 men with guns. They weren’t taking any changes. Xerxes came out dress in a mafia don suit and hat. He had several rings on his fingers.

“You look like a fool.” Hauk said

“Just get follow me to the car Hauk. This doesn’t have to get messy” Xerxes said

Hauk decided to play along. He walked with him

“How you know I was here.” Hauk said

“Knew it be only a matter of time. Had people keeping the look out. You took longer then I thought. My men been watching that stations for months” Xerxes said

“I feel real sorry about your losing your power to Blaze. Shame” Hauk smiled

Xerxes sneered at him and put him the stretch limo. The took Hauk weapons.

“You’re going to help me with that. I assuming you don’t have the Gizmo on you. When we arrived here, we didn’t trust each other. So we took the device apart so we each have a piece of it.” Xerxes said “Want you to gather the pieces from the other people”

“Why should I help you?” Hauk said

“I have Liana” Xerxes said

He showed her a picture of Liana. Liana was a long legged Jewel thief he knew in Gordor. The picture had her naked and tied up.

“Should kill you right here.” Hauk said

“Should…but we BOTH know you won’t” Xerxes smiled

“My men will give you the money you need. Oh and just in case you try anything, I am giving you a partner to go along with you.” Xerxes said
