It was a dark night. The cold, empty park was trashed just as the rest of the city was. Within this park was a tall tree and from the top of the tree, you could see every piece of garbage that lay in the area. A dark figure sat in the tree watching carefully over the park.
A short man wearing a black fedora and a tan trench coat walked to the middle of the park and sat down on a bench near the tree. He removed his hat showing his bald head, wiped sweat away from his forehead and placed the hat back on his head. He looked to be about in his forties. Another man walked into the park. He was tall and had light brown hair. He was wearing a black trench coat. The tall man pulled out from his coat pocket a small plastic bag filled with a white powdery substance.
“Where’s the money?” the tall man asked
“Right here.” The shorter man replied as he pulled out a roll of money rapped in a rubber band from his coat pocket and handed it to the tall man. “Now give me the stuff!” he ordered.
“Wait…” The tall man said, “I gotta count the money first.” He removed the rubber band and flipped through the bills. “I can’t see a damned thing without any light.
"I got a light!” The Dark Figure yelled to them from above as he dove down and unleashed his firey wings from his back.
"It's Him!” the short man yelled as he ran away, “Run!”
The tall man turned to run, but The Dark Figure swooped down, picked up the tall man, and flew about fifty feet into the sky.
"Not so fast!” The Dark Figure said.
The man quickly pulled out from his coat pocket a gun, and pointed it at the dark figure’s chest.
"Let me go!” the tall man ordered.
“Fine.” The dark figure replied.
He let go of the man and let him drop to the ground. There was a large CRACK when the man hit the ground. His femur snapped and he passed out.
The Dark Figure then flew after the short man and threw a great ball of fire at his legs. The fire ball hit the short man’s legs and set his pants on fire. The Dark figure swooped down and tore the man’s pants off and punched him in the face and knocked him out. He then stomped on the man’s pants until the fire went out.
He grabbed both of the men, and flew them to the hospital. He carried the two men inside the hospital and set them on a desk and left a note in an envelope that on the outside read:
MF
The nurse ran away from the counter into another room, and then reappeared with a doctor to find the dark figure gone. The doctor picked up the envelope and opened it. The note read:
Dear Dr. Miguel Francis,
As you can see, I have caught another two criminals. One a drug dealer, the other a drug abuser. The tall one is the dealer. As you will see, the tall one has a broken femur… He took quite a fall. I am requesting that you call the police right now, then begin to work on the criminal… He deserves to suffer. This one pulled a gun on me. I have taken your request into consideration. However, I was unable to stop this criminal without doing some damage to his body. The smaller one has suffered some burn injuries to his right leg. You've probably already noticed this due to the fact that he has on no pants … I’m sorry I could not stay to talk to you tonight, but I have a very important date with my wife, and I am already late…
Always a pleasure,
Knight Phoenix
