League of Shadows - Chapitre 4

Moscow, 14th January 2045

The day after Pedro attacked Spain, it was time for Yegor Utkin, the crazy Moscow killer known as “Black Lord” to make his come-back. But it was only 4.00pm at this moment, he was at work, in the “Plasmic” car shop he had owned for three years. He was with a customer, just a simple civil, no need to know his name.

At the end of his working day, at 6:30 pm, he went back home, as he was alone, it would be easier to prepare himself. He took his long black coat with red lines, knives, his black jean. He prepared all his killer's stuff, his favourite stuff to be sincere. He was ready to make his murder, his come-back. He was so happy to make some murders again, finally, all of his bloody dreams would become true again.

Then he took his other car and went silently in the city, he always changed radically the design of the car, in order not to be seen by the police. He drove to his aim, at the center of Moscow, the neons were nearly all switched on at that time, at 11:30 pm that's normal we can say. He took a look around the city while driving, looking at the banks, the night shops, the building, 800 meters farer there was his aim, the “Tower Amorksa” it's the place where is located the principal offices of “Letrondia company” a major computer making company, the director is named Yaromir Petrov, a 42 years old russian guy. Why Yegor would like to kill him? Because Yaromir was stealing in secret ALL the user's datas and transfering them to the politics, in order “to prevent any revolution or attempt to attack the country” that was what the president said, but Yegor knew that was fake, it was just to follow the habitants and control their acts...

Yegor parked his car and get out of the car. Always in a perfect discretion, silent as the shadow that comes at night.

He looked at the guardian at the entry, as to bring his attention he made a noise on purpose at the right of the guardian, he threw a little rock. The guardian went to the right to see where does the noise came from, Yegor took the advantage to enter discretly in the building, he wasn't caught since now, he never had been caught and it wouldn't change today.

As he was entering the building, he replaned his plan briefly in his head : Entering Yaromir's office, stabbing him in the heart and let his personnal mark on the place with a message he had already written with blood-like color on a piece of paper.

The message said “This is what happen when you don't respect your people... when you spying on them... when you want to control every fucking part of their lives. I know everything about your company men, and I'm not talking only to the dead body lying there but also to every freaking member of this company. I know what you did, you awfully act against the liberty, you want to restrain the liberty to a small box but I would smash the fake walls you created, I would smash them so violently that you'd take what you made back to you. I'm the liberty, I'm the bloody savior.  THE DARK LORD”

It was sort of a mix between a philosophic text, a poem and a rebellion act against Letrondia.

As he entered the lift of the building, he was disguising himself as a member, who would like to talk with Yaromir.


At the 42nd floor, he was ready to commit the murder he wanted to do. He walked around the corridors looking for the office 42-983 (office of Yaromir), he entered the office and took a softer voice, his true voice was really in the bass...

“Mister Petrov?
Yeah, err... who's here?
Jack Snendelson (he was lying, this guy never existed)
I have so many people in my office I can't remember their name... anyway, what do you want?
I have found a brilliant idea in order to smash the opposition!
Oh yeah? Oh come in!

Yegor would never guessed it would have been so easy to enter here. He entered in the room and, as he was approaching, he was going faster and faster, he took two knives about and, before Yaromir could scream or call someone, he stabbed him with two knives in the neck, the blood was coming out, spreading but Yegor wasn't feeling bad, the blood was remembering him his first murder, on the 23rd October 2037, he was 20 years old...

As the body was lying on the black glass desk, he now made his special signature, he took out a brush, put it in some blood and drew a skull on the desk, he made a bloody skull on every murder...

He was so happy that he made this murder, it has been a while he didn't killed someone...

He get out of the place normally and he now, took his car as a normal citizen getting back home after a day of work...

The next day, every journal knew this murder, it was fast but the articles were so empty, there was nothing to say as no one except Yegor knew anything about the murder.

Some titles were saying “The Dark Lord is back in the streets” or “The Dark Lord hit again the peace of the country” or “A calm day broken by the men with the bloody skull” titles that scared people but that made Yegor happy but he had to play a role on his citizen side, acting like everyone, and at playing roles he was a master, he made 5 years of theater. Yegor had to play a role, in order to save his life, but he started to be sick of playing only this role, being back on the murder scene is for him a sort of redemption.
