"So is this the new specimen?" The man asked in a gentle voice that confused Dante as the glint is his eye changed from mischievous innocence to lust.

"Fucking hell hes like a walking contradiction" was one of the many thoughts that were zooming around Dante's mind as he tried to figure what was happening regarding him.

"Jimmy remember what we talked about earlier?" Reaper said in a cold voice as his eyes narrowed.

"Of course" Jimmy said softly as he walked behind the chair Dante was sitting on and draped his hands on Dante's body.

Dante tensed up as he felt the seemingly cold hands caress his skin. The smell of cologne wafted around as he stayed still trying to ignore the feeling of discomfort. "This isn't happening" Dante thought as he tried to get away from this feeling of vulnerability. The hands crawled from his shoulders to his face as it was forced up to look at the man behind him.

"With a little bit of work he would be perfect in my line of work." Jimmy said thoughtfully as he squeezed Dante's chin forcefully open and closing his mouth running his thumb over the child's lips.

"Fucking hell hes creepy" Dante thought with a shudder as the man finally removed his unwanted hands. An awkward silence fell over the room as everyone tried to find a way to pick the conversation back onto the right track.

Dante cleared his throat and asked "so what's going to happen to me now we've made our uh introductions?"

"That is all up to you" Reaper said going back into his joyous mood and exaggerated excitement.

"What do you mean by that?" Dante said highly suspicious.

"It means you have a choice to make."

"And what choice would that be?"

"You have option one" Reaper said pointing at himself "Train with me to become an assassin or option two go with him and star in child pornography" pointing at Jimmy.

"Well can I pick option three which is you guys letting me go?" Dante asked.

"we can let you go in a coffin." Reaper replied seriously.

"Let's not pick option three then" Dante sighed.

"What a good choice" Reaper said with another beaming smile forming on his face.

"I would like to pick option 1 then please." Dante said without any enthusiasm.

"Excellent" Reaper exclaimed in excitement as he gave Dante a round of applause.

"Well I shall be leaving but this won't be the last time we meet." Jimmy said as he left leaving with a wink.

"I wish it is the last time I see him." Dante thought relived that he finally left. "So what do we do now?" Dante asked.

Snapping out of his childish appearance and turning serious Reaper looked at Dante. "Great he's like a mood pendulum swinging this way and that." Dante sighed in his mind.

"Right let's get down to business."

"To defeat the Huns" Dante finished in his head.

"We shall first go to our apartment where you will be staying for the next few eternity." Reaper explained "where I shall be teaching you the art of killing people in the most effective ways possible."

"Ok" Dante said as he thought how wonderful it would be due to bringing possibilities to escape.

"Right let's go!"

"Uh aren't you forgetting something?" Dante asked in confusion.

"Nope got my keys got my wallet I think I'm all good." Reaper replied obviously.

Dante sighed "I meant me tied to the chair because unless this chair becomes sentient I'm not moving."

"Oh yeah that."

"Is he a fucking idiot?" Dante wondered as Reaper walked behind Dante and released him from the ropes. Dante rubbed his arms and wrists trying to get the circulation back to get rid of the pins and needles. "Do I get clothes or am I going onto the streets naked?" Dante asked.

"Ah clothes I knew I needed something." Reaper said as he walked out of the room.

Dante creeped forwards trying not to make a sound "the window is too small and it looks like we are high up." Dante observed as he tried making a plan realizing that the door was the only way out he sneaked to the door hiding behind its paint worn frame and rusted handles he took a peep to see if Reaper had left.

Seeing the hallway clear Dante stealthily walked out of the door and made his way down the peeling hallway the paint was ripped, walls cracked and almost all the floor boards freaked as Dante made his way down.

Dante was on high alert when he reached the stairs "this is too easy." Was his first thought as he made his way down the stairs looking at the ragged signs pointing towards what Dante hope he deciphered correctly as an exit.

After a few minutes of walking he found himself inside a lobby with the main door just in front of him adrenaline pumped through Dante's body as he saw his goal.

Seconds turned into minutes and those minutes turned into hours as Dante sprinted to the door a couple meters a couple more seconds that's all he would need.

With his escape route just a few meters in front of him everything faded away until a hand grabbed the side of his head and all he could think was "oh shit!" As he was lifted up and slammed into a wall.

Pain pierced his skull as his vision blurred. He tried kicking his assailent as the hand dropped from his head to pinning him against the wall with his throat lodged between them. "Fuck off you bastard!" Dante screamed as his hope vanished in an instant. A sharp pain on the side of his face which felt like a slap helped clear his vision to reveal an enraged Reaper.

"Ah fuck." Dante muttered.

"Whilst I admire your spirit. if you try pulling a stunt like that again i will personally send you to Jimmy so he can discipline you like he does with other disobedient little boys." Reaper threaten as he tighten his grip on Dante's throat.

"Yes" Dante croaked before he was dropped to the floor.

"Good I'm glad you understand now get dressed" Reaper said tossing a pile of clothes at Dante.
