Did he not know his life was doomed to end right here-right now?
"Mr. Maxckmillian, I dare say, out of the many countless scenarios I may have manufactured to have to deal with, none of them included you. You often restrain yourself above your wife's activities, I thought us once to never meet." The little man then pushed the glasses, which were too refined for his deeply-creased features, back atop the bend on his nose.
Viktor's head cocked sideways, and he sighed. Holding his wife's hand with his left hand, he reached to his side for Hell's Embrace with his right. The weapon hummed as he decided to go slow with this one. The nuts cracked easily…at least for Viktor…
But he might not be the figurehead. There might be others involved, and he needed to find them and destroy them all the same.
Viktor kept his eyes on the dainty man. His eyes focused on him, he squinted. He figured he knew him, most certainly his voice sounded familiar…
"You don't know who I am. Heh, heh, heh." He was quite brash with his vitriol.
Viktor was still considering what to make of this man before him. He was not afraid of him. The old man was human, but not a fool. Viktor was in a fair mind to grab his wife and take her home rather than to subject himself to the musings of a soon-to-be-dead dog.
Don't want to hang the little one and allow the bigger one to escape.
His mind sought to reason with his non-obliging nature. Viktor stared at the man once more… Who the hell was he?
"Too bad." He looked up. "I really had hoped to catch a glimpse of Saturn's rings tonight. Ah…But I'm guessing that could still transpire. Things can all still go well tonight."
A familiar tune filled the air, coming from the doorway behind the old man. The lyrics were in Mandarin- Gōng chē shàng de lún zi zhuàn ya zhuàn- but the nursery rhyme melody was familiar to every creed and race on the planet.
Xin made his appearance at the entrance, towering above the other Asian man. He continued singing the children's tune: "Oh the wheels of the bus go round and round," Xin stepped around the man, towards Viktor where he stood near his wife. "Round and round, round and round, the wheels of the bus go round and round, all the way home."
Xin looked at Viktor with an accusing glare. "How dare you wear silver around my pups." But Viktor's eyes were all on the little man.
