Chapter 5: Think before you threaten!
Mr Capryse sighed and hummed a happy tune as he filed the last of his paperwork before a young striped Tiger/Rabbit hybrid delivered a plate of New York style pizza to him “LUNCH TIME! Here you are daddy, your favorite!” She said as she beamed brightly while he took his first bite “Thank you, Autumn it’s perfection.” He told her, causing her to grin wide for a bit “Oh before I forget, a Mr Zachary Farley showed up wishing to meet you… said it was important” She frowned a bit at the end, hating when her meal schedules were interrupted. Mr Capryse sighed and nodded “Allow him in… it must be VERY Important, he knows better.” He told her, but before she could leave, a short but wide blonde-haired middle-aged man walked in with a cigar in hand “You are a hard man to pencil an appointment with Tony!” he said, pointing at the door for Autumn, who only left because Mr Capryse nodded “By all means Zach make yourself at home, to what do I owe this pleasure?” He asked while continuing to eat, Zachary glared spitefully back at him. “I know your Grape-headed lapdog killed my son! Confess and pay in blood, or I will seek it elsewhere!” He accused, causing Mr Capryse to put down his slice and wipe his face. “First off, Darkness is a mercenary, not my personal attacker, it’s likely he was paid by someone Albert hurt personally, my condolences by the way… But more on the subject? Elsewhere? Whatever do you mean?”
“I know where Saryn works, ‘Pure mind solutions’ right? I can always cause that company to go under, or I Can simply wait for the next Extreme Chef Competition! Cute little girl you have there, never was one for Pants or skirts though… Easy enough target for some less than reputable criminals!” Countered Zachary with a predatory grin. At the mention of Autumn and her safety, Mr Capryse’s grin widened even more “Tell me Zachary, do you know who I was before I set up shop here?” he asked, his eyes shining as he saw Zachary’s confused silence. “They used to Call me ‘The Bad Day Killer’ or ‘Mr Bad Day’ back when I worked for Casey Taylor… It was MY job to ensure the brutal deaths I carried out made the news! Absolutely fun time for a while, but like any power drunk fool, he wanted to use my face as a threat…so he gave me this” Mr Capryse stopped talking long enough to pull out a rusty iron mask with a psychotic grin and slits for eyes with bandages hanging out. “It used to be shiny silver in color, but enough blood and time makes fools of us all, the bandages were to protect my face from the rust you see… I HATED this mask, so what do I do? I tell Casey I want to make my face scarier than this mask! He gave me that chance but on the condition, I do it to the biggest target I can get... Some high-profile mobster type, and let me tell ya bud, I tortured him for hours, sent a selfie to his father with the threat of coming for him next! One day I pull the blindfold off that old fucker and the first thing he sees? This mask… you shoulda heard him beg, I tell ya I think he even peed himself, I tell him I just wanna talk and even pulled off my mask! The sight of my face alone… gave him a heart attack!” Mr Capryse smirked a bit at the now sweating Zachary Farley “You come into MY home, accuse ME of wrongdoing, and threaten MY daughter? Now ordinarily I’d handle this here and now… But I’m a lot softer in my older age… so I’ll tell ya what Mac, get your affairs in order, and get the hell outta New York! I recommend a spot in Florida honestly, I can hook you up with a nice advisor if ya like! His name’s Daniel Lancaster, He’s a piece of shit, but he’s good at getting bigger pieces of shit off! Think about it tonight over some brandy.” Mr Capryse smirked as Zachary got up quickly “THIS ISN’T OVER YOU SON OF A BITCH!” He declared before bolting from the house. Mr Capryse just went back to eating. “This is some damn fine pizza, shame Saryn couldn’t make it home… Ah well! More for me!” He said with a chuckle while looking over his files.
