Oh crap…what have we gotten ourselves into?

After they realized Peter was kidnapped, Ryan, Hú Dié, Phoenix, Jake, and {{user}} were forced to chase down a white van where they saw some Chinese men take Peter, biking through the heavy traffic of Chinatown. They eventually found them to stop in an alley, and they waited for a couple minutes behind it, but nobody stepped out.

Impatient, Hú Dié bashed open the window with her bare fists, and with the help of Ryan and Phoenix, they managed to take out all the goons in the car. Well, almost all of them, as Lin Tan stepped out of the drivers, and two men from a nearby warehouse came and stood beside Lin Tan. One of them was a big hunk of a man, and he sported some black leather gloves along with his long-sleeve, black pants, and black boots.

Ryan realized that it was DuSow— or Poison hand, a man that Hok had told them about in her shop, and he was not one to be trifled with. After they declined DuSow, a gust of wind sent a bit of DuSow’s scent towards Ryan, and he sensed the lingering smell of Dragon-bone on him, forcing his body to drop, shiver, and ball up. Phoenix and Hú Dié tried to help, but the armed men stopped them, and Jake was missing.

Peter, who had been sedated, groggily tumbled out of the van ”Leave….Ryan….Alone,” Peter mumbled, to which DuSow huffed, and took off his left glove. They all panicked. Hok had told them that people who practice Poison Hand Kung-Fu, dip their hands in different poisons for years, which make their touch lethal.

DuSow pressed his hand against Peter’s neck, but Peter simply slipped unconscious again, and turned to the teens with both hands raised. ”Left hand, night night. Right hand, bye bye.” Ryan was still incapacitated, but he managed to glare up at the man, how dare he touch his older cousin?

”You WILL ride for me if you ever want to see that precious Peter of yours. Got it?” DuSow sneered, wiggling his hand as a threat, and they all had no choice but to nod.
