Running home he glanced down at his watch, 4:50 he was going to be late for dinner. Mama and Maria were going to be mad if he was late again. He ducked into an alleyway knowing it was a shortcut home.

"Hochi going to make it!"

Suddenly Asar moved into view from around the corner standing infront of Hochi, he stopped dead the color draining from his face his heart plummeted.

"n-n-n-no...Taskmaster..."

Asar smiled looking down at the boy, "Ah yes you do remember who I am, lets see if you remember how to listen. Now put this on around your neck." Asar dug into his pocket pulling out a silvery collar and tossing it on the ground infront of the boy.

Hochi's legs shook as he stared at Asar he started to back up slowly. "Hochi no...Hochi has to get home..." he stuttered.

Asar furrowed his brow as he looked at the boy for a few seconds before a whip materialized in his hand. "Put it on now slave 76845 or else."

Hochi winced as the whip appeared, "No Hochi light you on-" Hochi stopped as Asar cracked the whip just knicking Hochi's right shoulder, causing hochi to jump backwards. "Put the collar on now or you will get worse then this now!" Tears streamed down his face as he reached out with a shaky hand and quickly put the collar on. A numbing sensation began to take his body over as the collar was fastened around his neck.

Asar smiled, "See, now that wasn't so difficult now was it?" Hochi began to lose feeling and control over his legs and arms, he layed on the ground crying. "Now stop crying I'm going to allow you to wave this life goodbye" Asar moved to the side letting Hochi see his home two blocks away, "You almost made it back, but see now your going to make me a very rich man." Asar snapped his fingers three men came out of the shadows gathering Hochi up they moved back away from Aja's house. Asar stared at the house for a few more seconds before turning following his men into the alley chuckling to himself along the way.
