Chapter 8 - The Hand in New York

Ray laughed out loud as he portal himself to New York. After he had arrived here, Ray teleported all his things from Kamar Taj back to his storage ring. Yes, Ray had created a storage ring while he was in Kamar Taj. Ray got the idea from the fantasy book he had read when he was a forty year old man and used space magic to create this ring. He called it the ring of Ray.

Ray knew he had been away for some time, it was time to take back his New York Street gang from D1 or Dumb 1 and D2 or Dumb 2, his lieutenants. Ray looked around New York and smelled the air. He felt that in the last one year, New York did not change much. Ray created another portal to his house in New York and stepped into the portal.

When Ray exited the portal, he saw many new street children and older members of his gang of thieves. One of the older boys did not recognise Ray and stepped out to stop him.

"Hey girl...", the tall lanky teenager said as he looked at Ray.

"I am not a girl...", Ray said in his girlish voice as he looked right back at the towering teenager.

"Then why do you look and sound like a girl ?", the tall lanky teenager said with a smirk.

With Ray's shoulder length golden hair, his beautiful blue eyes, his youthful feminine face and the feminine clothes from Kamar Taj he was wearing he looked like a girl alright.

"Pain...", Ray whispered.

The tall lanky teen screamed in pain, fell down and slumped on the floor unconscious. All the children and teenagers panicked and started rushing into the house. As that happened D1 or Dumb 1 and D2 or Dumb 2, Ray's two lieutenants walked out of the house.

When D1 or Dumb 1 saw a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed young girl in front of him, he fell in love immediately. The blessings of the gods and goddesses did their work. However D2 or Dumb 2 saw the resemblance of the young girl to Ray and wondered if they had any relations and dare not fall in love with her, even though D2 or Dumb 2 ŀusted after her.

"Who are you ?", D1 or Dumb 1 asked sweetly.

"Yes, Who are you ?", D2 or Dumb 2 asked cautiously.

"It's me Ray !", Ray spoke out loud in his girlish voice as his right eye started twitching in anger.

"Ray ?!", D1 or Dumb 1 said in shock as he realised he fell in love with Ray at first sight.

"Ray ! Welcome back.", D2 or Dumb 2 shouted out as he felt relief and lucky that he did not fall in love with Ray at first sight.

Ray soon settled back into his position as leader of his little gang of thieves. And he found out from D1 or Dumb 1 and D2 or Dumb 2 that their gang is to be absorbed into a new organisation known as the red hand on account of them leaving a bloody hand print on their victims who they kill. Upon learning that Ray just mumbled,"so the Hand has entered New York.".

"Yes, we don't know much about this new organisation that just appeared in New York suddenly. Since you have been gone, this new organisation has been absorbing all the gangs in New York. We are one of the few last gang that has held out so far.", D1 or Dumb 1 said out proudly.

"This new organisation has killed any gangs in New York that refused to join them and left a bloody red hand as their sign. We don't even know the name of this organisation.", D2 or Dumb 2 added.

"The Hand.", Ray mumbled in his girlish voice.

"D1 and D2 call out the leader of this new organisation tonight. Tell them your leader has returned and wants to meet them.", Ray said in his girlish voice with a sly smile.

Soon a meeting was arranged for the leaders of the Hand and Ray to meet. You might be wondering why the leaders of the Hand would want to meet a small time group of thieves. Well Ray's group of thieves is one of New York's most profitable gang operations. And the Hand has just come to New York and have not established themselves yet. The Hand needs as many gangs in New York as possible to be under them, so they have to shock and awe these gangs and not kill them. It's only when the Hand has fully established themselves in New York can they be arrogant.

A few days later.

Waiting in the dock yard in New York was two leaders of the Hand, one of them looked like a younger version of actress Sigourney Weaver, she was the proud leader of the Hand named Alexandra. Another leader of the Hand was an old woman who looked exactly like the actress Wai Ching Ho, she was the much feared Madam Gao. The two of them were talking while waiting for Ray and his lieutenants to show up.

"Are you sure this is not overkill ?", Madam Gao asked in an elderly voice.

"No, we need to make a good first impression. After all the second in command of that gang of thieves said their leader looked down on us. We need to show them our true strength, after all we have just started to establish ourselves in New York.", Alexandra said calmly.

"I still think it is overkill. We have the ninjas behind us, the people with machine guns in front and the Kung Fu Masters in the middle. We have shown too much of our power.", Madam Gao said in her elderly voice.

"Better to do more than to do less old friend. After we have impressed upon them our power, these children will be too scared to defy us. They will be loyal to us.", Alexandra said confidently.

"And I think one of their second leaders or lieutenant is already thinking of betraying their leader. Once we have number one and number two in our pocket, this money making machine will make money for us. Ha. Ha.", Alexandra said happily.

In the mist of night appeared a beautiful young blonde haired blue eyed boy if you could even call him a boy. His beauty was ethereal, appearing like a young god walking on Earth. His beauty and elegance even mesmerised Alexandra and Madam Gao. Behind him came two older teenagers and a group of children. Children ???

"Hmm... perhaps we should teach this young blonde leader a lesson by having him serve us as a slave. A beautiful slave.", Alexandra said with a smirk.

"Yes, such a beauty should feel lucky to serve us in the Hand.", Madam Gao said arrogantly. All pretends of caution and fear have melted away after seeing this bunch of children.

The beautiful young blonde haired blue eyed boy walked to the front of the group of ȧssassin ninjas, gun men and killers with a smile on his face.

"Miss Alexandra and Madam Gao I presume.", Ray said with confidence in his girlish voice.

"What ?!", Alexandra said in shock as no one was suppose to know who they were.

"How ?!", Madam Gao shouted out in shock as the other party had information on them. This couldn't be possible unless they were betrayed internally.

"Garrotte sharp...", Ray whispered in his girlish voice.

The head of Alexandra and Madam Gao was cut off and fell down from their body as their body soon slumped on the floor. The look on both of their faces before they died was of shock and fear of not knowing anything before they died. The rest of the ȧssassin ninjas, gun men and Kung Fu Masters heads was also cut off and they all fell down dead on the floor as well.

"D1, D2, the rest of you take anything of value from their dead bodies. You can spend the money immediately. But keep the weapons and jewellery. Soon we will be able to sell the jewellery and use these weapons.", Ray said with a smirk.

"Yes boss !", D1, D2 and the rest of the children shouted out as they rushed to scavenge all the valuables off the dead bodies of the Hand and their two erstwhile leaders.

Once they were done both D1, D2 and the children rushed to Ray's side.

"Do you want us to get rid of the bodies ? After all the Hand will definitely take revenge on us for killing their leaders and their people.", D1 and D2 asked nervously.

"No need. Leave.", Ray said in a girlish voice with another smirk.

"Burn...", Ray whispered in a girlish voice.

Soon all the bodies of the leaders and people of the Hand were burnt in incredibly high temperature until all their bodies turned to ashes. D1, D2 and the children were shocked to see these scene as they were leaving. Ray was the last to leave and he let out a girlish evil laugh as he left.

"Ha ! Ha ! Ha !", Ray laughed out loud in his girlish voice and in an evil tone. The laughter chilled all the night air around D1, D2 and the children. And anyone who heard this evil girlish laugh in the night would be chilled to the bone.
