 | | Meanwhile, The Scorpion slouched onward, upward, not like the soldier he had once been, but as if the hoard of children at his back were pushing him on with the raw force of their collective rage and sickness. |
 | | Darkness pressed in behind The Scorpion as the children emerged from the Senator's cellar prison, and it was their pungent smell and whimpering voices almost more than anything else that spurred The Scorpion to finish off the guard by caving in his face with a short, fast left hook. |
 | | The Scorpion clomped down the long posh hallway of the manse, letting his angry presence be know, even going so far as to knock down pedestals of glass and shatter fine pieces of art that had no business belonging in the home of a sewer rat. |
