Eliot was hired to retrieve a beautiful jeweled dagger, no different from any of his other jobs, except that he hadn't expected it to be a double cross. There were people waiting for his arrival to the city from the start, and every step of the way there had been attempts to kill him.
People killing him, fine, that was just part of the job's dangers, he accepted that. But when they blew up public places in an attempt to catch him in it, that was going too damn far.
So when it all came to head inside the security building where his target housed his private collection, Eliot didn't hesitate to take it out on the thugs who attacked him. The security were all knocked out nicely ahead of time, he felt bad for hurting the security guys who were just doing their jobs... but these damn thugs, they deserved everything he did to them.
With an inhuman heave, he threw one of them into the far wall of the complex while he gripped the other by his throat. "There were kids in that buildin'!!"
