Chapter 3: Today you die

"We're there… give me the periscope, Jade" Jonny whispered to her as she pulled a metal object out of a bag.

"Can you see them?" she asked… "Jonny" "Jonny answer me" then she kicked him and he responded with "I see them".

Next thing the guards knew there was knockout gas everywhere. Race was still unconscious, Jessie soon became sleepy… just like Surd's men. Then Jonny came down into the room… he took Jessie and tied her to a lifting device that Jade soon activated… then she put something to the beautiful redhead's nose and soon the girl was awake. Then Jonny tied Race to the machine, but when he was up… the green stick didn't seem to wake him.

"Why is he not responding to the wake-up-stick?" Jade asked quite concerned.

"He's not sleeping from the knock-out gas… he was uncouncious before you got here." Jessie answered in a very low tone.

"We weren't counting on that…. Looks like we have to swap roles Jonny…. He's too big I can't drag him… I'll distract the guards away… and you get 'em out of here.. unless you" but before Jade could finish…. Jonny begun.

"No way Jade…. You get em out of here… bout of you can drag him…. I'll distract the guards" and again before Jonny could finish Jade started.

"Why??? Why would you complicate matters… it's easier the other way around" then Jessie approved with Jade…. And Jonny just felt the need to say the truth.

"Because I'm gonna kill Surd…. Tonight he dies…. He's gone too far… just seeing Jessie in that cell there… and seeing Race like this…. this will never happen again… because tonight he dies… or we bouth die…. But he dies tonight." And as Jonny ended his sentence Jessie started crying.

"Please come with us…. Jonny…. Come with us…. I don't want you to die" she said it crying.

"Jess… what the ((( do you care…. Just go…. If I don't come back tell Race… he was like a second father to me…." He barked.

"I care because I love you….you idiot.." then she kissed him… and a tear fell out of him eyes "Come back to me… please".

Jade felt the love in the air… but also felt the danger induced by the fact that they still were in Surd's vent system….. and she didn't know how to break up the two who were paralyzed… looking in each other's eyes.

"Hey… kids…. I know it's not really the moment… but…. We're running out of time.. let's go Jess" as she finished… Jessie kissed Jonny one that time… and knowing it might be the last time… left… with Jade… and her father.

Once they were out of Jonny's area she pulled Jade's gun and put it agains her head.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what…. Saving you?" Jade asked bouth scared and confused.

"You work for Surd… I saw you…you were there…" Jess let a tear fall "we thrusted you."

"It wasn't me…. The other me… was at the compound too…. But I guess It's won't be that difficult to prove considering that I can't be in two places at once" than she took a radion and called Jonny….

"Jonny was I with you all night?" and Jonny responded "Yes. Let me guess the other Jade…. Jessie saw her?" Jonny said in an ironical tone.

"Smart kid… quite the hotshot." Jade ended her sentence… when Jonny said in a low tone "Don't call me that".

"Why?" but before Jonny could answer….Jess said… with a grin on her face "It's reserved for me".

"No go…. Get out of here…. Stop loosing time" they heard Jonny yell in the radio. Five minutes later they were in the car….. driving 90miles per hour…

Jonny finished planting the bombs all over the base…. The returned for the body he so cleverly has hidden in the pipes… then he dragged the body… up to one of the hole's in the vent… that led to Surd's main room…. Then he threw the body in the room. Before all of Surd's men could turn to shoot the already dead body…Jonny was out by another hole. Then he came closer to Surd… and closer and closer…

"I can see you boy…. I can have you shot right this moment" Surd said…. But Jonny responded quite in a smart way.

"The whole place is rigged with explosives… I can kill you right now…. What's to stop me…. " Jonny asked… but little did he know that Surd… had some agendas of his own.

"But then you'll die too…. Wouldn't you …. BOY ?" Surd asked very ironically.

"I don't care…. You hurt Jessie…. You die today"

"Oh but so does she… you didn't think I'd be so careless to actually…. Let you save the real Jessie…. " then he turned to a man in the room.

"Bring her…. And…. And her father…. So the boy can see them" but before surd could finish his sentence… they were brought in the room. "So you see boy…. What you kissed in the vents was actually…. A 30 years old woman…. Made to look like you're sweetheart… You didn't think she really loves you…. Well she doesn't… in order to replicate someone… I have to scan them in Quest world… even there're toughts… toughts are energetical impulses in the nerves… so they can be scanned… that's how I know… that's how I knew to put the fake Jessie… to… help your hopes… " Surd started laughing.

"You're scum… Surd… I give you my word… before this day is over you will die." Jonny said… in a low but frightening tone.

"And how do you propose to kill me, boy. The girl is here so is her dad… and… oh… yeah sweet little Jade. Who's she with? Ha ha ha Boy… she's with… my copies… she's probably dead already…." Surd went on but Jonny just let himself captured. He had to know if this was the real Jessie or not… if he saved the real Jessie… uh and Race…. Than he can easily activate the C4… what Surd doesn't know is that the real trigger is in his boot…. But if this is the real Jessie… and Race… than he must get 'em out first.

"Well boy… I must say you are smarter than I tought… any last wishes, before I kill you?" Surd was such a insupportable person, Jonny couldn't stand him any more… he had to know.

"Yes… I want to kiss her…. Than I die."

"Okay boy… not the smartest of wishes… but I must respect the romanistism of you're last breaths."

So Jonny kissed the supossed Jessie… and she was not Jessie… Surd could copy every inch of her body… and could access her memories… but he sure as fucking hell could not copy her kiss. So She's alive… with Race… and Jade… going home safe.. oh what a relief.. next thing Jonny kicked the ground in a special hard kinda way… and the whole building blew up.

Jessie could see the building explode from the car… next thing she started crying.

"He's alright Jessie… he'll be fine" Jade said… putting a hand on her shoulder.

"No he's not… he's dead… his hearth… it's not beating anymore." Jessie cried.

"How do you know that?"

"By this…. we've had it since we were kids… I can see his hearth beat… and he can… un COULD… see mine. He's dead… Oh Jade… he's dead…. I loved him… no I love him…. Look… look it's beathing." She started to scream.

"No it's not sweaty… it's still not beathing… look" Jade said in a low tone.

"Oh yeah… must have hallucinated that… oh please… oh please… God… let me go insane…. I don't wanna live without him." She cried harder than ever… next thing they heard was Jonny's voice on the radio.

"And you won't… Jess… You won't… I'm coming home… and you won't live without me…. That I can promise." Jonny's voice sounded throw the radio. Bout women stood speechless, bouth curious how he survived.

"See… I told you… " Jade said in a happy and mockery voice.

Next chapter in 2 or 3 days. I'll try to make 'em longer… even if It's kinda hard… considering the amount of time that I have to work on them.
