Sorry this chapter is a bit late my computer still persists in being difficult, and I'm a very slow at typing. And forgive my bad grammar, and spelling. What do you expect from someone who passed English 1 with a d- both semesters? Well here's chapter four.
Chapter 4: a new job
Lacus sat in the back of a police car while she waited for her father to get to the where house. She sat there looking out the window into the clear night sky. The police had interrogated Lacus about what had happened for what seemed like hours to her. They were very thorough in their in their questioning especially about the man who'd saved her. But after awhile of purposely vague descriptions given by Lacus they gave up and told her to rest in one of the squad cars until her father came.
Her thoughts wondered to her rescuer. 'Who was that man? His speed was amazing and his tolerance to pain unbelievable'. Not mention surviving that four-story drop and landing on his feet none the less. And his selflessness amazed me. I don't even know him, and he doesn't work for me or my father and yet he was willing to put himself in danger like that and even take a bullet for me'.
Her train of thought was broken as she saw her father talking to one of the officers. She quickly opened the door and ran to her father.
Siegel had been finding out what had happened when he saw his daughter running towards him. He excused the officer and ran to meet Lacus. Siegel hugged his daughter tightly as she started to cry. The events of the day had finally caught up with her as she couldn't control the tears. Siegel tried to comfort his daughter as best as he could for awhile until one of the police officers approached them.
"Um sir you and your daughter might want to leave as the press will be here shortly".
"Thank you for the warning", Siegel said as he began to lead Lacus to their car.
Siegel then looked at Lacus and said, "Don't worry everything will be fine I'll have the family lawyer handle the press and you can tell me what happened when we get home".
Lacus nodded in agreement and opened the door to get into the back seat of the car. Before she got in she took on last look at the direction where the mysterious man had disappeared to and thought to herself 'who ever you are we'll meet again I'm sure of it'.
It had taken Kira a few hours to make it home since he lived a few miles outside the city. He lived in a large house near the coast. It had taken so long because all his vehicles were in his garage and the buses didn't go out this far. Kira lived in a large two story house with a sixteen square acre yard which was surrounded by ten foot high wall. House was protected by state of the art security system. The entire complex was constantly watched by regular and heat sensing cameras. There was also a device that monitored any radio transmissions coming from inside the grounds. The cameras were tied into Kira's computer, and auto defense system which consisted of several very high intensity search lights, eight LRAD (long range acoustic device) which attacks the enemy with a loud high pitched shrill tone similar to a smoke alarm but can cause permeate ear damage, a non lethal mine field which had flash bang, gas, and concussion mines.
The only lethal defense was six automated fifty-cal machine guns but that was used as a last resort. Despite Kira's actions during a job or something like the fight that had happened earlier that day he rarely killed and didn't like to.
Kira walked up to his front gate and punched in his access codes into a small terminal turning off his security system allowing him to go in safely. When Kira entered his house he turned on his lights using a small terminal that controlled all of the house's appliances. Walking over to his answer machine he was shocked to see there was 137 messages since he was only gone for nine days. Kira hit play on the answer machine and walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. Most of the messages were from friends that didn't know Kira had left and few old girl friends Kira stayed in contact with. Of course most of his relationships didn't last long. The longest any relationship lasted with Kira was a three weeks. His girlfriends kept breaking up with him because he was gone long periods of time without calling, some didn't like his job, and the others broke up over stupid things like his lack of knowledge of celebrities, pop idols, and even politics. Kira just didn't have the time or interest to learn about those things.
There were only two messages that really interested Kira. One was from the man who took care of him since he was eight and who Kira considered his father and somewhat mentor Reverend Malchio. The message just asked Kira to come down to the orphanage/church for a visit when he got back. The other was from some man named Ledonir Kisaka asking Kira if he wanted a job. The message said, "Hello Mr. Yamato this Ledonir Kisaka with the Orb royal guard. If you're looking for a job I have one that suits your skills. Now I'm not going to lie to you it's a high risk job but the pay is good. If you're interested just go down to the capital building then go to the department of defense and ask for lieutenant colonel La Flaga and he'll set you up. Thank you for your time and we hope to see you soon".
This got Kira in a real good mood. 'This great I just get back and I already have a job offer. I guess I'll go see him tomorrow before I drop by the reverends place'. Kira thought to himself.
Kira went to the cabinets and pulled out a package of ramen as he was to tired to cook grabbed a soda out of the refrigerator and sat down on his leather sofa. After a while of searching he found the remote to the TV and turned it on. After a few minutes of flipping channels he found a TV show were they take peoples beat up cars and trick them out with interesting stuff. Hr broke up him ramen in its package and poured the seasoning package in. after a awhile Kira's thoughts wondered to the to the girl he saved earlier.
'Who was she I know I've seen her before but from where. I definitely would remember meeting her. Did I see her on TV? No that couldn't be it. Then where have I seen her'. After a few minutes he gave up and went back to watching the TV. Slowly Kira began to slip in and out sleep. Kira tried to fight it as best as he could but he was just to tired and finally gave in and slowly began to drift into sleep.
Kira all of a sudden woke with his head hurting like hell. After a few seconds of holding his head he realized he was on the floor. He looked at the couch and at the coffee table that was directly in front the couch and came to the conclusion that he fell out off the couch and hit his head on the coffee table. After a cursing at the table he got up and checked the time in the TV as it was already bright out.
"Shit 1:30 I really over slept. I better hurry if I want to see about that job and go see the rev".
Kira made his way up stairs to his room and went to his closet. Kira picked out a completely black suit. The shirt, tie, jacket, pants, socks, shoes were all black. As a mater of fact almost his entire closet was filled with black clothes.
Kira took a quick shower and got dressed. The last things Kira ever did were things that he absolutely needed a mirror for like shaving and coming his hair. Kira hated mirrors. The only mirrors in the house were in the two bathrooms. Kira hated mirrors because they reminded him of failure and misery. He saw his failure and misery in his reflection. And every time he looked in a mirror it always made him ask one thing. Why did they leave me? Wasn't I good enough?
Kira left the bathroom and went to the kitchen were he grabbed a Monster energy drink and a muffin from his refrigerator and went to his garage. Now was the hard part. Trying to decide which of his four vehicles to take. He had two cars, one street bike, and a SUV.
All of his cars except for his SUV were considered some of his most prized possessions. The only reason he even had the SUV was because of his work sometimes involved protecting his client and SUV's were normally bulky so if Kira made any modifications to it that increased it's weight or size there would be little suspicion.
His first car was a 1970 Dodge Challenger. His second car was a red 1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT. Kira didn't actually buy his Lamborghini he just took it as payment. One of his clients decided that Kira's performance wasn't worth the money he told Kira he would be getting even though Kira had finished it two weeks earlier than he had to. So Kira decided to break in slip through the mans state of the art security system and his two hundred guards and leave a note on his counter saying that he was taking the Lamborghini and that if he came after him he'd be back for another late night visit. Needless to say no one ever came.
Kira's motorcycle was a silver Suzuki Hayabusa gsx1300r which was one of the fastest bikes out there. He'd actually thought he'd saved the machine from a horrible fate. He'd been out walking one day when he saw it in a motorcycle dealership and took pity on it. It would probably end up being bought by some spoiled rich kid who would ride it once or twice and get board with it. So Kira bought the it saving from a horrible fate.
His last vehicle was his SUV. It was a black 2002 Cadillac Escalade. The Escalade had been modified to protect his clients when they were inside. The windows were bullet proof; the entire body of the SUV was lined with a thin layer of titanium which was covered by Kevlar (bullet proofing material), the tires were run flats which let you go about fifty miles on your tires if they pop before you have to change them. The tires were also lined with Kevlar. The back seat concealed a M249 saw (squad automatic machinegun) and a spas 15 shotgun.
After much debate Kira chose the Lamborghini because he hadn't driven for awhile. Kira quickly finished the muffin, chugged down the Monster and threw the can in a recycle bin. Kira was about to get in when he remembered he'd forgot a couple of things. He quickly ran back into his house grabbed his colt and its holster. He also grabbed his steal brief case. It was heavier than most suit cases due to the special surprises built into it.
He quickly got back into his lambo, opened the garage door and drove down the drive way. Before he left he reactivated his all of his security systems with the gates security panel.
Driving in a Lambo is hard for Kira because he wanted to make it go faster then the speed limit would allow but Kira kept a lot of restraint on himself.
After about ten minutes he arrived at the capital building and went inside. After looking around for a while Kira found the buildings directory and a short elevator trip later he arrived at the defense departments lobby. He found a young female receptionist typing on a computer at the front deck.
Kira walked over and knocked on the desk lightly to get her attention and said, "Um excuse me my names Kira Yamato and I'm here to see a lieutenant colonel La Flaga".
She started typing in something into her computer and said, "He can see you now just go down the hall to the left and keep going until you reach office 42b".
Kira proceeded down the hallway until he came to the office he was told to go to. He knocked and heard a "come in".
Kira entered and saw a man in an Orb uniform with short blonde hair leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
After a minute of silence the man became curious as to who was standing in his temp office. He open his eyes to see a young man dressed in black with a metal briefcase.
Kira was the first one to speak and said' "Hello my name is Kira Yamato and a man named Kisaka said I should speak to you about a job".
"You're the man Ledonir was talking about? I was expecting some one older. Well never mind you must be pretty good if Ledonir wants you hired. Well the job pays 50 an hour for two weeks".
"Sounds good buts what's the job".
"It's a tough one. You're going to be the personal body guard of Lord Uzumi Nara Athha's daughter Cagalli Yula Athha".
"Well what is exactly hard about watch some little spoiled princess"?
"Well theirs the fact that there has been four assignation attempts on her this year, not mention she's scared off eight of her personal guards already".
"She can't be that bad"?
Mu started laughing when Kira said this and said, "Oh really well I'm going to prove it and I'm in luck because miss Athha here today. Come on I'll show you".
At this he got up and walked out the room with Kira following closely. Mu couldn't wait to see how bad Cagalli tore him up. Kira on the other hand was confident that he could handle her.
To be continued...
Sorry for the lack of dialogue but this chapter was meant to be a brief look into Kira's personality and life. The next chapter will have a lot more of lacus. Oh and thanks to all those who reviewed and I'll try to get the next chapter up sooner.
