Chapter 4:
"Butch, you want to bring up the rear and block the front door if she tries anything? She can be a handful, I couldn't reach into her mind yesterday." V asked plotting.
The other brother disappeared silently. No doubt staking a lookout near the entrance of the building.
Phury spotted a G wagon driving down the street to her big glass and steel building, he pointed it out to V.
"Okay, she's on her way. Let's give her a few to settle down, go in, grab everything, wipe her clean, will her to move away so that she can get away from anybody else. It should be 30 minutes tops. I want a stiff drink and a tough fight after I get all her stuff." V told Butch on the phone.
Phury couldn't see her but he could hear the locking chime of her beast of a car.
The lights in the apartment went on and suddenly he could see her through the windows.
Dark hair wound tightly in a braid that fell straight down her back, she was wearing black workout crops and a black short-sleeved workout top and black Nikes, she walked in a with a duffle and threw it on the couch.
So the female was back from a gym or something. Good, it meant that she would be tired.
She walked to the kitchen sink and took a long drink of cold water.
Suddenly, a quiet clear voice sounded through the kitchen. It seemed to come from the small speakers hoisted throughout the apartment.
"Lilah? Incoming bogies." A male voice that sounded light and casual.
"How many and how much time?" she asked without blinking an eye.
"About 4 men and 5 minutes. They are pulling in now"
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck" she responded. Moving quickly.
Phury felt V stiffen next to him. What the fuck was happening? He smelled the sickeningly sweet scent of his enemy species then. Lessers were here.
He looked across to her window again.
"Let's go Henry, Rock and Roll time." She said in a quiet voice as she pulled out a massive backpack from under the kitchen sink and strapped it to her back.
The lights went out in her apartment, it was dark and quiet, Phury knew she was in there because he heard her heartbeat.
"We need to move, we need to help her!" Phury told V.
"One second. I want to see this."
"Not a show. Let's get her and go"
"Aren't you even the least bit curious why the Omega Society wants her. What are they going to do? Let's be on standby for action but let's give this a min to play out Brother."
"Fuck V, I don't want her to die"
"She won't."
Phury opened his mouth to argue and remembered that V was never wrong.
The door to her apartment burst open.
"She is in here. We tracked her to this apartment" One of the heartless motherfuckers was throwing orders.
"Remember boys, we need her alive."
Silence in the apartment was astounding.
Phury could still hear her heartbeat.
It happened so fast that Phury was not sure if he saw what happened in the right order.
Two guns erupted from the kitchen as the glass door to the balcony slid open.
Was she shooting two guns in the dark? This was some Lara Croft Bullshit right here.
"I knew it" V whispered next to Phury. They heard the bullets make contact.
She ran out on the fire escape and took off towards the bottom of the building. She had matching Heckler & Koch 9mm handguns strapped to her as she jumped over the railings and booked it.
Her plan would have worked. Almost.
Except the Lessers were not human, her bullets landed their targets but did nothing to dissuade her pursuers than shock them and Butch burst into the apartment gun drawn and riling for action.
V moved in sync with Phury. Roaring into her apartment with quick strides as they dematerialized just inside the living room.
The four lessers looked surprised to see the Brothers and jumped into action.
Butch had one engaged and V took the other. Phury ran towards the other two with his knives out. He didn't care for guns right now. He wanted to feel things and wanted them to feel some of his wrath and frustration.
As he grappled with two of them, the bigger one took off towards the balcony. He was going after Lilah. Fuck.
Butch noticed this but couldn't move as his body was drawn to the lesser. At this point he stopped fighting, he knew what would come next. He would inhale the undead bastard.
V moved into a tight circle around Butch and laid the Lesser he just killed down on the floor.
Phury struggled with the massive guy he was fighting and tried to warn V.
Suddenly a scream sounded somewhere. Lilah. Fucking hell.
He punched into hyperdrive. Running his knife into the chest of the lesser who was going at him with all his strength and running out to the fire escape to see that Lilah had both her guns leveled at the Lesser's chest who was just laughing at her as he stalked towards her in the alley.
Phury dematerialized right behind the lesser and started running towards him.
"The boss said you wouldn't come quietly."
Lilah shot then walking backward as her matching guns did her talking, the pale bastard barely stumbled as he advanced.
Phury ran faster, pushing himself even as he knew he couldn't get to them in time. He could see that she would be out of bullets any minute now.
The sweet smelling bastard took out a smaller gun from behind his back and shot her.
NO. NO. NO.
Phury launched into the air as he watched Lilah take a couple of steps really quick and fall backward and saw the absolute terror in her eyes.
She landed on her back with a harsh thud just as he launched onto the lesser's back with both his knives.
He didn't know how long he stabbed the lesser but knew that he was getting covered in the thick black blood that ran through the guy's body.
He saw Lilah's body spasm on the hard ground and ran over.
She was bleeding and he could hear her heart slow. He saw that the blood was trailing from her shoulder but there was no bullet.
He ran his hands over her chest and stomach trying to find the bullet hole. He spotted what was causing her discomfort then.
Rage racked his body and his eyes went red for a minute even though relief flooded him
The fucking lesser had shot her with a tranquilizer like a fucking animal.
He pulled her off the ground.
"Phil" a soft murmur escaped from her lips.
"It's okay Lilah, I am here." He saw V drag Butch from the Foyer of the building. He knew the cops would be here any minute thanks to all the gunshots.
"We need to get out of here!" V told him supporting Butch's weight on his side.
"Phil? Take my car but no hospital" She whispered to him, digging out the key fob from her gun holster. She was fading out, Phury could see her struggle to stay awake.
"Ok, Lilah. Just take it easy." He warned her, He didn't know what else to do as he ran to the big Merc SUV with her in his arms.
"Promise? No hosp"
"Yeah. Yeah, just relax"
"Promise?"
"I promise Lilah. No hospital." Phury looked at her long body in his arms, covered in blood, hers and lesser's and noted the eyes that were shut tight. "I promise thally, I promise. No Hospital."
