Later that night...
12:30am
Black Dragons Headquarters
Wyatt was outside Cassie's cell, standing guard. Cassie sat down in her cell. She leaned her head and her back against the wall and was sleeping. Whenever a Black Dragon was guarding her cell, Cassie never slept, no matter how sleepy she was. She always stayed awake so she could be on guard. However, whenever Wyatt was on guard duty, she could sleep. She felt that she could trust Wyatt. Wyatt was the Second in Command Leader of the Black Dragons. However, Cassie knew that Wyatt wouldn't hurt her. Since Wyatt was on guard duty, Cassie was sleeping soundly. She had been sleeping for hours.
Wyatt looked into her cell to check on her. He saw that she was still sleeping and he smiled a bit.
"She really must be exhausted. She must be tired from all her smack talking." Wyatt thought to himself, chuckling.
Wyatt kept staring affectionately at the beautiful, sleeping blonde.
"I hope she's able to return to her family soon. Though I will miss her company though." Wyatt thought to himself.
Just then, Norah walked up to Wyatt. He turned around when he heard her approaching.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Your dad wants to see you." said Norah.
Wyatt nodded and followed Norah to meet Kano. Kano was in his office, throwing daggers at a dart board. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." said Kano, going up to the dart board.
Wyatt and Norah walked in.
"Kano, you said you wanted to see me?" Wyatt asked.
"Yeah." said Kano, grabbing the daggers from the dart board. "I want to have a meeting with you, Norah and Owen. Where the hell is Owen anyway?"
"I went to his room to call him. He said he was coming." said Norah.
"That dumbass is always bloody late." said Kano, who threw a dagger at the dart board.
Just then, Owen walked in. His face was bruised and a bit swollen from the beat down he got from Wyatt earlier.
"What the hell happened to you?" Kano asked Owen. "You look like shit."
Owen looked at Wyatt. Wyatt gave Owen a glare. It was a threatening glare that warned Owen not to say anything, or else he'll get another beat down.
"Uh...it's nothing Boss. Just got in a bit of a scuffle." said Owen.
"So, what's the meeting for Boss?" Norah asked, sitting down on a wooden chair.
"I wanted to let you lot know about the plan regarding our hostage." said Kano.
"I was actually going to ask you about that." said Wyatt. "So what's the plan? When are we going to exchange her for Special Forces' Intel?"
Kano started laughing. He laughed so loudly. Wyatt, Norah and Owen looked at each other with confusion as Kano kept laughing.
"Um…what's so funny?" Wyatt asked.
"There isn't going to be an exchange." Kano said, laughing.
Wyatt raised his eyebrow.
"What do you mean there isn't going to be an exchange?" Wyatt asked.
"I mean that we're going to meet up with Cassie's parents." said Kano. "We'll bring Cassie and tell them to give us the Intel. Once they give us the Intel, they'll think that we'll give them Cassie…but instead…I'm going to kill her…right in front of them."
Wyatt's eyes went wide in shock.
"Shit Boss! That is sick! I like it!" said Owen, laughing.
"What…what do you mean you're gonna kill her? I thought you made a deal with her parents. You said you wouldn't kill Cassandra. You said you just wanted to use her to get the Intel! You made a deal Kano…why are you going against your word?" said Wyatt, raising his voice.
"I told her parents that I wouldn't kill her, but I lied." said Kano, smirking evilly. "I am going to get my revenge on Sonya Blade. I am going to destroy her life. Not only will I take down Special Forces…but I will kill the person she loves the most. Right in front of her very eyes."
Wyatt stared at Kano with shock. Kano went up to him and smirked.
"Revenge is sweet my boy." said Kano, patting Wyatt on the shoulder.
Wyatt kept staring at Kano with a shocked look on his face.
"So, when is this plan going down?" asked Norah.
"Tomorrow at midnight." said Kano. "I'm going to contact Johnny and Sonya and tell them. I can't wait to see the look of horror on their faces when I kill their little brat. HAHAHAHAHA!"
Kano looked at Wyatt. Wyatt still looked shocked and upset.
"The fuck is your problem? What's with the long face?" Kano asked.
Wyatt didn't say anything.
"Oh…I see…" said Kano, smirking "…You've got the hots for blondie aye?"
Kano started laughing.
"Aw! Ain't that just lovely? My son has a crush!" said Kano, laughing. "I know that Cassie is easy on the eyes. It's a shame to kill such a babe like her, but I need to get revenge on her annoying parents. Especially Sonya."
"You're going to get all the Intel on Special Forces. With that Intel, Special Forces will cease to exist. Isn't that enough? Killing Cassandra isn't necessary." said Wyatt.
Kano punched Wyatt in the face. He punched him again and again. Kano's punches were so hard that Wyatt fell to the floor. He then kicked Wyatt's stomach again and again. Norah cringed as Kano was beating Wyatt. She wanted to help Wyatt, but there was nothing she could do. Owen smiled a bit, happy that Wyatt was getting beat up. After Kano kicked Wyatt's stomach a few more times, he kicked his face and then he was done beating him. Wyatt laid on the floor, holding his stomach and groaning in pain.
"Fucking pussy!" Kano yelled. "Don't get soft on me you little shit!"
Kano looked at Norah and Owen.
"Meeting dismissed. Get the fuck outta here!" Kano yelled.
Owen walked out of the room. Norah went up to Wyatt to help him stand up. She put her arm around his waist and wanted to help him walk. However, he gently removed her hand.
"I'm good, thanks." said Wyatt.
Norah nodded and Wyatt limped out of the room. Norah walked out and closed the door.
"Little sissy." said Kano as he threw a dagger at the dart board. He then went up to the computer monitor to call Johnny and Sonya.
4:00am
Cassie was awake but tired. She woke up 3 hours ago. When she woke up, she called Wyatt, but there was no answer. She figured that he must have left. She was sitting down, staring at the wall. She wondered if Wyatt had talked to Kano. She couldn't wait for Wyatt to update her. She hoped that she was getting out of this cell and getting out soon. She sighed.
Just then, Wyatt ran up to the door.
"Wyatt." said Cassie.
Wyatt opened the door and went up to her. He had a look of concern and panic on his face.
"Wyatt…what's wrong?" Cassie asked when she saw the look on his face.
"I'm getting you out of here." He said.
"Wait, what?" Cassie exclaimed.
Cassie was so happy to hear that he was helping her escape. However, she was also surprised. Why would he help her? He was a Black Dragon and she was one of the good guys. Why would he turn against the Black Dragons? Why would he turn against Kano?
"Wyatt I appreciate you helping me, but I don't get it. Why are you helping me? We're on different sides."
"I was wrong about Kano. I thought that he was going to keep you alive, but he lied." said Wyatt. "He had no intention of returning you to your parents. He was going to kill you in front of your parents after he took the Intel."
"That son of a bitch." said Cassie. She looked at Wyatt. "Um…no offense."
"None taken. I don't disagree with you. Kano is a son of a bitch. I thought he would keep his word to your parents, but he lied all along. But don't worry, he's not going to kill you. I'm not going to let that happen."
Wyatt bent down. He placed his wristband near the collars on her ankles. He looked at Cassie.
"Cassandra…before I release you from these collars, I need to know something."
"What?" Cassie asked.
"I need to know that once I release you…that you're not going to attack me. Because if you do injure me and you try and escape…there's no way that you can get out of this place without getting caught. You need my help to get out of here. So Cassandra…can I trust you not to attack me? And can you trust me?"
Cassie stared at Wyatt for a few seconds.
"I won't attack you Wyatt. I swear. And yes…I trust you." She said, staring into his brown eyes.
Wyatt nodded and tapped buttons on his wristband. The wristband and the collars made beeping noises. After the beeping noises stopped, Wyatt unlocked the latches of the collars. He removed the collars from Cassie's ankles and tossed them away. Cassie felt so happy that those annoying collars were off her legs. Cassie stood up and she and Wyatt looked into each other's eyes.
"Come on, let's go." said Wyatt, who grabbed her hand.
Cassie nodded and they ran out of the cell.
Wyatt held her hand as they cautiously walked through the hallways of the huge building. Most of the Black Dragons were asleep. They were some who were awake on guard duty. Wyatt used the holographic map on his wristband to see if they were any guards around. Wyatt avoided the areas with guards.
After walking around for fifteen minutes, Wyatt and Cassie went up to a wall in one of the hallways. Cassie raised her eyebrow in confusion. She was wondering why Wyatt led her to a wall. She was about to ask him, when he put his wristband near the wall. He pressed buttons on his wristband which made beeping sounds. After a few seconds, the wall slid open.
"Come on." said Wyatt, who stretched out his hand and grabbed Cassie's hand.
Cassie held his hand and they walked inside the wall entrance. They entered a rock tunnel. The tunnel was a bit dim, and had flame torches on the walls. Wyatt picked up one of the torches.
"This is one of the few secret tunnels we have here in Headquarters. We use the tunnels just in case we have an emergency. I guarantee you that none of the other Black Dragons are here." said Wyatt.
"This tunnel is pretty creepy. You guys could have done a better job with the interior design. Maybe added a few chandeliers." said Cassie, being witty as usual.
Wyatt chuckled.
They walked through the tunnel until they reached the exit. They walked out of the exit and stepped outside. Cassie was so happy to be outdoors. She closed her eyes and sighed in relief, enjoying the fresh air. They were still in the Black Dragon Headquarters but Cassie was happy to be outside. Wyatt parked his motorcycle by the tunnel earlier because he was going to help her escape. They went up to the motorcycle. Wyatt turned to Cassie and brought out a blindfold from his pocket.
"Sorry Cassandra, but I'm going to have to blindfold you." said Wyatt.
"Woah Wyatt…we don't know each other well enough to do kinky shit to each other. I mean I'm flattered, but no thanks." said Cassie, smirking.
"What?! No, I-I don't want us to do kinky stuff to each other." Wyatt exclaimed, looking uncomfortable and blushing. "Why would you think that?"
"Dude. I was kidding." said Cassie with a smirk on her face.
"Oh." said Wyatt, who was still blushing.
"But seriously, why do you have to blindfold me?"
"I'm driving you back home and I don't want you to know the location of our headquarters. You're Special Forces. I'm a Black Dragon. You could tell your army about our location. I can't risk that."
Cassie sighed.
"I understand." She said.
She turned around. Wyatt went up behind her. He stared at her beautiful, toned body. And he couldn't help but stare at her ass. Her beautiful, perfectly shaped ass. Wyatt shook his head to get back to reality. He then tied the blindfold around her. Cassie turned around. Wyatt held her hand.
"Alright, come on…let me lead you to my motorcycle."
Wyatt helped Cassie get on the motorcycle and he put a helmet on her. He got on the motorcycle and put on his helmet as well. Cassie held on tightly to his waist.
"Riding a motorcycle blindfolded. This should be fun." said Cassie, sarcastically.
"Don't worry Cassandra, I'll get you home safe." said Wyatt. "Hold on tight."
Wyatt started the engine and sped off. He drove up to an electronic gate and the gate automatically slid open. He kept on driving.
Wyatt and Cassie rode through the open road. The sky was clear and dark. Cassie enjoyed the wind blowing on her as the motorcycle accelerated at high speed. Cassie kept holding Wyatt's waist. After driving for a while, she felt tired. She leaned against his back and rested her head on his back as well. Wyatt was blushing as Cassie leaned against him. He felt her boobs on his back. Her hands felt so nice around his waist. She felt so warm against him. Wyatt was happy that he was wearing a helmet and she was blindfolded. He didn't want her to see him madly blushing. They drove for some time until they got into the city. Wyatt drove up to an alley, which was a few blocks from Special Forces Headquarters.
He parked and turned off the engine. He took off his helmet and turned to Cassie.
"Can I take off this stupid blindfold now?" Cassie asked, now that he had parked the vehicle.
Wyatt chuckled.
"Yes you may." said Wyatt.
Cassie took off the helmet and then she took off the blindfold. She looked around and saw that she was back in the city. She got off the motorcycle and she and Wyatt stared into each other's eyes.
"Um…" said Cassie, clearing her throat "…I believe this belongs to you."
Cassie smiled and gave the helmet back to him.
"You're a few blocks from Special Forces Headquarters." said Wyatt. "Go home to your family. And be careful, okay?"
"Wyatt…" said Cassie, who gently placed her hand on his arm, "Thank you. I appreciate everything you've done for me."
Wyatt smiled and gently took her hand. He raised her hand to his lips and kissed it. Cassie's eyes went wide in surprise. She felt electricity all over her body when his lips made contact with her hand. She tried not to blush, but she couldn't help it.
"You're welcome Cassandra Cage." said Wyatt, smiling.
Cassie's heart was beating so fast as they stared into each other's eyes. Wyatt turned on the engine and was about to put on his helmet.
"You don't have to go back." said Cassie. "You're a good person Wyatt. Even though you don't want to admit it…you are. You're not like Kano. You can turn your life around. Join Special Forces. You're smart, resourceful, a great fighter…Special Forces could use a guy like you. You're so much better than the Black Dragons Wyatt."
She looked into his eyes.
"Don't go." She said.
Wyatt sighed.
"You know, it's funny…my father is an evil, ruthless killer. He's a monster. He's barely nice to me. A part of me despises him…but I also love and greatly respect him. I wouldn't be the mercenary I am today if not for Kano. I can't leave. I'm loyal to the Black Dragons…and I am loyal to Kano."
Cassie stared at Wyatt, her eyes and her face were telling him not to go back.
"Goodbye Cassandra." said Wyatt.
Cassie sighed.
"Goodbye Wyatt."
Wyatt put on his helmet. He looked at her and then sped off. Cassie stood there, staring as he rode away, back to Kano and the Black Dragons.
