Chapter 8 – Missing You

"When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought" William Shakespeare - Sonnet 30

The Search for Marik Ishtar

Mai and Serenity drove along the main street of Domino it was your typical Friday night in the City the party people were out on the town and all the nightclubs were hopping Serenity was drooling over all the hot guys that she saw it was summer so the guys had no under shirts and most had their shirts unbuttoned which was driving Serenity nuts.

"Would you calm down?" Mai snapped driving her way through the crowd.

"All I want to do is find a nice guy." Serenity protested.

"Were here to find Marik not a boyfriend for you." Mai snapped back.

"Well its not my fault you found the perfect guy, I'd just like that same opportunity." Serenity protested now flicking through Mai's music collection.

"I think you've been hanging around Téa to long." Mai commented Serenity looked up and smirked.

"Maybe." Serenity agreed.

"So where to first boss?" Serenity asked.

"You tell me you the girl with the info?" Mai asked.

"Right." Serenity said quickly filing through the info they had on Marik.

"He owns a nightclub, the fifty one, nearby." Serenity said consulting the Vipers street computer.

"Good we'll head their first." Mai said speeding up.

"If he knows we're coming he won't be easy to find." Serenity pointed out.

"Maybe so Serenity but we have to look anyway." Mai agreed.

The Motou Household

Yugi sat looking down at his essay, it had been a couple of days since Mai and Serenity had left and in that time he'd gotten zero work done,

'It's no use I can't work right now.' Yugi thought tossing the book he was reading aside leaning back on the couch.

'I wonder what Mai's doing, what if she's still planning to kill me, why didn't she when those goons attacked me?' Yugi mused.

'I'd never met anyone like her before she was so confident and yet so kind, her eyes sparkled when she laughed, but that was all a lie she just pretended to be like that to get close to me.' Yugi thought angrily.

His mind turned back to the last thing Mai said to him, "One thing that wasn't a lie Yugi, I do love you."

"I loved her to." Yugi said quietly and sadly.

The Fifty One

Mai and Serenity entered the club almost gagging inhaling some of the smoke that hung heavily in the air Mai looked around the club the walls floor and ceiling were all coloured black to the left at the bottom of the stairs Mai and Serenity were standing at the top of was a bar in front of them was several tables also coloured black beyond the tables was a stage a large metal pole protruded from the middle extending to the ceiling.

Mai and Serenity walked down the stairs to the bar after a short wait the barman came over,

"If you're here to apply for the dancing job go round back." The barman said looking at Mai.

"I'm not." Mai began however the barman cut her off.

"Yeah whatever lady round back." The barman said pointing his thumb at a side door.

"Listen you sleazebag I'm not here to take off my clothes and dance for these perverts I'm looking for your boss?" Mai said grabbing the front of the barman's shirt pressing her gun against his chest.

"He's, he's not here, Ms." The barman said with a slightly more respectful tone.

"Then where is he?" Mai asked.

"I, I don't know where he is." The barman said in fear his eyes flickering down towards the gun.

"Who does?" Mai asked.

"Duke, Duke Devlin." The barman said fearfully.

"Thank you." Mai said dropping the barman on the floor walking out Serenity walking behind her.

"Wouldn't Duke Devlin be in there?" Serenity asked as they got back into the Viper outside.

"Members of the Yakuza don't hang around places like that." Mai explained Serenity gasped.

"The Yakuza!? Mai are you absolutely sure we want to do this?" Serenity asked fearful.

"We're dead anyway Serenity what's the Japanese Mafia coming after us?" Mai asked and Serenity nodded.

"Where do we find the Devlin guy?" Serenity asked.

Mai thought for a moment, "There is a place nearby he could be its called the Meridian night club." Mai said starting up the car.

"Then lets go." Serenity said excitably.

Mai drove for ten minutes before arriving outside the Meridian night club the club was surrounded by beefy looking guards they made no bones about the fact they were carrying powerful rifles Mai looked through binoculars at them,

"The guards at the front are only carrying pistols but the ones just inside the front doors are carrying P-90's as are the guards on the second level balcony." Mai said Serenity coughed and spluttered beside her hearing what the guards were carrying.

"Are they waging a war?" Serenity asked sarcastically looking through the binoculars herself.

"I don't think they've ever heard of the overkill concept." Mai stated as she prepared to enter the club.

Mai and Serenity exited the car and walked confidently towards the entrance none of the guards stopped them as they entered.

Mai and Serenity stopped at the entrance of the main ballroom Explosive by Bond was being played by the live band the room was completely different than the Fifty One the night club was elegant the architecture was Victorian in style to the right the band played along the back wall stood a handsome dark wood bar most of the main ballroom was encased in a similar dark wood to the bar,

"Where's Devlin?" Serenity asked.

Mai looked around spotting a man with long black hair near the back he was dressed in a black singlet and a red vest with dark pants he was surrounded by woman giggling insanely as he showed off.

Mai and Serenity walked over to him,

"Well what have I done to deserve the presence of such fine looking ladies?" Devlin asked smirking.

"You'll find out." Mai said walking towards him provocatively as she approached him she stroked his face gently sticking her 9 mill into his gut.

"One sound." Mai said quietly smiling at him Devlin nodded and Devlin Mai and Serenity started walking towards the back.

"I want to know where Marik Ishtar is?" Mai said pushing Devlin against a wall in a room of the basement of the club.

"I don't know where he is." Devlin spat.

"Pity for you," Mai said shooting him in the shoulder.

"Every time you lie to me I'll shot you in a ball socket that includes the one between your legs." Mai said smirking aiming her gun at his groin.

"I don't know anything." Devlin yelled gripping his now useless right arm.

"Pity." Mai said again shooting him in the left arm.

"I STILL DON'T KNOW ANYTHING?!?" Devlin yelled.

Mai ran up to him placing her arm above his head and pressing her gun into his groin again.

"Such a pity." Mai said smirking discharging her weapon.

Devlin screamed a high pitched piecing scream from the depths of his body as the bullet entered the wall behind him he collapsed to the floor the blood now pouring out of his body.

"Now tell me?" Mai asked.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, HE'S AT HIS MANSION HE'S HIDING FROM THE TWO OF YOU?!" Devlin screamed.

"Thank you." Mai said as she and Serenity walked out leaving Devlin to bleed.

"Now what?" Serenity asked as they got back into the car.

"Now we kill Marik,"
