That's when things went crazy. I struggled to get up but she just put her fist to my temple in a hard quick punch and I was out like a light. I don't even remember waking up to find that she was gone and driving to tell the director what had happened. Maybe I had a concussion. They did that right...?
She was a mutant! That was crazy talk! Although it did make everything fit together. Her file, her strength, her abnormal behavior. Maybe this is what the director was trying to get me to find out! I did it! I always knew I could anyway. Never a doubt. I am the best there is in the business.
I was walking down the hall to the directors office. You know the one filled with the screams of the weak and petrified? To my ears it was like lovely music. It showed you were hitting the right spot. I didn't hear that from Maximum. I'm disappointed in myself I couldn't get her to scream too. After what she did to me at school I was looking forward to it.
Just before I was in the view of the cameras the director had set up I large mass forced me through a door planted in the side of the wall. My instincts kicked in to action and I threw my leg out and swung it around to try and swipe the feet from under the person who had pushed me. The person just jumped over my kick like my leg was a game of jump rope and punched me square in the face. I felt a trickle of blood run from my nose and to my upper lip. As I was regaining from the shock of being punched in the face again the person pushed my up against the wall and pushed their forearm in to my throat. Now this doesn't actually hurt but it is a very uncomfortable feeling. It's like being slowly choked to death but in the back of your mind you know you won't die from this. What also makes it uncomfortable is that now my nose blood is running into my mouth making me taste the bitter, metallic flavor. Grunting I try to push the person off me but I feel the poke of something sharp in my throat.
"Don't move." A steel-like voice said. I looked down to see a girl. A girl I recognised. It was Jay. Damn it! I knew something was different about her.
"What are you doing here?" I monotonously asked. As much as this was a surprise, I couldn't show weakness.
"I'm like you. Why else would I be here? Gosh some of these guys they have are really stupid." She hisses out. I can tell she doesn't like me a lot. Probably because I did the job she couldn't do, take Maximum out. Then again that wouldn't really add up seeing as she probably knew who I was. So that was what she was telling Maximum yesterday!
"Traitor." I whisper out. Her grip on my was stronger now and I could slowly feel less air being able to make its way to my lungs. This is bad, very bad. All she does is laugh. It's a bit hysterical but full of disbelief and sadness.
"Fuck, you caught me, huh?" She puffs out after she finally stopped laughing. I have a feeling her laughter was directed at me. "Now I have to kill you. Don't I?"
I waited for the knife to slit through my throat but nothing came. No pain. No pleasure of death.
"What do you want?" Everyone always wants something from you if they don't kill you instantly.
"Listen carefully and keep up. There is a lot you don't know which I'm willing to share if you cooperate. The first and only thing you need to know is that I can get you out of here. You won't have to do something you hate anymore." Now that she says it I really do hate this job. I cover it up with lyes to myself. With a dark humor. I liked having friends at school, even if it was for one day, I liked getting in trouble with my friends for things I didn't even do and I liked helping keep Maximum out of trouble. I really liked that.
"But it comes with a price. A price I'm sure you will be willing to pay." Jay continued. Of course it came with a price but I would really pay any price to get out of here. "I know you know Max is a mutant. So consider this. What sick bastards would do that to a kid? Sick bastards from here. Thats who."
Suddenly everything seemed to close in on me. I didn't know where up or down was, left or right. My world was spinning around me and I didn't know what to do. You're a bad person Fang. Nobody loves you. Everything I knew really was a lie. I had been lying to myself that I was the best and nothing affected me. I remember the man praying to a God I didn't know. He prayed for his children and wife. In his hour of death he didn't think about himself. He wanted his family to be safe. You're a bad person Fang. Nobody loves you. He wanted them to live happily. I wonder what did happen to his family. I sank down to the ground and cradled my knees to my chest. This can't be happening! I'm an assassin for gods sake! You're a bad person Fang. Nobody loves you.
From that point on I knew I could never live this life again. Killing another person would make me lose it. I would be more insane than I already am. I look at my hands. These hands killed so many. Sure they may have made a few mistakes in their life but who was I to come a rip away their life?
A hand cracked against the skin of my face bruising my cheek.
"Fang!" Jay yelled. I realised she had been saying my name for a while now. I look at her. right in the eye and I know she can tell I made my decision. A small smile graced her face and it lightened up all the features in her fcae. She was a pretty girl.
Jay moved her hand to her side from my neck and I was the 'knife' she was holding. Of course it wasn't actually a knife, it was a spork.
"You were going to kill me with a spork?" I asked dumbfounded. I mean can I say 'what the heck?' or what?
"Well no. I was going to kill you with my bare hands but I thought you might try and act all mucho man. So I saved you the pain of meeting my fist." She replied. So she thought she was better than me? Well this is new. Nobody is better than me. Maybe when we are out of here we can have a fight. We will see how 'mucho' she is then.
There was an awkward pause and I looked around the room to see where we were. There was a large circular table in the middle of the room with a projector out the front. It looked like a classic meeting room. Nothing fancy, just simple and sophisticated.
"So what now?" I asked Jay. After what she told me this place is giving me the creeps. She thought for a second, contemplating what move we should take to not make it look suspicious that we were in here together. After a few seconds of thought and evil grin plastered on on her face.
"Lets just run."
So now I was running, literally, for my life out of the building with Jay. In the beginning there were 7 people chasing us. Now it had gone down to 2 people. Jay had a few tricks up her sleeve to get some of the guards out of our way but not all of them were stupid enough to fall for her tricks. We were in an arms reach of the doors when I was tackled to the ground.
These guards are pretty useless as I swiftly kicked him in the head and he was out cold. I mean seriously! You should think about what the other persons move will be before you tackle them to the ground.
As I stood up I glanced at Jay who was inspecting her nails, beside her the guard that had lunged for her was bloody and bruised. His whole face was swelling and Jay, she was worrying about her manicure.
"Glad you could hurry up and make it." Tsk! Such a snide remark from a girl. I'm sure that guard was stupid and half fell for one of her tricks before she even got his hands on her... at least I hope thats the case anyway.
Gesturing my head to the door we run out. The streets were full of people (what better place to hide an evil institute than right in front of everyone?) and we blended in easily. Well Jay did, with what I'm sure my face looks like now, I would never blend in. So I pull up my hood and continue on my way. I follow Jay through the crowd as she dodged people by twirling and dancing out the way. It was truly a sight to see. She was so graceful.
I tried asking her where we where going but I got no reply.
