I am Caine

by Alisa and Helen

Part 9

While Caine had been revealing to David's instructors who he was, everyone had failed to notice that someone else had been listening at an open window. That man now rushed to the parking lot and was soon driving north. He pulled out a cell-phone and dialed a number.

"You told me to tell you when he has arrived."

"Good. The game can begin then."

"There is a problem though."

Bon Bon Hai listened to the man on the other end of the phone line. His face became a mask. As he hung up the phone, he knew it would do no good to display what he was feeling. He had to concentrate. If the others discovered that the man they held was not Caine, there would be hell to pay. Even Bon Bon Hai answered to a higher power.

"We must prepare to leave. We will take our prisoner with us."

"Where will we be going, Master?" one of Bon Bon Hai's men questioned.

"Home, back to Chinatown. Quickly now, we must leave within the hour. I will speak to our prisoner while you make the preparations."

Bon Bon Hai entered the prisoner's cell. He observed from the doorway that David was lying on a cot, beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. Bon Bon Hai crossed over to the stricken man and bent to speak to him.

"Your counterpart is here. All the better to see both of you die and the memory of Caine wiped from both worlds, but not just yet. This battle will continue elsewhere. We must not be discovered too soon. Besides, we will need two others for this game, those who also have been thorns in my side for far too long."

At that moment, one of Bon Bon Hai's men entered the cell.

"Everything has been prepared."

"Good. Bind him and make sure he cannot escape. Then give him a sedative. Call the airport and have my private plane made ready."

Bon Bon Hai watched with satisfaction as David Carradine was taken from the cell. 'Let's see the Shaolin figure out where his 'twin brother' can be found now,' he thought as he followed his prisoner out the door.
