Chapter 11

Harder to Breathe

Snake Eyes and I both turn our heads to the door when it opens.

The rest of the Alpha teams walking in, they avert their eyes from me, because they have know idea what to say to me.

Red just looks at me and open and closes her mouth , as if what she wants to say isn't good enough.

I get up and walk up to Red, and I look at her.

"You, don't have to say you're sorry because its not your fault, and you don't have to comfort me because I'm strong enough to handle what happened. But I just need you to-"

I get cut off because she hugs me, I'm not good with people hugging me so I stay frozen in a state of shock.

She whispers in my ear "but I am sorry, and I will help you find your brother Chase."

She lets go off me and finishes her thought "we all will."

Ripcord comes up behind Red and puts a hand on her shoulder "Because we are a family now, whether you like it our not."

The other nod and cheer in agreement. Well alright then.

I give a slight smile and start walking off back to the control room. I feel the rest of my team following behind me.

When I walk into the room, Hawk gives me a onceover and decided that its safe to let me talk.

He dismisses everyone from the room except for the Alpha team. I walk over to the panel and starts hacking into the computer to get into the information I need.

"So you all are sure you want to help me? Because once you agree there is no going back. And trust me these are people that you don't want to pick a fight with."

Duke steps forward "I think I answer for everyone when I say, there is no way we are letting you do this alone"

The others smile for resurment and I give a sigh.

"well alright then. First you need to learn I came to be what I am. My real name is Alyson Carter. I was originally from Pasadena California, where my parents were your run of the mill normal people. When I was 5 my parents were shot and killed by these 3 people."

I type in a few things into the computer and pull up three pictures.

"First we have Erik Morozov he is, well a dumbass he uses more of his strength then his brain. Next we have Nicholas Orotoff he is a sneaky SOB who likes to use planning and tactics for everthing he does. He isn't the strongest, but he makes up for it with his smarts."

I enlarge the picture of the fiery red head, I can see Red turn and look at me, as if the answers all of my aggression towards her.

"And last, and certainly the most deadliest we have Anya Novosova. She is the brains of the operation. She is not only the leader, but she is a trained assassin as well. And together the group make up Genesis. A self proclaimed group headed in Russia, to create perfect human weapons. And unlucky for me I was picked first."

I pull up an image of an ancient looking castle and show it to my team.

"this is the base for Genesis. This is where I was raised and brought up to be the perfect weapon. In every sense of the word. I was later joined by Adam Burke and Katarina Pierce.

Katarina being the one named Shadow who you saw earlier. Katarina, or Shadow and I have a long standing history. We used to be the best of friends, but she later become my rival when she killed Adam, who was also my boyfriend.

Anyways I escaped, at a cost and I went looking for my brother Jason. I had left him with a woman named Rose Anderson.

When I found them, I told my brother the whole story, and told him what I did for a living. He took it surpisingly well. But anyways that is the summary of my life. Any question?"

I turn and look at Red, who surprise surprise has a question.

"yeah Red."

"this Genesis how did it operate so well under radar?"

"Anya as much of a bitch she is, she knows some pretty powerful people, so you get the picture."

Duke turns and looks at me. "So where are we going to start?"

I smile " Rome".

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

When we arrive in Rome, I decided that we should blend in with the crowd. So I slipped on a White tank top and some jean shorts, and some white low top converse, and of course my aviators.

"So uh Chase were exactly are we going?"

I turned to Ripcord who looked complety out of breath "I mean we have been walking for a couple hours"

"Relax Rip we're here."

I turn the corner and arrive at a shady looking bar.

" stay out here."

The rest of the team looks at me and starts to protest.

"fine you can walk inside and look out for danger." I roll my eyes and open the door.

When you walk in all you see is scary looking men, who look like they should be locked up.

The cigar smell is everywhere, filling the room with smoke. There are pool tables all over, and tables filled with alchoal.

When I take off my glasses and loop then on my shorts buckle, the room goes quite.

There is yelling in Italian, and dirty looks directed right at me. The bartender is the one who decides to address me in English.

"What are you doing here. You are not welcome here anymore Chase."

"I came to see Paulo. "

"you will not see any-"

The bartender get cut off by big guys with guns who just came out of a backroom.

"Paulo will see you"

I smile "of course he will"

I turn around and look at my teammates. "Stay out here, and this time I'm not taking a no for an answer."

"your crazy if you think we are going to stand out here if you go in there alone, at least take the ninja with you!" I give Ripcord a look.

I give a big huff and finally say fine. I start walking behind the big guards and I start signing to Snake Eyes.

I'm letting you come, but you cant get involved do you understand?

He looks at me and quickly signs back if I see any danger I AM going to get involved, I'm not going to stand by and watch you get hurt.

I give him a long hard look and finally reply you ARE just going to stand by. I don't care what happens in that room, I know how to take care of myself. I know how he works and I know I can take them. You have know idea what I am capable of.

And with that the conversation ends. The door opens and I am welcomed into a dark sound proof room with a dingy ceiling light.

And man sits a metal desk in a metal chair. He gets up with a smile of his face.

"Chou Bella! Il suo stato da tempo."

"yes it has been a long time Paulo. But sadly I haven't come to catch up, I need some information."

He gives me a look and motions for me to sit down. I sit down in the cold metal seat and prepare myself for what I am about to do.

"What kind of information do you need?"

"I need to know where Katarina is, or the last place she was."

"ah yes, I heard about your brother, such a shame. But Bella, I have no idea where she is. So if that's all you needed then its time for you to go. "

The guards motion for me to get up, and I do.

"I know your lying to me. But the question is who are you more scared of her of me?"

"Portarla via"

"wrong choice"

The guards come at me, big guard number one tried to lung at me but I kick him in the face and he goes down.

Big guard number two takes out his gun and points it at me, I pull at the gun, and twist it out of his hand. I shoot him in the neck, and he collapses to the floor.

I walk over to Paulo.

"your going to tell me what I want to know."

"I think not Bella."

The first guard comes up behind me, and pulls me into a choke hold. He's so big that my feet dangle at the floor.

Ok Chase time for some quick thinking here.

I pull out the knife that I had hidden in my shorts and I stab him in the stomach, he lets me go and I land on the floor in a crouch.

He starts cursing in Italian, and points his gun at me.

I take the knife that I still had in my hand at throw it at his head. He falls to the floor.

I walk over to Paulo.

"You were saying?"

He starts to panic know and he pulls out a gun.

I laugh and I take it from him and shoot him the the leg. He starts to scream and yell.

"tell me Paulo I would hate to have to kill you, and not have gotten any information."

"Alright wait! She, she was still working for Genesis! If anyone would know where she is it would be Anya! And you know exactly where she is."

"Russia"

"yes!"

"well thank you Paulo, you have been very helpful to me."

I start to walk away, but I turn around.

"one more thing"

And I shoot him in the head.

I turn back around and I see Snake Eyes looking at me. I had forgotten he as there. My eyes start to shake. What could he be thinking about me?

I'm grateful that he has the visor. I wouldn't want to see the look in his eyes.

So we're off to Russia?

I nod my head.

He starts to walk out, and I follow him. I toss the gun to the floor and head out back to the bar.

My team is waiting for us, and when we walk out they just look at me.

"Why do you have blood on you? And why is your hair messed up?"

I turn to look at my left side where I had stabbed the guard. Great is blood stained my nice whites shirt.

"it's a long story."

"did you get the info?"

"yeah, we are going to Russia."

(A/N) ok so here is chapter 11! I hope you liked looking at a "darker" side of Chase. How far is she willing to go to save her brother? And will it ruin her 'realtionship' with Snake Eyes?
