Chapter 15
The truth unveiled
Due to Garnet's armor, the punch did nothing, and he didn't even flinch. "Calm the fuck down," he replied, rolling his eyes behind his visor, holding up his hands. "One: Never said I was jealous of you being with Sapph. I don't know how you even got that idea. Two: If I didn't do it, Sapphire was going to. And that would have just been awkward for the both of you." He seemed so nonchalant about it, and he was trying to hold in his anger. It took a lot to keep him from blasting another bullet into this dick's chest. He then turned to Sapphire, "I got some information off of Platinum before she died. G.U.N. is planning to dispatch a soldier to the Insurgents to get in. Something about they're going to try and stop someone from taking the Insurgents down." He shrugged, "She's always known more than we have. Wish I didn't have to kill her, but she left me no choice."
Sapphire nodded, taking the disc from Niko and pocketing it. "Got it. That's good to know. Though, don't know why G.U.N. wants the Insurgents to stay alive. Last time I checked, they hated us." She seemed totally unfazed by Niko's outburst; she had more important things to worry about. The Insurgents that had gone with Garnet and had gone in the house returned had started for the transport with Garnet, driven by none other than Four Seven Niner.
Looking over at Niko once again, Sapphire put her helmet back on and grabbed her weapon. She held the gun protectively against her at a diagonal angle, like normal. "Niko, you've gotta calm down about Garnet. I don't see what issue you have with him, other than he just shot you in the chest. He did what he had to do, though." She started after the other Insurgents, but looked over her shoulder and called back, "You've been a big help, Nik."
"Yeah…you're welcome…" Niko said as he walked back home. He didn't want anything else to do with the insurgents for a while and all the info Platinum gave him he gave them, so he didn't see a need to continue working with them. As he walked inside, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and what he heard was a voice he recognized as Silver the Hedgehog.
"Niko, we need to talk about what you've been doing lately." He said bluntly. "I'm coming over."
"Wait a sec." Niko said."How do you know what I've….never mind."
Sure enough the doorbell rang and Niko could hear Skye upstairs crying. He ran upstairs and picked up Skye and walked up to the door.
"Where's your mom, Skye?" He asked as he approached the door.
"I don't know…." Skye replied. "She left and hasn't come back."
Niko opened up the door to see Silver and the G.U.N starting at him.
"Oh crap." Niko said. Putting Skye on the couch. "I'll be back...probably…tell your mom I came back, but I had to go somewhere, okay?"
"Okey dokey, Niki!" Skye said. Niko turned to the G.U.N and nodded.
"Alright." He said, as he was getting handcuff put on him. "This is just for questioning right?"
Uh oh! Will Niko really go to prison? Will Sapphire save him and why is she so serious at the moment? All those questions will get answers next chapter…stay tuned and R&R! I could really use reviews guys! This is one of the few stories I made without them….
