Chapter nineteen
Confrontation between employer and assassin
...Rooftops—fifteen minutes later...
Running fast as possibly she could to return back to the Foot HQ's then finally came to halt when she panted and breathed for fresh air to fill her lungs, while she stood on the rooftop and wondered curiously what the strange red symbol stood for.
Raising her hand once more and glared the evidence that could bring her down. She knew what must to be done was. Taking out her lighter and burned it—all til was nothing more than ash.
Inhaled a deep breathe than upheld her vow. Climbing down the wall of the building then emerged within the busy crowds and continued to the building, covering her identity with the hat and collars of the black trench coat.
The doors automatically opened and walked inside then up towards the reception. "Yes, may I help you?" the man asked
"Yes—I have news to give to your employer." She answered, lowly not once revealed her identity. "Wait here." he inquested, reaching for the phone and as he looked up—the room was empty. Quickly pushed the chair back and looked round for the unidentified trench coated visitor when he was spoken to by Saki, waiting for an answer on the other end. "Yes sir—I assume whoever it was that wished to see you, must be on their way up, sir. Understood."
Pressing the red button that silently alerted troops below to prepare and protect their master as they may be threatened by the assigned assassin.
...in the elevator...
Standing in the elevator, waiting for it to reached the level as she took the hat and coat that was covered in blood—allowing it to drop to the floor. As the doors opened, she took a step out of the elevator slowly when she sensed and could smell that company was coming.
Leaping up above as she drove her claws into the ceiling and held herself up, waiting for whoever drew closer. The troops arrived the hallway, stopped outside the elevator and peeked inside. Blankly glanced, eachother than took in different directions while two remained behind and search the hallway.
Her stomach lowly rumbled, stating she was hungry and her animalistic, uncontrollable side began to surface again. Her eyes grew blood red as the lusting hunger tried to over take her senses when she dropped down and lunged the unexpected soldiers, swung her clawed hands across their faces and bitten their throats, gorging herself on their flesh. Finally satisfied, stood up and wiped the blood away from her mouth as she stepped over the mutilated corpse and continued to the chambers where Saki occupied.
...Saki's private chambers
Knowingly that he will be facing the assassin as he assumed her to be, with a small case of cash waiting on his desk. Standing in the shadows, holding a tanto in his hand—in case of unexpected attack, which will happen. Five seconds later—the doors flung opened as it were thrown off their hinders then a strong feminine framed figure walked inside.
Admiring her beauty, as recited in his mind—Their last meeting, earlier.
...Flashback...
"Such a shame for one so beautiful that only knows nothing but—kill." Desirably wanted a strong and blood thirsty partner like to have by his side as he watched the female assassin leave his chambers. "If only she proves useful for my cause." He softly wondered
...end of flashback...
Walking through the room, silently and listened to any signs of unexpected attacks. Circling around she walked to the centre, had her back to the window where suddenly Saki stood, silently. Slowly taking the tanto out of it protective case, assuming to be unheard when Brenna heard the metal slid out of its case as if it made a slicing sound that is normally made when in use.
Stopped in her tracks and made the enemy to be unaware of his attack, slowly walked towards his prey's blindside. Brenna smirked, cockily grinningly when she swiftly kicked in the torso of Saki then leaped up—hiding herself in the shadows, stalking him.
"How does it feel to be the prey, Mr Saki?" Brenna said, coldly—walking towards the slightly injured man.
"Who's the prey here? Certainly not me—mydear." He stated coldly, throwing the tanto. Brenna saw the knife flying towards her, hastily ducked down—avoiding the weapon making its mark within her flesh. Receiving a light slash over her shoulder as she wasn't fast—enough, placing pressure on her wound when she met the knee cap, making her wince as she fell backward to the floor.
Saki stood over her, evilly smug as he evilly glared down her then retrieved another tanto from his back. The shining light that ran along the blade slightly blinded her for a second as he slowly knelt with the knife ready to be driven into her flesh. "Any last words before you die, my dear?" Saki lowly hissed.
"Sure is—THIS!" Brenna answered, sharply drove her own knee into Saki's groin. Closing his eyes, doubled over as he fell to the floor on his side as Brenna rose up and tried to finish what she began when hearing the hallway is swarming with approaching footsteps.
Instead of finishing what she had started, she turned the heel and ran towards to the window and quickly grabbed the suitcase from the table nearby then prepared to leap out when she met a bullet in her shoulder, blood splattered everywhere around the frame of the window as she ignored the excruciating pain and continued out the window with loud strange howling yelp that escaped her throat. Breaking through the glass window and fell to the street outside.
"Master! Master! Are you alright sir?" Hun exclaimed, hurrying to his lord's side, followed by the building medics, even though he only had minor bruising. "Follow her Hun—I want her alive."
"Yes Sir—foot ninja and purple dragons follow me." Hun demanded
"Master Shredder you only have minor injuries but you'll live." Medic said
"Good—prepare the genetics lab. We have another freak that has interesting genes." Saki demanded
The medic nodded and left the room, leaving saki to walk towards the window and look out it. Only to find nothing but broken glass shards covering the pavement below. No body—but small pool of blood though.
Just when he was about to turn, he discovered a shard that was covered in blood and hair...that appeared to more wolf's fur then human hair strands.
Picking the shard and hair up then evilly smug as only one word escaped his lips. "Freak!"
Walking away from the broken window and disappeared down the waiting elevator.
...meanwhile...in a nearby alleyway...
Brenna grasped her shoulder after placing the suitcase down beside, and kept pressure on it as the blood flowed and hid behind the dumpster while she was followed. Peeking around the edge of the dumpster and saw three men in black, walking down following the blood trail that led to her—leading to where she hid. "Shit!" she muttered.
She ill-afford to be discovered where she hid, and she was loosing too much blood. Needing blood to replenish her own, reaching for a bottle cap near her foot. Flicking it to roll across the pavement as she made her quick second thought to hid behind large pile of wooden crates.
As the three soldiers went to investigate and sought nothing hiding, standing straight and scratched their heads when one of their comrades were taken from behind and killed. Separated in different directions but not far from eachother's company as the second was taken swiftly then had his throat slashed then lastly five seconds later, silently walked up behind the last soldier that should had known better with his skills was over powered by Brenna, receiving his own katana driven through his skull. Brenna twisted the blade in the soldier's skull until she heard a crunch then pulled the sword out, allowing the soldier to fall upon the ground and as the blood ran, covering the pavement.
Taking the sword with her as she turned her heel and returned back to the other soldiers and quickly gorged herself their flesh and their—blood, before taking off again as a scream shrieked through the alley way. Luckily she wasn't seen when she disappeared—but she could had been discovered, then she wasn't, which extremely lucky—there won't be a second time.
Running to the nearest shadow where she could climb up the wall then completely disappear but her shoulder still bled and needed attention. Then realising that she had left the suitcase behind with her smudged fingerprints covered the handle. 'Fuck!' she thought but there was no chance of going back and grabbing the case now.
Fifteen minutes later...in the alley way across the street with the crime scene.
The terrapins watched and listened to the foundings of what appeared to be a murder of three mutilated unidentified soldiers wearing strange red symbolic uniforms. "So brainiac, anything?" Raph asked, leaning over the back of younger brother's seat.
"Not much to go by except they assume it to be gang related but it was said that were wearing black suits with red symbol that can't identify." Don explained, taking the earphones off from his ears after listening through tracking speaker. "Red symbol? That means—" Mikey said, cut off when Leo spoke and confirmed the symbol to belong to one organisation. "The Foot—Shredder."
"At least three at put out of commission." Raph stated coldly
"Yeh that you'd be right but what 'bout their families if they ever had any for that matter." Leo concurred lowly. "Families? Why scum like them have families unless they were exile when they joined shredder's forces?" Raph wondered
"Maybe but can't allow this so-called vigilante slash murdered to run the streets...we gotta stop him before innocent gets hurt." Leo replied, insistently
"So where to start—fearless leader." Raph asked in low tone as his question sound more like a growling hiss than spoken curiously.
Not facing his brother as his terrapin skin crawled then answered. "April's—outside April's shop then work from there."
Don started the engine and drove out of the alleyway, then turned left to return the scene where Casey and April first found that.—girl. Maybe there could be a clue to go by.
...during the crime scene...
"Detective Hartman, we've found this." Lieutenant Matthew Kent stated, holding the suitcase in one hand and the sword in the other while the forensics searched for prints anywhere on the bodies only to hit a dead end or did they?
"Jake." Detective Hartman called. "Anything?"
"Nothing but did find blood that don't belong to the deceased victims."
Hartman took the bag, carrying the swabbed cotton bud that was covered in blood. "Get it to the labs and I expect a result within the next two hours, today not tomorrow...Understood." Detective Hartman orderly. "Understood." The forensics replied, walking past the detective and lieutenant.
"What do you think had happening here?" Lieutenant Kent wondered
"I don't know—I honestly don't know Matt but I tell ya this for sure that I will bring the suvabitch down." Detective Hartman replied, hanging his hands on his waist before turning the heel and walked out of the alley, allowing the paramedics to wheel the mutilated bodies out to the morgue.
...Rooftops...
Brenna hid above the crime scene and listened to the commotion happening below as she thought to try and get the suitcase that she had stolen from Saki, only to see it be taken by the police. Grunting through her teeth and slammed her fist into the wall, making it break as one piece fell when she left. The police officer that stood behind, watching the bodies wheeled out of the alley—heard the broken piece of brick hit the dumpster. Looking up and saw nothing, he didn't assume it to be coincidence. "What's wrong?" Lieutenant Susan Tyler said softly. "I thought I—y'know what never mind, it was nothing." He answered
"C'mon let me get ya a hot brew latte, my treat." She offered. "Thanks partner." Kent answered, looked up the rooftop ledge then followed his partner back to the car.
