He was able to escape and make it out of that hell hole alive and it was all thanks to Vermouth.
But he did not know how many members made it out alive. All he remembers was that he was being escorted to his cell and he saw a familiar shadow that made him smile and gave him the will and power to fight back. He took out three guards, bashing their heads into the ground and wall, they had it coming and now they barely had a head on their shoulders. He smiled remembering them pleading and begging, that never got old.
But the last thing he remembered was the metal pipe that hit him on the back of the head and the taste of blood. He was out cold for how long he did not know but when he woke up he was back in his black clothing and his favourite hat that he missed. He woke up to find Vermouth telling him that his brother was in danger and needed his protection and he was willing to do anything, even die for him and he made his way to him. He did not stop to take a breath or break, he knew his brother and he knew how to find him better than anyone in the world and he could say the same.
He was grateful to her but he could not help but be creeped out.
" Aniki? " said Vodka.
" I thought you were someone else " said Gin sounding disappointed.
" Vodka your alive and you made it out " laughed Gin.
" Vermouth she..." said Vodka.
" Ah her ...she is always getting in the way " said Gin.
Gin lit up his cigarette smiling and leaned against the wall.
He was smoking and enjoying every breath, even if the smoke was making his own brother choke he did not care. Tonight, he was going to be able to kill the three of them.
His lungs filled with smoke and he was letting it all out.
'Vodka' he said in his head terrified and shocked.
Vodka was out and he was now roaming in the streets and he was currently heading in the same direction that he was heading in and that was to Gin.
He was not sure if this was a trap or not but his instinct was saying it was not and his head was telling him to follow Vodka and he did.
He was currently staring at Gin and Vodka from a distance far away that he knew that Gin would not be able to sense him or estimate that he was there. He was shocked that they were in the open for the world to see, disposed and shown to be able to see and kill.
And that is when it clicked.
Gin was never this reckless the guy was paranoid and a perfectionist these made him almost impossible to find and capture at all times. And he was never this stupid but Vodka was and this stupidity was now affecting Gin. They were now able to make their move and capture Gin all because of Vodka, he was the bait and that was exactly what Vermouth was counting on and she planned this the moment they both escaped.
But what was she up to?
He did not know but all he could do right now was wait and find the right moment and strike, he was taking them both down and it would be tonight. Or he would die trying.
" Aniki ...I know what the problem is or should I say who it is..." said Vodka.
BANG
" You are the problem " said Gin.
" Aniki why? " said Vodka.
He was bleeding and he was bleeding fast.
He was shot in the lung and he was in pain.
He could barely breathe.
And what was worse as he dropped to the ground he could see that evil look in his own brother's eye. The one that terrified him, it was the look he gave to his prey, the look that he when he was in the midst of killing someone and that someone was himself. He was going to die here tonight in a pool of his own blood and it would be at the hands of his own brother, his own flesh and blood, he was betrayed but he could still not help but love his brother.
He was smoking as he leaned against the wall just relaxing listening to what is brother had to say and he decided that it did not matter anymore, he was done and he was finished with him once and for all. He had to go and he had to go now.
He took a puff and inhaled and blew the smoke into Vodka`s face, it would be a great distraction and the bastard deserved everything he got. His life was in shambles all because he had a brother and he was obliged to help protect him and care for him but it was just not worth it many more.
And using his left hand he took out the gun that was in his jacket, he cloaked it with his coat and he just aimed and shot to kill.
BANG
He fired the gun and he shot his own brother in cold blood and it was thrilling, it was daring and it was the best feeling that he had ever felt as he watched his brother fall to the ground and slowly die in pain. He could not help but just smile and light up another cigarette and watch his brother die, he was enjoying every single second.
He feels to the floor in pain and he was trying to breathe the bullet had gone straight through to the lung. This was just amazing as he blew the smoke onto his dying brother.
" Aniki why ? " said Vodka.
" You are the problem " said Vodka.
He took another puff of smoke and smiled squatting down beside Vodka as he was eye to eye with him in a pool of blood.
He dipped his finger in the blood and licked it.
He was dying and there was no one to save him, he knew that and he did not care anymore, he just did not.
With his last breath, he would make sure that he had the final everlasting word, he would not be forgotten.
" You are doomed and you are the one to blame for the down fall of the Organisation " said Vodka.
" What " said Gin shocked dropping his on cigarette.
He could now feel the tight grip that his own brother had on him and he was winning even in death he was going to take that smile off his face.
" Aniki you made a fatal error Aniki and you will find out soon, I can promise you that you will never forget this and everything that happening now is all your fault not mine and not Snake by the way. YOU are to blame and if you just let me pull the trigger then ..." said Vodka.
He was bleeding from the mouth from every word he said he coughed up more blood and it was more painful than the last. It was like he was drowning in his own blood that he was choking on...he was about to die and he knew it. For every word, he said it brought him closer to death but it was worth it.
" What? " said Gin sounding almost interested.
He just smiled wickedly at his brother.
" Aniki I will see you in hell " said Vodka.
He was about to die and he knew it as he stared at the barrel of the gun he was not afraid and he was never afraid of dying, it just not in him. He knew where he was going and he did not care because in fire and brimstones he might even enjoy it and he would see other people that he knew there again. So, it was one-way trip to hell and he was going to enjoy every moment of it and when his brother joined him and the look on his face it would be worth every second.
" Aniki " said Vodka.
Knowing that this would be his final word and his farewell he looked straight into his brother`s eyes he was scared of him anymore and he was going to show it as they stared at each other none of them letting their eye slip away. The eyes were locked and drawn.
BANG
Gin shot him in the head he was getting fed up with everything that he was saying and he was bored he had a meeting to attend to and it was almost time.
He took one more look at the body, stepping in the blood accidentally.
He took out a bottle from his coat and poured it over the body and then he dropped his cigarette.
As he watched his brothers body burn he was wondering if he really had something important to say. But shrugging he did not care whatever it was he was able to handle it and the only weakness in his life, the thing that was holding him back was now dead. And he was now feeling stronger than ever there was nothing and no one that could hold him back.
Except for one.
Vermouth
And he was going to take her out the next time he saw her and he did not care what ' That Person' had to say. He was getting fed up with following his guidance and rules he was going to take charge of his own life and soon, he just had to take care of the few problems that was in his life and he was going to do it tonight.
" Come out I know that you are there Snake " said Gin.
He shot and fired.
BANG
The figure that he could see was Snake was still standing but was slipping and falling, he was starting to struggle. So, he shot again.
BANG
" I know that bastard would betray me and ..." said 'Snake'.
He shot again this time aiming for the head, the heart and the eye.
BANG
BANG
BANG
He saw the hat fall but the figure was still standing.
" You bastard why won't you die? " said Gin furious.
"...? " said Snake.
He made his way forward stepping closer to the traitor as far as he could see the closer he got the more suspicious he got off the figure that he could not take his eyes off or he could not stop moving forward, you could say curiosity got the better of him.
He picked up the hat and stared at it.
" That smell " he said to himself.
There was no longer the smell of flames of burning.
The flames had stopped, his body, his brother`s body had stopped burning.
And someone had put it out.
He looked at the figure that he thought was Snake at first. And walked closer with every glance and every step he got closer he could see that it was not Snake and that he was tricked. He was tricked and by a dummy, he was tricked and he was now fuming that he could fall for such a simple trick.
He then noticed a piece of metal that was on the collar of the dummy and he picked it up. Looking closely, he could see what it was and it was a speaker. He realized that Snake could still be alive and this was a micro speaker that he was holding in his hand and he crushed it with all his anger.
" I am dead to you or should I say that Snake is dead " said someone in Snake`s voice.
He turned around to see a young man beside his brother`s body with a fire extinguisher in his hand putting the flames out and a what appeared to be a bowtie that he was using to mimic Snake`s voice. He could not see the strangers face as he was bowing his head putting out the flames and his face was covered by his hair.
But he could not shudder the feeling that he knew this young man and that they had met before. And that it was not the best of meetings for this person anyway.
" Who in hell are you? " said Gin.
And he saw a familiar smirk appear on the boy`s face and he knew that he knew that signature smile.
But he could just not remember.
He was never good at remember faces or names of people especially of those he killed...No he couldn't be?
'Aniki you made a fatal error'
He was remembering what his brother was trying to tell him but he would not listen.
He could not remember the rest.
But from all he could pick up and conclude.
This boy, this young man was on his list.
The list of people that he killed or so he thought that he killed him, now that he was standing in front of him he could see that he was not dead like he thought.
But all he could think was ...
What the hell is his name?
