Chapter twenty:
Kyouya, Haruh, Hikaru, Razzy, and Lorine stand outside of the hotel room that had been given to them by the lady at the front desk. They had no trouble getting the money the she had requested into her account for this information.
Razzy turns to look to the three that have joined him and Lorine on this. "Remember our little discussion." He tells them as they turn to look to him as he makes sure that his voice won't be heard inside of the room. "You get your information and then she is ours."
"We haven't forgotten." Kyouya assures him adjusting his glasses though the glare still bounces off of his lenses keeping his eyes hidden. "We will keep up our end of the deal." He turns to look to the door and pulls out the key given to them to get inside.
The others turn back to the door as well and stay back to let Kyouya unlock it which he does only to quickly open the door.
Razzy and Lorine are the first inside followed by the three others; With Kyouya closing the door behind them to try to not alert anyone who might walk by.
Inside the woman that they are looking for jumps to her feet from the couch where she had been watching some TV. She opens her mouth clearly about to scream until Razzy and Lorine pull their guns aiming them at her.
"Scream and we'll take out one of your legs or arms. You can see we have silencers on these. No one will know any gunshots happened." Razzy warns knowing that they can't kill her just yet due to the agreement.
Quickly realizing that she is outnumbered and outmatched she closes her mouth choosing to instead glare at them.
Razzy nods to Kyouya to indicate that they can go ahead though it is Hikaru who moves forward.
The woman's eyes widen as she spots Hikaru realizing who he is only for her shock to turn to a smirking contempt. "I see." She mentions and slowly descends into laughter. "He's gone and there is nothing you can do about it." She manages to stop her laughter with a big inhale of breath. "Now you'll be all alone forever. Feel that pain for the rest of your miserable life."
"What are you talking about? Where is my brother?" Hikaru demands only to see a confused blink come from the woman. "He is missing and it is clear that you are involved. Probably even responsible. So where did you kidnap him to?"
"I didn't kidnap him." The woman looks a little bored at her fingernails as if checking their condition with half open eyes. "I only paid half of the money to a hitman to kill him." She glances up from her fingers to smirk widely at Hikaru. "He is dead. You just haven't found his body yet."
Hikaru's face goes pale then his eyes narrow in rage. He lunges at the woman though Haruhi and Kyouya manage to hold him back. "You bitch!" He snarls clearly having lost it.
Haruhi slaps a hand over his mouth which ends up just being enough to give him some of his mind back. She can tell that he is ready to lunge for her again though has at least remembers that they need to be quieter than yelling.
"You said half of the money." Kyouya points out making everyone pause. "What about the second half of the money? Are you going to pay it when you get the notification that he is dead?"
The woman chuckles softly before responding to that inquiry from the black haired man. "Actually there wasn't just me who wanted him to be dead. I just happened to overhear another man who was getting a hit put on him. I merely decided to put in some money to have it happen."
Haruhi and Hikaru freeze looking wide eyed in surprise at hearing this.
"Who was this man?" Kyouya speaks for them as the two don't seem to be able to register enough to form words. "Who else in the world wanted a hit on Kaoru and why?"
The woman shrugs her shoulders looking uncaring. "I have no idea. I've never seen him before in my life. I just jumped on the wagon to get some revenge for what you pulled on me. Caused me more trouble than I wanted back then. Now I just hate those who are born into riches. They are nothing but spoiled brats."
Hikaru hangs his head letting tears stream down his face as he imagines his brother laying dead somewhere in some ditch.
"It isn't me you should be chasing. All I did was give a helping hand in the payment." The woman tells them then looks to Kyouya who steps forward.
"Do you remember the man enough to give a description of him?" Kyouya questions with a calm yet icy voice as though holding as much anger back as he can. Though the iciness in his tone gives that away.
The woman gives the description of the man and Kyouya writes it down in his phone.
"Thank you for your time." Kyouya turns to look to Razzy and Lorine. "As agreed she is all yours now."
"Wait." Hikaru's head shoots up at hearing this. "How do we know she is telling the truth about this other person?"
"Trust me. I am better at reading people like this than you may think." Kyouya tells Hikaru then he helps Haruhi get the older twin out of the room.
"Wait!" The woman calls making the trio pause at the door. She looks to Razzy and Lorine then back to the trio seeing the two have not lowered their weapons. "Tell the thugs you hired to leave too. I gave you the information you wanted!"
"Oh." Kyouya looks at her with a smirk on his lips. "I suppose you don't understand. We didn't hire them." He sees her eyes slightly widen upon hearing this come from him. "We only joined them because they were looking for you anyways. So as agreed you gave us the information we wanted, thus it is their turn to get what they came here for. Whatever that may be. We don't actually care to be frank with you."
Haruhi keeps her mouth shut as she knows that this isn't fully right though she isn't about to argue with two people with loaded weapons.
With that the trio leave and head on out of the hotel.
Razzy smirks as the woman makes eye contact with him. "It is now just you and us two." He informs her then chuckles. "Thank you for sending them on a wild goose chase."
The woman slightly narrows her eyes at hearing this. "What are you talking about?" She demands as if unable to believe her ears that she had heard that.
"You see they have no idea. But we actually knew about the hit. That is why we were coming to find you." Razzy waves his gun telling her silently to keep quiet when she opens her mouth so she closes it again. "We have already taken care of the man that first ordered the hit. As well as the hitman."
"How?" The woman manages to breathe out in disbelief so Razzy decides to let it slide.
"Kaoru is a secretly part of my group. A group I look to as my family. We have him healing in a safehouse with our trusted medic." Razzy watches as the woman's jaw metaphorically drops to the floor at hearing this. "We got hold of the hitman who told us all about what happened to make the hit happen. Now both of those who are involved in with this are already dead. You're the last one left alive." He clicks his gun to be ready and is about to pull the trigger when the woman speaks causing him to pause.
"Why didn't they know? Why haven't you told them the truth?"
"I am not going to go against the wishes of one of my family members. He didn't want his brother or other friends to know that he is a part of my group. So I will respect those wishes." Razzy tells her matter of fact, as if he is telling her a fact that she clearly missed.
Then a quieted gunshot is heard from the gun Razzy holds and the woman falls to the floor bleeding from her head.
