Chapter 2: Black Pay Off
Roger was standing at the docks looking at a dead worker that worked here at the docks. Roger looked over to his left and then looked out the water. He was missing Riggs more then ever. He missed hearing Riggs's wild ideas of how the man died. He smiled to himself as he thought of one idea that Riggs's had came up one time. He said that one guy dead of from talking to much. He was kinda right. The man did die cause he knew to much and he told what he knew. Roger was brought out of thoughts when Bailey walked over to him.
"Hey you okay?" She asked him.
"Yeah, what is the guys name?" He asked her.
"His name is Mark Smith. He was working for Mason Black." Roger nodded his head and then looked down at the man that had his throat cut. Roger walked over to Black. Black was standing there by his car looking at his phone. Roger walked up to Black and cleared his throat. Black looked up at Roger and sighed and put his phone away.
"Yes." He said. Roger could tell that Black didn't want to be here.
"Did you know this man?" He asked the man.
"No not really. When will all of you be done?" He asked him.
"A man is dead and you want to know how long we will be?"
"I didn't ask you that for you to say it back to me. But if you are going to do that then, I will use small words." Roger looked at him with an pissed off look.
"Look more time all of you are here means I not going to be able to make money." He told Roger. Roger frowned and than started to talk to Black a little more. After Roger was done he walked back over to his car. He got in and drove to LAPD.
-Later that night-
Black was at his desk that was in the warehouse. He was looking at his phone. He had gotten a text telling him that she was asking people about him and was about to nail his ass. He had two guards standing beside his desk.
"We have to find a way to stop Trish Murtaugh from looking into things that she should not be looking into." Black told his guards.
"If she gets close then we will have to find away to stop her." Black told them. Both men nodded their heads. One of the men moved his hand up and called over the radio.
"Jones?" He waited for answer, but never got one. Black looked at him.
"What is it?" He asked him.
"I'm sure that it's nothing." Just then an arrow hit the man in the chest killing him. Black stood up and looked over. There standing in the light was The Vigilante. The Vigilante was in his black suit with blue trim. Black saw as his other body guard went shoot the man, but The Vigilante let go of the string of the bow and another arrow hit the guard in the chest. Black looked back at The Vigilante and then took off running. The Vigilante ran after the man. Black ran over to the his car, but then looked at the tires and saw that there was an arrow in each of his tires. He moved around and saw that there were two more in the other tires. He looked up and saw The Vigilante standing there with his bow ready to shot him. Black took off running and Al sah-him ran after him. Al sah-him stopped and shot an arrow hitting Black in the sleeve and trapped him against a building. Black looked at his sleeve and moved to pull out the arrow but then another arrow hit his other sleeve. Black was not pinned against this building. He looked in front of him and saw The Vigilante standing in front of him with his bow drawn back.
"Wait don't!" Black yelled out.
"Why did you have you have the worker killed!?" Al sah-him yelled out. Black looked at him.
"TELL ME!" Al sah-him yelled at the man.
"He find out that I was helping the Cartel bring in drugs through my docks." Black told him. Walking toward Black with his bow still drawn.
"You will tell LAPD that you had that man killed and that the drugs are coming through your docks." Al sah-him let go of the string and the arrow cut Blacks cheek. Black had closed his eyes as the arrow came toward him. He opened his eyes and then looked at where The Vigilante had been standing.
-Next Day-
Roger was standing in front of Black's desk. He looked at the man who had a cut on the side of his cheek. Roger looked at him.
"Okay you called us last night and now you say that you don't need us now." Black nodded his head and then said.
"No I don't you need you here." Black got up from his chair and walked beside his desk.
"You know you should really talk to your wife." Roger looked at him.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked him.
"Your wife needs to stop looking into me." He told him. Roger looked at him again.
"Are you threatening my wife?" Roger asked him.
"No, see I just don't want something to happen to her." He told him. "I'm worried about her." He said in a non worried voice. It was more in a threatening voice. Roger took that to heart.
-Later-
Roger walked into Trish's office. Trish looked up from her desk and smiled at her husband.
"Baby what are you doing here?" She asked him.
"You need to stop looking into Mason Black." He told her. She looked at him with an odd look.
"Black just told me that if you don't stop looking into him, then he was going to have you killed." He told her. Trish looked at him with a worried look. She then shook the worry looked off her face.
"I have to stop him cause he is paying off lawyers, judies and cops." She told him. Roger looked at her.
"What Cops?" He asked her.
"I don't know yet, but I am getting close too it." She told him.
"I still think that you should wait until I have him behind bars." Trish looked at him and she moved and sat back down at her desk. Roger sighted and then walked out of her office. She looked up and the worry came back to her face.
-Later that night-
Trish walked into the house and sat her things down her things on the kitchen island. She looked around the two rooms. She knew that Roger was at the office for another hour or so. Riana was at her friends house again. They were doing their homework that was due in by Monday. She went upstairs and changed clothes. She walked down the stairs and walked back into the kitchen. After she ate, she was putting her dish in the sink. She turned and saw a man standing in the kitchen. Her eyes got wide and she went to scream but a hand covered her mouth. She looked behind her and saw another man. Both men had masks on. She looked back and saw the first man holding a gun. Trish's eyes got even wider. She tried to pull away but couldn't.
Just then an arrow hit the gun and knocked it out of the man's hand. They all looked over and saw The Vigilante standing there with his bow. The man behind Trish let go of her and went to run. The Vigilante pulled back his bow and let go of the string and let the arrow fly through the air and hit the man that was behind Trish. Trish ran over to The Vigilante and ran behind him. The Vigilante moved and grabbed another arrow and let go of the string and shot the other man in the chest. The man fell to the ground dead. Trish was shocked when The Vigilante turned and made sure that she was okay.
"Who are you?" She asked him.
"Al sah-him." He told her.
"No that's not your name." She said to him. Trish watch as he moved back away from her some. He had a look of shocked face on his face. How could she have know that. Then he remembered that he didn't have his voice changer on. Trish looked at him with wide eyes. He knew that she knew who he was. She looked at him as he backed up even more. He moved and ran out. Trish looked at the dead men and then moved and grabbed her phone. She called Roger.
-With Roger-
Roger hung up the phone and ran to his car. He raced to the house and saw a very upset Trish standing at the door. He ran over and walked in. He saw the dead men on the floor.
-Later that night around midnight-
Roger walked down the to the kitchen and looked at he floor. He was going to have to replaced floor. There was blood stains on the floor.
"Sorry about the floor." He heard a voice beside him. Roger turned and looked in the living room and saw The Vigilante.
"What are you doing here and how did you get in my home?" He asked him.
"Really that's what you ask? Not how did I know how your wife was in danger?" He asked him in a light voice. But of course he had his voice changer on. Roger looked at him.
"How did you know that?" He asked him finally.
"I have one of my team mates follow her, and other follow you. As well as two more to follow your son and daughter." He told him.
"What!" Roger almost yelled out. Al sah-him moved closer to him.
"Don't worry, they are not going to hurt any of you. I just asked them to follow y'all and to make sure that y'all are safe." He told him. Roger looked at him.
"Well thank you for saving my wife." He thanked him. Roger watch the man hand him something.
"Here if you need me and no you cannot trace the phone." He said as he handed the phone to Roger. Roger took the phone and looked at it. He walked back to the kitchen and sat the phone on the kitchen island. He turned around and saw that The Vigilante was gone.
-Next night at midnight-
Black was now packing up his things in his office. He looked up and saw a woman walking toward him. She was had bright red hair and was dressed in black. She stopped at his desk. He looked at her with an unwelcoming face.
"What do you want?" He asked her.
"My boss wants to know if you told The Vigilante anything about our arrangement?" She asked him.
"No I didn't." He told her.
"Oh but he did!" They both looked behind the women know as Flame.
"You!" She said in an unwelcoming voice. Al sah-him looked at her.
"Now, now I thought that you would be happy to see me." He said and held up his bow. Flame move and got out her bow staffs. She started to run toward him. Al sah-him let go of the string and arrow flow through the air towards Flame. She moved her bow staff and knocked the arrow to the ground. She was still running towards him. Black watched as the two started to fight. He moved and got his bag and ran out of the building.
In the corner of his eye, Al sah-him saw the man run off. Al sah-him moved and hit Flame in the head and she fell to the ground out cold. Al sah-him then ran after Black. He ran out and saw that the man running toward another building. He ran after him and found the man standing there with a gun about to shoot him. Al sah-him moved and throw a dart at the gun. The dart hit the end of the gun. Blocking the bullet from coming out. Black throw the gun down and was about to run but Al sah-him grabbed another arrow and released it. The arrow that he grabbed was a rope tying arrow. It shot out and tied Blacks legs. Black fell to the ground hard. Al sah-him heard a noise behind him and turned. He had an arrow ready to let got but it and his bow was slapped away from him. He looked down at his bow and then looked up. Flame moved and wrapped her whip around herself. She moved and got out her bow staffs and run toward him again. Al sah-him moved and got his own bow staffs that were on his belt.
They began to fight each other. They were both equal matched in the fight. They both moved as if they were doing a dance. Flame moved out her arm and hit a button on the staff. A knife came out and she moved and did the same to the other. She moved her arms and went to stab him. But Al sah-him moved backwards. He throw up his left arm and moved her bow staff out, then he moved around and hit her in the back with his right bow staff. They moved out and were about to go another round when they heard police sirens getting closer to them. Flame moved and stabbed Al sah-him in the chest and then ran off. He moved and grabbed his where he had been stabbed. Then forgetting about the pain he put his bow staffs away. As he ran over and got to his bow. As soon as he grabbed it he heard a click. He looked up and saw Roger holding a gun at his head. Roger looked at him and then at Black. Roger moved and put his gun away and said.
"I am only letting you go because you saved my wife's life." Al sah-him smiled and then got his bow and ran off. Roger watched him run off into the night.
-Later that night-
Cahill walked into her house and saw Al sah-him standing in her kitchen. She looked at him with a smile. Then she looked over at him and then down at his chest. She saw the blood and moved to see if he was okay or not.
"What happened?" She asked him. He looked down and moved his hand up to his chest and touched it. He looked at the blood, and then looked back at her. He smiled at her and then said.
"Just part of the job. But I am okay though" He told her. This made her smile.
"Why do you come here almost every night?" She asked him.
"Cause I love seeing your face." He told her. She watched as he moved walked over to her and leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled again and then turned around to say something to him, but he was gone. Cahill turned back around and saw on the kitchen island was some more flowers. She walked over and picked them up. After she had put them in a vase, she put them with that other ones. Cahill moved back and looked at them. There was eight all together.
