Chapter 3...
I woke up. I cracked my eyes open, and all I saw was white. White celing, white walls, and dull lighting. It smelled to clean, that sickening hospital smell. I felt bandages all over my body. I felt my head, it had a bandage on my forhead too. I had a good sized indent on the right side of my forehead, the bullet must have just grazed me. I looked to my left to see a tired Mao sitting next to me.
"You had to go in without any back-up or any idea of what was going to happen. Didn't you Spike?"
"I do what I do best Mao. By the way our little insider is..."
"Dead? I know. Poor kid, they tortured him so that he would squeal, and then killed him anyway."
Mao lowered his head and sighed. I think he might of stayed up waiting for me to wake up. He defintely needed some sleep.
Mao looked up again with a wrinkled forhead, "You were just lucky that our assasin got there in time to get you to the hospital."
"I'll send him a thank you card," I said looking over on a table where a vase of roses sat.
"Her, Spike. Her name is Julia, she should be here any minute now."
I picked up one of the roses from the vase and said, "Who sent these?"
"Anne was worried," Mao said with a smile.
I heard the door crack open, and this blond woman step through the door. She smiled when she saw me awake.
"I see your feeling better," she said, walking towards my bed.
"For you," I said handing her the rose.
She looked kinda shocked, but then she smiled and took the rose.
I got a weird feeling when I saw her smile. A feeling inside that told me everything was alright. A peaceful feeling, a feeling that something out there was alive. I shook it off. It was probably just the drugs.
"So Mao," I asked, "Where is that third guy I was supposed to kill. Charley something or other?"
Mao gave me a cold stare. "It was Charley Renyolds, the top guy in the Black Hawk Syndacate right now since you killed the other two. And do you think that I will actually let you go after him in this condition. I can't believe your still thinking about the mission after you nearly got killed."
"I always finish what I start Mao."
"Forget it Spike," Julia said, leaning over me, "I'm going to finish this mission for you."
"Do you even know where he is?" I asked.
"Yes, he has had a large amount of body gaurds since he heard of your little romp through the Black Hawk's headquarters. He has been easy to to track with that many people."
"So," I asked getting a little annoyed, "Where is he?"
She smiled, and that strange, calming feeling came over me again, "I'm not that gulible Spike, I think I'll keep his location my little secret."
She turned to Mao and said, "I'm off, I have to catch him before he gets out of our sites."
"Good luck," Mao said.
I watched as she walked out the door, her hair flowing with her stride. I looked back to Mao who had that annoying little smile on his face.
"Are you sure she can handle this mission," I said.
"You shouldn't worry about it Spike, she would be the top assasin if it wasn't for you. She may not go into an assignment guns blazing like you, but she is the most accurate sniper I have ever seen. She can get the job done."
"I see," I said with a smirk.
Mao stood up and started to walk away, "Don't try to go after Renyolds, Spike. Stay here."
Mao walked out the door. I felt sorry for him. He actually had hope that I would stay.
I picked up the phone and called Lin.
"Glad to hear your alive, Spike."
"Details, details, I need some help. I need you to track down Charley Reynolds."
"Spike, should I ask why you need this info?"
"Could you do me a favor and not ask?"
"You already owe me 10 favors," he sighed, "Ok, I'll leave it alone."
I heard some typing on a computer. "It seems that he is on his way down highway 75. He is going to get off highway 75 and going on freeway 22. He is then planning to head to the spaceport and take off for Callisto. He'll be in the spaceport in about 2 hours."
"Ok, and by the way, one more thing."
"One more favor I guess?"
"Yes, could you send an ambulance in 1 hour to freeway 22. I'm gonna need it."
