Chapter 4...
I got out of my bed and put on my coat. It had been washed, but they hadn't mended the bullet holes yet. Since my left arm was still in a sling, I couldn't put my arms through both holes. I snuck out of my room only to be stopped by a doctor.
"Mr. Spiegel, I was given orders to make sure that you stayed within your room, and I'm goinng tooooo caaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll........."
He then collapsed to the floor. I guess he didn't notice the syringe I borrowed from his pocket, and injected him with whatever is inside. I just hoped it wasn't deadly.
I got a few other doctors and nurses as I walked out of the hospital. I walked down to the parking garage, looking for the best car to hotwire. I ended up finding Julia, leaning up against her car. When she saw me, she shook her head.
"You are insane, aren't you?"
"Its possible, now are you going to stop me?"
"No, I can understand what it feels like to make sure that a job gets down. Hop in, I'll help you finish this mission."
I smiled, I was glad she wasn't trying to stop me. I wasn't exactly in the best condition to fight her. I threw my body into her convertible, I think she was giggling as I tried to get my bandaged body into the car. She handed me a gun that I stuffed in my jacket, and we took off.
"So," I said when we had reached the highway with our hair getting blown back by the wind, "what was up with that, 'I understand what it means to get a job done,' line."
Whatever reminance of smile she had on our face disapeared at that moment.
"When I first entered the syndacate, I was teamed up with a veteran. Celeste Williams. She showed me the ropes and all the details of the Syndacate. She watched my back, and I watched hers. On one of our missions, she was supposed to go in a meeting with a rival syndacate, while I provided cover with a sniper rifle. From my perch looking into the window, I could tell that the meeting was going sour. I noticed that the boss, Mark Snider at the meeting was slowly moving his hand towards a button at the bottom of the table. I fired, but I was too late. Her side of the room exploded, and Snider disapeared in the smoke. It took me a year to track him down, but I finished the job. All for Celeste."
I looked at her as she stared coldly at the road ahead of her. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say sorry, or convince her that we would get this guy.
A ringing sound broke the silence. Julia picked up her cell phone, "Yes...Yes, Mao. I am on my way to cut off Charley Renyolds right now.... What?... Spike got out?... Don't worry Mao, I'll make sure that Spike won't get himself killed."
She looked to me after turning off the floor. I just stared back as we kept on driving (although no one was watching the road).
I looked down the road to see three huge armored vans rolling down the highway. They were side by side.
"That must be him," I said turning back to Julia.
I grabbed my sling and tore it off. I grabbed the gun from my jacket, and Julia grabbed a gun from the glove compartment. At the same time, we leaned outside the car and took one shot at the outside vans. We both hit their back tires and watched as they skidded wildly down the road crashing into the ditches on the side of the highway. We were leaning out to take out the center van, when its back doors swung open to reveal a machine gun toting henchmen. He opened fire on us. Julia swung the car back and forth, trying to avoid whatever bullets she could. The windsheild shattered in front of us. Julia drew her gun in an attempt to stop the firing. However, she got hit in the shoulder with a bullet. She grabbed her arm, and the car started to swerve. I grabbed the steering wheel, and fired at the van. I hit their back tire, and they spun out. I steered our car to a stop.
"Julia," I yelled (even though she was a couple of inches from me.) "Are you alright!?!"
"I'm fine Spike, it just a small hit. I'll back you up from here. Get Reynolds."
I understood, I hoped out of the car guns drawn. Reynolds' henchmen started piling out of the car. I took them down in typical fashion, with a few hits coming from Julia. I then saw Reynolds coming out of the van. I fired, but he saw me, and grabbed a henchman's body for a human sheild. I then saw him scurry back into the van. I ran towards the van firing when he reapeared with a grenade in hand. He threw it on the ground and smiled as it bounced towards me. I ran back to the car firing at the grenade.
It exploded.
I was blown across the ground, rolling to a stop. I got up, and ran over to Julia's car. I didn't care about the cuts and gashes all over my body, I cared about Julia. She was slumped down in the drivers seat with a gash across her forehead.
I grabbed her by the shoulders yelling, "Wake up, WAKE UP!"
I heard laughter behind me, I looked back to see Reynolds, pointing a gun at me, laughing his head off. I drew my gun and pointed it at him.
"Are you afraid to die?" he asked with a smirk.
"Never have been," I replied, and we both fired. I watched as the bullet slowly came towards me. I watched as my life flashed before my eyes. It was a rerun. So I smiled, and didn't move an inch. But then, something was different. I saw golden hair, glowing with life. A smile that made the world seem non-existant. Julia... there was something to live for. Julia!
I tried to dodge the bullet by moving to my left, but I couldn't avoid it. I got shoot, and fell to the ground in a bloody heap.
