Yes, I took a day off. I needed a break. Here's chapter 9, one more chapter to go!

"That's right Matt." Sora emerged from behind Ken. The two walked down the stairs and Matt backed up.
Ken had the gun pointed at Matt, Sora was behind him, and they stood at the base of the stairs. Matt had retreated to the other side of the basement. Izzy was in about the middle of all of this.
Izzy would have cheered, but he didn't want to break Ken's concentration.
Ken walked over to Matt. "So. . ."
Ken paused and raised the gun to Matt's face again. "Nice weather we are having."
Matt could only stare at the gun. "Uh. . ." was all he managed to say.
Then, the fire in Matt's eyes returned. He looked in deep concentration at the gun, and then at the purple eyes that lay behind it. He swung up his left arm in effort to grab the gun. But Ken was quicker, and grabbed Matt's hand.
"You actually tried that, Ishida?" Ken asked, very proud of his prowess over the killer.
"That's not what I was trying." Matt grabbed Ken's wrist and threw him to the floor. Ken pulled Matt down with him, but Matt wasn't comcerned with that. There was a mad dash for the gun, but Matt grabbed it first.
"Damn." Ken couldn't beleive that he had fallen for that. Matt stood over him, but Ken didn't get up.
"Oh Kenny-boy, that was to easy."
Ken cringed. Matt raised the gun over to Sora. "Goodbye, sweetheart."
Sora just starred as Matt fired. She didn't even speak as she fell to the floor.
Izzy cowered even further in the corner.
"No no Izzy, I want you to see this."
Matt picked up Ken by the back of his neck and raised him to a knelling position. He slammed his foot into Ken's right knee. Ken let out a scream of pain. Matt did this several times more, until he heard the cracking he was hoping for.
"That wasn't so bad, was it Ken?"
Ken could only cry as he tried to keep himself from falling to the floor. Matt had broken Ken's right leg.
Matt released the back of Ken's neck and Ken collapsed to the ground.
Matt backed away from Ken and walked over to Izzy. "Hey Izzy."
Izzy looked up with one eye open. "You are so sick." Izzy spat at Matt.
Matt wiped the fluid from his cheek and starred down at Izzy. "That wasn't to smart, Koushiro."
Matt strolled back over to Ken. Ken had turned himself onto his back and propped himself up with his elbows.
Matt pulled out his knife.

Poor Ken, his plan didn't work. All I bet you all thought Matt was getting his just desert in this one.
A love a good cliffhanger, don't you?
