Chapter Two- "Joyride"

"How the hell did you pull this one off?" Matt whispered. It was an hour later, and they were on a private plane being flown to New York City. Matt was handcuffed and locked in a cage at the back of the plane, while Yolei posed as guard. "Better yet, how did you get those suckers to believe you?"

"I learn from the best, boss." Yolei replied with a smile.

Matt grinned. "I'm so proud. My students are growing up!" He wiped away a fake tear with the edge of his sleeve. "I just have one question, though. Why did those bozos have to come along?" he nodded towards Tai and Sora who were sitting in the front, unaware of what was going on behind them.

"Actually, I have no idea." Yolei shrugged. "It wasn't part of the initial plan. TK brought it up when he intercepted the call."

"Strange. It's very unlike him to change the rules."

"Well, TK's a good leader. I'm sure he's got a good reason for doing this."

"Yeah…" Matt replied with doubt in his voice. He was worried about his younger brother. TK used to be an enthusiastic, charismatic kid up until the last year. Matt wondered if it had anything to do with the loss of their father. The two brothers had run away from home as kids, when Matt was 13, and TK was 10. The reason they ran away was something they couldn't quite remember, but meeting their father again after 11 years, he was killed in a freak car accident that they had a feeling that wasn't so freaky. Matt had taken it pretty hard, but TK had taken it even harder. He wouldn't speak due to shock for about 3 months, and ever since he'd become a rather violent person. Something weird was going on, but Matt didn't know how to help him.

"Please remain seated and secure your seatbelts for a safe landing." A deep voice announced over the plane's intercom. It was the pilot.

"Well, I'd better get going." Yolei stood up to sit by Tai and Sora so they wouldn't be suspicious when she remembered something. "Matt?"

"Huh?"

"Be mean to me. It's not very convincing when you act like a ravenous beast around the cops, but you suck up to the bitch who's supposed to be putting you away for life."

Matt smiled as he realized his mistake of treating the so-called "enemy" with respect. "I hope you rot in hell like the she-devil you are, slut."

"Yeah!" Yolei exclaimed. "Now that's more like it!"

* * *

'Scuse me, we're on official business, coming through, please make way, I SAID MOVE DAMMIT!!!" Tai ignored the incredulous stares coming from various spectators as he paved a way through the crowd at the John F. Kennedy Airport. "Hey, Miss Inoue, where did you say we were going again?"

Yolei sighed in exasperation. "For the seventh time, Captain, we're being picked up by my people at the airport terminal, like normal people. We don't want to draw any extra attention to ourselves now, do we?"

"Oh, that hoodlum could draw attention to himself no matter where he is just because he's so damn ugly!" Tai snorted, referring to Matt. "Dirty little bastard."

"Go screw yourself." Matt retorted. "Oh wait, I'm sorry, you already have!"

"You guys, stop it!" Sora hissed. "Honestly, you're acting like a bunch of children!"

Matt raised his bounded hands in the air, and stuck his middle finger up in response as Sora rolled her eyes. It had been like that ever since they had departed from the plane. Tai and Matt were engaged in an endless squabble, which caused a huge commotion causing the public to take notice in what was happening. Sometimes Sora wondered how Tai ever made it to the position as Captain with his childish behavior. He couldn't be serious about anything! Then again, the one thing he was serious about tore her up inside just thinking about it. It was their status. Why did everything have to be "Captain" this or "Lieutenant" that? Why couldn't it just be plain "Tai" and "Sora" for once?

"We're here."

Sora snapped out of her trance as she glanced around at her surroundings. It seemed as though they were in an empty parking lot, for there was nothing in sight for miles around, other than the airport behind them.

"So where's our ride?" Tai asked. Then as if on cue, a big white stretch limousine pulled up in front of the group. Yolei opened the door.

"Get in." she barked.

Tai pondered at her sudden change in attitude as he climbed into the vehicle. Sora crawled in after him, then Matt, and finally, Yolei.

"Lock the doors Davis." Yolei commanded the driver as she removed the handcuffs from Matt.

"Hey!" Tai exclaimed. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"What does it look like?" Yolei replied in annoyance. "I'm freeing the prisoner!"

"Now, now, Yolei, there's no use in being rude to these gullible fools." Matt said as he rubbed his wrists which were now free from the cuffs.

"Yeah, you're right boss." Yolei said apologetically. "I'm sorry you guys. It's just that it's so hard to be nice to your victims sometimes."

"Victims?!" Sora exclaimed in surprise. "Boss?! What's going on?"

"Oh, not much." Yolei took down her hair and fluffed it up a bit. "We're just kidnapping you."

"What??" Tai yelped. "You traitor! Just wait till your boss hears about this! The CIA will have your head!"

"Captain, you are so naïve. I was never with the CIA."

"You bitch!" Tai exclaimed before Matt raised his fist, laying a hard hit on Tai's stomach, knocking him out.

"God that felt good." Matt muttered. Tai was really getting on his nerves. He turned to Sora. "We really didn't want to do this." He explained. "but you guys knew too much. Don't worry, though, we have no intentions of killing you. Tai may be another story, though."

"Killing us?! What are you talking about? What are you gonna do with us?"

Matt sighed. "I told you, I don't know yet! Now be patient, and shut up!"

"No, I won't shut up!" Sora carefully drew out her gun and pointed it at Matt. "You're forgetting one thing. I'm an experienced cop."

Matt rolled his eyes and snatched the gun from her hands with much ease. "Yeah, just like you're forgetting I'm an experienced thief."

"You bastard!" Sora jumped for the door and tried to push it open, but it wouldn't budge. "Let me out!"

"I'm afraid that isn't an option." Matt reached over and grabbed Sora, pulling her away from the door. "Please don't make this any harder than it already is."

"Too late!" Sora screamed as she bit Matt's hand and made another leap for the door. She raised her elbow in an attempt to break the window when Matt took her gun from the floor and held it up against her head.

"Now back away from the door slowly if you treasure your life." He said. Sora winced. It looked like she didn't have a choice. Slowly, she fell back into her seat in defeat.

"You'll never get away with this." She said, glaring at Matt.

"Sorry, I already have." He turned to Yolei. "Gimme the sleeping weed."

""Um, sorry, that's kinda impossible." Yolei replied. "The sleeping weed's missing."

"Missing?!" Matt sat there for a moment, contemplating on what to do next. Then he turned back to Sora. "I'm sorry babe, but I have to do this." He took his hands and punched her square on the stomach. Then he took his fingers and pressed it against her temples until she passed out.

"I can't believe I had to do that." Matt sighed. Although he had no problem in beating the crap out of Tai, he had a thing against hitting women. Especially the lieutenant. He didn't want to admit it, but he had a thing for her. And Yolei could tell.

"You had to do it, boss." Yolei reminded him. "It's not your fault."

Matt remained silent. He felt like his life was spiraling out of control. The other night, when he and Davis were in the National Bank of Seattle, it was the first time he ever got caught. And then when those guards came around the corner shooting at them. The only way to defend themselves were to shoot back. Matt could still see the look on the guards' faces as he shot them down, one by one. Did they have a wife? Any kids? Up until that night, Matt was a mere thief. Now he was a murderer as well. A murderer and a monster.

He closed his eyes and tried to push the week's events out of his head. He had too many other things to worry about— like what was he gonna do with Tai and Sora. TK had better have a good excuse for this one.

"Davis?" Yolei spoke up all of a sudden. "This isn't the way to the hideout."

Davis didn't answer, but instead kept his eyes on the road, looking straight ahead.

"Maybe he can't hear you." Matt suggested.

Yolei reached over and pulled open the window that separated them from the driver. "Hey Davis, are you listening? You're going the wrong way!"

Davis made no reply.

Matt rolled his eyes. "Davis, don't start screwing with us. I'm not in the mood for this, so if I were you, I'd listen to Yolei."

There was a slight pause before Davis finally answered. "I would do that Yamato, but there's one problem." Hey slowed the limo to a stop and then turned around. "I'm not Davis."

"What the hell?!" Matt reached for the gun again when he suddenly felt the feeling of cold steel being pressed against his neck.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A female voice whispered into his ear.

"What's going on?" Matt demanded.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough." The voice replied. "But in the meantime, you have two choices. You can sit tight and cooperate with us, or you can put up a fight and have the same fate you gave the captain and his lieutenant over there."

"Who the hell are you?" Yolei asked. Matt looked at the young girl who was now trembling. She obviously wasn't used to being on the losing side, but then again, neither was he.

"Oh, me?" the voice laughed. "If I told you, I'd have to kill you. But since I'm gonna do that eventually, I might as well tell you. The name's Mimi Tachikawa. I'm part of the CIA."

"Now, Mimi, don't get carried away." The brown-haired driver said from the front. He also had a gun and was pointing it at Yolei. "She got relieved from duty after commencing a mission that she was taken off of. Our boss saw her talent and recruited her. She now works with us, and believe it or not, we're not corrupt like the government."

"Who exactly is 'us'?" Matt asked. He wanted to press out as much information as possible from the two before he made his move to escape. Mimi had obviously picked up on this because she said, "Don't do it, Izzy. Mr. Ishida just wants to ruin our little mission, now, doesn't he?"

Matt glared at this. That girl was good. But what did she want? "Baby, I'm just a common thief. What would you want with me?"

"We'll get to that later." Mimi said. "But first, we need to get rid of your partner over here." She nodded towards Yolei.

"What do you mean by, 'Get rid of'?" Yolei asked uneasily.

"Didn't I tell you?" Mimi grinned. "I was gonna kill you!"

"You wouldn't dare."

"Try me."

Mimi drew back the knife she was holding Matt captive with and jumped over the seat and onto Yolei. She wrapped her hands around Yolei's neck and slowly began to strangle her. Yolei gasped in surprise, then tried to scream. She couldn't make a sound. She couldn't even breathe.

"GET OFF OF HER!!!" Matt yelled as he jumped forward in attempt to grab Mimi off of his friend, when Izzy intercepted him.

"Let Mimi do her job."

"Like hell I will!" Matt pushed Izzy out of the way and wrapped his hands around Mimi's waste, but was surprised at the girl's strength. He pushed and pulled, but Mimi's hands remained intact with Yolei's neck. Yolei was beginning to grow weary.

"Yolei…" Matt muttered. "Don't give up." He decided to take an alternate approach in making Mimi loosen her grip on Yolei. He pulled her hair.

"OUCH!!!!!!" Mimi screamed as she let go of Yolei and turned to Matt. "That was a $500 perm you just messed up!" she said.

"Really?" Matt said. "My dog looked better than that after she fucked the whole neighborhood dog population when I was two."

Mimi's eyes shot sparks as she moved towards Matt. "Don't. You. Ever. Insult. My. Hair." She jumped for Matt's neck and began strangling him as she had done with Yolei earlier.

"Dammit, Mimi, don't kill him!" Izzy exclaimed. "We need him!!"

"Tell that to the judge!" Mimi replied. Matt choked on his spit as his face flushed from red to purple. How did Yolei survive this? This girl wasn't a girl! She was a monster! He heard the door slam and saw Izzy climb over Sora and Tai's lifeless bodies as he pointed the gun at Mimi.

"Let him go, Mimi."

"No."

"Joe won't be happy with this."

"I don't care."

"You won't get paid."

Mimi glared for a moment before releasing her grip on the blonde. "That's not fair."

Izzy shrugged. "I never said it was."

Matt sputtered for air as the other two continued talking. What could he do now? He could try to take the gun from that Izzy character, but then Mimi would probably start strangling him again. And if he went for Mimi, Izzy looked like he wouldn't hesitate to use the gun on Yolei.

"So what should we do now?" Mimi asked.

"I say we get back to the boss." Izzy replied.

"But he only wanted Ishida, Kamiya and Takenouchi. What should we do with that other girl?"

"What were you gonna do with her earlier?"

Mimi smiled. "I haven't had a good kill in a long time."

"Don't forget, Mimi. We work for good. We don't kill for sport."

"I know, I know." Mimi muttered.

"You better not hurt her." Matt said, regaining his voice. Yolei looked up, but did not say a word.

"We won't." Mimi said in irritation. "Not yet, anyways."

"So what do you want with us?" Matt asked again.

"I said I'd tell you later, didn't I?"

"Yeah, but I want to know now!"

Mimi looked at Izzy, and Izzy shrugged. The three continued to bicker, not noticing another body had awoken.

"Sora…?" Tai looked at his unconscious Lieutenant. She was still breathing. He looked up, noticing Matt also lying down, looking pretty beaten up. Yolei was right beside him, and there were two new characters in the limo, one he recognized as the driver. He noticed the driver pointing a gun at Matt. If only he could get a hold of that gun…

"Izzy, the boss doesn't like when we bring extra people along for the mission! You know he's very protective of our group!"

"I know, Mimi, but what else can we do with the girl?"

"Kill her!"

"You are not killing her." Matt and Izzy said in unison.

"I don't care!" Mimi exclaimed. "Aren't I supposed to be the assassin? You're just a computer hacker!"

"Yes, but you're not allowed to assassin anyone without the boss's consent!"

"Then consent him, already!" Mimi yelled.

Izzy rolled his eyes, and started to lower the gun down as he reached for his cell phone. Tai took this time to attack.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Izzy stumbled back, dropping the gun to the ground. Matt got up as he and Tai dived for it at the same time. Tai felt his hand clasp around the handle of the gun as he pulled it out from under the seat, and Matt grabbed the tip.

"Give me the gun." Matt demanded.

"No, I know how to use it better." Tai retorted.

"This is no time to be stubborn, Tai. Give me the gun!"

"No!!"

Mimi snapped back to her senses and looked at the two men arguing over the gun. She glared and tackled Tai to the ground, who fell on Matt, who was still holding the gun.

"Mimi, be careful." Izzy said uneasily.

"I've got it under control!" she yelled, pulling Tai off of Matt. Tai was resistant, however, he would still not let go of the gun.

"Give me the gun!" he yelled.

"It's my gun!" Matt glared.

"Actually, it's my gun." Izzy tried to cut in.

"SHUT UP!" a chorus of voices yelled. Mimi continued to hang onto Tai as he pulled Matt's hair. Matt latched onto the weapon, neither of them in control of it. Finally, Izzy got fed up and grabbed the gun from the both of them, but to no avail. This continued, when suddenly a shot rang out and the three dropped the gun and looked towards the dreaded scream.

"Oh my God…" Izzy gasped in horror as he looked at the trail of blood that was created. "We killed her."

A/N: And we have our first death. Who is it? Stay tuned for the next chapter! Oh, and if death makes you queasy, I suggest you'd stop reading now, because, there will be A LOT of that. Also, do you guys think I should up the rating to R? Well, R&R!
