-------Meet the Parents: Chapter 3------
Claire and Shadow stared at each other, wondering who would make the first move. After what seemed like forever, Roy suddenly jumped up, brandishing another handgun.
"Had ta finish muh meal" He said in a deep southern voice. "Now drop tha emrald boy, or your little pea-shaped brain is gonna be splattered on tha wall"
Shadow had to act fast, he knew that at any second either one of them could fire, and he wouldn't be around too long. Vendanta was moving slowly toward a table nearby, reaching for the drawer. She slowly opened it and drew an emerald of her own. Since Shadow had tought her how to focus the emeralds power, she had no need for a gun. Claire swung around, aiming the gun at her daughter.
"Drop it, bitch" she said coldly. Vendanta complied, putting her hands up as the emerald clattered to the ground. Shadow looked at her, nodding slowly. She nodded back.
"chaos...." he whispered as softly as possible, hoping Roy didn't know what he was planning. He gathered all his energy and energy from the emerald. "CONTROL" he shouted.
In a flash, he had KO'd Roy, who was now laying on the floor. He snatched up his rifle and appeared on the other side of the room, aiming the rifle at Claire's head.
"Checkmate." He said calmly "You lose."
"Not quite" she replied "I still have your little queen cornered, and she's about to DIE!"
She pulled the trigger on her gun as Shadow pulled the trigger on his. The two bullets collided in mid-air, causing one to hit a metal plate on the wall and go through Claire's head while the other plowed through Vendanta's shoulder. She fell over onto the floor with a thud.
Claire's body fell to the ground into a lifeless heap. Shadow rushed over to Vendanta and picked her up gently. She screamed in agony as her shoulder muscles tore. A bloody spot was on the wall where the bullet had ended up.
"Flame!" Shadow yelled "get out here quick! Vennie's hurt!"
Flame rushed out from the steel doors and over to the couple. Shadow reached into his pocket and handed Flame a large ring of keys.
"Go get the car. And for God's sakes don't get the GT!"
"Geez, I wouldn't think of it......" he replied. He rushed out to the garage where he saw an entire row of cars, ranging from the GT to a brand new Expedition.
"Choices choices" he said to himself. He looked at the ring and chose the key for the black Expedition, thinking there would be room to lay her out in. He got in and started it, plowing through the garage door with ease. He backed it up to the front door and beeped the horn.
Shadow threw Vendanta over his shoulder, rushing out the front door to the Expedition. He opened the rear gate and clambered in. He layed Vendanta on her back in the cargo area as her blood soaked the thin layer of carpet.
"Sh-shadow...." she whispered "I love you...."
"I love you too Vendanta."
She passed out from the pain, closing her eyes as her body went limp.
"Damnit Flame! FLOOR IT!"
Flame complied, forcing the gas pedal all the way to the floor. The V-10 engine responded by roaring loudly as Shadow was thrown against the back glass from the force of the accelaration. The glass cracked as Shadow's head thumped on it. He shook it off and crawled next to his wife.
Meanwhile, Roy was coming to in the house. He got up and went to his car. He sniffed the air, sensing the direction the had left. He got in his car and chased after them as full speed.
A few miles down the road, Roy has caught up to them and slammed into their back bumper. Since his car was smaller and faster, he passed them with ease. He roared alongside the Expedition and slammed into the side.
"What the hell does he think he's doing?" Flame yelled. He abruptly slammed the old man back, causing Roy to swerve.
The two battled back and forth for a few miles until a semi roared down the two lane road, heading straight for Roy's car. The semi blasted its massive horn as it plowed through Roy's car with ease, spraying twisted metal and parts all over the highway.
A few minutes later, the three arrived at the hospital. Shadow picked up Vendanta and carried her inside. Flame left to park the SUV. Shadow set her listless body in a wheelchair and rolled her to the receptionist.
"Can you get her some help? Please?" he asked the receptionist. She pressed a button on the table, and two doctors ran out from behind two swinging doors. The took her wheelchair and rolled it into the back room.
"Do you have insurance?" The receptionist asked Shadow.
"Uh.....uh...." he searched his pockets frantically. He finally pulled out a small card and handed it to the receptionist. She scanned it into the computer. She handed it back and pointed him to an empty waiting room. He walked over to it and sat down, hanging his head sadly.
Flame walked into the waiting room and sat beside Shadow. The two remained quiet for the duration.
-------A FEW HOURS LATER-------
Shadow awoke to the feeling of a gentle kiss on his lips. He opened his eyes to see Vendanta standing before him, wearing a sling. He grinned as he stood up to hug her.
"Careful dear, it still hurts" she told him. He nodded and hugged her gently. Shadow woke Flame up and the three left for home. They passed by the mangled remains of Roy's car. They stopped and Shadow climbed out to investigate. He looked into where Roy's body should have been laying.
"No....I- I can't believe it." he said quietly, not finding a body. He slowly walked back to the SUV and climbed in.
"Well?" Flame asked
"He's dead as a doornail." he lied. Only Shadow would know that Roy wasn't dead. He didn't want to worry Vendanta. He hugged his wife and leaned up to her ear.
"We're safe now" He whispered
"Yes. We are safe." she replied.
