Driving to Van Halla was a little faster than driving from The Waterhole
tavern to Glass Glades. In fact, it took Caine half of the time to get to
Van Halla. When he actually got there, he saw that the town was rundown,
except for the mansion Cornelious was talking about. The governor's mansion
was huge! But at the look of things in the town, it seemed like Cornelious
was a corrupt tyrant. Caine was no better.
(Caine)(Thinking) Man this place stinks. Can't think about that right now- I have to meet Cornelious.
Caine stopped cruising through the town on his bike and parked it right in front of the mansion. He walked up the ramp-like stairs to the door, and knocked on it. It opened by itself. Caine walked in to find a huge circular room with a spiraling staircase lining half of the wall. As he walked to the middle of the room, Cornelious- who was at the top of the staircase- showed up.
(Cornelious) Ah, Caine! Greetings, and welcome to my humble abode. Did you fulfill your part of the bargain?
Caine nods his head.
(Cornelious) Excellent! Music to my ears.
(Caine)(Thinking) Well, it looks like my fat friend here no longer has a fear of me- he's acting a lot more confident. Maybe he's just not showing it. I wonder what could cause that.
(Cornelious) My friend, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is, I'm not going to pay you.
(Caine)(Thinking) WHAT!
Caine balls his hands into fists.
(Cornelious) The good news is, well, there is no good news.. Ok boys, get him!
(Caine)(Thinking) That rat-bastard. I'll get him.
Out of the shadows, 5 ninjas- all in black -spring out, weapons drawn. One has a chain, the second- a sword, another has tons and tons of shoryukens, the 4th ninja has a spear, and the last has nun-chucks. The shoryuken ninja starts the fight off by throwing a barrage of stars. While Caine dodges the projectiles, a chain comes from behind and snags his legs. He falls on his stomach and the ninja with the chain starts to pull him in.
(Caine)(Thinking) Damn son of a bitch. Surprised me.
Once the chain-ninja has Caine under him, it takes out a knife and goes for the deathblow. But Caine is ready, and with his revolver already out, he turns around and blasts a hole in the ninja's face. Caine jumps to his feet and takes the chain weapon from the corpse on the floor. He then hurls the it at the shoryuken ninja. The chain then wraps around the ninja's neck, and one of the waited ends crushes its adams apple. As that ninja slowly suffocates to death, the spear ninja catches him off guard by running- and just like a pole vaulter- uses his spear for support to kick Caine through a mansion window into the dusty streets.
(Caine)(Thinking) Son of a BITCH! Oh, that's it! You made me mad now.
While Caine gets to his feet, the remaining ninja's bust through the mansion door. The spear ninja runs at Caine as fast as he can. But as soon as the spear almost runs through him, Caine sidesteps, grabs the spear away, and stabs the ninja into the eye and through the skull. Blood and brains shower the other 2 ninja's. Enraged, the nun-chuck ninja runs at Caine, whipping his weapon to distract him while going into a sweep. Caine anticipates and does a jumping kick to the ninja's face. As the ninja staggers, Caine comes up and uses its own nun-chucks to break the ninja's neck. As the last ninja walks up, it draws its sword. The two opponents stare each other down, until the ninja begins twirling his sword around. Caine readies himself. The ninja throws his sword up into the air, and then comes charging. Caine swiftly draws his revolver from under his coat and shoots the ninja in the thigh. The ninja stops, looks down at his leg, and then looks back up at a gun pointing to his head. The ninja's eyes widen... BLAM!
(Caine)(Thinking) Man, I'm glad that's over with. Stupid ninja's. Now it's time to take care of the traitor.
Caine walked back into the mansion to see the pudgy bastard still sitting there at the top of the stairs. At the site of Caine still alive, his eyes enlarged as he ran in his room and locked the door, screaming all the while.
(Cornelious) Help! Help! Someone save me! Help! Help!
(Caine)(Thinking) No one or nothing is going to save you from me.
Caine angrily walked up the stairs. When he got to the door, he kicked it down- only to find Cornelious with a gun pointed straight at him. Caine quickly ducked, and did a shoulder ram into the fatass, flinging the gun out of the room and over the stair rail. Caine looked at Cornelious with disgust.
(Cornelious) Please! Please don't kill me! I have the money! (gets suitcase from under bed) See, I have the money! (Caine grabs it) Please I beg you! I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry!
(Caine)(Thinking) Thanks for the money pal, but "Sorry" doesn't cut it.
Caine takes out his revolver.
(Cornelious) What? I gave you the money! You don't have to kill me, really! I'm sorry! I'm sorry...
Cornelious starts to cry.
(Cornelious)(Still crying) Ok, if you have to kill me, do it quick! (he flinches)
(Caine)(Thinking) Oh no buddy, for all the crap you made me go through, you're going to die slow.
Caine takes his revolver and slowly points it to Cornelious's right thigh. ...BLAM!
(Cornelious) No! No, stop please!
Caine takes his gun and points it at the fat mans left thigh. ..BLAM!
(Cornelious) Please end it! End it!
Caine points his weapon at Cornelious's right bicep. ..BLAM!
(Cornelious)...(passes out)
(Caine)(Thinking) Oh no you don't. You're going to stay awake through this.
Caine kicks Cornelious in the ribs, and he jumps with a start.
(Cornelious) Wha, what's going on? No!. Not You, not you!
Caine shoots Cornelious's left bicep.
(Cornelious)(weak) please..I can pay you more.
Caine points his revolver over his belly and pauses.. ..BLAM! Caine walks out of the room, leaving Cornelious to slowly die with a bullet in his stomach- and leaving him 100 thousand less richer. He went down the stairs and left Van Halla that day to head back to the Waterhole bar. By now they should have a new barkeeper in. Hopefully nobody knows who killed the first one. After all, the Waterhole is where he meets potential customers. And they'd better pay up, for their sake.
