A Gangsta's A Gangsta
AN: what would you do to save the one you loved live
*Sacrifice*
I walked down the narrow alley with my hands stuffed in my pants pocket. The cold December air freezing. I shivered as I looked up at the tall building that housed my apartment. It seemed to be the only place that would always be there for me. The only place that stayed the same, no matter what it would stay. I walked past the bricks and looked at the fogged glass doors. "Mr. Spiegel! I think you should go to you apartment quickly!" Harry the doorman said in a hushed voice as he opened the door. I stopped and looked at him cocking an eyebrow. "Why?" I asked puzzled. "Just go." He said moving his hand into the lobby. I shrugged and walked in to the warmth of the lobby. The dim light cast my shadow behind me as I pushed the elevator button. When I stepped out of the elevator I turned to my apartment I saw that the door was slightly off its hinges. I walked over and pushed it, it swung open effortlessly. I felt my blood turn as cold as the temperature out side seeing my apartment in total disaster.
Hello my friend, we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart a memory
A perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember
My eyes widened when I spotted the open suitcase with the clothes discarded over the floor. There were obvious signs of a struggle, but between who? The only person who had access to my apartment was...Faye! "Shit!" I mumbled flipping on the lights now seeing the bloodstains of the wood floor and white carpet by the door as if someone was dragged. "Faye.." I whispered walking further into the apartment. Looking on both sides it was apparent she was the only thing they had "taken." My breath caught in my chest as soon as I saw the little red light flashing on my answering machine. I walked over to the coffee table it was sitting on. I pulled a shaking hand out and looked at it as I let my hand hover over the button. I closed my eyes and my hand stopped shaking completely. 'I don't know why I'm so nervous.' I thought as I hit the button. All the sudden my apartment was silent except for that single noise of the tape starting. I stopped breathing and hear the message loud and clear.
When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice
"Hello Mr. Spiegel. Last of the Red Dragon Syndicate." A raspy old voice hissed. "We have something that you might want back. You and your girl here." He paused and I heard Faye's muffled cries in the background. My eyes narrowed as he continued. "I have some plans for her if you don't come and." he paused again and I heard more of Faye's horrified cries. "we don't want that to happen do we Mr. Spiegel?" he was mocking me, my pain, my loss, my own god damn blood that I couldn't deny. He was mocking the face that I was the last of a kind never to walk the face of Mars or any other planet again. "Bastard!" I screamed kicking the coffee table over as it continued to play the most important part. "If you do want the girl back then meet us at the Draco Park at midnight. We know you just got out of the hospital but we'd love ta see ya." He said in a fake adoring voice. "You should know where that is, you blew up what used to be there.." The phone went dead all the sudden as the man hung up. I stood there fuming when I thought about his words. "Draco Park.you should know where that is, you blew up what used to be there." 'The Black Draco Syndicate building.' I thought looking at a clock on the floor that used to be on the coffee table. "10:00 pm" "Great! Now I get to sit around here for an hour just worrying." I said aloud collapsing on the couch.
We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to realize
What's in yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there
The couch was covered with a blue sheet like the ones in my bedroom. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back resting against the cushion of the couch. I sat there for a long time. I sighed as the phone rang. I froze as the trilling tone rang through the silent apartment. The tape started with a small click. My eyes shot open when I heard a panicked female voice whispering. "Spike?" it called as I jumped off the couch and over the fallen coffee table. "Faye!?!?!" I yelled in picking up the receiver. The voice sighed relieved. "Oh my god Spike!" she whispered. "Faye.What's going on, are you okay? I saw blood on the floor and then the message and-" she cut me off, "Spike shhh." She told me in a calm voice as I stopped. "I'm fine, I'm not sure who these guys are?" she stopped and I could hear footsteps through the phone. "Just come to the park! I love y-" the phone was cut off. I didn't move for several minuets.
When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice
I sat there wondering what those men could be doing to my Faye. Letting my imagination run wild with horrid images of Faye in there "procession." I gritted my teeth defying those ideas as I stood up. I swallowed hard, all I wanted to do was live a happy little life with Faye ever since the day I meet her, but it seems fate was always pulling us apart. "I don't believe in fate!" I whispered to my self through clenched teeth. I looked at the clock, "11:22" I walked into my bedroom and saw the sheets just as they had been the night I had "died." I grinned knowing that Faye must have left them like that to remember that special night. I turned to the dresser and pulled out the bottom drawer under a pile of shirts I found a Jericho and pulled out an extra mag. lying next to it. I turned away and put it in the back of my pants and let my jacket fall concealing it from sight. I left.
I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
Cause when you are with me I am free
I walked down the deserted sidewalk at 11:34. Looking around I oriented my self and walked in the direction of where the Draco building had once stood tall and proud, defiant of the law. I saw the café where I had waited, now fully repaired and a few people sitting in it reading and sipping coffee. I looked across the street. There was a beautiful park there, a fountain was in the very center of the park. I walked over to it. The bottom of the stone fountain was layered with pennies and nickels. I smiled thinking about being a little innocent child again. Believing that throwing a penny into a fountain would grant any outlandish wish they could concoct. I fished around in my pocket and found a dull penny, I looked at the date, "2064" The year I met an angel in black leather. I flipped the penny into the fountain wishing to see her face. "Hey it might just be my Christmas wish come true." I sighed as the penny hit the water. I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice, My Sacrifice
"Wishing Mr. Spiegel?" A cold, raspy, and old voice asked as I pulled my hand from my pocket to the back of my pants under my jacket. I saw the man's reflection in the fountain. My face softened when I saw Faye's reflection. But as soon as I had softened I saw the man push her and she moved forward. I pulled the gun out from my pants and turned on the man grinning as Faye's eyes widened. The man pulled Faye back shoving the gun he held into her temple. "Hello.."
I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
My Sacrifice.
