Hey, I just received the revise version from Golgo. So without to much
fuss, here it is chapter 16. By the way don't Meryl and Knives remind you
of Bulma and Vegeta. Well at least they do to me. Trigun it's not mine.
Only in my darkest fantasies.
Chapter 16.
December City.
Damian Gray was sitting at his desk, tons of papers were pilled up around him. He was not in a good mood, it has been weeks and there was still no news of Conrad or the woman. He read the reports over and over again, trying to find any clue of their whereabouts. The only thing he knew for sure was that the stampede was not in contact with his brother, and that he was
not the person everyone talked about. According to the reports of that Meryl Stryfe, Vash the stampede was a womanizer, a donut lover, and a peace maker. He has a way to get out of problems alive, but his good heart was his weakness.
Something that didn't make sense though, was the Gung ho guns and their connection to the stampede. Whoever they were, their objective was to kill the man no matter what. They weren't after the money, the outlaw had to be alive. Then why try so hard to kill him? He never heard anything about a group called the Gung ho guns before, and what was bothering him the most was
that man called Knives. He was alive, that was for sure. After hearing the news about Torim town, he knew the man was still kicking in this planet. But why do that?, were did all these people disappear to? Why write your name, like if you wanted people to know you done it? That was clearly a message but to whom?
All these questions were bothering the young man, this man Knives had manage to live for a century in the shadows. And out of the blue, he just appears leaving his name in ghost towns. What was his purpose?. He had to called Giovanni, Paulo and Osiel, probably the killers will know anything about the Gung ho guns or Knives. They should be arriving tomorrow, if they
received his telegram. Damian grabbed the last report sent to the insurance company, he has been
investigating everything about the stampede. He needed to know his enemy, if he wanted to get rid of him. But there was something wrong with the last report, somehow it was different. He stood up and went to the mini bar, he grabbed a cup put some ice in it and serve some whisky.
It was late, but he couldn't sleep. There were too many lose strings, his gut was telling him that
somehow something was amiss. If he just knew who the hell was that Knives, and who was that woman. And then there was Dr. Marlon, Damian just couldn't trust the man. He has been thinking on using the drug on him, but what if he was just paranoid because of the whole
deal. He was used to getting anything he wanted, as fast as he wanted it. And not being able to find the woman was bothering him a great deal. He started to drink his whisky, forgetting for a moment about his problems.
He was musing on the differences between black and red label, when he realized what was wrong with the report. It wasn't written by the same person. Meryl Stryfe's writing style, was full of detail and perfection no matter the situation. She didn't write that report but whoever did tried to convince the insurance that it was her. Probably her partner did it, but if that was the case why lie about it? Did something happen to the other woman, why try to cover it?. And then there was the thing of the insurance agents not being back home yet.
He started to read the last report again, even thought he probably knew it by heart. This time he noticed something that he didn't before, a week was missing. Before the last week report, the week before that was unaccounted for. It was Meryl Stryfe who wrote the first reports. But after that week, something happen and it must of been something big. Because it seems that the woman took her job really serious. And also why tell the insurance that they are quitting so
suddenly, and not to send anybody after the stampede. It was reckless of her, and she seemed to be the kind of person to be responsible until the end.
Damian then noticed a connection, it was three weeks after the missing report that Conrad told them of the discovery of the fourth subject. And he said that her client found her, exactly that same week that was unaccounted for in the report. And mysteriously right after that, somebody else writes the report using her name and tells the insurance that they are quitting....and she hasn't come back home yet....why send a woman to followed Vash the Stampede....wait a minute, Marlon was the one who sent her. Damian sat down again and thought for a moment, every single fact was playing in his head.
"Wait a minute, Marlon knows her. It was him that sent her after the outlaw, it was him that gave me the reports. I thought that he was crazy for recommending a woman instead of a man, but he told me that Meryl was more than fit to do the job...
Flashback....
"They sent two women to follow the Stampede, that company must be desperate" said Damian to the doctor after he found out about Meryl and Milly.
"You should know that Meryl isn't your average woman, she has many talents and is more than prepared to do that kind of job. She is without a doubt one of a kind" said the doctor very proud, like if he was talking of his own daughter.
"You seem to know a lot about her"
"I do, I was her family personal doctor until recently. It was me who deliver her, and attended her
mother afterwards"
End of flashback....
"Damn it" said Damian angry "It's her, she is the fourth subject. That fucking doctor has been lying to me, but why? What is he hiding" Damian tapped his fingers on his desk, he needed to know why the doctor lied to him and now. He called his butler over the intercom, and told him to bring the doctor and fast. He open one of his drawers and pulled out a black leather box, he took a syringe out and a little bottle containing a yellowish colored liquid. He inserted the liquid in the syringe, and repeated the process with two more. Moments later there was a knocked on the
door, and the butler and a tied up doctor entered the room. The butler sat the doctor on the chair.
Damian didn't even hesitate to inject the doctor, he didn't even asked him why he lied to him.
The doctor felt the effect of whatever Damian had done to him working through his body, he felt relaxed and kind of sleepy. He could barely see straight and then his body suddenly went numb.
After 10 minutes went by, Damian started the interrogation on the doctor. Injecting him again, when he seem to be coming back into conciseness. The drug seemed to be working marvels, and Damian made a mental note to give a bonus to whoever created it for him. The doctor told Damian everything, about Meryl and his connection with her and the real reason he wanted the
twins dead. The young man recorded everything down, and after he was sure that was all the doctor could tell him. He pulled out a gun, and killed him. He no longer needed him, might as well get rid of him now before he becomes a problem.
After his butler got rid of the body, he pulled out the folder that had the information on Meryl Stryfe. For the first time, he looked at the picture of the woman. She was pretty, but there was nothing really out of the ordinary. Well she was created that way after all, they didn't want her to look any different than a human. But according to what the doctor told him, that woman was really dangerous. He wasn't dealing with your average outlaw here, more than before he needed the help of the three killers. After learning the real history, Damian was more than convinced that the twins had to die and that getting the woman alive wouldn't be easy. He decided to go to
sleep, there was nothing he could do until the assassins showed up.
Plant facility.
Meryl was at the bulb room, showing her sister her latest creation. Since Knives told her not to go to the bottom floors, her only distraction besides training was drawing. It was the middle of the day, and her session with Knives was over. After that she grabbed the sketchbook that Knives gave her, and headed to the bulb room to show off her drawing skills to the only other person or being capable of understanding in the complex.
"That's me?" asked the plant.
"Yes, if you had any clothes on. I designed that dress too, it fits you" said a very proud Meryl.
"What are you gonna draw next?"
"I don't know, anything that catches my eye. I wish that I could draw Zazie, but he is not back yet" said Meryl disappointed.
"You still don't know anything of your friend or that man that's after you?"
"No, it's been eight days and still no news from any of them"
"What about the twin, is he still training you?"
"Yes, he is. But don't worry, he doesn't know about my secret yet"
"That's our last resort, if that doesn't work then we don't know what else"
"Stop worrying, we knew that he was gonna do this. As long as I keep quiet, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, it's a long time until the children are born. Most likely he will not do anything until then, we still have lots of time to make him understand"
"We hope that you are right"
"I better go now, he still doesn't like me talking to you. I'll come back later, see ya" said Meryl. The plant watched as her sister left the room.
Meryl walked throughout the corridors of the complex, she was looking for anything that she could draw. She had to admit that she was really good at it, she never drew before and now that there was nothing else to do. It became her hobby. She was close to the kitchen when she saw a cat. It was a black cat, with really big yellowish colored eyes. He had a bored expression on
him, which made him look just like Legato. Meryl got close to the animal, and he just continued to look at her. She grabbed the cat and stared at it, it was really weird looking.
"Where did you come from?" asked Meryl like if the cat could answer her.
"Mew?"
"Are you hungry?, let's get something to eat"
"Mew..."
Meryl entered the kitchen, and after putting the cat and the book on the table she grabbed a plate and put some meat on it. She put the cat on her shoulder, because it was actually really small. And grabbed the rest of her things, and headed to Knives office. When she entered, Knives was reading one of his really boring books and didn't even acknowledge her presence. She put the plate on the floor, and the cat jump from her shoulder to eat. Almost an hour later, Knives
glance from behind his book to Meryl. She was laying on the floor drawing, she looked like a little girl. He then noticed an ugly black cat, that remind him greatly of Legato, staring at him.
"What's that" asked Knives.
"A cat" answered Meryl back, without even looking up to him.
"I know what it is, where did he come from" said Knives annoyed, even though he was used to Meryl's sarcasm.
"I found him, I decided to adopt him. Doesn't he remind you of the ice cub?"
"You should ask me first you know"
"He is kind of weird, and his eyes are abnormally big and yellow. I was planning on naming him Legato, what do you think?"
Knives gave a defeated sigh, "do whatever you want" and started to read his book again.
Meryl stayed in the office playing with the cat, Knives knew that Meryl wanted attention, she acted so childish sometimes. Putting the book aside, he stood up and walked until he was next to her.
"What do you want?"
Meryl look up to him, 'it always works' she thought "nothing, do you want something?"
"Tell me what you want, or get out"
"Grumpy aren't you, it's not my fault that they aren't back yet" said Meryl hurt. She grabbed the cat and was about to leave when knives grabbed her by the arm.
"I didn't mean it that way, just tell me what's on your mind"
"I just wanted to talk to you, you are always reading those boring books"
"Isn't the attention I give you at nights enough for you, you want more?" Said Knives in an arrogant way.
"You are such an ass" Meryl said while shaking his hand away, she opened the door to leave but Knives closed it. Trapping her between the door and him.
"All you have to do is ask" purred Knives on her ear, sending shivers all over her body. She hated her body for being so weak to Knives touch. He kissed her neck and ear, making her lower regions tingle at the sensation. But he stooped and walk away from her, Meryl was confused and disappointed.
"You still haven't told me what you want" Knives told her, with mischief and arrogance in his voice. Meryl didn't know what to say, she only came here to talk to him but now her body wanted more.
"Why did you stop" asked Meryl.
"You still haven't answer my question"
"Finished what you started"
"Finish what?" Asked knives innocently.
"Don't act dumb with me, you know what I want"
Knives got in front of her again, and placed his hands against the door. "Tell me what you want"
Meryl look up to him, she was no longer ashamed of having sex with Knives. She had accepted the fact that she was attracted to the killer, probably more than she was ever attracted to Vash. But love him was a different story , she was sure that she was still in love with Vash or something like it. Yes it sounds weird, being in love with one brother, and really attracted to the other.
It may sound complicated at first, but it actually makes sense once you get used to it. Or that's what she told herself.
"I want you to make love to me" said Meryl to Knives.
Knives grabbed Meryl and carried her to were his desk was, he put her on top of the desk and started to kiss her passionately.
"Knives, the cat"
Knives stopped what he was doing, and grab the cat that was on Meryl's lap. After getting rid of the annoying creature, he came back to find his desk clean of everything and an innocent looking Meryl waiting for him. He continued with his kisses while getting rid of Meryl's clothes, and his clothes too. In a matter of seconds, they were both naked having sex in his office.
Since meeting Knives, Meryl became bolder when it came to sex. She would no longer lay down and wait for her partner to be done, she wanted to participate. She had to admit that the idea of being his first and most likely the only one and last, made her feel good. Here was this good looking killer that had only eyes for her, this man that has killed so many making love to her and only her. Knives moved his hand lower until reaching her opening, he inserted one finger inside of
her making sure she was ready for him. When he took them out, he lick them tasting her liquid. He entered her slow while kissing and biting her neck and earlobes, starting a rhythm that she could followed with him but slowly getting faster, harder and more demanding.
Knives moved his mouth from her neck to her breast, sucking one while grabbing the other. He was thrusting against Meryl's body, fast and hard. Meryl couldn't remember any other time when he was this harsh on her, he was pounding her like he never did before, but she wanted more. All you could hear were her screams, his grunting and the noise of their bodies slick with sweat.
Knives was close to his release, nothing besides the woman screaming under him mattered at this moment. But he was brought back to earth when he noticed, and he still doesn't know how he did it, the presence of his brother just outside the building. He had to stop, and so close. 'Fuck'
Meryl couldn't understand what was wrong, Knives just stopped and was trying to calm himself down. She was about to ask him, when she noticed that they were not alone. Vash was outside, and everybody else too. He looked at her, and you could see that he was mad. Damn she was mad, this had been probably their best sex yet. They got dressed as fast as they could, Knives mumbling random stuff about making somebody suffer greatly. 'What a way to receive your friends, Knives
must be fuming'
"Why don't you stay here, while I take care of them" asked Meryl, hoping that he would agree with her
"I'm fine"
"Are you sure"
"Yes. Come on let's get done with this"
They made their way to the main room, were their guests were waiting. Knives didn't have a happy face, he looked like if he was ready to kill somebody. But she decided to just keep walking, one thing she learned from Zazie and Legato was never to bother Knives when he had that look on him. 'God this is just great, what is going to happen now' When they entered the room, Legato and the
other Gung ho guns noticed Knives bad mood and disappeared. They were not stupid, they knew that their boss was capable of when in this state. The doctor also disappeared at the sight, leaving a
confused Vash and Milly and a really scared Wolfwood. He knew that Knives wasn't happy of their arrival, but he couldn't just leave.
Vash look astonished at Meryl, she was gorgeous with that white dress and her blushed checks. (If only he knew why they were flushed) He was in a spell, all he wanted to do was run up to her and hug her and kiss her senseless. Milly was happy to see her friend after so long, she ran up to her crying and screaming her name.
Meryl did the same.
"Oh Meryl I missed you so much"
"I did too Milly, I'm so happy that you are here"
Meryl didn't want to get away from the big woman, but Vash literally separated them so that he could hug her. She was happy to see Vash again, but Knives was right there. A very pissed Knives, who didn't like at all the way his brother wouldn't let go of his Meryl. Wolfwood came to the rescue and separated Vash from Meryl by pinching him hard on his side.
"Meryl, showed them to their rooms. I'll be waiting for you at the office" said Knives beforedisappearing. Meryl could tell that his mood was getting worse, and most likely she will have to deal with him later. But at least he didn't say or did anything to her friends. At least he was keeping up with his promise, he will not hurt Vash because it will hurt her.
"Guys come on, I'll show you to your rooms"
Milly and Vash noticed that Meryl was forcing a smile, Milly wanted to ask what was wrong. But Wolfwood told her not to. They grabbed their belongings and followed Meryl in silence.
When they arrived to the rooms, Meryl told them that she would talk to them tomorrow. And not to leave their rooms besides going to used the bathroom. After saying goodnight she left. Leaving a very sad Milly and heartbroken Vash.

Damian Gray was sitting at his desk, tons of papers were pilled up around him. He was not in a good mood, it has been weeks and there was still no news of Conrad or the woman.

All these questions were bothering the young man, this man Knives had manage to live for a century in the shadows. And out of the blue, he just appears leaving his name in ghost towns. What was his purpose?. He had to called Giovanni, Paulo and Osiel, probably the killers will know anything about the Gung ho guns or Knives. They should be arriving tomorrow, if they
received his telegram. Damian grabbed the last report sent to the insurance company, he has been
investigating everything about the stampede. He needed to know his enemy, if he wanted to get rid of him. But there was something wrong with the last report, somehow it was different. He stood up and went to the mini bar, he grabbed a cup put some ice in it and serve some whisky.
It was late, but he couldn't sleep. There were too many lose strings, his gut was telling him that
somehow something was amiss. If he just knew who the hell was that Knives, and who was that woman. And then there was Dr. Marlon, Damian just couldn't trust the man. He has been thinking on using the drug on him, but what if he was just paranoid because of the whole
deal. He was used to getting anything he wanted, as fast as he wanted it. And not being able to find the woman was bothering him a great deal. He started to drink his whisky, forgetting for a moment about his problems.
He was musing on the differences between black and red label, when he realized what was wrong with the report. It wasn't written by the same person.

All you could hear were her screams, his grunting and the noise of their bodies slick with sweat.
Knives was close to his release, nothing besides the woman screaming under him mattered at this moment. But he was brought back to earth when he noticed, and he still doesn't know how he did it, the presence of his brother just outside the building. He had to stop, and so close. 'Fuck'
Meryl couldn't understand what was wrong, Knives just stopped and was trying to calm himself down. She was about to ask him, when she noticed that they were not alone. Vash was outside, and everybody else too. He looked at her, and you could see that he was mad. Damn she was mad, this had been probably their best sex yet. They got dressed as fast as they could, Knives mumbling random stuff about making somebody suffer greatly. 'What a way to receive your friends, Knives
must be fuming'
"Why don't you stay here, while I take care of them" asked Meryl, hoping that he would agree with her
"I'm fine"
"Are you sure"
"Yes. Come on let's get done with this"
They made their way to the main room, were their guests were waiting. Knives didn't have a happy face, he looked like if he was ready to kill somebody. But she decided to just keep walking, one thing she learned from Zazie and Legato was never to bother Knives when he had that look on him. 'God this is just great, what is going to happen now' When they entered the room, Legato and the
other Gung ho guns noticed Knives bad mood and disappeared. They were not stupid, they knew that their boss was capable of when in this state. The doctor also disappeared at the sight, leaving a
confused Vash and Milly and a really scared Wolfwood. He knew that Knives wasn't happy of their arrival, but he couldn't just leave.
Vash look astonished at Meryl, she was gorgeous with that white dress and her blushed checks. (If only he knew why they were flushed) He was in a spell, all he wanted to do was run up to her and hug her and kiss her senseless. Milly was happy to see her friend after so long, she ran up to her crying and screaming her name.
Meryl did the same.
"Oh Meryl I missed you so much"
"I did too Milly, I'm so happy that you are here"
Meryl didn't want to get away from the big woman, but Vash literally separated them so that he could hug her. She was happy to see Vash again, but Knives was right there. A very pissed Knives, who didn't like at all the way his brother wouldn't let go of his Meryl. Wolfwood came to the rescue and separated Vash from Meryl by pinching him hard on his side.
"Meryl, showed them to their rooms. I'll be waiting for you at the office" said Knives beforedisappearing. Meryl could tell that his mood was getting worse, and most likely she will have to deal with him later. But at least he didn't say or did anything to her friends. At least he was keeping up with his promise, he will not hurt Vash because it will hurt her.
"Guys come on, I'll show you to your rooms"
Milly and Vash noticed that Meryl was forcing a smile, Milly wanted to ask what was wrong. But Wolfwood told her not to. They grabbed their belongings and followed Meryl in silence.
When they arrived to the rooms, Meryl told them that she would talk to them tomorrow. And not to leave their rooms besides going to used the bathroom. After saying goodnight she left. Leaving a very sad Milly and heartbroken Vash.
