Teenage Agent Two. Chapter Three.
Tk and Matt bolted down the corridor following the screams. Upon reaching a huge metal door Matt snarled and yanked the ice spray out of his pocket and literally froze the whole door in attempt to reach his friends. When the screams abruptly stopped Matt found that his heart had also done so for a second. Smashing his foot into the door beside Tk's they ran inside. At the other end they saw a limp Tai and Kari hanging from the wall. Moving over they quickly checked for a pulse before gently undoing them and bringing them down.
"Kari, please answer me." Tk whispered as he pushed a lock of sweat soaked hair from her forehead. He cradled her head in his lap, whispering endlessly to her as he tried to wake her up. Matt had lent Tai up against the wall and was turning on his watch.
"Cub One to base. We have found them, medical attention will be needed and –
Someone pressed the button on his watch, terminating the link. "You didn't think I would let you get away with this that easily?" Matt looked up at the person talking to him. He blinked when he released the speaker was a woman. She had tanned skin and heartless green eyes, but what struck him the most was that she had white hair. She smiled at him, her perfect white teeth flashing in the light. She raised a perfectly manicured hand and gave him a wave as she turned and walked away. That Lady was way too perfect, Matt thought darkly to himself. A hand clamped hold of his shoulder and he looked up into the beefy face of Kenko. Matt was hoisted off the floor by his shoulder and sent flying over Kenko's head, he slammed into the wall. The world around him flickered in and out of focus as he rubbed his eyes. Kenko raised a fist, to smash into Matt. When a pair of arm's snaked round his neck. He chocked immediately reaching behind him to the boy that was now strangling him. Matt growled as he saw Kenko grab Tk by the scruff of his neck and try to pull him off, Matt leapt forwards slamming his foot into the man's gut. Kenko grunted and knocked Matt away with one hand while he grabbed Tk with the other and hurled him across the room. Tk landed and rolled a few times, absorbing the impact. He stood up to find himself being tackled by Kenko, the man's hands grabbing hold of Tk's throat cutting of his air. Tk chocked as he world began to dance, black specs appearing before his eyes, as he gasped trying to get air into his lungs. "Leave him alone!" Matt jumped onto Kenko's back beating his fists against him. Tk went limp in his hands and Kenko flung him away like a rag doll before turning on his brother. The pair became locked in combat, but it only lasted for a matter of seconds. Matt was knocked on the back of the neck, his eyes rolling as his knees gave way. Kenko chuckled and grabbed the pair dragging them away.
Tk groaned and slowly opened his eyes, he looked up at a metal ceiling.
"Glad to see you up Squirt."
Tk groaned and rubbed his throat, Kenko was going to regret ever attacking them. He looked round releasing he was in a small room, much like the one he was in before. It was round and had a computer opposite them, there was once again the same chains only this time there were four. Tk hissed Tai and Kari still unconscious, were in two, he and Matt in the last ones. The white haired female walked in, Kenko on her heels. She smirked at the blondes before clapping her hands. Kenko turned and slapped Tai and Kari round the face. The pair groaned and slowly woke up.
"You *£!#@$" Swearwords spewed out of Tai's mouth as he glared at Kenko. The man smiled and slammed a fist into tai's jaw, Kari let out a surprised scream.
"Hush, hush now. We have business to get down to."
"You're Hakuma aren't you?" The lady flashed Tk that annoyingly perfect smile and ran a hand through her white hair. "That would be correct."
"White Devil huh? Well you sure got the devil's looks." Matt commented snidely, to most it would have sounded like a stupid comment. But Tk knew different, his brother had obviously remembered Genjo's words. You won't be able to think probably with anger clouding your vision. If they got her angry enough maybe she would slip some information.
"What did you just say?" She hissed, turning her eyes too Matt. "Hakuma means White Devil and I said that it was a perfect name seeing as you looked like the devil." Her emerald green eyes seemingly emotionless came to life, anger sprouting within them.
"I am called Hakuma because my hair is white and I cause havoc like that of a devil."
"You sure there isn't another reason?" Tk asked innocently, his lips twitching slightly as he tried to repress a smile. She glared at them, flicking her hair over her back as she turned and stalked over to the computer.
"Did your parents call you that when you were born? Cause you can't have been a nice looking baby."
"For your information Agents, my name is Akemi. I came up with the name Hakuma when I dyed my hair white before I went into the criminal business." She called over her shoulder as she the computer screen flickered into life. "Akemi, remember that." Matt hissed out of the corner of his mouth to Tk. The smaller blonde nodded and squinted at the computer screen.
"Don't be nosey Little Blonde." Kenko called out turning and standing behind Akemi, blocking his view.
"Uh, Matt, Tk?" The pair looked over at Tai and Kari who were staring at them.
"Yes?"
"Since when were you agents?!" Tai exploded, glaring at the pair savagely.
"Ah, that. Well you see –
"No time for past stories children. We're here to talk business."
"What kind of business?" Matt asked her.
"Why the Japanese Secret Service business of course." Tk and Matt pulled a face. Tk scrunched up his nose, an action he did that when he was confused or thoughtful. Kari always said it made him look incredibly cute.
"Why would we tell you?"
"Because if you don't I hurt your friends." She smiled and blew them a kiss before sauntering out the room. Kenko laughed and went after her, switching the light off as he went. "You can't get away in pitch black can you?"
"Yes we can." Matt hissed after the man's retreating back.
Tai stared long and hard in what he thought was the direction of Matt and Tk. Though it was difficult to tell in the darkness, there wasn't a single window in the room. He gave up after a while, groaning and leaning his pounding head against the cool metal wall.
"They make these things so tight." Tai jolted slightly when Tk's voice broke the quietness that hung in the air. "What do they make tight?"
"The handcuff things."
"I think you'll find it's to stop us from escaping." Tai commented sarcastically, closing his eyes. It didn't make any difference if they were open anyway. In the dark Tk smirked and shook his head. He twisted his hand pressing forward at the same time, something he had been doing for the last few minutes. As a result his hand had slowly been edging forward. The room was small, so everything had been pushed close together. So there wasn't that much of a distance between Matt and Tk. His fingertips brushed along something, Matt's jeans. The blonde smiled to himself and pressed forward a bit more. He found Matt's pocket, showing a triumphant smile the blonde pulled out the hair gel tube. After fiddling round for a bit he managed to get the top off and he held it to Matt's restraint. When the substance was applied the metal bean to fizz, Matt could feel it dissolving on his wrist. Once enough had gone he pulled his arm away and taking the test tube from his brother he did the same procedure with the other restraint.
"Ugh, I don't think you were supposed to be near the metal when it was dissolving." Matt commented as he rubbed his burnt wrists. He stumbled over to the wall and flicked a switch on. Light flooded the room, causing Tai to groan and screw up hi eyes.
"Couldn't you have warned us Ishida?" He growled, but by the smile on the brunette's face Matt could tell he was only joking.
"Uh, there are no keys Squirt."
"Maybe they're not as stupid as you thought." Tai commented lightly, opening one eye to stare at his best friend.
"Try the computer."
"What?"
"Try the computer Matt, it is probably computerised." The three stared at Kari before Matt turned back to the computer an amazed look still plastered on his face. He played around for a bit, trying to work our what to do.
"Er what do I press exactly?"
"Try going to the main menu and pressing the test subjects option."
Matt pulled a face and did as Tai told him to, surprisingly enough it came up with four areas each for the four torture equipment. Pressing the release button on three of them he turned back to his friends.
"How'd you know that?" Matt asked as he walked over and pulled Tai up. "I was watching her playing around with it earlier." Tk chuckled as he wrapped his arms round Kari's waist, her arms round his neck. "I think the pair of you would make good agents." Matt nodded his agreement as they walked over to the door.
Matt after opening the door stuck his head out and grimaced, the corridor had quite a few cameras and the occasionally patrol came over every now and again. Matt quietly shut the door and turned to face the others. "Any ideas?"
"A distraction?"
"Kari I love you." Tk declared as he turned and started looking through his pockets, he didn't notice the blush that covered her cheeks. He pulled a pen out of his pocket, smiling happily.
"Er Tk, what's so good about a pen?"
"It's not an ordinary pen. It's a tester of Jakuchu."
"Who?"
"Jakuchu, he makes all the gadgets and weapons and so on. And this," He declared, waggling it around, "He gave to me to without Genjo knowing, he wanted me to try it out."
"What is it?"
"It's a tranquiliser."
"How many shots?"
"Five."
Matt nodded thoughtfully, he then opened the door and looked out. Seeing no one the four quickly run down the corridor once again using the freezing trick to stop the cameras from seeing them. A few corridors down they turned round a corner to see a man coming down.
"Uh oh." Matt whispers as the guy raises a walkie talkie to his mouth. "Tk!" Nodding the blonde presses down the end of the pen, a small dark fires out the front, hitting the man. He freezes for a second before collapsing on the floor. Matt smiles slightly, "You can tell Jakuchu is works when we get back." He grabs the guy by the shirt and keeping to the walls walks away from the camera dragging the man across the floor to a cupboard, in which he dumps him in. The four glanced at each other before running down the metal corridors.
Matt hissed as he skidded to a stop, he could hear the pound of many feet beyond the metal doors. "There's lot's of people behind the door."
"Ya think?" Tai whispered sarcastically, Matt turned and glared at his friend. "I think Tai is getting over being ill." Tk commented lightly as he looked over at two who had gone into a staring contest. Kari giggled as she leaned against Tk's shoulder, the blonde still had one arm round her waist.
"Give me a lift up." Matt said, Tai nodded and hooked his hands together. The blonde stood up and sprayed the air vent above him in ice. After kicking it through he crawled along it, peering through the grate at the end Matt got a look at the room. A long way below him soldiers and other people mingled below him. They were pulling on bullet proof clothing and setting their guns up. Matt paused when he heard one of them mention Tai and Kari, he pressed his ear against the vent.
"You mean they're gonna torture the kiddies?"
"Yeah, then when the blondes have told her all 'bout the secret service we're going to get in there and take control."
"I'm just glad that I applied for this job and got in. I'm proud to say that I'm part of Hakuma's specially hand chosen army."
Matt growled and turned round, he made his way down the right hand passage in the end it became to small to crawl down, so was the right. With a sigh of frustration he made it back out and jumped down beside his friends. "It's full completely and there's no way out through the air vents."
"So what do we do now?"
"We have to go through the room, if we can make it to the other side the we'll be fine."
The four looked at each other and nodded, Matt opened the door slightly peering through. "Well, here we go. Let's go and get ourselves killed." Tai mumbled as he looked through the crack in the door, Matt smiled and shook his head. "Get ready to run." The four positioned themselves. "Go!" They sprung forward flinging the door open and running in. The men were so surprised it took them a while to register what was going on, by then Tk had gotten his pen out. He shot at the four men closest to them and they ran past. They were at the door when the soldiers got their minds back. They lifted their guns and fired, but not at them. The doorway started to crumble under the rain of bullets. Tai and Matt ran through, covering their heads as metal pelted them. Tk cried out as the doorway crumpled, leaving the exit completely blocked. Growling he grabbed Kari's hand and pulled her to the right, disappearing down a different corridor. Bullets followed them, he yanked a door to a room open and shoved Kari in before following her. He could hear the sound of metal falling as the corridor was brought down around them. Kari whimpered slightly as a chunk of metal slammed into the door denting it. The firing stopped and they could hear the sound of somebody walking across the ground.
"We got them."
"Yeah there's no way they could of survived that."
Tk let out a sigh of relieve and looked over at Kari. They had ended up in a cupboard, a now dented cupboard. Kari squirmed slightly, a flash of pain making it's way across her face. "What's the matter?"
"Something's poking into by back."
Tk looked over her shoulder to see a piece of shrapnel had punctured the wall and was poking her. "Don't struggle it will dig into your back." He whispered as he gently hooked his hands under her arms and pulled her towards him. The wall groaned, without Kari holding it up it began to close in, Kari let out a muffled yell and buried her face in Tk's chest. The wall stopped after a while, leaving Kari and Tk pressed up against each other. "We're not going to get out are we?" Tk blinked at her words. A small smile crept across his face as he wrapped his arms round her, "Of course we are, we'll think of something. So don't you dare start giving up on me." She looked up and smiled at the blonde, gratitude shining in her eyes. She then placed her face against his shoulder as one hand gently stroked his cheek. He smiled slightly allowing her scent to take over his senses.
"Well we have ourselves a little problem. So tell me Tk, how do we get out?" Tk laughed at her words, immediately stifling them when he realised that they might hear him. "Can you sit back a bit?" Kari shuffled back a bit, smirking at Tk. The blonde dug in his pockets, pulling out the hair gel tube. Kari smiled broadly at him, "Well ain't you a smart little agent."
Matt groaned as he looked at the rubble behind him and Tai. "What now? They will be okay, won't they?" Tai asked, his chocolate eyes looking fearfully at Matt.
"They should be, Tk and Kari will –
"Will what Little Blonde?"
Matt turned round to see Kenko standing behind him, the man cracked his knuckles and smiled at the pair. "Tk and Kari will be fine. It's us I'm worried about." Matt whispered as he started to walk backwards. Men began to emerge from the corridor joining Kenko and backing him up against the two. "Run!" Matt screamed, the two turned and bolted down the corridors. Kenko smiled, "I always love a good game of cat and mouse."
