Antonio, since you have been reading my fanfic, this chapter is dedicated to you. By the way your still an Ass.
Chapter 20
The limo pulled up to an abandon factory by the sea. It was a desolate area filled with junk and remnants of a once striving iron factory of long ago. The scene can rival a movie set in which two warring mafia lords were about to do battle. The north end of the entrance was all Zaizen's men and the south end were Amon's.
When Zaizen wasn't looking Robin felt Antonio slip her something heavy in her trenchcoat pocket. She looked over at him confused. She slipped her hand in her pocket and felt the cold steel of a gun.
Robin came out first and right behind her was Zaizen. Across the yard she saw Amon. He had a solemn look on his face and right beside him was Touko. Robin looked nervously around. She can taste the salt that had dissipated in the air. The smell of dead fish was everywhere.
Robin turned to her brother and grabbed his hand.
"Lets go Antonio." Antonio didn't budge and looked away from Robin
"I'm sorry Robin but your brother is now in my payroll, from now on, you two will be enemies." Zaizen told her coldly
Robin looked up at her brother and pleaded with him. "Antonio, you must come with me. Amon will take you back. We have always been together."
She saw a sadness in Anotonio's eyes. She knew deep down that he will not go with her this time.
"Robin, it's time we part ways. You no longer have to care for me." Antonio hugged his little sister, he gently wiped the tears that were flowing down her cheeks.
He whispered to her "I love you Robin, go sweetie and make me an uncle."
Robin swallowed hard and gave Antonio one last hug. She still was hesitant to leave him. Zaizen took her and they walked toward the middle. Amon and Touko proceeded to do the same. Robin kept looking back at her brother. They all reached the median at the same time.
Amon shoved Touko towards Zaizen at the same time grabbed Robin into his protection.
Touko turned and hugged her dad. Zaizen hugged her back. He was relieved to see that Amon had not hurt her in anyway. She looked up to him with sadness in her eyes and whispered an apology. Zaizen looked at her oddly.
Touko quickly took the gun that her dad had in his vest pocket. Her faces full of hatred, she aimed the gun at Robin. Robin reacted quickly, fumbling for the gun Antonio gave her. With one quick movement she took it out and fired it at Touko. It hit Touko dead on. Touko fell back into Zaizen's arms and she can hear Zaizen screaming "NO!!!"
Amon quickly jump over to protect Robin. Dojima had noticed the whole scene unfolding and started her car up. She drove her car towards Robin and Amon in between Zaizen and the now dead Touko. Amon grabbed Robin and got in the car. Zaizen was still bent over holding Touko and screaming for her not to die. Dojima peeled away. Robin froze when she saw Zaizen pull out a gun and aimed it at her brother.
She looked over at Dojima "Dojima stop the car, Antonio is ......."
Two loud gun shots was heard before she can finish her sentence. She looked backed and saw the lifeless body of her brother.
"Oh my god, No." She screamed.
Robin started grabbing for the door but Amon held her tightly.
"Dojima please stop the car." Robin cried hysterically.
"Robin, listen to me, it's too late, he's dead" Amon told her gently
Amon took out his cell phone and instructed one of his men to grab Antonio's body.
As soon as he got the call from Sakaki that the job was complete and all is clear. Amon took out a small looking remote and pressed the red button that was blinking.
One second later, there was tremendous blast sound. The sound effect can be felt even from the distance that they were in. Robin saw a huge ball of fire had formed which lasted for several seconds. This ball mushroomed and rose to a height of over twenty feet before it dimmed. Robin can see the light from the explosion along the area of where Zaizen and his men were. A looming smoke cloud hung over the now newly formed grave site of Zaizen and his men.
Amon's men made it out ok except for 2 men that was caught in the crossfire that erupted when Robin shot Touko.
Robin looked over at Amon. She was shell shock to the helter-skelter event that they have partaken.
"I had to do it Robin, I couldn't risk our children's future and you ." Amon told her solemnly
Robin nodded absently.
"My brother died because of me Amon." She whispered
"Robin don't blame yourself. He chose Zaizen over you. He would of died eventually."
"No, I should of forced him to come." Robin was rambling on.
"Touko would of killed me and Antonio saved my life by giving me this gun." Robin continued in between sobs.
Robin snuggled into Amon's arms. Her heart felt heavy with sadness. Eventhough they had their disputes now and then, she always found it in her heart to forgive Antonio.
Amon held onto Robin. He was relieved that she was back in his arms again. His heart had stopped when he saw Touko aiming a gun at Robin. He was about to draw his gun when Touko fell to the floor.
Robin had stopped crying by the time they got to the mansion. He can see the exhaustion on her face.
Robin got out of the car. Amon, Dojima, and Sakaki stayed with her. Michael came out and when he saw Robin's eyes he knew something terrible had happened. She waited patiently by the curb until the car that had her brother's body arrived.
Robin jumped in the car. Her brother's body was laying across the seat. She swept the dark blonde hair from his face. Robin laid her head on his chest. She use to do it when she was young. She would run to Antonio whenever it stormed and she would lay her head across his chest and he would tell her a story to make her feel better. He always promised that he would never leave her.
"Antonio, I'm sorry I left you." She whispered to herself.
Dojima couldn't bare to watch the sorrowful display and she buried her head into Sakaki's chest. Amon had to control himself from rushing to Robin's side upon seeing her anguish. Her grief was so apparent. He loved Robin because she knew how to love. Amon never knew anyone with such a pure heart. Robin on countless occasion had willingly gave up her own luxury just so her brother would not suffer.
Robin got up and gave her brother a kiss in the cheeks. She took both of his hands and folded them together and place them on his chest. She took the crucifix that Antonio had around his next and she exchanged it with hers. She stood up and left the car. Amon immediately took her into his arms. He desperately wanted to protect her from the unhappiness she was feeling. He felt powerless to console Robin.
"Robin, I will take care of arranging the burial but you need to get some rest"
Robin nodded into his chest. Amon look over Robin and saw a slight bruising around her cheeks. He frowned a little but didn't question it. Robin looked over to Michael who was in the car saying his good- byes.
Robin gave a long hug to Michael as soon he was done paying his respect to her brother.
"Are you going to be alright Robin?"
"Yes, did Amon treat you okay?" Robin glanced over at Amon. Amon looked away.
Michael nodded, he looked over to Amon.
"I guess I was wrong about Mr. Masawi. He truly loves you and I'm okay with that."
Robin smiled at Michael.
They all proceeded to walk in the house to get some needed rest.
