I see red and besides revenge only one word comes to my mind...Bryan! Tala had told the other he was going to see Bryan. I put two and two together and decided I'd start with Bryan, however, there are some other preparations that needed to be done first, I kissed Tala on the forehead.
"Don't worry, I'll avenge you. You and Rei."
I stand and take off running back towards my apartment, a plan was forming in my mind all I had to do now was execute it.
I burst in through the door of my apartment obviously startling my unwanted guests but I couldn't care less.
"Why..." Tyson begins but stops and just points at my clothes, I look down at myself and only then realise that I'm covered in blood, Tala's blood.
"Tala's dead, Bryan shot him, Rei's dead, Bryan probably shot him too," I tell them before running into my room returning with two bags before chucking one to Kenny, the other, to Tyson and Max.
"Put the money in one, the drugs in the other," I order before walking back into my room and towards the back left corner. I kneel down and tap the floor planks; hollow. I lifted up two of the planks pulling out my gun before quickly shoving it within my pocket.
I walk into the lounge room, Tyson, Max and Kenny are still working at filling the bags,
"I want those full and any of the remaining drugs destroyed," I tell them,
"Where are you going?" Tyson questions me,
"To find Bryan," I tell them before leaving my apartment once more. I walk down the streets, empty, forgotten streets of the projects. I turn a corner, then another and then another until I find myself looking down the alley, Tala's body still lay there; dead.
I remove my gaze from Tala and slowly walk deeper into the alley until I was one with the shadows; hidden from view. All I had to do was wait; Bryan would come soon enough.
I was right, after no more than an hour of waiting my eyes caught sight of him lurking in the shadows at the front of the alley. I watch as he moves cautiously into the alley glancing over his shoulder as if afraid someone was following him, he kneels down a few paces from Tala and picks something up off the ground. It's a bullet shell. He stands and looks around the alley, he's looking for the others and I slowly edge myself out of the darkness.
...Normal POV...
Bryan's eyes fell upon another spent bullet casing; he kneeled down and picked it up when a sickeningly familiar click, the sound of the safety being taken off a gun, reached his ears. Bryan spun quickly around to find himself staring into the barrel of a gun, the holder, was Kai. Bryan hadn't expected this, Kai wasn't to know Tala was dead.
"Kai, killing me isn't going to bring Tala back," Bryan told him, though there wasn't much else he could say with Kai's gun in his face.
"This is for Tala," Kai said his voice full of hatred. The last thing Bryan saw was chrome and a flash of light.
Kai watched as Bryan's lifeless body fell to the ground before aiming the gun at Bryan's heart,
"And this... this is for Rei," Kai snarled as the gunshot echoed around the alley. Kai unfazed grabbed his dead enemies arm and dragged the body to where Tala lay. Kai sighed and let go of Bryan's arm before bending down and picking Tala up into his arms, he deserved better than to be left to rot in the streets.
