Chapter 10
"Kyle, nice to meet you." Kayla extended a hand, I looked at it then realized I was suppose to shake it. Her touch was warm and a bit comforting, but reaching for it made my shoulder feel like it was ripping.
I tried to hold the pain at bay, but I fainted. A small sensation on my arm, I think it was Kayla's cat.
"He must be tired, come on Lucky, let's leave him alone. Besides I gotta talk to dad about all the guards here, so annoying." Kayla left with her cat and I kept sleeping.
"What the fuck happened?!" Matt yelled, "Where's Danny?!"
"Stop yelling," Julie said quietly, "He fell ok?"
"What the hell does that mean?" Matt's rage calmed a little, "Just tell me what happened." Matt sighed and sat down.
"He was climbing the wall and a cat jumped at him, then the owner opened the window, causing him to fall." Julie sat down too. "What are we gonna tell Christy? Where is she anyways?"
"Out...buying something for Danny I think." Matt's face was completely white, ran his hand through his hair. "What was he like when you left?"
"Unconscious on the ground." Julie put her equipment down on the coffee table between her and Matt, then she looked into his eyes, they were scared, she saw her own eyes in his. She was scared too. "We have to Christy the truth."
"Yeah, I think I'll tell her, it's my job."
"No, we'll both do it."
"Hey sleepy head, dinner time." A voice cut through the fog and I slowly opened one of my eyes, the light hurt by head and I closed my eye again.
She shook my arm slowly, "Hey come on you have to eat something, I made this for you."
I opened on eye again, and I saw a cat talking to me...damn I was messed up. The cat wanted me to eat...the cat wanted me to wake up, what the hell? Oh right, I moved the cat off my chest with my right arm and saw Kayla. "I dun wanna eat...let me sleep...good night."
"Come on, don't make me use Lucky." She shook me arm again but I refused to get up. "Ok, Lucky get him."
The cat jumped at my face and scratched my left cheek. I sat up quickly and shoved him off me, "God DAMMIT! Please don't do that again." I wiped the blood off with my shirt sleeve.
"You left me no choice." Kayla laughed and Lucky hissed at me. "Good girl," she scratched Lucky's head. How ironic, Lucky was a black Persian, damn Lucky...her claws were sharp.
"Alright fine, I'll eat." I took the plate from her, some meat, vegetables, and rice. Oh well, didn't expect much anyways. "Thanks for helping me."
"No problem." She smiled, that smile seems familiar, where have I seen it before? "So tell me about your self."
"What do you want to know?" I searched my mind for some answers I can give her, or at least give myself, but I came up blank. "Actually I don't know much about myself either."
"Well that sucks." She looked disappointed, and I felt bad, but I can't help it. I really couldn't remember anything. "Well, my dad knows you're here so I guess we should go see him after you finish."
"I'm done." I handed her an empty plate back, I looked down at the ground for a sec, Lucky was looked up and did a cat smile, then went back to her/my food, she and I were starting to become friends.
"Hey guys, I'm back." Christy announced as she walked through the door. It was already after dinnertime. "Hey look at this, I got a new sweater for Danny. Guys? Matt, Julie, Danny?"
"In here," Matt called from the den. "We have something to tell you."
Christy sat down across from Matt and Julie, "Where's Danny?"
"That's the thing we want to tell you about." Matt sighed. "Alright I guess I'll start."
Christy looked worried and put the sweater down, and Matt started. "This morning Julie and Danny went to Chan's mansion to try to kill him, during the mission, a mishap caused Danny to fall from three stories up, and when Julie last saw him, he was unconscious."
"What...? How come you didn't help him?" Christy looked at Julie accusingly. "Why did you just leave him?!" Christy started crying now.
"I tried, but I couldn't." Julie said softly trying to comfort Christy. "I really tried"
"How come you didn't tell me about this mission?" This time her glare was on Matt.
"Because if you knew, you would've tried to stop Danny from going." Matt sighed, "And I guess this wouldn't have happened if he didn't go."
"Yeah, it wouldn't have! So why didn't you tell me? Never mind, I don't care what your reasons are; you never explain them to me anyways. You just use us as tools to do what ever you want." Christy stood up and left, she ran up to her room and slammed her door.
"Well," Matt sighed again. "That went...well?"
"I guess." Julie went to her room too.
"Why do I feel like an asshole?" Matt asked the ceiling, later he asked the same question to six glasses of wine.
"Here he is dad. His name's Kyle." Kayla led me into the living room where her dad was pealing an apple.
"Kyle is it?" The man eyes me over, he seemed to recognize me, but maybe that was just my paranoia. All of a sudden he flicked his fruit knife at me.
I moved quickly to the side and caught it between two fingers. I moved back into my previous position and looked at my hand, they weren't shaking, no adrenaline had been released into my body, I was calm, as if I did that often. Now I really wanted some questions answered, who the hell am I?
"Hey, what did you do that for?!" Kayla was freaking out beside me.
"It's alright, I'm ok." I said to Kayla and she calmed down a bit, but I could tell she was still furious at her dad.
"So, tell me Kyle who are you?" I tossed the knife back to her dad, and he caught it with a swift snap and went back to pealing his apple. "Where are you from?"
"I don't remember sir."
"You don't remember." He took a bite of his apple. "Well, maybe you'll remember after a while, for now you're welcome to stay with us."
"Thank you sir."
"Kayla, you can go now, I have some things to say to Kyle," The man said.
"Fine, just don't kill him ok?" Kayla took Lucky with her back to her room, an I waited for the man to say his next words.
"I'm Christopher Chan, Mr. Chan to you, and I have a business proposition for you." I was interested.
"What's this proposition? Mr. Chan." I didn't completely trust him but for now I must do what he says.
"You work for me, and I help you uncover some of your abilities and maybe even your past."
"It's a deal." We shook hands like equals but his grip was much stronger than mine, and there was something about his eyes that made me think twice about what was happening.
