Chapter 12

On one end of the scale is my curiosity, I want to find out just who my target is and I have a feeling we are connected in a way. On the other end of the scale is my trust, do I trust Chan and just do my job, kill my target and believe that I am the Fallen Saint? My curiosity outweighs the trust by far.

I set up in a tree, the foliage gave me cover from their eyes, but it also blocked my line of sight. It's a double edge sword, but my edge was sharper. I carefully poked the scope out of the leaves and looked through it. I panned it around, looking into all the windows, most of them had shades on. I switched on my infra red vision and zoomed in with my scope, the infra red heat sensor was strong enough for me to see three bodies inside.

I looked for one that was male, and luckily there was only one, so it must be my target. Now that I locked on to him, I'd have to wait till I get a clear shot. I sat down on the branch and cringed when it cracked. Oh shit, I carefully shifted my weight nearer to the trunk. I looked through my scope again, making sure no one heard me. I saw the male still sitting with a female, but where's the other one…? I scanned the entire house but couldn't see her, something was wrong.

A twig snapped behind me and that was the last sound I heard before I felt the pain in the left side of my head. I blacked out shortly after, felt like a pistol whip…

"What was he doing up there?"

"I don't know. I heard a sound then got out of the house as fast as I could. Found him up in that tree. Didn't see who he was till he fell off the tree."

"He's got a sniper rifle…what the hell is going on? You think Chan sent him to kill us?"

"Probably."

"Danny…wake up"

I saw Kyle fall off the tree he was in and I felt fear. I shouldn't have followed him here, but for some reason I couldn't let him go alone. There were three people around him, I think it's two girls and one guy. I slowly approached them while hiding in the shadows. I took out my gun and held it loosely at my side. I could feel my hands shaking and I doubt I could shoot straight. The truth is, I had never fired a gun in my life.

"Wait." Julie whispered, "Behind us"

Matt stood up and slowly walked towards where Julie pointed to. When he was close enough he dashed to the side and an instant later a shot went off. Then he jumped into the bush and came out holding a girl in his right hand, and her gun in his left.

"Who are you?" Matt asked. He tossed the gun to Julie who put it away into her belt.

"That's none of your business." The girl struggled out of Matt's grip and ran to Danny.

Oh man…that kinda hurt, my head…I opened one eye and saw two girls, both of them looked familiar…

"Danny." The left one yelled. "Are you ok?"

"Kyle." The right one yelled. "Are you hurt?"

Wait a second…two girls…Christy on the left…Kayla on the right…oh…shit…

"Wait, who are you?" Christy turned to Kayla.

"I'm his girlfriend. Who are you?"

"No…I'm his girlfriend." Christy turned back to me. "Danny what's going on?"

"His name is Kyle." Kayla said. "Right? Kyle?"

This can't be good. I know, I'll just pretend to be unconscious again. "Hey look lots of colors…I feel dizzy…I'm fainting…" Then I closed my eyes and dropped my head.

Meanwhile Matt and Julie watched from a bit off. They both looked amused as both girls grabbed me and tried to shake me awake.

"Hey, I'm not done with you yet!" Christy yelled in my left ear.

"Get up, you got a lot of explaining to do!" Kayla yelled in my right ear.

"Who is she?!!!" They yelled together, it was like surround sound. This is not going to be pleasant…Oh well, might as well get it over with.

I stood up and went inside, "Come on in, it's getting cold out, I'll explain inside." Both girls ran in and pinned me down. Matt and Julie walked in laughing and they went upstairs.

"Hey wait, don't leave me with these two, Matt come back, save your baby brother, Please, they'll kill me. Julie? Help? Come on help me out here." I tried to breath with both Christy and Kayla on top of me, every breath was a struggle.

"Sorry bro, this is your problem, after you're done hear, you can explain what you were doing up in that tree." Matt left with Julie.

"Ok, start talking."

"Or we start hurting you."

I yelped as one of them kicked my shin. "Can't we all just get along…?"

"NO!" Surround sound again.

"First of all who is she?" Christy asked.

"She's my friend. OW Kayla. I mean she's my girlfriend. OW Christy just give me a chance to explain." This is so cruel, how could Matt just leave me here? I'll get him back for this.

"What your real name?" Kayla asked.

"It's Danny. OW Kayla, I really didn't remember when I met you, stop hurting me. Please!" This is worse than being shot, maybe these two should consider jobs as torturers.

"So you're saying you had amnesia?" Christy asked.

"Yes! I fell off the wall when Kayla opened her window. And I got my memory back when Julie pistol whipped me. OW Kayla there's nothing between me and Julie. OW Christy what was that for?!"

"I just felt like it." Christy stood up and got off of me.

Now just Kayla was on top of me, so much easier to breath. There's a big difference between two hundred and seventy pounds and one hundred and thirty-five.

"Who is she?" Kayla asked.

"She's my girlfriend, and before you hurt me let me just say that she was before I met you." Christy jumped back on me. "OW Christy I didn't mean it in that way, please I'm sorry this is painful, please mercy come on, please!"

Upstairs Matt and Julie were watching a movie, Matt was eating popcorn and Julie was lying down leaning against Matt.

"So, you think we should help him?" Matt asked.

"Naw, I think if we closed the door we wouldn't hear him yell." Julie said, she reached for some popcorn.

"Well, I don't wanna get up and close the door. Why don't you do it?" Matt ate another handful of popcorn.

"No thanks, I'm comfortable like this." Julie kissed Matt and they forgot about Danny.

"Look there's a good rea- OW a good reason for all thi- OW, all this, if only you two would OW stop hurting me so much OW I could expl- Ow explain this to you two. And get off of me, you two are heavy!"

"Did he just call us fat?" Kayla asked.

"I think he did just call us fat." Christy said.

"Let's hurt him." Kayla raised a fist.

"Definitely." Christy got ready to kick.

"Un…girls…please don't…do this to me. OW Come on stop OW ok that was a cheap shot OW ok not there OW wait OW please don't hurt me anymore OW I said I'm sorry OW ok that was just wrong OW and that one was cruel OW hey whoa that's sacred area you're kicking. OW hey no more OW ok I think I'm sterile OW no more kids for you OW sorry! I was just kidding OW ok stop OW seriously that's enough OW I'm running out of things to say here. OW…"

"Getting loud down there." Matt said.

"Concentrate on what's up here." Julie said.
