A/N - Umm...I don't have much to say. I did havea really great dream for a future chapter a few days ago but ha, I can't share it because it'll be spoiling things.
Youko Kara- Thanks for the review. It really depends on whether Yami lives or not if there will be more SetoxYami in the future ::grin::
chibi atemu - Thank you as always. Hopefully updates will come faster now that it's a new semsister of school and I don't have much work at the moment.
Phoenix87- One of those two people are right. You should know after this chapter.
Pysche- ::hugs:: Stupid person leaving you reviews. They need to mind their own business. You're actually wrong in your guess this time. Way wrong. But you were back on track earlier tonight. ::grins::
Dragon - Hehe, yup, Yami always has to be the hero.
The following takes place between 4pm and 5pm
4:00PM
Eyeing Malik from across the room, Rebecca typed away on her own computer. She had been ordered to keep an eye on the blonde hacker but she also had her own work to do which was a nuisance, as she knew that Malik was up to something but her work kept her from figuring out what it was.
4:05PM
The expensive private plane landed at a remote airfield an hour from LA. Its two passengers easily strolled down the stairs from the plane and walked over to the limo, which had been waiting for them a few feet away.
"What about the boy?" the taller of the two tanned men, who was bald except for a long black ponytail, asked blonde haired companion.
"He's our guest," the other one reminded with a smirk on his face. "It's not our fault he fell asleep before our trip here began. See too it that he arrives in one piece at the safe house."
With that, the blonde smoothly slid into the back of the limo while his companion marched back to the plane. A few minutes later, the bald one returned carrying a small person in his arms. The bald one then joined his blond friend in the limo after placing the person in his arms on a vacant seat.
"Still asleep eh? Such a tired little guest our friend is."
"He'll be awake soon," the bald one replied.
"Good, we won't be able to have our fun if he's asleep the entire time."
Ending the conversation, the blond leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes as the limo began pulling away from the airfield.
4:13PM
"What are we doing here?" Otogi asked while Yami parked the SUV down the street from the warehouse that Shada owned.
"I'm going to check out that warehouse, you stay here," Yami ordered him as he opened the door and stepped out of the vehicle. Yami pulled out his gun and checked it before turning his glaze back to the warehouse.
"But I want to help!" Otogi protested.
"No! Stay here and wait Jounouchi arrives with the task force!"
Marching off, Yami ducked down an alley and made his way stealthily towards the warehouse. It wasn't long before the agent reached a rusted door at the side of the building.
Inspecting underneath the door and its sides, Yami determined that the door was not booby trapped in any way. The spiky haired agent touched the doorknob for a brief second before grasping and violently turning it. The door however was locked and refused to budge.
A lock door however was nothing that Yami couldn't handle. From his pocket he pulled out at small lock pick kit he always carried with him before turning his attention back to the doorknob. A few seconds later he heard a click as the door unlocked allowing Yami to push the door fully open.
The area behind the door was a long blacken hallway, lit by only the odd light bulb hanging from the tall ceiling. Having not much choice, Yami slunk along the hallway, hoping to find something soon.
4:18PM
Otogi grumbled as he shifted in his seat and looked at his watch for the tenth time since Yami had left only a few minutes earlier.
Making his decision, Otogi opened his door and began making his way towards the warehouse. He had watched Yami and knew enough to copy the more experienced agent's moves.
Within minutes Otogi had reached the door to the warehouse that Yami had previously gone into. Pulling out his gun, Otogi pushed the door open and went inside to catch up with the other agent.
4:24PM
Isis' head snapped to her left as she stared down the dark hallway. She had thought she had heard something.
"Someone's here," she warned the others as she pulled out her gun. The three males copied her movement and pulled out their guns as well.
"Karim, go check it out," Shada ordered and the big muscled men hurried off.
"I'll go with him," Isis added as she followed Karim.
4:28PM
Otogi paused his steps as he listened to his surroundings. He could have sworn he heard something.
Shrugging his shoulders Otogi continued down the hallway. He had passed various hallways connecting to the one he was walking down but he decided that for the time being he would keep heading straight ahead.
Less then a minute passed before Otogi was stopping again. This time he knew he heard something.
Fortunately for him, the hallway was littered with boxes and other debris.
Ducking behind a pile of boxes, Otogi held his breath as he waited.
"It's somewhere around here," a female voice said.
"It was probably a rat or something," another voice, this time male replied.
"I guess."
Otogi sensed the pair move away and he began to slightly sigh with relief when his cell phone suddenly went off.
"Isis!" the male voice cried as shots began firing in Otogi's direction.
Dodging the bullets, Otogi fired back with his own gun.
"Karim!" the woman cried and in the dim lighting Otogi saw he had hit the male of the two individuals. The male was now lying on his back with a pool of blood around him.
Turing his attention to the female, Otogi had little time to react before the woman hit him in the shoulder.
As the bullet ripped through his flesh, Otogi dropped his gun as he yelped in pain. Dropping to the ground to retrieve his gun, Otogi heard a click and he looked up to find the woman looming over him with his gun pressed to his temple.
"Get up," she demanded and Otogi had little choice but to listen to her.
Getting to his feet, Otogi stood back as the woman picked up his gun, while still keeping hers aimed at him. With a motion of her own gun, Otogi began walking down the hallway with the woman following at a close distance behind him.
It didn't take them long to reach a large open room where two other men were waiting.
"Where is Karim?" the bald man asked.
"He's dead Shada," the woman replied as she nudged Otogi's back, pushing him forward until he was standing in the middle of the room surrounding by the others. "Now we just have to figure out who this one is and what is he doing here?"
"I'll never talk."
"You better do what you're told," the burnet man said while crossing his arms. "Isis is very difficult to deal with when she's in a bad mood."
"You're Mahado," Otogi hissed. A year ago, Otogi had been working in Washington for CTU and had only transferred out to LA five months ago. Therefore he only knew the traitor through word of mouth.
"He's CTU!" the one called Shada declared knowing that only someone from that organization would know who Mahado was and upset over Karim's death. Once again Otogi found her gun pointed to his temple.
"Isis, don't!" Mahado protested. "He might know something useful!"
"Kill the bastard," Isis argued..
Not knowing what to expect, Otogi closed his eyes and waited for what would happen.
4:46PM
One hallway led to another, and there was another one after that. Soon Yami found himself walking up flight of stairs before wandering down another hallway.
Yami wasn't stupid. He had his gun ready to take out anyone he found but thus far it appeared, as the warehouse was empty. The spiky haired agent was about to head back to Otogi and wait for the task force when he could make out voices coming from somewhere down the hall.
Creeping forward more cautiously now, it wasn't long before Yami reached a catwalk. From his hiding place in the hallway, Yami could barely make out the ground floor of the warehouse but he could tell that at least two individuals were surrounding another one.
Yami heard a loud bang and the person in the middle slumped to the ground. It was then that Yami saw the black hair of the now dead man and recognized his clothing as the same that Otogi had been wearing.
On his stomach, crawled out onto the catwalk and peaked over the edge. From his knew spot; he could clearly make out the two individuals as Shada and Mahado.
Making his decision, Yami pointed his gun down towards the two men. Unfortunately from his angle he didn't have a clear shot of Mahado but he did of Shada.
Pressing the trigger of gun, a bullet flew from it and struck Shada in his head before the bald arms dealer knew what had happened. Yami then gracefully dropped down to the first level and had his gun pointed at Mahado before the burnet could react.
"Yami!"
"Murderer!" Yami hissed as he advanced upon his former partner. It was then Yami felt something heavy hit the back of his head and he fell forward to the ground.
Rolling on his back, Yami stared up at the face of Isis who had hit him with the butt of her gun. With a sick smile on her face she then pointed the weapon down at Yami.
"Goodbye Yami Mutou," Isis whispered as she began pressing the trigger.
Seconds later a loud bang was heard throughout the room.
5:00PM
