Infiltrating Datadyne part 3 (the last one, finally!)
Jonathan and Herbert went out from the cell. They were automatically intercepted by a guard that was running in the corridor.
"Mr Wallace! I was in the washroom when a guard told me he was searching for you. He told me that the girl we took in hostage escaped her cell by the air conduct!", exclaimed the guard.
Jonathan looked at the guard without any reaction. After a discreet elbow kick from Herbert, Jonathan finally answered.
"You fool! I already knew that she escaped! There're a lot of guards searching for her right now. This won't take long before we'll find her. Now return to your post before I pull out your eyes from your orbit AND GIVE THEM AS FOOD TO THE DOGS!", retorted Jonathan with a frustrated tone.
"Yes Mr Wallace. Sorry Mr Wallace", said the guard as he left almost in a run.
Herbert and Jonathan looked at the guard that was running to return to his post.
"That was pretty alike the real Jeffrey but the real one had a British accent and you didn't had any", commented Herbert.
"Do you really think those guards are all stupid enough to think that I'm Jeffrey", asked Jonathan with a puzzled tone.
"Even for someone that isn't stupid, the difference between you and him isn't very big. There're only two things that differentiate you from him: the way to talk and the personality. If you change those two things, I'm sure you can trick almost everyone", answered Herbert.
"I suppose that it's a good thing. It will be easier for us to find the people we're searching for", replied Jonathan.
"Yeah but I don't think we should speak out loud like this in front of the cameras", Herbert says as he saw a camera.
"No risk, we asked a hacker to shut down the camera system. It's very strange, no one seemed to notice…", replied Jonathan.
"The guards that are watching what's happening on the camera are probably sleeping", guessed Herbert.
"That isn't surprising at all…Do you have an idea where Samantha could be?", asked Jonathan.
"I don't know…in Cassandra's office I guess", suggested Herbert.
"Fine…let's go to her office then", replied Jonathan.
……………………………………………………………..
Joanna was literally coughing. The toxic gas was completely unbearable. She cursed to herself; they probably knew she was in the air conduct. She tried to find netting she could smash down to leave the air conduct but they were all sealed. She began to panic, how was she going to get out from here? She continued to search but it wasn't a success. She began to feel dizzy. She finally found netting that was sealed. She kicked it and left the air conduct full of toxic gas. Unfortunately for her, five guards with oxygen mask were pointing their guns at her. It was a trap…again…
………………………………………………………………
Jonathan and Herbert went out from the elevator. They were now on the floor of Cassandra's office. Jonathan told to all the guards of this floor, with his 'nice' Jeffrey tone, to go in the area C-2 to search for Joanna. The floor was easily emptied from all his guards.
"I didn't knew there was a C-2 area here", commented Herbert.
"I didn't knew either", replied Jonathan with a grin.
They arrived in front of Cassandra De Vries' office. Herbert and Jonathan exchanged look.
"How are we going to enter here? It's almost sure Cassandra is in there?", asked Jonathan in a whisper.
"We don't have any other choices. You must do like you were the real Jeffrey and I'll do like I was a guard", murmured Herbert.
"Are you crazy! She'll recognize me!", replied Jonathan.
"If she makes trouble, I'll personally take care of her", retorted Herbert as he reloaded the CMP-150 he stole to a guard.
"…Fine…"
Jonathan knocked to the door. No one answered.
"Cassandra! This is Jeffrey! Open this door!", exclaimed Jonathan.
The door was opened but not by the person Herbert and Jonathan expected to see. It was a guard with a relieved look.
"I'm glad you came!", said the guard as he let Jonathan and Herbert enter.
Jonathan hid his surprised look when he saw that Samantha and Carrington were in Cassandra's office. Cassandra wasn't there. Jonathan looked at the guard with an angered look.
"Where is Cassandra De Vries?!", asked Jonathan with an angry tone.
"I don't know! She told me to guard those two people and to not let any unknown person enter the office", answered the guard.
"I see…", replied Jonathan with a calmer tone.
"I know you're probably not going to be happy but I have a favour to ask you. Can you replace me for a while? I really need to go to the bathroom and there isn't any in this office", asked the guard with a begging tone.
Jonathan almost laughed at the request of the guard. He quickly regained his composure.
"Yes, you can go…and…take your time", answered Jonathan.
"Thanks a lot Mr Wallace", replied the guard as he left the office.
The guard closed the door behind him. Jonathan and Herbert exchanged glances and began to laugh out loud. Samantha began to laugh with them for an unknown reason and Carrington looked at them with a confused tone.
"What is so funny?", asked Carrington.
"Those guards are so stupid! This is just too easy!", exclaimed Jonathan.
Jonathan and Herbert regained their composure. Herbert went to talk to Samantha. Jonathan just looked at Carrington with a surprised look.
"Mr Carrington…Is…is that really you?", asked Jonathan.
"Yes it is. Why are you asking me such questions? We saw each other yesterday and you tried to convince me Datadyne wasn't evil anymore", questioned Carrington with a puzzled tone.
"It wasn't me, it was an impostor", answered Jonathan as he untied Carrington.
"An impostor? Well…this explains why Jonathan was so different from he usually was…but I'm not sure if I should trust you. Can you tell me something that would guarantee that you are the real Jonathan?", asked Carrington.
"Datadyne sucks", Jonathan said with a grin.
"Fine, I trust you", replied Carrington with a smile.
"We're better leaving this place very quickly. It's a chance Cassandra wasn't there", Jonathan with a more serious tone.
…………………………………………………………………
Joanna was brought, again, to a cell. Jeffrey was in the cell, waiting for her, with his trademark smirk.
"Welcome back, miss Dark. Did you make a nice walk in the air conduct?", asked Jeffrey.
"…You…bastard…", retorted Joanna.
"I think you would like to spend some time, again, with some guards to calm you down", replied Jeffrey with a grin.
Joanna looked at him with a scared look. This time, she preferred to just shut up.
…………………………………………………………………..
"We must absolutely find where Joanna is!", exclaimed Velvet.
"She's probably detained in a special area where there are only cells", commented James.
"How can you be so sure there's an area like this here?", asked Velvet.
"I already infiltrated Datadyne in US a few times and there was an area like this. We just have to find where it is in this new building", replied James.
"How are we going to do to find the location of this place?", asked Velvet.
"We just have to interrogate a guard. With a gun on the temple, they truly have big mouths", answered James.
…………………………………………………………………
"Joanna is being kept somewhere in this building?", asked Carrington.
"No, I think that she was able to escape her cell shortly after I left her", answered Jonathan.
"I'm sad to tell you that she was captured again. A few minutes before you arrived, Cassandra received a call from one of her employee saying that the 'girl' was easily captured. They were probably talking about Joanna. Shortly after, Cassandra received a message from another from her employee and left her office. I thought that you had more information about Joanna's location than me, but it seems that it's not the case", replied Carrington.
"Shit…Poor Joanna, she's probably bored to always get captured…", commented Jonathan
" Were you crazy enough to go here alone?", asked Carrington.
"Of course not! Two other agents were with me but I cannot contact them anymore; Jeffrey took my CI communicator!", exclaimed Jonathan.
" You probably came here with a ship. Is it near of this building?", Carrington questioned.
" I guess so", responded Jonathan.
"Fine, we can try something. You stay here and the three of us will go in the ship. The only problem is how are we going to get there…", replied Carrington.
"I think I know how we could leave… I know this building well enough to be able to find the way to the helipad", said Herbert.
"Are you sure of what you're saying?", asked Carrington.
"Yes"
"Then we can go on the helipad. If the ship is near Datadyne's building, the people in it will be able to see us. ", said Carrington.
"And what should I do? Maybe that James and Velvet already rescued Joanna", asked Jonathan.
"I don't think so… Joanna is probably kept in a place where the security is very high. It would take them a while to find a way to rescue her. When we will be in the ship, we'll communicate with them and tell them to leave the building. It will be your job to rescue her", answered Carrington.
"…I guess it'll work…but…Why don't we let Velvet and James do the job?", asked Jonathan.
"Because you have an advantage they don't have. You can access every area you want without hiding yourself. Those stupid guards think that you're their boss. That means your job is like an undercover mission…and in those kind of mission, I know you're unbeatable", answered Carrington with a smile.
Jonathan didn't answered. He wasn't sure if he should be happy or even more worried by what was coming. Wasn't James supposed to be as good as him?
"I'm counting on you Jonathan. Don't disappoint me", Carrington said as he left with Herbert and Samantha.
Jonathan looked at them leave. After a minute, he left Cassandra's office with the same frustrated gaze, like nothing had happened…
…………………………………………………………………..
Joanna looked at Jeffrey with an unreadable look. She made an effort to not shot him a glare because she knew that just a simple thing could easily get him angry.
"Guards, you can do what you want with her, I have more important business to do than to torture her", Jeffrey said with a bored tone.
Jeffrey left the cell and went in the 'torture' room where Jonathan was supposed to be detained. As he was walking, he was very surprised by who he saw. Will was guarding a room and yawning, almost like he was falling asleep on his feet.
"HEY WILL! YOU STUPID! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!! I TOLD YOU TO GUARD THE PRISONNER!", yelled Jeffrey.
"But…b-but a guard I've never saw before told me you had contacted him and told him to replace me", replied Will with the fear of being killed in the next second.
"…You…fool…I NEVER SENT YOU ANY MESSAGE!!!!!!!! IT WAS A BOOBY TRAP AND YOU WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL IN IT!!!! HOW COULD I TRUST ANY OF THOSE STUPID FOOLS CALLED THE DATADYNE GUARDS!!!!!", shouted Jeffrey that was under the control of his rage.
"…I'm…I'm sorry Mr Wallace", whispered the guard that was presently peeing in his pants.
Jeffrey punched him hard in the face and took the CMP-150 of the guard with him. He also took out his DY-357 magnum. The enraged man was running in Datadyne's corridors with a CMP-150 and his DY-357 magnum at the same time…
……………………………………………………………………….
Joanna looked at the guards with a horrified look. One of the guards approached her with a smirk. Joanna couldn't retain a shout of fear. Luckily for her, her saviours heard her. Before the guard could put one of his dirty hands on her, Velvet and James smashed the door of the cell. Velvet killed the guard that was too near Joanna and James killed the others.
"Joanna! Are you alright?", asked Velvet worriedly.
" I guess so…Where is Jonathan?", asked Joanna.
"We don't know…probably captured. We're better leave before the red alert rings again", answered James with an unconcerned tone.
"WHAT! But we cannot let Jonathan here! They'll kill him!", exclaimed Joanna.
"I don't want to hurt you but if he's captured, he's probably already dead", replied James.
Before Joanna could reply anything, Velvet's communicator beeped. She took it and answered.
"Velvet, this is Carrington", said Carrington through the communicator.
"CARRIGTON?!", asked Velvet with an extremely surprised tone.
"Yes, it's me. No time to explain. You and James must leave this place. I told Jonathan to rescue Joanna", answered Carrington.
"Too late, we already found Joanna", answered James as he took Velvet's communicator.
"James? James Dark? Is that really you?", asked Carrington with a surprised tone.
"Yes, it's me", replied James.
"Damn…if only I knew that the James Jonathan talked to me about was you, I wouldn't have sent him to rescue Joanna", commented Carrington.
" Tell him to leave too. I tried to contact him but he didn't answered", replied James.
"It's because his CI communicator was stolen. I really don't how I could tell him to come…", Carrington said with a worried tone.
" Do you know what you are going to do?", asked James.
"…No…we can only pray for his safety", Carrington answered.
………………………………………………………………………………….
Jeffrey finally arrived to the last place he saw Jonathan. He wasn't surprised to see that he wasn't there. The guard Will talked to him about was probably one of his allies…
"…Damnit…", Jeffrey murmured.
He suddenly heard someone coming from behind him. Before he had the time to see who was this person, he felt a gun on his back.
"Hi twinnie", Jonathan said with an ironical tone
Jeffrey didn't answered.
"I suggest you to put your guns on the grounds", said Jonathan with a cold tone.
Jeffrey let his guns fall on the floor. Jonathan took the two guns and pointed them at brother. Jeffrey looked at him with a scandalized gaze.
"What do that mean?! You didn't had any guns?", asked Jeffrey.
"Nope, you were very stupid to think that two of my fingers were a real gun", commented Jonathan with a grin.
"…You…fucking sod…", whispered Jeffrey.
" I would like to know where Joanna is. If you tell me, maybe that I'll be nice enough to let you alive", said Jonathan.
The red alert suddenly began to ring again. Jeffrey's communicator rang shortly after.
"Open your communicator", ordered Jonathan.
Jeffrey opened his communicator. It was the voice of a panicked guard.
"Mr Wallace! It's the girl! She escaped again! This time, it was two of her allies that came to save her! What are we going to do?!", asked the guard with a panicked tone.
Jonathan's eyes grew wide. There was his chance. He could escape too but he wondered how he could do this with his injured foot. Jonathan wasn't limping anymore since the doctor of Datadyne treated his wounds but he doubted he could run very quickly. Jeffrey read Jonathan's mind and smirked. He knew that if Jonathan didn't arrive on time at the meet point he gave himself with his allies that he was going to be stuck here. Jonathan was completely caught off guard by Jeffrey's move. Jeffrey rolled on his back and kicked Jonathan's injured foot. Jonathan fell on the floor. Jeffrey quickly disarmed Jonathan. The weapons fell from Jonathan's hands. Jon knew what was going to happen if he didn't do anything so he kicked the two weapons with one of his feet. The two weapons slid on the floor. Jeffrey tried to stand up to take the weapons but Jonathan caught one of Jeffrey's legs to make him fall. Jeffrey also fell on the floor. Jonathan crawled to try to reach for the weapons.
"YOU BASTARD!!!! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE THIS ROOM ALIVE!!!!", yelled Jeffrey.
Jeffrey stood up and took Jonathan by the collar before he had the time to reach for the weapons. He held Jonathan and threw him on the wall. Jon fell on the floor, half knock out. He quickly regained all his consciousness but he was kicked in the ribs by Jeffrey. Jon retained a cry a pain and hardly, but quickly stood up. Jeffrey tried to punch him but Jonathan avoided it. Jon quickly caught Jeffrey's neck and tried to strangle him. Jeffrey stopped him with a low kick. Jonathan cried in pain and shot a glare to Jeffrey.
"Only the cowards dare to do low kicks", Jonathan said angrily.
Jeffrey tried to take the guns but Jonathan jumped on him. They fell on the floor, again. Jonathan held Jeffrey's neck with one of his arm. Jon was surprised that Jeffrey didn't take one of the guns; they were just in front of him. As Jeffrey tried to get out of Jonathan's grasp, Jon took one of the guns (the magnum of course) and pointed it on Jeffrey's head. Jeffrey stopped to move.
"What are you waiting at?! Go ahead, kill me!", exclaimed Jeffrey.
Jonathan didn't moved. He didn't knew why, something was prevented him to kill Jeffrey. He didn't understand why…just a little move from his index and everything was finished. Jonathan was sure that if he kills him right now, he was going to regret it. Jon took the grip of his magnum and punched hardly Jeffrey's head with it. He was knocked out by the punch. Jonathan quickly stood up and ran the quickest he could, hoping that his friends would wait for him.
……………………………………………………………………….
Joanna, Velvet and James arrived on the helipad. Their ship quickly came and they entered in it. Nathaniel greeted them.
"Hey you're finally back! Huh…where's Jonathan?", asked Nathaniel
"He's inside", answered Joanna with an extremely pained tone.
" We don't have any other choices…we must leave. Anyway we cannot contact him, he lost his CI communicator", commanded James.
Nathaniel looked at him with a shocked gaze. Joanna shot a glare to her father.
"Maybe that we should wait for him a little bit. We never know, maybe that he learned that you rescued Joanna", suggested Carrington.
………………………………………………………………………..
Jonathan began to be tired. He ran during a long period of time and he was exhausted. Even if he had difficulty to breath, he continued to run. His life was depending on how fast he will be able to reach the helipad. He finally reached for the elevator. He pushed on the button of the highest floor.
………………………………………………………………………..
In the ship, a few minutes later
"It's too long, we cannot wait for him anymore", said James.
"No!!! We must wait a last minute", begged Joanna.
"James is right. We waited for him and he didn't come. We cannot do anything else. No one is in a condition good enough to go inside and check for him", replied Carrington.
"Just a last minute", whispered Joanna with a desperate tone.
………………………………………………………………………….
Jonathan finally arrived at the highest floor. He knew that the last room he had to go was going to contain a lot of guards. He didn't have any time to think about a good idea to get rid of them easily. He took a deep breath, opened the door and ran the quickest he could to the stairs. A few guards tried to shoot at him. Jonathan killed the guards that stood in his way. Luckily, he wasn't hit by any of the bullets. He was able to go upstairs without any injuries. He opened the door that brought him outside. He heard someone ran behind him. He didn't take the time to look at who it was and ran again to reach the helipad.
"DON'T RUN LIKE THAT YOU BASTARD!!!", shouted Jeffrey that was running behind Jonathan.
Jonathan didn't answered and climbed the last stairs. Jon saw the ship get off the ground. He climbed the last stair and ran on the helipad.
"HEY!!!! DON'T LEAVE LIKE THIS!!!! WAIT FOR ME", yelled Jonathan.
………………………………………………………………………….
A tear ran down Joanna's cheek. The ship got off the ground. Joanna took a last look at Datadyne's building through the small window. She was surprised by what she saw.
"Wait! WAIT!!! JONATHAN IS ON THE HELIPAD! YOU MUST LAND, HE'S YELLED AT US TO WAIT FOR HIM", Joanna shouted.
The ship went down a little bit and the door opened. Joanna threw a ladder made of rope to Jonathan. Jon took it and began to climb. Meanwhile, Jeffrey arrived on the helipad. The ship went up a bit to avoid Jeffrey to climb the ladder too. Jeffrey looked at Jonathan with an angered look. He took out a kind of weird gun and aimed at Jonathan. Joanna saw what Jeffrey had the intention to do and she knew she couldn't shoot at him; he was too far. She would need a sniper to shoot at him. Jo asked for help and everyone from the ship came and pulled up the ladder, it will be quicker like this. Jeffrey reloaded his strange gun and shot at Jonathan. Jon was hit in the arm but he wasn't feeling a lot of pain. He was finally able to enter the ship and they left Datadyne corp. at an incredible speed. Jeffrey smirked as he looked at them leave.
…………………………………………………………………………….
Joanna threw herself in Jonathan's arms and embraced him. Jon hugged her back with a slight smile.
"Jon, do you realize how lucky you are?!", asked Joanna with a slightly angry tone.
"…Yes, I know", answered Jonathan with a smile.
"No you don't understand a bloody thing! You could have been killed, tortured…"
"Shhh, it's gonna be fine Jo. It's finished. There isn't any reasons to talk about this anymore", whispered Jonathan.
Jonathan gently caressed her cheek. Joanna looked at Jonathan and kissed him tenderly. Carrington looked at them with a dazed gaze. Nathaniel grinned at Carrington.
"I think there're some things we need to talk to you about!", exclaimed Nathaniel.
He brought Carrington aloofly with him. Everyone left Joanna and Jonathan alone.
After the kiss broke, they sat on the floor, the back against the wall. Joanna leaned her head on Jonathan's chest. He quietly stroked her hair.
"…Jon…", murmured Joanna.
"…Yeah…"
" You'll never hurt me like them…aren't you?", asked Joanna.
"…Never Joanna…I'll never try to hurt you in any way", answered Jonathan.
" I glad to hear you say that", replied Joanna.
"…I want to apologize Jo. That's all my fault", whispered Jonathan.
" Apologize? For what?", asked Joanna.
"I shouldn't have cared about this message they sent to us", explained Jonathan.
"At least you get what you wanted; your freedom", replied Joanna.
" Maybe but you don't have yours. Did you already forget the couple of guards you killed to make me go out of prison?", asked Jonathan.
"We shouldn't worry with this anymore. Now that Carrington is back, he'll be able to make forget this crime to the authority", answered Joanna.
"Do you think it will be that easy?", questioned Jonathan.
"When you have money, it's always easy", replied Joanna.
"…Even if this problem is solved, that doesn't mean I can't fell guilty! They hurt you so much…"
"Please Jon! Let's talk about something else! I just want to forget those things…", asked Joanna with a begging tone.
"Alright, let's talk about something else…how I'm going to be forgiven! First of all, I'm going to make you dinner, or bring you to the restaurant… What do you think is the best option Jo?", questioned Jonathan with a smile.
"I prefer to see you make me dinner…we'll have more privacy and it will be funnier", answered Joanna with a smile.
"What do mean by funnier?", asked Jonathan with an indignant look.
Joanna imagined Jonathan trying to take out a turkey on fire from an oven or place all the forks, the spoons and the knives in the right order.
"Nothing…", answered Joanna with a smile that she tried to hide.
End of chapter
Finally! I'm back with a bunch of ideas for the upcoming chapters. Sorry if I took so long to update even if I was on vacation…I suffered from a lack of inspiration for a while… You don't have to worry cause now I have a small boost and a lot of ideas came in my head for the next chapters. For the fanatic of fluffiness (like me) that are reading this, I can tell you next chapter will contain A LOT of fluffiness. Next chapter will probably not contain a lot of action. It will be more talking, fluffiness and maybe some humour (but humour isn't guaranteed cause I completely suck at humour) Well, it will be more relax than the last chapters… I know I'm probably writing this for nothing but, if someone knows the music group Muse a little bit, email me! I need the opinion of someone else about something…
Spider-bear: Yes… eyes gone BWUAHAHAHAHAHA! Jeffrey is psycho…just like me (evil grin). Herbert is always changing is mind on everything except for his opinion of Cassandra De Vries so I decided he wasn't bad anymore. Anyway he's not the enemy number 1 that everyone hates…Jeffrey is doing the job! Lol, I like Jeffrey, he's too diabolic…I think he's the best (in degree of meanness) I ever made! Thanks for the review!
Fantasy Chick 3435: Nope, Jon didn't strangle Will and not in this chapter either! Don't worry, it will come later (evil grin again) I'm glad you always like this story! Thank you for your review! It's always appreciated!
