I don't own CB or Vicious or Spike.I do own my character and my passion for
Vicious-kun. Thanks to my continuing reviewers. Please don't get mad if I
haven't reviewed any of your works until Vicious Cycle is finished. I'm
very busy and I don't wanna leave people hanging so whatever time I have is
dedicated to writing not reading. Promise to catch up as soon as I'm
done!!
Anyone that wants a great laugh, read my friend Qwitch 's bio! (
To all my supporters on AN especially all the subliminal messages and not
making me feel FORCED to keep writing..(*cough-Rio-cough*) Thanks!
Chapter 8: Family
Kahni had come down from the tower as soon as the charges blew knowing that things were in motion. She was to wait at the back entrance until Lin had come for her. But Lin never came. Instead Garret showed up, hands covered in blood, probably not his own, and limping slightly. Kahni new something had gone wrong when he saw his face.
"What!" she demanded. Her voice wasn't strong, but pleading. Garret came a little closer.
"It's Lin. . . . It's bad." Kahni's face reddened then blanched. She felt guilty because she'd first thought of Vic, but she should have known that he'd be the last to fall.
"Take me." She told Garret. He turned and she followed him through the corridors to the now stilled battlefield. Kahni new the bloodbath would be bad. She just didn't expect this. The she spotted him. He wasn't moving and there was a pool of crimson beneath him. She pushed Garret aside lightly, knowing he too was hurt, but hurried across the room.
"Shit, Lin,LIN!" Kahni knelt down next to Lin's body. Vicious stood over them. "There is nothing to believe in now," he said. Kahni looked up at him. Why would he even say something like that, she wondered. Vicious caught her strained look and glanced away. He motioned to one of his men to come over.
"Take him. Now." He told Kahni. Kahni nodded and closed Lin's coat to keep his wounds from getting soaked in the rain. Vicious' man helped her get Lin downstairs and to the waiting cars. After opening the door Kahni ran to the other side of the car and jumped in. The man slid Lin into the car and then took off his own overcoat. He bunched it up and pressed it into Lin's side, folding his arm over to hold it in place. Kahni nodded to him and he closed the door.
"Don't worry, bro. We're gonna get you help," Kahni said more to herself than the unconscious Lin. She put the car in gear and drove off.

Shin ran into the chamber room, soaked to the skin from the rain. He stopped short when he saw the massacre before him. He jerked when he felt Vicious' presence behind him. Vicious walked up slowly as Shin turned around.
"Was the target terminated?"
Sweat mixed with rain dripped down Shin's neck.
"He-got away. Our agents were cut down. We ran out of fire power and -"
Vicious cut him off. "Why did you come back? Where's Julia?"
"I -couldn't find her."
One of Vicious men came up and whispered to him. "They hit Annie's place already. We should go." Vicious turned and started to follow the man out.
"Shin!" he said pausing for a moment to glance over his shoulder.
Shin gasped.
"Do NOT follow in your brother's footsteps." Vicious warned him.
Shin narrowed his eyes and glared at Vicious' back as he walked away. "Don't worry I wont." He said to himself.

Kahni hit the breaks just in time as a red convertible with it's cream colored top up crossed in front of them in the rain. She hated the city in the rain. Lin's eyes were opened slightly and he mumbled. "Julia. . . . Pull the car over."
"What, no Lin, we've got to get to the hospital."
"Please." It was a simple word and everything in her head screamed not to listen to it but something in his voice caught her. She did as he asked. The rain beat down on the roof of the car and made little rivers crisscrossing on the windshield. Kahni turned the car off.
"It wasn't her fault" Lin said quietly.
"What?"
"Julia, it wasn't Julia."
Kahni grimaced at the name. "Lin don't talk. Just relax, we are going-" She reached up to start the car again but Lin rested his bloody but pale hand on her arm.
"He's got to be stopped. He'll get killed."
"Who? Lin what are you talking about? It's over we won. Vicious is the new leader."
"Not Vicious. He's in danger."
"Who are you talking about?" Kahni got a weird feeling. Surely he couldn't mean Spike. Why would he care about Spike now? He'd abandoned her brothers just like he abandoned Vicious.
"Shin." Lin said barely able to breathe.
"What!?" Kahni didn't know whether to listen or just ignore him and continue for help. But something tugged at her again. "What about Shin? Lin!!" He was fading fast.
"He sent them. He did it-------because he loves you. Despite what you think..they both---love you."
"Lin, LIN!!" Kahni pulled her brother's body close to her and rocked gently back and forth. Tears fell onto his scarlet soaked head. "Lin. . ."

Shin looked around at the mess. This was going to take a while to clean up. Suddenly he noticed something shiny on the floor in a puddle of blood. He bent down and picked up. He pales as he wiped it off on his coat sleeve and he saw that it was his brother's ring. "Lin?" He stood and looked around but didn't see him anywhere.
Shin called over one of Vicious men he'd left behind. "What happened to Lin?"
"She took him away. To the Mars Central Hospital I believe."
"She?"
"Your sister. Miss Kahni." Shin cursed silently to himself and ran out the door. If Lin was hurt, he now had to worry about both of them, him and Kahni. There were still Syndicate men out there under the command of the Van who did not know the second coup had succeeded. He had to find them before it was too late. But, but what about Spike. He was supposed to meet them at Annie's. No. Spike and Julia would have to wait. Family came first. Not syndicate family. . . his family.
