Torn

Hello Bryan

I scanned the area again, getting impatient; Bryan should have been here a while ago. I looked at Rei who was fidgeting nervously; some girl was next to him trying to talk to him. I snaked a hand round his waist and glared at her, mumbling a few threats in Russian. She walked off shrugging, why would she care? Rei smiled at me, I looked forward again, tapping my foot; I wasn't used to waiting THIS long! I glared at the black car that pulled up at the side of the road, he was LATE and obviously had a pathetic excuse. The window un-winded and his head appeared. I opened the door for Rei who shuffled to the other side so I could get in.

"You're late!" I stated in a demanding tone. He looked at me; his driver was there.

"Yea, I know, it took longer than I thought to get a fast car," That's when I noticed that the driver had got out and opened my door. "Well, you drive fast, get your butt into the front!" I smirked and ran into the front.

"Is this…" I trailed off…this car rocks.

"A 2006 Mallett V8 Solstice? Yes, you don't know HOW long it took, get driving!" I started up the engine, smiling as the wind blew through my hair.

"Go on then, I know you're dying to tell me about it!" He laughed; I was dying to know about it!

"All the horsepower of the Corvette slammed into the Pontiac Solstice - the 400hp GM LS2 engine is an awesome addition to this super slick roadster. Mallett Cars has engineered it as a complete package. Extensive track and street testing has been done to assure that this car handles better than stock on either a Sunday drive or on a road course. The cars are complete from front to back using Genuine and Official Licensed Products of GM with the stock OEM catalytic converters in place to assure state emission compliance's."

"Ok, I'll let you off for being late, this thing purrs like a kitten!" Bryan looked at Rei, who was staring out the window, then back at me.

"You let him come?" He looked unbelievably shocked. I nodded and sighed.

"I couldn't leave him in the house, and besides, I don't know what I would do without him," Bryan looked down, saddened by this. "Don't worry, we'll get him back, and then he has a promise to keep." He nodded, keeping the tears back. He was strong, but I wasn't sure how long he'd last.

"I have the guns in the boot-" He started. I paled and cut him off. I looked behind my shoulder, Rei was looking at me with that 'you're hiding something, and you know you shouldn't' look.

"Umm…he means…umm…err…" Rei raised an eyebrow. "Ok, ok, so we're using guns! This is going to be very dangerous! And you know where we're going!" He growled.

"I also know how you feel about guns!" Rei hissed, I looked back to the front, we were almost there.

"We won't use them, just self defense!" I defended.

"I don't think Rei should us a gun if he's never used one before…" Bryan said.

"Of course I can! How hard can it be?" Rei said. I slammed the breaks down before it got out of hand.

"Ok, we're here!" I said, rushing out and opening Rei's door. He got out, as Bryan did, and we each got a gun. I had my old sniper rifle, Bryan with his large pistol, and Rei looked at what was left.

"I'll have that one!" He said, pointing at the larger machine gun. Bryan shrugged and handed it to him. I stared at Bryan.

"I'd shut that gob of yours unless you want this in your mouth." He said, jerking his gun up. I closed my mouth and went in first.

Zzz

Bryan pov.

I looked round the familiar corridors, taking in the rout we took. It could be pretty hard to find your way around this place. I Kicked open a door that had a long hall behind it, not promising. Kai walked straight passed me in a trance. I looked at him, puzzled. Rei walked up beside me, looking very worried.

"Don't worry, Kai knows these halls like the back of his hand, he's just used to walking down them like this, he needs to concentrate." Rei nodded, smiling a little. I pushed him forward a bit, then walked after him. I may not be all that polite, but I'm getting there. Kai quickly ran to the wall opposite as guns started firing from the side hall, he did know what he was doing. I crouched behind the opposite one, Rei next to me. I fired once or twice as some started reloading, Kai did the same, but he had to go a bit more forward. A shot narrowly missed his head and he gulped as another one came his way, but it was cancelled out. Before I could do anything, someone behind me was shooting all the biovolt people in the knees. I looked up to see a very angered Rei, eyes slitted, and looking like he'd done this before.

"NO ONE shoots my Kai except ME!" He spat, even I was afraid! The biovolts ran off towards the door, but Rei was quicker, he grabbed one by the small ponytail on the back of his head, Kai and I followed suit, forcing them to their knees.

"Where's Tala!" I demanded, as much as I'd hate to admit I was REALLY worried about him.

"I-I-I don't know!" I stuttered, I held the gun to the side of his temple. He shut his eyes, shaking. "In the main hall!" I yelled, I pushed him forward, the one Rei was holding scrambled over to, what I presumed was his brother.

"Takeo! Takeo are you ok?" He asked, Kai and Rei walked up to me.

"Come on Bryan, we know where Tala is." I nodded; the other two went ahead. I touched the elders shoulder. He looked at me.

"Look after yourselves, k? There's an orphanage near the cathedral, take him there, say Bryan K. sent you." The boy nodded and smiled at me, taking his brother in the direction we came, I followed Kai and Rei.

Zzz

ok, don't kill me, Bryan meant the nice big cathedral in Moscow, St. Peter's burg or something, I'm not sure…

Tala: -.-; aren't you a Christian, shouldn't you know?

Don't be mean! I'm just an idiotic child!

Tala: you got that right

Grr…I have a flame-througher in the cupboard you know…

Tala: EEK! Wasn't that a good chapter, and it's not late! You're doing really well!

smiles sweetly why thank you Tala!

Tala: can we turn the annoying frog OFF though?

NO! Crazy frog rocks! Anyway, I best go, I have Geography homework to copy!
