Death's Bullet
Part 10:
MT was aggravated. Her delicate fingers tapped an impatient rhythm against the arm rest of her black leather chair. Bryan was proving more difficult to locate than expected. She had known he would hard because he was the best, but this was ridicules.
The chip had been damaged on the Main Bridge, a bridge than connected the two parallel roads on the river. She didn't know how it happened but she did know it happened there because that was where the signal had gone out.
They had later found the chip in a park a little bit away from the river. The rain had wiped away any evidence as to where he went. From one of the surviving agents sent after him they came to the knowledge that he had been hurt, bad. Someone had to have helped him.
This was taking to long. She got up in one fluid motion of black satin. Her heels sunk in the soft scarlet carpet. She grabbed her leather trench coat and left the building while checking up on her employees to make sure they weren't getting in trouble.
Her Mini-Cooper was parked in the back of the lot. She loved hearing the chirp as
she pressed the button to unlock the doors. Her trench coat was tossed in, as satin slid on leather. It was about twenty minutes until the park came into view and the car was parked in the first available space along the curb.
MT began her search for Death's Bullet.
Kaira leaned on the marble countertop. "So when am I going to see this mystery man you sounded so upset over on the phone?"
"Uh…." Mia stuttered. Kaira just quirked an eyebrow.
"Now, I guess. Follow me." Mia gestured towards the doorway. Their feet padded like cat paws on the hard wood and then went silent on the plush carpet. Somehow the stairs multiplied like flies before Mia's dark eyes. When they came in front of the door Mia couldn't tell if she was relieved or more nervous than before.
Luckily Kaira sensed her hesitance and opened the artificial wood of the entrance. Bryan laid peacefully on the tangle sheets of the bed. Kaira took one glanced and turned suddenly and left, nearly knocking Mia down in the process.
"Kaira what gives!" never before had her friend done that.
"Do you know who that is!" Kaira golden eyes were molten with anger.
"Ya, Bryan." Mai crossed her arms and leaned on the doorway, her posture defiant.
"Yes he's Bryan but also Death's Bullet."
"You mean the tattoo on his neck that Dom saw?"
Kaira sighed. "I never told you exactly why I left my family, did I?"
"No." this defiantly sparked Mia's interest. Kaira never really talked about what happened so many years ago that made her make her family.
"Most of my family is dead, only my sister and brother are still alive. My family ran a scientific corporation that specialized in disease and viruses. My family was studying a form of cancer. They were testing drugs and such, things than might cure it, when something triggered a response. Instead of killing the diseased cells, they mutated. They tried to contain it but it mutated too fast and was airborne.
It was too late to save everyone that was contaminated. The facility was shut down."
"I heard about that." Mia nodded her head in thought. "It was horrible, so many peopled were killed."
"I, my brother, and sister were the only ones left. My grandparents and cousin and everyone else wanted to see if they found the cure because there were reports that my parents were close. You could say it was like a reunion."
"Wow." Mia was shocked she hadn't known that the damaged that day was so close to Kaira. "You don't seem sad, why?"
"My family, they weren't good people." Kaira finally said.
"How can you say that Kaira, they were your family?" Mia couldn't imagine someone thinking like that. Sure there were times when she was mad at her family, but to say they weren't good people, that was crossing a line.
"Mia my family weren't just scientist, they were murderers." Mia was stunned into silence.
"They sent assassins to kill people, Mia, and they enjoyed it. People paid them to do it too. Bryan, he's just another pawn. My sister took over the business." Kaira sighed.
"Kaira explain." Mia didn't think, this couldn't be real. "Bryan is just…" she didn't even want to think about it.
"When my father died he left the business to my brother. My brother was torn up over the guilt of taking lives, so my sister got the business.
Bryan was a child that didn't have a family. He was tossed from foster family to foster family, so no one would miss him. My sister, MT, knew this so she kidnapped him and eased his memories with the chip you must have remover or she would have been here already. "
"Did any one know he is here?" Kaira questioned.
"No, it was late." Mia said absentmindedly. Other thoughts swirling around in here brain like a blender on full blast.
"Good. I have to go now. Marik needs to know what is going on, he can help." Kaira turned around, "Don't let anyone else know he is here."
Mia watched her leave. A feeling of deep dread bubbling in her stomach like boiling water. She wanted to say to her friend for her to be careful or safe or something but the words just wouldn't leave her parched throat.
Mia watched Kaira's slender back float down the stairs and hoped to god everything was going to be ok.
MT had talked to almost every neighbor of the park except for one house. She had heard from an insomniac neighbor that this girl had carried home an injured man. Not only did that sound odd but MT wasn't sure if it was true. How could a girl carry a man?
"Kaira." She hissed that cursed name. Her sister had just come out of the house she was going to next.
"MT are you going to try and kill me again." She shut the door quietly and leaned against the frame.
"No I don't think so." Last time MT had fought Kaira she ended up in the hospital for a week. No one had noticed her slight limp, for Kaira had shattered her kneecap. Kaira had only a popped shoulder and a broken jaw. Lucky bitch. She would always hate her for being better than her.
Their father had always favored her and even told MT that she was the one he wanted to take over the company. MT couldn't understand what he saw in her. She had tried so hard to be the best but damnit she always came up short.
Maybe that was why she mislabeled the chemicals. Blowing them up would've been better, to bad Kaira hadn't been in the building.
"I have to go now dear sister. It's always a pleasure." MT knew where Bryan was now. She just needed a way to get to him. Kaira must have the house under guard, or she could be wrong all together.
Kaira watched her sway away. Her golden eyes narrowed. MT knew. Kaira broke into a run Marik needed to know the situation now. She mumbled a quick prayer for Mia's safety. Her car was only a few feet away.
Mia didn't know what was taking Kaira so long. It had been a few hours since she left but Mia was getting very worried. The sick feeling in her gut had only gotten stronger. A dull throb had started between her eyes and moved to that back of her head.
Bryan lied on the bed. He didn't have the strenght left to get up or make escape plans. Everything was covered by a slight haze and the shadows looked like deformed monsters on the wall. He vaguely wondered which one would eat him. Maybehe would die now, on this bed, in this dark room. That seemed unlikely. Life was too short for him to give up now. Light sapphire eyes closed, only to wake up the hour forcoming in the next hours.
