Chapter 3: Black's Escort
"Mister King? Your taxi's here", a smartly dressed woman said, craning here neck around the door of Martin's office.
"Thank you Bevilie", he replied.
He grabbed his tattered leather suitcase, and headed off down the dark hall. When he finally reached the elevator, he pressed the button to the ground floor. The elevator jerked and clanked, it eventually started dropping. The dropping grew faster, and faster, until Martin realized, the elevator cable had snapped.
"Help!" He screamed, smashing his fists on the metal door, "Oh, please God, help!"
The elevator smashed into a heap of twisted metal. A fire began to start from the sparks of the electricity cables. Far up, on the top floor, a man looked down. He sniggered slightly and walked off.
Theo gazed up at Kenzel. Hatred burned in the pit of his stomach. Kenzel was about to speak when the man who he was whispering to had returned, this time he had brought a young looking guy with him. The other man was not dressed like the other Yackuzas. Infact he didn't even look Japanese. He was wearing green trousers and a black leather jacket. He was holding a shot gun tight in his hands.
"Ah! Black, you have brought Mister Speed! Theo, I'd like you to meet one of our close allies. Claude Speed, do you know him, I believe he was a Cartel", Kenzel asked.
"I've seen him now and again, a double crossing traitor!" Theo angrily said, "Look Kenzel, either you tell me what you want or you can just kill me now!"
There was a awkward silence, Claude looked at the floor, the man now known as Black was looking up, evaluating the weather and Kenzel was staring at Theo, his stare was cold, and empty.
"Okay, I'll get to the point. We want you to head over to the Las Venturas dessert. There we have a special 'package' we want you to take care of. It's very valuable!" Kenzel explained.
"You expect me to help you!" Theo laughed, "all that sushi has gone to your head, mate".
"Black, play the video", Kenzel ordered.
Two Yackuzas came out into the garden, wheeling a television. Black pulled a small cassette from his jacket pocket. He grinned revealing his ugly stained teeth. He slotted it into the VCR.
Suddenly the screen, flickered and the image of three people appeared. Two men and one woman.
Theo's face dropped. He knew them. They were the only family he had left. His half-sister Elizabeth McNab, his brother Zachary McNab and his old grandfather Edison McNab.
"No!" Theo shouted, he was struggling to break free, "You heartless pierce of crap! I swear I'm going to kill you!"
"Easy, Theo", Kenzel said calmly, "They are on holiday! Okay, let's cut to the chase", His voice suddenly changed, it was more serious than playful as it just was, "I will kill them, did you hear that, I will kill them! If, you do not follow my commands. Now, you will go to the Las Ventures dessert, you will look after my package and you will not try ti search for your family or go to the police. Now, Black will escort you to the airport. Good day!" Kenzel walked out of the rain and into his condo. Claude followed him and so did the four Yackuza guards. Black however, was just grinning at Theo.
"C'mon", He said in a deep evil voice.
The Yackuza stinger pulled up at Francis International Airport. The whole place was buzzing. People were just wandering around, searching for their flight.
Theo's hands were still tied up. He didn't care anymore. He was willing to do anything for the safety of his family, without question. He could handle this little protection job.
"All right Theo, I'm gonna untie you but, you remember what Kenzel said, you run away, tell anyone, and you'll be the last McNab. Got it?" Black said.
Theo nodded.
"Okay then, let's do this, I want you to work to the entrance, those two men are there", Black pointed to two men dressed in black suits with sunglasses to match, "They are Yackuza, go to them, they will stay with you on your flight, and your journey to the dessert".
As black learned over to cut Theo's robbed, his jacket flashed open. Theo could make out that the pierce of paper inside was indeed a flight ticket. It was to Vice City, and seclude in two hours.
"There", Black said after cutting Theo's rope, "Enjoy your flight", Black said sarcastically and smiling slightly.
The Stinger drove over, back over the lift bridge, Theo, wandered over to the two Yackuza guys. They nodded and led him away, into the terminal.
