Drake barreled down the street to the Heartless Defense League Headquarters. He turns off his car, gets out, and slams the door. He ran to the door before bumping into Nekomi. Drake stands there, head bowed down, but Nekomi never left. She stares at Drake until he lifted his head.
"What's the matter, Drake?" Nekomi asked while she moved the hair in her face out of the way.
"I have to talk to Alex. Something happened to Haley and only he can do something," Drake explained moving the hair out of his face to expose his eyes of deep blue.
"I heard about that, Drake. I'm really sorry. Is there anything I can do?" Nekomi asked as she tried to comfort Drake.
"Right now, just live your life the way you want to. I'll call you if I need you," Drake replied as he looked back at Nekomi.
"Ok. Well, I've got to go now. I'll hear from you later," Nekomi said before starting to walk off. She stood for about 2 minutes before Dark came down and picked her up.
Drake waves bye and then turns around and walks into the door. The receptionist points towards the elevator without even looking to see who it is. Drake walks over to the elevator, presses the up button, gets into the elevator, and goes up to the 23rd floor. He stood in the elevator until getting to the designating floor, where the door opened and he walked out. He walked to Alex's door and slammed it open, startling Alex from his business.
"I guess you're here to get a reasonable explanation for why Alex killed Haley, right?" Alex explained staring right at Drake.
Drake pulled out his gun and aimed at Alex. "You better tell me, Brandon, or you will get a bullet between the eyes, and it better not be nothing but bull."
"Ok, all right. I sent Alex to kill Haley because she was giving birth to a kid that will have enough power at age 5 to protect everyone from anything. We did not want this kid to become a Heartless and defend them from us. I sent Alex because he was fit to kill anyone. He despised you since you became our top employee. He did it not just because of pure hatred against you, but because he had to do it for a job. If he was killed in action, then all his money would become mine," Alex explained, staring at the gun with look of fright on his face.
Drake pulls the hammer on his gun back. "I'm sorry, Brandon, but you just gave me enough reason to kill you. You better have another reason in 5 seconds or you'll be leaving here in a bodybag."
"Ok fine. I told him to because I hated Haley too. I hated you since you joined. I don't care if you kill me because if you do, you won't get out of here alive," Alex says, pressing a button under his desk.
Drake slowly pulls the trigger back. Before he fired, ten guards walk in the doorway, aiming their guns at Drake. Drake then stopped pulling the trigger back and put the gun at his side. the guards tried to place a hand on Drake, but Drake then disappeared from sight. They feverishly looked for him, but found nothing. After about 5 minutes of searching Alex's window breaks and Alex flops onto his desk dead. One guard peeked out the window and saw Drake before Drake shot him. Drake teleported to the building next door and sniped Alex with his gun. One guard popped his head out and saw that Drake had wings. He aimed his gun, but the bullet never left the barrel. Drake nailed him in the head. Only 8 guards remained and they ran out of the office and ran downstairs to the patio before Drake sniped another one.
"I don't need a load of bull on why he killed Haley. I want her back," Drake breathed to himself. Drake then laid on the rooftop, thinking about how he's gonna get the other 7 guards left. He checked his clip. Only 6 bullets left. He knew that killing Alex was a bad idea, but he wanted answers and got none. He laid there, hoping that something would happen, when out of nowhere, Nekomi returned. She kneeled next to Drake, letting her wings rest.
"I thought I'd find you here. I heard the gunshots from my house," Nekomi said after looking at Drake.
"Yeah. I killed Brandon, but now I've got his henchmen after me and they think they know where I'm at, but I can't finish them off," Drake replied, putting the clip back in his gun and sitting up.
"I've got an idea. We can get away from here, and because of their bad attention, lose interest in you and forget that you ever did this," Nekomi explained as she stood up.
"Why not? I need to get out of here, and I can't go by car," Drake answered, now kneeling next to Nekomi.
Nekomi kneels back down and stretches her wings. Drake stretches his wings too and waits for Nekomi to lead off. In a flash, both of them have taken off and are flying towards a forest. They fly into the forest and land next to a lake.
Drake stands near the lake and looks into the water, revealing his dirt streakened face. He grabbed some water and washes his face off. Nekomi stands next to him, looking at him while he cleans his face off.
"You know, I can see your spine through your shirt," Nekomi quoted while kneeling down to Drake's level.
"Yeah? And?" Drake said a he wipes his face off on a towel he brough along with him.
"It's just that I've never seen you since about 6 months ago. You've never called me, you never came to check my post, or even come to see me at home. Why have you been avoiding me?" Nekomi asked as Drake finishes wiping his face off.
"I couldn't call you because I've been busy getting ready for a baby, I was to come check your post, but someone said it has been cleared, and I forgot your address so I couldn't come see you. So, no, I haven't been avoiding you," Drake replied looking at Nekomi.
Nekomi looked away from Drake and stares into the crisp and clear water of the lake. "I thought you forgot about me since me and Alex started going out after you and Haley got married. I knew Alex hated you, but I couldn't call you to say that I missed you. I didn't have the courage, but now I do,"
Drake stared at Nekomi after she said that. "But what about you and Dark? Isn't there anything between you two?"
"No. We live together, but we're not going out. Well, he doesn't want to right now," Nekomi replied staring back at Drake.
Drake didn't think until after he did it. He leaned over towards Nekomi, put an arm around her, pulled her in, and their lips met. For 5 minutes, they sat there, entranced by one another. Drake let go of her and laid back on a tree, realizing what he did. "I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have done that."
Nekomi sat there for a minute before replying. "No, it's ok. I just never knew you felt that way about me."
Nekomi then spread her wings and flew off home, blushing really badly. Drake sat at the side of the lake for a while before flying back home.
