Chapter 7- The Final Hour

Max emerged from the bathroom when he heard a gun fire nearby.

"The hell did that come from?" Max questioned himself as he hurried back to the operating room Kai was in. the doctors that were in there barged out screaming for help. Then, Max heard another gunshot.

"Wait, Kenny's still in there!" Max noticed his eyeless friend didn't run out with the doctors screaming bloody murder.

"AAAHHHHH! WHAT THE FUCK!" Max heard a somewhat familiar voice scream. He heard Kai say something, but he didn't understand what and saw a bright flash and another gunfire.

"Please Kai… no…."

'Kenny!' Max thought happily. 'He's alive!' The blonde attempted to go inside, but the police and SWAT team came and told him and everyone else to back away. Soon, Kai came out fully clothed and armed and police began to circle around him.

"DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!" one of them shouted. Max saw Kai begin to raise his hands in the air. The policemen cautiously stepped closer. Kai shot his arms down and fired at the policemen's feet. They jumped back and aimed their weapons at Kai. Kai ran into the crowd before they could fire and held hostage of a pregnant woman.

"What the hell is he doing!' Max's eyes widened in shock as he witnessed his friend's actions. Before he could continue his thoughts, Max saw Kai hold a pregnant woman at gunpoint and edged towards the hospital exit.

"If any of you come any closer…" Kai threatened as he crept closer to the door. He looks outside and snarls loudly. Max heard Kai say something to the police. The police didn't seem to obey Kai's command.

"ARE YOU DEAF! I SAID DROP YOUR GODDAMN WEAPONS!" Max heard the chief give the command and all the policemen dropped all their weapons. Then, Kai and the woman dash out the hospital. Mere seconds later, an explosion was heard from outside and the police began to head outside.

"I gotta find Kenny," Max said to himself as he headed back to the operating room. "Kenny?" Max called as he crept inside the dark room. He looks around and sees glass and blood splattered everywhere. He looked down and found a body lying in a pool of blood.

"Oh my God! He killed Kenny!" Max kneeled down to the body. "YOU BASTARD!" (A/N: I couldn't help myself. I just had to do it!)

"Max? Is that you? I'm over here!" Kenny slowly got off the ground and continued to wrap his bloody arm.

"Kenny! Who did this…?"

"There was this guy that had Kai in his control the whole time," Kenny explained as he finished tying his bandage around his arm. He handed Max a small, broken remote. "He activated the chip in Kai's neck when we started the operation. After he shot me, he murdered the guy with the remote and left he here. I just finished removing the bullet from my wound. What happened outside? I heard gunfire." Max explained everything that he saw.

"We need to get that chip out of Kai before something else besides this happens."

"How? He already left the building!" Kenny thought for a second to come up with a solution. Then, he got up and began to search around the operating surgery room.

"Found it! Here, Max," Kenny exclaimed as he handed Max a thick needle. Then he unfolded an x-ray photo of Kai's neck. "Stab the needle exactly at this point." Kenny pointed to the tiny chip. "I know you can do it because you always get bulls-eye in darts. The thing is, I don't know where he's heading.. would you Max?"

Max thought hard for a sec and remembered Kai's confession on Lee's murder. He gasps in realization. "He's going to Mariah's house!"

Mariah looked at Kai straight in the eyes and noticed dark circles. She somewhat forgot the password Kai told her, but she did remember something about a risen phoenix. She let him in.

"Kai, what's going on? I'm so worried about you!" Mariah embraced him with a hug, but to her he felt cold. Kai didn't return the hug, just stood there with no emotion in his eyes.

"Mariah," an elderly voice called her name, "who was at the door?" Mariah's mother and father came from the living room to find out who it was.

"Ah, Kai, it's nice seeing you back. What brings you here at this time of day?"

"For this," Kai pulled out his pistol and shot Mr. Wong in the arm. Mrs. Wong let out a shrilling scream as she rushed to her husband's side.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Mariah shrieked at Kai. As the Neko-jin attempted to slap the living shit out of her now ex-boyfriend, the duo-colored man swiftly grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her towards her. He then aimed the pistol under her jaw.

"Do as I say and I might not murder anyone," Kai hissed. Mariah's cousins, Gary and Kevin, attempted to charge at the assassin, but Mr. Wong stopped them.

"What are your demands?" Mr. Wong asks as he tried to stop the blood staining his clothes.

"Put all the money in Voltaire Hiwatari's account," Kai started, "all your valuable worldly possessions."

"Voltaire put you to this, didn't he?" Mr. Wong's faced glowered in anger. "For years, that old fool has been looking for ways to kill me and the others off."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Kai shot a warning shot in the air.

"You shouldn't be doing this, Kai. You're a good kid." The old man tried to get off the floor and walk. "What did your grandfather do to you to make you turn out like this? This is not you…" He began to walk slowly towards the mahogany-eyed man.

"Back off or your daughter's getting her head blown off!" Kai threatened as he began to back up. Never in his career has a hostage tried to some and stop him from what he's doing. "B-back off!" Oh god, why am I stuttering! He panickly thought.

"Give me the gun, Kai." Mr. Wong held out his hand his blood-stained hand to take the weapon. "I'll handle Voltaire. I'll make sure whatever he has done to you, I'll get him back for it. I swear it. The first step is to give me the gun."

Kai couldn't believe what he was hearing. A compromise? Never, ever in his life has somebody tried to compromise with their killer. Kai wasn't going to take that. He aimed the pistol at the old man's head an…

BAM!

Kai collapsed to the ground. A pointed object stuck out of his neck as blood and metal gushed out from the neck. Mrs. Wong rushed to her husband's side as Mariah slowly approached Kai's body.

"What has come of you, Kai?" Mariah knelled down to the unconscious man.

"That's not Kai, Mariah," Max jumped through the broken window. "Well, that is him, but it's not his personality." He went to the body and yanked the large needle out of Kai's neck. Blood began to gush out even faster as Max used the needle to pull out a broken microchip. "This thin has been controlling him for the past 10 years. His grandfather and father has ordered him to kill so your fa mily wouldn't get hurt, but they erased his memory and made you forget about you and the deal. They did it all with this chip." Max held up the chip to them. After Max placed the chip into a ziplock bag.

"The poor thing," Mrs. Wong pitied as she continued to wrap her husband's arm.

"We better sort this out before--"

"FREEZE!" an officer shouted as the SWAT team barged into the house armed. "WHERE IS HE!"

"THERE HE IS!" The team of twelve pushed back the Wongs and Max and encircled around the unconscious murderer.

"What happened here?" The police chief questioned. Max and Mariah explained as much as they humanly could. The chief wrote everything down and orderd his team to take Kai away.

"Oh Kai..." Mariah sighed in dispair. "What's going to happen now?"

"Only time will tell, Mariah," Max embraced Mariah in a friendly way and comforted her.
