Chapter 7: Rescue Mission
I turned and began to leave Jamila standing in the room. "Where do you think YOU'RE going?" she said as she grabbed my arm.
"You heard him! He wants me to be there at eight. It's the only chance I've got to get back to King." I said harshly as I looked into her eyes. It's odd, I found that I wasn't as afraid of her as I used to be. As I turned, I heard her begin to speak again.
"Ok. So when you walk into a death-trap, don't expect me to be there to save you."
I gulped before turning back to her, "De-death trap?"
"That's correct! Death Trap." She said.
I began to reconsider my options. "Alright, alright. What do you suggest I do? And you know this guy?" I said to her, wondering what her answer would be.
"Just leave it to me. By the end of the day, I will have your father back safe and sound." Jamila said. I hopped into the air and smiled.
"Yes! But I'm coming with you." I said, not willing to take no for an answer.
Jamila stayed quiet for a second, before saying, "Ok. But you have to do what I say or else that's it. Got it?" I nodded eagerly. We began walking and I noticed something.
"Hey, you never told me how you knew this gu-" I was interrupted by Jamila's gun smashing into the back of my head. I gripped my head as I fell to the floor.
"He's my brother…" I heard Jamila say before I blacked out.
I woke up in a hotel room. "I cannot believe that witch! Did she seriously knock me out!" I yelled as I tried to get up. What a surprise, I was tied down. I laughed to myself.
"You know, normally I'd find this situation interesting, but right now, it's not cool." I said as I pouted. I sat for another minute, then I started shaking about wildly, yelling as I did so. "This! Is! UnBELIEVABLE!" I shouted. Suddenly, I noticed that the ropes on my body began to loosen.
"Ha! Jamila think she's sooo good, but apparently, she doesn't know how to tie knots!" Or maybe, she did this on purpose…Hmm, well that doesn't matter now. Right now I've gotta go save King!
With that, I finished untying myself and before I knew it, I was on the way to the warehouse. As I snuck behind the warehouse, I noticed that there were Tekken Force soldiers guarding the place. I couldn't risk getting into a fight with them, so I made sure that I wasn't seen. I jumped onto a few crates and quietly opened the vent.
Crawling inside, I looked down into the warehouse to see Jamila hiding behind a few crates. I jumped down to the ground. I landed on my butt. I covered my mouth as I yelled mentally. Jamila looked over and saw me. She motioned for me to be quiet, and then to come over to her. After recovering from my fall, I crouched low to the ground and ran over to her.
Once I reached her, she grabbed me by the ear and threw me down onto my back. "What. Are. You. DOING. Here?" She asked me angrily. I winced in pain as I looked up to her. "You never said I couldn't ow follow."
"You're crazy." She said to me. Suddenly, the crates flew down onto us. As we were getting buried, Jamila looked at me and said "Great. We've been found out."
"Maybe we can just hide under here?" I said, giggling nervously.
"Stop laughing." Jamila said. Suddenly, rough hands grabbed both of our necks and pulled us out. It was two Tekken Force soldiers. I looked into their helmeted faces and said "Easy, my skin hasn't grown that tough yet!" Jamila rolled her eyes at my comment.
"Well, well, well. Hello Jamila. I didn't expect to see YOU here." A voice said. That's when a man stepped out of the shadows. It was that man from the hologram, Nexeu. He came over to me with a syringe and I began to yell out nervously as he grabbed my arm. "Jamila!" I yelled.
Jamila forced herself away from the Tekken Force soldiers and jumped in front of me. "What are you thinking? Leave the boy out of this. It's me you want." She said to the dark man.
"On the contrary Jamila," he began as he looked into my terror filled eyes, "he's EXACTLY who I want."
'Great. I should have never come along.'
