Love Struck Delusion
Chapter 161 – Storm.
Pepper's POV.
"Okay...okay...?" I mumbled as I finally had the energy to use my powers again. With my leg closing up, I soon let out a sigh and looked to my bag which I had on my lap. Pulling out my laptop and reopening Zeta's contract, I questioned once more what could have happened. There was no way she would let herself get captured. Not by those bastards anyway.
With my head lacking answers, I tried to come up with a new game plan. I'd have to first make a choice. Try and rescue her or just take off myself. Seeing as she did that once to me already I was tempted to just do the same. But I knew I was better and the older sister for a reason. If she was in the middle east and is on her way to China then she's being shipped by air. But they wouldn't fly her out there. Rebellion and G.U.N could cause problems. They'd have to just go straight to...?
"Hello?" I felt my heart stop as a familiar voice I almost forgot came through my earpiece. I couldn't even properly form thoughts as her voice sounded confused with her next question.
"Can you hear me Pep?"
In utter confusion I replied.
"Zeta?"
Immediately she replied with a happy voice to boot.
"Thank god your okay."
Placing my laptop on the dashboard, I began to try and figure out how she hacked in on my line. She's smart but I don't remember her ever cracking codes. Especially with a rig like mine. But still in utter confusion I replied.
"What the fuck happened? I just checked your contract Zeta. It said you were captured by Ying."
Flipping open some programs, I soon found it wasn't even my code that was hacked. It was my hotspot. She tapped into my computer at some point. God knows when. But as I began to see something else in the code I heard back from her with a gentle voice.
"A lot Pep. A lot fucking happened. But I'm safe now. Your in Syria right? I'm in a holding pattern right now over the airport. We'll be down on the ground in a few minutes." With questions flooding my mind I replied with utter confusion.
"Wait what? Your in Syria? You have a plane?"
"Yeah and we're trying to pick you up. Can you get here?"
With my laptop taking some time on the sidelines. I had the chance to finally talk to this woman one on one. I've been waiting a whole year to ask her some questions and the first one was.
"What the fuck happened to you Zeta?"
"Pep I can explain it all later. Right now you need to get to safety."
"Safety!?" I shouted as she went silent. Taking a moment to think I then yelled at her.
"Fuck you for talking about my safety after all this fucking time Zeta! Fuck you! You...?!" I had to bite my tongue I was so mad. On the other end as I widened my eyes I got back from her.
"What the fuck are you yelling at me for!? You disappeared! What did you want me to do Pep!? Find you!? Cause I fucking tried!"
I had a response but I held it in as I got to work on fixing my problem. Zeta on the other hand kept yelling after she heard me go silent.
"I tried! For months I tried Pep! You weren't in Russia when I got back that night! The soldiers said you got moved and wouldn't tell me where! After that I went home and tried to make some calls but it got me no where Pep! Don't blame me for you going off the grid! Did you even try to look for me!?"
"I've been looking for you! You stupid bitch!" I screamed as she growled back.
"Stupid!? Pep I'm here now! Now where the fuck are you!? Stop avoiding the question!" Keeping my tone raised I replied.
"I'm not saying shit till I know that's really you! So do me a favor and look at the camera! I know your using a phone so just fucking do it!" I ordered her as I tapped into the device in seconds. I heard a slight muffle of her shifting the phone and when I saw her face I lost all color in mine. It really was her. That stupid bitch.
"Happy now Pep!? Did I pass your fucking test!? It's me! Now where the fuck are you!? Cause I'm not lying! Look!" She urged me as she turned the camera around to show me the inside of the plan she was in. I was fully convinced I had gone mad just then. Thankfully it really was her and I took a second to try and calm down. I was still furious with her and I had many questions. I don't care what happens but if I get the chance I'll choke her for those answers. Turning the phone back to her face she shouted.
"Pep!?"
"I'm here!" I shouted back as she then asked.
"Are you happy now!?"
I went silent as she then shouted.
"Pepper!?"
"Can you shut the fuck up Zeta! I'm trying to think!"
"Where are you!?" She asked again as I just cut to the chase by replying.
"Just got into Jordan! Trying to find a place to hunker down for the night! Up till you fucking called I thought I was safe!"
"What are you talking about Pepper!? Are you in danger!?"
"I've been in danger for the last year Zeta!" I screamed back at her as I added.
"I have four companies after me and up till now I thought it was all just bad luck with them finding me! But the second you called I found out how you got into my location and we're able to contact me Zeta you dumb bitch! You left the port open and anyone with the know how can just trace me!"
"Pepper wait! I didn't...?!"
"My position has been live for them to fucking follow and it's your fault!"
"I didn't...!?"
As things were heating up I heard from her end a new voice. One that I have never heard before. It was dark and it was serious as fuck. With a strong grasp over his voice he said.
"That's enough. Both of you calm down for second."
Immediately I questioned.
"Who the fuck is this guy Zeta!?"
Carefully she replied with a much calmer tone. Her tone sounded controlled. Like she was obeying this guy. With her still looking at the camera.
"He's...?" The man cut her off to reply.
"I'm the one who got you compromised Pepper. I didn't know. Don't blame her."
With a smile coming to my face I replied.
"So you're the fucking stupid idiot then. Listen her buddy I don't care if you're with my sister cause right now you're my fucking problem. You put me through hell these passed few days by tapping into my gear the way you did. Your a fucking dumb fuck and I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, if and when I regroup with you guys I'm going to throttle your ass into the ground. You have my word on that."
"He's not the enemy Pepper!" Shouted Zeta as I listened.
"He's the only reason I was able to find you after all this time. He's saved my life and right now you have no idea who your threatening. Do yourself a favor and trust me on this. Leave him alone. Please."
"Who is he to you Zeta?!"
"He's...he's my...?" Cutting her off the guy replied.
"I'm a friend and I'm your only way out of this alive. You can't keep running."
"You don't know the first thing about me. So do me a favor and shut the fuck up. I don't need a talk from a dumb ass like you. Here do me another favor dumb fuck. Look at the camera so I can see that stupid face you have on. Come on. Don't be shy." I urged him as Zeta offered him the phone. In a matter of seconds this guy popped up on my screen. The first thing I noticed was his eyes. Purple of all colors and black quills. And with this camera he had being decent; I could fully make out his features. Guy looks like he is twenty five at best. Leave it to my sister to find a guy like this. But as I tried to think of what to say next I sensed a weird feeling coming from his glare. Something completely different. Sensing my silence he wondered.
"Happy? Cause we need to get together as soon as possible. And it would be better for everyone involved if you would just stop yelling for a god damn second and help us out."
Giving him a snarky laugh I replied.
"First of all don't tell me what to do. Secondly I'm not trying to talk my escape out with a complete moron so hand the phone back to my sister dumb fuck."
His glare remained the same as Zeta took the phone back. Once looking at her she said.
"Trust me Pep please. We need to meet up. Can you get back into the city?" She asked as I let out a sigh to reply.
"No chance. Barely got out the first time and Syrian military has the whole city on lock down. Your best bet is to get to me. Can you fly west to Jordan international?"
Nodding her head she replied.
"Yeah but that's a good two hours of flying to get there."
"Better then ten on the road." I replied as she seemed to agree. With both of us thinking we soon heard from the idiot behind her.
"Not to mention we will need to refuel and get you to us safely without any more trouble."
Getting mad I replied.
"I thought I told you to shut up."
I heard a growl from him as I smiled and said.
"Awww is baby angry? You've done more then enough. So let the adults figure things out from here bud."
Zeta immediately stated back.
"He's right Pep. That could take time."
"Don't worry about me Zeta. I'll find a way there. Right now I'm pretty sure I'm okay. Haven't had an issue since leaving Syria. But like I said, thanks to the idiot standing next to you my position has been compromised since I got here. So there might be a few problems rolling in soon we will have to handle."
"We can handle them." He replied from the side as I shouted.
"Shut the fuck up!"
He went silent as I stated.
"My goldfish listened better then you! Fuck!"
My sister had a look on her face. One that showed to him I was crazy. But I'm sure she already knew that. Fuck this guy. Dumb fuck. Keeping on subject I replied to my sister.
"You just get that plane here."
"Where will you be?" She then asked as I began to think of a way to do this. After a second I replied.
"Don't worry about that. I want to stay off the comms as much as possible after this bullshit Zeta. You have two hours. And since dumb fuck over there screwed everything up for me, I'll be the one to call next. Can't have a retard getting me killed after all this shit."
With my sister's voice trailing off she asked.
"Do you want to talk?"
Letting out a chuckle as I gathered my bag I replied.
"Like I said before Zeta. Fuck you right now. You want to talk? Do us both a favor and wait till we have more time cause I have a lot I need to say. Too much for this time frame and take full offense to this dude, but your no one to me. Just a dumb fuck who doesn't know what he's doing. So when it comes to wanting to chat Zeta? I don't need someone like him around to chime in ever time he gets an idea. You understand what I'm saying right guy? You need me to say it again for you? I can tell your a little slow picking up on things and I'm more then happy enough to tell you again how dumb you are. Just ask." I urged him as Zeta urged.
"Stop Pep. Leave him alone."
Letting out a sigh I replied.
"Fuck you Zeta. Just focus on getting to me. I'll talk to him however I want. We clear about that?"
"Yeah." She said back with a quiet voice as I nodded.
"Good. See you soon then."
Hanging up the line I let out a growl and punched the steering wheel with all I had. I wanted to kill someone right now. I can't go through emotions like this. Not in such quick movements anyway. Bitch gives me the scare of a lifetime and calls after months acting like nothing happened. I wasn't even going to bother asking for the details. Would only make things harder. But when I get the chance I will have my way with her and that brain dead asshole she has with her.
Opening the door I grabbed my backpack and duffel. With the duffel in my hand and my backpack on my back I refocused and began the walk forward. I have two hours to find an airport I have no idea exists. This should be fun. Hopefully nothing else happens till then. Cause I don't have time to deal with anymore bullshit. I want answers and I plan to get them now that I have the chance.
Zeta's POV.
Pepper dropped the call and I was left looking over my shoulder at Raptor who was just giving me a pissed off glare. Sensing his attitude I urged.
"Don't take it personally. She's usually not that...aggressive."
Raptor just let out a sigh and replied.
"Just get us there. Sooner we get this done the sooner you guys can talk shit out."
"Are you okay?" I asked in concern he was upset with what she said.
Keeping a straight face he replied while turning to leave.
"I'm fine. Just need to hide in the back of the plane when we get her."
I just replied with a small smile.
"She's really nice. When you get to know her."
"I'll take your word for it." He said with lack of confidence as he left my sight.
Refocusing on the plane I started to course us to Jordan. Every fiber in my body was excited to see Pepper again. But the other part of me was scared to death of her right now. I've never heard her that ticked off before at a guy. But I know I can keep her calm when I get her back. She doesn't know who Raptor is and she doesn't know what he can do.
With time passing as I got us on our way all I could really do was try to think of what I would say when I have her in my arms. We both have questions and she's pissed at me right now, but I know for a fact she still loves me. Deep down maybe but she does.
