Chapter 11

Love, it's a funny thing and a unique feeling at that. After my crying died down, Kevin took me to get some ice cream and then we went back home. Arriving at the flat I still felt uneasy knowing that Bro was in here sitting on my couch talking to me when I was on a mission. I feel like this home is now a cage, however barred off I am, I know getting away will be near to impossible. We sat in the kitchen with the bag ice cream sitting on the counter along with chocolate syrup, cherries, walnuts and vanilla whipped cream. Kevin grabbed two bowls from the cabinet above the sink and came to the counter in front of me. Mind you this is were the deal took place and also were his dirty shoes were. Thankfully I cleaned it before we left for our date tonight knowing it would pester.

Kevin: We have one bowl and then we go to be.

Edd: Why? It's only half past twelve, this is longer than I usually stay up.

Kevin: First time rebel?

Edd: Your starting to rub off on me Kevin.

He chuckled and set the bowls on the table. I pulled the stuff out of the bag and went over to grab two spoons from the drawer. I turned around and was met with a passionate kiss making me drop the spoons. I don't even hear the sound of the silverware hitting the floor, all I hear is his grunting into the kiss he stole from me. He lifted me off the white and black tiled floor and sat me on the counter. I didn't protest at his actions but the the approach of it did catch me unguarded. He pulled away, damn, and went over to the counter and opened the jar of cherries. What is he planning now? As he brought the jar over I stared at his movements trying to gain foresight of his next move.

Edd: What are you going to do with those?

He looked back at me and smiled eating a cherry. The visual display he gave me was tantalizing and so sensual. I watched as his teeth took grasp of the cherry holding it in place as the red juice dripped down his lips and curled under his chin. I did't lose it until he played with it with his tongue licking the sugar-filled, artificial, red juice from it and wrapping his slightly tanned lips aroud it before sucking it in and chewing it. He reached up to his lips and pulled out the stem ever breaking eye contact with me. Good lord was I blessed with a man like him!

Kevin: Enjoyed the show?

I felt my face flare up as I realized he was reaching for another cherry.

Edd: Are you tempting me with sheer tactics of seductions with small berries drenched in red dye No. 5 and artificial fruit flavoring?

Kevin: Depends, did it turn you on?

I turned my head away from him avoiding his question. Granted doing this only answered his but I wasn't going to let him know that. I heard him chuckle as he came back to me and placed his hands on either sides of my hips.

Kevin: It's cute when you get all quiet like that.

Edd: Are you just saying that so I would throw my arms around you and kiss you?

Kevin: That wasn't my intent but hey, if that's what you wanted to do I'm all for it babe.

I glanced over at him seeing a soft smile planted on his face. I can't stay mad at him for anything. I look at him and peck his lips hearing a elated sigh escape his lips.

Edd: Let's eat this ice cream and head to bed, alright?

Kevin: Sure thing.

He kissed me as he pulled me off of the counter and we scooped the ice cream into the bowl. We sat talking again about things we would want to do, did and wished to do but was impossible. It was already 1:30 AM and I started to get pretty tired but I wanted to stay up and talk more. Kevin saw how sleepy I was getting and forced me to put on my pajamas Once we were both changed and in bed Kevin just held me in my arms listening to me as I named every star i the solar system. I used to do that when my parents started goig out more leaving me at home. It helped me sleep easier knowing that there was the North Star to watch after me when my parents were away. I was just about to sleep when we heard the bell ring to y flat. I shot up as did Kevin.

Edd: Who could that be at this hour, y patients don't know were I live and Eddy and Ed have things to do tonight.

Kevin: Same goes for everybody else.

We got out of bed hearing the person at the door having a heavy hand on the bell. I quickly but my black hat on as Kevin found a shirt to put on considering he likes sleeping shirtless. I threw on my bathrobe and we made our way to the door. Turning the living room lights on I held my hand to the door knob while Kevin aimed at the door with his pistol with an attached silencer. He nodded at me telling me to ask who it was.

Edd: Who is it?

Eddy: It's me sock head!

Why is Eddy here? How did he even find my residence? I opened the door. Not only was it Eddy, but Ed and everybody else was with him. I let them all in my flat checking the hall to see if anybody followed them and closed the door, locking it as well. I turn to the hoard of friends in my living room.

Edd: Before I ask why you all are here or even found out my address, would anybody like anything to drink?

They voiced their requests as Kevin and I went into the kitchen and gathered their drinks. I set the tray down on the coffee table when I entered the living room ad handed everybody their drinks; Sarah, Jimmy and Ed got ice cold milk. Rolf, Kevin, Eddy and Johnny got rum two of them with ice while Nazz got chamomile tea with cinnamon. I had water for myself of course seeing as it wouldn't make me sleepy but have the same effects keeping me awake. Everybody thanked me and Kevin for the beverages with smiles of glee.

Eddy: Now that everybody has their drinks, can I ask what it is that you all are doing here at such a late hour? And how in the heaves did you find out where I lived?

Rolf: Explosive Johnny had one of his men crack into base electronic box files to find out apartment address.

That explains that, not to self; have to scold Johnny on hacking the base data main frame.

Edd: Ok, now all that's left is why you guys are here?

The room fell silent for moments. I looked at all their faces seeing them forlorn. What was going on?

Kevin: Somebody say something.

Kevin was demanding for an answer. They had ruined well needed sleep for me and the sight of me sleeping for him. I watched Nazz who was wearing a black kimono with pink cherry blossom petals dancing along the body and sleeves. Her waist band was was a diagonal striped with red, black and pink. She reached into her little black purse pulling out a small saucer like device.

Kevin: What is that?

Nazz: A holographic projected device used for messaging.

Edd: How did you manage to get one?

They go silent when I propose a question but not Kevin. Getting things out of them will be hard.

Nazz: It's from Bro...

Edd: What?

Eddy: He sent this to everybody at precisely 12:30. We all heard knocks at our doors and when we went to answer them nobody was there except for a small box with a bloody "X" painted on everyone of them.

Eddy, who was next to me on the couch, took a long drag of his cigarette and tapped the ashes out into the teal and green ash tray sitting next to his drink. Before coming out with the drinks I sat the ash tray out for him that I got specifically for him. Again, no one knew where I lived but I got it anyways.

Ed: The message on there was scary!

Ed said sitting in front of my legs holding his glass of milk with his feet stretched out under the table. He was wearing his hunter green track suit with his black running shoes. He had his ear phones hanging around his neck still attached to the iPod on his arm. Sarah and Jimmy were dressed the same way but wearing pink and light blue. His hands were shaking as he sat the glass down on the table and put his head down.

Edd: It's ok Ed.

I look at Nazz and spoke.

Edd: Nazz play it please.

She pressed the small screen on top and it lit up. A 3D hologram glided up into the air and there, in holographic projected form, was the Kankers. I shuttered at the sight of them and Ed hid under the flap of my robe.

Lee: Hello Double Dee.

May and Marie: HI!

Said Lee with her two younger siblings chiming in. Lee, with her curly red hair covering her eyes wearing a black blazer showing all of her chest to us and her sisters wearing the same. I am ashamed to have noticed that May had the bigger breast size and her cleavage was overflowing from her orange laced bra and black blazer. Her blonde was in pig tails that were on her shoulders. And Marie, sporting a menacing scowl, wore more make-up than usual with her cobalt dyed hair.

Lee: Glad to see you after all these years kid.

May: Yeah! We came back with Bro after he sprung us from jail just for you!

Marie: Bro wants you badly like I told you before this evening.

She had told me this during my date today I glance over at Kevin who was standing by the chess table I had set up a number of years ago in the hope of putting Ed's mental abilities to the test. Again no one knew where I lived so the couldn't come over. His brows were knitted together and his eyes narrowed at the device.

Marie: He was at your job for a reason last week sugar.

Lee: That's right. He went through your files looking for the two research experiments that you've been doing.

May: 'Cause he has big plans for-OW!

Lee delivered a smack to the back of May's head. So my research was what he wanted? Dose this mean that that was all I was used for? But that doesn't explain the vulgar words he spoke to me on the day of the assault.

Marie: Don't think for one minute that he only wants you for that.

Lee: Yup, the guy wants you way more than just that.

May: Because he wants to stick his big cock in you tiny virgin butt hole-OWOWOWOWOWO~!

After saying that, both her sisters struck her head sending her to the floor. I felt bad for her seeing as she was the butt of her sisters jokes. Those words were the truth; he wanted me even more than Kevin did, he wanted mind and body he could care less about soul. I glanced over again at Kevin seeing that he had his hands in his blue plaid flannel pajama pants. His anger had morphed into blinding furry now I could see Rolf standing next to him in his white cotton knit shirt and black jeans and navy blue flip-flops. For a man of a hidden culture that no one has yet to discover and he was in love with flip-flops in love with them when he first arrived here. I could see Rolf's lips moving. I have a feeling he's whispering words of comfort to Kevin as the video continued.

Lee: Well, more than likely he told you this when you found him in your office.

Marie: But that's not all stud.

Lee: Right. Bro says to get rid of the bike-loving boyfriend o yours before he kills him and your little friends, including his brother.

Eddy: Wouldn't be the first time he's tried that.

Eddy spoke as he got up and went straight into the kitchen not wanting to hear the rest of what he already heard.

Marie: Yeah, get rid of that bastard for good, he won't do anything but break your heart like the rest of the pretty girls before he switched teams!

She walked closer to the camera with ire in her eyes and venom lacing her lips.

Marie: And he'll let me kill him personally if he tries anything funny before Bro gets his hands on you.

And with that she left the room with Lee following behind her heartbroken sister. The video wasn't finished. May popped back up after the door slammed rubbing her head in pain. She smiled at the camera and fixed herself up.

May: Sorry about my sisters, they start to get emotional when their hearts are broken.

She chuckled and continued.

May: But anyways, Bro wants you Double Dee. The research that you've been doing for almost several months. He saw the potential in you and the different ways your work could be used in. He wants it all. And again, he'll kill to have you in the palms of his hands. Have a nice night, and tell that big hunk of man Ed that I says hey!

The hologram faded and the device powered down ceasing the message. My heart sank and time stopped at her words. Bro is planning something diabolical and it's with the work that I've conducted. I don't know which works he's planning to use ad what he's going to use it for but I won't let him get a hold of it or me. And I am sure that he will have to kill me to get to Kevin or our friends...

This night has been a roller coaster of raging and calming emotions. But this message was just the deadly start of a game none of us wanted part of.
