Longer chapter! Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for reading :)
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Santana angrily spat as she made her way back down the steps. She was now in front of the exhausted man." Santana you need to see this." Marcus exclaimed practically begging her still trying to catch his breath he had ran almost the whole way here with this.
"Why should I watch this?" Santana demanded looking at the little sliver disk." It'll explain everything, I know we have bad history, but I know you're not a murderer Santana." She had no clue what to say or think at the moment as she tried to get her brain to start working. This man was in her house basically begging her to watch what his partner was on this disk, or whatever had stopped her to make a compromise and hands her a gigantic file. When did her job get this confusing?
"If I watch this will you leave without any trouble?" Santana asked annoyed. The man nodded, he looked very relieved letting out a big breath she knew she had to check on her wife" Kitty could you please get Marcus? Phillip?" She had no clue what to call him" Phillip now." He explained." Ok, get Phillip a glass of water?" Kitty walked the rest of the way back down the stairs knowing it was safe" Yes, sure." Santana pointed to the couch." I'll be down in a few." Phillip nodded than made his way over to the couch and sat down thankful she hadn't kicked him out.
Brittany was knocked out in her bed holding Santana's pillow tightly in her arms. Santana would've given anything to be that pillow at the moment but she knew she had to go down and watch that DVD. Kissing Brittany on the cheek she ran her finger tips lightly over her wife's face." I love you baby." Santana whispered before she made her way down the hall to check on her other baby. Santana walked into the cutest sight in the world her baby a sleep. Kissing her on her forehead the baby stirred a little but didn't wake up. Santana smiled watching her sleep. "Your all mine this weekend princess." Santana whispered feeling bad she hadn't been around a lot of the time.
Walking back downstairs kitty was sitting on the other couch talking to Phillip who had a glass of water in his hand and the disk on his lap. He quickly grabbed the disk when he noticed Santana walking into the living room" Here" He outstretched his hand and Santana took the disk from his hand. Walking over to her laptop she picked it up and carried it towards the couch. Sitting down not too close to Phillip Santana popped the disk in.
No one said anything during the whole video but Santana had a lot of things to say on the inside. The video clearly showed Benjamin 'the target' as an ex-assassin refusing to kill an innocent man. The council member Santana knew Robert Painter killed the man his self in front of Benjamin, Santana watched as Robert yelled afterwards telling him he will pay for all of this. The evidence was all in this disk Benjamin was innocent. As soon as the video ended Phillip turned to Santana." See?" Santana nodded a few times she hadn't believed them but now she surely did.
"I'll talk to my team tomorrow, thanks for showing me this Phillip." Phillip nodded as he stood." I know we have never been actual 'friends' in the past or even really on the same side but I am not a killer and because the council says something doesn't make it true like you goodie goods believe. Always find out for yourself Santana that is why I do my cases rogue I make sure I know this person is actually doing this crime before I set their death date." With that Phillip waved to kitty then was heading out. Kitty didn't know what was going on but she could tell Santana was having an internal battle at the moment on what to do with this new evidence." Thank you for being with Brittany today." Santana said hoping kitty would get its time to go." Your welcome, I am hoping this will bring us closer together Santana being around one another a lot more than usual." Kitty smirked as she locked the door and started walking upstairs." Where are you going?" Santana asked confused why the girl hasn't gone out the door." I am staying here for Brittany." Kitty informed. Santana couldn't say anything she knew the woman would be around a lot more she just didn't know she was actually going to be around ALL the time. Just great this is perfect. Santana rolled her eyes as she walked up the stairs and into her bedroom. Climbing into bed after she was changed Brittany's arms instantly went around her wife's waist and all worries vanished.
"So this dude is innocent." Sam thought out loud. Santana nodded." I have no clue why council or as you saw Robert painter would want to frame this man when he was the real' killer' here but I don't play this way. I will not be a killer. So I have called puck over and his team to witness and read all this gathered information but of course they are their own so I don't know what you are thinking." Puck had watched the video and read everything for himself. He was as shocked as Santana to know council wasn't exactly who they claim to be. "I don't know what to say, it looks like we should be after this Robert man but our order is for this man." Puck held up Benjamin's picture." Santana gave him a tight smile as she walked over to the dry erase board." I am backing down." She declared making some of her team members look at her." We should go talk to council about this, there has to be some explanation." Artie said not fully believing this video even though it all seemed legit.
"You want to go question them? You know as well as I do questioning their doings is grounds for exemption of your title." Artie cringed because he knew what happens after that." But we can't just let them get away with this. Another assassin team will step up and an innocent man will be killed. We have to do what's right here." Joel explained. Santana whole heartily agreed with him but she herself didn't know what to do "Puck?" Puck was still in thought for the most part this was a lot to take in that the people you have trust all your life that your family has trusted for decades before you are actually the bad guys and not all these targets." Where's Marcus?" Puck demanded." Santana was taken back with the question." Around I guess I really don't know how to get ahold of him." Santana shrugged. Quinn and Sugar both raised their hands at the same time." What?" Santana demanded looking between the two." Your wife has his number." Sugar said in a little over a whisper. Santana clicked her tongue of course her wife would." Sugar text Brittany and get his number." Santana instructed before turning back to puck. Placing her hand on his arm she gave it a little squeeze." I can't believe this is happening as well. Too much evidence against the council to say Benjamin is wrong." Puck let out a big breath before closing his eyes and shakes his head hoping to shake all this information away." Is it weird the first people I want to go call are the council?" Santana shook her head. She herself had wanted to call them as well" No, not at all."
"Um Santana" Sugar said nervously. She knew Santana wasn't going to like this." Yes?" Sugar handed Santana her phone without saying another word.
Brittany: I am with him now we are talking some things over; tell San he'll call her afterwards.
"What the hell?" Santana exclaimed out loud her life was going down the drain at the moment everything was going backwards and she had told Brittany not to see him again.
Dialing her wife's phone number she was going to get to the bottom of this for once and for all." Hey San" Brittany greeted on the other line." Don't! Why are you with him after I told you not to see him again?" Santana demanded. Her team slowly made their way out to the hallway not wanting to hear this conversation." She is going to be sleeping on the couch until she is ninety." Sam said receiving a bunch of "yes" From his teammates agreeing.
"Santana stop! He came to the house and said it was very important I decided to listen. I am damn glad I did now I know who was behind the whole videotaping and it wasn't Martin. Phillip has information so he and I are going to go talk to the man." Santana's eyes widened.
"No!" Santana yelled sternly." Santana do your own thing and don't worry we got this." Brittany said in a voice that meant this wasn't up for discussion. "Brittany let me take care of it." Santana volunteered. Brittany sighed loudly." I'm just going to ask him questions." There was no way Santana was going to allow her wife to go venture off with Marcus who she never trusted to god knows where to see god only knows who." I am coming with you." Santana spat back and hell yeah she was up for a fight if that's what is was going to take to keep Brittany safe." Santana I can do this Hun, just help Benjamin my mom has Alivia I have kitty with me. I'll call you when we get there I love you." Santana didn't like this at all but she couldn't stop Brittany." Take your gun Britt and if you need me you call. I don't like this one bit. Get your information and then get out and come home. Tell Phillip to get on the phone for a moment I love you Brittany." Phillip took the phone from the blonde prepared to be lectured." If anything happens to her on this ridiculous mission I'll kill you." Santana threatened." I gotcha I'll make sure Blondie is safe." Phillip promised." I mean it if she falls and scraps her knee your head is mine." Santana didn't like Phillip and she wasn't going to pretend to." Call puck when you get back he has questions." Phillip got off the phone and handed it back to Brittany who was standing next to the annoying blonde he had gotten to know a lot more this morning.
"So lovely" Phillip complimented" Let's go do this" Brittany said confidently.
"Ok, I know this was my idea and all but can I change my mind and not go in there?" Brittany rambled on now frightened." You'll be ok Brittany this man defiantly knows about the videotaping and Richie." Brittany didn't like the idea of speaking of the man that turned her life upside down but to gather more information couldn't hurt.
"Ok kitty, hold my hand please and let's do this." Kitty grabbed Brittany's hand and both followed Phillip into an old run down barn." You sure this person stays here?" Kitty asked in a whisper not believing anyone could live here." He has to." Phillip explained. As they entered Brittany gasp seeing the old man again standing by a man in an orange jumper she wanted to turn and run away" Hello again Brittany." The old man greeted." This better not be a trap" Brittany hissed at Phillip who shook his head" Of course not just wanting you to meet Jon Rossi and Benjamin Rossi." Brittany had heard the name Benjamin Rossi before as had kitty who was trying to think where though." I am your wife's target." Benjamin let them in seeing how confused they looked. Oh great. Brittany thought as she squeezed her friend's hand." What do you know about Richie?" Brittany asked wanting to get down to business." He was my target for a few months until they gave the order to the Lopez and Puckerman firms."
Benjamin explained." Also the first time I met Marcus over here." Benjamin added as he looked at the man who had become a very close friend over the last year." Council wanted me to kill Richie which I had lost on my radar so could not locate him. Robert painter and Kevin Lutheran came out to talk to me one day and gave me a 'special' case. A man by the name of Taylor Marcum he was a man charged with numerous of rape cases and murders. Of course I took it on and searched out this man's apartment and watched his whereabouts as I did with every other case. I was about to end his life when he stopped me with a disk. He told me to watch it and if it didn't mean anything then he'd let me kill him. I watched it and it was of three of the council members killing four men in front of him. All three council men were yelling and saying he was next. I couldn't kill him he was innocent. So I let him go and went and told council what he had showed me. They of course flipped out and by five out of five votes I was stripped of my title. It wasn't a month later when Robert came looking for me and that's when he killed Taylor Marcum in front of me and threatened I would be next which is why I have been on the run all this time." Benjamin was in tears as well as his father." I am innocent." He cried out loud. Brittany felt a tear run down her cheek as well as her heart went out for the young man." My wife knows the truth she won't come after you." Brittany said hoping that comfort him a little.
"You see Brittany if she doesn't she will be subject to the same fate I am if we don't act now and bring down the council together. These men are not holy anymore they have turned evil and using assassins to rule their own world and no one knows it but the few of us who has seen the evil doings in action."
Brittany nodded as she found it hard to swallow hearing Santana will be hunted down and killed. She couldn't let that happen." What can I do?" Brittany asked." You can help us convince your wife." Suddenly a voice came from behind the group." Why didn't you just come to me and ask me yourself? Why involve my wife?" Santana stood beside her wife now arms across her chest head tilted." I didn't know where your head was at still with all of this. Brittany was the only person you'd listen to Phillip said." Benjamin honestly answered." Brittany stepped closer to her wife pulling kitty with her." How did you find us?" Brittany asked. She wasn't mad just surprised." GPS on your phone Britt don't be mad." Brittany shook her head." I'm glad your here." Santana smiled relieved before turning and glaring at Phillip." You knew she was going to come see him and didn't say a word? What if another assassin team found this location my wife could have been in the crossfires." Santana hissed angrily.
"Don't be mad at Phillip but me I asked him to bring Brittany here to me." Benjamin spoke up." How are we going to bring the council down?" Puck asked crossing his arms across his chest. "I have a few plans."
After almost three hours of planning and Benjamin showing those maps and all the information he had gathered on all five council men both puck and Santana's minds were set. They were going to bring down the council." We're going to need more groups to join because as soon as we go to war they will send as many men as the can after us." Puck stated knowing exactly how this goes." That's where Santana and you come in everyone looks up to you two you show this video to your friends and they'll turn just like you did. No one wants to be a killer or oaths states that and that are also where I and Phillip come in we have already gathered a group of rogue and ex-assassins." Brittany was biting her nails not quite sure of this plan. She liked the idea they run away and never come back" Baby?" Brittany whispered standing behind the Latina. Santana didn't hear Brittany as she listened to Jon talk about the entryways around the building." Kitty let's go." Brittany asked seeing her wife was in business mode and wasn't going to be able to talk for a while. Kitty nodded following her friend out of the barn.
"What are you thinking about?" Kitty asked seeing how pale Brittany was. They stood right outside the barn by the black light post." I don't like this at all. Why does it always come down to war with this freaking world why can't they just I don't know. I've known she lives in this world since we were very young and it never really has affected me but twice that one time she was gone all that time and now when I realize if she does the right thing they'll kill her." Kitty listened really feeling for her best friend at the moment this could not be easy" Makes me want to go Kill council myself." Kitty's eyes widened." Why don't we?" Brittany was shocked with what she was hearing." Huh?" Brittany said arching her eyebrow that was the last thing she expected." The council doesn't know us Brittany like they do your wife and the others. Remember what that Jon dude said about how dangerous it will be when they kill the first guy because of the whole they can tell who killed the person thing." Kitty was trying to recall how the council could tell who killed a person." They can see it." Brittany mentioned remembering what he said." If they're an assassin they have a chip in them and when they kill a target council can see who did it and where it happened. When they are stripped that chip is killed. So that means if we do the killing they'd never know." Kitty's mind swarmed with ideas." We can have a few guys help us." Kitty explained knowing her and Brittany weren't much of a group.
"One problem with your whole plan" A voice they both didn't recognize came from behind the barn." Who are you?" Brittany demanded as she stepped closer to kitty." We'll get to introductions soon. Problem one is its very hard to kill a council member when you don't know any. Problem two they are very much trained that they could kill a civilian in less than a minute." The man wearing black leather pants and a red shirt said as he stood in front of the women.
"We know a few." Brittany stated." You do?" Both Brittany and kitty nodded." Am I in the council?" He tilted his head waiting for an answer." We don't know, you never said." Kitty answered. The man chuckled" Amateurs." Brittany stood up straighter." We can get that information easily." She didn't want this man to discourage them" Here" He threw a book at her. Brittany caught it and read the title." Council records" What the heck is this?" Brittany asked confused.
"Something you'll need to kill the council it talks about them and as of yesterday's whereabouts." Brittany couldn't help but to think this man was after the same thing they were." Are you an assassin?" Brittany asked in a calm voice" Was. They stripped me for not killing my brother. They came after the both of us and they killed him in front of me. I escaped and well you can say I am after what you are." Taken a cigarette he lite it with a black lighter he took out of his pocket." Was your brother an assassin?" Kitty asked feeling bad about his brother." No, Jim just saw something he shouldn't have." Brittany gasp she knew and saw way too much as has kitty." Can you help us?" The man took another hit off his cigarette before answering." Sure but I can't help to ask there is two teams and a target in there planning how to take the council down why not just let them do it?" Brittany frowned.
"Because they're going to war I don't want to go to war I just want to kill these men and live my life with my wife." The man nodded." I can respect that. Here meet me tomorrow at this address a few of us will be there, were going to visit the first council member tomorrow night." Brittany felt her adrenaline start pumping they were actually going to do this without her wife knowing. This could be risky and she knew Santana was going to be pissed." You're in?" The man asked again." We don't even know your name?" Brittany said." Alan turner" He outstretched his hand in front of Brittany." Brittany Lopez." She shook his hand" Kitty Richards" Kitty greeted as she took his hand." How do we know we can trust-" before she could finish someone came from behind yelling something in a different language" Up against the barn now." Alan demanded.
Santana as did the other men in the room turned instantly to the exit of the barn when they heard the screaming.
"Where's Brittany?" Santana asked just realizing her wife was gone. Santana started to take off as did puck in the direction of the screaming." Shit." Santana hissed when she saw the five men fighting a man and her wife who was surprisingly taken down the man she was fighting at the moment. Kitty was the one screaming and she didn't look like she was going to stop anytime soon. Phillip was outside beside them now." Let's get them!" Philip shouted.
Brittany had shot the man in the head that had tried to shoot kitty. As she turned to fight another she was pushed back by Phillip." Take kitty and go into the barn." Brittany seeing everyone was being dealt with obeyed." Let's go kitty." Brittany said taken her friends arm. Alan showed up beside them as they were about to walk in." They're more in here." He whispered. Brittany looked over at him and nodded she knew in that minute they could trust him." Let's do this." Brittany stated opening the door they were shocked who they saw standing right in front of them.
