Chapter seventeen: Information from a friend
Rooftops of Hell's Kitchen
Elektra led the way leaping from rooftop to rooftop while Abby and Josh followed behind. Abby called out to Elektra "do you know where were going?"
The older warrior looked back at her "I have an idea"
They call picked up speed as they slid down a drain pipe into an alley. Abby didn't know about Josh but she felt comfortable in her black costume that looked like Elektra's and her leather gloves with the fingers cut out kept her hands from getting ravaged as she flipped off the drain pipe. Josh panted a little from running much more than he was used to even with his nightly training. Elektra looked around the alley as if she could see through the walls then walked towards the empty street that rolled out into a dock with a large warehouse on it. "Why are we at a cargo bay?" Josh asked
Elektra again looked back with that look in her eye, that look that seemed like she would rip your head off if you pissed her off to much, she called it her assassin look "because I know a guy here who's hooked into New York I called him here"
Josh looked over to Abby who stared at the warehouse "can we trust him E?"
"Yeah if the past tells us anything then yeah" Elektra nodded and started to walk towards the warehouse Josh and Abby following behind
They took large strides once into the building keeping a silent as they could like mice in a house full of cats they never wanted to be ambushed if they where wrong. A man leaned on a cargo container cigarette in him mouth as he puffed out the thick smoke. A sandy coloured trench coat covered the stained white shirt and black pants that were wrinkled showing that he had been sitting down for a long day and to top it all of a pair of yellow tinted glasses sat on his nose and his brown ball cap hid his hairless head. Elektra walked up leaving the other two staring at the oddly man. The man spotted Elektra then tossed his cigarette on the ground and stomped on it "It's nice to see you again Elektra" he have heartedly smiled
"You too Urich" Elektra smiled back
"Please call me Ben" he waved off to her
"I need some help Ben you know that new freak hanging around Hell's Kitchen?" Elektra asked hopefully
Ben nodded "I wrote about him he's my new article they call him 'the man with no name' but I just think he's some kid dressed up in a black suit" he chuckled at the last part of his comment
"Do you know where we can find him?" Elektra asked
"What do you mean 'we'?" Ben asked
Elektra looked over her shoulder "you guys can come out now"
Abby and Josh walked out from behind a stack of large cargo containers letting the shadows play on their faces "oh so you have back up this time Elektra?" he smiled
"Ben this is Abby and Josh. Abby, Josh this is Ben Urich, he's going to help us out" Elektra let them shake hands
"Nice to meet you guys I just wish it was under better circumstances" he took out another cigarette "you guy mind?"
"Actually I do" Abby spoke up
"Fine" he shrugged and put the cigarette back in his pocket "so about this freak show my sources told me he usually hangs out by these apartments just on the edge of Hell's Kitchen but I'm not sure what one"
"Thanks Ben you helped a lot" she started to walk away "we'll keep in touch…oh and Ben"
"Yeah?" he took the smoke back out and was ready to light it
"You tell anyone about this I'll have to kill you" she said before the three exited the warehouse
He chuckled "just like you always where Elektra, so demanding" he left the warehouse lighting his smoke letting it sink through his body.
Hayley and Gareth's apartment
A sigh escaped her as she entered the apartment a small table in her hands. One more piece of furniture in her hands than was either found, given to her, or bought from a thrift shop for two dollars. The table was set where the mattress used to be right by the window. She looked at it for a second inspecting if it was in the right place. The apartment was now furnished with a large collecting of stuff that didn't match. Gareth had been gone for week and hadn't told her where he was leaving her worried and lonely longing for his sarcasm and jokes along with his rough housing and taunting remarks, she missed his sent, his face, she missed everything that reminded her of her room mate. Hayley walked away from the small square table and to the washroom where she would take a hot shower after her long day working at the diner and being ogled by nasty guy.
Once out of the shower and her muscles where not so much stiff anymore she dressed herself in a pair of lose polka-dotted green and blue pant and a black tank top she let her damp hair lay loosely around her shoulders she took her book and started to read it, not bothering to eat something. A sound at the window brought her out of her fifteen minuet trance from the book she walked over to the window and opened it to find 'the man with no name' standing on the railing in perfect balance. "Gareth?" she called out
He nodded and jumped off from the railing "Hayley…" he trailed off
"Where have you been?" she asked tears in her eyes as she stared into his beyond the mask
"I-I needed to do some things, get rid of my past" he paused and gathered Hayley into his arms "I missed you"
She pushed away "what do you mean get rid of your past?"
He stared at her drinking in everything about her "I killed The Hand or most of the members of it" he sighed
"You killed them? Gareth you couldn't they where people" she was cut of by him
"Bad people Hayley they hired me, they manipulated me into killing other people they deserve to die" he said sternly
"No one deserves to die no matter what they do" she let a tear slip down her cheek "I should know"
Gareth walk towards her as they both stood on the fire escape "what do you mean?"
"My grandmother was killed by a bunch of gangsters, she did nothing but good for her community, she took in orphaned kids, she fed the homeless people outside of our building and even with her dieing wish she gave all her money to a t woman's shelter and all the people who killed her had to say was that she deserved to died because she cared to much" Hayley let the tears stain her cheeks
"I didn't know Hayley" he wrapped his arms around her again
She sobbed into his shoulder "why did you come back?" she asked into his ear after she calmed down
"I killed my past but I do have a present and a future and now I can go on with it" he closed his eyes
Elektra jumped to the next rooftop stopping after Abby and Josh caught up to her. Elektra concentrated and soon a vision came to her
Hayley looked up at 'the man with no name' and smiled "I'm glad you're back"
The masked man smiled through the mask and spoke softly "I needed to come back"
She smiled again and hugged him tightly
She came back to reality and looked back at Josh "He's with Hayley"
Josh's eyes winded "I'll kill him if he hurts her" his fist clenched at him sided
"He's not going to hurt her, it seemed like they knew each other" Elektra looked at Abby
Josh took off without warning giving both girls almost not enough time to follow him. They all ended up on top of the apartment building panting heavily after running top speed for almost five city blocks. Josh never seem fazed after hearing that his friend was with this maniac of a man and liked it. He jumped down the levels and ended up hiding just around the corner from Hayley's fire escape and watching both of them as they talked. Hayley looked up at 'the man with no name' and smiled "I'm glad you're back"
The masked man smiled through the mask and spoke softly "I needed to come back"
She smiled again and hugged him tightly letting him speak softly almost so Josh couldn't hear "I have to go now but I'll be back later"
Hayley nodded and hugged him once more "ok"
Josh jumped out "you'll not come back if I have a say in it"
They both jumped Hayley standing wide eyes the masked man with his legs stiff so her couldn't move at all out of fear "Josh I…" she trailed off
"Your trying to hurt her aren't you, you asshole" he lunged for the masked man
The figure jumped to the rooftop where Abby and Elektra lunged at him to but this time took him down. Gareth squirmed but never got free from the two girls grasp. Josh climbed to the roof and looked down at the masked man "now its time to see who you really are" he reached for the mask gripping the leather tightly in his fingers.
With one swift movement the mask was off and Gareth face was exposed to the night air. They all gasped and Josh dropped the mask on the ground beside Gareth's head as Abby and Elektra let go of him. "But how…" Josh was speechless
Gareth sighed "now you know so just kill me"
Abby shook her head "why didn't you tell us Gareth?"
"You think I would be here if I told you Elektra would have killed me in an instant" Gareth stood up
"Big mistake getting caught me Gareth" Elektra whipped out her sais
Gareth stretched out his arms "Do it I deserve a lot more"
Elektra kicked his side but Gareth never flinched "what the hell?"
"I don't feel physical pain" he let his arms drop "I was in an accident a few years back it left me in the hospital for a long time but the accident damaged the nerves they call it polyphonic" he replied
Hayley burst out of the door to the roof and jumped on Gareth hoping he wasn't hurt "Gareth you leave I keep them back" she whispered into his ear
"I'm not leaving with out you" he whispered back "I'm not leaving you alone again"
She nodded slowly and out of no where a click was herd and then a bright flash blinded the ground. Once their sight was regain a tall figure stood in the middle of all of them not even looking like Gareth in his costume. The figure attacked Elektra first punching furiously but Elektra either dodged or blocked them. Abby kicked the figure from behind in the side making fall to the ground. The figure flipped up to its feet and round house kicked Abby letting her fly backwards and hitting her head on a smoke stack. "Abby!" Josh yelled before he was next to be attacked being punched in the head and falling unconscious beside Abby's form.
Elektra lunged at the figure tossing her one of her sais at it and watching it slice his right shoulder. The figure groaned and attacked Gareth. Hayley jumped away from him after being told to hide and watched as Gareth exchanged blows with the figure before. Elektra tossed her other sai and pinning his hand to another smoke stack and Gareth kicking it in the side feeling his kick break a couple ribs with it. The figure pulled the sai out and tossed it back at Elektra and it hit her in the head near her left eye brow and opening the skin to let a few drops of blood slide down. Gareth punched the figure and it flew back. The both relaxed thinking the figure feel unconscious "nice work E" Gareth smiled beyond his panting.
"You too" Elektra panted back
The figure jumped up and before anyone could react a loud bang was herd. Hayley stood the gun still smoking and her arm froze up her eyes wide. The figure fell to the ground blood pouring out of the bullet hole in its shoulder. Gareth ran over to Hayley who's eyes where glued to where the figure once stood. He took the gun from her hands and wrapped his arms around her. Elektra was stunned this criminal had helped her kill one who had attacked all of them, her feet took her to the body of the figure "now say cheese to the police camera" she pulled the mask off the figure to see the face of Master Roshi who had killed Josh's father, and make a living hell for them two years ago.
The police had come after Hayley called them and the others had left. She told the police that his was 'the man with no name' everyone had herd of, a killer, a maniac and now resident of the Texas State Prison until his life sentence was over.
