Thanks for the reviews so far!
I'm also really sorry I haven't updated in a while, I went on a 'no modern technology retreat so my phone and laptop was taken away. So sorry!
And here is the next chapter of Rigid Raven.
Raven finally finds and saves Henry from dying, but will they make it out alive when Akans and his goons finds them in the brothel? Stay tuned to find out.
Rating: M for gore and extreme situations.
I quickly type into the phone before loading my pistols.
'Can you shoot?'
I hand Henry the phone as I load the clips into both of the pistols. I stand up and kick Jimmy in the stomach. He reacts and gets up. I then notice the freaking coke on his face! Oh, this is going to just perfectly!
"I'm up, I'm up!" He says as he stands up, still staggering. The damn man is far from sober! "Raven, you get Henry out of here! This is gonna be fucking war!" He yells to me, barely standing on his own. "I'll go this way, and you two get to the parking garage! I'll be waiting there with some friends! Now! I'm gonna go hold off these assholes baby!" I nod and he takes off out another door, but quickly turns back to us. "Oh! There are two extra pistols in the drawer. Good luck you two!" He turns back and starts yelling at someone down the hallway.
I look to Henry, and he is going through the drawer, but instead of finding twin pistols...
There are several large... And small dildos. As well as warming gel, and lube... Jimmy what the fuck?!
I then hear one of the prostitutes in the corner say something in Russian.
"Net nizhnego." She says that to Henry who then opened the bottom and finds the twin pistols. Oh... She meant the bottom drawer. Henry grabs them, loads, and looks to me, and nods. He kicks the other door down, but before we leave, the same woman and a couple of the other women in the room, say something to him again in Russian, and of course, like before I can't understand what she means. I'll just say that there saying farewell or good luck to him. I wave and we head out the door, and into the chaos we go!
We walk down a hallway lit with several lamps and the farther we went, it didn't take long for us to hear women screaming, and gunshots. Soon we see several naked women running by, screaming their heads.
Fuck. This situation is really not good.
We begin running and we run into a four way hallway, and the fucking bouncers are jumping and shot! Now this really ain't good!
Henry shoots the men in front of us, as I start running ahead, and slide to go unnoticed by the men to the right and left. As soon as I see how there are, i start shooting at their heads, and they drop like flies. Thank god for automatic weapons.
Henry catches up, and we run to the next place we hear more loud commotion; the bar. We shoot at a couple men, but we're overrun, and to dodge to the bullets flying, we jump over the counter of the square bar and hide behind it. Bullets are making their way through the wood, but non of them are getting us. That would explain why the bartender was still alive, even though he's shaking more than a damn chihuahua.
I see hear the wood behind me breaking, but not from bullets, it was their feet! Their kicking the wood of the bar behind me! Akan must want me back alive!
I quickly think of something, before I could register what I was doing, I stand up, and grab the guy kicking the wood in and punch him in the face several times before shooting him in the face. I see two others aiming at me, but I shoot them in the chest before they could even do anything. I duck down and I see Henry switching emptying his clips by shooting some of the other men on his side.
I smile and stand behind him, pistols in both hands, as I shoot at men on my side.
We duck down when we see two men running towards us, but not shooting at us. They were fighting. It didn't take long for me to figure out it was Jimmy.
He flips him over the bar, but he goes with him, and the man ends up on top of him, choking him.
If I could talk, I would sigh. Instead of that though, I grab the knife in my boot, and throw it at the guy, and it lands in his head.
Damn! My aim is better than I thought! That'll come in handy.
"I had that!" Jimmy says as he pushes the corpse off him and grabs his discarded weapon. I stand up and shoot a couple extra men, but their bullets get too close to my head and I duck back down.
I turn my head to see Henry taking care of some of the men on his side, and I also notice the bartender slowly standing up saying something.
Oh Shit. This guy's a fucking idiot. I grab his shirt and pull him down before he gets shot. He screams, and passes out. I check his pulse and he's still alive, but seriously scared as he then pisses his pants.
Ehh... He'll live.
Jimmy jumps on the counter and takes of the men in front of us, and I jump over the counter, clearing a safe passage for Henry to go through. But my gun clicks after three shots, and its empty. I quickly switch guns, and i clear out the hallway, but when I turn around to give Henry the signal to follow me, he gets tackled by a goon. I aim to shoot at the man, but hear yelling coming at me, and I realize it's a man running at me.
I didn't turn in time to shoot me, and he pins me against the wall. Due to the amount of force he used on me, I drop my guns, and begin hitting his back with my elbow. It has a little effect, but once he loosens his grip on me, he just hoists me over his shoulder.
I'm not a sack of freaking potatoes asswipe!
I manage to get my feet against the wall and with all my strength in my legs, I push off which causes him to stagger backwards, and his feet trip on something and we fall backwards. Well... He does. I do a face plant. I manage to get free of his hold as he head hits the ground hard. While he is dazed, I search for my gun, and I see it under a tipped over barstool.
Before he recovered, I stand up, and grab my gun and shoot him in the head.
At this time, I hear Jimmy screaming something, I look to him and he's running back from behind the bar and stands on the counter, holding a bottle of some kind of alcohol with a rag in it that's already on fire.
"Alright! Lets burn this motherfucker do-" He stops and I quickly figure out why. At first I didn't notice them, but I see two women standing in front of him, one in a black shiny suit pointing a gun at Henry who is on the ground, and the other is holding a katana sword wearing a simple black dress with a heart shaped cut-out in the front. The one holding the gun points it at me as the other one starts running after Jimmy as he says sorry, drops the explosive bottle, and runs to a back room.
I put my hands up showing that I didn't mean any harm to her. She points her gun to someone else as they come from the hallway. I see someone behind her, and on instinct, I shoot them, and cover her and Henry as I see three more goons. Henry finds a gun and runs down the hallway, shooting everyone in front of him. Not wasting anytime, I follow him, and together we kill around five other men, before he runs into another, where I see an overweight man in a speedo on his knees, in front of another one in a brown leather jacket and a red turtleneck. Henry is obviously too intuned in their conversation, so I cover him when more men come at us. But only got two bullets out before I realize that I emptied out my clips. I bring my tactical knife out and throw it one mans head, and I run to fight the other two.
I wait for them to approach me, but when they're ten feet away from me, I run and slide under their feet, and grab the knife from the first guys head, and I throw it again, this it landed in one of heir chests, and they fall to the ground. I take the dead guys gun and shoot the last man as he runs from me in fear.
Are you serious? Is this really the kind of men that Akan hires to take me back and kill Henry? Seriously, he needs to view resumes better.
Speaking of Akan I can hear his voice. Shit!
I see the door that Henry was at is now closed... With Henry inside. I quickly run to the door, and kick it, trying to break it down. I hear a woman screaming and suddenly, a completely nude woman runs out, and the door is open. I use this opportunity to enter. I didn't get a good look at the scene, so I just trusted my instincts on what I saw, which was Henry pinned against the wall in midair, and Akan using his abilities to do so.
I run to him and tackle him to the ground, making him release Henry. I manage to get the advantage, and I pin his aroma down with my knees, and I hit him many times in the face, giving Henry time to escape. But before I knew it, I was on the ceiling, and Henry was instantly pushed into a vent. Akan doesn't pay attention to me, he just looks to Henry hanging onto dear life.
But he lets go. Oh god, please don't let this be for nothing. Please let him be ok.
I squirm against the ceiling, but slowly, I descend, and I realize that Akan was standing right below me, ready to grab me. Shit! When he finally got his hands on my arms, I stood frozen, waiting for him to speak or do something.
"Why did you leave Raven when I told that you couldn't?!" He yelled at my face, shaking my shoulders. I did nothing but listen to what he said. Or rather yelled. "You could've died! My men don't know how to listen for shit, and they could've killed like the rest of the whores in this place!"
At this time I heard Jimmys voice.
"Henry?! Raven?!" I heard him bust open the door, and there he stood with two shotguns in his hands. "What the hell happened?!"
"Ah... Jimmy." Akan said before using his abilities to grab Jimmy the neck and hold him in midair. He started gasping for air, struggling to stay alive and conscious. I immediately start beating against Akans chest, but it was hard to do that as he still had my arms in a tight grip. He lost his concentration on Jimmy and let him, or his body fall to the ground. He let me go, and went to Jimmys body, hoisting it over his shoulder. At this time, I quickly went back to the ceiling.
He turned and looked at me, a wide grin on his face. "You're not leaving me again Raven." He turned to the airduct Henry went down. Apparently, Akan could still see him. If he was still in the airduct listening to Akan scream at me, or if he was waiting for me and Jimmy to come down after him, I didn't know. All I knew that I was stuck to a ceiling.
Akan screamed at Henry, before sending Jimmys body down the vent next. Akan let me go, harshly, and I fell to the floor faster than I thought.
I got up, and escaped his grasp as he tried to grab my arm. He tried again, and I managed to punch him in the face, keeping him dazed for a second before making a really dumb decision, to find Henry; I ran to the airduct, going head first, and fell to the concrete faster than Akan could grab me. I hear him call my name, but it was already too late as I had made it to the parking garage faster than he wanted.
But... Holy fucking hell! That was a fucking forty foot drop... And I'm pretty sure I broke my arm. I looked up and saw Henry coming over to me. We couldn't communicate, due to the fact that the phone we had earlier is still in the room where I first found him. He touches my broken arm, silently asking me if I had broken it. I nod. He grabs it in a gentle grip at the elbow, and grabs my wrist and pulls it straight.
Holy hell! It straightened it out, but, Oh. My. Fucking. God it hurt.
I shake it off, nodding my thanks to Henry as we stand up, and start making our way to where to cars. We find a couple automatic pistols and heavy assault rifles. I grab the twin pistols and Henry settles on the rifle. We grab the clips, and we then hear Jimmys voice again. We turn, and we see another Jimmy, but with longer hair, and a dark blue headband.
Great. A hippie Jimmy. Damn! How is it he keeps reappearing after he dies?
Question that will really need an answer as soon as we get the hell out of dodge.
As we walk towards him, I smell something very... Earthy. But not in a good way. Its fucking weed! JIMMY!
I also notice that one of the men that I guess this new Jimmy took down, was alive. Heavy beaten and severely wounded, but still breathing. Honestly this guy got the better treatment compared to the guys upstairs.
With my foot, I roll him to his back, and I kneel down to pick him up slightly and I sit him against the large black SUV. I was getting ready to beat a question out of him, when Jimmy stopped me.
"Hey hey. Chill out. Calm down Raven. Cool your nerves, and just keep calm." He says as he pulls out a what I assume is a joint.
Is he seriously telling me to calm down after, both Henry and myself just took a forty foot drop on nothing but concrete, having men shooting at us, and getting the hell beat out of us?!
Its official. Jimmys fucking crazy.
Truly sorry for the wait. But thanks for reading! And I shall be back with more soon!
