Chapter 3: Troubled
"YOUR SISTER?" Matt exclaimed as he paced in her living room. After a big reunion and an exchange of phone numbers Chris drove back to her house much to Alex's disapproval, Chris had to explain how Matt would be worried and Alex reluctantly agreed, still not used to the fact that there is another person who Chris held dear.
"I know it was a surprise to me as well" Chris shrugged as she was in her kitchen making them both tea.
"And she just happens to be the leader of the Saints" Matt continues to frail his arms around at the discovery.
"Yeah, I'm not entirely sure how that happened, something about treachery or something like that" Chris shrugged as she set the tray holding the tea down on her coffee table.
"And you seem extremely calm about it" Matt accused as he watched her sit down in front of him.
"Well, all my excitement, shock and horror was expressed when she turned up at my door, I don't have enough enthusiasm anymore" she shrugged again.
Matt sighed before sitting down next to her and putting an arm around her shoulder, "you'no she could take you away from me"
"She's my sister Matt, besides if she wanted to she could have held me prisoner at their HQ earlier"
"What about the Syndicate? They might take you away from me, and yes I know I'm part of the Syndicate but Killbane, he's gone insane he killed Kiki! Right in front of her sister! And they were on our side! And as much as I hate the Saints I don't want the same thing to happen to you! What if he takes you away and then to get back at that, infuriating woman" Chris giggled at the description Matt gave her sister.
"I don't want Killbane to kill you in front of me, or your sister" Matt said with concern lining his voice.
"He won't, I can take care of myself you know" Chris grinned like a Cheshire cat making Matt chuckle in return.
"Yeah well, anyway, I wanted to ask you something I've been pondering ever since you told me how brilliant your sister was all those years ago, why didn't you go back to Stillwater?" He asked having calmed down a little, still worried about his girlfriend but he tried to put his brilliant mind on a different matter.
"Oh trust me I fully intended on it when I moved out of that brothel, you'no what happened next" Matt nodded.
"You got into the job of carjacking and got enough money to rent an apartment?"
"Yup, once I got that apartment I started saving all my left over money I got after paying bills and food and what not to leave Steelport forever, but when that comic shop opened and I decided to check it out, my discovery of the comic Eternal Darkness erased my funds and my obsession began, plus I met yo-"
"You met a rather handsome guy with epic comic taste and flawless hair" Matt boasted as he leant back on the sofa so that his head was now on the arm rest and he cheekily propped his feet up onto her lap.
"I guess he did have epic comic taste I'll give you that, but flawless hair? It always looked greasy! It still does! Do you ever wash it?"
Matt's grin instantly disappeared as he looked at Chris with a frustrated expression.
"Of course I wash my hair often! I just may sometimes not wash my hair because I hardly ever go out" Matt folded his arms as Chris giggled.
"Well, what was your first impression of me?" Chris asked as she sat back and rested her hands on Matt's legs that were still placed across her lap.
"I thought you were a really pretty girl and one that I could share my obsession on Nyte Blayde with"
"That's a pathetic lie" Chris poked him in the stomach earning a surprised look in return.
"How?"
"When we first met you thought I was a boy, so if you thought I was pretty then I'm guessing you were gay" Chris grinned seeing Matt blush in embarrassment.
"I wasn't gay! But honestly you did look like a guy, especially since you were into comics and games, you don't get many girls like that" Matt suddenly hosted a mischievous grin, "besides, you especially would know first-hand that I'm not gay"
Chris suddenly went quiet as she stared at the floor with a deep blush before scowling at him, "kissing alone does not prove to me that you're not gay"
"Surely it does, or are you hinting that you want more than just a kiss?" Matt suddenly sat up and leaned closer to her till she could feel his breath on his lips making her own breath hitch slightly.
"If you're trying to be seductive it's not working" Chris stated though he still wore that smirk.
"Then where did this deep blush come from hmm?" He whispered as he stroked her cheek with the back of his hand.
Before Chris could retort he suddenly tackled her so she was lying down with him straddling her whilst yelling "TICKLE FIGHT" jamming his fingers into her sides and laughing as she immediately started to spasm.
"That's...not...fair!" Chris squealed in between breathes as she was forced to laugh historically and almost painfully.
"Say you submit" Matt demanded as he continued his relentless torture upon his victim, almost immediately she was shouting she submitted and he stopped, smiling down at the still laughing girl beneath him.
He chuckled before leaning down close to her face so that their foreheads were touching and just staring into her deep brown eyes.
"I hate you" Chris let out after calming down.
"I like you too" Matt replied before she gave him a quick kiss.
"Burgh, the tea's gone cold because of you"
"I'm sorry dearest, I shall go make another!" Matt sarcastically said before jumping up and heading to her kitchen with the mugs in hand.
It was good that they enjoyed their time together while it lasted. Because things were about to become, well, A bit of a complication.
"Pastaaaaa~" Alex's voice sung as she grabbed the packet from out of the cupboard and prepared her meal.
It has been 3 weeks since the reunion with her sister and ever since the two have been catching up and having fun, even with 5 years apart things just seemed natural and not one day went by without them texting or calling each other. Kinzie took to Chris immediately as she was the only one apart from Oleg that she could talk to about computers and all those big ridiculous words that Alex didn't understand and the only thing Kinzie didn't like about her was that she was dating her arch nemesis. Pierce wasn't convinced at first seeing as she was so young and being Matt's girlfriend and kept on saying that he didn't trust her but by the 3rd week he started to relax around her, laughing when he made her try Saints Flow for the first time and seeing her face cringe had made his day. She didn't see much of Zimos, only when he was getting the boss's opinion on the latest hookers. Oleg also took to her almost immediately, to Chris he was like a big bear, big and tough but also huggable and since Chris was so small he liked to pick her up when she tried to play tough girl in front of him, which happened on their first meeting. Chris didn't see much of Angel either; he didn't pop up to the HQ very often. Shaundi didn't like Chris however, always stating to the other members that she wasn't trust worthy and how she was keeping the Boss from their objective which was to get vengeance for Johnny and that absolutely meant so much to her at that moment, and then Shaundi just decided to screw everything up.
"I love pasta and cheese" Alex stated whilst she handed Chris a bowl and plonked on the sofa in front of the big TV.
"I know this" Christ stated.
Suddenly a loud bang echoed through the HQ as the bowl Chris was holding smashed making her yelp in surprise.
"What the actual fuck Shaundi" Alex shouted seeing said person with a gun in her hand looking pissed.
"Why the fuck is she still here? She was here yesterday" Shaundi shouted in her pissed tone.
"She slept over by my orders stop being a pissing bitch" Alex calmly said back, defending her poor scared sister.
"I can't believe you! You're hanging out with a sister you haven't seen in years who's dating the very guy who we are going to kill!" She screamed.
"Wait what? You're going to KILL Matt?" Chris's eyes widened as she looked at Alex with shock,"I knew you guys hated each other but murder?! He's fucking 16! Same as me!"
"Chris you don't understand, he's part of the Syndicate, you'no what the Syndicate did? They killed my best friend!"
"You thought I was dead! I don't see you going around avenging my death!"
"You're the whole reason I joined the Saints in the first fucking place!"
"You plan on murdering a teenager!"
"You think I haven't killed before? Buzz! Wrong! I have Chris, plenty of times and after so many deaths you tend to not give a fuck about who they are and how old they are, so you wanna know why I'm so determined to kill your little fuck buddy?! 5 words kid! I. Don't. Give. A. Fuck." Alex yelled back at her making Chris go silent.
In silence Chris got up as stormed her way to the elevator, stepping in, and pressing a button. Before the doors fully closed shut she screamed in frustration, "I'm a fucking virgin!"
Alex glared at the elevators closed doors in utter silence before Shaundi commented.
"Well at least that tramps gone and we can get on with our revenge" in a rage Alex punched Shaundi in the jaw so fast that she fell back and landed on the floor clutching the new pain that emerged.
"Don't you fucking say a word you slut!" Alex growled before picking the fearful Shaundi up by the collar and shoving her into a nearby wall with such force Shaundi felt the air being forced out of her lungs, the boss might be skinny but fuck she was strong,"can you not just think about yourself for once in your life? Yes! Johnny's fucking dead we all fucking mourned him! Just because you may not have seen my tears doesn't mean they don't exist! I've cried for fucking years! Chris, Lin, Aisha, Carlos and Johnny, all of them took a piece of my heart with them! And when I finally found someone who hadn't gone and died on me you fucking think of your selfish needs and ruin everything!" Alex shouted loud and clear so that Shaundi felt fear somewhere in her gut that she hadn't felt in a long time,"sometimes, I wish I never recruited you" Alex whispered before shoving her back into the wall and storming up to her master bedroom leaving Shaundi to stare at the ground.
"Johnny" she whispered to herself, flinching slightly hearing things smash upstairs,"I'm still useless" she slid down the wall before sitting down and hugging her knees, resting her head on them.
Shaundi's shoulders began to shake violently as she let the tears run and her sobs were the only thing that could be heard throughout the HQ.
Chris sat in her bedroom in silence, not particularly doing anything just sitting there, staring at the carpet beneath her feet. She was lost, what was she supposed to do? Alex was her family and although it would be getting vengeance for her best friend it will cause Chris to lose her own. Matt was the best thing that happened to her ever since she got stuck in Steelport, he helped her get a house when he joined the Syndicate which she was relieved to get out of that crappy apartment and no matter what the Syndicate asked of him he always managed to find time to spend with her. He stuck by her when she suffered from depression and listened when she blubbered all her feelings and opinions about anything, and now her own sister wanted to kill him?
Chris jumped when she heard her cell phone ring and looked at the contact calling.
"Matt" she muttered to herself as the phone kept ringing, she hesitated before deciding to answer it,"hello"
"Hey, guess who!"
"Your face popping up on my phone sorta gave it away Matt"
"That's where you are wrong my dear! For I am the CARDINAL and I have kidnapped your handsome lover" Chris couldn't help a giggle escape her lips as she leant back and flopped on the bed so she was now lying down.
"I'm sorry you have the wrong person, I don't have a lover"
"Uh! You wound me my dearest"
"Matt stop with the Shakespearean talk, what does thy want with one such as thy self?"
"I'm sorry must there be a purpose for calling my girl?"
"Well usually your coming up with some master plan to take down the Saints or something"
"Hmm true, but I honestly called to check on your well being"
"Well that's the first"
"No its not! I've called you many times on behalf of your general health"
"Anyway, Matty remember when you asked me to join your gang and I declined?"
There was a bit of a silence before Matt replied,"I don't like where this is going"
"Can I join now?"
"You've had a tiff with your sister"
"What?"
"It's pretty obvious, one moment you are happy to be reunited and you find out she's the leader of the gang us Decker's are out to get and then you ask me to let you join my gang" Matt stated in a matter of fact tone, Chris was like a goldfish, opening and shutting her mouth, thinking of something to say but then thinking it's a bad idea, "Listen, all as well I hate your sister but she is your family, proper family who care about you, right now you're angry because you had an argument and you're going through the stage of making rash decisions which I know you're going to regret later, so how about you calm down a bit and we'll talk about this later?"
Chris huffed before replying, "fine"
"Trust me, I know you better than you know yourself sometimes"
"Hmmmmm"
"Anyway I was wondering we haven't spent much time together lately, Killbane's really pushing me ever since Philip died, but maybe next week you would like to go to the Cinema?"
Chris smiled to herself, she had told Matt multiple times before and after they started going out that she knew his involvement with the Syndicate meant they would hardly see each other and that she didn't mind as long as he stayed in touch now and then, but he always made an effort to get some time off for her.
"Sure Matt, as long as it's not bothering your work"
"Course it isn't, well next week it i-" a loud alarm rang throughout the Decker's HQ and Chris could hear it loud and clear through the phone, or the Bluetooth headset Matt always wore.
"What's happening?" Chris shouted but got no response other than people speaking in the background.
"Matt! The Saints has broken in we need to get you out of here!"
"What! Oh god they're after the Nemo chair, everyone pay attention!" Chris could hear Matt's distressed voice," the Saints cannot and will not get their hands on this chair! If you cannot protect it, destroy it! Do I make myself clear" a faint mumble was heard through the phone as Chris listened closely.
"Chris?" Matt's voice was now loud and clear.
"Mathew, what's wrong?"
"It's the Saints, I'm sorry I have to go but don't be surprised if I turn up at your door, remember the Nemo chair we put in your basement?"
"Yes?"
"I may have to use it"
"But you said it was damaged and if you tried to use it, it would glitch and leave you brain dead"
"I know, do you think you could tinker with it? Maybe we can get it going again" Matt asked. Chris sighed, knowing deep in her gut it was going to end badly.
"I'll try"
"Thank you, I really have to go bye"
"Bye" Chris hung up and sat up, hesitating before looking out the window. Sure enough a Saints helicopter was hovering over one of the nuclear tube things, "Alex what are you planning"
please REVIEW! thanks :)
