Summary: Steve Fox is on the run again from the Mafia, and this time Christie runs along side with him. Will Steve stay as a fugitive or will he fight back?
Chapter Ten-Its all about the The Money
Inside a dark room, a dark-skinned man with dreadlocks sat in a chair where guys in black tuxedos surrounded the room. His eyes shifted beneath his dark shades looking at each of the guys in the room. He didn't trusted them one bit. He had no idea why there were he at his luxury mansion, but they told them their boss needed a word with him. It was about his capoeira pupil, Christie Monteiro.
Across from him sat a guy, his identity was cover in the shadows, but Eddy assumed that he was the boss.
"Mr. Gordo or mind if I call you, Eddy?" The boss started.
Eddy furrowed his eyebrows. He doesn't like it when strangers call him by his first name, even if they do know his name, but he doesn't know them. He finds it disrespectful and before he even knew Christie, he had made her call him by his surname until he felt comfortable with her calling him by his first name.
"...Your boys mentioned that you have something to tell me about Christie. Tell me so I can be on my way."
The unknown man laughed. "Impatient are we Eddy?"
"Don't call me Eddy, and yes I am very impatient. Tell me now because I have stuff to do."
"What kind of stuff Mr. Eddy?"
Eddy took off his shades, revealing his cold glare he was giving to the leader. Eddy wasn't amused by this guy humor and he was split seconds away from unleashing various of his Capoeira moves on his men and the guy himself.
"Okay, my apologizes Mr. Gordo. In all seriousness though Mr. Gordo, we do have news about your student Christie. To make a long story short, we are trying to catch a fugitive name Steve Fox, which whom you may know of because of the tournament. You see, Steve has something of ours and we want it back."
"And what does this have to do with Christie?" Eddy asked, arching his eyebrows and leaning forward on the table, cupping his hands together.
"I'm getting to that Mr. Gordo," the boss said. "Like I was saying, Steve has something of ours and we want it back. So, we have been chasing him for quite sometime now, but it seems your nosy student, Christie, has gotten involved and she is with Steve at this very moment."
"What?" The news was a surprise to Eddy. The last time he talked to Christie, she had told him she dropped out the tournament to take care of some business. "She told me she had business to take care off..."
"Well then, she must've lied to you because she been with him since they both dropped out of the tournament."
"They both left the tournament?!" The Brazilian banged his fist on the table, startling the mafia members around him. Eddy couldn't believe that Christie lied to him. She was always loyal to him and always told him everything, even if it was none of his business.
"Yeah and during the chase, we have been trying not to harm Christie because this matter doesn't include her. But as the chase continues she stays with him. We even warned her that if she stays involve, something serious can happen."
Eddy sighed and closed his eyes. He was trying not to lose his tempered about this sudden news about Christie. Just the thought of Christie with this guy, Steve, is getting him heated even more. First she drops out the tournament, second she lied to him about why she did and now he's finding out shes involve with this chase because of Steve.
He wanted to find Christie and bring her back home. Not before he takes out Steve first. Eddy heard about Steve's past during the tournaments and he immediately disliked the guy and thought he was bad news. It was bad enough that he hangs around with that red-haired thug from South Korea.
The last thing he wants to hear is Christie being kill because of Steve.
"Where is she?" Eddy opened his eyes.
"In America and as we speak, our men have found them both hiding in the Williams mansion. All we want is Steve and not Christie. So, if they do escape again, we're going to have to do something with her."
"Like what?"
The boss laughed. "Don't worry about it. You just worry about getting Christie away from Steve, okay?"
Steve and Christie were a waken by a sound of shattered glass. Just hours ago, they both fell asleep in each other arms.
"What the hell was that?" Steve asked, his blue eyes scanning around the dark room. He could hear footsteps downstairs in the mansion.
"I don't know Steve. Maybe Nina is doing some spring cleaning," Christie answered rather sleepily.
Just then gunshots were fired inside the mansion and Steve and Christie both looked at each other. "I don't think that was the sound of spring cleaning Chris."
Christie nodded agreeing with the blond. Then a sound of knocking came from Steve's door. The boxer whispered to Christie to go hide. As Christie went to go hide, Steve cautiously got out the bed and tip-toed his way to the door. He grabbed the handle and turned the knob slowly, opening the door.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nina coming in and shutting the door behind her quietly. He noticed she was wearing her purple outfit. "Mom, what's happening out there?"
"It seems your friends found you and are now attacking the mansion. I already took a few of them out, but there are more coming along the way. Quickly put something on your feet because we have to leave the mansion now," Nina explained. "Where's Christie? She's not in her-"
"I'm here Nina," Christie said coming out of the closet.
"Good." Nina then walked over to the closet where Christie was out and grabbed a black duffel bag, and tossed it to Steve. "Open it."
Steve held the bag in his hands, he glanced at Nina and then back at bag. Shrugging, Steve put the bag on the floor and zipped it opened. He dug inside the bag and his eyes lit up when he felt money. "What is it this?" Steve held out two stacks of money.
"That's the money that mafia wants. I found it after the conclusion of the fourth tournament. I went to your hotel room and was searching in your room when I saw it."
"Then lets give it back to them since you got it Steve and all of this mess can stop."
Nina shook her head. "He can't Christie. Even if he does give it back to them, Steve knows too much on whats going on and they'll kill him. He's dead either way."
"Yeah she's right Chris," Steve stood up before zipping the bag back up. "I know too much information. I have to find a way to keep the money without them knowing I have it now.
"Enough talk. We have to go now!" Just then someone wearing all black burst inside the room and Nina immediately kicked the gun out of his hand and elbowed him in the gut. Then she grabbed his head and snapped his neck within in seconds.
Christie was shocked that she saw someone killed a person with their bare hands. It was fascinating but creepy at the same time in her opinion.
"Come on you two!" Nina ran out the room with Christie and Steve following behind.
"Oh god, I knew I should of put on some pants instead of these booty shorts if I knew something like this would occur," Christie said.
"I don't mind it at all Christie. Watching your butt sway from side to side like that turns me on!" Steve grinned.
Christie glared at him and wanted to stop and slap him in the face, but she couldn't not at this moment. She'll let him slide this once.
Just as the three approached the staircase, five guys in black came from the roof and started shooting their machine guns at them. Steve and Christie ducked behind a statue, while Nina charged the five men. They kept firing at her, but none of the bullets touched her. She flipped in the air and threw three knives at the men. Each of them struck a person in their heart, head and throat. As for the other two, Nina came down and stepped on one of their heads, her sharp heels of the boot, piercing through his face. The other man wasn't so lucky when Christie came from behind the statue and kicked him down the stairs.
"Thanks," Nina smiled.
"No problem," Christie smiled back. "Come on Steve lets go."
The three ran down the stairs and were once again blocked by several of the guys in black. Steve took out them with his blazing speed and fist, while Nina killed them deadly with her hands.
"We can't go through the front door," Nina said, looking outside the window. She spotted more vehicles approaching the house and more men coming out of it. "Head to the garage."
Steve and Christie followed Nina down the basement and into her garage. Inside the garage were her sport cars and hundreds of gadgets and guns, and different types of swords. "Woah!" Steve whispered. "Mind I take some?"
"No," Nina said sternly and opening car door. "They're mine collectible items and you're too young to have one."
"What? Your three years older than me!"
"Twenty-three years older than you. Now get in!" She demanded.
Steve rolled his eyes and got in the car. Nina started the car just before more men came down in the basement and fired massive bullets at the car.
"Drive!" Christie shouted.
Nina hit the gas and burst through the garage door leaving the guys to chase them on foot. As she drove through the driveway, she ran over some on the guys before leaving the mansion.
The Nina abruptly stepped on the brakes, causing Steve to hit his head on the dashboard. "Ouch! The bloody hell mother!"
"Shush and you should have your seatbelt on in the first place." Nina then pulled out a device with a red button on it. She pressed it and a huge explosion was heard behind them.
"What the hell?!" Christie and Steve turned around and saw the whole entire mansion and area surrounding it in flames.
"Never leave evidence," Nina smirked at the two and continued to flee the scene.
"I can't take the money," Steve said giving the bag of money to Nina.
"You have to take the money Steve."
"I can't. They probably know I have the money now, if any of them survived the explosion. It's best you keep it mother."
Nina sighed and shook her head. "Steve listen to me, If I'm going to get to the bottom of this I'm going to need you to hold the money for a little while before I come up with any new information."
"I understand but do me this one favor okay? Just make copies of it alright. Then give it back to me because I have a feeling I'm going to need it soon. Very soon."
"Okay, I'll take it but call me when you need it. This has to end soon Steve. You can't stay fugitive forever and..." Nina paused and glanced over at Christie who was sleeping inside the car. "you can't have her in danger all the time. Something bad may happen to her and you will regret it for sure Steve."
Steve nodded and looked over at the car where Christie was in. "I know...and I like her."
Nina rose an eyebrow. "You like her...nevermind." Just then a helicopter came hovering over them and then a ladder came down. "Here take the car." Nina tossed the keys to her son and grabbed the ladder. "Be good."
Then the helicopter hovered up in the sky and Steve watched the helicopter take her mother wherever she was heading.
Steve went to the car and got inside the car. He glanced over at Christie and smiled at her sleeping form.
