Author's note: I'm back! Sorry I took quite sometime with this chapter, but have no fear, Dante is here! Haha, yes corny, throw tomatoes at me later in the reviews or something okay? I think we got somewhere with that little bonding Alex and Jack went through together alone in detention, we even got a front seat view of Adam Shepherd's "parenting method's". I know I've been gone for a couple of days, forgive me. But I'm back now, and now to fulfill your reading pleasures. My credits go out to: Mayura-Hikari-090 for being a constant reader of this story and of course Liquid for helping me work out the kinks of the plot as the story goes on. Mayura, I'm glad you find Jack intriguing. I try my best to make him like that so it can catch people's eye, I will not make him like any mary sue OC…or hope I don't make him like any other mary sue. Do me a favor, Mayura-Hikari-090...please try to get others of this site to read up on this story. If it's interesting to you, then try to share it with others! It would make me so happy. Ok, onto business; The disclaimer; I do not own Silent Hill, Konami, and Double Helix. Now that that's out of the way, lets get down to this nice little piece here! If I'm able to not be so sleepy after this chapter, I might do another one on the same night. Lets hope, shall we? Happy reading.
Chapter V: Take me
Friday night. One of the most exciting things a Shepherd can do on a Friday night? The answer to that is…homework! And lots of it, thanks to Ms. Henderson and Mr. Malone. It took him about an hour an a half to finish the whole thing due to him procrastinating and taking little breaks to just steer his mind away from the complicated math problems and the boring history document based questions, a.k.a. DBQ's. Now all Alex was doing at the moment was lay down in the middle of his room, really enjoying the company of the rug he's laying on and the No. 2 pencil that he's idly twirling between his fingers while just staring up at the ceiling fan. One word to sum up what he was going through; boredom. A small sigh left Alex's lips as he continued to stare up the fan.
'Ahh, goddamn it…I'm so freakin' bored. Would it kill dad to just let me off this stupid punishment anytime soon? I dunno, maybe in a minute or so? I'm missing Sopranos right now…' thought Alex, as he stopped twirling the pencil to start twirling it again, except backwards now. It's not that Alex was passionate about missing the life of Tony Soprano or anything like that, but he hated being isolated in his room with nothing to do. Forced to be a prisoner in his own room, since the two won't disown him for some odd reason they had chose to ground him for his little brawl Monday. Still grounded on a Friday night too, major bummer. Alex then slowly shut his lids closed as he started to think about Elle, after that Monday the entire week went smoothly for them. Especially since Alex did everything he could to get her to forget about Charlie Miller, and it worked. With at some points a little added help from their new friend, Jack.
Now all he thought about is what she was doing at the moment, was she watching the Sopranos with Nora? Was she just relaxing to her favorite songs? Or was she thinking about him just like he's thinking about her? So many questions popped into his head and all he could do was ponder about it. He could always call, start up their little nightly phone calls a bit early. It was only 7:30PM, Alex judged as he opened up one eye to look up at the clock on the wall.
"Hmm…I guess one call wouldn't hurt." Alex said as he sat up and toss the pencil near the finished assignments towards the end of the rug. Crawling over to the back of the room he fished through the drawers of the desk for where he hid his cellphone that he stole back from his father upon his grounding. Finding it under a notebook he pulled it out and instantaneously flipped it open, already skimming through his contact list for Elle. Now after making the call he'd lean against the desk's side and wait anxiously for an answer. But instead of her usual voice, he hears a dark, anonymous, machine like voice on the other end.
The voice answers saying. "Ah, you finally called. A bit too late for my taste…" The second he heard that it made the hairs on the back of his neck rise and his blood boiled, out of confusion and fear for Elle's safety.
"What the hell? Who is this?! Where's Elle?!" Alex said almost yelling into the cell, he tried to maintain a softer yet angry voice because he doesn't want his father walking in on him using his cellphone that he stole back. It would only add onto his groundings. The voice chuckled and sighed from Alex's initial response, it was so expected from him.
"One question at a time, Shepherd. Elle is such a beautiful girl, and so is her sister…it's a shame that her little sister won't grow up to be anything she dreams of now. It's a damn shame…" The voice said void of any emotion since it wasn't even a human voice. 'A freakin' voice changer, figures…fucking coward…' thought Alex as he had to sit here and listen to this bull. Standing up straight he looked out at the window as if he was staring directly at the eyes of the Holloway sisters captor or captors.
"Listen to me you sick fuck, don't play games with me! Where are they?!" Alex demanded as he gripped his phone tightly, trying his best to stay calm and not blow up.
"Well since I am such a nice guy, I'll tell you where I am. And yes, where my precious little pets are too. Go north into the woods, you know? The woods closest to Toluca lake? That one. If you keep going north you'll reach a ravine, go down the ravine and then continue heading north. You should come across a large abandoned warehouse, there will be people outside guarding the area. If you should come across a sentry that won't let you in, tell them the password; I'm Redgrave's savior. That's it." The voice said nailing out the whole nine yards, location, description, everything.
Alex's instincts had told him it was a trap, it was way too convenient. But who could have set this up? Could it have been the jocks? No. They're to stupid to do something so complex and so out of hand, kidnapping Elle and her sister. But why him? Why not the police or even his dad himself? He knows for sure that his father has made a lot of enemies by putting people in the slammer. Why? It didn't make any sense, he could have said Charlie would do it. He was rich enough to afford people like this to kidnap and do stuff, plus he's spoiled. Maybe? Who knows, all that mattered was getting Elle and her sister safe. With or without his father's help. The last thing he needs is police to swarm the place then for the kidnapper to kill them and move on, he'll have to do everything himself.
"Alright, but know this. If your looking for some kind of pay off, some kind of ransom or anything like that? I don't have it. But you'll get is your worse nightmare, that's what I can give you. If you let Elle and her sister go right now, it will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't…I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you…" Alex said grimly into the phone, the voice on the other side paused for a second to take that threat in. Boy did he have potential, he will enjoy this game of cat and mouse. The person behind this heinous act was smirking and taking a deep breath.
"You know, I can't wait to see you try. But till then, Alexander Shepherd…I'll be here, waiting for you…" The voice said, hanging up on him. Alex stayed there for a minute taking in the moment, everything he just heard and said was set in stone. This was a promise that he'll make and keep, if he finds him, he will kill him. He have never killed before, but if it's to ensure Elle and her sister's safety from some sick psycho playing a game as if he was some bootleg version of Jigsaw or something. He was wrong, dead wrong.
Still standing there he took a deep breath and shoved the phone into his pocket, right when he did that the door opened up and it was Josh with a tray of tonight's dinner. It was for Alex, since he was forbidden to eat at the table with everyone else due to him being grounded. Whenever he's grounded it's like he didn't exist, but the only one who defies that rule to this day is little Joshua.
Walking towards where Alex stood, Josh would plant the tray onto the desk and blow onto his alphabet chicken noodle soup. Making sure it wasn't extremely hot, he knows that Alex hates it when it's boiling hot. Now finished blowing he'd wave his hand around over it acting as a fan, looking over his shoulder he'd look up at his older brother who was like in a statuesque state.
"Phew, dinner's ready! Sorry I took so long, I had to wait till mom and dad went to the den to watch T.V., and since there was no leftovers I made you some soup! I used the last can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup to do so, it took me a while to open the stupid can but I did it! And then don't even ask about the microwave…ugh, well I made it special for you. I hope you like it." Josh said with a big smile on his face as he stepped away from the plate and wiped the sweat off of his brow from the steaming hotness of the soup. But he also noticed that Alex didn't respond, he still stood there, staring off into space.
"Huh? Alex?" Josh tilted his head slightly to the right as he stepped in front of him and tugged on the hinge of his shirt, to wake him from his little trance. "Alex? You ok?"
Alex snapped himself awake to the calling of his brother's voice and the sudden aroma of chicken noodle soup behind him, "Huh? Oh…sorry, squirt."
Taking a quick turn around to see the bowl of soup made specially for him he looked back down at his brother and feigned a smile to make things look like everything was ok, even ruffling his hair like he always does.
"Thanks Josh. I was kinda hungry, but can you do me a favor?" Alex said, Josh's ears perked at attention to this. "Can you go watch some t.v. with mom and dad? I gotta finish my homework." Alex said with a roll of his eyes, knowing that Josh knows that he hates doing homework but he has to unless he wants to hear it from his dad tonight. Seeing this Josh nodded his head and smiled up at home once more.
"Ok! I'll see you a little bit later then!" Josh said excitedly as he raced over to the den with intent to watch his little cartoons, usually Alex would debate why kids would watch Cartoon Network anymore? It's not as good as it used to be, now there were just random flicks that was actually capable of making his brother and many others laugh. But now wasn't the time for that, he was just so angry and desperate right now. One thought that did skip around in his head was how he was able to keep so calm in front of his brother? Answers later, now find the Holloway sisters!
Heading over to his bed, he picked up the old military angle head flashlight that his father gave Alex and Josh when they were little as a little souvenir when he retired from the Green Berets. It's going to be dark in those woods so he's going to need it. He'd quickly turn it on and off just to check if it still worked, which it did. Putting that in his pocket he'd walk down the stairs as quietly as he could to not alarm the rest of his family who happily watched T.V. without a care in the world. When he finally got to the front door he contemplated on which jacket to take with him. He stared up at his own coat and his father's old military khaki field jacket, the one with the American flag and the Green Beret's patches sewn on. His coat wasn't warm enough since the temperatures was dropping down more and more nowadays, his father's old jacket was just right.
As much shit his father give him daily, the strife and the grief, Alex still didn't hate him. Also he still admired Adam secretly with his services and experiences in the Army, especially getting to be a colonel and a Green Beret to boot. He never told anyone, not even his own brother, that he also when old enough wants to join the Army and try to shoot to be like his father. No, better then his father. Maybe he'll win his respect and love, plus; it was always what his father wanted for him anyway. He was his little soldier, and still is.
Taking a deep breath he took the field jacket off of the hook and put it on, zipping it shut. It was a little bit, just a little bit big on him but he could manage. He even fitted the flashlight onto the chest pocket of the coat just to make things more easier for him to reach and use, next he searched the pockets of his father's other coat that hung there as well, his Sheriff's jacket for the carkeys. Grabbing them he'd quickly leave the house, closing the door behind him and proceeding into the car.
"Don't worry, Elle. I'm coming for you…" Alex said as he put the keys into the ignition and drove off, leaving his house and racing down the street. His destination, the woods. Phew, Alex is going to be in trouble when he gets back. One, he stole his cellphone back. Two, he left the house without permission. Three, he stole his old military jacket. Four, he pretty much took his car without even asking him. He's a deadman when he gets back. But does he care? Nope. Not right now, the only two people in his mind right now is Elle and Nora. This psycho wants to play a game? Well he chose the wrong person.
------
After a half an hour or so, Josh went back into the room where him and Alex share. Stretching his arms out and yawning, ready to crash for the night.
"Ahh, man…what a night. Did you like the sou--?!" Josh stopped in mid-sentence as he opened his eyes and noticed that Alex was gone. Shocked he looked all-over the house without alerting his parents or anything, coming back to his room he sighed and went over to the desk where the soup he made for him hasn't even been touched. Staring down at it he sighed and took a sip of it himself, with the words of the alphabet noodles bubbling up to the surface reading out the words 'I care Alex' floating around.
He really did made the soup special for him to show him that he does care for him, earlier in the week Alex was really down in the dumps. Josh already knew the problem, he may be eight but he isn't stupid. So he made him the soup to show that if mom or dad doesn't show him love, he will. That's what brothers are for. It's a shame that Alex didn't get to see it though. Did he run away? No way! Alex would never do such a thing, he's strong, he wouldn't stoop so low. Would he?
"Alex…" Josh whispered as he twirled the spoon around in the bowl of cold soup, his little moment was thwarted when the sudden loud yell of his father boomed throughout the entire house. Josh turned his head to look outside the door and listened into the conversation.
"He finally did it, Lillian! He took the 'vette! He took the fuckin' 'vette!!! Wait till he gets home!" Yelled Adam, Lillian tried to calm him down but Adam was just too mad.
"Calm down?! No, no, no! First he starts some big fight, then he steals his phone back, now he commits Grand Theft Auto?! No! Not in my house!!!" After that there was a lot of mumbling and tiny voices, must have been his mom. Slowly Josh poked his head out of the open doorway and continued to listen in.
"Argh! Fine, fine, I'll let this one slip. If he does this again, I'm putting his sorry little ass in jail! Son or not. But don't think he won't get out of this one without scratches or bruises, but…if he scratches the 'vette then that's a different story!" He yelled before storming down the hallway, Josh quickly ran into his bottom bunk bed and laid there, pretending to be asleep. Good call because Adam was about to check on Josh to see if he was asleep. Nodding his head at seeing his good son sleeping, he turned off the lights and shut the door.
Josh waited a little bit before he opened his eyes and sat up, reaching out for his Robbie doll. Hugging the pink rabbit close to his slender form he'd think about the welfare of his older brother; silently praying for his safety.
"Alex…please don't do anything stupid…"
The holder of that unknown voice leaned back onto his large leather chair stretching his arms out and yawning, it was going to be a long night waiting for Alex to show. The man was in a office within the large warehouse, in there was the necessity of what a office or what a crime lord needed. A large desk, a pool table in the corner, the works. On the desk there laid: Elle's cellphone, a tiny voice changer, stacks of papers, pens, a couple of stacks of money that probably added to ten thousand, and tiny bags of white powder which was sorted into cocaine and the other bags contained a rarer drug; White Claudia.
Sitting back deeper into the comfortable chair he'd plant his hands onto his chest and stare up at the clock wondering what should he do? He was just so bored. He would read a book and actually preoccupy himself with studying or just plain reading but, there was so much loud rap and hip-hop music blasting through the shut door. He wouldn't be able to concentrate with the intensified base and bumps of the music, plus the random times when the multiples of people who were partying downstairs were either cheering or screaming out loud party noise. It was a jungle down there, and this male preferred to stay here then out there.
So to down his boredom he grabbed the cellphone and looked through it once more, finding cute pictures of her and Alex together whenever they had their little hangouts. A tiny smile cracked at how cute they were together, it almost made it sick to his stomach to lie to him. But it was almost as funny to do so, knowing how easily it was for him to believe it. Alex was so easy to lure. A hunter doesn't go for the kill if it proves to be troublesome, to take down someone you must go for the heart then the rest will come along for the ride. It worked against Alex, so it must be true.
As he continued to look through the cellphone at the two happy teens, there was a knock on the door that perked the male's attention. "Boss, there's someone at the door for you." Said a gruff voice from behind the stained glass frame of the door.
With a irritated grunt he sighed and nodded his head, not even bothering to look up from the cellphone. "Tell them they can come in." A familiar cockney accented voice, coming from the male on the chair not really wanted to be bothered but had no choice.
The door opened and the presence of someone was known, it was a woman. He didn't have to look up from his phone to know so, the click clacking of stiletto heels was a dead giveaway. The British male didn't make any acknowledgment towards the lady who just shut the door behind herself and strutted to the desk where he sat. She spoke up, if her presence didn't take him out of the attention of that phone maybe her voice would.
"Hey…" The meek soft spoken woman said, quickly catching the black haired male attention.
His eyes switched from the phone onto the woman before him. She was standing in front of his desk with a brown trench coat, buttoned and wrapped up by a the coat's belt and stiletto heels, for once this had surprised him in the day other then Alex's death threat. The woman standing before him wouldn't be wearing such heels, or a trench coat for that matter. It only makes him wonder what is under that coat.
"Yuki? What are you doing here?! You know you can't be here…" Said the male as he got up and slowly walked around his desk, staring over at her.
Yuki Tachibana was the daughter of the infamous, Kazuya Tachibana; the founder of the Tachibana Zaibatsu and behind the scenes, the 'Oyabun' or the Boss of the Black Lotus mafia. Reigning straight from South Ashfield, years ago they used to be around Silent Hill and Brahms but because of the fire that took place within the town it got too hot to be over there. Especially because at the following locations such as crime scene itself, Balkan church, Alchemilla Hospital, the Green Lion Antiques shop, the Church of the Holy Way, and the Norman Motel as hot spots for where the White Claudia drug-trafficking was discovered. All because of the attention from a little girl's fatal burning and the business partners of Dr. Michael Kaufman and the Black Lotus were involved with; The Order. The Order screwed up big time with that little ritual, so because of that it wasn't safe for the mafia to be there anymore so they had to sever there business ties with Kaufman and split. So ever since then the Black Lotus kept their location, strictly in South Ashfield instead but close enough to keep supplying the Order to this day with White Claudia.
Yuki couldn't be there because she simply wasn't allowed to leave Ashfield at all, Kazuya kept a tight leash around his beautiful daughter. The only reason this male knows and is involved with her was because of the multiple business deals that Shepherd's Glen's current crime syndicate; The Moretti crime family. This male's position was Consigliere which was the Don's right-hand man, or second-in-command so it made it easier to date Kazuya's daughter since well, the Moretti and the Black Lotus are allies.
She felt paralyzed to the ebony haired stare, but the usually reserved girl held her coat to her chest and looked down at her heels avoiding those emerald hues of his, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't stand not being with you anymore…I miss you…" Yuki admitted with her voice getting more softer by the second due to embarrassment, also due to her cheeks reddening like a tomato.
Even so the male wasn't affected by such words, though it did make him wonder about what those words mean to him. As he pondered he walked over to the front of his desk and sat down, still staring over at her.
"Really? My dear, Yuki…you really have turned into a naughty girl. Does your father know you're here?" The male taunted with a slyness sensed in his tone of voice. Yuki rolled her eyes and stepped a little bit closer to him, still gripping her coat.
"Well no…but it's ok, I told him I was staying over a friend's. Just please…let me stay with you. I want to show you how much I missed you…" She offered. This intrigued him to the fullest, just how far was his little shy flower willing to go?
"Oh? Well then…show me how much you missed me. Prove it to me." He said with a low, masculine, sexy voice as he looked over at her giving off a smirk too. Not that usual cocky one, a real down and dirty provocative one; the type that gets women wet just from looking at him and thinking what he could possibly do to them. But what Yuki was about to do would ultimately shut him up, taking one deep breath she took off the coat and let it drop to her feet.
The male's eyes were widened and his own cheeks were flushed with bright tints of pink as he looked over at his Yuki in awe and with wanting, she was dressed clad in one of the sexiest black lingerie ever. Bra, boy shorts, not to mention the whole garter & stocking set. She was just goddamn sexy, there was no other words he could use to describe it. He had no idea that this dormant nympho side of her existed! He knew he corrupted her but this was just so much. Even so he couldn't stop staring, especially to the fact that her nipples were standing from the cold weather she had to endure to get here.
"Woah…" Was all he could say as his eyes were just stuck on her.
Yuki felt a little embarrassed to be in such clothing but she wanted to show how much she loved him and was willing to do for him, even if it meant this. Glancing at the side and rubbing her arms she'd continue to blush. "You're not helping with the way you keep star--!" She was interrupted when he leaped from the desk, wrapping her arms around her, with his lips pressed against hers locking her in a deep kiss.
She was shocked for a second but then slowly got into the trance he was putting on her, Yuki's lid's closed shut and she pushed him down onto the desk, immediately going over to him. Ready to be mounted, the very excited male would just shove everything off of the desk and let her crawl onto him. Once she was on top of him, he sat up just a little bit so he can start kissing her neck, trailing all the way to her earlobe; giving it a tiny lick before softly nibbling on it. Since that area was so sensitive, he could tell he was doing right when she started to breath heavily into his ear.
"Take me, Jack…I want you to be my first…" Moaned Yuki, as she went down on him returning the favor by kissing his neck. Jack the Ripper couldn't help but grin as he reached behind her back and undid her bra letting the straps fall off of her shoulders.
"With pleasure, my love…" Said Jack in pure bliss, all he hoped at the moment was that Alex would take his sweet time in getting to the Foundation so he can actually enjoy himself. 'Take your time, Alex…take your time…' thought Jack as he went forth and did his duty as a man, give his fair lady the pleasure she needed. The pleasure she thrived for, especially the pleasure of losing one's virginity. He is going to enjoy every second of this.
x- - Devil May Cry.
Author's Note: Ok, this took me longer then I thought it would. But, chapter V is done. Chapter VI will be here by later on tomorrow, it's like five 'o clock in the morning now. Sorry if the tiny love scene with Jack wasn't that descriptive. I tried my best with me being all sleepy and stuff. If there is any other love scene eventually in the story, I promise it will be at it's top best! But other then that, how'd you enjoy this little chapter hm? I had to research my ass off, like replaying Silent Hill and Silent Hill Homecoming in order to get those facts right where the Order dealt their drugs with Kauffman and all. So far I got them all right on that part. Also with the mafia terms and all too, researched that too. There is a reason I added info about both Crime families and such that has to do with the story, it isn't just to be random. You'll find out later on but for now, bare with it. Stay tuned for the next chapter where Alex finds the Foundation and demands an explanation, oh he'll get one…maybe a fight while he's at it. Will it be with Jack? Who knows, keep guessing people. Hell, I even had him wear the Homecoming outfit too! Just imagine the young Alex in the flashback within the games without the five 'o clock shadow wearing the clothes that Alex wears later on, just without the dogtags. Those will come way later. You gotta give me some credit for putting some foreshadowing into there! xD, it wasn't even in the original plan. I put it there because it would be pretty cool. I think it's cool so why not experiment? Please leave some reviews! Laters guys!!!
