Sorry this took so long, hope it was worth the wait. Thank you to all those reviewers who are the reason this chapter is up now, not in a few weeks. :D Enjoy!
I ran in as many alleyways as physically possible, I needed to keep out of the public eye. I was covered in weaponry, I had six butterfly knives (in different places about my person), two pistols, a taser among other things. My signature machine gun, the gun Hit Girl had given me when we finished our training, was in a large holster on my hip. One good thing about the graveyard was that it was always silent and there was no way of getting to it without using alleyways.
I arrived to find Hit Girl pacing in between crypts, "No… I didn't…" I heard her whisper, as I walked up beside her. She was playing with her butterfly knife at the same time.
"You alright?" I asked, robotically.
"Um, I-I don't know."
"Are you gonna be able to fight or not?" I asked, I'm sorry but I don't have time for this. I pleaded in my head.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She replied, returning to her usual proud self.
"Excellent." I said, turning to leave the graveyard.
We ran towards D'Amico tower, it wasn't too far from our meeting place. "What's the plan?" Hit Girl asked me, as we ran.
"Get in the tower and get info on my brother's whereabouts." I told her, as we saw the back of the tower. We knew there was no security cameras at the back of the building, in the far right corner. There was a small wall which we ran towards. We jumped onto it and I put my hand on the tower.
"And deaths?" She asked, pressing her back against the wall and pulling out a pistol.
I pulled out the machine gun, checked the ammo and reloaded. "As many as you want." She started off and I added, stopping her with the gun in my hands, "But, D'Amico's mine. Understood?"
"100 percent." She smiled and signalled me to go first. As I was about to move, I heard a twig snap in front of us.
Both me and Hit Girl turned to the noise and pointed our guns at it. "Come out, with your hands up." The phrase I used in my day job, slipped out.
Kick Ass appeared from behind a tree, with his hands up. Hit Girl immediately put her gun down and I looked at her sympathetically, not that she could tell because of my mask. "What you doing here, douche bag?" She asked, nervously.
"I thought you might need an extra pair of hands." He told me, looking past Hit Girl and obviously aggravating her.
I growled slightly, for some reason I felt the need to protect the girl. "We don't need your help, thank you."
"We need more help, who knows how many guys are in there?" Hit Girl, whispered to me.
"Fine." I growled back at her, I then looked at Kick Ass, who was shielding himself from the camera, behind a tree. "Alright, mother fucker, you can help, but stay out of my way." I snarled, imagining putting a bullet into the back of his head.
Kick Ass joined us and stood as close to Hit Girl as possible, as though she would protect him.
"How we doing this?" He whispered to Hit Girl.
"I'm thinking." I whispered.
"You don't know?" Both my companions exclaimed.
"It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing." I explained. "I think we're gonna have to do this your way, Hit Girl."
"Awesome." She replied.
"And what ways that?" Kick Ass asked us both.
"All guns blazing." I murmured, grinning sadistically.
Mindy placed a silencer on her gun and grinned back at me. Kick Ass pulled out a Glock, I could tell because it was plastic.
"Ready?" I asked, my team mates and they nodded in response.
I turned around the corner and towards a window. I moved back from the wall and then ran at the window, jumping and somersaulting mid air so my back would hit the window and I would land on my feet. I touched the ground and looked up at the receptionist and the guard standing around her. No one moved at first, because of my shocking entrance.
I shot the guards through their skulls, three shot's each and they were dead. I noticed the receptionist run away but she didn't scream or press the alarm. I considered shooting her but refrained from doing so, I wasn't that sick. I heard Hit Girl's light footsteps behind me as she jumped over the windowsill and stepped on the glass splattered around me. Kick Ass was quick to follow.
We heard people running through the halls but Hit Girl killed them before they got anywhere near us. "Lets go." I grumbled.
All three of us knew, the information about my brother and Chris would be upstairs. We also knew, it would be heavily guarded. We entered the elevator and faced the door we knew would open onto Chris's corridor. Hit Girl reloaded and stared intently at the door of the elevator. Kick Ass opened his mouth to speak to the young woman and I shook my head at him, she didn't need to be distracted. He closed his mouth again and held his gun at the ready.
I looked up at the lights above the door telling us what floor we were on. "Ready. Aim." We waited for the ding and the doors to open, before I shouted, "Fire!"
Three men down in a few shots. I felt pleased but wouldn't allow myself to show it. I heard the sound of doors shutting. "He's here." I growled, which I found surprising, there didn't seem to be many people inside the building, he was usually more prepared.
I walked towards the office, hearing more scuffling from the kitchen. I nodded towards the sound, crept towards it, looked around the corner to feel the full force of someone's foot in my jaw.
I fell to the floor and looked up at my attacker. Stood in front of me was the Jade Vampire, a large grin upon her face. "I always knew I'd get you someday, bitch." She snarled and I stood up wiping blood from my split lip, I reached behind me into my utility belt and let her carry on, "You think you are so damn special, just 'cos you think he loved you. Well, I'm here to tell-" Her face fell and she fell back onto the floor frigidly. I hadn't let her finish in the end, there in the middle of her forehead was one of my butterfly knives.
"Wow, you're in a mood today." Hit Girl stated, looking down on my fresh kill.
"Don't even get me started." I muttered, removing the knife from The Jade Vampire's brain. A stream of blood followed the knife. "Come on." I instructed, as I wiped blood and brain matter off of the instrument. As I turned away I stopped. I turned back to look at the corpse and removed her mask. I should have known. She was the receptionist, Lavender Lewis.
We walked back towards the study and I tried the door. Unsurprisingly, it was locked. "Get back." I grumbled, I hadn't noticed Kick Ass was already stood far away, staring intently at Hit Girl. I shot the door handle off, including the lock, and the door swung open slowly. "Ready?" I asked, not waiting for an answer.
I stepped into the room carefully, crossing my feet as I entered. I whistled as though looking for a pet. "Christopher. Come out, come out, wherever you are." I saw a movement, in the corner of my eye.
I turned quickly and smiled, as I turned to his training room, "You wanna play, huh?" I whispered.
Hit girl and I stood on either side of the entrance. We burst through the door and let our bullets fly from our guns. We were met by four guys who looked terrified, shooting blindly back at us. I ceased fire as the last man fell, blood coloured the walls and floor. I shook my head and walked back into the study.
Kick Ass was stood at Chris's desk, with a note in his hand. "You'll want to look at this." He told me, as I snatched it out of his hand.
"Dear The Purple Eradicator," Read the note, "bring the evidence to our usual fighting spot at midnight tonight or your brother dies. That is if you get there, I calculate you probably have four and a half minutes before the building blows up. Au revoir!" I stared at the note for a few seconds before turning on my heels, knowing that my team would follow without instruction.
We ran into the elevator, passing our first kills, pools of blood surrounded each body, and slowly the elevator descended, "What's wrong?" Hit Girl asked me, anxiously.
"We are about to be blown up." I told her, truthfully and without expression.
We ran out of the building as fast as possible. There was a loud noise and my feet vanished from under me. I hit the floor. Hard. I felt heat rush over me and rubble hit the back of my body.
After the explosion, I don't know how long after but the heat had vanisheed, I looked up to see Kick Ass on top of Hit Girl in a very passionate kiss. They both looked cut up and in pain but I guessed the pleasure was more intense than the pain.
Somewhere in the distance I heard someone shout, "Get a room!"
Everyone's a fucking comedian.
Hope you enjoyed the penultimate chapter, tell me what you think! :D
