"Where is it?" She says pushing her temper. "Bitch! You think I'm telling you anything?!" He exclaims. He suddenly wiggles out of Jade's grasp and makes a run for the exit. Only for Jade to shoot him in his left leg twice. Crashing in the middle of the dance floor, she approaches him again. "You really wanna die here, huh?" Jade taunts Mike as she puts him in a headlock, a gun pointed at his temple. Suddenly she hears a groan from behind her and instantly she shoots the guard in the head; as his head goes limp on the ground. Disco lights still illuminate the empty bar as well as shattered glass, bodies and blood. "Give me something." Pulling the hammer of the gun while pushing the gun into his head. A minute goes by with silence and Jade punches Mike's gunshot wound on his leg. Shouts fill the air and Jade holds him tighter in the headlock. "Alright! Alright!" He screams in pain. Jade only smirks as she's won. "Broadway." He starts telling her, panting in between breaths. "What about it?" She asked, demeaning. "There's a chop shop three blocks from Broadway. That's where the car is being transported." Mike said wincing in pain. Jade can feel his throat throb beneath her leather sleeve; thirsting for air. "Transported by who?"
"Holy shit, Jonathan!" Addy said shockingly as she leaned in and gave John a kiss on the cheek. "Addy." John greeted her. "God! How long has it been? Four years?" She asked with a smile. "Five years and a change," John said. Interested, Addy leaned onto the counter excitedly. "So tell me, how is life on the other side? And, how's Jade? I heard she's here with you." She asked. "It was good Addy. Far better than I deserved." He said plainly. 'It was good' John silently thought to himself. "She's great. She's almost done her second year of university." John said. "Wow. Busy girl. Proud of her." Addy said impressed as she took a glass and handed it over to the other bartender from behind. Looking down with a dropped smile, she gave her condolences and was quickly given a 'thanks' by John. He has been hearing it too much lately. He didn't need to be reminded many times he thought to himself. "I've never seen you like this." He hears her voice as his attention is back on her. "Like what?" Curiously asking. "Vulnerable," Addy says, her tone honest. It seemed so foreign to him for everyone to see him like this. Life on the other side had sure made its changes on one. John thought it could've been because of love he is [temporarily] back, or something else. It bothered him how everyone could see why, but him. John never thought of it thoroughly, till now.
Music from the and filled the room and the yellow lights illuminated the bar, giving everything a neon touch. "I'm retired," John claimed, his voice monotone.
Addy, crossing her arms as she stood back up from the counter. "Not if you're drinking here you're not." She said solely, with a little bit of seduction in her voice. A short wave of silence between them occurred, but Addy smiled as he continued. "Usual?" She asked pointing to the bottle of bourbon behind her. "Please," John said kindly. He looked over. Observing everyone. The green and red lights making it so sinister in such an odd matter. "Compliments of the house." Addy said and slid over the drink and the napkin. John quickly gave thanks as she disappeared from his sight. A lipstick kiss stain was paired with the location of Iosef. Looking over, Winston raises his glass and tipped his head, as a sign of helping. The location on the napkin displayed 'Red Circle' in cursive. John gave a nod back in thanks as he started to head back to his room to get ready. Pulling out his phone, John dialled Jade's number.
Locking her car and putting the keys into her pocket, she approaches the small nightclub. With a flashing pink sign that read 'Club Ekko'. Entering the club, Jade is surrounded by people dancing, flashing lights and loud music blasting through windows. She sat at the bar, looking down at her phone and ignoring the commotion behind her. The bartender approached her with a small cloth over his shoulder and two empty glasses. "Sake please." Jade asked and the bartender nodded as he headed to get her drinks. "You know you're not in Japan right?" A voice asked beside her. Looking over a man about her age with brown and blonde hair said. His face was thin, had some facial hair as well and was wearing a black tracksuit with a leather jacket and a gold ring. His voice was calm but had a mysterious tone to it. "I just needed something light. I'm driving." Jade replied as the bartender handed over her glass of sake. "Mike. Mike Smith." He introduced himself. "Jade." Taking a sip, Jade could see the gold ring reflect on her glass. "Driving huh? What cars are you into?" He asked fidgeting with his ring. Out of one of his pockets, she could see a golden card peak out of the fabric. She put her glass down as she glanced at him. "I'm actually looking for a car," Jade said looking down at her glass. "American muscle car. 1969 Mach 1 Mustang. Not to be mistaken for a 429 Boss Mustang, however." She said and slowly glanced at him. Suddenly five guards were surrounding the two as she finishes her glass of sake. Secretly taking out her gun, she shot the nearest guard in the head from below and shot Mike in the arm; taking this opportunity, Jade was able to escape being captured as the four other men and Mike running for cover. Gunshots fill the room as the people in the club run out for safety. Music still lingering. Jade then shot one guard in the foot and grabbed from the other side the shield herself from the other bullets coming from other guards.
Shooting them in the head, the bouncer suddenly took her down, body checking her. She fell but quickly spun around the man and was able to subdue him; spinning and using his arm and weight to flip him over, whilst breaking his arm. Bodies exploded with blood and fallen dead to the ground. Shooting the bouncer with her gun and finally getting up, her gun was quickly knocked out of her hand. The man kicked her in the chest, and then later swung and punched her in the shoulder hard. The impact made her fall over, only to swiftly swing her legs and make him fall to the ground. Finally, she grabbed her knife from her ankle and made a swift dodge at the knife the man had stabbed into the ground. Quickly getting up, she used this chance to kick the man's leg hard; dislocating his joint and then later swinging her knife right through his head.
One last guard had appeared shooting from the bar and using it as a shield. She quickly dodged the bullets, and get closer to the bar. The shooting stopped and the sounds of clicking were heard from behind the bar. Jade quickly jumped over the bar and jumped the man. She was then grabbed by the man by her jacket and neck as he smashed her into the displays and the several glasses and bottles of alcohol. Taking a broken bottle, she then stabbed the man in the gut as he let go of her from the pain. The glass shattering on the floor, she jumped over the counter to grab a gun, only to be pulled back by the man. "Shit!" Jade muttered to herself as she got up and kicked the man where she stabbed him. He flew back in pain and quickly recovered.; taking a sloppy swing directly at her, dodging it and she swiftly took his arm, bending his wrist the other way and swinging under his legs; grabbing his arm and pushing him from the back. Falling over frontwards and finally grabbing her last knife from her ankle, and stabbing it right in his head. His hand goes limp and blood pools around him as she takes out the knife while blood follows it.
Jade takes a heavy sigh as the room is silent and the flashing lights illuminate all the bodies sprawled across the floor. She stands up and grabs her gun on the floor, reloading it. Groans suddenly fill the room as she sees Mike holding his bleeding arm on the ground, while at the same time crawling to the door.
She smiled at herself as she walked over to him, putting her gun to his head and in a headlock. "No, no!" He pleaded in pain. "I'm not finished with you yet," Jade said as he winced in pain. "Fuck you, bitch." He spat back. Frustrated, Jade took his head and slammed it onto the ground. Sticky blood stuck to the ground as his nose had broken and started to bleed. He screamed in pain as she held his head with his hair. Putting the gun back to his head and back into a headlock. "Tell me now. Where is it?" Jade spat, interrogating him.
