Hi, please don't hit me! I'm really really really really really really really really really really... really really sorry that it's taken me ages to update but I just kind of lost my motivation but I soon found it when Bringing Down The House aired. I just needed to see an new episode of Kickin It to remind of how much I am obsessed with it and Leo Howard. Here it is so now you can put your pitchforks and torches down...
"I'll come."
"Jack no." Kim said before the man holding her tightened his grip on her
"Leave her alone. Leave them all alone and then I'll come."
"You're very much like your grandfather. Strong, confident, fearless and protective over the ones you love." Jack tensed at the mention of his grandfather. "Is that where you inherited that critical flaw?" Jack knew he was just trying to rile him up but he couldn't help clenching his fists "I heard most of our flaws are hereditary. And love," he spat the word as if it were disgusting. "is the worst flaw to have... Take him."
The men let go of the others and all surrounded Jack. But one man stood by Kim, Rudy, Jerry and Milton, guarding them.
"Let them go."
"No." Jack turned around to see who said that. "No. If he goes, we all do."
"Kim, no."
"Now Jack, I always do what the beautiful ladies ask of me."
"Take us with him or we'll contact our friends in high places."
"Whatever the lady wants."
They were all shoved and pushed into walking outside to the very back of the airport car park to a black van with bulletproof glass. The men surrounding Jack held him while they bound his hands together. Kim saw Jack wince slightly at the tightness of it but didn't do anything about it as she knew he was trying to strong for them. Stupid hero complex. Jack was thrown into the back of the van and hit his head of the back. Then one by one, they did the same to the others until lastly Kim came up.
"You know, I think these would hurt your wrists too much but you probably want to be with them. So you can either go in the front with us like an equal or you can be bound and chucked into the back like a prisoner."
"What do you think?"
He chuckled at Kim's reply and nodded to the man to tie her hands at her back like all the others. But before she was thrown into the back, he grabbed her and whispered in her ear. "I like your spunk."
Kim saw the anger, disgust and fear in Jack's eyes. She wished to fix that but that wasn't going to happen any time soon.
They were in the back of the van with one member of the Black Lotus guarding them. He sat next to Jack and every now and then taunting him. Seeing Jack so scared and worried made the others sick to their stomachs. Kim was lucky and was able to sit next to Jack and even though it was painful, she moved her hands to Jacks and held them for a second before the guard noticed and hit Jack as a warning. Kim felt sick again.
It took a while to get to wherever they were being taken to but none of them slept or even tried to. Their guard eventually dozed off and the others began to whisper.
"Jack, do you know how much longer?"
Jack just shook his head. It was silent for a few until Jack surprised them by trying to stand up.
Kim whispered "Jack, what are you doing?!"
"Trying to get one of his knives."
"What knives, he doesn't have any."
Milton started whispering now "Jack, he's unarmed."
"You're underestimating them Milton. He's wearing a standard uniform that comes equipped with hidden pockets for weapons."
"Why are doing this?"
"I'm getting the knife so we can all loosen-not untie- loosen the ropes. If we need to we can then attack them."
"Jack now you're overestimating us." Milton said
"Dude, these are paid assassins. We're just a couple of karate students."
"And their sensei." Commented Rudy
"We still need to be prepared." Jack said. And we need to do it soon, if I'm right there's going to be a bump."
"How do you know?"
"I've been working up how long we've been travelling for compared to the distance between the HQ that I knew and my grandfather's old house."
"I thought Milton was our nerd?" Jerry wondered
Milton chuckled "Ha, you're a dork."
"Shut up I'm trying to concentrate."
Jack managed to take one shoe and one sock off. He then unzipped a pocket that none of the others even noticed. He took a pocket knife out and stood away from the guard. He clicked it very carefully but accidentally cut his toe in the process.
"Are you okay?"
Jack nodded still concentrating, he then picked up the knife with his get and flipped it into his foot before kicking it into the air and managing to catch it with his hands bound behind him.
"Wow." They all said
"That was almost cool." Kim joked "Can you do that with an apple?"
"Probably." Jack flashed one of his smiles that Kim hadn't seen in the last two days.
Jack loosened his ropes slightly before asking them all one at a time to stand up so he could loosen theirs. Jack then had to attempt to put the pocket knife back into the sleeping guard's pocket.
He almost had done it but before he finished, the guard jerked awake.
He ranted in Chinese at Jack so the others couldn't understand.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Stretching." Jack said sarcastically
The guard then noticed his pocket was still open. "You were trying to get my knife?"
"No I thought you may have a snack in there." Jack said angrily and sarcastically
"Alright, clown!" He grabbed Jack's shirt and pulled him closer. "You want my knife? You can keep it."
He was about to strike him when the van came to an abrupt stop so Jack and the guard both fell.
The other members opened the doors to see Jack being picked up by his shirt and being threatened with the knife.
"He tried to steal my knife."
"He's important."
"One stab? A cut? Something."
"Well his foot is bare so I would suggest that area."
The guard grinned at chucked Jack out of the van so that he fell on the floor. The others held him down while the member who guarded then, took his knife and stuck it inside Jack's ankle. Jack tried to hold his screams but couldn't help one moan of anguish slip.
Everyone could hear the blade being drawn out from Jack's ankle and they heard Jack cry out in pain. Milton, Kim, Rudy and Jerry felt sick to their stomachs again. They forced them out of the van and made Jack stand on his weak foot. He limped his way, being pushed and aggravated by the members of the Black Lotus.
They soon came to a grand hall but instead of busts or works of art on display, they had guns, various weapons and portraits of former Black Lotus leaders.
"Welcome!" Echoed through the room, they turned to find a man standing there in a traditional black changshan "I have not seen you in many years Jack. May I still call you Jack?"
"No."
"I heard you got a knife to the ankle. I'm sorry about that. What happened?"
"I fell over." Jack sarcastically commented
He chuckled hysterically "Jack, no.674 may not appreciate your humour but I do. I appreciate it because I know that it's a facade. You're masquerading your fear by using humour and sarcasm. I love that more than people begging for mercy... Begging is so fake and desperate while you try to be tough but let these little comments through."
Jack stared at him in a mixture of fear and anger.
"My name is He Liu. Ironically it means Lotus Flower and to kill. My father, the previous leader, named me that on purpose, to motivate me." He Liu turned to Jack's friends who were behind the people guarding Jack. Jack lunged at He Liu but was grabbed by the other members. "Also, your name Jack has many meanings. It most know for meaning God is gracious or supplanter."
"I don't care, now where's my grandfather?" Jack had started to get angry
He walked back over to Jack. "I'm sorry but I'm afraid I don't know."
"LIAR!"
"Maybe I should be a bit more specific. I know where your he lives but I don't where he is."
"You're lying." Kim said
"And you're very brave to speak out to me."
"Where... is he?" He Liu just smirked at this. "He isn't here, is he?"
"No."
There it is. Can you tell me how many of you saw that coming and what you think is to come so you know what that means... REVIEW PLEASE! BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
