Operation: DESTINY

Chapter 16: My own worst enemy

"What I want you to do," Nigel began menacingly, "is to assassinate Richard Salamari." Nigel grinned as he saw Abby's reaction which was complete fear and shock. He knew that Abby would never assassinate anyway, definitely for himself and his organization. But Nigel was holding on to Wally's life and would let go of it if Abby didn't accept the request or did one false move.

Abby sat there shocked and was trying to compromise with herself. She knew the stakes at hand, either Wally or herself. She didn't want to accept it though, "No, Nigel I won't do it!" She screamed at him which surprised him.

Damien began to move towards her a little to help calm her down as she tried to untie herself, but Nigel stopped him. "No, don't do anything." Nigel said seriously as he held out a hand in front of Damien. Damien looked at Nigel for a split second before nodding and taking a step back. He knew that Nigel knew best, he saw it as Nigel looked at his friend with an austere face and concern in his face. He knew that Nigel had everything already planned out.

"No, Nigel, I won't do any shit that you give me!" Abby yelled continuing her verbal outrage, "How could you even ask me to do that?! That's insanity and just evil all around and I don't know what happened to you to make you the assassin you are now, but I know that you are not my friend anymore!" Abby was desperately trying to get out of the ropes that grasped her hands and Nigel could notice the craziness that was in her eyes. Her eyes were both mad and crying at the same time, "You are a complete low life, and I don't care if you can kill me I don't want to live like this! I hate you!"

Abby stopped heaving as Nigel took this all in. His eyes were closed and he had his left arm hanging off the back of the chair. Damien knew that he was seriously thinking about this and the results of her not accepting the request. Then, suddenly, Nigel opened his eyes and sighed. "Well, I'm glad you hate me," Nigel said surprising Abby and Damien, "that's what I wanted once I left the TND. So, I'm glad about that statement but the others I'm not. I wanted, no, I needed you to accept this mission but I guess that's too much for someone like you to do. Probably because I made you weak, I was the one holding you up while we were fighting together in the KND, right?" Abby stayed silent as he heard those words, and knew that it was true. She looked down at the ground and Nigel held in a smile, "So it's true then. But anyways since you won't accept the mission there is a consequence." Nigel got up from his chair silently as Abby looked up at him with teary eyes. "Damien, go tell Mike to go finish off Wally ok?"

Abby's eyes widened with the statement and she looked up at Nigel with terrified eyes. She saw him smiling at her from her weakness and then added one last thing, "Oh yeah and Damien." Damien was already at the door ready to deliver the news to his other partner when he turned around to his partner's order.

"Yes?" Damien asked looking at his partner with devious eyes.

"If anyone else is with Wally while Mike is in there, kill them also." Nigel said smiling and then turning to Abby with glaring eyes. Abby saw the evil stare that lurked around the room and new that it was all the "new" Nigel. And he was right, this wasn't the old him. Nigel was never this evil or even trouble making. He would never do anything out of the ordinary until now, since he's an assassin. Then Nigel suddenly turned around to two body guards standing in the back of the room and ordered them to take Abby away to her prisoner cell.

The two guards nodded and put their guns back into their holsters and started to walk towards Abby. She looked at Nigel the whole time while she was being taken away. He was sitting down thinking about the next plot.

"How's Wally today?" Kuki asked a nurse with concerned eyes. She was visiting Wally once again, like she has for the last three weeks. He's still been in a coma since Nigel's assassin shot him, close to the heart. He's been stable so far, if only he could wake up.

"He's still stable but still in a coma also." The nurse said with bright eyes and continued on her way. Kuki watched her go down the hallway to help out some other hurt soul and once she was out of sight Kuki walked in.

Wally was still lying down in the bed with his eyes sealed. His blonde hair has grown out since it hasn't been cut and now was covering half of his eyes. He had a respirator on along with many other tubes going up his arms and chest. He was wearing the traditional white clothing of a hospital. He looked helpless and drained.

Kuki walked over silently with a saddened mind and gesturing hands to the edge of the bed and sat down in a chair placed next to it. She stared at Wally for awhile, contemplating about everything that caused this and hoping that he would wake up soon. It wasn't the same without Wally; there weren't anymore fun or memorable times without his temper. And now Abby's been kidnapped by Nigel, and they can't do anything about it. Now the only thing Hoagie and Kuki can do is sit and wait.

"Wally…please wake up soon." Kuki whispered as she placed a hand over his and started to tear up. Kuki heard footsteps coming down the hallway, but only ignored them.

"Nigel has orders for you." Damien said to the other line. He was outside of the headquarters, the sun setting in the distance. He had his cell phone placed up against his ear and his face looking downwards at the other assassins training.

"Yes! I've been so bored just sitting here. What are they?!" Mike said excitedly on the other line. He's been assigned to stay in Nigel's hometown ever since they kidnapped Abby to make sure anything doesn't get out of hand. It's been nearly three days, and he couldn't wait to do a mission.

"Nigel wants you to make Wally disappear from the world, and then kill anyone else in the way." Damien said while turning away from the training grounds.

"This is going to be fun! So, Abby declined to the mission right?" Mike asked walking down the street while talking on the phone. He had on a regular pair of jeans and a red T-shirt with his trench coat over it. He looked completely casual, as if he didn't just get orders to kill someone.

"Yes, and now she must suffer the consequences." Damien said on the other line wanting to get off and talk to Nigel to see what his next plan was. "So good luck to you." He hung up quickly and started to walk away from the sunset.

"Man, what's his problem?" Mike said on the other side hanging up his phone.

Kuki was crying on Wally's chest, desperately wanting him to wake up and get on with his life. She heard constant footsteps now, and noticed that they were getting a lot closer. She looked up from Wally and stared at the door while hearing a blood curdling scream and then a shot, an explosion. It was the shot of a gun, and Kuki knew it. Her heart started to race more and more, knowing that a gunman was just outside the door. Then the footsteps stopped and Kuki could see a shadow casting onto the door. She clutched Wally's hand in silence, being able to hear her own heart beating within herself. Then the doorknob turned slowly, as if trying to tease her.

Then Kuki saw the man that was killing, a young man no older than twenty five was standing there with a gun in his right hand and a cold blooded smile across his face. He had some blood on his trench coat, from the constant chatter of bullets. Kuki stared at him for awhile, taking all of this in. An assassin was standing in Wally's hospital room with a gun, wanting to kill.

"So, you must be Kuki." The man said somehow knowing her name. Kuki sat there in complete shock and silence, "I'm sorry but I'm here to get rid of your boyfriend and anyone else in the way, like you." Kuki's eyes widened as he raised the gun slowly pointing at her. "Nigel sends his regrets." Kuki screamed out from the fear as the gun shot went off and ended her happiness.

Nigel walked down the hallway by himself for once, not being guarded. There was a lot on his mind; Abby, Wally, Chronos, just everything. His long, black trench coat was scraping the floor and his sneakers created a constant rhythm on the floor. It's been one day since Abby's outrage and denial of the mission and she's been locked up since then. The only thing she got to see was darkness and the only thing she would hear was her own heart beating. It was that silent and dark in the chamber that was secretly hidden throughout the headquarters. That was where Nigel was now.

As Nigel neared the prison cell that kept hold of Abby he could hear the faint sounds of bullets being launched out of a gun and the breathing of Abby. The guards standing outside the door have reported that she hasn't done anything but sit in a corner and stare into the nothingness. She hasn't even uttered one word. The guards unlocked the door as they saw Nigel coming down the hallway and by the time he was there it was opened. The guards shivered as they saw Nigel's dark eyes staring at them, it could even be seen in the darkness.

"Hello, Abby," Nigel began as he door shut behind him. He could just make out the figure of her in the corner of the room crouching down like some lonely animal. She moved her head upwards and Nigel saw her face; sleep ridden and definitely angry.

"What the hell do you want?" Abby asked trying to get the meeting over with.

"I just wanted to tell you that the job is done. Wally and Kuki are dead because of you." Nigel informed grinning at his old partner. Her eyebrows furrowed as she heard those words. Her fists started to shake with pure hatred and frustration for not being able to do anything and allowing Nigel to kill her best friends. Nigel closed his eyes, smirked, and started to turn around to leave when all hell broke loose.

"You bastard!" Abby yelled and then leaping from the corner unexpectedly. She ran at Nigel with threatening speed and drew back her hand ready for a punch right into his face. Nigel turned his head with a grin and then spun around and kicked Abby in the stomach. Abby yelled out in the pain, he must have hit a pressure point or a rib. The two bodyguards opened the door to see Nigel kicking Abby and stayed there watching in amazement.

"Stay back!" Nigel ordered the guards as Abby fell back onto the ground. "I've been waiting for this." The two guard's eyes widened as he started to walk forward to the fallen Abby smiling. "Is that all you've got since I left you, Abigail?"

Abby gritted her teeth enraged as she got up and started to charge at Nigel again. This time she threw a kick while Nigel dodged quickly. Her foot went right past his face while he dodged, and then he jumped back while Abby threw an expected punch right where his body just stood. Nigel had his hands in his pockets and he was grinning from all of the misses Abby's been making.

"I thought this would be more challenging." Nigel said as Abby ran at him again but this time slid onto the ground at the last second. Abby was attempting at tripping him, but it didn't work in her favor. As Abby was about to crash into Nigel's feet he jumped up to Abby's surprise and then raised his right leg and slammed it into her chest as she passed. Abby screamed out again with the pain and then didn't move. She was lying there defeated. Nigel kept his right foot on top of her as she quivered with sheer agony. "Give it up Abby, you'll never be able to defeat me. I'm above you."

Nigel looked down at Abby one last time and saw that she was tearing up. His smile faded about how weak she now was and then he raised his foot off of her and started for the door. "Take her back to home; I never want to see her weak face again." Nigel said disappointed as he walked out with the guards. The two guards nodded and went into the room and picked up Abby and started to walk out.

"So, I heard about the commotion in the chamber." The leader said in her office once again. Nigel was sitting in the chair across from her, still not being able to see her face from the shadows covering it. The leader had requested his appearance after his training session and Nigel knew it had to do something with Abby.

"Yes, I was rather disappointed with our fight. I was hoping it would be more challenging and fun." Nigel said sighing. He knew the old Abby was a real fighter, she was actual tougher than him once but now that streak vanished. She was weak without him, and Nigel realized that.

"I see, and you sent her back to her town, correct?" The leader said flipping through the pages of a report filed out by Damien and Mike about Nigel. It included everything about Abby and Wally, and Nigel could see his friend's names written in there. He also saw the pale hand of the leader, it looked like pure glass; fragile.

"Yes, I have everything planned out." Nigel said wanting to get this meeting over with. He didn't feel like talking after the incident with Abby, he just wanted to sit back and relax and also eat.

"Tell me this plan." The leader said closing the file and placing the pale hand under her chin to listen intently. Nigel sat there ashamed; he knew he messed up with one thing. And now the leader wanted to hear it.

"Okay, well Abby is a very sensitive person. If someone hurts her, she takes out all of her anger in fighting and hurting other people. Like how she demonstrated just this morning. So, the reason I sent her back home is to finally deal with my other friend, Hoagie. You see, Hoagie is in love with Abby and once she comes back angry and enraged at everything it'll break his heart. Not to mention, Abby will not only mentally hurt him but physically as well. So, that will finally deal with my last friend and not to mention destroy Abby's life once and for all. She's going to fail in school once this happens, I'm positive about that. Then with Wally, I didn't order Mike to kill him but to let the world think he's gone forever. Mike is actually coming over with Wally right now by helicopter; he'll be over by tomorrow. Now this event will spark Kuki's sadness and anxiety. She won't know the point of life anymore with Abby angry, Hoagie sad, and Wally gone forever. So, she'll run away for good. And with that, all of my friend's lives will be destroyed. And that is my plan." Nigel finished. She looked over at the leader and saw the leader's hand stay still.

"That's more than I expected, Nigel, but what about Richard Salamari? I'm afraid you left out that part."

"Oh him, I'm leaving to kill him tomorrow afternoon, right after Wally gets here." Nigel said getting up to leave.

"One last thing Nigel." The leader said to Nigel before he left. Nigel looked over to her to hear out her comment. "Be careful at Salamari's tomorrow, the FBI is going to be there looking for you and this is a solo mission. Not to mention your Uncle's going to be there also."

This caught Nigel's attention immediately and he turned around shocked. "What, I killed him though?!" Nigel's eyes were showing a streak of shock and disbelief.

"Sorry, but you missed. He survived the flames and the FBI took him in. Apparently, you're his number one target on his list. Good luck."

Nigel walked out of the room in shock as he was about to be confronted by his greatest enemy yet again…
