Chapter Thirteen~The Five Heroes
Friday
Day Four
9:32 am
"Make a left on Cathedral Avenue, where the bridge is at." Yuuki directed Norman as he drove in Yuuki's black Ford Focus, to get to the old warehouse on Theodore Roosevelt Rd. Ethan and Madison were holding onto their seats, as Norman was driving through some stop signs.
"Are you sure that's the address, Yuuki?" Norman asked, while turning right.
"I'm sure, because I have a heavy feeling in my heart, that he is the killer." Yuuki answered. "All this time, Blake's old friend could be the killer and he could be expected Ethan and me, but not you or Madison."
Blake woken up from his unconscious sleep, as he realised that he was in the guest room. The same room where he and Yuuki had sex in. He was handcuffed to the bedpost, as he was struggling to break out of it.
"Fucking asshole." Blake muttered, he reached in his back pocket for the small little key, that will help. The handcuff key.
Blake ran out of the bedroom, into Kanon's room, to find the crib, empty. "Yuuki! Norman! Kanon!" He called.
He climbed down the stairs, as he noticed something on the living room couch. Someone's tattered clothing. He recognized this clothing from somewhere. Ethan Mars. He was here, under his nose.
The office door was left open, he walked into to find the map of Philadelphia, on the floor, when he stepped on it. He noticed a red marked circle on the map, it was the address to the old warehouse.
"Gotcha."
Norman pulled up in front of the old warehouse on Theodore Roosevelt Rd, as Ethan immediately jumped out of Yuuki's car, and immediately ran inside. "Damn, your brother moves quick." Norman said to Yuuki, as he catches up with Madison and Ethan, while Yuuki and him were pulling out their guns.
All of them were exploring the inside of the warehouse, before Ethan shouted out Shaun's name. Yuuki catched up to him, as Norman stayed behind Madison, while aiming his gun.
"Shaun!" Ethan looked down to find a grate, that contains Shaun, swimming in rainwater, begging for his life to be save.
"Oh, my, Shaun. We're here." Yuuki told him, as she joined her brother
"Holy Christ!" Norman grabbed the grate, with Ethan, Madison, and Yuuki.
"We're going to get you out of there!" Madison said.
All of them pulled on the grate, as they were struggling to open it. Yuuki noticed a lock on the grate. Smart bastard, that Origami Killer.
Ethan started looking around for something to open the lock, until he heard a bang.
Norman uses his gun to shoot the padlock.
Yuuki and Madison backed up when her did it, while Ethan was surprised, holding a metal pole, which could have been use.
"Now we can open this." Norman said, calmly. The team immediately grabbed the grate, as they tried to to pulled it up, Yuuki was struggling, thanks to the small strength she had left inside of her, from yesterday with Mad Jack, Norman having her body, and also with Blake, this morning.
Finally the grate was opened, as Yuuki immediately ducked into the wall, with Norman as he volunteer to help her pull Shaun out of the well, and onto the ground. The mother immediately was pushed out of the way, by her older brother, as he crouched down to see the pale ten year old, not breathing.
"Shaun? My god, Shaun, answer me?!" Ethan cupped the boy's face.
"Here, move." Norman moved Ethan out of the way. As he studied the boy pale body. He pressed his two hands on his chest, repeatedly. "Come on, breathe. Breathe!" Norman pinches his nose, as he gave mouth-to-mouth. The agent repeated the process, once more.
Shaun Mars wasn't responding.
Yuuki squinted her eyes, as she started crying, while Norman was holding her. He also felt the same way, as well. If this was Kanon, the two lovers are looking at, they will be devastated. Norman can't bare the fact that Yuuki was crying and also Shaun wasn't responding. He looked at Yuuki crying, on his shoulder. The agent could see himself with her and Kanon, together under one roof, engage, married, also having more children.
"Don't leave me... please, Shaun, don't... don't leave me." Ethan held onto his small hand, while holding him, into his arms. Madison was sharing a few tears as well. The whole team. They failed. No future is complete without Shaun Mars.
Suddenly...They heard coughing.
Yuuki looked up, at her brother, as she heard Shaun, breathing in his father's arms. "He's alive!" Yuuki cried, she held onto Norman, as she kissed his lips, which surprises him. He was pinned into the cold concrete, as he felt her lips being pushed up, against his.
"Congratulations, Ethan and Yuuki."
That voice. Yuuki recognized that voice. It was Scott Shelby, the Origami Killer and also Ryan's murderer. The team turned to face the Origami Killer. He was unarmed. No gun in his hand.
"You two succeed. You're the father, I've been looking for all these years. The man capable of giving his own life to save his son." He turned to face Yuuki, who was next to her lover, Norman Jayden, holding his hand. "It had been so long since I've seen you, Yuuki, but one problem. Last year, wasn't our first meeting."
Yuuki looked confused.
"Our first meeting? What are you talking about?" Ethan asked. "Have you met my sister before?"
"Oh, Ethan, I did meet her, but I have met you before on the same day, when everything changed for you and your family."
Ethan and Yuuki were thinking about the past. They have never seen or met Scott Shelby before, he met Yuuki, her deceased husband, and her baby, when Blake took them by to see a real police officer. She remembered that Scott was playing with her baby, as she smiled while having his tie in her mouth. Until it hit her...
"Was it two years ago when Jason died?" Yuuki asked.
"Oh yes, Yuuki." Scott said. "For a cop of five years, you been experienced by deaths, all around you."
She remembered Jason, how he died. She was there at the mall with her husband Ryan, and her family, as they were having a family outing, until Ethan and Jason got hit by an oncoming car. Yuuki was crying, just like Grace, but she crying for her older brother, with Ryan by her side, hugging her, into his arms.
"And then, after his death, I was supposed to kill an old friend of mines, but instead... I kill your husband."
Blake... that's who he wanted to kill, but why? His own friend?
"I have been looking... looking for a father that will be able to do, what mine could not do…"
The team looked confused for a second, until he have the answer.
"Sacrifice himself...in order to save his son. I have searched. Oh I searched and searched. And then I remembered the Mars siblings."
"All of those murders…" Ethan said.
"Just to find a father capable enough to save their own son?" Norman added.
"Hey, at least you got what you want." Yuuki said. "My brother did the best he could with those deadly trials. Now let us all go and live our lives, again."
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Scott walked closer, until he pulled out his gun, from out of his coat.
Yuuki and Norman looked to their right to see Blake walling up slowly, behind the Origami Killer, but they kept calm before Scott could even noticed. Blake pulled out his gun, but kept it to his side.
"You are the only person on my list to kill, besides anyone in this warehouse, and you also ignore my warning." Scott said. "I don't attend end my days in prison. If you want everyone to live... I'm going to have to kill you."
Norman held onto her tightly and so as Ethan held onto Madison tightly. "I'm sorry…" Yuuki let go of Norman. She was doing the ultimate sacrifice in order for her to save her family. She was truly leaving everything behind her.
Norman, Kanon, Ethan, Shaun, Sara, Ash, and but most of all...God, she also was going to miss the asshole slowly creeping behind the Origami Killer, Lieutenant Carter Blake. She walked in front of the killer, while having her hands in the air. "Before you kill me, can I ask you something?"
Scott looked interested by Yuuki's final request, so he listened her.
"Why did you target me, instead of Ethan, first?"
"Because, your daughter had everything she had. Two loving parents, you and Ryan. She has all the love she loved from her parents, and her fate will change, when both of her parents are dead, but I never had the same kind of love, you gave to your daughter... Caitlin?"
Yuuki was furious at the name, once again. "It's Kanon! Motherfuckin' Kanon Maria! She was named after a singer!" Yuuki got on her knees, as Scott pointed the gun at the side of her forehead.
"I'm sorry, Ethan, Yuuki…" he turned the safety off. Yuuki looked at her lover, her older brother, and supposedly her friend/ future sister-in-law. "You've earned my respect."
She closed her eyes.
Blake grabbed Scott from behind, as Yuuki backed away. Norman and Ethan charged at them, as the women watched them.
There was a big fight against him, until…
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
The women had their eyes closed, until they looked to see Blake, Ethan, and Norman backing up, away from the killer. He wasn't wounded, but bullets hit each person. Blake was shot in the stomach. Ethan was wounded at the shoulder. Norman was wounded at his right leg.
"Ethan!"
"Norman, Blake, no!"
Norman had fallen, as he tries to stand up, which he did, and walked up to Yuuki. "Run!"
Ethan fell down on the ground, and so as Blake.
Yuuki started running away, before she was grabbed by the throat. She fought back, and she kneed the Origami Killer, in the crouch. Madison started following her as well, leaving Shaun alone with the wounded men.
The Origami Killer left them alone to their slow deaths, as he followed Yuuki and Madison to the top the old warehouse.
Norman started to get up and picked his gun up from off the ground. He ran to Ethan, who was holding onto his shoulder wound, and helped him up.
"Yuuki, Madison...we have to save them." Ethan said, still clutching onto his shoulder.
They all looked at Blake, who was unable to get up. He was shot in the stomach. He could have a fifty percent chance of living or he could die, as a hero to Yuuki.
Blake looked at the men, who walked up to them. The lieutenant was trying to talk as he was coughing up blood, every time he tried to speak. "Yuuki...save...her." He coughed, until Norman kneeled down to him, with Ethan. The agent took of his black overcoat and grey suit jacket, and guided his Blake's glove hand to his stomach wound.
"Don't say anything and don't move." Norman told him. "Keep your hand there. I'll send help for all of us."
Norman pulled out his phone, before he called for help, Blake looked at Ethan, for a second. "You're….under…" Blake stopped talking, as he felt more pain if he kept talking.
"No talking, Blake." Norman commanded, before he dialled the number for help.
"This is agent Norman Jayden. Tell Captain Perry, that I have found Shaun Mars and his father, Ethan Mars is innocent. Please send men and a ambulance to 852 Theodore Roosevelt Rd."
Norman hanged up his phone, and looked at Ethan standing up, before looking back at Blake. "Go...save them."
Blake is really telling the Norman Jayden and Ethan Mars. The agent who called him an asshole and bastard. He is really letting save her since he couldn't manage to save Yuuki, instead he cause chaos to her and his biological daughter, which he believes she's his.
"Don't die on me, Blake." Norman told him. "If you do, I swear I'm putting 'I told you so' on your grave.
Blake looked at Norman, before he started his behavior, once more. "Shut the fuck up, asshole! And save your girlfriend!"
Yuuki and Madison were hiding inside of the booth, far away from the warehouse, where there was container boxes. The women both had sprain their ankles, as they headed into a maze of the container boxes. All they can do is hope and pray that the Origami Killer had left and went back to check on the men, which they left behind. Somehow, Yuuki and Madison didn't hear Scott Shelby walking around the booth and calling out their names. He must have disappeared.
The mother had the courage to stand up and looked around for the killer, to see if he left. But Madison tried to convince her not to risk her life to save them, so Yuuki took that risk. She stands up in the middle of the booth, until she heard the breaking of the glass, behind her.
Yuuki immediately back up, screaming to death, as Scott had a metal pole which was sharp and can kill her. She dodges each stab attack, until she grabbed the pole, and tries to pulled it out of his hands, but she was too weak. Yuuki was pulled through the glass and hitted against the railing. Glass shared was everywhere, but they didn't pay attention to it. Scott immediately grabbed her from behind, punches her in the stomach. Thank God that she wasn't pregnant with Norman's child, yet.
She was pushed on the crane jib, as she noticed a pool of blood, coming out from her back. A glass shard was in her shoulder, she held onto her left shoulder, as Shelby tries to hit her with the metal pole. The mother dodges each attack, she can, until he fell back on the crane jib. She landed on her bottom, slowly pushing herself away from, as he got closer to her.
"I think you're ready to be your husband. "Scott raises up the metal pole in front of her. "Say goodbye to everyone, even your daughter, Yuuki Mars!"
This was it for Yuuki Mars. Everything that she been through in her thirty years lifespans has ended for her. She waited for the stabbing pain to enter into her stomach, so she can join her dead friend/husband of five years, leaving behind a legacy. His and her daughter, Kanon Maria Mars. She closed her eyes and she cried.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Yuuki heard three gunshots, just like the ones she heard from inside the warehouse. She opens her big brown eyes to see Scott Shelby, wide-eyed. He had taken three bullets into his body, but who shot him? Scott fell off the crane jib into the water container full of rain water, she looked down as his body fell in and blood was all over.
She looked up at the heros who saved her. Ethan, Madison, and Norman each had a gun out. They save her. Yuuki started crying, until Norman ran up to her and hugged her. "Shh, Yuuki, I'm right here...it's ok." Norman said comforting words to her, as he kissed her forehead to make her feel better. Yuuki Mars was saved. Shaun Mars was saved. Everything was saved, but what about Blake? Did he died, Yuuki wondered, as she kept crying into Norman shoulder.
"Norman...I was so.. scared!" She cried. "I thought... you've died."
Norman was running his fingers through her long hair. She was ignoring her pain in the back of her shoulder, until everything went black for her. Yuuki has lost a lot of blood, due to shoulder wound. Norman felt her not moving or crying in his arms. Yuuki looked pale as a ghost. Norman laid her body down, as he tried to wake her up, once more.
"Yuuki...Yuuki!" Norman called out. "Ethan, she's not breathing!" The architect and the journalist looking surprised, like the color has drain from out of them, as the agent picked up her and lay her cold body down, on the ground.
"Yuuki, Miyuki, wake up!" Ethan called out, as he shake her body. He listened her heart and check her pulse, but nothing was happening.
"Oh no, Yuuki."
"Oh god, Yuuki, baby, wake up!" Norman cried, holding her hand.
Oh no! Yuuki! Will she be ok and Blake too? Will they figure out who's the father of Kanon Maria Mars? Or Kanon Blake? The next chapters are the epilogues, which will be split into three chapters for Yuuki and Norman. After that, there will be two bonus chapters, which I will like to do, when I finish the epilogues!
So, Yay! For five more chapters of My Love Will Never Die!
Her full name is Miyuki Mars, but I prefer Yuuki!
