Author's Notes/Comments: Apologies for the long overdue for uploading my episodes. Recently I've been lazy and tired of doing everything in my power to obtain the skills I need to put out there, this one included. So, sorry again, but just know that updates will be slower, if it hasn't already.
The Genki Girls – Molly, Vanessa, and Eva Lycian, has been adopted by Isabella, and recruited into the Saints. Returning back to the penthouse, the Boss introduces them to the crib to hang or help out at any given day. Bella in the background makes a scene to where she headed inside of her girlfriend's room. She sat down on the bed, contemplating her thoughts.
Isabella, downstairs, has shown the girls to a life of luxury, living within the Saints' district now, they can pretty much explore anywhere except over by the Deckers' territory. That one is strictly off limits until further instructions. Just like how Isabella gave the money to Bella during her upcoming kickstarter to kill Philipe Loren, she gave them each five thousand dollars to buy a home for themselves. It doesn't matter for how much the Boss gives away, her income cache will always come in more.
Now that has been escalated and over with, Isabella has one more job to do… Kinzie, with the Deckers. Making a note to get into her casual clothes, she walked to her room and saw Bella on the bed.
Isabella: Bella? You ok?
Bella: [unresponsive]
The Boss told Bella she's going to take a shower, and as it took eight minutes, she came out to dry herself off, before accessing her wardrobe.
Isabella: [snort] Are you sure you all right?
Bella: …How is this lifestyle you lead is good for you?
Isabella: What do you mean?
Bella: The adoption, real estate, your recruitments, how is it any good?
Isabella: Um, well, dunno what you're saying here but it seems like you want me to stop me from doing what I came here to do…
Bella: And that's what? That's what I don't get… I don't… understand why you gotta fling yourself into danger and risk people into your crew to get killed, or something…
As the Boss puts on her dark violet hoodie on, she sat next to Bella and held her hand.
Isabella: Wanna know the secret? I have this fear that scares me more than anything… I don't fear death, I don't fear things that go bump in the night… I fear abandonment and honestly, relatively, it's due to my past…
Bella: [quiver] …!
Isabella: It's one of my committed issues that I struggle with, and until this day, it's been there, aching at me, gnawing to haunt me at the end of time, and the only way I can deal with it, well, I don't know how to deal with it… I can just cope…
Bella: But your Saints… and the adoption, how do they tie up in this?
Isabella: [sigh] My Saints have been treated horribly, and their lives are either bad, or worse than they think they are… I saved them from that however I don't keep them to have them all for myself, no… I value freedom, and they should be out there, well not should, they are allowed to set themselves to be free, and mostly, try and figure out what they want in life… It's not always the best, it's not always the easiest, and sometimes it's difficult, but I'm there to help and support…
Bella: [trembling] …
Isabella: I'm good at supporting people… And lastly, the adoption you questioned… My past, again, came to my sorry existence of my abusive bastard dad, beating the shit of me, and my mom… Mom is dead, I left with a bloody mess, and took off on my own… I have a shitty life, believe me…
Bella: [rest her shaky hand over Isabella's hand and looks concerned] …
Isabella: So I offered myself to be a mother to these… kids, teens, and learn the history of their recent parents… on why they've abandoned their children, or just why they couldn't find their children… Shit like that… Bella, I give them choices to not live like a Saint, and to live like individuals… and you know what they want?
Bella: [looks at her]
Isabella: They want to willingly stand by me, and become part of the Saints!
Bella fully understood the importance of the Boss' intuition, and felt a sharp ping in her heart. A light flutter overwhelmed deep within her stomach. She hugged Isabella, tightly, without exchanging any words, before leaping into kissing her lips tenderly. From there, they began making out for a couple of hours… as the scene faded to black.
~XXX~
Isabella: Are you ok from my… rough time with you?
Bella: [soft giggle] I'm ok…
Isabella: I'll try to be more gentle next time…
Bella: Th-Thank you…
With the Boss getting out of the bed, Isabella went down the elevator only to be stopped by Molly.
Isabella: What's up?
Molly: Can I come?
Isabella: [wearily] …Why?
Molly: Come on, please? I wanna learn how to shoot! You know, protecting the Saints and all that! I wanna know how it feels to shoot someone!
Isabella: Guns aren't just toys for your amusement Molly… I mean you would know, being in a Genki show and all…
Molly: Ugh, don't remind me of him… No, like, I'm a clean slate! I wanna learn from the basics!
She nodded, understanding where Molly was coming off of it, a new approach, and a brand new start to her life. She is still young, and these events of life can lead her places. The Boss went down in the basement elevator, along with Molly, showing her a whole different room. This room was filled with soundproof walls, and the ceiling, to block out any noise that might cause a disturbance anywhere around the penthouse. Isabella has promptly moved her adoptive daughter to a specific spot in the room, handing her a pistol, and taking her hands to show her the picture of holding a gun. Molly felt intrigued when listening to her mother's instructions, as she remains silent as she quietly observes. The position, the angle, the way it feels; all of these things are making Molly more excited.
When giving all of these instructions, the Leader of the Saints told her to shoot these fake display portraits of Killbane, and multiple old targets from her time in Stillwater; such as the Brotherhood, the Ronin, and many more.
As she left her daughter to practice her shooting, Isabella took the elevator down again to head in her garage. As she got in her motorcycle, she called up Kinzie Kensington.
Isabella: Kinzie, how's-
Kinzie: Good, I need help!
Isabella: Everything alright?
Kinzie: If it was alright I wouldn't need help, would I? The boxes are too heavy!
Isabella: Boxes? What boxes?
Kinzie: I'm moving stuff into my place! There are boxes! Some are too heavy for me? I need help! Got it?
Isabella: [sigh] I'm on my way…
Traveling across the highway bridge over to Ashwood towards Salander, meeting up with Kinzie at some abandoned warehouse. The Boss thinks to herself, for moving boxes, why a warehouse? From the front entrance was a rusted garage door, and when lifting it up, loads upon tons of boxes, some long, some tall, others were torn through because of how uneven it is; etc.
It was a large dark room filled with boxes and other stuff that warehouses would look like from being in, cannot name any specifics. Isabella saw Kinzie picking up small boxes and placing them to certain places that she'll unbox, from there, she volunteered to help, giving that Kinzie needed her to.
Isabella: I thought someone who just got out of captivity would want to live it up a little…
Kinzie: Not really, I hate people…
Isabella: Oh… So do you have anything on the Deckers?
Kinzie: Not yet…
Isabella: Ok so what have you been doing since you got out?
Kinzie: Power leveling…
Isabella: You're killing me here…
Kinzie: I can't help you take down the Deckers until I know where they're hiding! So I wrote a program that tracks a user's physical location while they're logged in!
Isabella: [confused] That's… awesome?
Kinzie: Just play the damn game and I can pinpoint where the Deckers are in real life! [takes the box from her]
Isabella: And now we're talking!
Showing the Boss a room with a hooked up machine that requires a headset, Kinzie gets an anonymous message on her computer. While Isabella does her Cyber Blazing in Cyberspace on a motorcycle hitting tanks in the shape of pixelated blocks, the geeky socially awkward girl heads to her computer, and picks apart to know what was behind the encryption scheme.
Kinzie also informed the Boss to do a bit of Mayhem, and assist her in Heliport Assault, assisting by hacking throughout the city in her area for her own personal security, amongst other things. Although, her last mission was a surprise for her, because the moment Kinzie stepped outside for a brief period of time, the Deckers called their team to have her killed. The Saints gathered around Kinzie for protection by trying her best to escort her to the car, as for the chopper, the Boss hangs down on a rope for sniper shots; as the coast is clear, the helicopter continues to follow Kinzie's safe passage back to her place, however, using a rocket launcher to keep the Decker vehicles away from her.
It did not take too long, completely killing every single Decker on sight, Kinzie decided not to go home, but instead, went to a restaurant to grab herself for some grub.
~XXX~
Three hours later, the Boss called Kinzie during her lunch:
Kinzie, how's the information you got on the Deckers coming?
It's compiling…
So what's next?
Not talking over the phone now! Too many people could be listening!
Oh…
Smiling Jack's! Go there!
Ok…
Isabella drove over to Smiling Jack's restaurant and walked inside. So far, everything seems fine, at least it isn't dirty. The people there are eating and having a nice time. But one thing struck out was Kinzie being underneath the table, typing away at her laptop.
Isabella: [looks around]
Kinzie: You should be more careful… I saw you coming two blocks ago… Traffic cameras, they're everywhere in this town…
Isabella: [sarcastic] Good to know…
Kinzie: I'm serious… And you should toss your fancy overpriced phone, I can find you through that too…
Isabella: Um, yeah… Look, I feel kinda weird having a conversation like this…
Kinzie: I totally agree! We should be using like that Navajo code dialect!
Isabella: [crouching] Come up for air sweetie… I took care of the Deckers…
Kinzie: Sure, let your guard down and suddenly they made it look like you're selling secrets to Mossad and moonlighting as a dominatrix! We've created a big enough disruption for you to move on Matt Miller… But if you want the Deckers gone, like, really gone…? There's a lot of work to do…
Isabella: Alright, I'll hit you up if I need any more help… [walk away]
Kinzie: Remember, throw out your phone!
The Leader of the Saints has left the diner, leaving Kinzie alone to finish up her work on the laptop. Once that was over, she got up from underneath the table and headed straight back to her warehouse.
When arriving there, opening up her garage, her alarm from her phone went off. Sounded like several beeps in a heartbeat pattern, so remaining cautious on who was in this area, Kinzie quickly tip toed to the back rooms to grab a blunt weapon, and uses her phone to detect any motion sensors, and thermal sensor reaction. At last, upon noticing a person that is stuck in a position where he cannot move from, Kinzie immediately focused her attention on going around, and then, whack the person over the head, falling into unconsciousness.
As she knocked over this unknown person's head, she heard a grunt, and saw it was a guy… with white hair? Regarding his appearance, Kinzie took the time to find a chair and duct tape, also a bag to hide his eyes from seeing the one who knocked him unconscious. He was light weighted to drag around, which was odd for a tall man, but she manages to set everything up before he fully wakes up…
Kinzie: [takes the bag off]
?: [sniff and looks up]
Kinzie: Who sent you!? How did you know where I live?
?: My brother sent me, and I have been tasked to watch over you…
Kinzie: [puts the shotgun barrel to his chest] And who is your brother?
?: Matthew Miller…
Kinzie: [widen eyes and cocks gun] Tell me why I shouldn't shoot you now!
?: I can be a valuable resource to your crew. I have been associated with the Deckers, but never really worked with them. I am prone to spread information that's been passed down through intel, or hack into encrypted communications, such as data, or personal information, and not use it for myself, but rather have someone else confirm that it may or may not be true…
Kinzie: [squints] You are underwhelming as hell, so calm, not one hint of begging for your life to be spared!
?: [whiplash hair]
Kinzie: What is your name?
?: Matt's older brother, Shin Miller…
Kinzie: Well, "Shin Miller", are you ready to die?
Shin: [nods and closes his eyes] Do what you must to protect your identity and location…
Despite hating all the Deckers, Kinzie hesitated to shoot him. The way he talked, his face was as calm as ever, and he looks so peaceful, accepting his death. She tried not to let that stop her and tries to pull the trigger. He is a Decker! That is no excuse for thinking he's not associated with them when he literally has the brand of the symbol it represents. Within Kinzie's mind, she is pressuring herself to pull the freaking trigger but it was nothing more than delaying the inevitable outcome…
Kinzie: [drops gun]
Shin: [open his eyes slightly]
Kinzie: You can't even die with dignity…
Shin: You will be doing yourself a service, Miss, for killing me…
Kinzie: [rubs head and walks a bit back]
Shin: I'm sure my brother won't mind…
Kinzie: …What?
Shin: It's true…
Kinzie: [walks to her desk and grabs the knife]
Shin: [watches her]
Kinzie: [cuts rope from his wrists]
Shin: [massage his wrists] I will let him know that I failed my mission into finding you, and say that you've blocked me from your incredible hacking skills…
Kinzie: [eyes widen] I don't believe you!
Shin: I will call him-
Kinzie: Wait-
Shin: And smash my phone so he won't trace back his signal here.
Kinzie: Uh… You… How…
He pulled out his phone, dial up his brother's number, and waited… Kinzie couldn't believe it, and yet she hesitated once again, to try and knock the phone right out of him. What was keeping Kinzie stunned about this guy?
"Brother? Er, no… I have not found her…" He paused, Kinzie heard Matt on the other side of the call yelling and getting irritated. "Yes, for I understand that if I do not find her, I will get the message from your specialist. Ok… Yes, understood… Goodbye," he ended the call, dropped his burner phone, and smashed it with his foot. She looked at the ground, staring at the broken down pieces of the phone, and stared back at Shin, speechless. "I must go now, Miss… It was a pleasure meeting you," this man, Shin, turned his back on her, and walked out.
She hesitated for the third time, her body trembled, she needed to say something. Say anything! To get him to stop! Wait…
Kinzie: Stop!
Shin: [abruptly stopped]
Kinzie: [handed him a piece of paper]
Shin: [smile warmly] Oh, thank you, but you do not need me to know where you live… Once I have information, I will direct you the details… Goodbye Miss…
It didn't work, he didn't take the time to examine the piece of paper. Thinking in her head, her heart beating like a drum, denying what her desires were, and shouted, "Kinzie!"
Shin: [look behind him]
Kinzie: My name's Kinzie Kensington…
Shin: [smiles genuinely] Oh, my… You have such a lovely name… [walks out and closed her garage]
Kinzie: [blush] This can't be happening…
Oh, it was happening all right, and what was happening in Kinzie's heart, her heartbeat was beating so much, she felt her knees getting weak. Finding the nearest corner to sit in, she rubbed her head in total confusion and wondered, what would happen if he tries to contact her again?
To Be Continued…
