Ch#3
Kelly was closing up her laptop, getting ready to go. Raven was standing near the window. Then she walked across the room towards Kelly “we have a problem” said Raven Kelly looked up at her confused. “What kind of problem?” asked Kelly “The military just showed up” said Raven “time to leave?” Kelly asked “yeah but we need some insurance” Raven said, Kelly nodded.
Raven walked over to the group on the floor. Pointed her gun at Tomax and said “get up! Were going on a trip” Tomax glared up at her in anger. What a heartless bitch he thought. “Helps on the way, he’ll be alright c’mon,” said Raven.Tomax paused was she actually being nice. She waved him towards the door with her gun.
Tomax swallowed and stood slowly with a backward glance at his brother he walked towards the door. “Not so fast lover boy” said Raven “Kelly the cuffs” Kelly pulled a pair of handcuffs out of her jacket pocket. Raven took them without looking, and then Raven froze. She lifted the cuffs to her face for a closer view; the cuffs were wrapped in pink fuzzy cloth. Ok, Kelly I really don’t want to know she thought giving Kelly a look, Kelly blushed.
Raven shrugged and cuffed Tomax’s hands behind his back. She grabbed his arm and led him out the door. They walked down the hallway and took the stairs to the roof. As they neared the helipad the pilot approached the group. Obviously assuming that with the Joes here the twins wanted to get out of here. “Sir where to? Said the pilot”Wheres your brother” the man started to say, before Raven shot him. Kelly climbed into the cockpit, the boys would meet them later and they would split the money.
Raven helped Tomax into the chopper, she wasn’t even sure which brother she had. Oh well it didn’t really matter; one was as good as the other. Both couldn’t be trusted, as far as they could be thrown. Which for her lithe five foot two body wasn’t very far. She had taken a seat opposite Tomax, so she could have an unobstructed view out the window.
Wild bill spotted them heading for the chopper on the roof. He saw Raven shoot the pilot and realized Tomax’s situation. He radioed Duke downstairs “we got three escaping off the roof” said Bill “the twins?” asked Duke “that’s a negative, only one of the twins and two women” said Bill “two women?” Duke said confused “yeah looks like we got a hostage situation” said Bill.Oh great more bad news. Flint waited till Duke was through talking on the radio.
“Sir looks like we got people trapped on the upper floors” said Flint “anyway to extract them?”asked Duke “ Were working on that sir, apparently some of the terrorists damaged the stair case as well as the elevators” said Flint “any ideas?” said Duke “we could try extracting from the roof or down the elevator shaft” said Scarlett walking up .The coroners were starting to remove the bodies from the lobby already.
“Any ID on those two security guards” asked Duke “enough to know they aren’t on the pay roll lists.” Said Lady Jay. “What about Cobras’ pay lists” said Flint “those would take a while to look up,” said Jay. “My guess is they weren’t on Cobra’s or Extensive Enterprises’ payroll,” said Scarlett joining the conversation. “Well Wild Bill reported seeing two women get in a chopper with one of the twins as hostage” said Duke “hostage?” said Flint surprised
“That’s interesting, wonder where the other one is?” said Scarlett. “All right people there’s time for mysteries later, for now lets get those people out of there” said Duke.
“Wild bill to team leader requesting permission to pursue, over” said Bill into the radio “that’s a negative Wild Bill can’t risk the hostage and we’ve got civilians to extract”, said Duke. Damn swore Wild Bill, man it would be so easy to follow them but he had to obey orders.
Kelly swallowed was the military chopper going to persue. Could she out fly him, or was the chopper armed. She let out her breath that she was holding when it finally flew away. She decided to waste no more time and get outta dodge. As she flew away she spotted the guys get away vehicle still parked in the same spot. They didn’t make it she thought biting back tears.
Six hours later the Joes were getting the very last of the civilians out of the building. When Lady Jay recognized one of the twins being wheeled out on an ambulance gurney. She stopped the gurney to talk to him “where’s your brother?” she asked. “She took him with her” he answered “what happened to you?” she asked “She shot me,” he answered “really? like her already” said Jay laughing. Xamot gave her a look that stopped her laughter cold. “Help him please, she’s crazy” he grabbed her by her shirt “she killed everyone at the board meeting in cold blood” he said “please” he whispered one last time before settling back on the gurney. The ambulance driver asked Jay to step aside and then loaded Xamot into the ambulance.
Lady jay stood there and watched it pull away too stunned by what the twin said. Did he just ask for help from the Joes rescuing a cobra agent? She was so stunned she jumped when Flint touched her. “You ok?’ he asked amused by her reaction. “Yeah” ”just strange is all” she said ”strange?” asked Flint “yeah Xamot, I think just asked me to save his brother,” said Jay. Flint’s eyebrows rose in surprise, ok that was a new one.
So far so good no signs of pursuit, just to be safe Kelly was flying under radar. Raven was kick backed and relaxed. Tomax was watching her, trying to figure a way out of this situation. Damn too bad she hates us so bad, he stopped himself why did she hate us so bad? “So um what’s your name?” Tomax asked trying to break the ice “now why do you want to know that?” she answered sarcastically “planning on suing me?” she said “No not at all, I just want to know who I’m dealing with,” he said “why so you know where to get your knife back?” she said coldly.
“Why do you hate us so bad?” he asked. Raven froze “look all I was doing was just trying to be friendly, that’s all” he said. “You don’t get it do you?” she said, “get what?” he said meeting her gaze. This made her angry so she got in his face and said, “you ruin lives and you don’t even give a damn” “ruined lives?” he asked confused. “How did I ruin your life, I don’t understand?”
He’s playing with me she thought, or mocking me. “Why should I explain anything to you?” she answered “you don’t care,” she said. “If I’m going to die for my deeds at least let me know what they are” he said. She looked at him closely meeting his gaze. He meant that she could tell by the intensity of his gaze. All right I’ll tell him, couldn’t see the harm she was going to kill him any ways.
“You bought out my father’s business awhile back” He nodded prompting her to continue “the restaurant was in the family for close to 35 years” she said “my fathers’ father founded it, he was going to pass it on to me’ she paused “it was our livelihood, the only thing my parents knew, losing it broke him, he died less than a year later’” she said finishing her tale. Tomax sat quietly listening to what she was saying. “I’m sorry,” he whispered when she was done.
“It was just a business to me I didn’t know” he said. Ah the failed rocket diner plan, damn plan never even worked. “Will you let me make it up to you” he asked. Raven laughed “you already have, about twenty eight million worth of apologies” she said “that’s not what I meant” he said “oh ok what ya mean then?” she answered “I’m offering you a job” he said “as what your secretary” she answered sarcastically. “Well that position is open but I was thinking of a position with in Cobra” Raven looked at him sideways “cobra?” she said “What’s that some sort of lawyers club?” she asked sarcastically “No, not hardly, it’s” he said “a group of international terrorists” answered Kelly before he could finish.
“You could make more than twice what you made today in a few hours working for us” he said “I’ll consider it” she said. She didn’t know why she promised that to him. How the hell did Kelly know about cobra? “I still haven’t gotten your name,” he said. She shrugged “its Raven” she answered. Again not caring what he knew cause she still planned on killing him. She was however beginning to respect him, just a little. She promised herself that his death would be quick. The cobra thing was enticing though; she decided to talk to Kelly about it. “Well what did you think?” asked Raven, climbing up to the cockpit. “About, what?” said Kelly “the Cobra thing” Raven responded. “He’s right they do make good money, but it would mean working for them.” Said Kelly, pointing to their passenger.
She glanced back at Tomax, who was watching them. “So which one are you?” she asked curious as to which one she shot.”Tomax” he answered meeting her eyes again. “If you want to know about cobra, why don’t you just ask me,” he said “maybe later” she said. Kelly didn’t like this, Raven was softening towards Tomax. It’s a good thing I plan on keeping all the money thought Kelly.
