Dead or Alive (closed)

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He looked her body over as she jumped out of the bed, and boy oh boy did she looked hot, above 150 degrees. He fanned himself.

“Is it hot in here or is it just you?”

He heard her words of protest.

“What the hell do you mean hold on, I tell you to pack your things and get ready for the adventure of your life and you tell me to hold on? What kind of shit is that? But I guess you should know what is going on. There are a couple of reasons you need to leave now, one; you are in danger, two; two groups of people want you dead, the Syndicate and the anti-Syndicate people, they both want you dead, so you are like me. Oh and about what happened earlier, that was my good friends idea, he thought I was in danger so he and my team let loose a evac plan. I am sorry they made you walk; you should have just taken the car. And I brought the pictures for you Meena, so chill. Here get dressed I will pack for you.”

He threw jeans and a t-shirt to you and might I add, the t-shirt was a tight fitting one that was a low cut and the jeans were tight and form fitting. He packed all your stuff and he went through your panty drawer and smiled, so many pretty panties, he looked over his shoulder and stuffed on in his pocket, you see Jericho had a panty fetish and if they belonged to a beautiful goddess like Meena, than he had to have a nice pair of her panties. Just than she came out and saw him packing her stuff he looked to her and than to the window.

“Yeah you will get the story of a lifetime if we can make it out of here alive. Now do you have any weapons, if you do go and get them now and put them in a bag…. Do you smell gas?”

He looked out the window and he tossed the bag out and shattered the glass and he drew his two handguns. He looked to Meena.

“I want you to cover my back…”

He heard a window shatter from the bathroom and he didn’t even look he just held one of handguns behind him and fired, the bullet whizzed right pass Meena and hit the man in the chest.

“I hate uninvited guests. Now hurry and go get your weapons if you have any.”

He shot a few shots outside the window and he took down a few of them, but than bullets rained through the walls and Jericho took cover. He smelt the air again and he could of sworn he smelt gas.

“Do you have a gas leak or something, what is that I am smelling?”

The gun fire stop and he rose again and fired a lot of rounds taking multiple targets down with every shot. The way he was firing his weapon was amazing, he knew the bullet trajectories and knew when and where to shoot. He was to fast with the gun as well. What would happen next, he didn’t know.

Meena grabbed the pictures before he could change his mind and went over to her dresser, taking out a manila envelope, she stuffed them in and hurriedly addressed them to her editor. At least he would be able to hold onto them until she could call in with her story.

Reaching under her bed, she grabbed the safety box that held her handguns. The lock was quick to open if you knew how and she soon had all three of them out, placing the smallest one at her back before grabbing the ammo.

When he mentioned gas, her head snapped up and she sniffed the air. That was a moment before the sound of breaking glass and bullets rent the air. She was getting a little tired of this routine.

Turning, she smacked him soundly on his shoulder. "Don't fire!" She yelled at him."This house is completely electric except for the fake fireplace and, in this heat, do you think I would be turning that on? Someone is trying to either suffocate me or start an explosion with the gunfire and you aren't helping."

Picking up the envelope with the pictures and running to the window, she grabbed hold of the trellis which sported some ivy growing along the house. Looking back at him, she yelled,"What are you waiting for? The bonfire? Let's go!"

With practiced ease, making anyone watching think that she had shimmied down more than one trellis in her lifetime and probably to the irritation of her father, she half slide, half climbed the living ladder.

Once she hit the ground, she was on her knees, one gun in her hand, searching the night for the sounds of their attacker. She got it in the form of a bullet just missing her head. Without a blink, she zeroed in on the gun flash and pulled the trigger, hearing a cry and thump as her bullet hit the mark.

"Come on!" She yelled up to the house,"What the hell's keeping you?"

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He looked and he saw the hardware she had and than when she slapped him and told him to stop firing, he looked at her.

“What are you talking about, I can’t kill these people, and a little gunfire is not going to blow the house up or anything.”

He saw her go out the window and he saw about 30 guys come out of holes and out of nowhere, he rubbed his eyes at seeing that and he no choice but to cover her. He started blasting every person he saw as Meena climb down and she took out one guy, but he saw a guy spawn behind her and he fired and took his head off. He waved at Meena and he saw the cat run by and he shook his head. He ran after the cat and grabbed it when he saw a fire start in the house.

“Oh shit.”

He kicked the door open and he leapt out of the house and fired his last two shots and took out two bad guys and he was out of ammo. He hid behind a tree and quickly reloaded and he was locked and loaded, he fired again and took out two guys with one bullet and he ran to where Meena was and the house blew up as he ran with a cat in his arms.

He rolled to the ground and was side by side with Meena.

“I got your cat for you Meena.”

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena was firing as well as people seemed to appear out of nowhere. The barrel of her gun was getting hot but she stood her ground, knowing that Jerico was covering her, until she could break free and run away from the house and toward the shelter of a neighbor's stone fence. She seemed to be hiding behind alot of fences lately.

When he came tumbling over the fence, she grabbed Silky and held him tight, petting and comforting the feline even with the gun still in her hand.

"Oh, Mr Silky," She purred to him, rubbing her cheek on his ruffled fur,"Poor, Silky, such a frightening experience for such a small kitty...I'm sorry, baby, Moma left you in that house with all the scary...." Lifting her gun and firing point blank at a shooter on a neighbor's roof, the shooter tumbling the two stories to the ground..."Bastard...scary men. Moma will get you a treat to make up for..."Another shot from her gun at a speeding vehicle which came down the road, gunmen in the back. The car swerve into a parked one and moments later exploded,"Shit, out of ammo" Then switching her firearm her attention back on the pure black cat. "...make up for that oversight, I promise."

Looking over at Jerico who kept looking at her as if she had lost her marbles, she raised her eyebrows and clutched Silky to her chest. "Grab my bags and lets go. You have transportation, I hope."

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He looked at her holding the cat and talking to it and than shooting people a little werid. But what could he expect from a reporter of her stature. He saw how she was out of ammo with both guns now and he stood up and looked over the stone wall and saw there were like one hundred guys out there, just appearing. He shook his head at this.

"This is fucking insane, what is going on out there. I have no fucking idea, but I am getting sick of this. I have no wheels Meena, and I am going to go out there and face them, while you run to the sea docks and wait for me there. Run there and get some wheels and do not come back for me. You understand me? Now go."

Before he leapt over the wall he cleaned his sunglasses and you saw the fire burning in his eyes. He was going to get you out of this. He took something off his back and opened the case and pulled out a werid looking gun, with only a single bullet chamber. He looked to you.

"You know what this is, this is a Caster Gun. They have bullets specially designed for these guns, from numbers 1 thourgh 10, and there is up to 15, but those are not on this planet, but any other planet these bullets are hard to come by. Yes they are expensive, and rare, I only have 10 bullets and the most powerful one I have is a 6. This is some kind of magic they are using, so firing regular bullets at them is not going to do anything. Every time you or I drop one, I think 2 for every one is spawning. So when I give you the sign, I want you to leap to the other side of the house and get to the other street. On 3.."

With that said he loaded a yellow bullet and had the number 2 on it and he cocked the gun. He than took out a hand gernade and pulled the pin.

"I will clear the path so you can just run through. You are going to have to take your bags though, stash them and I will come back for them." He tosses the Hand gernade and it goes over the fence and blows a whole in the fence and levels the tool shed and you can see the shed, and he tosses 2 other gernades over the stone wall and you see a large explosion and see bodies fly everywhere, he than picks up his handguns and shoots 3 people taking aim at Meena on the room and of the burning building. "Your Welcome now 3!! Go GO"

He leaps over the stone wall and you hear bullets flying in the air and than all goes silent and you hear nothing, but a blue light appears, like a nukelear flash, but it doesnt burn you or damage anything, you can see fine and you dont hear any more gunfire, for a few minutes and than it starts again. You hear Jericho laugh and his gun fire is insane speed. You also notice that you only have your one gun. What will happen to Jericho, you dont know, but you kept thinking will you ever see him again. But you have the photos so he did his part.

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena stroked the cat while Jerico blasted the wall and went through to start blasting at whatever was shooting at them. If they were magic spawns than they were not human.

Shielding the cat with her own body, she looked down and said,"Men! Always have to do things the hard way."

Getting up she ran but not in the direction Jerico wanted her to. Instead she ran to her neighbor's house where a large black SUV sat in the driveway. Opening the door, she crawled in the driver's seat and put the cat in the back seat. Reaching up to the visor above the driver's seat, she pulled it down and out dropped keys.

Catching them in her hand, she looks over at Silky and smiles. "Norman is soooo predictable."

Starting the vehicle, she pulls out of the driveway enough to turn around and drive over the grass and through the the hole in the fence, screetching to a halt by Jerico and flinging open the passenger door. It seemed like this was getting to be a routine as well.

"Stop playing hero and get your ass in!" She yelled at him and, when he did, she peeled out and over the curb and through the path he had made.

"Don't watch me," She told him,"Keep those things away."

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He again was astonished at her not being able to follow orders. He shook his head as he got in the car, but he knew what was going to happen.

A few seconds went by and she shouted things at Jericho, and he looked to his watch and the house blew up and than bullets hit the SUV and caused it to flip over, but Jericho didnt even flinch.

"I knew what was going to happen and I told you what to do, now I have two more gernades, I am going to use one to blow a hole in that fence and you are going to run through there to the other side and get to Uno Street. There you will wait for me, I need you to do this, please I know what I am doing and they will not let us get out of here, but if Idraw there fire and you go, than things will work itself out. Now Meena my love, go now."

He crawled out of the car and threw his last gernade and it exploded at the fence and blew a hole in the fence and Jericho let out a battle cry.

"Now, lets get down to the killing!"

He started to blast away and he took down many targets, and he looked back to see Meena still sitting there.

"Go now Meena hurry up. I have gave you a way, I need you to get there."

He jumped dodged a bullet and he let loose a volly of lead and took out many more targets. He than took cover behind a car and took his Caster Gun out and loaded it with a number 1, he jumped out from the car and aimed.

"Eat this clones!'

He shot the bullet and a large orange explosion went off and sucked all the baddies in and killed them. Jericho only smiled as he reloaded his handguns and he shot a oncomming clone and he dropped his assullt rifle and Jericho picked it up and started to take down more targets, each a strategic shot, he was than almost out of ammo, he dropped the rifle and he drew his handguns again and blasted away. He didnt know how much longer he could hold them off, but it had to be long enough for Meena to get to Uno street and than Jericho could make his move and get to Uno street without worrying about her and her stupid cat.

"Meena, I hope you get there fast."

He looked to his watch and saw the tracker and she was almost there. When she got to the point, he would run and lose them with out anything holding her back. He put his hand behind his ear.

"Blue, meet Meena and pick her up at point U and meet me at Point C, come locked and loaded. I will be there and waiting. Hurry cause I am almost out of ammo."
Blue: "Yes sir, we will be there."
J: "Im gone"

 

[BlueEyedLady]

When the SUV rolled, Meena made herself relax. The most injuries came from stiffening up, thats when legs, arms and other things got broken.

The minute it stopped it's rolling, she undid her seatbelt and crawled into the back calling for Silky and the envelope with the pics. Over her shoulder she called to him. "Yeah, yeah, keep your shirt on!"

Grabbing the feline, she scrambled out of the window and took off down the street. If he wanted to get himself killed, let him. She had her pics and one hell of a story.

Once she cleared the fighting, she slowed to a jog and looked around for a mailbox. Finding one, she dropped in the envelope and started toward Uno Street again.

"You know, Silky," She said petting the cat thoughtfull,"I think that Mr Unix is a bit pushy. Don't remember him asking if we wanted to go anywhere. Bossy bastard, isn't he?"

She could see Uno Street which seemed deserted and on the opposite street she could see a pay phone. Time to make her own plans.

Going to the payphone, she picked it up and dropped in a couple of quarters, dialing her editors home number. It rang for quite awhile before a sleepy male voice spoke on the other end.

"Greg? It's me, Meena. Yeah I know what time it is but, listen, have I got a story for you. It starts with my assignment and ends with my house getting blown to bits."

She waited for the excitment and worry on the other end to subside before breaking in. "Yeah, yeah, listen up, will you? I haven't got alot of time. He'll be coming any minute now. If they didn't kill him before he won't die now." Another pause and she said,"If you'd shut up and listen I could tell you who. If you keep chattering away you won't know. I doubt he wants the world to know he's really alive but it's a bigger story than even the Sydicate one....Greg you will never guess who I got hooked up with now? None other than....Hello? Greg, Greg where the hell are you? Shit!" The line had gone dead. Looking up, Meena saw a man she had never seen before standing there holding some kind of device that was pointed at the phone.

"Who the fuck are you?" She snapped at him pissed that he had just blown the biggest story of her life.

He smiled, showing his teeth in the dark. "They call me Blue," He said,"And you must be Meena Gottard. I'm your ride."

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He saw her go where he to told her to go and he looked at his watch and saw she was on the move, he also noticed he was out of ammo, but he kept firing the gun and making bang, bang noises. But he saw that these clones as he called them were not that stupid, so he holstered his guns and he drew out his Katana and stood in a fightning postion, he had a stone cold face on and he was ready for anything. One clone started to fire his machine gun and Jericho responded by richoshaying most of the bullets away and taking out more clones. He than charged in and started to hack away at the baddies, each a swift elegant move taking one of there heads off and slicing clean through there stomachs, and making multible hits on there chests. Jericho kept his head in the game and soon came out of the pile unscratched and laughing. He was than shot in the shoulder.

"Ouch! You son of a.... oh shit."

He started to run away seeing they spawned into even a larger army and Jericho ran and he held his injured shoulder, but he sheathed his sword and he picked up a rifle as he was running away. He had to get to Colbert Street, or was is Colgate Street, shit he didnt remember. He placed his hand behind his ear and called for Blue.

"Blue where are you, I forgot where point C was."
B: "Point C was at Colbert street and we have the nice package and might I add she is very lovely, have you kissed her beautiful lips yet?"
J: "What shut up, I have not even touched her, well maybe I felt her up, but that was to protect her, anyways, I have a large army behind me of spawing clones, so I need you to have the 50 mil ready for them and have it fully charged, I will be there in 5."
B: "Yes sir"
J: "Im gone"

He kept running and he turned the corner and started to take a few out, but he saw they spawned again. What was making these things spawn he didnt know. There had to be something.

Where Blue and the team was.

B: "Greetings mi lady"
He turned back to where the others were.
B: "I always wanted to say that." He turned back to her "We are here to take you to saftey, Jericho has instrurcted us to help you. So that is why I cant have you speaking to anyone. Oh yeah."

He turned his head to the mailbox and pointed his finger at it and you saw a red headed man launch a small rocket at it and blew the entire thing up and than another man came out and lit everything on fire.

B: "So we know you didnt send anything. We are very conscience about are work, so we dont like anyone knowing about us. So get in the car sexy Meena."

He smiled at you and you saw a large cannon type gun raise out of this large battle car of some sort.

B: "And dont be mad, you will get the story of a life time if you make it through this. So as my favortie action star once said "Come with me if you want to Live."

He laughed as you could tell he was looking your body over and undressing you with his eyes.

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena looked agast as they blew up the mailbox with her pictures in it. That was the third time today she had lost pictures. Giving the man named Blue a cold look, she said,"Here, hold Silky a minute will you?" And she dumped the cat in his arms, taking him by surprise and then drew back and punched him right in the jaw.

Taking the cat back, she petted and soothed it as Blue held his jaw which was beginning to bruise but there was still a smirk on his face.

"Now that we understand each other, I will thank you not to use that tone with me, don't order me around and don't look at me like that. One more crack about my body and I will hit lower, much lower." Her eyes went to his crotch to get her point across to him and then she flounced off toward the car, holding silky in her arms and ignoring the laughter coming from behind her and some remark about how her being a firecracker was an understatement.

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He ran to Colbert Street and when he was half way there he stopped and he turned around and saw that no more freaky clones following him. He was curious why they stopped. Than infront of him was a large man with a big red beard and a huge gattling gun with a battle axe strapped to his back, he was very muscular and hairy and large, Jericho looked up at him and smiled, he smelt like saw dust and sulfer, it was strange, he also wore big metal gauntlets and Jericho opened his eyes wide as he was punched in the face by this man and it felt like a truck just ran him over. Jericho hit the wall of a house or something he stood up slowly and drew his handgun and aimed it at him. But he remembered that he was out of ammo.

"If I were you I would run away. Cause I have a lot of heat here in these guns here."

He was bullshiting this guy, hoping he would at least he would think he had ammo. Than he heard another voice and out walked a small scientist looking man that wore glasses and a long white jacket, as soon as Jericho saw him he put his gun away and stood and looked at this man.

Scientist: "I dont want to fight you, I just wanted you to feel the power of this man, I call a God. My name is Koji Yuji, and I am with the resistance for the Syndicate. If I knew it was you fighting my men, I would have stopped them, Mr. Death Reborn, I am a big fan of you. I have stopped my army from attacking, but I need that woman that was with you, she is with the Syndicate and she must be made an example of.
Jericho: "Well that would be fine if she was really with the Syndicate, but she is not and I can assure you of that, she is a reporter and she was undercover, working on getting a story, so she could bring the fucking losers down. So dont worry about her, I will supervise her.
Koji: "I am afraid I cant let you do that, we need to kill her, if you hold her against us, than we will have no choice but to take you out Mr. Death Reborn."
Jericho: "I dont think this is really necessary, just leave her to me and if I find that she is working with the Syndicate, that I will drop her off with you guys, but I cannot allow you to take a inocent life. I will not stand for that. So until I find out what she is, than I will decide what to do with her. Now if you can let me go before you upset me and I will blow you away, we can go on our ways."

He draws his gun again, but this time it is his caster gun and he drops his number 6 bullet in.

Jericho: "I know you know what this is and this is a number 6 bullet, and it will kill you and your stupid friend over there in one shot, even if I dont make a solid hit, this is a powerful shell."
Koji: "You wouldnt dare, ok, ok but we will meet again."
Jericho: "Thank you, have a nice day."

He walks by the large monster thing wearing a death bone mask and he stares him in the eyes.

Jericho: "The next time we meet, you will be at my feet and every bone in your body will be broken. I promise you that, do not fuck with me."

He walks by the monster and he continues on the way to Colbert Street when he all of the sudden aimed the gun behind him with out turnining his back.

"Dont even think of shooting that gattling gun and pee shooter at me. I will fire this bullet and send you both to hell, I promise you."

They both put there guns down and vanished into thin air. Jericho got to the point and saw where his good friends were waiting for him, they did as he asked and he waved.

"Blue, good to see you man, dont worry, they wont be following me anymore. Just watch."

He looked to his watch and hit one of the buttons and the whole area where the fight was going on exploded. And Jericho stood on top of the Car laughing.

"Looks like they wont be comming back anytime soon."

Jericho looked at the others and smiled as he laughed and he saw Blue had a bruise on his jar and he laughed at him as he saw Meena with her cat.

"Whats the matter Blue, get the smack down from a woman. Looks like you really are blue."

He fell on the car and started to laugh at him, while Blue gave Jericho the finger.

Blue: "Fuck you Jericho, she got a lucky punch."
Jericho: "She kicked your ass and you know it, fucking pussy."

They both laughed as they saw the smoke rise from where the explosion happened and soon the car was on the move with Jericho on top laying down.

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena sighed and shook her head as she sat in the back seat. "Fucking Idiots," She mumbled and then said outloud,"Hey! Is there anything you guys don't freakin blow up? You ever hear of containing the area? It means you try to cover things up without blowing it to hell. I hope no innocent people got blow up back there or you can bet my story will be one hell of an exposee."

Sitting back, she petted her cat and looked out the window wondering where the hell they were going.

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He looks to Blue and starts to laugh at him again.

“You got your ass kicked by a girl, you need to learn how to block dude. I will show you later.”
Blue: “Shut the fuck up Jericho, before I show you what I can really do. I got a lot of whoop ass behind these fists Jericho and they might have your name on them. So shut the fuck up.”
Red: “Both of you shut the fuck up, you both are pussies. I will fuck both of you up, but Blue getting his ass whooped by a woman of her stature is fucking hilarious. Hey Miss Gottard, don’t worry about blue he is a little pussy, he is nothing to worry about, but when he is in sneak mode, I would worry. He is like a ghost when he gets like that.”
Blue: “Thanks Red, but she didn’t kick my ass, I let her hit me.”
Jericho: “Oh shut up, in 8 years has Blue ever been able to sneak up on me, no, he is nothing, lets see him do it with out the tricks.”
Blue: “I am your eyes and ears out there, don’t make me forget to tell you about the hidden shit out there.”
Jericho: “Hey that is not funny, but I remember times when you didn’t tell me and I still got out of it.”
Blue: “I uhhh, oh fuck you.”

They all started to laugh and Jericho just stared out of the window the whole conversation. It seemed like he was not even there, but he felt you were staring at him, so he looked back at you and he gave you the bird.

Blue: “Look, lets stop all the shit talking and discuss where the fuck we are going to go.”
Jericho: “All I know is, Meena, shut the fuck up about your story, the whole block was clear of people, cause they killed everyone, other wise I would not have blown it. I don’t like senseless killing, in fact I hate it. If your fine ass has a problem with that, take it up with my man Blue.”

With that said he started to laugh and than red started to laugh as he was tinkering with some bombs. Out of nowhere he tossed a pack of smokes at Meena and it hit the wall at the side of her head.

Jericho: “You have to be more aware, you might be good with a gun, but how good are you at fighting? Go ahead and smoke one.”

You heard another man from the gunner’s chair yell down.

“Will all of you bitches shut up down there, tell that hot stripper that I want a lap dance when we stop.”
Jericho: “You better shut the fuck up, before she crawls up there and rips your dick off and than she beats the shit out of you with it.”
Green: “Tell her to eat my dick.”

Jericho looks to Meena and smiles.

“Sorry the normal one here is always me, they are all animals, well Blue has a good head, but the rest of my team are animals that can fuck things up. So excuse them.”
Black: “Speak for yourself Jericho, I am a complete gentleman, stop being so rude to the woman back there, before I slap some sense into all of you and teach you some manners.”

Jericho slams the driver door shut.

“Don’t mind him, he is a faggot. Don’t listen to him, he doesn’t know what he is talking about.”
Black: “Don’t slam this door on me, that is very rude and I will shove a AWP bullet up your ass, you know you cant escape my sights.”
Jericho: “One fucking time you hit me with your stupid gun, cause fucking blue tried to rape me in the ass, with his stupid stealth suit. So shut the fuck up, what about every other time you tried to hit me, you never did, cause you suck. I even out sniped your ass while moving and with out a scope. So stop bragging.”
Green: “All of you shut up, you are giving me a headache and I cannot concentrate on tuning up my weapon.”
Jericho: “That is all you do, tune your weapon up, they are good, stop worrying, if you are not tuning, than you are loading your bullets in clips. Get a fucking life.”
Green: “Can never be to ready.”
Jericho: “He is always paranoid that we are going to get attacked out of no where. But we never have.”
Green: “And time we do I will be ready and you will be kissing my ass, cause I am covering your asses.”
Jericho: “Yeah, yeah.”

Jericho the whole time sat there with a smile on his face and you caught him looking your legs over a few times, but he always looked out the window.

Jericho: “So, Meena, why don’t you tell us about yourself?”

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena closed her eyes as the bullshit session was going on and lay her head back.

"God! I just dropped into the lowest level of hell!" She muttered to herself,"Somebody get me some asprin!"

When the cigarettes hit the window, she opened her eyes and picked them up, looking at them dubiously wondering if they were rigged to blow up and where the trigger was. Deciding that she didn't care and if it did blow her up at least she would be away from the wise asses, she opened the pack and took one out, smoking it, grateful for the nicotine but disappointed that she was still there in the vehicle after the first puff.

Looking over to Jerico she raised and eyebrow and said,"The City News, Mr Unix. I assume you read? Or do you just blow up the newspaper and delivery boy when its delivered in the morning? You want to know about me, its in the news. An article or two of mine about you as well. Besides, I thought you guys were experts at getting information. You wanna know, look it up."

Meena leaned back and began stroking Silky while she smoked. What the hell had she gotten herself into? The only conclusion that she could come up with at the moment is that the men in the vehicle with her could seriously use a trip to the nearest brothel though she pitied the girls when they did go.

She glanced over at Jerico, caught him gazing at her and then looking away and shook her head. He was a mystery. She wondered what was under that bullshit facade or if that was all there was. She kind of doubted it. You didn't live through the shit he did and have that be all there was.

Leaning back again in her seat she called up to the driver. "When the hell do we get where wer're going?"

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He looked to Meena and he smiled.

“Well, if I wanted to look it up, I would have told Blue to do it. But I want to hear it from you, so if you could tell me that would be great. You seem like such a interesting person Meena, you are a crazy woman, but still interesting.”

He smiled again at you and Blue and Red were waiting for you.

“Oh when you toss your butt, douse it in the ashtray at your side, and where we are going we have no idea. We are trying to figure a place out to go, but if you have a place to go, can you let us go.”
Blue: “I told you where I wanted to go earlier.”
Jericho: “Uh I don’t think she would want to go to the club and see naked woman dancing around stupid. Think with out your dick.”
Blue: “Yeah, yeah fuck off.”

Jericho still stares at you and he smiles.

“So are you going to tell us about you, or are you still trying to make us think you are a bad ass? You don’t have to act hard in here, we accept you for you. Let me show you something.”

He snaps his finger and Silky runs from Meena and goes over to Jericho and lays in his lap and Jericho pets the cat. He keeps that smile on his face.

“I think your cat likes me.”

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena looked at Jerico stunned. "I'm crazy? Look, compared to what you have destroyed in just this one night three motorcycles, five SUV's (you got one of them remember) and a helecopter is pretty tame."

Rubbing her forehead, Meena said,"You mean you guys dont have a non mobile base? Okay, my editor owns a huge cabin in the hills. It has three stories and enough rooms for all of us...separate rooms and is kept stocked in case he wants an improptu get away." Giving them directions, she sat back and stared upwards, muttering, "Why do I have a feeling I am going to owe Greg a new cabin after this is all done?"

Looking over to where Silky was curled up on Jerico's lap she said,"He also likes to hide dead and decomposed mice and birds under my kitchen stove. And...he doesnt check references. I do. Jerico Unix, or better known as Death Reborn. Once part of the Sydicate, and supposidly killed awhile back and known for being one of the best with any type of weapon made as well as a long list of martial arts. The death toll wracked up while in the Sydicate was so large some lost count. The amount of destruction of property was also huge...and seems to be continuing to this day."

Shrugging, she said,"Me, I'm a cop's daughter. Only child and Dad wanted a son. I was taught to shoot and, yes, fight. I can hold my own when I have to which I have had to in many cases though not as much as since I met you. I was sent to Military School...that part was not just a flip remark...I really was. While I was in school my Mother and Father were killed in a house fire that was suspicious but never proved. Doing some digging on my own I found a Syndicate connection. I don't know what my Dad had on them that they felt he needed to die but one day I will. That was several years ago. Instead of running after them for revenge I worked and became a reporter. Changed my name for the Byline...my last name is not Gottard but no one knows that...not even the Syndicate. That way when i was ready to make my move to hurt them I could. That opportunity arose and died yesterday when my shot of that deal went down the drain. Now I dont even know the government official they were supposed to have put the hit out on much less have pictures to prove it." She glared at Blue,"Thank you very much!"

Turning to Jerico, she added,"So, I told you about me...lets hear about you...beyond the media fluff. What happened after you obviously faked your death and what the hell kind of organization is this?"

Jericho

He heard her tale and he only smiled at her, but the whole time they were in the car he held his shoulder and hid his injury from you all. He only nodded, his head and kept that smile on his face.

“I am so sorry that happened, I wish I could have been there, I would have stopped them. You ask about me, there is nothing to tell, I am only a man seeking justice and peace. I don’t want to see any more innocent people get hurt, that is what I am and I will fight for the peace of this earth, even if it means that I do this for the rest of my life. But my story, I have no story.”

With that he dropped his head down and now stared at the ground with his sunglasses on. Blue looked to him holding his shoulder.

Blue: “Are you ok Sir? You don’t look so good.”
Jericho: “I am fine, don’t worry about me.”

He didn’t look up at anyone anymore; he just sat there with his head aimed at the ground.

Blue: “Well, since he is Mr. Gloom and Doom, now I guess I will have to tell you that we don’t have a mobile base, but if it is ok that we stay at your bosses cabin, than we shall go there, if you are wondering who we are, we are just men fighting for Jericho’s cause, we are his best friends and his only family, and we would die for him, just like he would take a bullet for one of us. That is how we are.”

Blue again looked to Jericho, and he was about to move over to him, but Jericho put his gun in his face and cocked the hammer back. Silky looked up at Blue and than put his head back down and went back to sleep.

Jericho: “Don’t come near me Blue, I told you I was fine, so stay away from me. That is an order.”

All that ran thought Jericho’s mind was the thought that he was there at the time with Furious when they killed a cop and his wife when the cop was getting to close to pinning some big time allegations on the Syndicate, so they were ordered to kill him, but Jericho tried to stop Furious, he told him that there was a better way, but Furious tricked Jericho into lighting the match and it was Jericho that burned the house down. After that, everything changed, he murdered the innocent, he was use to killing gangsters and things like that, but not the innocent, his life was changed there. That was the thought running though his mind as they drove. He muttered something as they went along.

“I am so sorry Meena.”

He knew her last name, but he didn’t want to say anything, cause it would destroy her to know that she was traveling with the man that killed her father and mother. So he would have to keep his mouth shut and find a way to tell her.

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena kept looking over at Jerico with a strange look on her face. She knew that there had to be more to the story than that but she didn't push. She also knew that something was wrong and, when he put a gun into Blue's face, she was positive. Crushing out her cigarette, she knelt in the seat and moved over to him.

"Stop playing the goddamn hero, Jerico," She snapped at him,"And get that fucking thing out of his face before I get angry."

Pushing his right hand, his gun hand away and over her back and looked at his left arm which hung limply in his lap. He was sitting on the right of her so his left hand was by the door and not easily reachable.

"Nothing wrong, my ass," She muttered as she pushed Silky off of his lap and scooted onto it herself, looking at his shoulder since there was no blood visible on his arm. She could see nothing on the front and so she craned her neck to check the back, placing her hand over his shoulder as she did so. She felt something wet and sticky on her hand and pressed herself up against him to see his jacket was torn in the back with blood oozing from the hole.

"Shit, Jerico!" She said and then to Blue,"Get me a knife and first aide kit, now! He's been hit!" Feeling a knife placed in her hand, she says,"I hope you have a good tailor or a closet full of these jackets cause this one is about to be a lost cause."

Placing the blade of the knife under the neck of the jacket, she cut to the shoulder and down, peeling it away from the wound. She did the same for the shirt, revealing the wound and ignoring any and all protests.

"Damn," She said,"Next time you guys get a vehicle make it with a little more room. This is difficult doing it this way. Blue, hand me some antiseptic. I don't think the bullets still in there but we won't know until we can get him to the cabin and I can examine it further."

When the antiseptic is given to her she says,"Grit your teeth, this is gonna hurt like hell." And she poured the liquid liberally on the wound, holding him still with her body until she could see it was cleaned out. "Okay, antibiotic ointment," She called out and applied that then ,"Give me some gauze and bandages." Which she applied over the wound, wrapping the bandages under the shoulder and around his chest to keep them in place.

Scooting off of Jerico's lap, she said to Blue,"Thats the best I can do for now. Hurry and get us to the cabin. If it needs to be sewn up I can do it there."

Looking at their blank stares, she said,"What? I told you I went to Military school...not to mention news stories in worn torn countries and worlds. Now step on it!"

Jericho

She was trying to take care of her and he wanted to push her off of him, he was fine, but when he was about to he saw her Father in his eyes and he dropped his gun and fell back to see the whole scene again. He gripped the chair and screamed out.

“NOOOOO I DIDN’T MEAN IT!”

She got off of him and Blue went over to him, but he pushed Blue away and looked to Meena and shook his head. He than picked his gun up and opened the door and jumped out, and you saw him land wrong and land on his shoulder that he was shot in. He than started to run down the street and was soon long gone.

Blue: “Shit, where is he going? Hang on ill track him. Oh fuck.”

If you followed his stare, you saw his com device, on the floor.

Blue: “Just great, now we have no way to track him and help him. What the fuck is wrong with him; does he even know where we are going? Red what should we do? Guys tell me what we should do now, I have never seen him like this, Meena what the fuck happened between you to?”

Jericho held his shoulder as it was way more fucked up than it was in the beginning, he was on the run, now that he knew who she really was, Meena Lawrence, he didn’t know how to deal with this, it was like he was looking at that cop, and he didn’t like that, he was tricked and if it wasn’t for Furious, than that would not have happened. He punched a wall and put a huge hole through it. He felt so bad.

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena looked at the men in bewilderment. "What the fuck do you mean what do you do? STOP THE GODDAMN CAR!"

As it came screetching to a halt, Meena opened the door and lept out. "His shoulder was bad. With that fall out of the car its going to be bleeding even worse. Blue, come with me and bring a flashlight. The rest of you turn the freakin vehicle around and use your headlights to see if you can spot him. He's injured and cant get too far away."

Instructing Blue to shine the light on the ground, Meena walked forward slowly, signalling where he was to sweep. "There should be quit a bit of blood from the impact and then judge the direction he went from there."

Seeing a flash of white in the light, she said,"No...there..." Bending down she picked up what remained of the bandage she had made. Under the bandage was the pool of blood from the impact.

"This will make it easier," She said walking along the ground with her eyes down,"If the bandage is off he should be bleeding freely now. Yes, over there...." They had found the trail of blood.

Walking slowly, they followed the trail, Meena fuming at the fact that while they had to walk so as not to lose the trail he was running. When they came to the wall with the hole, Meena nodded. "We are definatly going the right way."

 

[amon_darknight]

Jericho

He falls to one knee and punches his shoulder and he lets out a primal scream, it echo’s off the walls and sounds like a monster of some sort. He senses that someone is coming behind him. He turns a corner and he tosses his jacket off and throws it to the floor beside where the ally he was in. He drew his handguns, he only had two clips, but that is all he needed. He sat there and waited, than he heard a woman’s voice and a mans voice that sounded like Blue’s, but he saw they saw his jacket and he popped out and held a both guns to Blue’s head and to his back, his bad shoulder was hurting bad, but he held that one to his back and his good arm was at his head.

“What the fuck are you doing here Blue, Meena, I told you to leave me alone. Now, I am not afraid to shoot, make no move to attack me and don’t even turn your locator on. You got me Blue.”

He looked to Meena and his face was pale and his eyes were heavy, but he still had a serious look on his face.

“Meena don’t try and be a hero, don’t make a move. I will pull the trigger and shoot Blue.”

He saw her again and he didn’t know what to do now, he saw her father and again let out a scream that sounded like a demon of some sort.

“I am sorry for this… things are getting out of hand.”

With that he fell back and slammed his head on the wall and was unconscious.

OOC: This happened before he passed out, please bare with me.



Jericho

Blue: “Don’t be stupid, Jericho, you are suffering from that wound, your mind is exhausted from your body going on and bleeding and all your fighting. Now put the guns down. And let us help you.”

Jericho was breathing hard and was barely able to concentrate. You could see the guns in his hands dropping down and than rising back up.

Jericho: “I am sorry brother, I just need some time to straighten my head out. So please leave me alone, I don’t know what to do right now.
Blue: “Tell me what is going on and I might be able to help you, I will rally the team and we will help you. Please boss, you are not well.”
Jericho: “I told you I am fine. Meena please tell Blue that I am fine, look at me.”
Blue: “Don’t be stupid, you need help, we are not your enemy.”
Jericho: “I know brother, I just want to be alone. I am sorry… I uhh”

 

[BlueEyedLady]

Meena watched as Jerico hit the ground and then came to his side and looked at his wound, seeing that it was bleeding pretty bad. Her only thought being of stopping the blood flow, she stripped off her T Shirt and held it over the wound to stop the bleeding.

Looking up to Blue who was staring at her in just her bra and jeans she gave him a dark look.

"Call the others and lets get him to the cabin. He really needs a doctor but we cant afford to take him to a hospital."

Blue seemed to snap out of the daze he was in and looked at her in disbelief now.

"I cant belive he held a gun on me!" He said.

"Blue, are you his friend or not? Friends stick together no matter what. Now get the fucking car over here!"

"I can't believe he held TWO guns on me! What the fuck is wrong with him?!"

"Get the goddamn car over here now or you will have a bruise on the other side of your jaw and I will hold a gun to a place you are obviously very fond of by your comments to me all night!"


When the car came, the guys managed to get Jerico into it without too much trouble and they sped off to the cabin, Meena sitting in the backseat with Jerico and holding the T Shirt on his wound and ignoring the stares she was getting from the others.

They made it to the cabin in record time and hustled Jerico into the nearest room on the lowest floor and put him to bed. Meena tended to his shoulder, making sure no lead was in it, using a needle and thread to sew it up (thank god he was unconscious) and putting medicine and bandages on him before covering him up with a sheet.

Going to the bathroom and cleaning herself up, she noticed blood on her jeans. She sighed, they never did pick up her bags and she didn't have a change of clothes. Looking through the closets, she found an oversized shirt of Greg's and, stripping out of her jeans, she donned the shirt which covered her body down to just above her knees and went back into the room to sit on a chair by Jerico's bedside, keeping an eye on him as he slept, Silky curled up by his feet.

Jericho

He rested and he woke up refreshed and healed. He felt his shoulder and looked to it and saw it was fully healed. He had weird dreams of his wounds closing by themselves, but it was very strange. He had no idea on why he dreamt that, he didn’t even know what happened. He saw Meena resting in a chair and he felt something on his chest, and saw Silky on his chest. He smiled and he looked to Meena again, he would tell her one day, but not now. She was not ready for the truth. He said something he thought he said in his mind, but she might have heard him, it was not clear though.

“Meena Lawrence.”

He walked to the window and stepped out to the balcony and sat there under the sun, he looked over and he saw Green and Red both sitting there tuning guns and making bombs, they looked over and waved at Jericho and he waved back. He than sat there as Silky again walked over and curled up in his lap and sat there and went back to sleep. Jericho shook his head and sat in the sun and smiled. He was not bothered by the thoughts today, and he hoped he was pass that, but he didn’t know.

Blue walked in a few minutes later and saw Jericho was gone and he tapped Meena in the boob on accident.

Blue: "Oh sorry Meena, didnt mean to do that. Where is Jericho? Oh shit I hope he didnt run off again. I am getting so pissed, he didnt even say I am sorry for pulling a gun on me. Sometimes I think he hates me sometimes, I guess I am not made for this team. When you see him, tell him I will be fixing my comp up. Thank you for taking care of my best friend."

Blue walked out and left you alone in the room.
