I had a decision to make and I had to make it quickly. Worst case scenario I can save Jen and Painkiller gets loose and he tries to kill her....Best case scenario I can save Jen and have her get away before Painkiller acts on the kill order. Painkiller was pacing in our shared headspace. He craved the fights no matter who it was against.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Priscilla asked. Philky interrupted " Pris, I don't think that's a good idea" he warned. " Come on guys, you know I can help, plus if PainKiller pops out I'm the only other one aside from Khalil that can go in there and handle him." I raised my eyebrows in agreement.Priscilla had a point. She was one of the best fighters I've seen and her powers were incredibly useful. We were stuck between a rock and a hard place so I figured the backup would be nice. "You wanna bring this pain in the ass along?" Painkiller scoffed. Gambi sent over the tracking information and we set out to rescue Jennifer.
We approached a hotel.
Nothing looked remotely sketchy about it but looks can be deceiving in Akashic Valley. "You good Khalil?" Priscilla asked. " Yeah, Pris, let's go" I replied. She cleared her throat. "Ahhmp" I looked over to her confused. After a second I got what she was doing. She wants to be taken more seriously amongst the guys so when we're on missions she wants to be called by her alias. "I'm sorry, let's go Voodoo". She smiled "That's more like it". We spotted a couple of the hotel workers as we walked in. The good thing about Pris coming along was I didn't have to make such a dramatic entrance. The hotel was busy but that didn't stop one of the bellhops from coming over "Do you all have reservations?" He looked suspicious but I'm suspicious of everyone. There ain't no telling who was all involved in this. I wanted to sneak through the vents but Pris said the dramatics weren't necessary she'd just do some Jedi mind trick if push came to shove. All she had to do was make eye contact and they would all do as she wished. The host blankly smiled and said " Ah yes, we remember your party, let us know if you need anything else during your stay"We were walking in plain sight.
We reached the elevator and walked in. As soon as the doors closed she let out a squeal. " It worked" she gleamed. "This bitch" Painkiller was amused yet annoyed. He preferred to work alone. He had just recently gotten to a point where he tolerated me. " you know they really outta have better security, somebody could get kidnapped". she joked. " Too soon?" She asked with a gin on her face. She had one of the darkest senses of humor. Between her and Painkiller I was the Dalai Lama. The watch Philky built for me started to vibrate as we took the elevator up. " We must be close," I said. "We are" painkiller replied.
We got up to the penthouse floor it was dark.The only thing illuminated was the keycard on the door. The air was chilly. Chillier than your usual hotel. A voice echoes out of the darkness. "Welcome, we've been expecting you". The voice sounded familiar. I had no idea from where. We heard the rustling of guns and soldiers getting into position. Did these fools think it was gonna be easy? They thought they were gonna capture us? PainKiller was rearing to go. He was hyping himself up in the foyer like he was Muhammad Ali. He knew it was time and I didn't show any resistance. I motioned my arms saying lead the way. I felt bad for the men on the other side of Pain Killers' wrath. Not that bad though. Pris was definitely holding her own like usual.
The henchmen fell one by one leaving a trail to the door. After the last man fell PainKiller and I switched places. He dusted his hands off and gave me control. It was like he got his fix. I knew Jennifer was close by so I didn't know how long that initial fix would last.
The door clanked like a safe was opening. Priscilla kicked the door open wider and we both prepared for impending trouble. We were met with.... nothing.The space was huge. Futuristic architecture and high windows. It was like this person had nothing to hide. The lights were motion detected. "We knew you'd come for her," a voice said. It was strong, menacing yet sultry.
" Who are you?" Priscilla yelled.
"I shouldn't be rude to our special guests...My name is Mya...Mya Odell"
Painkiller sprang awake " like agent Odell? Who procreated with his crazy ass?".
"Painkiller isn't it? You'd think you had more respect. My father saved your life"
"I don't know if that's what you can call this. Why don't you come down here so I can show you how disrespectful I can get".Painkillers' sarcasm struck a nerve.HEY GUYS! IM SOOOOO sorry this took so long and plus it's kinda short (to me) My birthday week came up and then I was super busy with work stuff after that. I'm hoping I don't have a hiatus like this again. There is probably going to be a part 3 to this chapter. Possibly from Jennifer's POV but we will see. I might change my mind in the morning lol Also for those reading Electric feel I'm like 3/4 done with the next chapter of that so ill update that soon too. Sorry for any typos I'm sleepy lol
