HEROES

NEVER LET YOU GO

I received Taslim's men and women. Who was in charge was Mika, his daughter.
- Hi, Amanda. My name is Mika. I am Johannes's daughter.
- Mika, how old are you?
- 17.
- This is crazy. Your dad isn't afraid to lose you at this young age?
- Not really, because I will not fight. Who is gonna fight for me is my bodyguard. His name is Sanada.
- Sanada, like the samurais?
- Yeah. He is a samurai. But he can play ninja too.
- Where is he, Mika?
- Sanada? Come over. - He was a japanese man in his 60's and he was using a cape and a mask. His eyes were dark. But his face was mysterious.
- Mr Sanada. Nice to meet you. - He said something in japanese and I could not understand.
- He told you that you are two... I didn't get it. But it doesn't matter. Ludi is in charge now?
- Yeah. He is discussing the attacking plan with Lewis. I will join them now. Jessica, take Mika, Sanada and the others to their places.

How the fuck did that man guessed I was pregnant? Japanese people...
Anyway, I got inside the room where Lewis and Ludi were discussing and I believe they finished it.
- Hey, Amanda! We are done. Do you wanna know how it will happen?
- Of course, Lewis. By the way Ludi, it's gonna be Iko your bodyguard? I told him but he didn't believe me.
- I will tell him myself. Lewis, mind to tell her our plan?
- Of course! Listen up. This is Kang's main territory, right?
- That is his building... In downtown Vancouver.
- Yes. You know it. But first we need to someone for distraction of the police.
- The Taslims. I mean, Mika's men and women.
- Yeah, they can do that. When they attack the main discrict it is our turn to attack the building. Me and my man brought lots of c4 to blow that building from inside out.
- And how we will get Kang?
- You and Ludi will attack him.
- How?
- My men and women, with yours, will deal with his bodyguards and his warriors. You and Iko, Ludi's bodyguard, will have to kill the new bodyguard of Kang. Her name is Tanya...
- How do you know that info Lewis?
- I have insiders. Anyway... Kill Tanya. Let Ludi deal with Kang. He can't call the police because they will be busy with Taslim's warriors.
- And that is how you kill him, Ludi. - I said.
- Let's get rid of this cancer. - Lewis said.
- Sorry to interrupt guys... - Jessica was knocking at the door. - Iko wants to talk to Ludi.
- I will leave you alone now. Gotta practice a little. Where should I go? - Lewis asked.
- I will take you there Lewis. Iko? Get inside. - Jessica offered help.
- Hi.
Jessica closed the door. I was not happy to see him now.
- Amanda told me that you want me to be your bodyguard, right?
- Exactly. Sorry for everything you've been through. I wanna be your friend again and that's the way I found out to get together with you, Iko. Would you do that for me?
- Sure. But I have something to tell you.
- What?
- Amanda is pregnant.
- He is lying, Ludi! - I said.
- What do you mean? Amanda is pregnant from me? - Ludi asked.
- Nope. From me. That is why I ask you to be HER bodyguard, not yours.
- I don't understand. Is it true, Amanda?
I started to cry and I could not hold myself.
- Yes. It's true. Iko, what are you doing?
- I want to protect this baby. I don't wanna lose my son. But she loves you Ludi.
- When did you get pregnant?
- Before you arrive in Portland... Mom would be a great granny.
- I see. You were lovers, I understand. But this son is not only yours, Iko. I will treat him like mine too.
- Guys, I... Don't know if I will keep it.
- No! You will keep it!! Amanda... I beg you. - Iko said.
- You want to rule my body and my decisions?
- Wait. Don't fight. Mandy, think about that after we fight Kang. Iko, you can be her bodyguard then. - Ludi said.
- And who is gonna be your bodyguard Ludi? - I asked.
- I will choose Jessica. She doesn't look like a fighter, but she is and she's awesome.
- Iko, call Jessica over here. - I said.
Jessica was nearby, so she entered the war room.
- What do you want Ludi?
- My uncle would never request your assistance as a fighter. But I want you to be my bodyguard.
- Really? I am so honored! Thank you Ludi. I will protect you with my life. - Jess gave Ludi a hug.
- Get prepared, use your fighter's outfit and we will attack... At dawn.
- Today? - Iko asked.
- We don't have time to waste. Let's go.

We all left the war room. I got inside Ludi's bedroom. We started to chat a little.
- Ludi. I am sorry about this pregnancy. I didn't know. I was pregnant all along the road.
- I know. You don't have to keep it if you don't wanna.
- Thanks Ludi. But I will postpone this decision. It depends on how this fight will go.
- I will make sure to stay alive.
- Me too.
- Iko and Jessica are great fighters... So are we. We are going to get Kang this time.
- I am confident about this. - I said.
He kissed me and we didn't resist, we had to sex a little to relax.

Iko and Jess were having a sparring. He was surprised with Jessica's abilities. She kicks ass.
- I would never expect your fighting skills, Jessica.
- See, I was always protected by mr. Lin. Because he knew what I could do. If something happened to him I was his bodyguard. No one knew that until Ludi and Fernanda did the job for me. I don't know if I could kill Lao.
- I think you could.
- Amanda is high level. I am a little stiff!
- Let's give our best to them. I maybe mad at her right now... But I want her safe, for our baby.
- Wait. Are you going to be a dad? - Jessica asked.
- Yes. I will be a father! Am is pregnant from me since the beginning of it all and she didn't know...
- One more reason to protect her with your life. - Jessica said.

It was time to gather everyone. The men and women from Tan's tong, Taslim's
tong and the Lin's. All of the bodyguards were together. Iko, Jessica, Sanada and Asano, Lewis' bodyguard.
- Everyone, listen. - Mika was there as well. She would not fight, but she was the one to see what would happen in both places and inform us all.
- I will keep you all informed. Sanada, go with our men to the main police station of Vancouver. Here is the address. - She gave one of the women the address and she translated to Sanada. He nodded and they all went away.
- Listen up guys. The women will put C4 all over the building's parking lot. It will explode from the inside as soon as everyone get out. The men will assist Ludi and Amanda, as Asano will be with me, Iko and Jessica. - Lewis said.
- I will reach the top floor with Ludi and there we'll meet Kang. When we kill him, we leave the place immediately, so Lewis can blow the place up. - I said.
- Are we going to win this? - Ludi said.
- Yes!!!! - Everyone was pumped up. Let's go now!

Everyone left the building and we got inside our cars. In between the vans, there was our car. Ludi was driving, Lewis was sitting next to him as I was with Jessica and Iko. He held my hand all along. Jess could feel I was nervous.
- Don't be afraid. We'll make it...
Mika gave a call to Lewis.
- Mika? How is the team Taslim going?
- Sanada practically killed almost all cops who were corrupted by Kang. He can sense things.
- And what else?
- The others kept all the phones off, they cut the power main line and the phones are off too. They are invading the another police station nearby, because someone used the cellphone to warn them.
- But wasn't the signal cut?
- It was only one minute after the slaughter begins. Sanada found the phone. And killed the woman who called them. That's why they are heading to the other police station...
- We're heading to Kang's building. Let me know if there is any movement from them.
- Alright. Mr. Sanada is calling. Gotta go.

This is it. We arrived at Kang's building. It was time to fight for good. For life.
