Vengeance:

24

The caves, as distant as they were from them, looked beautiful. The sun rose high above the gorge and shimmered gloriously upon its contents. Their car rolled through the gorge and stopped in an empty parking space next to the shut down cave system. "Used to be the most beautiful cave system within a fifty mile radius. Shut down ten years ago. Now it's just a gorge people drive through to get to surrounding areas." Logan said as he exited the car and froze a few feet away from the blocked entrance; "Why'd it shut?" Bronson asked, joining his side and staring into the darkness within. "Someone was killed by a falling stalagmite or a cave crystal, never did know the name of it. It was starting to crumble away from the ceiling eleven years ago, owner knew about it but refused to take it down. One day it just let go and dropped straight down into a child's head." Logan walked further forward and pushed the barricade down. Bronson cringed in fright and walked forward quickly to cath up with Logan. Their torches lit up with a bright light and the light shimmered about the place. The ray's touched every nook and cranny of the caves and revealed every beautiful crystal it had to offer. Slow footsteps echoed quietly through the space, as did the dripping of water from the top of the cave. Eventually they reached an open room which was extremely large. It was lit up by several stage lights and even had a higher up platform which looked onto the ground. Their was many briefcases scattered about the place and a clap echoed throughout the room. "Very impressive Detective Logan. Or should I say, Captain?" Snake said, his ugly face appearing into the bright room. "Snake?!?" Logan said in shock. He knew he was alive but still refused to believe it; "How?" Snake shrugged and turned around in a complete circle nodding as he moved; "Beautiful place, huh? Always loved this cave. Wondering how I found it? The owner of the place discovered it eleven years ago and, being part of Dong's gang, gave it over to him. Dong liked the place but after it got closed down, police started to realise people entered here and there was a massive raid here. Dong was chased away and, with his rage of losing so many men and a perfect hideout; he killed the owner. I found it after leaving prison." Snake said and Logan stared at him with anger in his eyes; "That doesn't answer my question!" Snake sniggered and his fingers clicked. From the gloom came Falcon, grinning like mad and a straight razor wielded in his right hand. "Hello Logan." Logan scowled at Falcon and rushed at him. Bronson jumped up onto the platform and his face was met with a clenched fist. He staggered backwards rubbing his cheek. He noticed Snake coming forward and his stomach collapsed beneath Snake's boot and he was sent to the floor.
Logan ducked under Falcon's punch and jabbed into his ribs. Falcon stepped back and laughed; "Your brother got what was coming to him. Now, you will too." Logan grunted and charged, his arms wrapping around Falcon's waist and he sent him sprawling into the wall. Falcon struggled free from Logan's grip and he slammed both his fists onto the centre of Logan's spine. He toppled over and Falcon kicked into his ribs.
Snake continued punching, each one slammed into Bronson's face or stomach. Eventually Bronson regained concentration and control and ducked. Snake's fist slammed against the pole of the stage light and Bronson kicked into Snake's rear. He fell face first into the stage light. He wiped the blood away from his nose as he stood and laughed. He stepped forward and smirked. His grin was intimidating and Bronson began to fear for his life.
Falcon was on the floor crying out as each of his ribs cracked beneath each of Logan's heavy kicks. "You killed my bother because he sold you out to Carol. He did what he had to, if he didn't he would have been stuck in hell with you leading the way." He kicked on but Falcon's fingers wrapped aroun his ankle and Logan lost balance and fell. Falcon climbed ontop of him and punched into Logan's face. Logan's nose began to pour out blood, his vision became blurred and he didn't move. Falcon screamed something at him and smiled as he pulled his fist back. As it came down Logan's head turned left and Falcon's punch landed with the floor, his knuckles making a painful yet satisfying crunch. He screamed and toppled onto his side, screaming and holding his hand in agony.
Snake stumbled backwards, still on his feet. His fists were raised to his head and he smiled, the blood trickling into the gaps in his closed mouth. "Wanna know how I survived Jason?" He sniggered keeping on the balls of his feet. Bronson nodded as he lurched forward, Snake twirled to the right and walked to Bronson's original position. Bronson lost balance and fell down onto his knees. "I knew Jason would want me dead for selling him out, to be honest I only sold him out because my dear sweet Theresa was afraid of killing a man and I wanted her happy, anyway, I paid a guy to look like me and him and Theresa were kidnapped. Theresa was to tell Jason she wanted to join him whilst I refused. I would be killed and she would find out his plans, sell him out to the Police. The Police would keep her in a holding cell until the Riots finish so she would be safe. Then I sent her to get me an object that was previously in the possession of Thomas. This object was being kept safe by Jason but now it's mind. I've been planning this for years and you will not stop me." A thick cloud of dust surrounded him and concealed him, when it evaporated into the atmosphere he was gone and all that was left was a note saying; "Meet me at the back of the Mayor's house tomorrow at 6pm."
Logan looked at Falcon, who was still crying and cradling his hand, and spat at his insignificance. "He's gone." Bronson said, hopping down from the platform. Logan spun on his heels, nodding. "Ok." Logan cuffed Falcon and dragged him away as he began to walk away and Bronson followed, folding the note and putting it into his pocket.
