Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Chapter 42

~*Purgatory.*~

Gat stood in Purgatory amongst the bodies of the Samedi, and glaring at the Lieutenants who could not meet his eye. "Where. Is. She?" He asked once more.

"We don't know. We tried calling her. She never picked up."

"New question. How the fuck did these bitches get in here? Who the fuck was watching the place?"

Pierce pointed to Shaundi, who instantly went into defense mode. "No, I was on the phone with you when I told you Boss Lady got snatched. You told me not to call Gat."

Johnny turned to Pierce and took two steps. Gat snatched him by the collar of his shirt. Pierce lost color. "Hey man, listen. We... We... We didn't want to bother you cause we knew she couldn't be far. I was gonna call you!" He stammered out as he held his hands up in defence, cringing.

"Take your ass out there and fuckin' find her. I don't give a fuck how long it takes. You got me?" Gat growled. Seeing Pierce nod his head vigorously, he let him go. He didn't have to tell the others they all scrambled.

Ramon, Carlos, and Ren stood there dumbfounded. Kyouki was taken? Taken by the Sons, why would they do something as stupid as that?
Carlos looked at Ramon. " Hermano gonna head to the university. She may be around there." Ramon nodded. Carlos and Ren left to go in search.

Ramon walked up to Gat and patted his shoulder. "G, don't do this. You know if there is something wrong, she will call. She's good for slipping off, man, you know this. She's a fighter, like, ya know."

Gat rubbed his face in frustration. "Yeah. You right. But we just got her back." His cell rang. An unknown number showed on the screen. His first move was to not answer. This time, he picked up.

"Hey G. I will be back soon. I'm so sorry about the food. I owe you."

Gat felt like his legs were jelly. "Where are you?" Ramon patted his back. He then went to call Carlos, but Gat stopped him. Pulling Ramon, they started for the stairs.

"I'm in the last place you would expect. But it's a funny story. Can I tell you later? I'm like exhausted."

"Not until you tell me where you are." Nothing but silence for a few moments. Hearing her sigh, he prompted her again. "Ky."

"I'm with Troy."

"I'm coming to get you, address now."

"No, I need rest. I'll see you tomorrow or whenever."

"Think of that bitch lyin' to you." Gat's voice was almost pleading.

"I know. Hey, can you go get my car? It's around the corner from the Food Trucks at Uni."

"I am coming to get you after."

Kyouki knew he wouldn't let her off the phone until he had sight of her, but she didn't want him beating on Troy. He saved her life again. Giving Gat the address, he hung up and had Ramon follow him.
As punishment, he wasn't going to let the others know she was safe. Ramon called Carlos to tell him to take Ren home and he would be home soon.

~*Troy's*~

A knock on Troy's door was more like the cops, almost banging the door down. Troy helped Kyouki to the door. "Good night, get some rest." He whispered in her ear.

Reaching for his face, she rubbed his lip with her thumb. "Thank you." Kyouki whispered back. He then hid from sight. Opening the door. "Johnny, that you?" Ky called out into the night.

Gat looked at her and she had bandages wrapped around her eyes.

Ramon stood there with his mouth open in shock. "What happened?" Ramon breathed out, looking between her and Gat.

Kyouki felt the door frame and stepped out into the night air, slowly closing the door behind her. She felt a bit saddened, but Gat would not let her be alone with Troy. Reaching for Johnny, she knew he was near on top of her and felt his heat. Touching his stomach, her hand slid up to his chest. Pushing him back a bit, he got the message and moved to allow her to walk.
Johnny took her hand, squeezing it. She could feel his heart pounding in his ribs before he held her hand in his.

Ramon took a hold of her elbow. " Jefa , que paso?" Ramon asked again.

"I got into a minor accident. Troy saved me." She smiled. If she could see the looks on their faces, she would probably bust a gut laughing.

Johnny led her to the car. The shock of seeing her like this sent him into a fury. "So what happened?" He needed more to go on, cause he was definitely going after whoever did this.

"I met with Mr. Sunshine and The General." Ky shrugged as it was what happened. Technically.

Knew that wasn't what he asked. Johnny stopped just before the cars and took several deep breaths. "Your eyes? What the fuck happened to your eyes?"

"Organ donation?" Ky was trying to make light of the situation. She did not want to say what happened. It was uncomfortable enough for her to feel that way in the first place.

" Jefa ." Ramon warned.

Turning her head to the sound of his voice, she sighed.

Johnny was rubbing his face, and this woman was making jokes. "You were gone for hours. We all been calling you and you end up with Troy. Your eyes got messed up when Sunshine and The General met you! What the fuck happened?" Johnny was at his limit.

Kyouki was not going to get into this and was not going to turn Johnny loose. "Nothing, now drop it. I am too tired to talk about it anymore. Take me to Purgatory." Kyouki was addressing Ramon after she barked back at Johnny. Kyouki was too tired to argue.

"Nah. Not tonight." Johnny opened the car door, snatched the bag of sandwiches that lay cold in the seat, tossed them into the back and helped Kyouki get in.

Kyouki groaned loudly. She knew this was going to happen. Kyouki just knew that Gat was going to take over. She would have to keep what happened under wraps. As the only other person who knows what went down was Troy, she was glad Troy would rather keep his life than rat her out. Ramon kissed the top of her head with a goodbye. With another sigh, she heard the car door closed and then took off to Aisha's cause that's where she was going to be grounded until her vision returned.

~*Diner Misty Lane*~

The drive to Aisha's was long and quiet. Kyouki's stomach growled. Gat looked over at her. He doesn't know what to do with her. She is a magnet for trouble. "So, how ya feelin'?" He couldn't be mad at her. Whatever happened, it was something, and she was refusing to tell him. He texts Aisha to let her know they will be home soon.

Kyouki sighed and yawned. "Comfortable... and starving." She would have to kill those assholes for ruining her cheat day.

"You gonna be aight?" Johnny needs to make sure she is okay at all times.

"Yeah, I'm good here. Just hungry. I'm so mad. I really wanted that sandwich."

Gat knew it was late, and he was hungry too. Taking a few extra turns and detours, he came to a diner near the house. "Imma go in and get something. Can you sit here and not get into trouble?"

Kyouki grinned. "Oh yeah, I'll be here." Feeling a kiss on her temple, she turned to Gat, who already closed the door to the car. " Baka no Oshiri ."
