Phantom Rider: The Aftermath | Book 1

United Enemies

Bill's POV - Tokyo, Japan

Georg did all he could. He arranged a private plane to Tokyo the very same evening. It cost a fortune, but he knew that if Bill acted like this, it was more than serious. Once he landed at the airport, Gustav and Georg were already there.

Bill got off the plane, his eyes pitch black. Georg recognized the mania right away. Bill looked exactly like Tom, and he knew - people would die.

"Do you have what I asked for?" Bill commanded in a completely cold voice.

"Here." Georg handed him a packet of white powder. Bill didn't even try to hide it and snorted a long line of coke right on the spot.

"Let's go, we have people to kill," he said, rushing to the car.

Gustav and Georg exchanged looks. They knew things were about to get messy, so they also sniffed the white powder to be on the same vibe as Bill.

Their cars sped to Shibuya. At the entrance of the warehouse where Mila's gang headquarters lay, Bill stepped out of the car, loading his guns. He kicked the locked doors open. As he walked into the building, people seeing him stepped back in fear. Georg and Gustav followed closely.

"Run, you fucking idiots!" Bill screamed, opening fire. People ran for their lives.

Sergei heard the noise and was already prepared. "Alice, hide, they are here!" he commanded as Alice took off through the second exit.

He took his rifle and waited. Bill kicked the door open and, without hesitation, ran into the office room, grabbing Sergei by his clothes and pulling him close to his hate-consumed face, kicking the gun right out of Sergei's hands.

"Where the fuck is she?" he shook the old man.

Sergei kept his calm, knowing all too well Bill was not going to kill his only lead on finding Mila.

"She's home!" he said confidently, still being held close to Bill's insane face.

Bill swallowed loudly. At that moment, Sergei knew he had him. He kicked the gun out of Bill's hand and, with a quick move, forced his head down onto the table, using the very same move Mila used in her fights.

"You little boy have no idea who you are trying to fight here!" Sergei pulled Bill's head back by his hair. "You should consider cutting that hair off, by the way," he said in a thick Russian accent.

Bill rolled out of his grip and landed a straight punch between Sergei's eyes. Sergei stumbled back, so he jumped on him, pushing him down to the ground, his fists viciously hitting until Sergei's face turned into a mess of blood.

"If you kill me, you will never find her!" Sergei laughed in Bill's face.

Bill kept hitting , sweat flowing from his forehead, until Sergei's front teeth cracked and flew out of his mouth. Blood dripped from his face, but Sergei still sneered at him in satisfaction. The old man didn't give a shit.

From behind, Alice appeared and swung a large metal chair, hitting Bill in the back of his head, making him dizzy instantly. He lost his balance and stumbled, grabbing by a table next to him just to stay on his feet.

Gustav rushed into the room. "Motherfuckers, waited for me?" he yelled, opening fire. Alice, running for her life, kicked a nearby window and jumped out. Then Gustav picked up Sergei by his collar and threw him across the room.

"You idiots!" Sergei screamed at them. "If I am dead, you will never see her again! Do your fucked-up brains get that?"

Bill gathered new strength and approached him, pressing his gun against Sergei's stomach, ready to shoot. Then he stopped.

"Where is she?" he asked in a deep animal like voice, staring from top at the bleeding man in front of him.

"I told you, she's home!" Sergei laughed once again, making Bill's blood boil.

"Where the fuck is it?" he screamed in the old man's face.

"She's in Russia!" Sergei spat blood from his mouth. Bill's heart sank, realizing she was nowhere near. He pulled Sergei up on his feet. "Tell me how to get there, or I will pull the skin off your eyelids in a slow, painful death."

"What will I get out of that?" Sergei asked.

"I will spare your life!" Bill spat in his face.

"Fine! But only because I know you love her!" Sergei's face turned from fear to understanding.

Bill looked at him and got really confused. "How do you know?"

"You idiot, I have been trying to protect her all along. You are just too egocentric and stupid to see that someone else cares about her too," Sergei said, sitting in the corner of the room, seemingly giving up.

"But trust me, boy, you will get yourself killed there. Don't say I didn't warn you!" Sergei spat out yet another clump of blood from his mouth.
