Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Untitled Part 98

~*Sun Destiny.*~

Dane led Kyouki further down to one of the large rooms on the floor below them. There she stood, mortified. Dane had the board members sitting bound to chairs, with a bloody strung up Heyward. Men in dark suits brought back a rising fear in Kyouki. "W-what... i-is t-t-this." She stuttered, cursing herself. She needed to get out of there fast.

"Surprise! You know how I am. I could hardly wait. This has been prepared for you. I present the now agreeing Ultor Board members. As if you need no introductions, but Anton Heyward has insulted you one too many times, and out of your presents, I might add. I feel as if he should be the first to apologize. Anton?" Dane asked as he looked over at the bloodied man hanging by a ceiling fixture.

When the portly man did not respond, Dane looked to his driver. "Jones, you rendered him unconscious? Now, how is he supposed to apologize?"

Kyouki looked each board member in the eye and saw the terror and fear within them, gagged as to muffle their whimpers. Dane continued to reprimand his right hand.

Jones bowed his head. "My apologies Mr. Vogel."

"Whichever. Either way, this is my gift to you. Jones, if you please."

Jones pulled from his hip a silver gun and fired a shot into the closest woman next to him. Kyouki jumped out of her skin. Visibly trembling, the muffled whimpers grew to noises she wished she could drown out. "Dane, w-what the hell are you d-doing! S-stop this in-instant!" Kyouki shrieked, stumbling to stand between Jones and the others.

Dane took her by the arm, having to catch her to keep her from hitting the carpeted floor. "My Lady, I will be CEO after tonight. When we marry, we will be on equal footing." Another shot rang out.

The fear held in Kyouki's eyes as she watched Dane having execute one by one the members of the board before her. Ripping herself from his grasp, she ran to the door, wrenching it open, falling out into the hall.

Dazed, Aisha punched and kicked Shogo as he was dragging her to the lifeboat. Hearing several shots she hit Shogo so hard she left a cut on his face, Shogo backhanded her, forcing her to sit down and behave. "If you don't want to die right here, I suggest you sit there and don't make any other moves."

Holding her cheek, Aisha did as instructed. The lifeboat started, gliding across the water at a decent speed, headed back to land. Aisha turned to look at the ship getting smaller in the distance.

Johnny had an eye on Aisha and Kyouki when they went to the Oyabun. He watched Dane lead Ky away, and Shogo dance with Aisha, knowing that Ky can handle herself well despite the situation. He took a glass of wine and drank it, waiting for either of the women to return. He choked on his wine after overhearing how much each plate cost for the night. Then the shot, a dull sounding bang, then one after in several successions, people scrambled. "The fuck?" Johnny went to look for Aisha. When he saw the Oyabun, he know he saw Aisha with them. Jyunichi listening by the elder Akuji's side. "Where is Aisha?" He glared at Jyunichi.

The bald man looked confused, then out to the crowd of squirming, frightened people. "She was with Shogo for a dance."

Johnny looked back. She was no longer on the dance floor. "Where is Shogo? Kyouki"

"She went with Dane Vogel. No, there she is." Kazuo answered, heading to his niece with Johnny and Jyunichi behind him.

"Kyouki, come back!" Dane called her. "Shit. Jones, finish here, then turn the ship around. And clean up." Dane left after the woman.

Kyouki was stumbling her way back. Gripping the dress in her hand, she climbed the steps and tripped into Johnny's grasp.

Johnny held her upright. She was sweating. "What the fuck, you aight?" He looked her over. Her breathing was hard, and she was trembling.
