Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Untitled Part 106

Dexter 'Dex' Jackson was content with his job. His workload was moderate. He didn't stress too much, and the recruits were the easiest of all. Not like the thick headed kids that he once had to train in the Saints.

He shook his head. Why would he think of the Saints? He was done with them for a decade now. Buried deep away from that life, the only person who knew his past was Dane Vogel. And that very man came in practically skipping and beaming; he got married to Kyouki James, once lieutenant, now Leader of the Saints. And Kyouki now has implanted her own eyes and ears in the company.

This didn't seem like a bad idea, but Kyouki is the sole reason Dex has the sudden amassed fortune he has. Hazardous materials were high on the black market. And as Dex being the smart man he is, found a lucrative business for himself. At the behest of Dane. Someone had to fund the R&D boys. Someone needed to keep the lab afloat. Now rubble, Dex had to go with Plan B. He did as Dane asked but found that he could make more. Under, under the table.

What Dane doesn't know won't kill him. But Ky's men, a little too close for comfort. "I'm going out. Send all calls to my personal phone."

"Yes, Mr. Jackson."

Dex doesn't hate Kyouki per se. He just had a long think about how a nobody Julius picked up off the street swept in like a storm eradicating decades long crime in just a couple of years. All the Intel he had gathered was like pissing in the ocean. That shit utterly irritated him. But the efficiency of it all, he couldn't be mad.

"We've arrived Mr. Jackson."

"Thanks, I'll be a minute. Just wait here."

"Yes, Sir."

What he was doing now, at the power plant, was securing his lifestyle for himself and his family. And his son, the one he found out about in a surprising almost romantic way. He wasn't dismissive of his relations with the boy's mother. It was just another reminder of a past he wanted hidden, another link to Kyouki and the Saints.

There weren't all bad thoughts. Ky and Johnny together were something else. Dex had to laugh at that thought. Obvious to anyone they liked each other. Johnny made it very obvious when Troy was involved. And that night he was out having drinks with Tracey.

"Damn, the old days weren't so bad." Dex mused.

Now that he thought about it, Dexter would have bet money that Johnny would shack up with Ky after he saw her that day with Dane. Especially after Aisha's death. But Ky ended up married. 'One of our biggest clients is Kazuo Akuji. Kyouki is the Heiress and Dane stopped them from splitting with Ultor. Did Dane know beforehand?' Dex questioned the marriage. Some things didn't add up.

Johnny and Kyouki destroyed the lab. Dane didn't care. The Casino robbed. Dane didn't look into it. The projects he had lined up for reconstruction halted. Kyouki is the leader of the Saint's.

"Oh, shit. Dane is going to kill Kyouki!"

Dex needed more information, needed to know exactly what Dane had in mind. There are some things his security clearance was good for, but would he be able to find anything Dane is planning? 'Shit, with Ky's men around, could I look?' Dex made his request of the workers at the plant, then as he got in the helicopter to leave back to the mainland, he received a text.

> Ready to meet?

Yeah, tomorrow afternoon at the church. <

> Ok. Ttyl.

Dex didn't hate Kyouki. He didn't want her dead again, either. He wouldn't make it to the church like he said. Instead, he would deliver the muthafucker who tried to take her out.
