Chains

chapter 49

THE FINAL STAND
Those men lead us to the 10th floor. We walked in front of them. Our hands behind our backs and guns pointing each of our heads. I looked at Luke. My eyes pleading, telling him to do something. He winked at me. I swallowed. Suddenly Luke stopped. We followed the suit. "Hey!! Move!" One of the men said harshly. "No." Luke said. "No? What do you think of yourself?" Luke didn't answer. I turned around. "Don't move at all!!" The man said. I stood there still. "Walk!!" He said. None of us moved. He aimed his gun at my forehead. "Move or else..." He said. "I moved closer to the gun each time he ordered us to do something. My heart beating like a hammer. Soon all of us did that until our foreheads touched the gun point. The man gave us a stern look. He hasn't loaded the gun...
My mind told me. Our weapons were taken. But not all of them.
I looked at my boots. Then smiled.
My head held high, I stood there. " I will shoot you!!" The man said. "Go on!!" I said. He hesitated and put one hand into his pocket. "This is your last chance!! Move or else..." He said finding his pocket empty. "Go ahead, shoot me!" I said smirking. Before he could do anything else kicked his leg leaving him in utter shock and pain. "You fat arse!!" I said. I snatched the gun and filled it with the bullets I had. The others did the same. "Don't move or i'll shoot." They tried to use my trick on me, but this time too, I won.

We ran towards Natalie's room, but too many obstacles coming in the way. Finally I was the only one who wasn't occupied and went over to her. But it was too late. She was ready to kill anyone who came in her way. "Stop the system!! You cannot do this!!" I shouted. She just smiled. "But I just did!!" She pressed a button letting all the people go. They went towards police stations bringing all the criminals out and torturing them in horrible ways. "I pointed my gun at her. "Switch it off!!" I shouted. "No!" She said and pulled out her gun. "You Idiot!! Just like your mother!!" Natalie said. "My mother??" I asked. "Yes, your mother, my sister
The best child one could ask for. And our parents just orphaned me!!! Left me on the doorstep when I was 1!!! I found a letter 10 years ago!tried to ask her if I could be accepted again but she didn't " remember " me!! My step mother was an alcoholic. Never played attention to me and left me alone. That's when I started working for myself until I found Mr.Stamens, the head of this agency before me, who taught me everything and so I am devoted to my job."
"But, its their fault!why are you punishing  yourself??" I asked lowering my gun. "My Grandparents are dead!! And I don't know about my parents!!" I said.
"Shut up!!" She said ready to shoot me but before I could do anything, she got shot by someone. And by someone I mean LUKE!!!
"What did you do?!?" I asked
"Our mission was to kill her!!"
"How will we stop this bloody simulation?? And it wasn't her who was at fault!! It was my family!!"
"What??" Luke frowned. Damien and Amelia came in and directly walked towards the simulation chip tracker. "This isn't that complex..." She said.
Till they disabled it, I told Luke everything.

Damien and Amelia disabled the machine and we all walked down. "Where is Lexi?" Amelia asked. "She died...” Damien said. As we walked out, the whole agency was standing there waiting for us. Shaking hands with us, saluting us, Thinking us...
I looked around. "Has anyone seen my sister??" I asked them. "Alyssa??" Damien asked. "Yes...." I said.
"Uh...I've been wanting to tell you this...but, I - I killed her...." Luke said nervously. Tears rolled down my eyes. He gave me a tight hug. "Its OK...she's been dead half my life..." I said trying to sound confident but my voice cracked. I let out a little sigh and smiled.
My chains were broken forever and always.....
