We were followed. My hands reached my waist but found no gun. I don't have any. Alex handed me a loaded piece in my hand and I walked to the door. I slowly opened the door and took a peek out side. Four men. I recognized them. Alex came to me and pushed me aside. "You should stay back." She advised and took the position besides the door. I stayed behind to guard the lower trail. She pushed the gun in between her hands and kept her back to the door.
One of the guys came right through and she shot him. That must have caught the attention of the others. I thought. Bullets started coming our way. Alex moved away from the wall and shot on the right. Two down and two left. She placed a foot at the doorstep. She takes a peek and a few more shots.
She successfully killed them with a few lost hair strands. She got out carefully and paced towards the entrance. After she was out of sight, I picked that lock of hair. This might seem creepy but that lost lock has meaning to me. She said a few things and I trust her. She might have not answered me and opened a few more doors for me to question. Least she made me realize that I have an identity and a will, I never found. I had those dreams and wishes but I never paid heed to them. I don't even know 'me' yet. Why am I wanting to know the boss when I don't know me. This doesn't make me sad but eager.
It might be fun finding new things and new people. I snapped back to reality and stepped out the door to see that Alex had covered their faces.
"Why did you cover them? I didn't even see them." I asked and she smiled. She's a real happy person. I didn't know I had a big sister until now. I guess the first step was good.
"What use covering if you saw them?" She asked and I looked down. I am starting to sound stupid now for some reason. It never happened when I was following bosses commands.
She has already collected their guns and knives and all. She dragged their bodies in the room with the rest of them. I had already saw their faces and they were familiar. Well that's that and I feel good that she is trying to protect me. But I still don't know If I can still trust her completely. But I have decided to trust her completely.
"We have to get out of here right now." She told me and handed me a belt of ammunition. "We have to have full loads and cover." She told me clearly. It was visible that we are going to do something big or suspicious. I sighed and fastened it around my waist and taking a handful in my pockets.
"Before that we have to do something about these bodies." She told me and I grinned. We just have to take them to the den where the bodies stay; where we dispose of them. "I have an idea." I told her and poised her to follow me. I stepped outside carefully with a gun in hands and eyes everywhere.
We walked to the sewers and looked inside. The dead bodies are cleared. That's great. They bury the dead bodies every two weeks. If we throw them here they will only discover them after a time. We don't have the option to keep the bodies in the house as they would get smelly after a time. And this stinky smell can be traced easily. I can't let them discover the property as I made a great deal of efforts on settling it with that stranger.
"We can throw them here." I told her and we walked back.
"And there goes the last one." I sighed straightening my back. This sure is a hectic job. How did I use to do this? I guess I have been taking my subordinates for granted. Now I want to know what happens next.
"I was in contact with the UUG, they have made a few plans to get to the boss and stop his trade." Alex reasoned. "And I am a core part of it." If this was it there must be something related to me. Is that so. Then she got my real name from there. This is weird. Maybe when she was working there, she found me.
She's my sister. It's clicking me a lot. Why did she not contact me before and did she find me by the sources of UUG. She could be the part of them. I refuse to work with them. I have seen their dealings. What if she is trying to use me?
"Why did you not contact me before?" The perfect question at this point.
"I didn't want to. You know the perfect time." She replied and I stared at her. She deceived me. She's telling me she's from the UUG. she didn't contact me because she was at work.
"Jacqueline" She called and I looked at her in anger. Why? "Why did you not contact me?" I asked her again.
"I didn't exactly know about you. You know like I said, I came in contact with the UUG lately and had been allowed to use their recourses recently." She took a breath. "I found out about you recently too. Back then when I was searching the answers. You know, why I was being chased and what did my parents do? I found some divorce papers." She explained. Fair enough.
"Can I explain the rest of it to you later?" She asked and I gave her that. Her time.
********
Whole my life I did what boss said. I feels weird when all of this is opening up to me. I thought Reese was a good man. When I was a child Reese said that we; referring to the people of the boss, are fighting against the traitors. The ones who betrayed this country. Even then he had named a few people. Alex was one of them and there were a few more. They said that the children were already thought about killing.
We have been pulling out people from the society ever since. The ones with a crown of traitor over their head.
And a shocking thing that Alex knows a lot more than wiping wounds of the beaten up and taking care of Jack. In the end does that mean we were always fighting the UUG. Had I been so blind and had they been so alert? I guess Patrick was right when he ran away saying he won't harm people. Patrick was the big one so he knew more. He realized what I didn't.
I slumped deeper into the seat of the truck Alex was driving. We are going somewhere. Somewhere where we would see the people blinded.
