Chapter Thirteen: Jesper

Jesper pulled his babies out of his backpack.  Twin pearl-skinned beauties.  His revolvers.  He tucked them into the waistband of his green Corduroys.  He could feel the itch of being able to shooting them crawl under his skin and he jumped around.  He went back into the mansion, they were now in a garage he had never seen before.  In it was a black hearse.

"Why does Haskell have this?" Matthias asked, looking at the sleek black car.  Jesper didn't care, long as he got to shoot something.  Kaz shrugged.

"When driving it most people get out of the way because they think you're transporting a corpse.  And no one will suspect a hearse as a car," Kaz explained.  Matthias nodded, frowning slightly.

"Wylan, are you even old enough to drive?" asked Nina, raising a perfectly plucked brown eyebrow.  Jesper disguised his laugh as a cough.

"Yes!  I'm sixteen, going on seventeen!"  Jesper cut in,

"Can we just go?"  Kaz nodded.

"Let's get this over with, I want to get Inej back."  Everyone looked at him, surprised.

"Back to her family," he finished.  

"Right," Jesper drawled, hopping into the back.

"Matthias, you have to lay down where the coffin goes, it's the most space and it'll fit you, there's only room for two in the backseat.  Kaz and Wylan will be in the front," Jesper informed them, figuring Kaz would want to be in the front.  Matthias sighed but climbed in the back, and everyone else got in their seats.  Jesper was behind Wylan and he leaned forwards between the seats as Wylan started the engine and went to drive forwards.

"Pretty boy, you gonna open the garage door before driving out?" laughed Jesper.  Wylan blushed, and smirked, he liked making him blush, it was cute.  The drive was an hour long into the country, but soon they were at the address.  They all got out of the car, except Wylan.  Kaz was in front, and he rang the doorbell.  A woman in her early twenties opened the door.  She wore a crop top that revealed much and tight jeans and heels.  A bottle was in her hand, and she appeared very drunk.

"What do you want?"

"Your husband invited us over, may we come in?" Kaz replied.  She shrugged, opening the door wider.

"Sure, why not?"  As they all filed in she looked Matthias up and down hungrily.  Then she fell over unconscious as Nina passed over the thresh hold.  Jesper took out his guns and quickly used his powers to disable all the cameras in the house.  They silently split up, trying to find anything.  Jesper came across a locked door and used his crappy lock-picking skills to open the door.  In it was a nursery.  He walked in, looking in the crib, and breaking their cover by shouting,

"Holy shit, holy freaking shit!"  The baby was roped around the neck and tied to one end of the crib, and its feet tied together and tied to the other end of the crib.  Kaz rushed into the room.

"Jesper!  What are you doing?" he hissed, coming over.  He saw what he was looking at and his face went completely blank.  

"Kaz?"  When Kaz moved Jesper jumped back.

"Oh, whoever did this is going to pay for the life of this innocent child."  Jesper and Kaz left the room, and heard a bang.  Jesper rushed down the hall and into a room.  Zack was laying on the floor, rubbing his head.  Jesper stalked over and grabbed the front of his shirt, lifting him and pressing him against the wall.  Then he pressed one of his revolvers to his head, the other re-tucked in his waist band.

"Where is she?"

"Who the hell are you?  What are you doing in my house?" asked the scared boy, his green eyes wide.

"Answer the question!" yelled Jesper, shaking him.  Zack whimpered,

"I don't know!"  Jesper right above his head.

"I don't know!" he shouted again.  Jesper hit him on the top of the head with the gun.

"Tell me what you know."

"What girl?"

"Inej Ghafa."  He looked at Jesper with defiant eyes.

"I won't betray my father."

"So you do know.  Well then."  Jesper cocked the gun and pointed at the space between his legs.

"If you don't tell me anything, I'll be forced to shoot off a very important appendage to the male species.  I'm sure you'll be wanting it in the future."  

"You wouldn't."

"I would.  Now talk."  The boy raised his chin and Jesper shot a piece of cloth that had nothing beneath it, warning him.  By now, everyone was in the room and Kaz took over.

"Tell me where she is."

"I don't know exactly where she is."

"Then tell me what you know."

"I will not betray my father."  Jesper watched Kaz carefully.  Kaz rubbed his nose and looked at the ground, tapping his foot.

"How about this, every time you fail to answer a question, I take a little souvenir.  An eye, your nose, a finger, that sort of thing.  That sounds fair, doesn't it?"  Zack shook his head.

"This is like murder."

"Ah ah.  Murder is killing someone, I'm not going to kill you."  The boy seemed to relax.

"Yet.  I need information first.  Were you the one that killed the baby?"

"Why is that rele–" a scream cut him off as Kaz swiftly sliced off his pinky finger.

"Yes, yes I did!  It wouldn't shut up, I couldn't sleep!"

"Good boy."

"Now, where is Inej?"

"Somewhere downtown."

"Where?"

"I don't know where!"  Kaz slid a finger behind one of his eyes and slowly pulled it out.  The boy thrashed around and his screaming was enough to curdle blood, but Matthias held him down.

"Where?"  Jesper dropped his gun back into his waist band.  He could hardly watch Kaz do this, it was inhumane.

"She's in a warehouse!  I think on the northwest side, possibly the Van Eck warehouses."  Kaz nodded.

"Good boy."  Then he motioned to Nina.

"Kill him."  Nina gaped at him.

"Why?"

"He knows what we look like now.  Get rid of him."  Kaz walked out, tossing the eye behind him, and the finger.  Jesper looked at his friends.  He followed Kaz mutely, and so did the rest of them.

"No!  No, don't kill me!"  Then he was silent, and Nina followed last, a pained look on her face.  They all filed out of the house, and Matthias was in the back with Nina.  A car pulled into the parking lot as Nina and Matthias got to the car last.

"Hey!" shouted a voice, from the car.  Matthias and Nina jumped in the car, Matthias shoved into the back seat and Wylan jammed on the gas.

"Kaz, is there a license plate on this thing?" Jesper asked.

"Nope, took it off, no one will ever know it was us."  Jesper nodded.  He just wanted to forget the whole thing.

'Ello mates!... Yeah no, hey guys!  So I know this chapter was horrid, but...
