Jack Cage: Troubled Ones

NINETEEN

    This is it. This is when I make things right. Cage will pay for everything he has done here and now. Nothing can stop this. Absolutely nothing. He is done for. I have his parents in my sight. It's now about timing. Come back from this, Jack Cage.

    Cage called Laurence while they were speeding away.
    "Cage?" Laurence answered.
    "Laurence, don't worry about the results. They don't matter now. All you need to do is stay in your place and don't go out," Cage said, with worry in his voice.
    "I hear worry in your voice Cage. What's going on?"
    "I'll explain later. Right now, just stay in your house," he said.
    "Alright. Good luck Cage," Laurence said, and he hung up the call.
    Cage then dialled the leader's number and waited. Then, he picked up.
    "Hello Jack," he said.
    "Leave my parents out of this you dirtbag," Cage said angrily.
    "You've figured it out. By the time you get here, it will be too late, I'll make sure of it."
    "This is between you and me. You leave my parents out of it do you understand?!"
    "Is that fear I hear in your voice Jack?" Said the leader, mockingly and satisfyingly.
    "Oh. I'm going to break your arms. Then I'll break your legs. Then I'll break your rib cage for the fun of it. Then I'll snap your neck. What you hear is excitement."
    "Too late Jack. I've found a way to hurt you like you've never hurt before," he said and hung up.
    "We are running out of time. He's going to make his move soon," Cage told Crimson.
    "Don't worry. We will get him," she reassured him.
    Then, they pulled up at the building, and Cage sprung out of the car and put the Glock in his pocket. He ran for the nearest entrance and Crimson followed him. Before she did, she said, "Take no prisoners." The rest agreed and headed for all the entrances.
    Cage ran harder than he'd ever run before. He could've been a sprinter, easily. He ran up the escalator and looked for the event in which his parents were in. Crimson appeared beside him and asked, "Where is it?"
    "Top floor," Cage said, and they sprinted up the escalator.
    Aaron and Raven instantly started seeing Forsaken men. They took out their guns and ran towards them. It was 6pm, and this place would be crowded with people wanting to go home. There will be innocent lives caught in the crossfire, almost a guarantee. They fired at the men, and the men fell. They started looking for more, and it wasn't long before bullets were shot at them. Aaron and Raven ducked for cover, and the war had started.
    Cage and Crimson ran to the top floor, and when they got there, Cage could pick out 5 Forsaken men. Henchmen. The main one wasn't to be seen, not like they knew who he was. Cage nodded to Crimson, who then took out her Beretta and fired at them. Cage took out his Glock and fired.
    Cage's father, Andrew Cage, saw what was going on and immediately started to evacuate everyone. Like his son, Andrew was a man who was highly alert. Most of the tricks Cage knew were taught by him after all, and Cage was grateful. Right now, Andrew was being saved by Cage, and when he looked at his face and saw fear, Andrew knew an enemy was coming for him and his wife.
    Cage dialled Merlyn's number and called him and within seconds, Merlyn picked up.
    "Cage?" Merlyn said.
"Where is he?" Cage asked, practically yelling.
"According to this, he should be to your left."
"Call Crimson and direct her," Cage said, and he hung up and dialled the antagonist's number.
"Hello Cage. Good job in stopping the attack. You were cutting it real close," the voice said.
"Let's settle this. You and me," Cage said.
"You'll have to find me first Jack," came the reply, and he hung up.
"Cage! I think I know where he is!" Crimson yelled, and they ran towards the location.

Aaron and Raven fires 3 more bullets as the crowd started to disperse. Bodies dropped, and gun were firing.
"Any luck with Crimson and Cage?" Raven asked Aaron.
"You're asking the wrong guy. Merlyn should be directing them to the location. You gotta ask him," Aaron said, ducking the bullets being shot at him.

Cage opened the door and they ran, following directions from Merlyn.
"Turn to your right. He should be right there," Merlyn said.
When they turned right, they saw they were in a toilet. A big one. Cage looked around, and saw no one.
"Are you sure he's here?" He asked.
"Yes. I'm positive he's there," Merlyn replied.
Then, out of the shadows, a man stepped out.
Cage and Crimson gasped.
It was Laurence.
