Hit and Kill - Chapter Fourteen

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

            "I need to know if you are with me or not, Maria," she demanded, looking over at Maria from the driver's seat.

            "Why are you doing this, I know nothing really about you, I'm not even sure Destiny is your real name."

            "You remind me of my old friend, her name was Rosa. I always had a soft spot for her. As far as you know my name is Destiny and I can't be known by Cain but I'll try to explain more. I can't guarantee it will be much though."

            "I owe you for saving my life, so I will respect that much. For now, what is the plan?"

            "We shall go back to the hotel, pack your things and we must be on our way to leave the country before Cain awakes,"

            "Alright, where are we going?" Maria hoped it was somewhere exotic to her. She had been all over Europe as she grew up. Never anywhere else.

            "I'll tell you once you've proved loyalty. I mean you no offense, I just need to know you are with me. Where I come from, trust is something to earn."

            "I understand, Destiny."

            And Maria did. She trusted whoever 'Destiny' is, that she was a good person at heart and that it was just the way that she was. That Destiny went through a world of betrayal and it lacked a real friend. Maria hoped that she could be that friend. One that Destiny did not want to abandon like Cain in the end. One thing she was scared of though, was that if she became such a good friend, maybe that would be her fate too.

            "Call me, Des."

            At that moment, a friendship started to form. And Des had a good feeling about Maria, she just hoped that this wouldn't be regretted later on.

***

            Cain was dreaming. He was dreaming of Desdemona; their last moment alone together. He dreamed of all the possibilities of which could have turned out differently.

            When he awoke, he was laying on the side of the road covered in dust. Dusk was settling in and he questioned how he got here for a moment when he finally remembered. He was stabbed by a needle and his damn shoulder was burning like hell.

            The girl Maria injected him with something and Cain figured he had been out for a good couple hours.  On the bright side he didn't feel too groggy or weak so the chances of something being extremely toxic in the mixture was very slim.

            He jumped up and looked around, his laptop and cell phone were missing and he was disarmed. Cain cursed with the wind. He ran to the main road where there was more traffic but no taxies. To make his luck worse, dark clouds suddenly started to crowd the sky and it started pouring.

            It was at that moment he decided the whole universe was against him.

***

            "Father, I've encountered a few problems, but I shall finish my project tonight. I won't be returning after this though. I need some time, I promise I won't be longer than a few months. I let you know my status every second week from different places, every Sunday at six; your time." Cain explained through the phone to Amare.

            "I have only one request if you go through with this though," Amare responded, level-headedly. He was a little angry though that his son was going to take this long but at least it was something.

            "What is it?"

            "When you return, you must concentrate and dedicate yourself completely to this industry. I want no more nonsense about your infatuation with Desdemona. I know you loved her but you must get over her, she was never good for you. I will fund your travelling. Good luck, son."

            Cain was surprised with his father's rather sympathetic voice. Cain thought he was dreaming. He agreed profusely by his father's understanding and charity. They said their goodbyes and Cain hung up the payphone. 

            Cain had walked a half hour to the nearest gas station where there he had telephoned a taxi after he talked to his father. Cain returned to the hotel, it was already seven thirty and he rushed to his room to find things had been tampered with.

            "Screw it all!" he shouted to himself. He went to his safe where he hid his extra guns, pulling out the 22' pistol. He put his silencer on it and grabbed some of the serums.  Then he waited until midnight. He knew they would all be sleeping. This wasn't his original plan though, he wanted them all to suffer. It wasn't possible now though. He wanted to get this done and over with.

            He sneaked in their room; all the rooms were dark. He went into the first one with the man who had held him back. He shoved one of the serums in the man's neck. He left and walked into the next room and the next, doing the same thing.

            There was no way this would look like an accident, but it didn't matter. He had no real connections to these people and everything that connected him to his hotel room was false information.

            Cain returned to his room without a problem and packed his bags. He would check out in the morning and would then disappear without a single trace.

***

            Everyone went their own ways. Cain travelled, trying to forget about Maria and her friend but most importantly his Desdemona.

            While Cain was busy moving on, Des and Maria travelled to Quebec, Canada, where they bought a residence and planned to live there for a while.

            Rosa was more focused into her work than ever before. She shortly became part of team Alpha and took over Desdemona's spot. She believed that she could prove to Des, wherever she was out there, that she could continue on stronger than ever.

            Things constantly were changing around Amare. During the change, he made some of his own changes. He made adjustments to the training and made Maria an official member of his industry by Des' command. Though, Cain had no knowledge of this. Amare supplied Des and Maria with everything and gave them many jobs to do out in Quebec.

            During this time, Kerri and Hunter got reinforcements and made a remarkable plan that was in their favour. They were going to get their own revenge and they were going to live through it all and get married in the end.

            All of them had one thing in common despite their differences. They all hid secrets. Horrible secrets that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.
