Why would Desmond send Scarlett a video message? I nodded at her to answer it where she pressed play and we both were surprised to see Desmond's face.
"Hello there my young protégé, I've been missing you and hear from a source that you are in league with the ex-boy wonder. I also heard you're planning to come after me and planning to kill me I think you should rechoose your plans. Bring her in boys." Desmond started where we both could see a woman in a doctor's uniform struggling in the grips of two armed man with a bag over their head. Desmond moved towards the doctor then pulled the bag off the figures head and I saw a woman with similar features as Scarlett.
"Mom..." I heard Scarlett whisper to herself and she was now clutching the table with her grip, I could see the adrenaline surging through Scarlett's eyes but she was trying to keep it in check while listening to the message.
"As you can see, you sweet mother here is still alive. So here is what are you going to do for me....You are going to surrender yourself over to my men and leave the ex-boy wonder behind or your mother will suffer the consequences." He chuckled where I could see Scarlett getting angrier inside, I placed my hand onto her shoulder hoping it would calm her down a small bit.
"No sweetheart...stay away. Don't listen to him." Her mother replied before being gagged and taken away from the camera leaving just Desmond on the screen.
"You have one hour to make your decision Scarlett or you'll be orphaned by sun up. I'll see you very soon." He laughed where I saw Scarlett slammed her fist down on the table and it went right through leaving a huge hole in its place.
"He's going to pay for this." She hissed moving to the case pulling off her clothes which I turned to respectively let her change. When I looked back I saw her slip two micro exosuit onto her body leaving her lower stomach exposed. She then took the bulletproof vest from the floor then attached it to her chest. She snapped the sides and then zipped up the front, it was only covering her chest up to her neck, and her stomach was still visible though.
"Scarlett...he's baiting you and making your rage becomes uncontrollable. You need to focus on finding another way. We can take care of it together you just need to trust me." I replied she tied a pair combat boots to her feet and then pulled on two black fingerless gloves. I watched her now move towards the weaponry table and I followed her seeing a lot of blades and other weaponry that could be used to kill Desmond. She grabbed what looked like small syringes placing them into the small pocket before grabbing a short staff placing it into a holster on her back. "Scarlett...please just let me help you."
"You want to help me? Then shut up and suit up." she exclaimed where she grabbed a pair of high tech goggles placing them over her braided dark brown hair. I then saw a syringe filled with a strange color liquid that she took placing it into a different pocket.
"What's that for?" I asked hoping it wasn't something that I needed to worry about it where she looked at me.
"It's adrenaline, in case I need it." She replied where I wasn't sure whether to believe her or not but right now I had to make sure to keep her alive. I took my mask from the table that I left it on and I placed my mask on my face and we both headed off into the night leading up onto the top of the roof. She pulled the goggles over her eyes pressing a button on the side where she looked like she was scanning the entire area. I used my infrared seeing there was a total of twenty snipers around each roof where I could see Scarlett biting her lip. "I have my tranquilizers ready, you take the ten stealthily on the right side and I'll take the other ten stealthily on the left."
"You got it, we will meet you on the top of the roof of Desmond Corporations. Are you ready Scarlett?" I asked where I looked over to her cracking her neck and stretching her hands out for what I think was parkour.
"Call me Lynx." She explained taking off into the night to the neck roof while I took off in the other direction to take down my men. Good Luck Scarlett and I pray you won't do anything you regret tonight.
