Miss Vengeance

Failure

Message from Yiğit
I'm going in

Message from SB
WAIT!

"Ah, these dumb naive children!" The detective yelled to his team and they all ran out of the station to the address he was given. Yiğit said he'd give a previous warning before intervening, but something probably happened first. He'd have to run if he wanted to get to the place in time before something ugly happened. Was he ready to probably face the man responsible for his curse? No. But he would have 5 minutes to be, the time he'd take to get there.

Flashback
— Yiğit, you've gotta be kidding me!
— I'm not... – he sees the man giving him a death stare – Don't look at me like that! It was all my sister's fault!
— Tamam, tamam... what's the plan? – Serkan sighes.
Serkan met Yiğit when he went to his school for Career Day a couple of weeks ago. Serkan had given a speech about the life of policemen and how it was to live by the law and make sure the law is executed correctly by others. After the event ended, Serkan took some time to talk to the senior students that were indecisive about what career path to choose or the ones who had doubt if they were made for a profession like that. That's when he met Yiğit. He saw potential on the young man. They spent whole 15 minutes talking, and would've spent more if it wasn't for a call from the PD requesting the Detective's presence. In the end, Serkan gave Yiğit his number and said if he needed anything, he could call him and he'd do his best to help. That's what he thought about when, driven by madness and impulsiveness, his sister threatened to lock him in a room if he attempted to prevent her from going alone to what would most definitely be an ambush. And he knew she wasn't joking. So he let her think he let her go. While she got ready, he peeped the address on her phone and instantly sent a message to Serkan. "Abla, I'll have to meet a friend real quick. Please don't leave before I get back!" he made up an excuse. "Are you gonna take long?", her worried face appeared on the door ajar. "Yok. It's quick. I come back way before 10pm", he said walking to the door. "Tamam", was all she had said. He realized she was too distracted to even process what he said, but that was good for him. Yiğit ran to the PD as his detective friend was already waiting for him. And that's where he was right now.
— The plan? Well...

The plan consisted basically in the cops being a back-up plan. Yes, a plan B. But Yiğit felt that they would need extra help cause, again, that was the Mafia. The Triad. And Serkan Bolat knew The Triad, he even knew more deeply and personally than he wished, so he knew he'd have to be there to protect these inconsequent children from getting hurt. After many complaints from Serkan's part, Yiğit convinced him they didn't need to make any move at first, cause his sister knew what she was doing. "She has no idea what she's doing", he thought with himself. So that explains why he is, right now, running all the red signs on the streets hoping to get to his destination as quick as possible. He had two police cars following him, only the best of best, in case they were lucky to also make any arrests from that disgraceful gang.

Yiğit was thankful for the detective coming to help, but he was afraid it would be too late. Seeing those men were about to make a move and force Eda to leave with them, he came out of the shadows with nothing but his courage and 3 years of martial arts classes.
— STOP IT! – he shouted when two men ran to his sister's direction, attempting to grab her. She dodged them, and everybody stopped at the sight of an unwanted guest.
— YIĞİT! – Eda said, in a reprehensive tone.
— Who's that? Didn't I tell you to not bring ANYONE? – the man was getting angry.
— I didn't know he was following me!
— I don't believe you!
— I don't care if you do! Give me Zeki and we'll go, and won't tell anyone about this!
— You're a bold, little girl. What makes you think we'll let you go? Especially now. – he said, pointing to Yiğit.
— You will, we'll turn back, walk out, and you'll simply stand there doing nothing to prevent us from doing so – Yiğit said, taking all his courage and stepping closer to the man.
— I guess it runs in the family the stubbornness... it would be admirable your courage, young man, if it was used for the right purposes. – he says, theatrically – However, you seem to be just like your father. A scared coward, who always ends up running away.
That was it for Yiğit, he was about to lose the rest of his composure and take on that guy that was 3x bigger than him, when a soft hand stopped him. Eda.
— Yi, no. – she whispered, putting her arms around him as if somehow it would be enough to protect her little brother from these evil men.
— We'll go! – Yiğit said, convicted.
— Then go. – the man simply said.
That easy. That easy? Eda didn't want to think it would be that easy to go. She looked at the man suspiciously, and all he gave her was a smirk. As she turned back to leave, followed by Yiğit, shots were fired. At first Eda thought about Zeki, she couldn't bare being indirectly responsible for his death. She hesitated in looking back to the origin of the shot, but then she saw. Her little brother. One of the men had shot him in the leg, and as quick as he fell down, one of them grabbed him making him hostage. Now Zeki and Yiğit had a gun over their heads. Eda felt the bitter taste of failure. She couldn't lose her brother, she wouldn't have strength to live if she lost her brother. And he was bleeding. With a gun on his head. Zeki also had a gun on his head. She was starting to be truly desperate, with her hands shaking and tears starting to fall down her cheeks.
— Let him go. He was dumb to come here. Just let him go and I'll agree to whatever. – she said, with a shaky low voice.
— Too late, canim. Now I want you three.
The fear, the affliction, the cold breeze hitting against her face covered in tears and the heart wrenching sensation that she wouldn't ever get the answers she seeked. Not from these men. And she ended up putting her brother and an innocent guy in a very dangerous situation. She was about to give in, when they heard the sirens.
— Chief, hadi! Let's go! — half the men started to move away with their leader, not before the man shout one last order:
— Kill them all.

❦

The sirens got closer, and three cars appeared. The cops quickly got out pointing guns and telling the 3 remaining men to drop their guns. The cops instantly pulled Eda to the back, to protect her from an eventual shooting, but she was refusing to stay back.
— Gentlemen, I'll have to ask you to please drop your guns! We can be civilized here! – the man that Eda supposed being in charge of the police spoke.
No one moved. As the cops tried to cut more distance, one man shouted:
— Another step and we'll blow their minds.
Silence.
— Just let these kids go, and we'll let you go.
— They're not kids. And we are in killing order, they're either leaving here with us or they leave in a bodybag!
Eda felt her stomach wanting to throw up all the lunch out. The outcome was going to be bad either way. Serkan knew the Mafia wouldn't be gentle with the two young men, but he didn't want them to die either. He saw the men slowly stepping away with both boys hostage, desperate for a last minute resource to save those kids.
— Yi... – Eda yelled, between tears, and motioned to run to him, just to be held by big strong hands.
She looked at him and yelled:
— DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! – as she hit him on his chest, alternating between looking at his face and her brother walking away. He simply gave her a look. That look. The look people gave her on her parents' funeral.

One second everything seemed to be lost, and the next second the whole situation had shifted. In a blink. Yiğit couldn't tell how, he simply felt a newly found strength and acted, out of impulse. He elbowed the man that was holding him, on the face and on his hand, being free from that goddamn gunpoint. Then Yiğit hit his knee, remembering it was a good way of making your opponent fall down quickly and take longer to recover. Finally the martial arts classes his father insisted in him doing served a purpose. He kicked the man's gun far away, to the other side of the street. More police cars arrived on the opposite side of the street, blocking any way out for the remaining men. One of the men, the one that Yiğit knocked, was captured. The other two men were still not surrendering. One had his gun pointed at Yiğit, who was carefully moving towards Zeki, and the other still had Zeki at gunpoint.
— Wha... – Eda was about to yell, seeing Yiğit going on the opposite way of where he should go. The man, that she now heard it was the detective, just shushed her.
Yiğit was supposed to come to safety, come to behind the cops, but instead he was going close to where the two gunned men were. He was trying to save Zeki. The cops were still trying to negotiate, to avoid any eventual shooting. But the men weren't giving in, even seeing their imminent defeat. Seeing that Yiğit was distracting the two men by slowly approaching them, Serkan saw a chance to take down another one. He slightly gestured with his head to a cop on the other side and they started silently moving. Eda, watching all of that, was shocked at how good they were in communicating with just their eyes. It was almost telepathy. But things weren't smoother, next. The other man was actually smarter than they thought, and perceived the attempt of the cops to capture him. So he started to shoot. Yiğit, being in the middle and not having anywhere to hide, decided to risk his luck (and life) again. He attacked the man holding Zeki at gunpoint, fighting body-to-body with him (and Zeki, who was still being held – with difficulty by the henchman). It was all happening at once.
— GO!!!!
Yiğit yelled to Zeki, as he temporarily restrained the man's arms. He quickly ran to safety. Yiğit was still fighting with the other man, who was now winning him. And the other man who fired the shots was now being cornered by 3 cops and successfully being captured. Yiğit was about to take on the man again when he felt something hit his head. Then he felt pain. The man had just hit him in the head with his gun, that he grabbed back God knows when.
— YIĞİT!
Eda saw her brother be at gunpoint for the second time this night, but now clearly beaten.  He was not only with a leg injury now, his head was bleeding with the hit as well. He had lost the rest of his strength as he saw his sister desperately trying to get rid of the cops hands preventing her from running to him. "It's okay", he mouthed to her. She had seen, cause she kept frenetically shaking her head saying "No" and yelling his name.
— I'll kill you... – the man pulled the trigger, and Yiğit closed his eyes.
