Julie breathing quickened as she realized it was her final breath. The machine lifted its metal leg up, she could hear Andy and Will’s desperate cries for the madman to stop. But all she could hear was laughing. She closed her eyes not wanting to see what was to happen before her. She held her breath only to let it out when Hung Fung called out to the machine “Stop.”
“Dad?! Why?” Leo argued.
Julie opened her eyes and the heel of the machine’s foot was an inch from her face. She turned to see all the machines had stopped. Andy rushed over to Julie as he pulled her to her feet, he hugged her roughly “You okay?”
She nodded like a zombie “Something’s wrong…Ga Jei…”
Hung Fung laughed loudly interrupting their intimate moment “It’s not fun if you’re distracted.” He clapped his hand loudly and one of his men brought out Cass, her hands were tied behind her back. “I forgot to give you this little gift. Cass Lam, half sister of Julie Cheung. Same mother different father, am I right?”
“Ga Jei!” Julie rushed to her sister but was held back by Andy.
“Don’t, he won’t hurt her yet.” He whispered.
“Let her go!” Will cried angrily “She’s innocent!”
The evil man laughed wickedly “She may be innocent, but she comes in great use to me. Now, if I were to ask you to join me, what would you say?”
“Never.” Julie said firmly.
“So you want to see a show, don’t you?” the elder man waved for his son “Let’s take Miss Lam to visit with PX11, we never tested to see how strong he was.”
Leo smiled “Yes, father.” He turned to James with his hand out “Control, please.” In his hand was the toy monster control as he gave it to Leo. “Bring her over.” He commanded. The guard pulled at Cass roughly as he handed her over to Leo.
“NO!!” Julie cried as she charged towards them but once again Andy stopped her.
He yanked her around to face him “She’ll be fine, trust me.” His eyes urging her to do so. She had tears in her eyes as she shook her head “Julie, if you don’t believe me, watch.” He pointed to Leo who was yanking at Cass’s arm. He pulled her to the center as he slowly took off the ropes that tied her hands together.
The minute he did, she twisted around and grabbed him around the neck and twisted one of his arms around his back “Don’t move or I’ll slice your neck apart.” Cass threatened as she turned her wrist activating her weapon inside her watch. It was a shape of a long pointed knife. Cass turned to the elder man “You try anything and I’ll stab this thing through his neck.” She warned.
The man’s face hardened “Who are you?!” he cried in anger, being that he had overlooked this girl he thought was defenseless.
Julie, Will and Andy rushed over behind Cass “Ga Jei! I didn’t know you can defend yourself.” She wiped the tears as she smiled at her sister.
Cass kept her eye on the evil man but her smile was for her sister “There are things you don’t know about me too, Agent Cheung.” She glanced up at Will, whose expression she would never forget. He was half shocked and proud at the same time. “Andy, did you contact headquarters?”
“Yeah, they’re on their way.” He replied. Julie turned to him, her eyes wide while he winked at her “If I told you, who would have saved us in the time of need?”
Julie shook her head “My sister, a spy. I would have never dreamed of it.”
“You’re not the only one in the family with the spy blood.” She joked. They turned back to reality with the evil man fuming before them.
“Spies!! You’re not getting out of here alive!” he threatened. “What other surprises do you have?” he threatened.
Andy stepped up with a smile “You’ll be glad to know that Mr. Anthony Lung has been arrested for attempted world domination as such yourself will be handed to the government as well.” The man only grew angrier with each word.
“Let Leo go.” He said through clenched teeth, his fists were tightened.
“You’re not getting your son back then.” Cass said coolly.
Julie stepped forward with a crooked smile “There’s one thing I’m a little curious of.” The man directed his attention to her “Leann.”
“My daughter is innocent, if you lay a hand on her, I will make sure you don’t live to see sunlight.” The man eyes were full of fire.
“I know she’s innocent.” Julie said calmly “But what would she say if she knew her father was the madman behind the plan to destroy mankind and take over the world? The father she grew up to know and loved. The person that use to read to her before she went to sleep? I’m curious to see her reaction.” Her eyes moved behind the group “Leann, you can come out now.”
She was hiding behind the corridors the whole time. Her eyes drenched with tears as she stepped out of her place. Leann’s eyes remained on the ground as she spoke through sobs “Daddy…how…could you?” she was disappointed and shocked.
“Sweetie, don’t listen to them. They’re just spies, this is just an experiment, I wouldn’t kill anyone, you know it.” The man tried one last time to convince his daughter.
Her head snapped up “Don’t lie!” she whipped her hand to the side “How many lies have you told me? All this time, I thought you were resting.” She looked up at her brother who was a victim in Cass’s grip “And you! You disgust me. Both of you.” She turned to run towards the trap door.
“Stop her!” the man ordered.
James was the closest as he grabbed her around the waist “Let me go!” she fought against him but it was useless, he was stronger.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, your own daughter. You do deserve the name ‘Madman’.” Julie said with sarcasm.
“Shut up!” the man turned angrily “You four are next. If you know what’s good for you, you will let him go.”
Will yanked the toy control from Leo’s hands “Are you threatening us?” he pushed on a button that sat on the chest of the machine. A loud bleeping sound appeared from behind one of the rooms. The monster came crashing through the steel door as he stomped his way over to them. It stopped at Will’s command. “I don’t think you’ll get the chance to try this one out.” He dropped the control to the ground and pulled out his laser gun as it spat out blue beams destroying the control. The machine cried out in pain as if it was dying. After a minute its head sank slowly down and there was no more sound coming from it.
Andy smiled “You may have tricked us here but you’re not going anywhere.” He looked upwards and they could see through the glass walls the helicopters were surrounding the building.
“PX11 awake.” They heard the voice of James commanding the monster. Will looked up at the monster before him as its head began to move up. “Destroy.”
“NO!” Leann cried out as she tried to wiggle from James’s grasp.
The monster’s arm began to whip around violently hitting everyone in its path. The group fell from each knock. Andy reached for Julie as they raced to the secret hall leading up to the main control room. “Come on.” He fought against five guards while Julie tried to open the control. She turned in time to see Will and Cass fighting with the monster.
“Ga Jei! Will! Come over here!” It looked like a mad room with fights going on everywhere.
“You guys go first!” Cass cried as she dodged the punch that came her way.
“NO!” Julie cried back, she eventually got the door to open as she turned to see Andy beating the last of the five guys. He rushed over to her “Will and Ga Jei!” she said hurriedly.
“Save yourselves!!” Will cried in the mist of the fighting.
Andy knew they would be able to hold on a little longer as he grabbed Julie by the hand “I’ve got a plan, come on.” They raced to the control room. When they got there, Andy looked around for the right controls. He pressed on a button that he commanded the human machines. “Attack PX11.” He ordered through the microphones. The group downstairs watched as tons of machines filed out and began to attack the one monster machine. Andy waved to Cass and Will as they were freed with ease.
“Why are we running away? Don’t we have backup?” Cass asked, while the four rushed towards the stairwell that led to the ocean.
Andy shook his head “It’s just lights flashing from the harbor. The Unit wasn’t aware of tonight’s plans.”
“Why not?” Cass asked with curiosity.
He hesitated to tell her “I’ll tell you when we are on safe grounds.” He pushed through the trap door as the four collided with the water through the softened ground.
