The fight started too quick for Erin as she tried to protect Darren at the same time. There were moments when he tried to fight off his attackers but it didn’t go on for long with Erin there. Reina on the other hand was standing on the side with gun in her hand, she waited for the right moment to raise the pistol.
Brad was the first one to arrive in time to see Reina’s hand abroad ready to shoot Erin “She doesn’t have a bulletproof vest.” He muttered while speeding up to catch her on time.
Reina aimed straight to Erin’s heart as she let go of the trigger. Darren turned at the same time he heard the shot as he made a leap into the air to cover the shot aiming towards Erin’s back. He felt to the ground staggering in pain. Erin bent down next to Darren “Are you okay?!” she was concerned, he had saved her life.
Darren was grabbing onto his arm groaning in pain “Run…just leave me…she won’t kill me until she gets that file.”
“What file?” Erin’s eyes moved up when Reina was getting closer. She heard footsteps behind her and she turned to see the team rushing to their rescue.
“Darren!!” Mia saw his arm bleeding while Erin was supporting him.
Darren looked up at Erin “The key is in my office, taped under the floor mat of the chair.” He whispered “Run…save yourself.”
She shook her head vehemently “And let you be the hero, I wouldn’t hear of it.” She smiled despite their dangerous situation “Anyways, she’s not going to let me go.” Her eyes wandered up.
Brad rushed up to them and Reina’s gun quickly pointed to him “Stop or I’ll shoot her.” Her gun moved slowly to Erin. When the others arrived, Reina’s smile grew wider “Well, well, well…looks like the P.R.A. have gotten themselves some new agents.” Her eyes moved over to Doug who stood next to Mia.
“Reina, don’t do this…you’ll regret it.” Mia tried.
“It’s too late!” Reina yelled into the air “I can’t turn back now.” She looked at them with angry eyes until it landed on the injured Darren. She bent down on one knee while the gun was still pointed at Erin’s head “You stupid idiot! I was trying to shoot her!!”
Erin’s eyes hardened “You can kill me, but let him go…he didn’t do anything but tried to help you.”
“Help! You call that help? He split us up!! But all he had the time for was to find YOU a home!! I hate you both!!” she growled with such a vengeance that it made Erin shiver.
Darren was perspiring as he struggled to sit up, his sleeve completely drenched in blood “I helped anyone that I could. Erin didn’t want to be adopted, I didn’t know that until recently. I did try to help you and Naja…but no one wanted two daughters.” He explained.
Reina’s firey eyes turned to Darren “So you did know…you remembered her all this time didn’t you?”
Erin shook her head, pitying the girl “Reina, this is so unnecessary. It was all a misunderstanding.”
“Maybe to you!” she cried a she stood up and turned to her remaining people “Get him.”
Erin instantly stood up “Reina! Let him go….you want me, just take me. My life isn’t important.”
“Erin!” Brad called to her after hearing her say that. She was too stubborn and took her job too seriously. He understood where she came from, her mission was to protect Darren.
Reina’s eyes moved up while her people took away Darren “Right…Brad…maybe you should know a little secret before I kill her.” Her gun still pointing at Erin “She has a crush on you…well, more like fell madly in love…isn’t that right, Erin?”
Brad’s face paled over “Erin…” her name was a mere whisper.
“You should thank me Erin…I finally told him for you. Looks like you couldn’t find the balls to tell him yourself by the looks of his face.” Reina laughed wickedly “Now you can die peacefully.” Her smiled faded as she pointed the gun at Erin’s forehead.
A single tear dropped from her cheek, she didn’t have the heart to turn and look at Brad. She gently closed her eyes and prepared for the bullet. She heard the trigger pull back “No, Reina!!!” Mia cried for her friend’s sake.
The gunshot was loud and deafening against Erin’s ears but when she did not feel the pain, she opened her eyes and saw Reina’s gun was thrown to the side, someone had saved her again. But she did not need to think long as the two girls began a brutal fight with each other. The rest of the team had their own battles to fight. Mia was trying to get closer to Darren but he was already gone, they took him away. She saw the fight between Erin and Reina as she quickly joined in helping Erin. The three girls fought off their frustration and hurt. Reina was quickly defeated with two against one.
The girls were walking closer to Reina when a gun shot was fired at their feet “Andrew!” Erin announced.
He began firing away randomly to keep the team away while he saved Reina. A gun shot flew straight into Ted’s leg as he felt to his knees in pain “Ted’s down!” Brad cried “Cover him!”
Doug was the closest as he rushed over to help Ted. Andrew grabbed Reina as he held the gun up at Mia and Erin. The girls stood still while they watched them disappear in a car. Brad rushed over to them “You girls okay?”
Mia nodded with a smile “Why don’t you ask the person you really care about?”
“Erin…I…” he stuttered.
She knew it was not the time and place to talk about it “I’m okay.” She turned to Ted “Come on, let’s get him into a hospital.”
Dennis met up with the group in the hospital “How is he?” he rushed through the emergency door.
Brad looked up from his seat “They’re taking out the bullet but he should be fine.”
“One person down!” he shook his head “How are we going to do this without him.” Suddenly his eyes traveled around the group “Where’s Darren?”
Erin had her arms around Mia’s shoulder, trying to comfort her “He was kidnapped.” She shook her head sadly “He saved my life.”
Mia looked up with red eyes “You don’t hate him anymore?”
She smiled “I never hated him. We just didn’t get along. But for the past few days, I realized what a good heart he had. I was just in denial cause I didn’t want to like him. I’m strange…I know.” She added when Mia’s smile was a relieving one.
“I’m glad.” Mia nodded.
“You guys stay here, I will go back to headquarters and find out what our next plan is.” Dennis nodded. Suddenly he stopped and turned to Brad “Brad, come with me.” He ordered.
Brad looked up and then turned to Erin with worried eyes “Yes Sir.” He said hesitantly.
“I’ll watch the girls.” Doug offered and Brad smiled at him gratefully.
Mia wiped away a few tears before turning to Doug “Thanks.”
“My pleasure.” He wasn’t sure if he was to continue to flirt with Erin now that their secret is out “Erin…can I speak with you?” he felt the need to explain himself.
Mia knew what he was saying, she was about to chime in when her cell phone rang. She didn’t recognize the number as she stood up and excused herself “I’ll be back.” She walked out side to answer her call “Hello?”
“Mia! Don’t listen to her…” Darren’s voice was urgent but it quickly faded and was replaced by Reina’s laughter.
“Aww, that’s so sweet.” Reina’s sarcastic comment only made Mia’s blood boil.
“What do you want Reina?!” Mia cried into the phone.
Reina laughed even louder “You want to see your man? He could easily bleed to death now. Especially with my foot on his arm!!” she made a grunting noise while Darren cried in pain from the background.
Mia crunched her fist together “Stop it!” she gritted her teeth.
“You didn’t answer my question…do you want to see your man or what?” Reina said with more anger.
“Where are you?” Mia turned to the hospital and noticed Erin and Doug were still talking.
Reina was pleased “Come by yourself and he’ll still be alive. We’re not that far from here. Downtown on Taiwan Road in Sa Tin. The first building on your left, 10 floors. We’re at the roof.”
“The roof?” Mia muttered.
“What’s wrong? Oh…right…your fear of heights, I almost forgot.” Reina laughed humorously “You don’t have to come. But you can pick up his corpse tomorrow morning in his office.”
“No! I’ll come.” She quickly hung up the phone and gave the other two one last glance and took off to see Darren. She was walking into the tiger’s mouth, it was the chance she took to try to save Darren.
Erin was laughing at Mia’s plan after Doug described it to her “That’s my girl.” But her face paled when she looked around and notice Mia was gone “Where’s Mia?”
Doug got up after Erin as they searched outside and inside the waiting room “Where did she go?”
Erin shook her head as she called for Mia’s cell “She’s not answering.” She told Doug almost hysterical. “What are we going to do?!”
“Calm down…” he coaxed “We’ll have to wait for Dennis and Brad to come back.
*************
Mia saw Darren’s pale face first as she rushed over to him. He was tied to a wooden pole, his body sagging against the ropes “Darren!!”
Reina brought out her arm to stop Mia “Eh…not so fast. Now, I have a request. There is a key that opens his safety deposit box at the orphanage. It contains very important files that I need. Can you get your boyfriend to tell me where the key is?”
Mia turned to Darren with desperate eyes “Darren…” she began but he shook his head.
“I can’t tell her…” he whispered, his eyes barely open.
Mia was near tears seeing him in so much pain “Just tell her, then she’ll let us go.”
“Did I say that?” Reina asked innocently “I don’t think I did.” She laughed while Andrew stood on the sidelines, his eyes darkened. She was going crazy before his very eyes. Naja shook her head sadly, if only they knew Reina’s childhood, they might even feel sorry for her. It would explain her heartache and hatred towards the orphanage.
Darren leaned back against the pole “Mia…she’s evil. She’s not going to let us go if we tell her. She’ll kill us…” he muttered before passing out.
“Darren!!” Mia rushed over to him as she cradled his face in her hands “He’s fainted, you have to take him to a hospital!” she was desperate.
Reina’s eyes were cold and hard “He won’t die. I’m not done with him yet. Ga Jei, get him some medication to relieve the pain.” She nodded to her sister. Naja nodded as she got up to leave. Reina turned back to Mia “You are not going anywhere until he tells me where that key is.”
