Dave turned to Reina “You told me she tried to save Brad when you fired….you killed our sister?” he asked in shock.
Reina whipped her head away “She was stupid and naïve…she was always on their team, always defending Brad. She deserved to die!” she cried coldly.
“Haven’t your family suffered enough?” Michael stepped closer to Dave with his wrists still tied together “You’re losing a sibling with each day…why do you want to destroy the entire family?”
Dave widened his eyes “Because you damn rich people took over everything!! We have normal lives to lead…but with one say and our low lives were no longer useless. You think my father wanted to lose that job at the harbor? That was the only way we were able to keep our family together.”
Mia snickered “Well if your parents weren’t humping like rabbits they wouldn’t have to have so many mouths to feed!”
“Shut up!!” Dave pointed to Mia with a stiff finger, she turned away with her nose in the air “You guys won’t get away with this.” He threatened.
Mia laughed “I think that’s our line.”
His evil eyes turned to her again but she wouldn’t falter as she threw her chin up at him. Dave’s smile appeared slowly at Erin “Go ahead…kill her…I don’t care…” he laughed.
“Dave! She’s your sister!!” Andrew was desperate to keep her alive.
Dave took a few steps closer towards Erin “So? If it’s not her than it’s me…if you don’t kill me, I promise to tell you where Joe is.” He said slowly.
Erin shook her head “I don’t trust you.”
“You’re right…you shouldn’t trust me…” suddenly he lunged at Michael with his arm around his neck “Let her go…if not I’ll kill him.” The team took a few steps towards Dave but he quickly moved into a corner wall “Don’t come closer or I’ll kill him!!”
Brad raised an arm as he motioned for everyone to back up “You know even if you kill him, you won’t get away.”
Erin’s attention was diverged as Andrew took advantage of it and he quickly knocked the gun out of her hand as it came flying to the floor. The two quickly found themselves in a fight while Mia chased after Reina who tried to escape. She blocked the door and gave the girl a kick, she was quick to dodge it as Mia closed the door “The fun’s just starting…” she smiled and once again the two were entwined in a fight.
Michael took his chances as he pulled his head forward and thrust it back hitting Dave in the forehead at full force. He fell to his knees in pain while Dave covered his head with his hands. Brad took the chance as the attacked Dave, who quickly recovered from his head bang. Doug rushed over to pull Michael up and untied him. He turned to Jessie “Call for help.”
She nodded as she rushed to the door but was quickly blocked by Reina “If I can’t leave, no one can.” She threatened as it was two girls against one.
Mia stood in her stance as the girls circled each other “Doesn’t this look a little too familiar?”
Reina snarled at her with a vengeance “But this time I’ll win.” She threw a punch at Mia who dodged it to perfection as Jessie jumped in to help. With two girls, Reina was not a match for them as she was quickly defeated to the floor.
“Looks like you lose…again.” Mia smiled victoriously.
Reina slid on her back until she hit the wall, she turned her head and found the gun that was knocked out of Erin’s hand. She took it and aimed it at Brad “This is for my sister.” She whispered.
Erin’s quick eye did it as she made a summersault to the side and picked up one of Andrew’s dropped gun as she aimed it at Reina and let go of the trigger, at the same time she never saw Andrew diving between the gun and Reina.
Reina looked up and saw the shot and then Andrew flying between as she cried out “NOO!!!!” The bullet hit him straight in the heart as he flew back a few inches sliding into the wall next to Reina “Andrew!!” she grabbed onto him before dropping the gun from her hand. Nothing else mattered at the moment “Andrew…” her tears were real as she clutched onto him for dear life.
The whole room seemed to pause as the watched Andrew slowly dying. His shirt was quickly covered in blood while he struggled to catch his last breath “Reina…” he managed to whisper as slow smile crossed his face “As long…as….you…you’re okay….”
Her tears dripped onto his cheek as she shook her head “No…please…don’t leave me…” she whispered in pain. When his eyes slowly closed and his head fell limply in her arms, she let out a blood shrieking cry “NOOO!!!” she sobbed while she rocked his body in her arms.
The group was silent as can be until Reina’s crazy eyes looked up in a daze. She picked up her gun and aimed it at Brad. She wanted Erin to lose her only love too “Duck!!” Erin cried, but Brad was way ahead of her as he fell to the floor and the bullet hit Dave who stood behind him.
“Gor….” Reina’s face was covered in her own tears as she watched her brother fall to the floor limply.
“Damn, she’s lost it.” Mia whispered. Suddenly she realized Darren had disappeared “Darren?” she asked while her head spun around “Darren!!” she grew more frantic by the moment.
Erin’s eyes were on Reina who slowly dropped the gun, she lost two people closest to her in one day, it didn’t matter what happened to her now. She turned to Erin “You win…” she turned her head down at Andrew’s peaceful face. She leaned her face on his cheek, tears dripping from her eyes eventhough she made no sobbing sound. She began muttering incoherent words to herself.
Brad got up as he ran over to where Erin was, the two hugged with happy smiles “God, you scared me…” Erin whispered as they tightened their grips.
Jessie walked over to Doug as he placed an arm around her shoulder as they watched the two unite “Why don’t you do anything that romantic?” she nudged him teasingly.
“Sure!” he laughed as he leaned in and kissed her unexpectedly on the lips. She quickly pushed him away with a laugh “That’s romantic to me…” he explained with a knowing smile.
Mia furrowed her brows as she brought out her hands “HELLOO!! Is anyone listening to me?” she called for attention “I said…where is Darren!”
Erin and Brad eventually broke apart as they turned to Mia with a smile “Honey, if you can’t even keep an eye on your man…how do you expect us to?” she smiled at her friend.
Mia scratched her head strangely “The thing is I don’t even remember when he disappeared….” She turned to Reina and pointed with her thumb “What are we going to do about koo-koo here?”
Erin sighed “I don’t know.” She walked over to Mia as the girls hugged “Thank you.”
“Why?” Mia asked when she pulled away.
“For believing in me.” Erin smiled “It was a tough shot when I tried to hint to you that one night you guys broke into the Wu’s Mansion. I didn’t think you would understand my message.”
Mia laughed “Oh that!” she tilted her head “Girls think with their brains…guys?” she nodded at Brad “They think with their-”
Brad quickly interrupted her “Hey…” he warned.
She smiled secretly “I was going to say jealous heart…what were you thinking of?” she teased Brad.
“Nevermind….” He shook his head “I’ll lose no matter what.”
Mia nodded “You better recognize!” Erin laughed while Brad gave Mia a bowing motion.
“There’s Darren!!” Jessie pointed to the door.
When they turned, they found Darren standing at the door with Joe looking disheveled and unshaven. His hair was growing longer and his eyes looked tired. Darren was supporting Joe by the arm “Look what I found gagged and tied?”
“Joe!!” Mia cried as she rushed over to him “What happened?”
Darren smiled “I think he was kidnapped, honey.” He teased.
Mia rolled her eyes “I KNOW that! But where were you the whole time?”
Joe smiled up at the curious girl “You guys ever heard the saying; the most dangerous place is actually the safest place?” The team nodded as he continued “Dave figured he would hide me right here in the P.R.A. headquarters so even if someone found out the truth, they’d never find me.”
Mia hit Darren on the arm roughly as he flinched in pain “What was that for?” he cried while rubbing his arm.
“You knew and you didn’t tell me???!!! You know how much I wanted to be the hero.” She cried with a pouty lip.
Darren laughed “Actually, it was by accident. Before we left earlier, I walked to the bathroom and found one of the walls was making sounds. Like a person trying to cry for help. I snuck out earlier when no one was paying attention since everyone was busy fighting with someone else. I went to the wall to try to find the secret room. It took a while, but I found it.” He said proudly.
Joe looked at the guy with a smile “Thank you.” His head turned slowly to Reina as his smile faded “She…”
Mia made a circular motion with her finger at her temple “She’s lost it.”
Joe shook his head sadly “Such a sad life…has anyone called the police yet?”
Everyone shook their heads and he let out a sigh “Good…the last thing we need is the P.R.A. destroyed by the only hands that created it.” He looked up at Michael who was quiet in his own world “Mr. Wu…” Michael looked up and Joe motioned for him to come over “I know you were not involved in any of the smuggling, Dave told me everything.”
“He did?” Michael asked in shock.
Joe nodded “He thought I was going to die so it was no use in lying. I think he just needed to let it out.”
“How did this all started?” Erin asked.
"It was planned for years apparently, Dave lived under the Wong family’s rules. If you guys don’t know the family, they are from a prestigious upbringing of political heads. I, being the General of Security have to meet them every so often." his eyes dazed as he recalled some past experience "They use to tell me about an adopted son that looked almost identical to me but I never believed it until I met him one day. I’ve never believed the saying that people look like people…but now I’m a believer. He soon grew interested in talking to me and I to him. But the minute I realized there was more to Dave than meets the eye, it was too late because he already had his plan of attack. He didn’t kidnap me, he stood outside the headquarter until it was the perfect moment, when I was alone. He attacked me and put me in the secret room for weeks. Although he fed me, he made sure that I was too weak to get away even if I could get away.”
“Sounds like the perfect plan.” Brad muttered.
Joe nodded “Maybe a little too perfect. But everyone has a soft spot in their hearts, his was the hatred and pain that his family had to bear. When I realized that Michael was just a pawn in his game of chess, I was more determined to stay alive. I didn’t want another innocent life to be taken away.”
Michael smiled as he looked over at Erin “Thanks to her.”
She smiled shyly “I didn’t do anything….just a little trust that’s all.”
“When did you start to believe me?” Michael asked with curiosity.
She titled her head thoughtfully “When you told me about the story of Julie, something in your eyes told me it was no lie. And it was strange the way you kept asking me to take a walk…I’d figure there was something in the house that you didn’t want to be around. Then I realized it must have been some kind of homing device. What I don’t understand is why you told Reina that Julie’s death was a bullshit story?”
He laughed “Because I didn't know she was Dave’s sister. If I knew, I wouldn't have said it at all...I just wanted her off my back.” He would have thought she guessed that a while ago. His smile faded as he continued “He was my partner for years in the drug smuggling business. I didn’t want to do it initially but he threatened to kill my entire family…I didn’t want that…so I promised and he took it further and further until I couldn’t turn back anymore.”
Mia frowned “So where are all the proof?”
Michael turned to Erin with a smile “Ask her.”
She shrugged “They don’t exist anymore.”
“You burned them??!” Mia asked in shock.
Joe nodded “You did the right thing.” He turned to Michael “Although I don’t agree that you should be able to walk free, but I know you are innocent. I will not report this to any officials.”
“Thank you!” Michael said gratefully.
Joe smiled while Mia looked around the room “What are we going to do about this place?”
“All the people that know about the P.R.A. are dead or ex agents…” Brad began “except…” his eyes trailed over to Michael.
“I won’t tell a soul!” he promised as he made a cross sign on his heart. Joe nodded with understanding and he believed that Michael wouldn't tell.
