Chapter 39

Who shot her?

“You…” Won Bin said pointing at Michelle. “Between me and you, you…you wouldn’t even show me one tenth of that much skin you’re showing now,” he said accusingly. “So you’re telling me, total strangers have seen more of you more than me?”

“I guess so…” Michelle said her eyes wandering around the room. “Not just me but all of them too,” she said in hopes of not getting Won Bin angry too much.

“Ruby…” Edison said his voice shaking.

“Hmm?” Ruby asked, looking at him seductively.

Edison closed his eyes and pointed towards the room, “Go change,” he ordered. “Please.”

“Ya…go change,” the rest of the guys repeated.

“You girls cannot go out like that,” Jimmy announced.

“Look we know what we’re doing, and we’re doing it no matter what you say or do. You either help out by following directions or butt out,” Gigi announced.

Ruby, Michelle, Jessica and Annie nodded in agreement.

“Okay tonight, we all go, you guys head over there now, on foot, get a feel of the club, take these,” Jessica said handing them tiny devices that clipped onto their ears and a tiny microphone on to their shirts, “You follow our orders on this. Screw up and we are all screwed so you best listen carefully.”

“And these,” Michelle said handing them each a whistle.

”What’s this for?” Edison asked.

“If you get into trouble, blow on it, and we’ll come save you,” Michelle answered, as Ruby started loading up the guns and handed it out to Michelle, Gigi, Jessica and Annie.

“I want a gun!” Louis announced. “I’m a member of the HK gun club, I can shoot as well as any of you girls and possibly better.”

Ruby swiftly drew her gun and fired out the window, within seconds a can that sat at the tip of the yacht was knocked into the water. She didn’t even have to look.

“Try that,” Jessica said.

“Ruby, I’m a CIA agent, I can handle a gun,” Edison said. “I have my own gun.”

Ruby looked at him, “Unlike you we don’t have big bulky bullet proof vests, can you dodge a bullet?” she asked.

“Like I told you earlier, I won’t be a burden to you, I promise you that,” Edison said. “I’ll watch your back.”

Ruby didn’t say anything to him, meaning she agreed for him to go.

Michelle stood in front of Won Bin and held out her hand, expecting him to hand something over.

“What?” Won Bin asked. “Give you five?” he slapped her hand, giving her five.

“My revolver,” she said. “The one you found in my apartment before we left HK.”

“Revolver? What’s a revolver?” he asked.

Michelle glared at him.

“Oh that one?” Won Bin said realizing what she was saying. “I lost that last night.”

Michelle didn’t believe him.

“Strip search me then,” he said raising his arms.

Michelle searched him, but found nothing.

“Guys go, we’ll be there in an hour,” Gigi said. “Keep in touch.”

The guys nodded and left.

“I’m going to grab my jacket,” Jimmy said, running towards the spot where Andy Lau laid unconscious. He saw the tiny gun hidden on his leg strap and grabbed it and left.

“Annie you’re on monitor duty,” Jessica said.

“Me, why me?” Annie asked.

“Because,” answered Michelle. “They need my help, and other than me you’re the only one to know how to run that temp. system.”

“Be a good girl Annie,” Ruby said.

Annie pouted.

“I’ll be on monitor duty tonight,” answered a voice from behind.

They all turned around and saw Kenix standing by her room. She was dressed and ready to go.

“Pearl, you should be resting,” Gigi said immediately.

“You girls aren’t leaving me behind,” Kenix said. “You can’t do without me. What’s the Gems without Pearl, huh?”

“There’s no Gems without you Pearl,” answered Ruby. “Tonight is only a small battle in the war, we want our Pearl well rested and fully recovered so she can help us out when the real war is fought.”

Kenix looked at Ruby about to argue.

“Pearly,” Michelle called. “We still need you to stay behind. They’re going to be after Andy Lau. We still need to watch after Leo, even Leehom, good or bad we still don’t know about him.”

“Mike’s here, he can handle it,” Kenix said. “You girls think I’m going to get in the way, don’t you?”

“Nix, Nix, Nix, here you are!” Michael said running towards her. “What are you doing out of bed?”

“She wants to come with us tonight,” Annie said.

Michael looked at Kenix.

“I’m not going to let my girls go out alone without me,” Kenix said. “I can handle it. I’m not useless just yet.”

“If your wounds don’t heal you will be soon,” Michael scolded. “Get back to bed,” he ordered.

“I…”

Michael glared at her, and pointed back into the bedroom.

“Mike…I…”

Gigi approached Kenix, “Tonight we’re going after Julian, I promise if we run into that other bastard that hurt you, I promise at whatever cost, I’ll bring him back alive.”

Kenix looked at Gigi compassionately. “Emerald.”

“Please go back and rest, we need you Pearl.”

“If you don’t get that bum into bed, I’m going to pick you up and carry you in there myself,” Michael said.

Kenix looked at each of her friends, “Alright,” she agreed, “Take good care of yourself. I don’t want anything happening to you girls.”

“We’ll all come back in one piece,” Michelle reassured her.

Kenix forced a smile, “It’s getting late, you girls best be going now then.”

The girls nodded and soon left.

When they met up at the bar, Annie did as told and stayed in the van for monitoring, well in pairs, Ruby and Michelle, Jessica and Gigi entered the bar. The guys, one in each corner of the bar saw the girls enter, they kept a close eye on them. They had set up the cameras accordingly earlier.

Ruby and Michelle were chosen to seduce the enemies.

Gigi recognized one of the guys, last night when she went after Julian, she ran into one of his men. His right hand man, to be exact. Into the tiny microphone she whispers, “East side of the bar, fourth booth on the side. That bastard’s right hand man Tae Sattawat.”

Annie then sent the message to Ruby and Michelle.

“Gottacha,” answered Michelle, she and Ruby walked towards the booth, which happened to be only a few booths away from Won Bin. Edison was sitting by the bar. “Rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first,” Michelle said to Ruby. In the end she lost. “Why do I always lose this thing?” Michelle asked. “You have this thing rigged.”

“You always go scissors first that’s why,” Ruby answered. “Plus you’re dressed for the role better than me.”

Michelle frowned, she approached the booth, passing by Won Bin, who grabbed hold of her hand. The guy, Tae, glanced over towards the two, eyeing Michelle. Michelle noticed his eyes on her, so had to act like a slut. She fell into Won Bin’s lap and kissed him, but secretly pinching him also. She pulled away, looked at Tae and smiled. He signaled her over.

“Heading towards the target,” Michelle mumbled.

Michelle swiftly slipped into the seat next to Tae, and the two started hitting it off. He was touching her every now and then, had his arm wrapped around her, then he started groping her.

Won Bin’s fist clenched, he was ready to go beat the guy for touching his Michelle, when Ruby slipped into the seat next to him. “Relax, it’s an act,” she said.

“Relax? How can I relax? Look!” he said. “I don’t even get to do that! And I’m her boyfriend.”

“Just relax,” Ruby said.

“Can we kill who ever and leave yet, before he gets to third base?” Won Bin asked, his eyes begging Ruby to do something.

Gigi and Jessica were grabbing the attention of Tae’s other two buddies who had just entered, and heading towards his direction. But before one of the guys, placed their arm around Jessica, Louis popped out of nowhere, took her away from him, and practically yelling, “I told you no whoring tonight, your HIV test hasn’t come in yet!”

The guy backed away from Jessica. While Louis dragged her into another booth.

Gigi and the guy, named Richie, pulled into the same booth as Tae and Michelle, while the third guy, grabbed another girl and also sat in the booth.

One said, “J.C’s coming in, in five.”

“Five minutes,” Annie told everyone. “Be ready.”

In exactly five minutes Julian appeared. Gigi had made it onto the Richie’s lap, and began kissing his neck, while Tae was still groping Michelle. The three guys greeted Julian.

“Boss, you want a girl?” the third one asked.

Julian shook his head. He looked at Richie and slapped his shoulder, “Don’t get too carried away,” he said. “You too Tae.” Michelle’s face wasn’t clear, because of the darkness, and the distance. Julian couldn’t see her, while Gigi was right beside him, yet he hadn’t noticed yet.

Gigi had stopped groping the guy, but did not reveal her face.

Julian stared at her back and shoulders.

Richie had pulled Gigi back about to kiss her. Julian had smashed a bottle of whiskey on his head, the second he saw Gigi’s face. He was on some pervert’s lap.

Gigi once their eyes met she couldn’t help but have tears build up in her eyes, but she couldn’t bring herself to look away.

Julian pulled his gun out and held it behind Richie’s head, “Touch her again and I guarantee you that you won’t live to touch another girl.”

Richie sat back, his hands in the air, not daring to the move. “Boss…”

“Get off!” Julian instructed Gigi strictly. “GET OFF OF THAT BASTARD!” he exclaimed. He grabbed Gigi’s wrist, dragged her off of him, and out of the booth. “When I tell you to do something, you do it!”

Gigi returned his murderous glare with her own. His grip on her was tight and it hurt.

“What…” his grip on her tighten, as he gazed deeper into her eyes, he pulled her against his body. “What are you doing here?” he asked, his eyes raging with anger.

Gigi didn’t answer.

“I asked you a question!”

She continued staring at him, dead straight in the eyes, “Fuck you,” she said coldly. She pushed him away from her, “Don’t touch me!”

“Are you trying to piss me off?” Julian exclaimed. “You know how much I love you, yet you come here and grope a guy right in front of my face? Is this your way of getting back at me?”

“I’m sorry does it bother you when I’m kissing other guys?” Gigi asked. “Listen mister J.C, I’ll be where ever I want, when ever I want,” Gigi replied.

“You should be with your GEMS, figuring a way to kill me or rescue Leon and Tony, not sitting here groping nasty perverts!” Julian exclaimed.

Gigi looked at him, “You actually want me to do that?” she asked. “You want us to come after you?”

Julian held his breath, he couldn’t answer her. “I rather have you kill me than see you with another guy,” he said after a moment of complete silence.

“Excuse me, I need to go now. Just looking at you makes me sick!” announced Gigi.

Julian clasped her hand in his, “Come with me, I need to tell you something,” he dragged her away. But he stopped midway.

Behind him, Ruby held a knife to the back of his head. Jessica snuck behind Richie and his buddy, and knocked them out. Louis was close behind Jessica. Michelle had unexpectedly pulled a gun out at Tae. Won Bin approached his darling Michelle, pulled onto her feet, making sure she stood closely beside him, then punched him a few times, giving him a bloody nose, and knocking him unconscious. Won Bin had Michelle’s hand clasped in his, afraid she may run of.

Julian smirked to himself, his eyes focused on Gigi’s “Bravo GEMS. You got me, but the thing is how long can you keep me, and can you make me talk, that’s your biggest concern,” he taunted.

Gigi turned away and headed for the exit.

“Gigi, where are you going?” he asked.

“I told you already, I never wanted to see you again,” Gigi replied, still walking, not turning back.

“You just did though,” he argued.

“Only to catch you,” she replied. “Now that my part is done, I don’t want to see you any more.”

“No slap, no yelling, no nothing. You don’t want to see me because you love me,” answered Julian.

Gigi stopped walking.

Jessica punched him, “Shut up! I told you before Emerald doesn’t fall for cold blooded bastards, back stabbing assholes like you!”

“On the contrary Sapphire, she does,” Julian replied. “She does…so much…” He only saw Gigi shake her head. “Look Gi, I know I lied, maybe deceiving you, not telling you the truth isn’t the best way to make you love me, but I really do love you. I fell in love with you instantly the moment I set eyes on you, and that was long before I knew you were Emerald. I could’ve had you that night, heck you were seriously all over me, but I didn’t…I didn’t take advantage of you. I could’ve killed you, hurt you, over power you that other night, but I didn’t.”

“I don’t care,” Gigi said trying to have confident, coldness and courage in her tone of voice. “I don’t give a shit anymore. Words out of your mouth is all bull. I now know better than trust anything a conniving asshole like you ever says,” she said, half way through her statement, her voice began to crack. It took all her strength to just not cry.

“Yes you do care!” Julian argued.

Ruby held the knife against Julian’s neck, cutting him lightly.

“Shit, bitch…” he mumbled/

Gigi looked back at Julian and saw the blood.

“See Gi, you do care about me, just as much as I love you,” Julian said.

“Shut up!” Ruby declared angrily. “We want you to talk about your plans, we want information, we don’t want to hear you bullshitting to Em, telling her how much you love her or how much you think she loves you, so shut the hell up!”

Julian didn’t flinch, his eyes were focused on Gigi.

While Gigi had her hand over her gun, anticipating some sort of occurrence to take place.

“Where are Tony and Leon?” Ruby asked. “Talk or I’ll kill you!” Ruby took the knife wanting to slit his throat.

“Ruby!” Gigi called stopping her.

Everyone looked at her.

“Please…” Gigi said. “Don’t…Please.”

~Police Station~

Dicky had a meeting with his superiors, he’s been in there for almost four hours. He was obviously peeved. Ticked off. Everyone in his department, had seem to have left for home, at least that was what he assumed. He entered the large office, went to his desk and shoved everything on it to the ground.

“Angry?” he heard a voice from behind.

Dicky looked back and saw Athena. “Why are you still here?” he asked. “Don’t you ever go home? Don’t you have a life?”

“I’m going now,” Athena said, she had her bag over her shoulder. “How about you?”

“I can’t leave now, not after this mess I’ve made.”

Athena nodded, and started towards the door. “Have fun, buh bye.”

“Ey…aren’t you going to help?” Dicky asked.

“Naw…” replied Athena. “You can clean up your own mess.”

“You aren’t going to leave me now are you?” he asked.

“You did…” she said.

“Still angry about that?” Dicky asked. “Don’t be so petty. Come on Athena, I did bring you food this morning.”

“One I never asked you,” she said. “Two you owed me.”

“I just got into shit now,” Dicky said, hoping for some sympathy.

“Aww poor baby,” Athena said continuing to walk. “Bye.”

“You really…” he began, but he saw Athena reach the doorway, her eyes weary she looked as if she was going to drop, he ran to her aid. “Look at you. Always over working yourself. You’re going to drop in the middle of the streets one day.”

“That’s why I’m going home now, to rest,” answered Athena.

“Here, I’ll take you home,” he offered.

“I have my care here,” Athena said.

“I don’t,” he replied. “Perfect.” He threw his papers and documents, folders and everything back on his desk carelessly. “Let’s go,” he said. But before they reached the car he borrowed her phone and made a phone call, then drove her home.

~Bar~

“Em, he either talks or dies,” Ruby said, “everything that’s happened is all his doing. He’s J.C., that bastard who ambushed us remember? Remember Leon being beated and held captive. Leehom becoming lame? It’s all him.”

“I know, but he cannot be held responsible for everything,” Gigi said. “He’s just a dog following his master’s orders.”

“Em, for all we know he could be the one behind all this,” Ruby announced. “So far everyone we met up with face to face had to follow his orders.”

The lights began to flicker.

“Are you going to talk?” Ruby asked. “I’m not going to ask again.”

“Girls what’s going on I’m losing you…frequency…cut…hear…happening…” they heard Annie’s voice.

Gigi’s heart began beating insanely, the moment of truth has come. The next time the light flickered, she reached for her gun, each flicker of the lights cued her every move. Taking out her gun, slowly approaching Ruby, and Julian, aiming her gun, when the lights were completely off.

During the commotion of the lights, no one noticed Gigi’s actions, except one. A gun shot went off, followed by another. They heard two people moan in pain.

“Shit…” Julian muttered, as Ruby released him and fell back onto the floor. Soon he felt another grab hold of his arm, dragging him somewhere. “What the hell…” he said aloud. He felt his sleeve dampen. He had a hunch to who was by his side, but dared not speak. Just before they made it out safely, the lights flickered on, and beside him he saw her, it was none other than Gigi. Her shirt was soaked in fresh blood, still dripping from her. There was a trail of blood behind them. “Gigi…” he said completely surprised.

She looked weary as if she couldn’t take the pain any longer, as if she were to collapse any second. “Go…” she mumbled.

“Em…” Michelle called to her friend, staring at the blood dripping from her. “What are you doing?”

“Sorry…” Gigi mumbled, not looking at Michelle. “You can’t hurt him,” she looked over to Ruby who was on the floor, her shirt began to lightly damp with hints of blood. “Ruby…” she whispered, hurtfully.

“RUBY!” Edison exclaimed dropping the gun clutched in his hands, and ran to her side. “Ruby…” he said shaking her. “Ruby….don’t die…don’t leave me,” he said, close to tears. Slowly more and more blood sipped through her shirt.

Michelle and Jessica were both too stunned, they couldn’t absorb what was happening. Did Emerald, just fire at Ruby?

Gigi had tears flooding down her cheeks, her eyes never leaving Ruby’s motionless body. “My life is in your hands,” her words kept repeating in Gigi’s mind.

Julian picked her up and carried her away.

Jimmy fired three shots as Julian took Gigi away, but Jessica slapped the gun out of his hands.

“Michelle, Jess, we gotta help Ruby,” Edison said. “I can’t lose her!”

Michelle sat beside Ruby, and studied the wound, that supposedly laid on her left breast. She checked the pulse, and was silent for a long while. She looked out the door, staring at the blood on the floor, Gigi’s blood, then finally spoke, “We need to get Ruby out of here now,” she said, getting up and making for the door ahead of the gang.

Edison picked Ruby up and ran her to the door, while Annie ran in, “What happened?” she asked

“We need to get Ruby out of here now!” Edison exclaimed, running passed her.

They got Ruby into the van, and Annie started on driving them back to the yacht.

Michelle was silent for a long while, while Jessica was checking Ruby’s pulse. Out of the blue Michelle asked, “Who fired the shot?”

“It’s obvious, your so called friend Gigi shot Ruby,” Jimmy replied angrily.

“No,” Michelle said, “I mean the first shot.”

“It was dark how can you tell who shot who first?” Won Bin asked.

“Different guns make different sounds when fired. Em’s gun was fired after the first,” Jessica said. “None of you guys should have guns, except…” she looked at Edison.

“It wasn’t me,” Edison said.

“I did, that whore shot was going to shoot my sister, it was either her or Ruby,” Jimmy announced.

“You…” Michelle exclaimed. “If anything happens to her I’ll kill you!”

“Hey! Ruby! She shot Ruby! She wanted to shot Ruby first!” Jimmy argued.

“Ruby’s going to be fine,” Jessica said. “She just had the wind knocked out of her.”

“What?” Edison asked. “Why did you say we needed to get out of there? What about the blood?”

“We needed to get out of there,” Jessica said. “Not enough blood for a bullet wound that severe.”

Michelle undid Ruby’s shirt, and pulled a metal plate out of Ruby’s bra. The bullet was welded into it. “She was prepared, the blood was merely for the edge of the metal digging into her skin.”

Jimmy stared at Ruby, “How was I suppose to know that? Gigi saved the enemy! You heard them! She’s in love with that Julian guy. What wouldn’t she do for her lover?”

“It’s Em! She wouldn’t do such a thing!” Annie announced.

“I think Em and Rubes had something planned,” Jessica said.

Edison was holding Ruby’s hand tightly, relived to know that she’ll be okay, yet still worried for her. He kissed her hand. “Don’t scare me like this Ruby…”

************************************************************************

“Please be okay Gigi, please,” Julian prayed as he stepped on the accelerator of the car, and speed into the darkness of the night.
