happening"

Picklock ran to his old car as quick as possible to follow James, he stepped into the car and drove at a very high speed, hopefully to catch up with Wade's Porsche.

 

Patricia drove fast and at the same time picked up her phone to call her father

"Pick up, pick up!" Patricia said as she looked at her phone.

The phone continued to call but no one answered 

"Damn it, dad" Patricia said to herself, for she cannot wait to inform everyone James is the Magnificent Cat. 

Patricia continued to drive as fast as she could she took a quick look at her mirror and saw the sports car with James init right behind her

"No freaking way!" she said as she saw James driving right behind her, following her as fast as he could

"Pull over!" James shouted

"Get lost James!" Patricia shouted back "it's over!"

James's car drew closer and knocked the back of her car hardly. Patricia held up a small gun from her purse and tried to shoot the car's wheels several time. It didn’t work.

"Please!" James continued to shout "pull over!"

Patricia took a sharp turn exiting Bevin and entering the short cut on the way to Slycity. James did the same and continued to follow her.

 

Patricia drove even faster at Slycity and was honking and beeping the car's horn on and on. She didn’t slow down at all.

James knew exactly where is this going, he knew he was heading to Slycity, he knew he was definitely entering Ruddick and Alden's territory, but also knew he is getting closer and closer to the Magnificent cat and that all what it matters to him.

 

Patricia finally approached the gigantic main gate and continued to blow the horn.

"Did you hear that?" Alden asked as he tried to pull Ray's dead body out of the office.

"Are they here already?" Ruddick questioned as he looked at Alden "leave the body here, why don’t you instead get the army ready!"

Alden dropped down Ray's corpse and went to check on the army

Ruddick looked through the hidden camera at the main gate and could see Patricia honking the horn as if she was in a hurry.

"It's Patricia" Ruddick shouted hoping Alden could hear him "I am opening the gate"

 

Patricia continued to blow the horn until the gigantic gate opened a little.

Patricia jumped out of the car; she ran and pressed a hidden button right behind the hidden camera in order for the gate to open wider.

James jumped out of the car and yelled "Patricia! No!"

She ignored him and entered in to the gate as quick as possible

"Patricia!" James Shouted

"Back off, James" Patricia shouted back as she entered in.

The main gate was starting to shut down slowly James ran as fast as he could to catch up with the closing gate. He ran and placed a little stone at the tip of the gate just to ensure that the gate doesn't close back.

By the time James entered the main gigantic gate he could see Patricia already reaching the half of the compound and heading to a very large building.

James looked around the place and it was indeed scary. "Patricia!" he shouted

He continued to look around and could see the main gate closing at him and bombs were around the entire place. He ran forward to continue chasing Patricia, but the entire place was full of traps and he wasn’t even carrying his protection gun. Suddenly James could see a large bulb buzzing. And as it buzzes, automatic shots were being fired randomly throughout the compound.

James ducked down for cover and turned back quickly and started to run the opposite way, wishing that the main gate is still open for his final escape.

 

Patricia went to the back of the building and took a secret elevator which leads directly to the main office on the top.

 

Alden ran to the office and said "I think someone is here! Did you hear the Alarm buzzing?

"Are you sure?" Ruddick asked seriously

Ruddick ran to the Spy Window and could see a person standing at the main gate

"Impossible…I saw Patricia earlier at the gate" Ruddick said angrily as he went to pick up his weapon "who the fuck is that? Who the fuck did she came with!"

"What are you doing?" Alden asked

"I am trying to shoot an intruder, you idiot" Ruddick shouted "why don’t you go and get the armies ready as I told you"

Alden left the room hurryingly.

 

Ruddick aimed his weapon at James and started to shoot.

 

James could see a huge missile approaching which looked like a chopped iron; he dodged as fast as he could, trying to escape the missiles.

Ruddick continued to shoot more irons.

James is now heading to the gate hoping it wasn't completely closed. 

Just as James was trying to reach the main gate, he felt the iron stabbed through his back hardly, it was the most painful thing anyone could imagine.  He fell down and hit the ground hardly, at this point he knew he was shot, and shot badly

"Ahhhhh" James cried in pain as his face touched the ground. 

 

Ruddick smiled as he watched James dropped to the ground, he quickly reload his gun to aim for another shot, a better and final one.

 

"Stop" a voice shouted

Ruddick turned around and saw Patricia coming out of the elevator.

"Trust me, you don’t want to do that!" she shouted "stop shoot-"

Patricia did not finish her sentence when she shockingly saw her dead father's corpse lying on the ground.

"Oh My God…!" She shouted "Holly Shit…What the hell! No!"

Ruddick looked at her and rolled his eyes "I have business to take care off" he said as he turned to look back at the Spy window.

"You did that, did you?" Patricia shouted as she started to cry "You did this!"

Ruddick turned back to look at Patricia and said "Yes" 

"You sick, twisted monster" she said as she looked at him dirtily

"Well your father brought the Magnificent Cat without a fucking key!" Ruddick shouted

“What the hell are you saying?” Patricia said angrily “I don’t give a fuck!”

Ruddick walked closer to Patricia and said “let’s face this Patricia, I am not going to marry you, I am never going to marry you! I am not marrying a whore who sleeps around with losers like James”

Patricia looked at him shockingly and mad at the same time.

“Yes that’s right” Ruddick continued

“That’s not the real reason” Patricia interrupted “you are jealous”

“What?” Ruddick said with an angry smile

“You are jealous” Patricia repeated “you are jealous because James is twice the man you are! Much nicer, probably luckier and much more handsome”

“Shut up, Bitch!” Ruddick shouted

“Look at you” Patricia said again “you are nothing compared to James! Nothing..!”

“I can’t stand anymore of your bullshit!” Ruddick said angrily as he used his missile to fire one shot. The shot was so strong it blew Patricia out of the window next to the elevator she came from.

 

James still lying on the ground bleeding can see as Patricia falls out of the window; he was way too weak and didn’t know what was happening.

“Pat…Patricia” he said lowly to himself.

All of a sudden James could see a hand reaching for him.

“Hold my hand” the voice said “come with me, let's get out of here!” 

James grabbed the hand blindly and falls unconscious. 

 

“Slut” Ruddick said as he watched Patricia’s dead body on the floor twenty feet down. He turned back to the spy window to finish what he stared, only to his surprise couldn’t see his target anymore.

“Where the fuck did he went…!” Ruddick shouted “and who was that?!”

 

Chapter 27 - Speedy Recovery

Some of the army has already hopped into the giant motor vehicle which they came from.

"We have to go" the chief gunman said loudly

He turned to look at Wade and said "Ready?"

"Yes" Wade replied "you are…"

"I am Steve" he replied sharply "I am the chief gunman for all these people, I mean that’s what Armand told me to do…you must be Wade?"

"Yes" Wade replied with Lisa by his side "nice to meet you Steve"

"Likewise" Steve replied "I have to lead the men to war, or do you want to do that yourself?"

"No, its fine" Wade answered "you lead your men and I will lead mine…I mean the ones that work here, well they know me more I can say"

"Alright then" Steve continued "we should be the boss here, let's get going, we don’t want to fight in the dark do we?"

"I will be right behind you" Wade said sharply "get the gunmen ready; I just have some few guns to arrange"

"Alright" Steve said as he looked at Wade and then turned to Lisa "Good luck"

  

Wade and Lisa watched as the army drove off with guns in the trunk of the truck.

"We should be going too" Wade said as he turned to Lisa

"I feel bad" Lisa said seriously.

 

Nick walked into the room without Wade or Lisa's awareness that he was in the room.

"Don’t back down now, Lisa" Wade said

Nick approached and hid behind a wall to hear them talking 

"I mean…it's ok if you don’t want to go" Wade continued "I will do it alone"

"No it's not that…" Lisa replied "I am definitely going with you, it's just that…"

"The Magnificent Cat must be destroyed, Lisa" Wade interrupted

"What?” Nick said lowly to himself

"I know" Lisa said calmly "but what is going to happen to them…everyone?!"

 

"That’s what I want to know too" Nick said as he joined in angrily

Wade turned and looked at Nick scarily

"Oh my God" Lisa said as she sigh 

"What the Hell is going on here!" Nick shouted

"Shush" Wade interrupted "let me explain"

"Explain what!" Nick continued to shout "I heard you! You are planning to destroy the Magnificent Cat, the only thing we've got!"

"As much as you hate what I am going to say, Nick" Wade said calmly "it is the right thing to do, trust me"

"The right thing…?" Nick shouted "are you thinking straight?"

"Yes, Nick" Wade continued "We had our enjoyment, it’s time to act fair and reasonable"

"Enjoyment…?" Nick questioned angrily "Wade, you are the one who had your enjoyment! Your luxurious apartment, your Porsche, and now you are just fed up and ready for an early retirement!"

"It's not like that!" Wade shouted "think about it, Nick, do you want to live in a world where No one ever says half of the things they said! What kind of non-sense is that?"

"Oh, you just realized what this business is about!" Nick shouted "after all these years, you just knew that!"

"Well" Wade said as he turned to Lisa "she is a victim, this girl lost both of parents to the Magnificent Cat! Now let's just imagine how many people are going through the same thing and suffering as well"

"I don’t care" Nick said angrily "this is my job and this is all I've got"

"So do I, Nick" Wade said nicely "and I am sure you can find a job…a better one too"

"Go to hell" Nick said as he dropped his gun "I am not fighting for nothing!"

"I respect your decision" Wade said "and I will be glad if you respect mine"

"I have no choice" Nick said as he walked away.

"Wade, maybe we shouldn’t" Lisa said sadly

"Lisa, do this for your father and mother, I think it’s the least you can do"

"You are right" Lisa said as she looked at him
