Merciless ch. 3
Jack and Maria left the subway tunnel the next day both of them a little uncertain about what they should do now that Ty was gone.
Finally they decided they would stay at Jacks old house. When they got there it was a rotting mess.
"You used to live here?" said Maria raising an eyebrow.
"Nine years ago. Yeah" Jack said shrugging his shoulders.
"It was in alot better shape back then."
"Well its really our only choice so might as well make the best of it" Maria said as she tried to open the door and it fell over.
"Oops"
"Its fine" i said as I walked over the old door into the house.
It had obviously been many years since anyone had entered the house because everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. I spotted an old computer in a corner and out of curiousity I pressed the on button. the computer instantly rumbled to life. I sprang back because I hadn't expected anything to work in the house.
After about an hour of checking all the files on the computer, searching for food and making sure we weren't being watched I fell down onto the couch with a light thud and a thick cloud of dust flew into the air. Strangely everything in the house worked. Even the water. I turned on the TV and flipped through a few channels. I stopped at one and my mouth dropped open. A male fur in his forties was standing in front of Tys destroyed house but the bastard was making it sound like it was a traggic accident. I cursed and flung the remote at the TV shattering the glass and causing sparks to fly.
Maria walked into the room and said" I'm surprised you didn't expect this. Didn't Ty tell you S.C. has ties with the government?"
"No he didn't"
"Well I can imagine how pissed off you are but you can't just destroy things when you get mad."
"Uuhhh. your right" and I wen't back to looking at the computer. I decided the first place we should look is a site with anyone dealing weapons. Considering thats what S.C.'s main industry was. The only problem was they S.C. is built up of many dealers. So it would be hard to find the right one. Finally one caught my eye. It was dealing all the weapons the S.C. guard had and a few others as well.
I turned to Maria."I think I may have found something."
"Yeah. He works for them."
"How can you tell?"
"The tattoo on his neck."
I looked and saw a tattoo of a dog skull with two vipers coming out of it.
"How can you be so sure?" I asked with a curious glance at her.
"Jacobson has a brother with the same tattoo."
I was about to say "how do you know" when she cut me off and said" don't ask."
"Allright then " I said glancing back at the screen.
"The closest dealing is....."
"Tonight."
A few hours later they had stocked up on ammo and were driving in the car when a odd husky missing an eye pulled up beside them.
He rolled down the window and said"allright Maria I brought your rifle and the ammo."
"So whats up?"
"Jusy have to take care of some business Matt."
"Ohh. Anyway I can help?" The husky asked his tail starting to wag.
"Yes, meet us on route 55 east of here."
"Need a getaway car without a liscense plate huh?"
"Fine so long as I get paid this time and whos the kid by the way?"
"I thought that would be obvious for you Matt."
"Holy shit is he who I think he is?"
"I thought he was in the loony bin crawling around and screaming like the rest of them!"
"Ty helped him."
"Ohh. How is that crazy so n of a-"
"Dead." I finally said.
The husky turned to him with a grave look on his face. "Those bastards killed him!?!"
"Yes."
"Well son of a bitch!"
"You know what, hell I'm doing this for free."
"Teach them bastards a lesson, my way."
"What exactly is your way"I asked curiously.
"Running them over until theyr'e just a pile of goo and using them as axle grease."
"Stick with us and you can have whats left of them" I said revving my chainsaw so that it shredded through my coat.
"Fine with me, just watch were you stick that chainsaw."
It was now 8:00 p.m. and trucks were starting to pull up at the old truckstop where th weapons dealing would be held. Furs with some of the strangest and deadliest weapons stepped out of the shadows.
Maria was concealed up on the hill while I walked down to the truckstop. My hood up so no one would hopefully recognize me. As I walked in a few furs stared at me but looked away when they saw the the nice M4 carbine and AK-74s in my paws. I walked up to what apeared to be the biggest stall and said"What can I get for this M4?
A large panther wearing a leather jacket with the sleeves ripped off said"we don't take that kind of weapon."
"What about an AK-74?"
"Now that we take" said the panther with a sly grin."
"I'll give you $1,500."
"Make it $1,700."
The panthers grin disapeared"$1,600."
"Deal."
"I'm also looking for info. You sell any of that?"
"Who you looking for?"
"How did you know its a person?"
"Its the only info people usually care about."
"Allright then. Bastian Jacobson."
"Ol' Bast?"
"What did he do now."
"I just need info from him."
"Why not ask me from me?"
"Because it has do do with this" I held up a picture of the tattoo.
He hissed and stepped back."Put it away and I'll tell you."
I put the picture back in my jacket.
"Hes the one with the turret" he pointed at something behind me.
I turned to leave but I stopped and said" heres your payment. I flicked the 44. and blew his head off.
I turned to the crowd and said" fucker tried to steal my gun"pointing to my 74. The started dealing again without so much as a second glance. I turned and saw a large anti-aircraft turret with six 50 cal.s mounted on it. It looked very new and it appeared that there was a sort of auction going on. Only thing was the furs yelling out bids were hitting each other with chairs and beer bottles. I walked up to a wolf that was just sitting there watching the crowd fight.
"I take it your the owner."
He turned to look at me and said"piss off unless your bidding."
"Fine I bid... How about your life" as I revved my chainsaw in his face.
He seemed rather bored even though there was a chainsaw in his face.
"You must be Jack. My brother told me about you" he said still looking bored.
"Now what is it you wan't Jack surely your not here for the turret? After all you could have just cut those morons to ribbons if you had wanted to."
"I'm looking for your brother."
"Kind of figured. He was just here paying me a little visit."
"He gave me this" he said pointing to the spot where the tattoo should have been but instead there was a bloody mess I didn't notice before. I flinched at the sight of his ugly wound. i could see part of his spine and windpipe sticking out.
"The fact that I haven't died yet surprises me."
"Now I have a job for you. you find my brother and rip out his throat for me."
"Oh by the way he's heading for Russia. After all one of S.C.'s main dealings is with Russia-"
Suddenly his eyes went blank and he stopped in mid sentence.
Before I left the truckstop I planted a bomb on the panthers stand so that just when i reached the edge the entire place suddenly blew up. Due to all the ammunition and gas lying around.
I turned and said to Maria on my cellphone"we are going to Russia" and with that I slipped away into the darkness of the night......
