#UNEDITED
BACK AT THE COLUMBARIUM*
The shootout has been ongoing since thirty minutes ago, and it's still so very on.
Seems there are handfuls of the enemies inside the power house, and as Madden and Klara hit them, they fell to their demise from the roof of the house.
Over twenty of them already fell to death, but the bullets kept flying around from their hideout.
Klara might not be a good sniper like Madden, but at least he covered her well, making sure she didn't get hit throughout the shit show.
The enemies are wearing casual clothes with no masks on, and that only shows their level of boldness.
Madden hasn't seen them before, so they're obviously new enemies, but to know the source of their attack, he needs to at least catch one of them alive.
His phone was ringing in his back pocket, but he wasn't even hearing anything as he shot another enemy down on the forehead.
Maya is still hiding behind the shelf, but her patience is running dry as she watched her mother and brother fighting the battle alone.
They might be doing well, but she just can't watch anymore.
Just like Klara, she has a gun in her thigh strap, so she pulled up her floral gown and got the gun, but immediately she held it, her hands began shaking.
Hand tremor.
She has been suffering from it since she was young, and that's why she couldn't train when Madden offered to train her.
Anytime she carries a gun, her fingers shake.
Without minding, she wrapped her sweaty palm on the Beretta M9 and stepped out of the columbarium, joining her mother and brother outside.
She was targeted immediately, and a bullet almost hit her arm, but she hid behind a pillar before shooting back, bringing down that one.
Madden looked back swiftly.
"I f+çking told you to stay back!" He thundered angrily.
"I couldn't... You both aren't the only ones in the family. I am Maya Smirnov too!" She replied, coming out from behind the pillar as her hand continued shaking on the gun.
Madden pulled her to his back, covering her before shooting another one down.
"I can protect myself" Maya came back from behind him.
"If you get hurt, I'll kill you" Madden told her with a glare.
Maya didn't reply before joining Klara, shooting back-to-back with her.
They both covered Madden as he rushed all the way to the power house, going up through the raw metal stairs and kicking the door, but it wouldn't open.
He shot at the door three times, and the knob flew off, making the door open easily, then he went in.
Seems like only one of them is still standing cos he's hearing just one sound of a gunshot from a direction.
He went that direction, sliding across turbines and power plants till he arrived at the edge of the roof where that one is.
He's still shooting at Maya and Klara, and he didn't even look back till Madden grabbed him from behind, bringing him down before smashing his face hard.
His nose broke automatically, and the gun fell from him as blood rushed from his nose into his mouth.
"Who the f+ck sent you?" Madden questioned, but he said nothing, so he smashed his face again, and his jaw shifted, cracking loudly.
"Who sent you to my damn family?" He muttered, but the guy only smiled, running his tongue on something in his mouth.
Before Madden could get it, he bit down on it, then he vomited black blood before slipping away from Madden's hold, falling dead on the ground.
Madden squatted beside the body and pried his mouth open to see what he bit down on.
It's a cyanide tooth! A suicide pill.
"Shit" Madden muttered.
This only means one thing.... Their sender knows him. He knows if he catches then, he'd torture them endlessly to get a name.
Whoever sent them knows his ability, which is why they wore cyanide tooth so if they got caught, they'd bite down on it and kill themselves.
This is another confirmation that they weren't sent by Erik or Igor.
Those two aren't this smart.
He stood straight, then Klara and Maya came up too.
"What happened? Why is he dead?" Maya asked.
Klara took a look at the mouth, and she sighed.
"Cyanide tooth?" She said, but Madden is too busy staring at the neck of the dead guy.
There's a tattoo on the right side of his neck.
A cross tattoo.
He turned around to look at the necks of the other ones who were shot down, and they all also have the cross tattoo on the right side of their necks.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Maya asked him
"Let's leave" Madden simply replied, leading the way back down.
His phone rang again on the stairs, and he stopped to fish it out.
It's Lady Selesta calling.
He was wondering why before swiping green, and Angelika's cries almost deafened him immediately.
It's Angelika who called with Selesta's phone.
"Fûck! Tone it down..." Madden took the phone far from his ear.
"They're going to strip Micheal! They're trying to tear her clothes at the torture ground. What if they find out she's a female? The Pakhan will kill her... I don't want my Adeline to die!!" Angelika cried louder.
Madden's eyes flipped up, and streaks appeared in their corners.
"The fûck did you just say?"
"They're going to...
Madden hung up and raced down the stairs, marching the dead bodies till he to his car.
Thankfully, he brought a different car, so the females can drive themselves home.
He hopped into his car and drove off roughly down the smooth road.
Klara and Maya got down and sighed when they saw him driving off.
"Isn't it crazy that I still can't understand my own son at his age of 28? I should have stopped Erik from confining him in the basement back then. He dislikes me because of it" Klara said.
"What do you mean? You had no choice... Erik was much more powerful back then, and you wouldn't have been able to do anything even if you tried" Maya replied.
"I know, which is why I'm doing everything possible right now. Erik won't have the last laugh" Klara inched up her face.
"I believe in you and that MaddPsycho" Maya nodded as they walked to their car.
"Stop calling him a psycho" Klara smiled.
"But he is. Have you ever seen him cry since he was a kid? He doesn't smile too... I'd do anything to see him do those two" Maya replied as they both got in the car.
Klara drove them off.
*
CLAN, TORTURE GROUND*
The trial to take off Adeline's clothes has turned to an abuse show.
The thirty guards are still trying to strip her, but she was strongly pushing them all away.
Not like they can't hold her in place, but they're also enjoying taunting her. They were laughing as Adeline struggled with them.
The shoulder part of her shirt is torn already, then the tummy part, and her eyes are so fuçking red.
The guards came for her again, trying to shred the shirt for the millionth time, but she pushed them and got some sand from the ground, pouring it on the faces of many.
The mobsters hooted and jeered, loving the show.
Adeline's eyes didn't leave Kimberly's own throughout, and she couldn't help but think about the part she played in her coming here.
She was the one who told her to come to this clan disguised as a man, and she's also the one who turned against her, trying to expose her to the whole of Russia.
Is this really Kimberly? Her sister? The one she grew up with? The one who taught her how to wear menstrual pad and makeup?
She wanted to cry at that moment. She really wanted to, but the tears didn't come out at all.
Kimberly was laughing as she watched her struggling with the guards, and the look in her eyes says she can't wait for her shirt to be finally ripped.
Igor is still drinking vodka on the chair,and he's obviously getting impatient.
Andrei is still rooted behind him, and as usual, he's empty in the eyes. No one knows if he's enjoying this or not.
Everyone else began getting impatient, murmuring complaints.
• Enough of the show!
• Tear the shirt already!
• It's getting boring!
• Time is being wasted!
Kimberly picked the horsewhip from where she dropped it and started walking back to Adeline with the intention of tearing the shirt herself, but then Angelika squeezed herself into the crowd.
She ran all the way to Adeline and stood in front of her, widening her arms and blocking her from Kimberly.
"Don't touch him!" She said protectively.
Igor stood this time and came closer. He grabbed Angelika by the arm and literally threw her away.
The little girl landed far away, hitting her head on a stone.
She passed out as she began bleeding.
"Angel" Andrei and Adeline muttered at the same time and were about to rush to her when Lady Selesta rushed into the circle.
"Angel! Angel!!" She carried her, shaking her vehemently, but Angelika seems to be far gone.
"Igor!" Lady Selesta looked up with teary eyes.
"Yes?" Igor replied nonchalantly.
"How dare you!!! How dare you hurt my child!!" She yelled.
"Your child? Oh please I know the history about her so quit acting" Igor replied without any care and faced Kimberly.
"Tear off his clothes yourself, and start the whipping" he said and walked back to his chair.
Kimberly started walking to Adeline, but Adeline moved back, and Kimberly scoffed.
"You better stay still, Micheal. If you take one more step back, then I'll multiply your whip times three" she said.
Still, Adeline took another step back.
This time, Kimberly started running to her, but before she could get to her, Erik entered the place.
"Lock him up instead" he ordered, and quietness rented the place immediately.
"What do you mean by that, father?" Igor stood.
"Since he's so precious to Madden, I'll use him to get the goods from him" Erik replied.
"And then what? If Madden releases the goods, you'll spare Micheal?" Igor moved closer to Erik.
"You only have to watch. Micheal won't be spared" Erik replied, and Igor huffed.
House of Orlovs guards returned, then they took Adeline away, disappointing everyone.
The whip fell from Kimberly, and disappointment shawled her expression too.
In about ten minutes, the ground became empty except for Angelika's blood that's on the ground.
That moment, a Audi drove into the park...
Loud and Jinx came out of it, their hands stained with black soil.
They're just coming from where they went to uproot Stravinsky's body.
They haven't even moved an inch from the park when Malik rushed down to them.
"Oh wow! You guys are just returning? You missed a spectacular!" He sillily said.
Loud pushed him aside, and Jinx did the same, then they started leaving...
"Angelika! She's currently unconscious... Micheal got caught sneaking into The Pakhan's office...Kimberly and Igor and some compound guards nearly ripped him naked, and the overall news right now is that... He's currently locked up" Malik dropped the bomb, and they both turned back at once.
"What!" They chorused with damn wide eyes.
Almost immediately, Madden's Cherokee drove roughly into the park, almost jamming into Malik.
Malik had to jump on the trunk of another car to avoid getting hit till Madden stopped the car and came out.
The streaks took over his two eyes already, and right now he looks like a fuçking demon, and every goddamn vein in his arm is out.
"He...he got locked up but...I dunno where" Malik shakily said.
Madden didn't say a word to anyone before storming towards Igor's suite, and immediately he left, Malik rushed away, and Klara's car drove in.
She stepped out with Maya, and merely seeing the atmosphere, anyone would know something is wrong somewhere.
"Godmother" Jinx and Loud bowed respectfully to Klara who's looking around carefully.
"Who died?" Maya asked.
"No one, but Angelika is wounded according to the news, and Micheal is locked up by The Pakhan" Jinx replied.
"Today had to be chaotic... It'll be a long night" Maya muttered.
*
IGOR'S SUITE*
Igor had to take out his displeasure on someone, and luckily, the right person is always available.
Kimberly.
She's kneeling in front of him, sucking his dîck wetly, though they're both clothed.
Igor was groaning, facing the ceiling chandelier as she gagged on him, chocking on his cap.
"Darn... Don't go slow... Don't go slow!" He grinded his teeth, pushing himself brutally into her throat.
Saliva drooled out of Kimberly's mouth as she couldn't contain it all, and she mistakingly bit him.
Igor pulled out of her mouth and slapped her.
"I'm so sorry" she looked up at him and quickly took the dîck to continue sucking, but then the front glass window shattered as a bullet pierced through it.
Their eyes widened as they both faced the direction at once to see Madden jumping in.
"Are you out of your damn mind?" Igor glared, pulling up his trousers.
Before he could bolt his belt, Madden was already with him, punching him bloodily in the face.
"Darn!" Igor spat, punching him back.
The punch did nothing to Madden cos he returned it immediately, and Igor's nose bled out.
"Where is Micheal?" Madden asked the question.
Inside of answering, Igor punched back again.
The blow met Madden's lips, but it did nothing.
Madden grabbed Igor by the collar and went down with him on the couch, punching him one, two, three...
Quit counting... It was twenty punches at a go, and by the time he was done, Igor's face was bloodily unrecognizable.
"Where is Michael?" Madden asked again, his voice grave.
Igor chose the hard way again cos he raised his head and hit his forehead on Madden's own.
Madden threw his head back, then he brought his own forehead down on Igor's own, giving him a proper hit.
Blood ran out of Igor's mouth this time, and all the demons in Madden's head came out on display.
"Where. Is. Micheal?" He asked for the third time, each word burning deep end leaving a scar.
Igor opened his mouth to talk, but before he could do that, a thrash came landing on Madden's head from behind.
Blood ran down his face, journeying down his white shirt as he looked up.
It was Kimberly.
She hit a bottle of tequila on his head actually.
Madden smiled lethally, his bloody face giving him the look of Satan as he stood from Igor and came for her.
Kimberly began shifting back shakily, but she couldn't do that for long.
"You made a damn mistake" Madden muttered, throwing a punch at her throat.
Kimberly coughed up blood before going down unconsciously, then Loud and Jinx came in.
"Take her ... Await my orders" he said.
"Yes Master" they chorused, and Madden left the suite, heading for house of Orlovs.
Immediately he appeared at the threshold, Klara couldn't believe her eyes as the blood on his face.
"How did this happen!!!"
He walked past her, into Erik's room.
Erik was just about to come out of the room when he entered, so Erik stepped back.
"Michael... Where is he?" Madden asked, his voice too calm, too eerie.
"Release the goods, then we can talk" Erik replied craftily.
"Where is Michael?" Madden asked again, even calmer than the first time.
"Release the goods, stop acting sick! Did the basement mess with your head this much? Release the goods first!" Erik shouted.
The mention of the basement made Madden spiral, and just like it always happens, every other sound in the room disappeared.
The only sound he could hear right now is the sound of Erik's heartbeats...
Thump!
Thump!
Madden fell into the past...the basement.
FLASHBACK... AGE SIX*
"Who're you?" Madden asked with sign language as he gummed his body to the wall.
The basement is dead silent, and the Masked Monster is standing some feet away from him.
He raised his hand to his head, lowering the cloak cap and revealing his mask very well.
It's a ghost face mask... So scary, so bloody, so horrible.
Madden opened his mouth to scream again, but damn his muteness. He couldn't.
Masked Monster made long fast strides to him, and Madden fell on his butt before he could even get to him.
He squatted in front of Madden and grabbed him harshly by the throat, holding him in place before shoving an injection into his neck.
Madden went still, his eyes drooping and glossy as the silence deepened.
"Do you know what this injection does?" The Masked Monster's voice came.
That voice... It's a woman's voice.
"It'll crush your bones and your heart... it'll crush your soul and mind too. You'll lose your sanity bit by bit. Do you know the most interesting part? You'll start getting it everyday from now on" she whispered.
Madden passed out.
BACK TO THE PRESENT*
"Where is Michael?" Madden asked the question for the third time.
"Bring me the goods" Erik replied stubbornly, and Madden left the room.
He stalked out of the house like a stage-5 hurricane, meeting Malik in front of it.
"I... Actually... I captured the video of the compound guards who tried to strip Micheal earlier. They were thirty" Malik said, pointing his phone at Madden.
Madden took the phone and watched the video emotionlessly for two minutes, capturing their faces in his head before dropping the phone.
He matched the phone as he walked away, and the screen got condemned.
"Shit! The phone is new" Malik muttered.
*
AN HOUR LATER*
The clan fell into a deep chaos like it has never been since it's establishment.
Mobsters could be seen running around, and guards are slamming into each other.
It's as if the snow is aware of the upcoming war too cos it's falling aggressively.
There are thirty graves in the clan burial ground, all dug by the mobsters cos Madden told them to.
Madden stood in the middle of the burial ground, smoking jaguar calmly.
The calmness is too much that it's scary.
The thirty compound guards who abused Adeline earlier have all been captured, and they're currently tied up on the ground like luggages.
Everyone of them is begging for their lives.
...Cos any minute from now, they'll be getting buried ALIVE.
*
CLINIC*
Igor got carried here by Andrei, and though he got treated by his nurses, his face is still a mess.
He's leaning back on the pillow, and Andrei is beside him.
"You shouldn't have done that to Angelika" he said.
"What are you gonna do now? Beat me? She acted annoying " Igor replied, unable to speak well.
"She's just a child, Igor! She's a child, and now she's unconscious! You think you and The Pakhan can bring Madden to his knees by doing all of these? That guy is not human!" Andrei shouted, and Igor kicked him.
Andrei fell on the second bed, then Igor stood and kicked him again.
"Your shit has to stop, else I'll kill you myself one of these days. Watch as Madden releases the goods. Arresting Micheal means clipping his wings and he'd want his wings back" Igor said, but then a guard rushed in.
"There's a big problem!" He reported.
"What are you talking about?" Igor glared.
"Death... He's about to bury thirty compound guards alive" the guard replied, and Igor nearly fainted.
"What!"
*
BURIAL GROUND*
There's no hint of joke in the air.
It's infused with darkness, madness, and insanity.
Ten guards have already been buried alive, and the eleventh one is currently getting buried.
"Please please please!!! Kimberly gave the orders and we were only following! Please!!!!!!!!!"
No ear was ready to listen to his pleadings.
Loud and Jinx led the group of mobsters who are pouring soil on their heads.
Madden is still in the middle of the place, still calm and gentle, still smoking as he watched the impromptu burial.
May their damn souls rest in imperfect pieces.
He didn't move from his spot till the twentieth guard was buried alive.
The twenty first guard was just about to get buried when Erik came rushing.
His eyes were wide as he counted the number of graves which were already getting cemented.
Igor came running too, and his eyes almost fell from their sockets at the shock that hit him.
"Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!" Erik shouted in horror, his lips shaking as Madden faced him.
"Where is...
"He's in the underground water dungeon" Erik interrupted, horror filling his eyes too.
Madden started walking out of the place, his destructive calmness still intact.
"Continue the burial. All thirty" he ordered with an inhumane tone before going out of sight.
"Stop! It's an order" Erik spat, the mobsters stopped, dropping their shovels and diggers.
"Continue" Loud and Jinx chorused.
*
UNDERGROUND DUNGEON*
The water level is rising.
Every damn second.
The water dungeon is a confined drowning area, and Adeline is in the middle of the water.
When she was brought here an hour ago, the water only reached her ankles, but right now it has gotten to her waist level.
Any minute from now, it'd cover her head, and she'd die.
Is it strange that she's not scared a bit right now?
Her master might not have come for her at the training ground, but she knows he won't allow her to die here.
She has hit the iron door so much, but it's useless, so she just gave up and continued swimming in the cold liquid.
Kimberly.
Kimberly betrayed her, and now it's obvious she brought her to the clan to die.
The reason she drastically changed or why she's doing all of this is still unknown, but she's sure that this is only just the start.
So far she stays alive in this clan, then Kimberly will pay heavily for what happened today.
Now that the sisters bond has been broken, she gives no f+ck about anything else.
She'll find Corey's document and punish Kimberly, then she'd catch Corey and give him a delicious death.
But to do the three, she has to survive and leave this hellhole alive.
The water is currently at her br+àsts level, and slowly, like a dream...
The fear she has been suppressing started gnawing at her mind, and she went to the door again, hitting it repeatedly.
"Let me out! Let me out bastards!!! I can't die! It's not my damn time yet!!!" She yelled, hurting her knuckles in the process of hitting.
Her voice echoed in the heavy room, reverberating in the water.
Wet strands of her golden hair got stuck to her devastatingly tired face, then she left the door and walked back to the middle again.
She stood on a metal on the ground, and the metal raised her, so the water lowered to her stomach level, but it didn't take long before the water rose to her br+àsts level again, going to her neck level.
She's drowning!
"Let me out!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled, and she's sure she lost her voice after that insane scream.
A round door opened at the iron roof, and she gasped sharply...
"Master...!"
An hand stretched down to her, and she quickly grabbed it, but when she looked up, it's a different face.
Damn far from what she expected.
Her eyes widened.... "Corey"
TBC.
