#UNEDITED
"He got kidnapped" they muttered, but Jinx shook her head immediately the words came out of their mouths...
"I'm calling bullshit on that" She said.
"Is there any better explanation?" Loud replied, removing his face cap, and they both darted their eyes to the bloody road.
The four bodies of the dead masked men are still lying flat on their faces, but then they noticed a zippo beside one of them.
It was Loud who went for it and picked it up.
It's Madden's electric lighter, stained with the blood of the enemies, and there's a waiting message crawling around the body.
• Call Micheal.
"What's this supposed to mean?" Jinx asked.
"Just call Micheal" Loud replied, and she retrieved her phone, dialling Micheal's line, the line is off.
"The plane must have taken off already. He probably activated flight mode" Loud sighed.
"And why are you so calm?" Jinx faced him restlessly.
"You started working for Death, long before me. You should know there's a reason behind this." Loud replied, and Jinx sighed too.
"Then what next? Should we tell the whole clan?" Jinx asked.
"Nope. We don't want a mob war, trust me. Godmother will lose it, so just hang out with me till we receive a signal" Loud replied, walking back to the Audi already.
"You mean we can't go back to the compound till the end of this?" Jinx asked, rushing after him.
"F+ck yeah" he replied, entering the car.
"Then where the f+ck are we going?" Jinx asked, getting in on the other side.
"I'll find a cinema. We can while away time and keep trying Micheal's line" Loud replied, bringing the car engines to life before driving down the road.

DAYBREAK, COLORADO*
The plane landed at exactly 5am, and immediately Adeline stepped out, she couldn't fight the nostalgic feeling that drowned her.
Colorado air buffeted her in the face like a stormy sea, and she took her time taking it all in.
This place might make her feel miserable, but it's also the place she last saw her parents, so yes, she missed it.
A sad smile crept to her lips as she stared at the LED airport lights and the people filing out of the building, then she looked down at her outfit.
She's wearing ripped baggy jean and a baggy shirt too then black boots... All bought by Madden's money.
Her mind went back to him, and his soft words echoed in her head
"DON'T GO"
It's the softest she has ever heard him speak, and she nearly went on her knees right there, but she just held it inside.
She has to change these clothes as soon as possible and be a female for the rest of her stay here, even if it's just 24 hours.
She walked out of the place, the voice coming from the intercom blarring around till she got to the main road.
"Adeline!" A familiar voice hollered, and she looked ahead to see her old aunt Odessa waiting in a old Mercedes beside the road.
A huge smile took over her face, and she quickly crossed over.
The old woman came out to hug her fondly.
"Can't believe this" she said, and Adeline chuckled before breaking the hug.
"You look like a total boy where did you hair go? Did you cut it? And ...
"This is the nature of my job, aunt. I'm comfortable this way" Adeline cut her off, and she sighed, holding her face.
"Poor you... Kimberly ran off with your parents investment money and no one has seen her since then. I warned your father against adoption but he was so stubborn about it." She said, and Adeline shrugged.
"Kimberly is probably dead somewhere...can we go now? I need to shower" she said.
"Of course! Get in" Odessa said, brushing her grey hair back with her palm.
Adeline got in with her, and the drive to her place started.
Adeline winded down the window, taking in more of the spring air.
"It already rained here last week, heard the temperature is still low in Russia" Odessa suddenly said.
"It's increasing, and it'd soon rain over there too. I can't wait for that actually" Adeline replied.
"Of course...I know how much you love the first rain" Odessa smiled, and silence returned into the car.
Odessa is not a silent person, so Adeline knew she's cooking up something to say.
She savoured the silent moment, counting the minutes before they get to her place with her mind.
"So... Any new relationships?" Odessa finally spoke.
"That's far off" Adeline replied flatly.
"Betrayal doesn't mean you should become immune to feelings. It's already been five years, Adeline. You're 25, and you're not getting younger. You need your own kids too, and I'd love to see them before I die. I have no kids like you know... I suffered from womb problem throughout my life and there's no hope. Maybe one day when you get married and have twins, I can take one" she replied, and Adeline laughed heartily.
"It's not a joke, Adeline. I want to see you getting married. I want to see you walk down the aisle with a man who loves and cherishes you like a treasure. I want to see you pregnant and bath your babies" Odessa said again, and Adeline suddenly started feeling emotional suddenly.
Those feelings are what she hasn't even thought about for once since five years ago.
Maybe she's blinded by revenge, but she hasn't thought about what it'd feel like to walk down the aisle with Madden.
Wait... Madden?
Scratch that. Cancel it.
He's a man who can't even sleep beside her or show an atom of affection.
F+ck... He doesn't even wanna kiss her.
He has no heart to love and marriage is probably in his never-to-do list, talk more of having kids.
Why is she thinking about him in this crucial moment anyways? Why is her head full of him when it's her future Odessa is talking about?
Is she probably running mad?
The car halted in front of Odessa's studio apartment, and that brought her out of her reverie.
The apartment is just big enough for two people, but Odessa is the only one who stays anyways...
No kids.
She led her in, and Adeline dropped her backpack on the small couch.
The woman dished out a female fitting gown from her wardrobe surprisingly, and Adeline took it.
"I buy clothes almost everyday, in all sizes for my unborn kids" Odessa said, and Adeline took it with appreciation.
She was shown to the bathroom where she had a bath, but unluckily, there's no purple soap here.
She put on the gown which fitted her body surprisingly, then she returned to the living room.
The time is 8am already, and Odessa is already cooking breakfast in the attached kitchen.
"I can help" Adeline said, taking the carrots and cabbages in the tray to start cutting.
Seems she's gonna be making some salad.
"I came to the jailhouse the day you got released, but you were gone. I went to your family house but you were nowhere too. I lost my phone unfortunately, and I got no help in getting back your number since then, till two days ago when I met one of your highschool friends... I got your number back from her" Odessa explained as she washed the rice.
"My highschool friend? I had a lot back then so I can't remember which" Adeline replied.
"You were a cheerful teen, I understand" Odessa smiled.
"The thing about my parents involvement with the Russians" Adeline suddenly said, stopping the cutting to face her.
"Was thinking we could talk about it over breakfast" Odessa said.
"Now is good too" Adeline impatiently said, and Odessa sighed before turning off the gas.
"Actually, your parents got involved with The Bratva" she said.
"The Bratva?" Adeline couldn't blink.
"Yeah. Isn't that what they call the Russian Mafia organization?" Odessa said.
"Oh... Sure" Adeline replied quickly.
"Your parents got involved with their leader, Erik Orlov. Back then, you were just two years old...you knew nothing" Odessa said.
"Yes?" Adeline said.
"Your mother got pregnant with her second baby, and at that same period, your father came down with a heart problem which needed a transplant. Coincidentally, Erik came to Colorado to close a business with the CEO of the company your mother worked in. She begged for a loan to buy the available heart for your father, but her boss said no. Coincidentally, Erik was there during her pleas, so he gave her an offer. He'd pay for your father's new heart on condition" Odessa said.
"And?" Adelines heart hammered.
"The condition was that after the birth of the baby, your mother would give him the child as repayment" Odessa said.
"What!" Adeline gasped shockingly.
"Yeah. Erik gave her the money for your father's heart transplant, and Erik survived the surgery, but the child died after your mother gave birth" Odessa continued.
"Which means... I had a sister after all, and I didn't even get to meet her" Adeline said tearfully, and Odessa nodded.
"Your parents had plans to tell you about it during that bloody birthday, but then they got killed" She said.
Adeline couldn't even help with the cabbages anymore.
She became too weak, so she just silently left the kitchen, walking to the living room to sit.
Her parents lost the second child, and that only means they'd have to repay Erik with money.
Maybe they couldn't afford the money... Is that why Erik sent Corey to kill them?
No... That can't be.
Her parents had 36 million worth of investments, so that should be more than enough to pay Erik's debt, so what actually happened?
The story is still not clear... At all.
"Adeline" Odessa came to her, and she stood.
"I need to go to the family house... I'll be right back" she said.
"Take my car" Odessa offered her the keys, and she rushed out of the house.

RUSSIA, YAKOV CINEMA~10AM*
Jinx's head is on Loud's shoulder, and she's deeply asleep.
Neither of them slept throughout the night, they kept taking turns to dial Micheal's line but it never went through.
Loud's eyes is wide open though, staring at the wide TV at the front.
No one else is in the cinema with them since everyone left after the movie ending credits finished playing last night.
He looked down at Jinx's face and sighed, trying Micheal's line again.
It's still switched off.
He was about to pocket his phone when movements from behind him alerted him.
Even from her sleep, Jinx got suspicious, so her eyes flew open.
At once, they grabbed their guns, stood and turned around only to see Malik at one of the backseats.
"Easy... Easy" he said, raising his hands up.
"What the f+ck are you doing here?" Jinx demanded, jumping over the chair to go to him.
"I told you I don't fancy your unannounced appearances asshole!" Loud snapped, walking to him too.
"I've been here since last night, just mixed with the crowd" he replied.
"Here to do what?" Loud demanded.
"Watch movies obviously!" Malik spat.
"Stop trying to fit into Death's good book! It's never gonna happen!" Jinx shouted.
"That's not the case. This ain't my first time here! My disabled sister always came here to see movies with me before she lost her legs, and I got a message from home that she fell from her wheelchair and died last week. I only came here to reminisce about her ok?" Malik replied.
That seemed to silence the two cos they didn't say anything.
"Well... sorry about that" Jinx said.
"Are you guys like...dating? Why are you here together?" Malik asked.
"Dating? Nope. We came here to kill time" Jinx replied.
"Why?" Malik asked further.
"Death got kidnapped" Loud replied, and Malik gave them a blank look before bursting into laughter.
They remained serious, so his laughter stopped.
"Wait...what!" His eyes widened.
*
BARYBINO, MOSCOW*
The house is a small one, located in the middle of a thick brown forest.
There are so six male guards patrolling the perimeter, and everyone of them has the cross tattoo on the right side of their necks.
Inside the house, there's no single male guard.
All the guards are females, and they have the tattoo on their necks too, their long guns intact in their hands as they strolled around the walls.
A taller lady came out of a hidden door, dressed in a combat gear like the rest of the females.
Looks like she's the head of the guards, and apart from her neck tattoo, Oana was boldly tattooed on her right upper arm.
"Is boss not here yet?" She asked the others.
"No. She'll take longer than planned cos there's a delay" one of them replied.
"Is she serious right now? We've been holding him for hours it's dangerous he's not a regular hostage!" Oana replied.
"Calm down he's tied with the strongest ropes in Russia... there's no way he can break free" another one said, and Oana scoffed, walking out.
Inside the room she came out from, there's Madden, tied to an iron chair with knotted ropes all-over his body.
His head is down like he's still unconscious, and his phone is on the ground, smashed and destroyed completely.
There are four more female guards inside with him, walking around, and the walls of the room is electric, each screen displaying everything happening in the surrounding forest.
Madden groaned out, then he threw his head back, his hair slicking back. There's no single cut on his face, but there's soot from the smoke bombs.
He opened his eyes and looked ahead, taking a good look around him before looking at himself.
When he saw the rope and knots he was tied with, he chuckled, almost bursting into laughter.
Nah...this is disrespectful, considering the fact that he invented the knot, and the rope is the exact one tied to his basement ceiling.
Is he a f+çking joke to them?
Well...he can't wait for their boss too.
What they don't know is that they didn't kidnap him...he allowed it.
And smashing his phone is just stupid cos the tracker might be destroyed, but his last location would still be on Adeline's phone.
Adeline should better be safe.
*
COLORADO*
Adeline came out of Odessa's car right in front of the family house, and images of her parents were the first thing that appeared in her head.
There's no difference between now and when she visited it after leaving jail three months ago.
She entered the house, and though it's empty cos Kimberly sold all the properties, but their memories are still intact.
She could imagine her young self learning the making of perfume from her dad and promising him to open a perfume company in the future.
She could imagine standing behind her mum in the kitchen, learning cooking.
She almost broke into tears, but then she saw a faded paper lying below the floorboards.
She lifted the board and took the paper.
It's faded, but the letter inside is still intact.
Corey's letter...the one he inserted into the cake.
~It's shameful to say this in person, and that's why I'm choosing to say it this way. I'm an assassin, specifically sent to kill your parents, but I'd never do that, which is why I'm writing this. Please run away from Colorado. Ion know what businesses your parents have with Erik Orlov, but run with your parents... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH...ADE.
"You finally read that" the unexpected voice said behind her, and she turned swiftly to see Corey coming in by the door.
"Corey? What the f+ck are you doing here in Colorado? Did you follow me from Russia?" She smirked.
"Yes" he nodded.
"What else do you want? Lie some more?" She scoffed.
"I swear, Ade. None of the things I told you were lies except my age. You're actually one year older than me" he replied.
"You're 24?" She replied.
"Yeah, Everything else is true, including my feelings" he said, coming closer again.
Adeline made to move back, but he pulled her arm, and she sighed.
"I could have dated Trixie, but i treated her like just friends only because of you. I still love you... nothing changed" he said, making sure to hold eyes with her.
Adeline didn't make any attempt to move again, so he leaned in, and before another heartbeat, he pressed his lips on hers, kissing her.
That same moment, a hidden camera captured the kiss by the window, and Adeline pushed his chest away.
"I feel nothing anymore, Corey" she said, walking out of the house.
"Ade!" He started following her
"Don't!" She warned, and he stopped till she got to the car.
Immediately she sat, her phone fell from her gown pocket, and it automatically came on.
It has been off since the flight, and she forgot to put it on since she landed.
She threw the phone on the second seat, but it began ringing.
It's Loud, and she quickly picked.
"Death got kidnapped" Loud broke the news instantly, and her eyes widened.
"The f+ck?"
"We were told to call you. Any way forward? The clan mustn't hear of it" he said.
Adeline ended the call, checking the tracker he planted on her from his phone.
Through it, she got his last location as a forest in Barybino, and she drove off, leaving Corey in front of the house.
She made a quick stop at Odessa's place and couldn't even eat breakfast anymore.
She just picked her ticket and booked a late minute flight before driving to a boutique.
She got tight leather trousers and a red crop top, then a black wig and new heels.
She dressed up in them and wore light makeup before leaving the boutique.
From there, she drove to the airport.
Before 8pm, she'd land in Russia for sure.
*
RUSSIA, BARYBINO~9:30PM*
Oana literally stormed back into the thin hallway where the female guards are still lined at, the impatience in hr eyes glimmering so much.
"Are you sure boss is still coming?" One of the ladies asked.
"No idea...she's not picking my calls anymore" Oana replied.
"Are you sure you sent him the pictures of Death?" Another female asked.
"Dumbass that was the first thing I did when the men brought him!" Oana snapped angrily, waltzing into the room where Madden is still sitting.
His patience bundle has been long exhausted, and the only thing left in his bloodstream right now is fury.
Mad f+çking fury.
"Does your f+çking boss live in a hole? It's boring to wait like this" he spoke up, his legs shifting on the ground.
"Keep shut" Oana replied, and Madden promised himself right there that he's gonna kill her and drain her blood then paint his workroom wall with it.
"Someone is coming! Someone is on her way here!" One of the ladies suddenly rushed in.
Oana rushed to one of the wall screens and zoomed in.
Pictures of different angles of the forest appeared, and in one of the pictures, Adeline could be seen running through the shrubs, her gun intact in her hand.
Her long flowing black wig has fringes in the front, covering her forehead and balancing on her lashes.
Her bellybutton is out under the crop top, and the tight leather trousers outlined her thick thighs.
She's so damn hot that fire would be jealous right now, and she looks too different.
"Never seen her before... she's hot" Oana said, desire playing in her lesbian eyes.
"She's coming here bî+ch! How did she find out the location?" The other lady said.
"That's unimportant, just go tell the males that i need her alive... She's mine" Oana replied.
"Call her yours again, and I won't only paint with your blood but also wipe the ground with your tongue" Madden said, and Oana turned to him.
"I told you to keep shut" she muttered, getting her gun angrily. She straight-up pulled the trigger.
Madden expected the bullet to hit him in the arm since it's obvious she can't kill him, and it really hit him in the arm, but it's not a bullet.
It's a syringe dart, and immediately it entered his system, he felt it...
The familiar crazy sensation...
The derangement....
The insanity!
It's the serum he was always injected with at the basement, the madness serum!
Every single vein in his neck popped out immediately, and the neurons in his head sparked.
His eyes changed colour from white to red within a second, even the eyeballs.
His muscles grew, and his jaws went set in a sharp straight line.
"Boss told us not to inject him!" One of the other females said fearfully.
"You saw how he was talking!" Oana glared, then a call came in on one of the screens, from the boss.
Oana picked it quick.
"Boss!"
"Vacate the house right now!" Masked Monster's voice came.
"But...
"Vacate the house!!" The order came again, and the line went off.
Gunshots was already coming from outside the house, so loud and sharp and consecutive.
"Let's go" Oana told the rest, but when they turned, Madden was already at his feet.
The rope he was tied with is on the ground.
He untied himself already, and his head is tilted, the signature cruel smile smearing his lips so much.
It was so scary that the females stepped back.
"Your guns!!" Oana shouted, and they all got their weapons , but before any of them could even shoot, a different gunshot came outside the room, and more than twenty bullets rammed into the wall, shattering that part.
A pair of black boots stepped in, and Adeline showed up savagely. Her face, clothes, shoes and hands stained with blood...
...Blood of the female guards in the hall, and the male guards in front of the building.
She's holding a sharp pointed stick which she professionally threw forward without waiting.
The stick shoved into the chest of one of the females, then it entered the two others that are standing behind her too, making three.
They fell dead on the systems, their blood staining the keys and screens, and Oana changed her aim to Adeline instantly.
Madden got in the way, and the real bullet hit his arm this time, but he felt nothing till he arrived at Oana's face and snatched the gun.
Oana threw a punch which he effortlessly caught.
He cruelly crushed her wrist bones and twisted it back before stabbing it with the gun barrel.
"Urghhhhh!!!!!" Oana sang in hellish symphony, but it wasn't over.
Madden did the same to her second arm, breaking the two completely before going for her eyes.
He removed the sharp stick from the bitçhes on the ground and shoved it into the first eye, then the second one.
Her eyeballs followed the stick out, but Madden still wasn't content.
"Damn you this isn't over!!!!!! Boss will end you!!!!!!!!!!!" She cried as hot blood covered her face.
"SHE'S MINE" her earlier words rang in Madden's head, and he went crazier.
He opened her mouth and shot her tongue, so the flesh fell out of her mouth.
All these while, Adeline stood behind him, beside the door, watching him do justice silently.
The syringe is still stuck in his arm, so she knows for sure that it's messing with his head right now, and till he sees Oana in pieces, he won't stop.
He got Oana's gun and started shooting her repeatedly.
The bullets entered every part of Oana's body, including her breàsts.
When the 25 bullets in that gun finished, he picked another fun from the ground and continued shooting her with that one...
Relentlessly. Mercilessly. Pitilessly till all he could see was blood.
"She fuçking belongs to me... ME!" He growled madly.
"Madden" Adeline finally whispered behind him, and he slowly turned.
He didn't bother to even drop the gun, but immediately he sighted her again, his feral eyes calmed, and he started walking to her impatiently.
Adeline started walking towards him too, fast like the wind as the space between them vanished.
They ran into each other, and Madden held her possessively by the throat, hauling her to his face before crashing his lips dementedly on hers.
There's nothing pure about the kiss.
It's INSANE and HUNGRY. They tasted each other's souls on their tongues.
"Dusha moya" Madden growled into her sweet little mouth, and Adeline moaned, pushing her breasts against his chest.
F+ck you... Corey.
TBC.
