Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Down but not out

Motto: To become a king you have to kill one. That is law in the illegal world

Cristina, me and Jasmine sat in the trunk of my Range Rover. As we sat there a DEA Agent came me.

He then said, "My name is Lt. Samuel Corners. My father served with you Col. Anderson."

I looked at him and said, "I don't remember your father. And my days in the MI-5, I buried a lot of friends."

He got a picture from his wallet and showed me it.

I saw a man in a military uniform, recognized him and said, "Wind! Oh my I didn't know he had kids."

"Yep! He was the only man in your unit that survived Budapest. He told me how you saved his life. If it wasn't for you he wouldn't have made it home. I had 7 years with him before he died from cancer," he replied and I quickly said, "I didn't know. I am so sorry."

"It's nothing. He said we shouldn't worry you. That you would be hunting the men responsible. So on his dying bed he gave me a drive with the entire mission. And I watched you. We wanted Earl and his partners.

Then your mother reached put to us. Now you delivered him, a known terrorist and a highly corrupted prosecutor. We win," replied Samuel to me.

I then said, "Thank you."

"No! Thank you. My father was a man of war and spent his life in the military. But you brought him home to my mother and me. You gave us 7 years of him. He was a fighter to the end and he died fighting," replied Samuel to me.

I nodded and he went. Then I hugged Cristina. Three days later Dominic was in the shower when his window curtains closed.

As Dominic got his towel I said, "Your gun is not there."

I turned on the lights and he said, "Fuck!"

"I made you a promise. And here I am," I quickly told him and he said, "Yow! Nick no kills me. I have ten million inna di houses. A yours."

"Go fi it," I quickly told him as I held my gun on him.

He went out to the bedroom and saw his bitch on the bed, with a bullet to her head. He cried and then he went into his safe and got two duffel bags.

I used my gun to tell him to bring it out. He brought it out. As we went downstairs he saw his men dead on the stairs. As we passed his living room his staff and remaining security laid dead.

As he got outside his men laid dead. As he came out with the bags Garth pulled the limousine trunk. He put it in it.

Then he stepped back and said, "Nicholas you kill everyone! And now rob me. But you..."

Cristina then shot him in the head with her sniper, from up on the ridge. I smiled and went into the limousine. Then it drove off. I headed towards the airport and Cristina went down to a private helicopter waiting for her. It then took off.

A week later I arrived at the Creedmoor Cemetery. With that I got out of the limousine and went to my family's grave. I put a bunch of Red Roses on the large headstone.

As I stood there with the flowers I sensed someone and said, "For a spy aren't covert!"

Evan Looms, Director of the CIA Strategic Programs division, came from behind the tree and said, "I didn't want to disturb you."

"I take it the CIA wants him," I quickly told him.

"We have reasons to believe he is planning a prison break. And we can't operate in USA," replied Evan to me.

I chuckled and said, "And you're here to give me what you gave him."

Evan then said, "Full Immunity! And you would be considered a special operator."

"What about Icarus?" I quickly asked him.

"Discontinued as per your wish. Now we expect him gift wrapped and handed over to us." He quickly told me and walked off.

As he left I took off my sunglasses, stooped down and said, "Rebecca, I know you must be furious. I have never been here since you were buried. But I need to process it my way. And today I can say I got him. Earl and his overseas partners were all arrested.

He sang like canary and he pled guilty to ordering your death. So you can rest peaceful now. You would have been proud of me. I made the law take its course. And I have justice. Don't worry about me. Because I am happy. I loved you with my heart and now I found another you.

She is my ride or dies now. And I promised to never forget you. I love you and a part of me always will. Nothing will change that."

Then I laid the roses down on the headstone.

I kissed my index finger and touched the grave. Then I pulled her from around my neck and left it. I went back to the Limousine.

As I sat Cristina asked, "You OK?"

I looked at her in her white suit and said, "Sure! I am great. Now we have graduation and child on the way. Oh marriage is in a week."

She smiled and asked, "Where to?"

I then said, "I have unfinished business in Seattle. But you have an aunt in-law to go meet. So see you in the Bahamas."

She kissed me and I got out. Then the Limousine left. I went across the road to a private airport. A Learjet then took off with me. My father was on trial in Seattle, Washington.
