I didn't really have a plan going into everything but I didn't care. I just knew I would have to get to Kylo immediately. So, what did I do? I grabbed the keys to the stolen cop car and hopped in kicking the pedal as hard as I could while turning on the radio.
"Breaking news, there is a terrorist attack taking place right now in Downtown. The mayor's speech is now the last thing on everyone's mind as citizens are being threatened by a bomb. The police have confirmed the bomb is real and is a serious " I heard a woman say through the speakers.
Damn it, hearing all that made me kick the pedal down even harder, breaking even more speed limits, which in turn led to me breaking even more laws. But now I didnt even care. It's not like it mattered, my badge had already been stained. Nothing could change that. So, I just shoved all those thoughts away and kept going faster, and faster and faster. It was to the point where I was basically denying the existence of speed limits. And I continued to do so until I finally made it to my destination.
Downtown, it was supposed to be all nice and organized today for the big speech but instead people were screaming, cops were spread around hiding, and everything just looked chaotic. The mayor was even being kept hostage, he was tied up in the middle of everything being forced to lay down right next to the huge bomb. Where was Kylo in all this? He was standing right in front of the mayor sticking his hand out high showing the trigger to the bomb.
"You all know what I want, money. So, give me everything you have or else" Kylo yelled, almost pushing the trigger.
I made sure to get up closer to try and analyze everything a bit better when suddenly I saw Kylo pointing his gun to the mayor's head! He was actually about to pull the trigger but I quickly ran over just meters away from him causing his attention to shift. "Hey, you don't have to kill the mayor!" I yelled.
"Well well, you finally showing your true colors, officer Scott?" Kylo asked.
I looked at him confusingly but he just chuckled.
"Ya, I knew. Of course I did. I just didn't care, because I knew no matter what, you werent gonna stop me. Just like you aren't gonna stop me right now, let's be honest Scott. There's nothing you can do, there are a dozen cops standing around this place who have all come to that realization already. Wanna know why? It's because the fact of the matter is you know I will use this bomb if necessary, and if I do that. You're all screwed!" Kylo screamed as he pointed his gun back towards the mayor.
"Kylo, don't do it!" I worryingly yelled. "Fine, I won't. It's not like I would just randomly kill an innocent person" Kylo said, smiling.
"I would," an all too familiar voice said.
BOOM! Those words were followed by a gunshot, just a single one. And before I knew it, Kylo was lying on the ground right next to his own bomb.
"Finally, I was getting sick of him anyways" I heard the same voice say.
"Mike?!".
"Yep, in the flesh".
"What are you doing here? Why did you kill Kylo?" I asked.
"Oh please, Kylo had it coming. He deserved it, I think even you agree with me on that right?".
Well, that caught me off guard, I didn't know how to answer his question. Ever since Graham told me it was Kylo who killed Liam, well yes I hated him. But now Liam was alive anyways, and I knew that didn't change the fact that Kylo was a scumbag. But he didn't deserve to die, right?
"Whether or not Kylo deserved it isn't important, why did you kill him? I thought you were loyal to him".
"Oh just save it, you think I would be loyal to him? The only reason I helped him is because I wanted the bomb, and now I finally got it".
"Put your hands up!" an officer yelled from behind.
Mike laughed, and he actually did put his hands up. But when he did, he revealed something. There were mechanical parts all around him, pieces of metal and wires lined up across his body.
"You like it?" he asked.
"What is it?!" I yelled.
"Oh you know, triggers to the bomb. All around me, shoot me officers I dare you. Just remember, if you do it your city is done!" he screamed.
"Why are you doing this? I get Kylo wanted money but you made it pretty damn clear you and him didn't have the same drive. So what do you even gain?" I asked.
"Kylo killed my own brother! And what did the cops do about that? Kylo killed my brother four years ago and he is only paying for that now. After all this time, where were the cops then? They didn't care, the people of this city didn't care!" Mike shouted.
I let go of my gun, I didn't know that was Mike's motive.
"So he was the one in the photo huh" I questioned.
Mike looked like he was gonna pull the trigger as he heard those words.
"Listen, what happened to your brother was messed up. But the people of this city don't deserve to pay for that".
"They will pay for it!" Mike exclaimed.
It was clear at this point, Mike wasn't stable. The guy was a sociopath, he wasn't gonna listen to anything I said. Even the cops knew that by now, the only problem was they couldn't shoot. That meant all I could do was try to take care of Mike with my bare hands.
"You know what, you've been a real nuisance lately. Maybe it's time to deal with you now" Mike screamed. I immediately put my hand in my back pocket, waiting for the perfect moment. And the perfect moment came sooner than I thought. Mike aimed his gun straight towards me, he was about to pull the trigger but in a split second I pulled out my pistol and fired at his hand. BOOM! Perfect shot, the bullet hit his hand knocking the gun meters away from him.
I then put my gun away and upon doing so, ran towards him charging him head on. Mike reacted quickly doing the same thing, and this meant a fight had started. Right when I got close to Mike he began throwing fast punches.
I was able to dodge a few but soon enough he caught me with a clean hook rocking me hard. This normally wouldn't be a problem but with Mike it was. The reason for that was because Mike was a pretty big dude, he was literally towering above me as we violently exchanged shots.
"You're dead!" Mike yelled.
He then came up to me and swung his fist connecting it with my stomach. It felt bad, I was coughing out blood with every breath I took. But Mike? He was totally fine, and he took advantage of that. He grabbed me by my collar and lifted me off the ground bringing me up even higher than himself. He then grabbed my neck, and from there it didn't go well.
He instantaneously began choking me with his massive hands! Just the pressure caused my eyes to water, my heart to race, and my body to quiver. I honestly thought Mike would try to kill me right there but no, he let go of my throat and used the force of both his arms to throw me back. And believe me when I say this, I went flying. I wasn't even exaggerating. It was that bad, and it made me realize something.
I couldn't take Mike on my own, there was just no way.
"Had enough rookie?".
"Not even close!" I screamed.
I forced myself back up on my feet, and began charging Mike again. But he didn't seem bothered by that, he just continued blocking all my shots with ease. He hadn't even broken a sweat, and I was here dying from the heat while spitting out blood. Seeing this, some cops tried to come and help me but Mike stopped them.
"No, I'm only gonna fight him. If any of you interfere, I use the trigger. Simple as that" he said.
"Wanna shut your mouth already Mike?" I heard another familiar voice say.
"Your back, Liam!" I yelled.
He smiled and tackled Mike from behind, grabbing the trigger to the bomb, making sure to throw it far away. I saw this as nothing but an opportunity and made sure to take it. I quickly ran over towards Mike and just began throwing whatever I could. He finally reacted about thirty seconds later by grabbing my leg, tripping me. I thought at this point I was definitely screwed but I had forgotten Liam had finally come.
Liam turned around kicking Mike hard, Mike got pushed back from the blow and he was forced to let me go. Once I was free, I followed Liam to go after Mike, Liam was able to get a good hit on Mike causing him to get pushed back. Unfortunately Liam got tagged with an uppercut sending him back, still I already knew Mike had been wobbled. So, I ran over to Mike and got a perfect punch in, this caused Mike to lean back on one foot.
Liam wasted no time getting up and joining the action again. Once he did that, it was all over for Mike. there was nothing he could do. Liam and I were dominating at this point, he was being mauled. The fight was done, we double teamed him.
"Damn you!" Mike yelled.
"Alright Scott, I'm gonna go disarm the bomb, I finally figured out how to do it" Liam told me. I nodded and ran over with him towards the bomb.
"What do we have to do?" I asked.
"It's simple, I'm gonna pull out the power supply, and once I do that it will all be fine. Just stand back" he replied.
"If you pull out the power supply, you're gonna die! You know that right!" Mike yelled.
Wait? Liam didn't say anything about that.
"Liam?" I asked.
He glanced at me with a heavy gaze, and leaned down towards the power supply. He was about to put his hand in but he was immediately forced to eat a right hand. My right hand.
"What the heck are you doing!" he yelled.
"What am I doing? What are you doing?".
"Listen, I don't care if I die. I just have to stop the bomb. If we don't disarm it now, no one will be safe. Besides, Mike still has triggers to it".
"Liam, I'm not gonna let you die. No matter what, I can't let you do that".
"Get outta my way Scott!".
"No, I can't do that either".
