Chapter 6 – traitor

 

 

“Anna.”- I gasped. Anna’s eyes found mine as I loosened my hold of her.

 

“Hello, traitor.” – She said with a bitter look on her face.

 

“You know…”,she stood up not breaking eye contact, her eyes as cold as ever. She could make the devil blush.

“…when they hired me to eliminate you, I almost turned them down. You know how much I hate working with people.”

 

 

That’s true. If there’s anything she hates more than me, it’s working with other people. She even gave up a great life as a lawyer because of it and went full on Bonnie and Clyde with me a long time ago. That is, until I took the money and left her.

 

“However, when I found out that you’re the target, I gladly accepted the job. You didn’t expect a reunion, did you?”

 

“Who wants me dead now?”

 

A wide grin curved her pale lips as she picked up the knife and approached me. She swung the knife at me, I ducked, dodging the attack. The knife ripped through the thin fabric of my shirt and scratched the surface of my body before I punched her.

 

I fell on the ground, growling in pain. Anna took out her phone and the flash went off a couple of times.

 

“Smile for the camera.” – She continued to take pictures of me.

 

I smirked, took the knife out of the wound and threw it at her.

 

 

Jacob Kane

 

 

 

This can’t be true, Kate doesn’t kill. She’s been following the Batman rule ever since I became her sidekick. But, what if she snapped?

What if that’s why she’s been acting so weird lately? What if that’s what she’s been doing for a while now? What if she’s a killer?

 

 

I need to find out if she really killed Bellome Sinclair’s daughter. The only proof I have is the dagger and it might not even be the same one Sylvia was stabbed with. If I ask some of my friends at the autopsy, I can compare the stab wound to the dagger and solve the case.

 

 

I met up with Bellome, who wants me to investigate his daughter’s death. He believes it was murder and I didn’t deny. I couldn’t. If it turns out that Kate didn’t kill Sylvia, and I pray to God that she didn’t, I will try to make up with her.

 

And if she did…

I will tell Bellome the clues lead nowhere or something.

I know one thing, my daughter will not end up in a prison cell. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her.

-----------------------------------

Bellome agreed to meet me in his office, to talk to me about the case.

Because of our busy schedules we decided to meet up at night.

 

“ Colonel Kane. ”, he cleared his throat, “You are the best in the business, correct?”

 

“ Yes.”, I said.

 

“ I believe that you will find the killer and make sure he gets what he deserves.”, he looked at me as if he demanded the answers to a question he didn’t ask.

 

I nodded firmly.

 

“ I want you to update me whenever you find out something new, no matter how relevant it is to the case. You will tell me everything?” , Bellome Synclaire stood up from his desk like a king stands up from a throne.

 

“ I will.”

 

“ Even if it turns out the killer is your daughter?”

 

His eyes went dark as he got closer to me.

 

“ What?”, My voice came out deeper than I expected.

 

The reflection of a ninja behind me in the glass window appeared . I ran from the ninja and smashed Bellome’s head against the desk and punched him twice before I attacked the ninja.

 

The ninja dodged my attack, grabbed my arm and twisted it. The hollow pain in my back stopped me from defending myself. My bones felt like tree branches that are about to break.

 

The ninja planted his hand on my face, covering my mouth and nose.

 

 

I started feeling nauceous and soon ran out of breath, as I fell on the ground.
