Abomination Contract Loving The Enemy

I follow right behind Asher, my mind a turmoil as thankfully my body moves on its own and I don't get lose him, but still, why now, and how?

A part of me does hunger of his flesh, for ripping him open and crushing him into a pie, but the other… the other purrs for his flesh in other ways that not involve his death.

And my mind goes back and forth on that, like a clock pendulum, tick and tock tick and tock what could I do? What should I do?

"Seiji, pay attention."

I'm caught off guard when Asher calls me, and I realized that we have been standing at the entrance of the headquarters for a while as he turned around to stare back at me.

"…Yeah?"

"Stay focused, I need you sharp and alert today ok? I have a bad feeling about this…"

If only he knew that I was just thinking of opening his chest up and dragging his body to the woods to enjoy, I bet he would not be this friendly.

I wonder how he will react when he knows, will he still trust me? I bet not, he may order me around at any given change just to keep it safe.

It would be a nightmare, having all my steps monitored like that, I cannot have that..

But still… still I follow behind, not wanting to finish things like this, right now, this sudden, and blinking the thoughts away I try to keep my mind focus on the play at hand.

We have to pass by a lot of doors, halls and security to get to the Colonel even though he is the one that called for us, but at least Asher seems used to all of this as unfazed advances through every security check, getting disarmed without even batting an eye.

The further we go in, the higher the ceilings get, and the fancier the furniture turns out, until we finally reach the front desk of his secretary.

"Mister Murray, Colonel Bittencourt has been waiting for you two, please feel free to go in." Says the secretary without even truly looking at us, too occupied with typing on the keyboard.

But I guess, as we walk at the now empty hallways, that even the cold captain could not stay unfazed by the succession of events that unfold one after another before us after we open those doors.

And gaze at the vision that greets us as we get inside.

"Hi! You two are finally here! And here I was thinking you two would be impolite and ignore such important invitation…but nah, you were just impolite enough to be late, ha!" I did not miss this full of sarcasm recognizable voice not in the least, and even less the always chewing motion he had all the time with his mint leaf.

The prick that I wished I had the pleasure of never seeing again is seating at the table right at the center of the room, legs crossed and a smirk plastered on his face.

I quickly scan our surroundings, the high ceiling with two floors setting, with bookshelves visible over the railing, a huge window covering the wall on the side and overlooking the city, and yet the place is not bright at all, having just some ambiance blue light coming from a huge aquarium at the back of the table that Sean, the prick, is sitting at.

If his presence isn't enough to raise my guard, the oddity does not end there as I try to look behind him where the back of the chair is turned to see the Colonel, only that he is facing the opposite side, not visible to the eye yet.

Only that… my nose picks something my mind doesn't far quicker, and the time it takes for me to assimilate things through is enough for Sean the prick to keep his little play.

"Agent Cole, is been a while."

"Ashy Ashy, why are you being this formal now? I thought we were closer than this after all we have been through, you know, fighting together, you threatening my life, this sort of thing…"

He- what did he hand in mind, talking about that in the open like this, and right in front of the Colonel of all things! 

Asher seems to think the same as he narrows his eyes at Sean.

"What are you up to now Sean?"

"Oh, first name bases now Ashy? How about it Seiji, you can call me Sean too." He is being so over-friendly that is creepy, and something tells me this is a very, very bad sign.

"Seems like you are tired of living." I say at him, growling, making Asher uncomfortably look over the chair, probably dreading that the Colonel will say about this, especially with me displaying my oddity so out in the open.

But I'm not scared of whatever the Colonel can do to us at all, I'm more worried about what this crazy bastard has in mind.

"I should have killed you when I had the chance."

He gives a full teeth crazy smile at that, eyes glimmering, shaping like a crescent moon, as he looks down at us.

"Yes… you should have."

"Never too late to change that." He laughs out loud, and my lack of consideration towards the Colonel starts to draw Asher's attention.

"Aah… I beg to differ, it may be too late… well, for some sort of things that is…" Sean says, and there is a lasting moment, a second that takes an eternity to end, where we only stare each other out, that cocky smile still plastered on his face.

That's when chaos erupts.

Because that' when I advance to hit him in that smug face of his and, as he dodges back and takes his gun out, he knocks the chair that was turned back towards us to the floor, revealing the person that was once hidden by him, a big strong man with black hair, wrinkled older face, and a well trimmed beard.

However such strong looking man simply hits the floor, limp as a body as death has yet to freeze him into the empty shell that he now is. 

Yes… he is dead, but I've known by the smell of blood that, since we entered this place, the Colonel was lifeless.

And I can guess what crazy bastard did this… but I could not guess his intentions… until he screams:

"Call the guards! Security! The Colonel is dead! Murray! Captain Murray just killed him!"

Well, it sucks, that what I call a vengeful crazy bastard.
