Chapter 26

Beau was smiling as he directed Homeworld agents to put up posters of Jessica in uniform and erotic poses in lock up. Martin and Ethan were in the room. Ryu sat on his bonk keeping a watchful eye on Ethan who had Beau’s special made pistol in his gun belt.

“Why are you here Ryu?” Beau asked him.

Ryu was focused on Ethan. “I got bored with the military so I talked my way out. I was recruited by Ethan a year ago.”

“Hmm. You sure about that?” Beau asked. “Can you even remember what led to this boredom?” Beau asked.

There was an explosion outside. Martin checked his phone. “Shit. Beau it’s happening. They’ve taken her.”

“Taken her?! Who the fuck is her?” Ryu demanded.

Beau nodded to Martin. “You better take Ethan with you. I’ll be fine.”

Martin looked at Ethan. “Stay here. I’m going to get her back.” He said and quickly hurried out the room.

“Who the fuck has been taken tell me?” Ryu demanded raising to his feet.

Beau held up a finger shaking it lightly. “You know who has been taken and why. Hmm. Do you really think they just let you go simple because you used your little trick on them to get out? They had their reason you know for letting you go.”

“Let me out of here.” Ryu said in his special voice.

Neither Ethan or Beau moved to comply. Ryu stared at them. “How are you able to do resist me?”

“The door is open. You can step out any time.” Beau said. “Of course you won’t be going nowhere but a grave afterward. You got to understand. They didn’t let you go. Your the distraction. Jessica is the one they were after the whole time.”

“I could say the same thing about you.” Ryu pushed. “They didn’t just let you go. I’m stronger then you and I’ll only get-“

“I don’t give a fuck.” Beau said. “You maybe a strong young bad ass but all the same Ethan beat you and he’s a lot younger then you. Everyone has a peak and Ethan doesn’t need a party trick to lead. Me. I’m just cripple old man in a wheelchair. Your the enemy of our kind.”

Ryu narrowed his eyes on Beau. “Your reaching. I only do what I need to do to survive. I didn’t make Jess do anything she didn’t first want to do. Let me out of this cage. They won’t be strong enough to get her back without my help.”

Beau smiled at him. “What makes you believe I’m the one holding you in here?”

“You’ve fooled all of them good old man but not me. Your too damn powerful for your own good but I’m still the stronger.”

“Touch my family and you die.” Ethan said softly. “Why did you come here?”

Ryu smiled. “You got me that first go but-“

A spinning shield of metal appeared in front of Ethan as Ryu punched blue and red flames at Ethan.

The shield took on the fire channeling it into a warm hole inside the shield. Ryu cut off his attack and looked Beau.

Beau snapped his fingers and the device fell away returning to spare pieces of parts on the floor. He looked at Ethan who stood unsurprised. Ethan’s gaze was still focused on Ryu.

“Isn’t my power working on you?” Ryu asked.

Beau shrugged. “It is working on me. Ethan is the exception. He has some edge over you. In any case. If you want to get out of the cage alive to help rescue Jessica. You know what you have to do and who you have to give it to.”

“I’m not giving you a blow job.” Ryu said calmly.

Beau grinned. “I’m not looking from one at least not from you.. I’m not in charge here.” He said and nodded to Ethan.

Ryu glanced at him. “What you want Ethan?”

Ethan shook his head. “Nothing. My father and I will get back my sister back. I’m kicking you out. You can go be someone else’s problem.”

“Why did you suggest me joining up then? You suggested it because I’m a fucking bad ass power house.”

Ethan shrugged. “Yeah but you keep fucking around swinging your dick around like you own this place and the people here. Your ego is unwarranted. The problem isn’t that you want my sister. The problem is you think you can fuck with her mind and emotions and think I won’t kill you for it. We ain’t friends and I don’t like you at all. I will and I can kill you if need be. Nothing you say or do will change it. No one fucks with my family or my people. I would die for every last one of them. You should just leave Homeworld and go be a fucking king over some people willing to put up with your shit. I ain’t the one. I have never found you charming or likeable just useful. I tolerate you. I don’t like you.”

Ryu stared at him. “Damn. Well damn. Fuck me running. Alright. Boss. Please allow me to join the rescue mission. Please.” He said.

Ethan waved him up. “Let’s go asshole.”
