Four swords of Katie Holmes Chapter 9 Diamond

guardiandoggLeave a comment

The little Shorty that worked for Lords of Delta set up the meeting at Big Al’s spot down town. Al was tribe so that put me somewhat at ease. I was still on edge. I had weird feeling about her and Joe as we drove over to the spot in Zadok’s van. It was a tight fit and she was damn near sitting on Joe’s lap and nobody said anything. It was normal.

I didn’t sense any danger from her anymore but I got a worse feeling. Fuck it. I would save it for later. We got to the bar and Ace got out first at the corner to meet three hulking dark brown brothers in grey suits. None of them looked like they came from the old northern country but they had the hulking bodies and sharp looks of Northmen. Dark eyes. Shark noses and direct dominant stares.. I studied them as we got out.

They were all related to the elder who looked in to his sixty’s but was in shape though his two Jr’s were two inches taller then him. He smiled when he saw Ace held out his hand to him. Ace took the measure of the elder and grasped his hand in a firm shake.

“Lord Ace Holmes. I am Andrew Von Delta. The men behind me are my grandsons and members of my firm. To my right. My partner Pete Don Delta and to my left an associate of the firm Vince Draco Delta. We have come here to offer you help in the business affairs of magical law of vengeance.” He said and let go of Ace’s hand.

Ace nodded and looked over to me. I stepped up. Ace nodded. “We are a little green in regard to magical laws and such from the old country. This is the region King’s lands after all so. We do have one important pressing question though.”

Andrew jerked his head to the right down the corner. His grandsons moved fast and damn near knocking Ace and I aside as they guarded their grandfather by instinct. Andrew held up hand. “Yeah. Could we speak inside Mr. Holmes in your tribe’s domain away from the public eyes.”

“Yeah. Of course.” Ace said reaching for the door. He grasped it and opened it.

The Deltas just looked at Ace. He frowned but led the way inside. The Deltas were the last ones inside. Andrew smiled again and was all charm as was his grandsons. It was all a mask though. It was their civilization masks.

“So you had an important pressing question, Lord Holmes.” Andrew said addressing Ace. “Please speak your mind.”

Ace nodded seeing the masks. “I have two questions now. One. Why did you send the girl that is my blood enemy to us? Two. What the hell are you guys? You sound like lawyers but you act and look like something else.”

Andrew laughed. “Well in regards to Miss Gannon. It was advised by one of the associates in the firm Miss Gannon would be necessary in representing the firm and she holds certain elements to strengthening your case. In regards to our appearances and behavior you will have to indulge our certain old school behaviors it is a genetic throwback to our ancestors former profession.”

“What profession was that?” Ace asked though I already had a guess.

Andrew smiled. “Counselors and champions of military negotiations and delegations.” He said smoothly.

Ace glanced at me getting the subtext of that bullshit. Joe looked confused but Heart looked alarmed but thankfully said nothing. So they were basically mercenaries in Brokes Brothers suits. That was the best fucking news I’ve heard all fucking day.

Vince moved turning to the door as someone came inside. I saw a grey Double H Pinned on his right breast suit jacket. The fuck? How the fuck did I miss that. Vince was staring at the man. His sibling put a hand to his shoulder that Vince shook off.

I took a stance beside Vince. The stranger frowned at us and tried to move past us. Vince snarled at him. “Get fuck on bitch. Negotiations are in processing you ain’t fooling nobody. We will inform your parties of our Lords wishes and opening statements. Until then no spying.”

“What we got, Vince.” Andrew asked coldly.

“A spy for the opposition, Mr. Delta. I saw the gentleman a few moments ago walking down the street away from the bar. Mr. Heart Holmes is this gentleman one of your people?”

“I don’t know this fucker. He ain’t a regular here either. Get the fuck on bitch.” Heart said with a edge to his voice. He was close to panicking.

The man still looked confused. “What the hell is this? What is wrong with you people. I just came here to get a drink before I head home.”

“Leave now bitch before you can’t.” I said as the man dropped his keys. He reached down to get them as he reached for something else under his jacket.

Vince was on him first grabbing his wrist and putting his thick forearm against the man’s throat. “Let it go. NOW!” He said and squeezed his wrist.

The man screamed and dropped a red wood stick on the floor. I frowned at it reaching for it.

“Don’t touch it, Mr. Holmes.” Vince said.

I straightened up away from it and then thought about what I was seeing. I looked slowly up at the man Vince was holding back.

“You don’t need these mutant freaks to champion you. We will give you your mothers killers all we want is the sword. Give it to us. Give it to-“

Vince head butted him and I blinked twice as I came out whatever the hell the bitch had done to me. The man looked at Vince in surprise. “You just broke the region King’s law article A_2 forcfully enchanting a contract. Now you can’t leave. I have witnesses to the fact. That’s death.” Vince said with purpose.

“Let him go brother Rider.” I told Vince.

Vince shoved the witch at the door before bending down picking up the stick and braking it with his hands. The witch stared wide eyed and then his face twisted in rage and he spat at Vince speaking some type of hissing language. Vince flipped him off. “Yeah. Fuck you too bitch. That shit don’t work on my kind. I’ll see you though.”

The man turned looking at me. He froze turned to run. I drew my piece and unloaded all of my magazine on his ass until he dropped down to the floor filled with arcane bullets. The witches body glowed from the bullet holes.

“Godsdammit Diamond. You fucking got blood all over my fucking floor. At least you could have taken the fucker outside first.” Big Al said.

I turned to Vince offering him my hand. We shook. “What year you pledged to the horsemen?” I asked him.

Vince smiled. “2002. How about you?”

I smiled. “2016. Thanks for taking our case.”

Warm regards

Zadok, Heart and I sat in the living room while Diamond and Joe watched the witch outside. What the hell was going on?

“Alright man. Level with me. Who are these Lords of Delta and why did you connect to them for us?”

Zadok sighed. “The situation with the people that killed Katie is difficult. They’ve already tried to use Zackary as intermediate tool he gave me the short end of the story before he took off.. It’s going to be complicated getting a hold of them in one place to settle it the old fashioned way. We need professional help for this.”

I held up a hand. “Why would it be complicated to get a hold of them and what the hell do a bunch of witches can do for us?”

Zadok shook his head. “The Lords of deltas aren’t witches. They’re negotiators in fairy and magical case laws. They’ve handled special cases like this for two centuries sense they got over here from the old country.. The complication is we’re dealing with powerful fairy and elven forces in play. This wasn’t just an attack on your mother it was a political move to take over your domain. If your mother didn’t have a will and magic wards on it they would have rushed in and ended it quick.. The problem is we have no idea which group did it. We need to find out which group to strike at so we don’t get into a fucking war with several alliance forces of fairy folk.”

“Zadok.” Heart said speaking up. “What the fuck domain do we have for them to take? Is it the businesses here, the properties? What are they after?”

Zadok sat forward. “Most of the business the tribe owns spill out throughout the city and outer farm lands and with Ace building the tribe’s interest real-estate in Florida. All of it is under the domain of you and your brothers protection but the power you have that’s what their after. It’s apart of your legazy. A legazy you’ve only just started to take hold of that they want.”

“If we have this power then we can take on the assholes who killed our mother and the people protecting them. We don’t need strangers to handle our business. Especially ones that hire our blood enemies.” I said.

Zadok stared at me. “Your willing to take on several nations of Orcs, fairies, elven and possibly Warlock humans with the possibility you might luck out and hit your target? Okay. Just remember you won’t be doing it alone. The whole fucking neighborhood will follow you into the shit. I just don’t think there’s enough of us to get the job done.”

“I’m not joking around.”

“Neither am I.” Zadok said holding up his hands. “Your in charge. I’m just making suggestions and offering help. The girl looks like a orphan mixed breed of your blood enemies. Blood feuds have to do with magical conflicts on sight.. It might be be a chance event they sent her or it might be something else.” Zadok said leaning back in his chair. “What do you want to do?”

I sat back and thought about it and looked at Heart. “I don’t believe in this kind of luck. What you think?”

Heart nodded. “I want to know who these assholes are and if their working both sides. I say we meet em. Diamond can sniff out the bull crap if they’re fucking with us. Who knows. If there on the up and up we could use em to sniff out who ordered the hit on Momma. Momma always said if your going to do something be intentional and focus on what your aimming at.”

I nodded remembering the saying. “I want the man or bitch that ordered the hit. If we can use the Lords of Delta to get it done I’m fine with that. Let’s head out.”

Warm regards

Momma’s gift was heating up against my chest Under my shirt as I approached the witch. I watched her body and I worked hard keeping my gaze on her chest and curvy body. She was starting to back up.

Oh no you don’t bitch. You ain’t going nowhere but a early grave.

“Come on shorty. Why you acting all skittish around me. You came here to discuss some business. Talk with me a bit. You got a card right. Show it to me. Let me see who your working for.” I said. I brought my gaze up to her face but avoided her direct gaze.

“I-I came here on good faith Mr. Holmes. I am an attorney for the Law offices of the Lords of Delta. I did nothing to your brother there is a perfectly reasonable reason for his reaction to me as well as yours. I understand he is under stress because of his mother’s passing. I apologize for not coming in a more formal prepared way.”

Lords of Delta. That’s a start. Tell me more bitch.

I nodded as I got closer. “Yeah. He’s still a lot shook up. It’s all a miss understanding babe girl. You have excuse my brothers. They’re all still a bit to heated right now. I believe you. Come on and tell me what your bosses are offering for our lands forget about my brothers reaction. I’m all ears for you shorty. Talk to me.” I said adding a little playfulness to my tone.

“I do not wish to die. Please allow me to leave. I will not trouble you or your family by my presence again.” She said in a voice that shook with held back fear. I realized something was keeping her in place. Good. I was close.

“I didn’t say anything about killing you. You really are reaching baby girl. Come on and tell me more about your bosses.” I said smoothly. I was close to grabbing her nice neck.

“The both of our blood relatives are in a magical blood fued with each other.. I apologize for appearing as I have but The Lords of Delta were called in for a consultantation by your elder.. I work for them. They wish to assist you in your quest for vengeance in a lawful way. If you not allow me to leave then I have no choice.” She said and then took off her shoes and got to her knees.

The strange vibe of magic in the air was cut off suddenly. My mother’s gift went cold against my chest but I didn’t trust it. “What did you just do?” I asked knowing she had done something to instantly change the dynamics in the situation.

“I submit to you Lord of the house of four swords. I beg your mercy and ask you spare my life. I hold no elegance to those that did harm to the lady of your house. I give my body in to your service.” She said in a shaky voice.

My hands itched to strangle this bitch of my enemies but I looked at Ace first. Ace was rubbing his chin. Diamond looked pissed but he shook his head reading my thoughts. Damn it.

Ace walked over and bent down. “You mentioned an Elder of mean told you to come here. Who is this elder?”

“Zadok. My Lord.” She said in a whisper.

“Damn it.” Ace said and got up and sent a glare at Zadok who stood on the porch of the house waiting.

At least now we knew why the elder was late showing up. We just needed to know now who were these Lords of Delta and what kind of help could they give us?

It was around 8:36 a.m. when the people around the neighborhood started to show up at the house bringing food and hanging around to do catch up with Ace and Diamond.

I needed space and stayed outside in the backyard smoking a cigarette. I wondered where Zadok was and why he hadn’t shown up yet.

Images of the night I saw the fuckers butcher my mother flashed before my eyes. I-I couldn’t breath.

My necklace started to heat up against my chest. I dropped the cigarette putting it out with my boot heel.

Something was wrong. I looked up and noticed two things a woman in a black suit at the gate staring at me with dark redwood eyes and a strange mist was coming up from the ground almost blocking her from my view. I started to think past the pain and images flashing in my head.

“Fucking witch.”

I drew my revolver from my gun holster aimming it down at my side. I couldn’t seem to lift my hand as I glared at her. I heard feet coming up behind me. Ace stood slightly in front of me cutting her off from my vision.

“Mr. Holmes. I am Nina Gannon. I-“

“Your a fucking dead bitch and whoever else is with you.” Ace said in a voice of cold steel.

“There is no need for such-“

Diamond laughed. It was a harsh sound made the bitch go silent. “You made this so much easier then I thought it would be. Keep talking. I want to know where your masters are so I can pay them a visit.”

“I ain’t listening to no bullshit from this bitch.” Ace said harshly.

“Let her talk.” Joe said calmly. “Go on Miss. You have a card right of business. Hand it to us. We’re open to hearing any offers you have. You came to speak to us. Please. Talk.” Joe said sounding to calm and reasonable I heard him moving closer.

Diamond laughed. Ace was quiet.

My head cleared and I felt blood coming from my nose. I felt someone put a cloth to my nose. I blinked and saw Stacy pale staring at me in fear.

“Heart. Get my woman in the house. Now.” Ace said harshly.

I turned Stacy away and headed to the house. I felt stronger the more distance I gained away from the witch. She was one of them. The fuckers that killed Momma. I was going to kill that bitch.

Fucking bitch may have caught me slipping this time but not anymore. As we neared the house I saw Zadok on the porch with the elders all staring behind us.

“Where were you?”

Zadok flinched at my tone. “I won’t disappoint you again. Come inside. It’s cold.”

Warm regards

I opened the envelope. There was a letter and the same sword/cross symbol inside attached to a string. I opened the letter.

Diamond, I love you. Don’t read this aloud. My words are for you.. I know you’ll do what have to protect them family your father and gave you. Keep focused and I’m proud of the man you’ve become and your independent business mind. We had some rough moments and disagreements but you never disappointed me. You are my son. You don’t know how proud I am your strength of will has encouraged me that….I didn’t fail in –

I folded the letter and put it away. The room was quiet as I put the necklace on. I looked up to my brothers. “Momma told me not to read it outloud. The letter is personal.”

Ace nodded and put on his own necklace. He turned to the others. Joe opened his staring at the letter a few seconds before putting it away and putting on his necklace.

Heart was hesitant. Ace walked over and opened it for him carefully getting out his necklace and handing it to him and the letter. “You can read yours when your ready.” Ace said.

Heart seemed to relax and put his necklace on. Ace picked up his letter to find it already open but no necklace inside. He opened the letter.

“Ace. If you reading this letter then Zackary fullfilled his duty before they got to him. I tried to live a simple life after your father your namesake died. I just wanted to keep the tribe together in the neighbor because that was what your father wanted. Family is everything. The shadows that took him from us have never stopped hastling me about the land or buying the legazy of your ancestors. They hated and were jealous of your father and the power he held. It is a power you will now have to take hold of and wield with wisdom and courage.. You know what to do.. Zadok will tell you the legend but my message to you and your brothers will be revealed to you when you hold this letter to the light.”

Ace lifted the letter to the ceiling light.

We crowded in close.

You are strong and courageous. You will prevail and conquer your domain.

I smiled. “Damn straight Momma. For sure.”

Warm regards

I woke up at the sound of knocking at the front door. I sprang to my feet out of Momma’s chair with my glock in my hand.

Stacy stared at me from the hair facing me. I heard a phone ring on the couch as I went to the door. Heart was up on his phone. “Yeah. What? Okay. Alright. Hold on. Ace. Mr. Zackary is at the door. Let him in. Put your gun away man.”

Fuck that. I went to the door and opened it half way. One look at the lawyer’s roughed up face and bleeding lip let me know this was serious.

I let him and closed the door locking it. He walked into the living room with his suit case. He waved Heart down. “Sit down son. We got a lot to through and I got to get moving. Your brothers are all here?”

Heart sighed but nodded. “Yeah. Was it the people that-“

“Yes. I need speak to all of you. Now.”

“Diamond. Joe. Get the fuck down here.” I yelled.

I heard feet running down the stairs and then Diamond and Joe stood in the living room in their sweets and T-shirts. Diamond looked at Mr. Zackary and his lip turned up.

Mr. Zackary got out the papers putting them on the table. “You going to need to get yourself lawyer to handle your estate and one you can trust. I can’t handle your business without dishonored myself and profession. The house is yours as is the business she left you letters and instructions in case something like this happened. You’ll approuched soon. For offers for businesses and real-estate she owns. Talk to your lawyer first and do not sign anything without a lawyer seeing it. If you receive a call from me again to meet you somewhere do not accept the call and do not go. It will be a dangerous time right now for all of you so stay close and protect each other. Zadok was your mother’s best friend. You can trust him but I don’t know about anyone else. Be carefull from now on. Their watching you. Any questions?”

“You need a cigarette?” I asked him.

Mr. Zackary smiled and nodded. I got one out handing it to him and lit the end for him. He took a drag and blew oht smoke. He looked at Stacy and then saw the ring. “Your Stacy Meadows an attorney for Blackwater & Gamble. The firm that handles Mr. Holmes real-estate businesses in Florida, correct?”

Stacy stared at him. “How do you know me?”

He shook his head. “It was my job to know. Your late mother-law informed me it would be fine to disclose family information with you in the room. She liked you.” He said and turned back to me and held out his hand. I took it. “Take care of your family.” He said slipping something into my hand.

“I will. Thank you.”

Mr. Zackary let go of my hand turned and left the room and then went out the front door. Diamond went to lock the door.

“What did he-shit.” Diamond said staring at the silver glowing item in my hand. It was a figure of a sword and cross what did it mean? I looked at the four envelopes on the table. Each with our names on them. I picked up Diamond’s and handed to him. “Open it. I think you have one too.”

Warm regards

I got into Hylands late in the afternoon after catching an early flight on over from Vagas. I still couldn’t believe it. Damn it. Momma was gone but I knew there was more to the story Heart hadn’t told me because he knew what my reactions would be. I knew then that Heart needed help bad.

I was still surprised though when Heart and Joe met me at the airport. Heart’s eyes were blood red and he was dressed in a blue suit he looked like he had on for days now. Joe. Joe had lost eyes and was quiet as I walked up. I took him in a hug. He snapped out of it and tried to push me away but I held onto him.

“I missed you bro. You should have come out to Vagas for some sun and fun.” I said.

Joe hugged me back. “I’m sorry. I-I got distracted and Momma needed me to work the shop at night. I should have worked it the the night-“

“It wasn’t your fault.” Heart said quickly. He looked at me. I knew what happened and I was raging hell until I found out who did it. “I’ll tell you everything when Ace gets here. He’ll be here tonight or early tomorrow at the latest but not here.”

I nodded. There was time. I picked up my over night bag and hugged Joe’s shoulder leading him around. “Let’s go home. I’ll cook you two something up ya’aw looking to skinny and hungry. Momma would have my ass if I didn’t care of my little brothers.”

Heart smiled in thanks. He looked like shit and was fighting to keep it together. I wonder if he was fighting someone else in this mix. “So. Where’s your girl?”

‘Fucking bitch.” Joe snarled out.

I looked at Heart. “She run out on you?’

Heart opened his mouth and then then closed it. He grimanced. “Daisy said, what happened shook her up so she’s visiting her parents in Florida for a few weeks.”

“So she left you.” I said.

“Yeah. It’s over.” Heart said and then shrugged. “It is what it is. I can’t be concerned with her right now. We got to much shit to deal with. We got a meeting with the lawyer tomorrow. I’m going to make sure everything slight down the middle and we’ll decide what to do about everything else.” He said looking around and appeared on edge.

Damn it. What fuck was I thinking? Whoever took out Momma was out there. We had to get by ourselves and wait for Ace until we could move. But, I needed to get my hands on some swords and guns.

“Alright. Let’s get some quiet and go over some shit.” I said leading the way outside.

Warm regards

I woke up to the sound of my phone going off on the otherside of the hotel bed I was sleeping in. Someone moved in the bed. I heard them pick it up and move around my waist to hand it to me.

I looked at the tiny ruby ring on the hand and inhaled her scent. Stacy. Damn. Why did I give her Momma’s ring. I had been real drunk last night.

I took the phone and looked at the caller ID Heart. Damn it’s been more then a minute sense I heard from him. I answered it and put the phone to my ear.

“Yo. What’s happening Bro? How you doing Fam?”

Silence greeted my answer. Ah. Shit. “What happened?”

“Momma’s dead. I need you to come down to Hylands. There’s a lot to do. Joe is taking it bad and I still got to call Diamond. I don’t even know if-“

“I’ll be there in a couple of hours. I have to drive but I’ll be there by tonight or early tomorrow morning. Anything you need handling I got you.”

Heart sighed. “Thanks Bro. I really need you as quick as possible.”

I heard it in his voice. “How Momma die?”

Stacy froze in the bed and then got up probably to leave. I would have to get the ring from her before I left. Heart was quiet on the line.

“They….they blasted her all over her fucking shop. There wasn’t much left just blood and bones and the mage medic unit confirmed it was her by DNA tracing. They blocked the whole shop off until they’ve cleared it of curses. The whole neighborhood is shocked but that won’t last long. The local guards say their looking into it but it’s BS. Joe is still in shock but that will ease quick enough and you know how Diamond will react when he hears about it. I have to talk to the lawyer about the house and all the other business shit.”

Holy shit. Katie Holmes. My Katie Holmes. Some fucker did that shit to her. I had to get moving fast. I got up out of bed naked looking for my clothes. Stacy was moving about getting dressed and through me my pants while she dressed.

“Alright. Listen. Just hold tight. Ah. Tell Diamond. Shit. Tell him the general facts. Don’t present it like you told me. Just tell him to get his ass down to Hylands. When we’re all together then you can lay it out when you’ve had some time to process it. Don’t push yourself or let nobody push you.. Keep Joe close and handle as much as you can until I get down.”

“Okay. Okay. We’ll be at the house the key will be in the usual place if we’re asleep when you get here.”

“Alright, bro. Don’t worry I’m coming. Love you. Bye.” I said and hung up on him. Holy shit I had to move fast. I started putting on my dress shirt and pulling on my pants as I looked for Stacy. “Stacy. Baby. I’m going to need the ring back.”

Stacy came in the room dressed in her suit. “No. I’m coming with you. I can be some help in helping the family handle the legal issues and read out the will and such.”

I frowned at her. “My Momma had a family lawyer for that. Guy Zackary. Straight up from what my Momma told me.”

Stacy frowned at me. “Have you ever met the man? Do you trust him?”

Shit.

Stacy nodded. “I’m coming with you.”

The full story

2ND PROLOGUE


20 years ago
Hank and Marth Smith named the child John Smith and raised him up in the ways of Edo and practical living. Hank taught him pugilism and how to wield his mother’s knife and fire arms and the code of self defense. Martha taught him the lessons of Edo and the value of life and protection of the innocence. She bought him his first pairs of tinted glasses when they surmised early on that John’s eyes were weakest during sunlight hours.

On John’s 17th year he went out into the city to find work and make a name for himself as a man.

His prospects weren’t great from the onset because of his strange eyes and elvish appearance lanky body and quiet foot steps put people off and comsently got him into trouble to the point he could only make his living as at night as a pick pocket and night burglar.

He had a bet going with the other young thieves of the neighborhood that he could steal from the house of a Oricle her priced possession and not get caught.

John was a foolish young man thought oricles and seeing the future was horseshit so he bit right into the bet.

It was on his third house in the low district of Dove row that hit his abrupt pause in his thieving career.

It was late in to midnight when he stole his way into the house through a open window on the second floor.

John was a excellent climber and light on his feet as any young rogue of his profession. The house was clean and quiet. No signs of life inside only books and a few furniture items placed around the house.

Young John frowned at the filled book shelves easily reading the titles in the dark rooms. He had always had sharp eyes in the night but counter nearly blind vision in the daylight hours.

He searched the house looking for treasure or bank notes to steal and payment for his efforts. He found none. Only books and strange items he saw no value in.

He searched the downstairs ground floor up and down finding only a few bank notes on the kitchen table. He snagged two apples from the cobers for his trouble and a nice pair of jade tinted glasses set on a book about the tales of Styx Amoore. He read through the book and set it down only to pick up and headed for the back exit in the kitchen.

He saw a lady dressed in a white night gown sitting on the upper stairs smoking a thin cigar waiting for him.

John was more then a little shook by her appearance and direct stare at him. He dropped the book and held up his ebony dagger. “Don’t come any closer witch.”

The Oricle laughed softly. “I’m no witch sonny. I’m the owner of this house you came a thieving into. They call you John Smith. But that’s not your name.”

The Chroniclers notes

The story

June 8th, 1865
The 2nd Age, Edo’s Dawn

I am Calvin Skylark senior estate manager and family lawyer of the house of Shade. My story is a minor footnote in the events I am about to transcribe for the benefit of future generations of the house of Shade. The life, times, successes and failures of the patrach of the house of Shade.

The first words are the hardest to describe such a one as Lord Styx S. Shade. He is a man of different shades…..

A short introduction but a powerful one. I like this and it’s my first true attempt at Urban Fantasy.

Warm regards
