Part 11
Chapter 33
[Shiro]
This is quite exciting. I have to travel half way across the world, to protect a girl, who's DNA is the key to the world's most dangerous missiles and I have to travel with a skilled crew. Things are certainly interesting.
'Shiro–kun.' Mei called out to me from the bed in the cabin.
'Drop the "kun" would you. What is it?' I asked softly.
'Why are you and Kazuto not on good terms with each other?'
We are under threat and all she thinks about is me and Kazuto and not her own survival? Arg. This girl is something else.
'He once killed an agent from the CIA who was investigating the AOA through me.'
'Whats so wrong about that? He protected you didn't he?'
'I loved her. The agent. And that's beside the point. Overtime I realised that he protected the AOA and me, but at what cost? His life, his freedom. I saw him get killed. Five bullets to the chest.'
'Stop being selfish. He's here isn't he? He's still protecting you.'
'YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HURT I WAS THAT HE DIED! AND NOW HE'S BACK RIGHT AFTER I'VE ALREADY BURIED THE FACT THAT MY BEST FRIEND IS DEAD!' She got off the bed and hugged me. The lights flickered and the room felt like it wasn't there. Her hug, scent, boobs and her hand caressing my hair. They all calmed me down.
'Talk to him and make peace. Accept him back into your life. I can see the hurt in his eyes that you can't accept him as your friend again. Please. Talk to him, for me.'
'Since when are you so wise?' I chuckled.
'Since I became a hunted animal.' She giggled.
'I'll do it. But not for you, just for old times sake.'
She smiled and went to sit on the bed again.
Chapter 34
[Captains Quarters]
General Kamine was in the captain's quarters listening to Mozart's symphonies, steering the ship while humming along, a Cuban cigar in his mouth and a Jack Daniels old number 7 Tennessee whiskey bottle in his right hand. He stopped humming when he heard footsteps approaching. Candice, Merylin and Kazuto pushed the door open and entered. Kamine moved away from the steering wheel, put his bottle down and stopped the record.
'Mozart is a mood isn't it?' Candice said as she entered.
'It most certainly is. How may I be of service?'
'We just wanted to ask how long it will take for us to reach France.' Kazuto asked.
'About two hours or so. I'm taking a faster route that goes along the lines of the AOA's Japan ship trading route to France.'
'Why take that route? I mean you could use the South Chinese trading route. Isn't the AOA a prime suspect when it comes to Mei's hunt?' Merylin's question made everyone quiet and a bad atmosphere started rising.
'I opted for this route to be used. I want to see who else in the AOA is behind all of this. There is no way Chizuro can be alone on this and our recent attacks are either mercenaries or assassins from the AOA. So I want to root out the mole.' Candice said looking at Merylin. She gave her a look that warned her, and it clearly said "are you trying to get everyone to be suspicious about us?"
'Im sorry, it was just a question.' Merylin said with a straight face, looking at Candice. She clearly had already read the look she was given.
'I'll go check on the two in the cabin.' Kazuto left the room and headed toward Shiro and Mei.
