Mal's POV
As we made our way outta the Town Hall, the rain was pouring as fast as my mind was racing. It was all coming together and I had to expose those seedy sons of bitches for what they really were. The only problem was; I had no idea how to do it. But I knew someone who did; Charlie Anders.
Walking into Charlie's office, the place was trashed. And there he was, lying still on the floor. I didn't have to think about it; just by looking at the place I could tell this was the work of Oscar's boy as I when to check his pulse.
Mal:" Charlie! Charlie!"
Natara:" Is he?"
Mal:" Dammit! We're too late!"
Natara:" Oscar's men did this, didn't they?"
Mal:" It's possible, musta found out that he was close to exposing their scandal, so they rubbed him out to cover their tracks."
Natara:" So what now?"
Mal:" Come on, let's get outta here."
2:30pm. Montgomery Street. And just like Charlie's office, my place was also cleaned out. I knew it was only a matter of time before Oscar's boys tried to drop us. They'd been here once, they'd come back again and if they did; we'd be done for.
Mal:" Come on. Come on! It's gotta be here somewhere"
Natara:" What are you looking for?"
Mal:" I need the evidence against Oscar, I gotta to get that file and you; somewhere safe."
Natara:" Detective… Thank you. I never thought I'd ever escape this life that is of course, until I met you Detective."
Mal:" If you don't mind my asking; how did a girl like you end up with a creep like Oscar anyhow?"
Natara:" I always wanted to travel; see all the beautiful things in this world. When I came to San Francisco it was first big city I'd ever seen and I loved it here. When I met Oscar he was sweet and kind; the perfect gentleman. But as time when on, I realized he wasn't who I thought he was or at least who he'd pretended to be. And by that time I was already in too deep to leave, I knew too much to just walk out on him. So thank you for everything."
Mal:" Heh, listen we should probably get going, I'll take you to my sister's house you'll be safe there."
Even after everything that was going on; all I could think about was getting Natara to safety. But things just went belly up as we left my apartment to see, Oscar and two of his boys stood waiting for us.
Oscar:" Well well well, look what we have here. I hear you been in cahoots with my girl. Now that won't do at all. You see I don't like it when someone as much as looks at her, it's rude, uncivil. Seems my boys had better teach you some manners."
Mal:" You wanna talk about manners? Doing the right thing huh Santos? How bout' screwing over the people of this city, for the sake of some pennies from heaven."
Galloway:" Watch your tongue when you're talking to the boss wise guy; or I'll cut it out!"
Oscar:" Galloway! Enough!"
Oscar slowly walks towards me; gun in his hand. I watch with boiling anger as the jerk runs his hand across Natara's cheek; much to her disgust as she tries to turn away.
Oscar:" She's a pretty little thing isn't she? Be a shame to waste a bullet, but I figure if she disappears so do a lot of my problems. But the way I see it, I get rid of you Detective and that evidence never sees the light of day."
Smirking at me, Oscar slowly turns and walks away.
Oscar:" Galloway, Let him have it!"
Santo's goon pulls a gun on me and before I can move; Natara shouts as she runs towards Oscar.
Natara:" No! Oscar please I'm begging you! Please don't hurt him!"
Oscar:" Natara baby please. If I let this gumshoe go, he'll ruin me. Beside he's just low-life flatfoot, the hell do you care?"
She looks at me with those dazzling brown eyes as tears slowly fall down her face then glances back up at Santos.
Natara:" I love him."
Oscar:" I see."
Without warning, that scumbag grabs Natara violently by her hair as she shouts out in pain, and not being able to help her, kills me.
Oscar:" So was this your plan all along huh you little tramp! You think you can just play me like this?! Sell me out?! You made me believe that you loved me!"
Natara:" Get your paws off of me!"
Oscar:" Oh I don't think so, you can stand here and watch him suffer!"
I barely have time to react as Oscar's goon slugs me in the face and the hits keep on coming until Santos calls him off, and leaves me bleeding out onto the sidewalk, as he pulls Natara away and disappears down the road. I lie there, beaten and bruised. As I stumble to my feet, I slowly make my way to the only people I know I can trust.
Mal:" Okay fellas, here's the plan. Jeremy you find your way into The Loop without being noticed and get that damn file back."
Jeremy:" Sure thing."
Mal:" Kai you-"
I'm suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door. As Kai walks over to let in his guest.
Amy:" Hello boys, my god Detective what happened to you?!"
Mal:" Amy what are you doing here?"
Amy:" Oh so I guess you don't this file, I found in the Mayor Office?"
Jeremy:" What file?"
Amy:" Well after I gave Kai another chance; during dinner he hold me what you were doing, Detective. And I wanted to help. Here, that's the Mayor's personal financial file, showing his share of the money from Oscar's deals. It's enough to prove he's taking bribes."
Mal:" Well son of a gun! Amy you little star!"
Amy:" Heh It's nothing, look I gotta go. But you boys be careful. If you need anything else just call."
Amy leaves almost as fast as she arrived as she closes the door behind her.
Kai:" Geez what a dame, she something ain't she?"
Jeremy:" Kai, focus!"
Kai:" Huh?"
Mal:" Alright fellas listen up, change of plans. Kai I want you to go down to The Loop and get that file back, Jeremy you and I are gonna bust Oscar."
Jeremy:" Wait! Nothing you say jives with what Kai told me. You can't go after Santos now, not with the state you're in. He'll clip you in a second. I'm sorry Mal but no dice! I mean all this just for a dame, is it really worth it?"
Mal:" Those selfish bastards are supposed to protect everyone on this city, but instead they're screwing em over for some dirty money. Charlie is dead because of it! So you're asking me if this is worth it. Yeah it is; she was worth every punch. I'm not giving up Jeremy, not until this creeps in the big house where he belongs."
I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review! And Happy New Year's Eve guys! Jade xx
