Chapter 6: Reflections Of The Soul
"Welcome, everyone." Santino greets the guests at the museum. "Let us toast to the future of the high table and of course, to the memory of my dear sister." He said and he raises his glass and so did the rest of the people and they do a toast before the music starts back up. Then the people go back to talking among each other while Santino greets the guests.
Meanwhile, down in the basement, a floor door opens and was pushed aside as John Wick comes out of the hidden place then climbs up He turns around then holds his hand out towards the hole and helps you up. "Thanks." You whispered as you got to your feet and then you place the door back down. Both of you look around and start to head upstairs.
"Nice to see you." Santino said as he goes around and greets the guests. Meanwhile, you and John had made it to the main area of the museum and walked among the crowd, looking around for Santino. Feeling nervous, you walked next to John then took his hand in yours and held on to it, tightly. He holds your hand, just a tightly, then strokes the back of your hand with your thumb.
"Mr. Akoni, how are you?" Santino asked one guest then you and John see him and both of you let each other's hand go and start to reach into your jacket for the guns. Santino looks over and sees you two and there was a stare down between the three of you. Finally, the people moved out of the way, leaving you and John standing in the middle of the roo., and the music stopped. Everyone started to watch, with baited breath, as Santino glares at the two of you.
And without hesitation, both you and John pull out your guns and began to fire as Santino runs. Both of you hit some guys and you aim your gun at Santino and fire, but you missed and worst of all that was the last bullet you had. You growled in frustration as John used up all of his bullets then punches one guard coming at him, grabs him and flips him over and goes to grab his gun.
One guard goes up to you and you grab the hand that was pulling out a gun. Both of you struggle for a bit but you were able to open the blade on your bracelet then use it to stab his arm. He screams out as you grab his gun then shoot him in the head, just as more guards come in. You and John aim and fire at the men, killing all of them, then you dig into the guards pocket and pulls out extra ammo and start to load your gun, John does the same, then both of you start to head out.
"The Wicks' are here. Yeah." Santino said into his phone before he hangs up and walks away as fast as he could while you and John shoot at more oncoming men. Of course some fired back at you two but so far none of the bullets had entered your body, thanks to the bullet proof vest or you two dodging as best as you could.
John rolled down some steps, avoiding some bullets, as you stood by the side of the stairs and fired at a couple of men. Then one of the men ran up and slammed you up against the wall but he didn't last long as John fires at bullet at him. The man let's out a groan of pain and you headbutt him and throw him off of you and he rolls down the stairs.
Once he rolls on his back, John shoots him in the head as you run down a few steps then leaped over the dead body as you make it over to John's side. Both of you hear footsteps and a gunfire, so you fire back then you two duck and hide and lean against the statue as the guard comes up to the side.
As he comes into view, John shoots him in the leg and gets up and grabs his arm. The man fires a couple of shots but John raises his arm then flips him over onto the floor. He grabs the gun out of the guy's hand but falls back just as you heard more guards coming. You stand up and see some guards coming and you and John shoot at them before they got a chance to get to you, while John was still holding the other guy's arm and had his foot holding up his head.
Once all those guards were taken care of, John turns to the man he had, moved his foot a bit and headshot the guy the took his gun. Couple more gunshots ring out and you duck down but not quick enough to feel a stinging pain on your cheek. You yelped then hold your hand up to your cheek and realized it was bleeding, luckily it was just a graze. John gets up and hides next to you by the statue and both of you lean over to the sides and shoot two more guards then start to, cautiously, walk out.
"You and you, with me." Santino said to a couple of men as more of his guards run into the museum to take out the Wicks. "You, go." Santino ordered and the two guards lead him out as he hears the gunfire behind him, telling him that the couple was not far behind.
Both of you enter into the room full of statues and fired and you ran out of bullets. "Damn it." You whispered as one guy comes up to you. So you threw the gun at him, which hit him in the face, then you pull off your knife bracelet and stab the guy in the neck before you take away his gun. John shot another man then wrestled for his gun as you turn and shot at a couple of guards coming at you two. Three more men came but John, successfully getting the gun, shoots at them as you helped him.
Both of you continued on when two more guards come, one of them grabs you but you aimed your gun under his chin and fired while John shot the other one in the stomach then in the head. You and him take their guns and continued on.
Again, it seemed never ending as more of Santino's men kept coming but both of you were able to take them out. Once that was done, both of you, with your guns raised and ready, start heading towards the exhibition area of the museum. You two come up to this door and it opens, revealing it to be a large room of mirrors.
Oh, great! This should be fun! You thought, sarcastically, as you and John enter the room, both of your guns still raised. "Welcome to reflections of the soul at the new modern NYC. Within this exhibition, the interplay of light and the nature of self-images coalesce to provide an experience which will highlight the fragility of our perception of space and our place within it. We hope through this exhibit we can provide new insights into your understanding of the world, and just possibly lead you to deeper reflection into the nature of self." The automatic voice said as you and John, cautiously walk through the hallway until you two made to what looked like the middle of the exhibition.
"My God John. My God. You just don't get it. The marker is complete, John. You and your lovely wife should have just run away." Santino said as both of you look around for him. "You know what the Camorra will do to you. You think you're old testament? No, John. No. Killing me won't stop the contract. Killing me will make it so much worse. John, you know what I think? I think you are addicted to it. To the vengeance." Santino said then both of you heard footsteps and you two stepped aside and see a couple of men running in. You shot at one while John punched and flipped the other guy then shot him in the head.
"No life. No home. You still have your wife but no, that wasn't enough. Vengeance, it's all you have. And the worst part, you pulled an innocent woman into all of this." Santino said as you and John walked around the room. "You wanted me back. I'm back." John called out to him. "I’ve made my choice, Santino! There’s no going back. I won’t leave John as long as I’m with him by his side." You shouted at him and you hear a deep chuckle. "My, my, my, John. You have quite the loyal woman there, John." Santino said.
Then you and John see Santino and both of you fired at him but, unfortunately, he runs off and runs towards the glass and crashes through it. He quickly gets up and sees you two then begins to run, both of you began to walk out when John noticed some more men were stalking around. He holds his hand out to you, signaling you to stop, and you do as your told as both of you hide along the side of a mirror as you see a guy walking past you.
John jumps out and begins to fight him, the man tries to fire but John was able to move the gun away. You ducked for a moment then see the two men fighting, you take a deep breath then ran and jumped on the man's back and stabbed him, repeatedly, in the back. He cries out in pain then he latches his hand on your arm then began to walk backwards, making you hit one of the mirror walls.
You let a yelp and the man slams the back of his head into your face, which caused you to loosen your grip and fall backwards. But before he could hurt you even further, John grabs him and throws him up against the other side of the wall and started to punch him. He grabs the man's gun and shoots him in the side then in the head.
You shake your head then look over just in time to see another guard coming in. "JOHN!" You screamed and he turned around to see the guy. He fires at him as he runs over to you, helps you up then both of you ran away as the guard kept firing at you two. You two lingered among the revolving mirrors as the guard looks for you two until John was able to get the upper hand and shoot him before he could shoot at either of you.
Both of you make it over to another hallway when John leans against a mirror. Then he takes a few steps back and crashes through it, where he knocks down another guard. They began to fight and wrestle for a bit when you were able to walk through then see another guard coming down the stairs. He aimed his gun at you but you were quicker as you fired at him, killing him and making his body fall down, as John, who had his legs wrapped around the guy, shoots the guard in the head.
Then you see Santino and Ares walking out and you two fire at them. She fires back but then leads Santino away as you and John follow her.
Ares shoves Santino through a hallway then shoves him out the door. Go, I'll finish this. She signs to him as she gives him a determined look and the doors began to close. "You are now exiting reflections of the soul at the new modern NYC. We hope that your journey through the exhibit has been one of reflective contemplation allowing for a new perspective and insight." The automatic female voice said as Ares pulls out a blade from her pocket.
John leads you down a hallway and towards what had to be the exit, but as the last door opens, Ares stood there and she started slicing her blade at John. He pushed you back as he walked backwards, avoiding Ares' blade. You back towards this larger area of walls of mirrors as John and Ares fight.
You run over to her and grab the back collar of her jacket and tossed her towards the wall. She slams into the wall then glares up at you and she starts to go after you and slice her blade af you but you dodge them until you hit the wall. She raises her blade and was about to stab you but you grabbed her wrist and held back the hand that held the blade.
She then backhands you with her other hand, which made you loosen you grip on her wrist. She goes to stab you but John grabs her arm and spins around then slams her arm over his shoulder as he pulls the blade out of her hand. She screams out in pain as he throws her away from you then she comes at John but her stabs her left hand with her blade and pulls it out and stabs her in the chest.
She glares at him as she slides down on the wall and he pulls the blade out. You get up as he began to search Ares and found a gun and some ammo, he stands up and goes over to you and gives you a worried look. You nod at him, letting him know you were fine, then he turns to Ares.
Be seeing you. Ares signed at him. "Sure." John grumbles then he takes your hand and the two of you walk out of the exhibition while Ares sits there and dies.
