Chapter 4: Killa Harkan
Klaus leads John, who still had his hands tied, and (y/n) into this large room where there were several men cleaning their guns off on the side. Down at the end of the room, a large man with short dark hair and wearing a purple suit was sitting at a poker table, shuffling some cards. Klaus comes up to the table and places a letter to the large man, Killa Harkan.
He takes the letter, opens it and reads it then smiles, revealing his front gold teeth. "Please tell your mistress that I am honored by this gesture and I look forward to our continuing partnership." Harkan said. "I am Klaus." Klaus said and he turns to walk away but not before he stops and stares at John and (y/n) before he leaves.
"Mr John Wick in the flesh. The Baba Yaga. And this lovely creature you have with you must be the famous Mrs (y/n) Wick." Harkan said as he smiles, evily. (Y/n) does her best to hide her disgust of the man. "Must be Christmas, ja?" He asked as he chuckles then he digs into his pockets and pulls out an inhaler.
He puts it to his mouth, pushes the button and sucks in the air. Then he puts it away and gestures to the chairs before him. "Where are my manners? Please." He said as he gestures for one of his men, who comes up to John and cuts the ropes around John's wrist.
"A drink, Mr and Mrs Wick?" Harkan asked them as he pulls out a bottle of liquor and pours a couple of glasses. "You were expecting us." John said, questionably. "Not me. Him." Harkan said as he nods over to John's left. John and (y/n) look over and see Cain walking up to them, holding a tea cup in one hand and his cane in the other.
"How are you?" Caine asked as he goes over to a chair. "You knew we'd be here." John said to Caine. "I suspected it." Caine said. "Family." John said and Caine looks in his direction and smiles as he pulls his chair up while John and (y/n) take their chairs.
"That family sold you out, Mr Wick. They gave you up in the vain hope of saving themselves." Harkan said as he burns the letter and sets it in a trash can. "You see, that's why I never trust the Cossacks. They are dirty people." Harkan said and John looks over at Caine.
"This is personal." John said to Caine, who just picks up his tea cup. "I sense tension here." Harkan said, smiling. "Mr Wick may probably feel I'm responsible for the death of a mutual friend." Caine said then he sips his tea. "But I didn't kill Koji. You did, John." Caine said and John looks down then back over at Caine. "He didn't pull the trigger." (Y/n) said in a low voice. "Metaphorically speaking." Caine mutters.
"You know, this discord between old friends, it saddens me. Allow me to help." Harkan said and he pulls out this large pistol and aims it at John, which made both him and (y/n) jump, while Caine pulls out his gun and aims it at Harkan.
A guard comes up from behind Harkan but he holds his hand up to him. "Nien." He tells his guard. "We have a deal." Caine said. "Had." Harkan sneered. "The Marquis." Caine said as he holds up a finger. "Hell, I doubt he'll mind if it's bullets, blades, a blind man." Harkan growls and Caine slams his fist on the table, chuckles then takes a sip of his tea.
A second man comes up to the table and Harkan gives him his attention. "We found someone outside." he said and he sets a gun on the table and steps aside to reveal Mr Nobody behind him, his dog by his side. "Is this for me, Mr...?" Harkan asked as he holds up the gun. "Nobody." Mr Nobody said. "And, no, it's actually for him." He said as he gestures to John.
"Then take a seat, Mr Nobody." Harkan said as he pushes the gun aside and gestures to the chair next to (y/n). Harkan then chuckles and holds his hands up. "Exciting, ja?" He asked, smiling, and Caine scoffs out a laugh while (y/n) places a nervous, shaking hand on John's knee and he takes her hand in his, running his thumb over the back of her hand in a soothing, comforting way.
The dog looks up at the Wicks and growls as Harkan puts his gun away. "So, you want to kill them." Harkan said to Caine as he points to John and (y/n) then he looks over at Mr Nobody. "You want to kill them. I want to kill them. What about you, Mr Wick?" Harkan asked. "I'm going to kill you." John growls and Caine smirks a bit but hides it quickly.
"For Pyotr. Of course, ja." Harkan said and John seemed a bit surprised he knew. "But it looks like we have ourselves, uh, a genuine conundrum. A quandary, if you will. A real-life dilemma. So..." Harkan said and he takes a deck of cards and begins to shuffle.
"How about we play a game? One hand. The winner decides who lives...and who does not." Harkan said as he flicks a card out of the deck and an Ace of Spades card lands in his other hand. Caine chuckles again then puts his gun away.
"All right. What's the buy-in?" Mr Nobody asked. "More than you can afford." John tells him. "Yeah, I'm two bullets away from being a very rich man." Mr Nobody said as he glances over at the Wicks'. "Or a dead one." Harkan said and he lays out the cards in front of him.
"Five-card draw." Harkan said and he looks over at John. "I'm going to guess you're playing for both you and your lovely wife?" Harkan asked and John nods then he deals out the cards to John, Caine and Mr Nobody while (y/n) sat next to her husband, her right leg bouncing up and down nervously.
Mr Nobody sends a card back to Harkan and he gives him a new card. Mr Nobody then looks down at his cards and Harkan turns to John. "Mr Wick." He said as John looks at his cards. "Mr Wick?" Harkan asked and John looks up at him then back at his cards before pulling out two cards and hands them to Harkan, who in turn gives him two new cards.
Caine gestures with his hand that he's good and John sets his cards down, reveals two aces, two rights and a queen. "Dead man's hand, Mr Wick." Harkan said, smirking. "Well...I don't gamble. Let's see." Caine said and he holds his cards to his face then laughs like he forgot something and sets his cards down.
"Four nines. And a four." Caine announces and Harkan gives him an impressed look. "Most impressive." Harkan said and they all look over at Mr Nobody. He sets his card down, revealing an ace, a king, a queen, a jack and a ten. "Ah. A Royal Flush. Pretty good for a nobody." Harkan said, smiling. "Thank you." said Mr Nobody.
"A blind man, a guy with a dog, a lovely woman and John Wick walk into a bar and take a seat at the table." Harkan said as he flips a card, which was a two. "That either sounds like the beginning of a stupendous joke or a most profitable opportunity. One thinks he can serve his way out." Harkan said as he flips another card, a two. "One...thinks he can buy his way out." Harkan said as he flips another two. "And a couple...thinks they can kill their way out." Harkan said as he flips another two.
"Each of them all think that they have the winning hand. But what they fail to realize is that the moment they took a seat at The Table..." Harkan said and he flips the last card, which was a two. "...they had already lost." Harkan said. "Let me guess. Five of a kind?" Caine asked. "Yeah." John and (y/n) said.
"I knew you were a cheating prick." Caine said to Harkan. "Yeah...total prick." John said then he turns to look at his wife then Mr Nobody. "Just so you know, Pyotr wasn't personal. Now, maybe a little bit." Harkan said as he stands up and starts to lean forward when John grabs a card and slices it on the side of Harkan's neck then throws it at a nearby guard, hitting him in the eye.
"Kill!" Mr Nobody ordered his dog and the dog jumps up, runs across the table and jumps on another guy and attacks him as more guards come in. Two guards come at John and (y/n) but they hold up their jackets to protect themselves from the bullets while Caine shoots at three men.
The two guards attack John and (y/n) but the couple were able to subdue them and yank the guns out of the men's hands. Now they were armed. They shoot at a couple of men while another one grabs (y/n)'s arms and she was able to swing them around to where she was aiming her gun towards Harkan, who was running, and his guard and fires.
She was able to kill the man that was running with Harkan but the large man himself runs off, holding his bleeding neck. John then punches the man in front of him then shoots at Harkan, getting him in the ass as he runs. John and (y/n) shoot a few more men in the chest and the head before both of them run after Harkan.
They make their way into the club area, where the music was loud, the lights flashing and the people dancing around like they just don't care. They go through the parting waterfall and come upon the dancefloor where there were hundreds of men and women dancing.
Harkan runs through the crowd and pushes them away until he comes upon his men. "Hey! They're over there!" He yells at them as he points at John and (y/n), who were running through the crowd with their guns drawn. Two of Harkan's men come up and one swings an axe at (y/n) but she ducks and shoots him in the chest while another attacks John with an axe as well but he was able to block and grab the man's arm then swings him down to the ground.
There was a parting area of the crowd where the couple could see Harkan standing there, blood seeping out of his wound. The couple glare at Harkan as he pulls out his inhaler and sucks in the air. John and (y/n) walk towards him as Harkan glares at John.
"YOU SHOT ME IN THE ASS! BASTARD!" Harkan yells and John goes and punches him a couple of times and Harkan blocks his blows then punches him. (Y/n) joins in as she kicks him in the gut then punches him in the face. He backhands her and she falls back while John punches him but Harkan kicks him back then grabs him and flips John over his back, making him land right on the nearby steps.
He reaches down to grab John but (y/n) comes up and kicks him in the ass, right where John shot him. "You bitch!" Harkan shouts and he grabs her arm, flips her over his shoulder then slams her on the ground, knocking the wind right out of her.
She lets out a pained groan and Harkan grabs John, picks him up and slams him on the ground. He then grabs the collar of (y/n)'s jacket and begins to drag her away and she starts kicking and flailing her legs.
Finally, he stops, grabs her neck and pulls her up and she goes to kick him while John comes up behind him and slams his hands against Harkan's ears. Harkan yells and drops (y/n) then he turns and punches John as (y/n) starts to get up. Harkan grabs John then throws him towards (y/n), which makes them hit the side railings.
Before they could recover, Harkan spin kicks at John which, in turn, makes him fall against (y/n) and both of them stumble and fall off the side. John goes to grab (y/n) but before he could protect her from the impact, both of them hit their sides on a pillar then they fall off of that and land on the floor below them.
The waterfall pouring over the couple as John was on his front and (y/n) was on her back, both of them recovering from the shock and pain. "(Y/n)..." John groans out as (y/n) takes in a few deep breathes. "I'm...alive..." she said while it felt every part of her was in pain.
John slowly gets up to his feet as (y/n) starts to sit up. He walks over to her, holds his hand out to her and she takes it and he helps her up to her feet. Both of them look up and could see Harkan shouting and gesturing then they look over to the other side of the club and see some men coming.
John takes (y/n)'s hand and they begin to run until two men with axes come up and swing at them. The couple duck and dodge the swings and began two punch the men. John was able to push one up against a pillar and slammed the axe the man was holding towards his neck, which cut into it. He then grabs the axe, yanks it out of his hand and slams it on his head.
(Y/n) grabs the second man's arm and pulls the axe out of his hand and swings it at his head, which hits him on the side of the head. She pulls the axe out of his head then turns around as two more men run at her and John.
The couple then uses their new weapons as (y/n) lands the axe at one guy on the shoulder and yanks him down to the ground then slams the axe on his chest while John threw his axe at another man, hitting him the head. Two more men come but John was able to punch, kick and flip one of the men while (y/n) uses the axe again and hits the second man in the chest and throws him to the side.
Then Harkan appears before them and he kicks John in the chest then punched him while (y/n) goes to kick Harkan but he grabs her foot and shoves her back then grabs at John. He swings John around then clothesline him with his free arm, making John flip over and land on his front.
(Y/n) unsheathes her bracelet knife and runs at Harkan and she goes to stab him but he blocks it by swatting away her hand. She slices at him a few times and was able to get him across his cheek, which then angers him. He grabs her hand that had the knife, twists her writs which made her drop her knife then he headbutts her. She falls backwards and lands on her back while Harkan goes over to John and grabs him by the back of his collar while he was trying to get up on his feet.
"Know what your problem is, Mr Wick?" Harkan asked John as he pulls him up to face him. "You are unlucky." Harkan said and he slams John up against a pillar. "Unlucky in life, in love, in friendship..." he said and he punches John in the stomach. "And now...in death." Harkan shouts but before he could kill John, (y/n), who was able to find her knife, jumps on Harkan's back and stab him in the neck.
Harkan yells then (y/n) pulls the knife out of his neck and stabs him in the side before he smacks the back of his head into her face. She falls off of him and John punches Harkan then grabs him and pulls him around and away from (y/n).
Harkan goes to punch John but he ducks gets behind him and wraps his arms around him but Harkan was able to break his embrace and turn to face him. He charges at John but John grabs him and then body slams him on the ground as (y/n) shakes her head and gets up.
John gets on top of Harkan and starts to punch him repeatedly in the face then pulls him and punches him again until he goes unconscious. John then stands up and looks over at (y/n), seeing that she was okay. Then two men come running in and John takes on one as he takes the man's axe, spins him around to the ground and slammed the axe on his chest while (y/n) punches the second guy then stabs him in the neck with her knife.
They look over and see Harkan sitting up and pulls out his inhaler. He gets up and starts running away from the couple and they run after him. They catch up and John throws the axe, which hits Harkan in the back of the leg. Harkan screams in pain and John and (y/n) run at him as he backs up against a staircase. "Why don't you and your wife just die?" Harkan screams and John kicks him.
John falls forward on the staircase while Harkan stumbles back, hits the railings, falls over and lands on another set of stairs on his neck, killing him instantly. His body rolls over the last set of stairs as (y/n) looks down and cringes once he made impact on the stairs.
She then looks over and goes to help John up then they make their way down the stairs to Harkan. John turns his body over and punches him him the mouth a couple of times and pulls out a gold tooth then they make their way out of the club just as everyone else was doing the same.
John and (y/n) make their way back to the Ruska Roma and see Katia kneeling by the alter. John walks up to her and holds out Harkan's tooth to. She takes it, looks at it and smiles as she looks up at them.
