Chapter Twelve: 'Till I Collapse (P)


"I'll do it." I said.

Everyone's stares felt like needles stabbing me in my back. Looked over my shoulder again to see that everyone walked away disappointed in me.

Natsuki stayed and just gave me the saddest stair I've ever seen.

"Why won't you stay with us? Don't you love us?" She said.

"Natsuki I..."

"Stop...just...just go."

Natsuki waved her hand and walked away fighting tears. I turned back to Drew.

"How long will we be gone." I said.

"12 hours, tops. You should be back by tonight."

"Alright. Let's do it."

"You packin' heat?" Drew asked.

I opened my jacket and Drew saw my Beretta between my arm and my chest. Then he noticed that Mauser C96 on my belt on my right side.

"Feeling a little classical today Spencer?"

"I love all Nein millimeters." I said.

+100 respect for that pun

Me and Drew shared a laugh as me and him walked down to his mustang. He had the convertible top up because it was still snowing.

"It. Never. Stops. Snowing." Drew said.

"Welcome to Cincinnati." I said.

I got into the mustang and Drew drove off out of the driveway. I heard a voice in my mind.

"Spencer." The voice said.

"Odysseus?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you weren't an angel anymore? How are you talking?"

"I can still watch over you while I sleep. Right now I'm sleeping in your room so I can see whatever you do." She said.

"Well did you 'see' how pissed the girls were?"

"Yeah... unfortunately I'm with Drew on this one."

"What are you thinking about so hard Spencer?" Drew asked.

"Oh shiz, gotta go Spencer. Good luck!" Odysseus said.

"Oh nothing Drew."

"You have wrinkles on your forehead. Is there something about those girls that concern you?"

"N-No it's just...I don't like to leave them much."

"Yeah...I saw that."

"What?"

"When I died...I actually died. I went up to heaven for a while and met Cosgrove a little later. We watched over you as you went and tried to save us. Pops was moved by your selfless actions so he gave us both a second chance." Drew said.

"You saw everything...?" I asked.

"Yeah, especially that quality time you spent with Sayori." Drew said in a teasing voice.

I playfully punched Drew in the arm as we both laughed.

"So we're about to see Cosgrove?" I asked.

"Yeah. We're meeting with the sin of Envy. You remember Xander?" Drew asked.

"Yeah he was the school bully who tripped Natsuki in my dream...wait did you see what I did in my dream?" I asked.

"Did you 'Play Checkers, Chess, and Monopoly' with Yuri?"

"Well I mean...she had the chest for it."

"Damn Spence, you pullin' all the best girls."

I laughed the rest of the way to our destination. It took us about 4 hours to get there. We arrived at a large snowy field with people in all black uniforms.

"Who are they Drew?" I asked.

"NWG agents who knew about Vincent's evil ideas. They're here to help."

I got out of the mustang and my breath blew out in front of me.

"Yep, still cold as shit." I said.

"Watch you language Spencer." Odysseus said in my mind.

"G-Get out of my head."

In the distance I saw a large cargo plane that was armed to the teeth with miniguns and such.

"Hello War." A voice said behind me.

I turned around and saw the third horseman of the apocalypse, Garrett Cosgrove.

"Cosgrove!" I said.

Me and Cosgrove hugged each other.

"Alright you two broads, enough with the reunion. We got a sin to kill." Drew said.

Me and Cosgrove let go of each other.

"HVI target is Xander, last name classified, known by the alias Sin of Envy." I said to Cosgrove.

"Yeah I know. Drew and Khalil are going in the AC-130 to provide support from the skies. Me and you are going in that Half-track with Lieutenant Sudoku." Cosgrove said as he pointed at a man walking towards us.

He shook my hand and I looked at him.

"Lieutenant Sudoku?" I asked.

"That's the name."

"Sudoku...like the game?"

"Yeah I know."

"That's a nice sniper you got there." I said while I pointed at the large sniper in his hands.

"Yeah, I call it Death and Justice."

"Good name that goes for a good soldier. I trust you'll be in the field with us?"

"It's a promise sir."

Cosgrove approached me with a Thompson and an MP5 in his hands. He tossed me the MP5.

"Here, since I know you like 9mm so much." He said.

"You know me too well."

Me and Cosgrove laughed as we boarded into the back of the Half-track.

We sat next to each other and Sudoku sat across from us.

"Pssst Spencer! Do you see her?!" Odysseus said in my mind.

"See who?" I asked.

"That Sudoku guy! He has an angel watching over him just like you!"

"Well hopefully his angel isn't as annoying as you are." I said.

I laughed out loud and Cosgrove looked at me confused.

"What's so funny Spence?" Cosgrove asked.

"O-Oh nothing. I'm just happy you're alive again."

"Me too Spence, me too."

Me and Cosgrove enjoyed the rest of the ride there in the back of the Half-track. The snow hitting our faces felt like little needles stabbing us.

I didn't care though. It's for the girls, and I'd do anything for them. Even if it kills me.

"Hey Cosgrove."

"Yeah?"

"You got Rem and Ram back right...?"

"Yeah. They're waiting for me at home right now."

"I'm happy for ya."

"Thank you Spencer...you know..."

BOOM.

A flare flew up into the air and exploded as tanks appeared out of the bushes and surrounded the Half-track.

We all put our hands up as the tanks surrounded us. I stood and up saw the hatch on one of the tanks open.

"Is this Genesis?" A man called out.

I looked closely at him and saw that it was the Sin of Envy, Xander.

"Y-Yeah! We've been sent by Vincent to discuss some business!" Cosgrove said.

"Ah I see, please come inside."

The soldiers escorted us off of the Half-track and they led us into a bunker. We walked down the steps into a wooden room. Fortunately, it was heated nicely.

"Please, sit." Xander said while he pointed at chairs in a round table.

Me and Cosgrove took a seat and Xander pulled out a deck of cards.

"So the NWG wants me to join it's ranks eh?" Xander asked.

"We've done a file search on you. Your stats are admirable." I said.

That was a lie. We were pretending to be NWG that way we can kill this bastard.

"A file search eh? Interesting."

Xander delt the cards and slid me two of them. One was the 8 of clubs, while the other was the 8 of spades.

"I find it quite exciting to join such a... sophisticated establishment." Xander said.

I threw down a poker chip and Cosgrove did the same.

"You could be a valuable NWG member." Cosgrove said.

Xander slid us another card. I received the ace of clubs.

"Somethings not right about these cards." Odysseus said.

"Agreed." I said in my mind.

"It's funny however, you guys weren't supposed to come until tomorrow." Xander said.

Xander slid me another card across the table and I picked it up. It was the ace of spades.

I scanned my cards and saw that I was weilding...

The dead man's hand.

Cosgrove looked at me as I heard a click behind me. I pulled out my gun and swung it behind me, hitting a guard in the face.

Cosgrove stood up and pulled out his signature M1911. We shot all the guards in the room and left Xander.

"O-Okay boys! W-We can make a deal he-"

Cosgrove shot Xander before he could finish his sentence. Suddenly the room began to shake as the AC-130 shot at the tanks that were outside.

"We might wanna go!" I said.

"I don't wanna have another funeral Spencer! Let's go!"
