White King
I was surprised when Simon
walked out with the rifle leveled at me. I looked to Mrs.Treacher for
clarification.
“I did say I cared about
those who are my flesh and blood. The Cleaners are my family members too. You
had them killed cease my obligations to you.”
“Tracy, if you do this; you
would end up in the run as a fugitive.” I explained to her the consequences.
“Fuck your section. I was
trained by the military. I had been on black ops and been hunted before.” Tracy
smiled. “But I am curious to know why you did you hit us.”
“I did not know then when we
hit the place. It was a tip off, but it happened so fast.” I explained. “I
called the bosses, and they told me to find you. But things happened so fast.”
“So you killed them all. I
barely made it.” Tracy replied. “I wondered if we are still allies.”
“Call my bosses. They would
clear it all.” It was the ruse I needed. I had my gun and jumped to the side
while firing it. I hit the guy first, in the head and then Tracy in the chest.
It was learned from Combat Situation Session, and it worked. I got up and
approached the shot lady. She was still alive, but that was a fatal wound.
“You could have held back
until we cleared things here, but you were too impatient.” I told Tracy.
“Me impatient? I was with
that bitch for some time with my vengeance held back.” Tracy was spitting blood
from her mouth along with the venom aimed at me.
“Then join your daughter.” I
shot her in the head. I looked at the Dark Queen.
“I would be surprised that
you would squirm at such moves. You are the Dark Queen after all.”
“I am not. I am just
surprised at you, Agent Marlene. I am used to the killing, but you really
surprise me. I was picturing you as a straight laced agent, following the codes
of conduct.” The Dark Queen smiled. “Sanctioning killing squad? I guess we need
to get the extreme for the new age.”
“Mary, I am past the
speeches. I am here to offer you a new direction. I want into the Chessmen. I
have been hunting you for a long time. During the time, I had learned more of
the Chessmen, and I believed to know more of your organization. I want in.”
“You want in?” The Dark Queen
laughed. “Killing two of them does not qualify you automatically.”
“But if I held back the
investigation on the Chessmen.” Marlene injected in. “I can be the informant.”
“Name your offer.” The Dark
Queen told her.
“The new Chessmen needed a
new leadership.” Marlene looked to the Queen. “It’s a good operation; a
profitable one. I am ~”
“You are proposing to come in
as the new King.” The Queen interjected in. “Marlene, I have been in the
business to know the catch. So what is your price?”
“I want ten million in
diamonds or gold as my fees as the new King. With that I promise you protection
from the Authorities.”
“So the White King truly
displayed her loyalty on the board.” The one known as the Dark Queen replied. “I
should have anticipated that or you would not have come alone. I am sure the
fees can be arranged.”
There was a briefcase near
the Dark Queen. She motioned to that.
“Inside are gems and uncut
diamonds worth that value or more. It’s yours.” The Dark Queen had come
prepared to negotiate with the payout. “I like to come prepared. Like in a game
of Chess, I planned my moves beforehand.”
“You were good Queen, Mary.
You managed the Chessmen well, both as the Knight then and now as the Queen. But
you are a risk. Its time, I will form the new Chessmen” I spoke up. “But I may
do with a new Queen.”
With that statement, I shot
the Dark Queen in the face.
