Cherreads

Chapter 6 - wiped

Connie walks down a crowded street. He walks next to the chief of police Don Yusuki. The chief smokes a cigarette while digging through his pocket. They walk towards a small bar and Connie stops

Connie: "I'm not 21."

The chief turns his head and looks at the bouncer. He nods towards Connie and the bouncer nods

Don: "Don't worry about it, Warri. We're not here to drink. I found a lead on where your sister could be."

Connie's expression hardens and he walks into the bar with the chief. The bar is full to the brim with people. Several Yakuza members stare at Connie and the chief with scowls.

Connie: "You're not really popular are you"

Don: "They killed my partner when I was a new recruit. So me and my boys killed a few of there members."

Connie's eyes widen in surprise

Connie: "Why are we here then…"

Don: "There's someone here who knows of that secret organization you mentioned the other day"

They walk over to a small round table. A man wearing a red and gold biker jacket with two large scars on his face sit at the table surrounded by other yakuza members. He stares at Don and Connie with a grin and chuckles

Shin: "If it isn't my old friend! And you have a new partner eh? Don't loose this one, old man…"

Don blows smoke from his cigarette and looks at the other Yakuza members

Don: "Clear the table. I want to talk to my son."

The members all stand up ready to fight. Don puts his hand on his pistol and Connie tenses up prepared to fight

Shin: "Calm down boys…give us some room. This is my father for crying out loud ahaha!!"

The members groan but they remove themselves from the table. One of them shoulder checks Connie. He doesn't budge and looks over his shoulder with a blank expression.

Don sits across from Shin and Connie stands behind him crossing his arms. Shin looks at Connie then at Don

Shin: "What? Are you trying to replace me? That's real hurtful pop! Ahaha"

Don puts out the cigarette and clears his throat. Shin twirls a knife between his fingers grinning

Don: "Your mother asked me to see if you're doing well. Seems like you made a small name for yourself."

Shin: "You could say that….dont worry I'm still eating 3 meals a day and…and…AHAHAHA" shin flips over in his chair holding his chest laughing. Connie gets visibly annoyed

Connie: "Chief. This idiot isn't gonna give us any valuable information! We are just wasting our time!"

Shin sits up and looks at Connie

Shin: "Hey…who the hell are you talking to?!"

Don sighs and puts his hand on his forehead in frustration

Don: "Just tell us what we need to know, Shin. What do you know about an organization called S.A.O.S.N.P. Some outside sources tell me they use gang members to do some of their grunt work. And if I know my own son it's right up your alley."

Shin: "Yeah why would I tell you anything old man?! It doesn't benefit me to give you that information…Fuck you!"

Connie: "So we wasted our time with an idiot, great."

Shin stands up and points his knife at Connie

Shin: "You've been disrespecting me for quite some time! Your glares, your side comments! I'll kill your ass!"

Don: "Shin calm do-" connie cracks his knuckles and Shin jumps over the table swinging the blade at Connie. The blade cuts his left eye and he jumps back holding the bleeding area

Don: "Hey! Stop this nonsense!" Don reaches for his gun but Connie raises his hand stopping him

Connie: "I got this." Shin grins and lunges at Connie again. Connie's body dodges the attack and he grabs Shins throat and slams him through the wood table. Shin stares in shock as blood pours from his mouth and his eyes

Shin: "The brat has some strength to him! I like that! You know…these people you're talking about…that secret organization. They capture people with super powers…"

Connie: "Super powers? Do you take me for an idiot?! Super powers aren't real. What's next you're gonna tell me Superman is flying around."

Shin stands up spitting blood to the ground. His other yakuza members circle around Don and Connie

Shin: "I couldn't give a shit if you believed me or not! You came here asking for my help and then deny what I said?! What a load of bullshit!"

Don: "Son calm down!"

Shin snaps his fingers and the other members all pull guns from their jackets.

Shin: "Hey kid…what's your name."

Connie doesn't back down. He walks forward and stares at Shin with a snarl

Connie: "Connie Warri."

Shin: "Connie Warri huh…listen Connie…I'll tell you about this shadow organization…under one condition…"

Connie: "And what might that be…"

Shin grins and slams his fist into his palm. A burst of aura blast through the bar and Connie's bones shiver as he feels a luminous danger approaching

Shin: "You have to beat me and my men."

Connie rips his shirt sleeve and wraps it around his bleeding eye. He then wraps his other leave around his knuckles. A flash of power comes from his fist as his eyes light up with fury and rage

Connie: "Okay."

[S.A.O.S.N.P. Holding cells]

Cujack stares at the girls with a snarl and taps her forehead with her palm

Cujack: "This is a highly guarded facility…and three…TEENAGERS….sigh…three teenagers broke into one of the most heavily guarded and secure facilities in all of Japan…"

Beatrice: "Hey! Where the hell is Tatski?! You all took her away for no good reason! That is absolutely unforgivable!"

Cujack: "Listen up little British brat…your friend isn't here…we do research on cancers…world hunger…the great unknown…we don't have time to kidnap a lowly teenager."

Sora: "That a lie. I've done research on your organization…you capture people you find worthy of becoming one of your child soldiers!"

Beatrice and Hana both look at Sora with wide eyes and even Cujack looks stunned

Hana: "w-wait what? You never told us that!"

Beatrice: "Yeah! What are you talking about right now?"

Sora struggles in the handcuffs before her book falls to the ground

Sora: "You're Tami Cujack! You kidnapped my sister a year ago! Suyome! I-I've been trying to find this damn place since then! Please I jsut want to see her again!"

Hana and Beatrice look at each other in confusion and pity. Cujack looks stunned before her face turns dark

Cujack: "You know too much…and now you just sealed the fate of each of you…we were just gonna let you off with a warning but this is more serious…"

Beatrice: "Oh yeah?! What are you gonna do about it! Nothing you do will stop us from getting Tatski back!"

Cujack: "Have you girls ever heard of a Kaiju…I know you haven't…because we control it all…and why do you think no one knows…it's because we don't let them remember…"

Sora: "What are you saying right now? What does that mean?!"

Cujack: "It's the year 2024…technology has advanced dramatically…we don't just work with people with super powers…we work with people who want to forget…sexual abuse victims…people who lost loved ones…people who're suicidal…we help them all…with this…"

She pulls a small black pill from her pocket…the girls stare at it in shock

Hana: "W-what is that…"

Cujack: "It's called an erase pill. Made from volcanic ash and and a medicinal compound found from the rock of a Martian mountain…you girls know too much so I'll have to take measures to keep our secret…"

The girls stare in horror as the pill is explained

Beatrice: "You're just gonna make us forget?! Everything?! What the hell is your problem?!"

Cujack: "You'll still know how to eat…sleep…drink…you'll remember your family…your life…everything but the last 4 months of your life"

Hana: "If you do that then…we won't remember Tatski…we won't remember anything…we all wouldn't even know each other"

Cujack: "A small price to pay for the greater good of our planet. Now say ah…"

Two armed guards walk into the room holding a tray of pills. The girls stare at the tray of pills with a look of horror. Hana starts breathing heavily and breaking down

One gaurd grabs Beatrice's face and opens her mouth. She bites his fingers and her punches her in the jaw

Cujack: "Don't kill them idiot!"

Gaurd: "Sorry ma'am…"

The Gaurd opens Beatrice's mouth again this time more carefully. She stares in fear and shakes violently…he inserts the pill into her mouth and forces her to swallow it. Her eyes roll back before she shakes violently and collapses unconscious

Hana stares in horror. Sora kicks the guard in the chest to get away. He grabs her leg and slams her her into the ground. She coughs up blood. She looks up at Hana

Sora: "T-the book said…y-you are the last hope for us Hana…I don't know what that means but…save Tatski…."

The Gaurd forces her mouth open and shoved the pill down her throat. She shakes violently and rolls over unconscious

Cujack bends over and picks up her book. She examines it and reads through it

Cujack: "This is a grade 2 prediction journal by the creator…how did it end up in her hands…"

Hana: "I don't want to forget…please…"

Cujack stares at Hana before walking over and grabbing her shoulder. Hana tenses up…Cujack raises the pill and opens Hana's mouth. Hana shrieks as her mouth is forced open.

Cujack: "It will all be over quickly."

Hana's eyes widen as the pill touches her tongue. Hanas eyes glow a light blue light and an explosion cuts the silence of the room in half. Cujack and the gaurds fly back hitting the wall behind them. Cujack turns to one of her guards and their skull is caved in

Cujack: "what a burst of force…power…raw energy…"

The guard helps up Cujack and she dust herself off

Gaurd: "Should I dispose of her man?"

Cujack: "No…no no no she could be useful…take her to the laboratory…have her memories wiped completely…"

Guard: "What about the other two? What shall we do with them?"

Cujack: "If this one is as power as she is now then the others could have some potential…find their families and pronounce them as dead. I want them all in the laboratory for testing immediately."

Gaurd: "Yes ma'am!"

Cujack walks down the hall holding her broken arm with a small grin

Cujack: "I just hit the jackpot…im going to free you soon master…then you can begin your carnage…hahaha…"
