Unmasked

Jade fell to the ground immediately after the bullet penetrated her body with blood flowing out of her. People were still fighting and shooting back and forth someone gently carries Jade amidst all the chaos into a shed close by. He removed his jacket and tied it around the wound and left her there and went to fight the battle. After capturing Nicholas and locking him up along with his surviving men he went back to the shed and picked her up in his arms and carried her to one of the best rooms in the building and even dedicated a doctor to take care of her. In his office Dennis walked up to him with a smirk on his face,' Ooh Alex is actually falling in love'. 'I am not falling in love', he said puffing on his cigarettes after a successful battle. 'Why did you save that girl again when you are going to kill her just like you have done to some of her accomplices?'Dennis asked with his arm folded. 'Look I maybe feel a little bit attracted to her it doesn't mean I love her', he replied. 'What are we going to do about Nicholas and his gang?' Dennis questioned pouring some water in a glass. 'I am going to keep them alive and torture them till they die by themselves', he said with a devilish smile on his face.

'What will you do about Jade are you going to kill her considering the fact that you are taking care of her after she was shot when you could have left her to rot in the woods?' he asked. 'I want to resolve some issues first', he responded. They talked until they fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun rose waking Alexander up. As usual he wore his mask and went to check on Jade. He sat by her on the bed looking at her bruised face and her torso was covered in bandages. The nurse walked in performing her responsibilities she shivered anytime he moved even a little because of his presence but he wasn't paying attention to her at all. His eyes and mind was focused on the lady lying on the bed. She laid down unconsciously floating between life and death. Then Dennis walked into the room seeing his friend staring at Jade. 'Are you sure you don't like this girl?' he asked. 'I am making sure this time when she wakes up she can't escape.' Alexander replied.

'Anyway, I think we should visit our friend Nicholas and give him a treat', Alexander added. When the exited the room the nurse took a deep breath of relief after she was trapped in the intimidating atmosphere. 'Has the patient woken up yet?' the doctor came in with a clipboard in his hand. 'The patient hasn't woken up yet and if she doesn't wake up soon the Black Killer wouldn't spare our lives', the nurse responded with a bit of worry in her voice and plea in her eyes hoping Jade would open her eyes. 'It seems he cares about this lady', the doctor commented. 'Forget about that, if that girl doesn't open her eyes soon we would be dead, we have families that need us alive', the nurse replied.

Walling down the lobby seemed like walking through Hades. The lobby was filled with cries and screams of unlucky individuals that found themselves in the Black Killer's way. His shadow was cast on Nicholas' face made him tremble in fear and when he heard the footsteps get closer and closer. Then his masked face was revealed after he opened the stained door. 'Hey Nicholas hope you love your new home? 'he rhetorically asked giving of a devilish smirk. That devilish tone and aura on him left Nicholas in fear but he didn't want to show that side of him to the Black Killer because he knew that would please him and he didn't want that. Before Nicholas could open his mouth to let out his confident demeanour a punch flew at his face and the impact threw him to the ground causing the chains around him to make a loud cling sound as they hit each other. He groaned in pain as his tongue licked blood off his lip. He tried to pick himself up from the ground but he fell back down as his knees felt like they could no longer support his body. After managing to hold himself up he managed to let out a statement, 'I thought I ended you', Nicholas said. Then Alexander gave out a loud cackle and then replied, 'You are honestly pathetic, you shot the wrong person'. He punched Nicholas again and again targeting his face and rib cage. Blood was dripping off his face and even covered Alexander's fist. Nicholas was now on his knees but his wrist was still held in place by the chains and he felt like his skull and his rib cage were going to scatter in pieces. After watching his pathetic groans, Alexander made his way back to Jade's room he had taken off his mask. 'Wow you gave Nicholas a deadly beating right there', Dennis said after watching Alexander hit him multiple times. 'I know right, that would teach oh wait he wouldn't live to learn a lesson', he said and let out a chuckle. 'Are you going to Jade's room?' he asked. 'Yes why?' Alexander responded. 'Why did you take off your mask?' Dennis questioned. 'I have sweat a lot in this mask today and I highly doubt she is awake before we left to go entertain ourselves she was in a deep coma'. He answered.

As the two kept chatting until they reached Jade's room they saw her sitting on the bed. 'You are awake!, Alexander exclaimed. She was very surprised when she finally set eyes on him without his mask.
