Chapter 7
By Cheese 2000
Vigilante Pheonix Mark rose from his spot his head throbbing. His memory was unlcear for a while. Then it all came back to him. He dashed for where his gun was, but it was gone. Darian must have taken it. He scoped out the area. They were all gone. Remebering the girl from the ministry, he focused his thoughts in an attempt to contact her using his chip. It was blank, he couldn't send his message. He realized that he no longer felt the desire to hunt her since she was an interface like him. Pheonix had only been an interface for a few months, but the cruel memories of the testings still burned in his mind. He made up his mind that he wouldn't let her or her companions get into any danger, he swore it on being a hunter and an interface, even if it meant joining Anika and Darian.
He reached into his trench coat to make sure that they didn't take his other things. He pulled out his other pistol and put it in the holster of his missing gun. Setting off, Pheonix knew that he needed to rest after taknig a blow to the head like that. He ran his fingers through his blackish-brown hair and felt a minor lump on his scalp. He had survived worst injuries. Going into hunt mode once again he began his search for the girl and her companions. As he limped down the sidewalk, a row of squad cars drove past. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Darian in the back seat of one of them. At first site he thought he was dead, but then noticed the movement of his chest rising and falling meaning he was still breating. If he had been a normal person he wouldn't have noticed that, but being a hunter, he had to train his eye to notice small details such as that.
Running over to a near-by allie he reached into his coat and pulled a ring of keyes. Flipping through them he found the one he was after. He ran over to a motorcycle hidden amongst some garbage cans. He hopped on and inserted the key. Turning it he accelerated out of the allie and began pursuit of the squad car. He was now side by side with it. The stop light ahead of them turned red and in unison he and the squad car stopped waiting for it to change. He peered into the window and saw Darian. He noticed movement coming from him.
Opening his eyes, Darian searched for answers about his surroundings. He was in a squad car, and was unable to move his hands. Out the window he saw a familiar face. It was Pheonix! Without warning his rival hopped off his motorcycle and pulled out a pistol from his long black trench-coat. Aiming it at the driver he pulled the trigger, instantly killing him. Then he took a club and smashed the window open pulling Darian out. Quickly, he ran to the other side and removed the keys from the dead cops belt. After freeing Darian, he oredered him to get on the bike. The light turned green and they were off.
" Were is the girl?!", yelled Pheonix over the roar of his bike.
" Why? So you can kill her and collect the bounty?" Asked Darian coldly.
" I'm not going to kill her! She is one a part of the Ministry's experiments, just like me.", replied Pheonix.
In the same tone of voice Darian replied: " Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you!"
As soon as those words left his mouth, sirons erupted from behind them. The cops here hot on their trail.
