Chapter 4: Cinco

Behind the garbage bin from where he is hiding, Raiden raised one of his eyebrow to the scene he's witnessing. Boss's partner walked slowly from the gap on the walls that he is inspecting, crossing the street where Boss is seen standing. Raiden did not hear their conversation due to the sudden heavy downpour of the rain, but Boss walked back slowly to the alley Raiden peeked from a while ago. After a few moments when Boss walked back from his partner, his partner stealthily leaped behind him and pinned something on his back. Crazy enough, within a few seconds one of his pursuer is facing the wet pavement of the alley lifelessly. His blood is pouring down along with the rain covering the street with crimson.

A familiar voice echoed on the street,

"Uno, you there?"

"Are you still alive?"

"Dammit kid, don't you dare die up on me. I swear I will rip your soul from Satan's hand and bring you back in here!"

Raiden's emotion soared, She is the reason why he betrayed the organization.

"But it can't be, she died in her last mission. All the higher ups confirmed her death. They said that she leaked a highly classisfied intel to the British Government on which several branches of Gurkha in Europe were wiped out because of that. So the Gurkha initiated a manhunt operation against her. They confirmed that she is killed in action and her body is found in a burned down apartment in Paris, France." Raiden said to himself.

"It can't be, this is impossible"

Raiden is still vigilant. Who knows, maybe this is a trap from Gurkha to flush him out.

He flicked his wrist and a holographic image shows a row of coded message on his Nanosense. He sent it to the icon with a number "5" on it.

After a while, Boss's partner shouts.

"You dumbhead! You think I can be killed by a bunch of trashes walking aimlessly on the streets of Paris? I'm already flying halfway around the world when they found out my apartment."

Raiden shows his lighted Nanosense behind the garbage bin to indicate his position. The other party immediately runs to his position when it saw the flickering light of the Nanosense.

When he sensed that the other party is halfway to where he is hiding,

In a calm voice, Raiden said

"In dark there is always light . . ."

the other party calmy replied,

"Yumi is light"

Raiden slowly stands up from where he is hiding

as emotionless as can be but when he saw the face of the man that is approaching him, a small smile can be seen in his face.

"Sis, I thought we already lost you"

Raiden hugged the approaching man.

"You dummy, you know my capabilities, you know my nickname or did you already forget it?"

"yea, yea no need to rub it on my face. Cinco the Chameleon" Raiden replied while retracting his arms from the other person.

"It is good that you still know it" still smiling while his face and voice is slowly transitioning from a burly middle aged man to a 25 year old woman with a very beautiful face, white complexion, silky neck length black hair, with Asian facial features.

"I already prepared an extraction point. I will get Yumi first. You follow the coordinates on this coded file." while fiddling with his Nanosense, Raiden again sent a coded file to the icon with "5".

"Copy. Be carefull out there, you need to lie low as much as possible. I know you're not a child anymore and you can handle it on your own. But you're not a character on a game, you can only live once and once you die there are no restarts got that?" Cinco addresses her brother worriedly.

"Yea I know it. I will be very extra carefull Sis. You take care of yourself also. See you in a bit." Raiden prepared to leave but Cinco stopped him.

"Stop, take this first"

She threw a battery like object with a whole at the bottom to Raiden.

"You're left thigh is bleeding, use that AutoMed to heal it first after that you can proceed"

"Thanks Sis"

Raiden placed the bottom of the AutoMed to his left thigh near the bullet hole that can be seen, after that he presses the button on its side to activate it which releases the medication inside of it via skin injection allowing the nanomachines inside his body to heal the injured area in seconds.

When his injury healed, Raiden bid farewell to Cinco.

He weaved the back streets of Gilman avoiding the mainstreets due to the possibility of Gurkha patrols that are searching for him, while also avoiding the Smart Detection drones of Gurkha.

After an hour of running and hiding, he reached a dilapidated warehouse near the docks Southwest of Gilman. Searching for a few minutes, he reached a warehouse with a sign "Warehouse IX". The entrance of the warehouse is locked, so he went to the side and saw a small hole in the wall that a small child can crawl into.

"Yumi, where are you? I'm outside the warehouse." Raiden sent a voice message from his Nanosense.

A few seconds after he sent the message, there seems to be a movement on the other side of the hole and a head of a child possibly 10 years of age shows up.

"Let's go, Big Sis is waiting for us." in a hushed voice Raiden said to his sister while he lightly pat her clothes.

"You said Big Sis is no longer with us in this world, that she went with mom and dad." Yumi said with an innocent and questioning look.

"I thought so too but I just met her, and she is waiting for us so you better hurry up" Raiden with a defeated look on his face replied to his younger sister.

They carefully crossed the docks and saw a parked Mag Lev car not too far from them.

"Wait for me here, I will get us a car so that we can go to big sis much faster ok?" Raiden said while securing Yumi's hiding spot behind a cargo container.

Yumi just nod her head in agreement.

Raiden went to the parked car and hacked the controls using his Nanosense. After a few second, a small beep sounded inside the car which means it is already unlocked and ready to be driven. Raiden went to Yumi's hiding spot and guide her to the car.

After a while, the two of them are cruising inside the MagLev car across the central area of Luzon to a place called Aurora where Raiden has a private property. Once they reached the private property, the two of them boarded a private yatch in the docks to a small private island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
