THE MISSION II

City cathedral

Miami Florida

12:00am

**Inside the cathedral

Diego was seen in the dining section of the chamber with Leo and some of the alpha team members guiding him, stuffing their stomach oblivious of the imposing danger on them

The outside was guarded according to the schedule Leo has given the guards each team to each wing

Diego sat at the end of the 200cm long table smoking his tobacco pipe

Suddenly the ceiling cracked open and a body fell on the table dead

The guards stood up in alert staring at the body in horror..the body was cut opened in the stomach region with the intenstines pouring out,the neck had a deep gnash not to mention the brain tissues on the table..it was pure horror

Diego was beyond shocked,he knew they'd find him but he didn't expect it to be this fast it is not up to 24hrs yet. He squeeze the tobacco pipe hard at the realization that they can't escape because nemesis has caught up with them

A guard ran out through the door on instincts but was sent flying back with a loud cry, landing on the delicious looking dishes on the table with a knife stuck to his right eye

The other guards quickly move back, armed to the teeth to protect their boss,guns out in position to shoot the Intruders

"Tsk.. tsk ..,were you planning on having a last supper?" Lara voice came from the ceiling, landing gracefully on the floor

The guards quickly pointed their guns at her, leaving the door vulnerable to the others

Lara scoffed at them in disbelief, acting as though she was scared of them

"Oh my God.. Diego why are your guards pointing their guns at me? I only wanted to eat with you.." Lara stated in a baby voice bursting into tears, the waterworks seems to do the trick,the guards withdraw their guns in confusion

Diego eyes widened on seeing the kind of trick Lara was playing, he shook his head,his heart palpitating

"How dare you barge into this place?" He yelled at her after mustering enough courage

"Took you long enough..I wanted to have some fun" Her facade disappearing within a twinkle

Diego's eyebrows twitched in confusion not understanding why she said that, before he realized six of the guards were down, dead from unseen silent bullet

"Protect the boss..!"Leo shouted shielding Diego with his body

Lara's laugher rang loudly through the air as the remaining guards standing laid motionless on the ground

Sandy and the girls appeared from the darkness with their weapons pointed at Diego and Leo

Leo was confused,he still can't get how the girls got past the guards surrounding the cathedral but that was the least of his concern right now, his major concern is to save Diego

His eyes searched frantically for a loophole to escape while tapping his ear buds alerting the remaining guards outside

The girls were surrounded by the remaining guards, Leo tried to escape with Diego but they ran out of luck coz it was a dead end;one way in,same way out

All the guards slowly dropped dead, their years of training were like dust in the face of the girls

"Why?" Leo asked,his eyes held a fierce boldness

Lara shot the last guard twice on the head before facing him

"You dare to ask me why..,do you know the sins committed by your boss?" Lara voice thundered angrily,the girls stood behind her glaring hard at both Leonard and Diego

"Look.. I don't care your business with him but you'll have to get past me to get him" Leo stated as the loyal dog he is,he have to protect his master till death

Lara laughed hysterically for a moment "you didn't know right?"

"What are you talking about?" Leo question confused, pointing his gun at them but Lara has had enough of the hide and seek game

"Eve.. you're on it"she took her steps backward, Eve came forward with her sword yeah sword..,she wants them to feel raw pain,the same pain they inflicted on others

Diego's eyes widened in surprise his heart in turmoil,he could recognize that face anywhere

"You..?" He shouted in shock,back then in the organization he had met little Eve a couple of times,he could still recognize her

Eve didn't give him time to recover before launching a flip which Leo countered, headbutting her

Soon both of them were engaged in a fierce combat but in no time Eve overpowered him,her sword piercing deep into his shoulder

Without turning back she threw a dagger which struck Diego's right eye, she left leo and took fast strides to Diego

Pulling the knife out,she stabbed him again in the same eye

"Please.. I'm sorry" he pleaded amidst tears and pain but they all fell on deaf ears

The memories of how her parents were murdered kept flashing through her eyes and she kept on stabbing and stabbing and stabbing till she couldn't hear his scream anymore

She sliced off his dick and stuck it in his mouth,by the time she was done her body was covered in blood

Leo felt hopeless and useless,he laid there clinging thinly unto the thread of life watching his master's dead body covered in thick blood

Lara knelt beside him "wipe your tears sweetheart,he doesn't deserve your loyalty"

Leo coughed out blood,"I'm going to kill you..!" He yelled out

"That's if you survive" Lara chuckled

The NEMESIS gang exit the cathedral into the darkness silently and blew it off together with Leo and Diego's remains or so they thought, they were about to enter the SUV when Lara noticed something

"Where's Sandy?" She asked turning back to look at the cathedral entrance

"I'm here boss" Sandy's voice came from her running figure

Lara stared at her before signaling the other to enter the SUV, She pause at the door

' I hoped you didn't do anything stupid Sandy' she muttered

The SUV drove through the night back to the lodge,they disembark quietly each of them in a world of their own thought

Some are contended after killing their tormentors with the hope of stopping their nightmares but the majority are still bruised with the fact that after killing all who made them go through hell, they might or will never find peace

"Pack up all bags,we are leaving" Lara ordered

That has always been the way,they leave after creating messes for the police to clean up

Less than twenty minutes they were airborne back to LA

Central Police station

Miami Florida

4:30am

The doors was swinged open with force, a young man of thirty five marched towards the general inspector's office with an agitated look on his face,his brown hair disheveled like he has been running his fingers through it,his eyes sullen as if he hasn't had any sleep at all

He knocked on the door and entered without waiting for an answer, he saluted as a form of respect

He was acknowledged by a nod from the general inspector

"I came as soon as I saw your message"His deep voice vibrated on his throat

"Michael,we can't figure out what caused the explosion at cathedral"the inspector stated dropping his glasses on the table, rubbing his eyes

"I will have everything checked out as soon as possible" Micheal replied

"I've already called for a board meeting with other departments,we need to get to the bottom of this join the others at the cathedral" The general inspector said, dismissing him

Michael arrived at the cathedral,the fire fighters were already there trying to put out the fire, so the police men can go in for any survivors

"Inspector Michael..," a sergeant waves at him

Michael made his way toward his other officers,his eyes a little bit drowsy one could never really get used to the job

He had been woken up by the sound of his phone,his friend has called him to watch the news before he got his GI's message;he wondered if the press doesn't sleep by this time they are already at the cathedral airing the news live

The fire fighters finally put out the fire and Micheal had to force the press back coz they were trying to get into the burnt church

"Darn people.. just go home" he yelled at them, soon the place was deserted least for the five police officers with him

"Spread out, check the surroundings for anything suspicious.., the church has been deserted for years I doubt anybody would be inside" Micheal stated, watching the police men disperse into the darkness with their torches

Michael moved towards the East wing of the burnt church,he had gone a little distance from the garden when he sighted a movement in the shrub

He moved cautiously to take a look at whatever it was..when he felt something grabbed his legs

"Help.." a voice whispered
