Victoria And The A-Team [REWRITTEN]

Chapter 44

VICTOR [Victoria's brother]

I sit in a chair across from lucas patiently waiting for the calm before the storm to pass, it might not seem like it but i more than anyone have waited for this day to come ever since i regained consciousness, for the past years I've lived under constant pretence...in order to find out what had happened to my sister that night, I pretended not to remember the person who killed my parents and tried to kill me, I obeyed him, earned his trust and became his personal puppet all the while counting the days to his doom.

BANG, BANG, BANG!! The loud hurried banging on the door snaps me out of my thoughts, I turn to Lucas, asking for his permission, he nods and I get up, leisurely make my way to the door and wrap my hand around the knob before pulling it open "what??" I bark at one of our men standing outside "we're under attack, you need to take the boss away from here" he reports and it takes everything in me to keep my face expressionless as a smile tugs at the corners of my lips at the newly found information.....finally, I was starting to think she didn't understand the clue I sent. Nodding my head I order "keep them outside" and slam the door on his face before turning to Lucas "what's the problem??" He asks still seating comfortably in my father's chair, I'm going to make his death slow and painful

"We need to hide you somewhere safe" I tell him, swallowing all my anger and hatred. He shots up from his chair, an exasperated scowl on his face as he enquires "what‽‽ how the fuck is that possible??" The words coming out in a growl, I shrug "I guess Emit finally broke" what else could I have said, I can't mess up my plan when it has only started taking effect, I'm finally going to see my sister again in a few minutes and this time I won't be in my memories, picture or through the scope of my rifle....no, it will be in person.

"Are we leaving??" He asks, I shake my head, how could I let him leave when all of this...the party was specially planned for him and his accomplices "there's an underground safe room below the mansion, you'll wait there until the gun fight is over" I explain taking out my gun just for show and open the door, stepping out first to make sure it's safe and lead him to the basement

"I want you to hunt them down and kill them but leave the girl alive" he gives his last order just as he enters the room,  it's well furnished with a bed, a TV, fridge stocked up with food and an oxygen tank to supply the closed space with fresh air, I frown and share my thoughts "why keep the girl??"

"I'll tell you when you have her" I nod, not wanting to seem intrusive for his liking and rouse suspicion and close the door, I look around for place to sit and wait for my sister and her minions, I gotta say for a little who hated violence and used to feel nauseous at the sight of blood she's changed so much, people are now scared from just hearing her name.

A couple of minutes go by and the basement door is kicked open, I get up at the sound of approaching footsteps and reach behind me for my gun as the thumping gets closer and closer "not yet, but he's here" a manly voice says, I wait for a response but it never comes telling me he's alone and communicating with his team through an earpiece, he stops a few feet away from me and says "step into the light" pointing his gun at me, I did as I'm told and for a second his eyes widen in surprise before he quickly composes himself "uhm guys..." he starts, not talking me "I think you need to see this yourself" before focusing back to me "...who are you??" He asks and lean back against the wall once again hiding behind the shadows, we stay like that for a couple of minutes before the silence is disturbed by a pair of approaching footsteps, whomever it is must've asked where he is because he answers "come to the end of the hall"

Two figures round the corner a minute later, guns in hand and their fingers hovering over tha trigger point ready to shoot on suspicion, they only relax when they see their friend's tense back "what is it Jason??" A feminine voice asks walking closer to him and stop next to him, and it's my turn to be surprised finally seeing her face....it's my sister dressed in a hunters outfit, shes holding the gun in her hand as if it's a purse, i chuckle softly shaking my head, uf anyone told me years ago that my seven years old suster was one day going to griw up to be an assassin i wouldve taken it as an offense abd beat the shit out of them.

Jason only nods his head in my direction forcing Win to look infront of him...at me and squint her eyes trying to see through the darkness "who's he??" She enquires after a few srconds of her silent observation, Impressed I decide to step out of the shadows before the said Jason responds to her question into the light, her eyes widen in both surprise and confusion, which i understand....she saw me die or so she thought she did before she was taken away "Win" I mumbles a familiar nickname, hoping to earn an ounce of her interest so that she doesn't kill me right here and then mistaking me of her enemy, she stumbles back a little as if I just pushed her

"how....how do you know that name??" She stutters, the frown on her face turning into a scowl, I could just imagine what's going on in her head at the moment, the questions that mudt be rscing in her small brain searching fir answers. Wanting to comfort her I take a step closer but stop when Jason warningly cocks his gun, and look her up and down before saying "you've grown-up so much" I reach out my hand to touch her deliberately ignoring her question but she steps away just when my fingers are about to touch her cheek, sighing I push the hair hanging on my forehead back with my hand and tug at it in frustration "Brother??" She breaths out all of a sudden, I freeze lower my hand and look down at her, the look of uncertainty still on her face as she adds "...where did you get that bracelet??" Trying hard to keep her anger from surfacing, i can't help but chuckle, not everything changed "do you always have to ask so many questions??" I ask but instead of her, Jason growls "Just answer the fucking question" pushing his gun closer to his forehead in a threat, putting my hands up in surrender I nod my head in understanding before saying "you already know the answers to your questions Win" once again she scowls at the nickname

"My brother is dead" she states matter of factly and I don't try to tell me she's wrong, only let out a sigh and lower my hands "I know" i tell her, my voice barely a whisper, i wish i could just come clean right here but they're not here for me but Lucas, i can always explain everything later if she lets me that is "our time is up, we need to get out of here" the man she came in with says still watching their backs, Victoria aims her gun at me and asks "where's Lucas??" I hesitate but not because I want to protect Lucas just out of surprise, when we were young she was always afraid of guns and the sounds they make but now....I shake my head and step aside revealing the door behind me

VICTORIA

"open it" I order my brother's lookalike before adding "....and don't try to be a hero because I won't hesitate to turn you into a zero" and take a step closer to him incase he ignores my warning and tries something stupid, he silently opens the door and Lucas shoots up from the sofa he was siting on "is it over?? Where is she??" He asks walking over to door still oblivious of us, he opens his mouth to say something but I shove him to the side before he could and say "if by her you mean me, then I'm here" speaking directly to his boss, Lucas to halt in his steps confused, his eyes traveling from me to the Jason and Drake standing behind me and mumbles "how??" In utter disbelief "It's simple, you overestimated your men" I tell him just as Jason walks past me to get him, grabs him by his elbow and drags him out of the room, Drake signals my brother's lookalike to follow them and walks behind him, I'm the last to walk out of the basement

"Reinforcements are 10 minutes away" Jalen alerts us, just as we step back in the mansion, groaning I lead everyone to the backdoor where I asked Ajex and his brother to wait with the getaway car "take them away" I order and start walking back inside "I'm not leaving" I stop at the stranger's words and turn around to look at him with a raised eyebrow "...I'm not leaving without you" he rephrase his statement making me frown, why would he not leave?? Is this some kind of plan for him to delay us until their Reinforcement arrives?? Thankfully I don't have to worry about it that much as Drake hits him in the back of his head with the end of his gun, he groans at the sudden pain looking up at the sky before collapsing, Ajex and Alex catches him before his body reaches the paved ground and loads him in the backseat of the car next to Lucas "Go, we'll keep them busy here and meet you at the airfield" I tell them before running back into the house with Drake and Jason to get Dominic and Jaden.
