On a String

Chapter 21

"So what if I'm crazier than crazy
So what if I'm sicker than sick
So what if I'm out of control
Maybe that's what I like about it"
So what by Three Days Grace

Silence...that's all there was silence. Kai had his head hung in thought, Zane, Wu, and Jay were all waiting for him to say something. Nya and Lloyd were listening from afar not letting their presence known. (Lurking in the darkness) Brown emotionless eyes flicked up to stare at the group...a cold voice soon followed "Let's go get Cole."

Nya and Lloyd walked into the room cashing everyone to look at them...the Samurai spoke "Well what are we waiting for?" Wu nodded "Nya is right...Lloyd Nya and I will stay behind monitoring your ever move...you three will go get Cole using your ninja skills and Kai's knowledge."

Jay and Zane nodded but Kai just stood still...silence had returned (sitting in a dark cell talking through a vent..voices so weak and broken) the red ninja walked out of the room heading to the training room where the table of weapons still sat.

Everyone followed him curiously...wanting to know what he was taking. Once in the dojo Kai examined the table picking up the bread and butter knife placing it in his belt, the two Beretta each with a silenced attached, and much more.

When he finished anyone who would have just walked in would have thought he was going to war...but wasn't that what this was. War...fighting to get Cole out alive all the while destroying the gang.

He had two beretta each with a silencer, his sword strapped to his back, few shurikins and throwing knives resting in his belt with the bread and butter knife, and some magazines for the guns. Jay, Zane, Wu, Lloyd, and Nya all started wide eyed at Kai...he looked intimidating with all the weapons but the one thing that made him terrifying was the cold expression on his face.

Jay laughed "You sure your not going all out on the weapons Kai?" The fi-red ninja smirked not a cute smirk not a nice smirk but a cold smirk...the smirk of a killer "Trust me we'll need them...get ready to leave...time is the one thing we don't have"

They made their way to the deck of the Bounty, Wu spoke "Be careful out there..and bring Cole home." Kai nodded flipping over the side of the ship (thank goodness it was landed) landing in a crouch standing slowly as the Jay and Zane landed on either side of him.

Kai looked at both the blue and white ninja before taking off with them close behind, running to the city...running to Cole (a scream a fall a death  don't fail him like you did her) Once they were at the city the slowed down, walking following Kai to where he was held.

On the way there they had to pass by Clarissa's house...Kai stopped in front of it, he could feel her presence...hear her soft voice...see her beautiful blue eyes...she would finally rest in peace. Jay and Zane exchanged glances before the Master of Lightning asked "Uhh Kai is this where Cole is?"

Kai shook his head "No it's just a empty (dead) house of a friend." He didn't have to say anymore for them to figure out this was her house...before they could ponder on the thought any longer Kai had taken off once again.

Minutes past before they came to a huge old abandoned building..."This it," Kai's voice was like acid burning through the tense air. Zane asked "How do we get in my scanners are not  picking up any areas we can sneak in from" Kai laughed a emotionless laugh "That's because there are none we go in the way I came out....the front door"
