Crime & Punishment (PG-14)

"Why are you helping us?" Keana asked weakly. It's a trap one part of her mind told her while the other part said You know the stuff his father is capable of trust him. She decided to go with the part of her brain saying to trust him she couldn't tell where they were going because her head was spinning.
 
"Okay...John...I guess I have to trust you...and it won't be easy...I mean, your dad's men killed my parents and ruined my life..." I said to the kingpin's kid.
Tommy walked behind me, watching my back as always.
"Agh...not again...stupid arm..." I said as my left arm began to bleed again. "...Useless cloth..." I added as I grabbed my wounded arm in pain.
 
John Fratelli:

"My father steals peoples lives away from them in the pursuit of power" John said bitterly, "he has been gaining power quickly though" he pause in his speaking, "my father has expanded the power of the Balice mob to extend over every city withing fifteen hundred miles, and its his goal to take control over all organized crime on the western hemisphere, as well as using blackmail to convince powerful political figures to bend to his will" he finished.
 
I had digested the information that Johnny had given. He wanted to take over half of the world? I never would have guessed he was that insane or that power hungry. He only had influence over this city and a mob, I wonder how he would gain more power. But, we have to stop him before he does gain that power to bend the wills of powerful political figures. If that happens we were doomed.

"If you speak about him so bitterly I don't think you should address him by his title," I said offering my opinion, "I think it would be fine to use his first name."
 
"Ok, John, I believe you. I have learned that they killed them because they refused to pay him. And that he increased the tax a lot, and that that's why they stopped paying..." He said. "Also, where can I get my arm treated? It's killing me...again...Whoa!"
I almost fell down backwards but Tommy instinctly caught me and helped me walk.The pain was now spreading to my back.
 
John Fratelli:

"I'll refer to him as father until the moment I can denounce him as the same to his face" he said coldly, "The moment before I take that shotgun he killed mom with and blow his own face off I will denounce him as my father and make his loss all the greater" he said.
 
"We should hurry up," I stated pointing at the two injured people, "They need medical attention, we can ask our questions later Johnny."
 
John looked down at a manhole cover, "fake sewer system" he explained as he pried the cover off with his fingers, revealing a ladder leading down to a staircase. Once all the others had gotten down the ladder he started walking, it was a wide, short staircase with plenty of room or them all. A keyboard and large door were visible, John typed in something on the keyboard, paused, typed again, paused again, then ran his fingers across the keyboard randomly before the door opened into a large hallway with a white tile floor.

"Injured go to the second door on the left, everyone else bedrooms are third, fourth, and fifth room on the right." John said. John quickly treated the injured in a medium sized room with lots of equipment, John was a novice but he was aware with how to deal with bullet wounds. "Remove bullet, cleanse area, bandage, replace bandages every six to eight hours re-sterilizing as necessary, if severe blood loss is experienced then blood transfusion might be necessary".
 
-Sky just sat down on one of the beds, taking his sniper off his back and checking it. He changed a few pieces, and began polishing the weapon. As he did this he began to think to himself, shaking his head. Soren lay on another bed in the room, watching Sky.-

"The one thing I once found repulsive, is now in my hands. Who'd ever thought I would have to use a gun...heh."

-When he finished polishing the weapon he set it beside his bed, walking towards the door.-

"Soren, I'm going to see those other two I met today, if I can find them that is. After that shot Keana is probably in the med room, but what about Lucy? I wonder... well anyway, are you coming?"

-Soren thought about it a bit, before standing up and following Sky outside the door. They were headed towards the med room, since they already knew someone was there.-
 
I had just woken up. My arm and back stopped aching and I had a plaster on my left arm. I yawned and saw Tommy coming in.
"Mornin' Tommy, heard anything out there?" I said to my Pokémon
"Machokechoke...Chokechoke..." he said, meaning "Not much... but I'm confused..."
"Yeah, me too. Well, at least we're safe..." I said, still a bit confused about the recent events.
"Machoke..." he responded, meaning "Yeah..."

What an interesting turn of events...
 
OOC: Yep, an underground secret base shown to you by the son of the leader of the mob who also wants his father dead! Also this post is just a little thing, not much bearing on the actual story but I felt like posting something =P.

IC:

Scythe / John Fratelli:

Scythe was getting very tired, she realized that it was probably time for her to get her shot again, she tapped John on the shoulder. John looked and saw that she was slumping, he quickly finished up the last bandage and opened a drawer near the door, "Alright Scythe, ready?" he said, taking out a small syringe, Scythe nodded and Josh injected the shot into a small unarmored spot on on the back of her neck. Scythe stayed as still as she could until Josh tapped her on the shoulder, "Done" he said, she gave a little shiver and went to wait by Sarah who was still unconscious, John went over and gave Scythe a small hug, Scythe was glad that she was already red to hide the blushing.
 
I got up from bed and got out of my room. I spotted giving his Scizor some shots.

"Hey, John, man, I have a question about Pokémon...DO you know how can I make Tommy, my Machoke, evolve?" I said to him
Tommy stood behind me, watching ym back as always. He looked puzzled, but I figured out he'd get over it.
 
OOC: Explanation for why John's Pokemon are so uber-strong!

John Fratelli:

"No, I don't know how to level Machoke's" John said, "Scythe only evolved after an experiment, and Amethyst can't evolve now because of the same experiment or she would have already" he said. John paused, realizing that he had said too much, "in for a penny in for a pound" he thought, "I also did the same experiment on myself, which nearly killed me, as well as leaving me with a form of epilepsy" he paused, "Amethyst gem was once blue, but the experiment left it purple, and Scythe requires low-strength long-lasting adrenaline shots about once a day" he was almost done, "Whats left of the experiment has been placed behind a four-inch thich steel door and welded shut, as well as being surrounded by one way psychic mesh so people can't teleport in and mess with it." he finished.
 
"Okay, thanks anyway..." I said to John. "By the way, what time is it?" I added. Despite having slept for quite a long time, I somehow felt tired...
"Choke, choke..." Tommy said, saying he was tired.
"Yeah, I'm tired too, buddy" I said to my friend Tommy. "Get back to the room and take a nap, you deserve it. You did good today, Tommy."
"Choke!" he said nodding, and went inside my room.
Guess I'll find out how to evolve him by myself...Yawn...
 
-Sky smiled, walking in and waving, taking a seat in one of the two chairs in the room, while Soren sat in the other. Soren cocked his head to one side, and murmured something in Sky's ear. He smiled lightly and murmured something back to Soren, who nodded, but still looked a bit confused. Sky then turned his attention to Keana-

"Well hello there Keana? How are you feeling? I saw you were the worst wounded out of all of us, so I decided to visit you first."
 
Keana smiled softly up at him "Still hurts but it's better now thanks." she said looking down wondering if she should tell him something or not finally making her decision she looked up at him again as Blade and Dagger looked at her confused. "Hey do you remember when you told me not to bottle my emotions up?"
