Chapter 128 128: One Night In The Caribbean II
Cole picked his way from the shore as he identified a chain link fence that seemed to run the entire perimeters of the island. There was no way through from where Cole had just had his first kills of the night, assuming of course that\'s actually a thing. The tech 8tself was electrified, and he noticed that there was small jeep parked in front of it, which means it was probably what delivered the guards to this location and so quickly too.
Cole got into the jeep and started it, taking off with a blast towards the shore as he observed the location of every defense building and tool on the island. It was wild as the guards who took noticed immediately opened fire, but there were few and far in between as some of them seemed to be manning the artillery, and this was also happy revelation for Cole. It seems there was no dedicated targeting systems, but then again how could they.
Automated targeting systems, even if it was just the motion kind was extremely expensive. Sure simple AIs could be used to, but AIs had inbuilt blocs to prevent them. For being used for that sort of thing. Do that and everyone earth would have automated weapons and miniature warheads. But back to the matter at hand, perhaps he did not need to be so focused on finding a way to understand the system and just crack some heads instead. That would make him happier.
Cole angled the jeep sending it into a sand churning drift as he opened the door and jumped out while the car continued it\'s wild spin until it smashed into the chain fence that Cole had been driving around all this time. His leap out of the car saw him rolling out a shirt burst of gun fire while in midair. A trip of guard took the full brunt of it as they crashed to the ground with Cole running past them to step into the artillery\'s rig.
Cole did not immediately try to destroy or make the artillery no functioning. Instead he reoriented it and faced 59wards a particularly large watchtower that was built besides the main gate. Cole set it to automatic and used a pair of guns to brace the artillery cannon. He squeezed the trigger then left the rig, steeling his nerves at the loud booms , blossoming from the artillery. Cole watched impassively forma few seconds and it went wild, pretty much everyone had hit the dirt in order to avoid being caught in the line of fire.
Not too long after there was a loud clank as the artillery jammed. But by then it was already a little too late. Cole could already the his back up making their way into the island. But before they arrived perhaps it would be in their own best interest to cause as much havoc as possible. Cole dropped the assault rifle and started running towards the main gate.
There was a loud bang as a shot from a rifle was fired. Cole lashed, smiling as the body whizzed last his ear to bury itself in the sand. He continued onwards, jumping forwards into a role as he came up to the knees of one of the guards at the main entrance. The butt of blue Obsidian smashed into his knee cap as a wild yelp of pain was released. Cole smashed his foot down on the guards neck as he squeezed the trigger for Black Sapphire.
*Bang!*
The recipient of the attack was a woman who was flung through the fence, her body crashing down on a well made lawn. Her dead body dug up the lawn, running it\'s beauty as she marred the entire green field by smooshing and ripping out the grass in the areas her body had passed. And alarm had already gone up and Cole could see the main house from here. He moved under the shadow of the watchtower as a spray of hurts flew down, smashing into the ground all around him.
[Lesser Mind Control]
"arghhhhhh!"
*Thud!*
Cole raised an eyebrow as the person who had been shooting at him threw himself from the top of the watchtower head first. While there was nobody close by to fully observe it, Cole still shrugged his shoulders and muttered something about providence and karma. Never the less a couple of the guards close by started taking their own guns to their head or turning and shooting their own partners. In fact it was such a welcomed turn of events that all Cole did was waltz up to the front door, and turn to watch the show.
The sounds of gunfire soon filled the night, coming from every possible direction of the island. His uncle had gotten as much as his money was worth, which frankly speaking compared to the assets that he could now bring to bear was extremely pathetic. Because the security on this island would never have been enough to stop him alone, much less an army of trained bodyguards and hitmen. Never the less everything was going accordingly to the plan, they intended to hit every entry and exit point off the island and then box them in the middle preventing them from having an escape route.
*knock! Knock! Knock!*
Cole knocked on the door with a second interval, taking his time to let them know that he had come calling. He could hear shuffling 9f feet from. Beyond the door as the extremely panicked voice of his uncle was heard through and intercom, his voices shaking with each word he spoke.
"Who is it! Who is there? Go away and take care of the Intruders! I am not paying you guys to have a fucking vacation! Do your job!" Cole had an eyebrow raised, absolutely surprised but still trying his hardest not to burst into total and complete abject laughter. He snickered as he heard an audible gulp then raised his head right to where he knew there was a camera watching over him.
"Come on Uncle Jay, you know I know you know that you can see me. So why are we playing all these games, we\'re family man, you should let me in." Cole said as he turned his back against the door, leaned on it and slid down until he was sitting on the floor with his back resting against the door. He pulled out Black Sapphire and rested his forehead against the barrel of the gun, smiling whilst also trying his hardest to fight back tears.
"A-Ah! Cole my man, how are you? Doing. I\'m sorry I was never able to come home for the funeral and to tell you just how sorry I am about their deaths. This is a tragedy for the family, is there anything I can do to help you feel better, if theirs is you shouldn\'t hesitate to let me know okay, I am your uncle, it\'s my job to look after my brother\'s children."
"Well uncle Jay there\'s no need to beat around the bush so much, yeah there is something you can help me with. But you can start by helping me open the door, it\'s late and I\'m cold out here." Cole said to him as he moved his right knee from left to right to a silent rhythm that only he could hear out in the coldness of the night.
"I would love to help Cole, but it seems like there\'s a situation on the island, perhaps you can wait a bit so that it can be rectified, as long as there\'s no more danger I would be more than happy to let you come into the house, I"
"Why\'d you do it? You have to have known that it would not stay hidden for long. Perhaps grandfather would have been able to bury it long enough for you to have finished whatever convoluted plans you guys had going, keeping you safe from wrath and ire of the matriarch. But I believe you had no idea just how powerful and resourceful and just how much of the Night family she had in her complete control.
Her husband, your father, the one that indulged his own son after he killed his own grandchildren. The one that\'s currently in your house right now and probably listening in to our conversation. Our esteemed patriarch and fearless leader, the one who promised us the world and protection but let us get stabbed in the back by the people he raised and who we grew up loving as family. But still even with all of my ranting I\'m still going to ask my question one more time….. why did you kill my brother\'s?"
The answer came from Dragon who seemingly appeared out of nowhere from the shadows as he said. "Radar has them moving through some sort of secret tunnel under the manor…. They were stalling for time so that they could escape. Cole shrugged as he raised his head and said.
"I know my friend, I knew what they were up to…. I can feel them, hear them, even their thoughts. They won\'t get far, so do my a favor and go fetch them for me. I need them alive." Cole ordered as Dragon turned then paused before asking.
"Am I authorized to use Lethal force?"
"Authorized? Nigga you\'re fucking certified! Blessed, benedicted, what ever the fuck you want to call it, just me bring me those damn murderers!"
