CHAPTER 13

(What Did You Tell Her?)

 

Matt Hardy sat in his room cleaning his gunshot wound with alcohol, then wrapped a fresh gauze over it. Last but not least, he popped a few pain pills and proceeded to clean his baby Uzi with the extended clip. After cleaning his weapons, Matt leaned his head back and decided to rest his eyes for a second. He had been up for the past seventy-two hours and his body badly needed the rest. Matt Hardy sat up in the chair resting with his Five-Seven handgun with in arms reach when he heard a light knock at the door. He immediately sat up, grabbed his gun off the table and made his way towards the door. “Who is it?” he yelled.

“Ashley,” the voice on the other side of the door called back. Matt Hardy slid his gun back down in his holster, opened the door, and stepped to the side so, Ashley could enter.

“Hey we need to talk,” Ashley said as she helped herself to a seat on the couch and crossed her legs.

“I’m all ears,” Matt said as he sat back in his original seat.

“What’s your story?” Ashley said. “And don’t bullshit me I want the truth.”

“Where do I begin?”

“From the beginning please,” Ashley said with an attitude.

“When I first joined TSA I was assigned to find, the Lion and eliminate him,” Matt Hardy began. “Every time I would get his whereabouts he would always slip through the cracks somehow. It was as if someone was tipping him off so one day I got a tail on, the Lion’s main hit woman Roxy. I followed her and I could of taken her out but I decided to befriend her hoping I could get in good with her and maybe she could lead me to, the Lion,” Matt paused to take a sip of water. “At this time I still had never seen his face and no one in the department even knew what he looked like. After doing a few jobs with Roxy she trusted me then I was finally allowed to meet, the Lion.”

“Did you kill any innocent people?” Ashley asked.

“Plenty,” Matt Hardy answered truthfully. “I was taught to sacrifice a few people in order to save millions.”

“Okay so what happened when you finally met, the Lion?” Ashley asked.

“I met, the Lion and to my surprise he was a pretty nice guy, a serious guy, but overall a nice guy, that is until you cross him,” Matt said. “He welcomed me in with open arms and gave me anything I asked for; money is no object to a man like him. But what I did notice was every time he took his phone calls he took them in private, but one time he took a call and walked into the other room but kept the door open and I was able to read his lips and I heard him ask whoever he was talking to do they know who I really am so he definitely has someone on the inside helping him out. We just don’t know who yet.”

“What do you know about Mary Wiggins?”

“Not much ever since I went rogue she tried calling me a few times but I never answered her because I knew there was a mole on the team and I wasn’t sure who it was,” Matt Hardy said honestly. “I don’t know what it is about, Mary but it’s something about her that I don’t trust,” Matt took another sip of his water. “But what about you what’s your story?”

“Well I was sent here to eliminate you and, the Lion, but after our first encounter I knew you weren’t who they were saying you were,” Ashley admitted. “I knew you were still on the right team.”

Matt leaned over and kissed Ashley on the lips. “When I saw you, you were so beautiful there was no way I could harm you,” he said as he kissed her again but this time it was with more passion. Ashley immediately spread her legs and pulled, Matt down on top of her. Ashely quickly removed her holster along with her black slacks and tossed them onto the floor. Matt’s eyes lit up when he looked down and saw all of that thickness waiting for him. Without warning, Matt reached down and ripped, Ashley’s thong off like a barbarian. Ashley moaned loudly when she felt, Matt’s tongue flickering on her clit. Matt took his time and licked and slurped all over, Ashley’s peach loudly. Ashley released a moan from deep down within she hadn’t been pleased by a man in such a long time that it felt unreal. Ashley wrapped her legs around, Matt’s neck she wanted to keep him there forever and live in the moment. Matt raised from in between, Ashley’s legs and roughly turned her over on her stomach and took her from behind. Matt slid in and out of, Ashley at a steady but firm pace pleasing her with each and every stroke. Ashley moaned loudly as she grabbed a fist full of the sheets, arched her back, and let, Matt Hardy have his way with her. After two back-to-back intense lovemaking sessions, Ashley laid down and fell asleep in Matt’s arms. The two enjoyed a nice nap until they were awaking by the sound of, Ashley’s cell phone ringing. Ashley rolled over when she heard her cell phone ringing. “Hello?”

“Ashley its Mary do you still have Matt Hardy in your sites?” Mary asked. 

“Yeah why?”

“Good keep him in your sites the unit will be there to pick him up in five minutes.”

“Okay,” Ashley ended the call then turned and look at Matt. “That was, Mary she said a unit will be here to pick you up in five minutes.”

Matt Hardy sat straight up with an intense look on his face. “You told her where I was?”

“Yes just tell them what you told me and you’ll be fine,” Ashley said. “Just tell them the truth.”

Matt Hardy jumped up and quickly began to get dressed. “Are you crazy?” He yelled. “I just told you, the Lion has someone working for him on the inside! Until I find out who the mole is I’m staying off the grid!” he said as he grabbed his twin baby Uzis and slipped them down into his shoulder holsters that rested below his armpits. Ashley quickly threw her clothes on, grabbed her weapon, and, followed, Matt out the door.

“Matt why don’t you wait and see if they can help you?” Ashley suggested.

“I betrayed the Lion he’s not going to rest until I’m six feet under the ground!” Matt Hardy barked as he stepped out of the hotel. “Ain’t no telling who he’s got working for him!”

Ashley followed, Matt into the underground garage she felt that maybe, Matt was over reacting a little bit but it was better to be safe than sorry. “Where are you going to go?”

Matt Hardy shrugged. “I don’t know but far from here and I suggest you do the same!”

Ashley went to say something else when a bullet ripped through her shoulder and spun her down to the ground. Matt looked up and saw three men heading in their direction in a low crunch he quickly removed his twin Uzis from his holsters and returned fire. The gunmen quickly split up and took cover behind parked cars. “You alright?”

“Yeah it went in and out,” Ashley said as if getting shot in the shoulder wasn’t a big deal. She pulled her gun from the holster and held it tightly as the sound of engines revving filled the garage. Matt looked up and saw six more gunmen on motorcycles enter the garage. “Come on we have to go!” Matt yelled as he smashed his elbow into the driver’s window of a parked car and let himself inside, and then popped the locks so, Ashley could get in. Ashley ran around to the other side of the car and shot one of the gunmen in the face, she slid in the passenger seat of the vehicle not even waiting to see the gunman’s body hit the floor.

Matt hotwired the vehicle, threw the gear in drive, and stomped down on the gas pedal just as the back window shattered. “Hang on!” Matt said as he swerved through the underground garage at a high speed. Ashley hung out the window and fired six shots in rapid succession. Matt peeked up at rear view mirror and watched three of the gunmen fall violently off their bikes as bullets from, Ashley’s gun invaded their personal space. Matt cut the wheel hard to left forcing, Ashley’s to jerk to the right. Up ahead one of the gunmen on a motorcycle called himself playing chicken with, Matt. 

“Put your seat belt on!” Matt Hardy said as he stomped down on the gas pedal causing the vehicle to pick up on speed. When the gunman saw the vehicle pick up speed, he did the same the engine on his bike sounding like a speedboat. The car and motorcycle collided like two Rams.

Matt watched with a blank expression in his face as the gunman bounced off the front windshield shattering it in the process. Matt Hardy cut the wheel hard to the right as a silenced bullet ripped through the windshield and hit him in the face splattering his blood all over the window.

“Matt? Matt?” Ashley called out frantically as, Matt’s head laid slumped over the steering wheel. She reached out to grab the steering wheel but before she could get control of the wheel the vehicle crashed into a wall, the air bag popped out and smashed, Ashley in the face. Ashley looked up and could immediately feel blood trickling down her face she used her hand and reached around the floor until she found her gun.

Several gunman slowly surrounded the crashed vehicle and opened fire sending over a hundred bullets into the body of the vehicle.
