CHAPTER I - The Bishops
D R E W
Winter of 2012. Dallas, Texas.
It was Christmas and me and my boyfriend Jack are going to a party with our friends for this holiday so I took my car that Geraldine Hopkins (my mentor) gave to me for my 18th birthday and also that day when I decided to move out from our family business. Anyways, I drove the car to the house party while listening to some soft rock music like Slow Ride by Foghat, Dream On by Aerosmith, and many more songs on the radio. Later, at the house party. I was wearing a regular Christmas sweater that I brought online while Jack was donning a fancy suit that had a color style of a Christmas tree so I was feeling like I was the odd one out because everybody was wearing very nice suits and dresses.
I sit down with my best friend Elliot and drink some fruit punches while having a nice conversation about our future after college. "What are you doing when you finished college?" Elliot asks me.
"I don't know, man. I haven't thought about that for a while but I think that I probably build a family with this beautiful girl beside me." I kissed Jake on the cheek and he smack my ass.
"That cool. But what about your sister? I thought that you go back home to stay with her." Elliot takes a drink of the punch.
Then suddenly, I remain silent because I don't want to answer his question about leaving my sister alone to go on a mission without me, and also I tried to forget my past self before I went to Texas for a psychological degree. "Let's change the subject, shall we? I and Drew are planning on having a baby together and we need a godfather if this baby was born. So, would you want to be a godfather for our baby, Elli?" Jake asks.
Elliot coughing his drink. “What?! I begin a godfather? Mean like that sounds cool of you to become a sexy mommy but I don’t think that I am not available to keep your child safe or get killed. I am sorry.”
“Babe, I need to go to the bathroom. So, can I?”
Jake nods, I went to the restroom to take a quick piss but when I get inside the restroom I felt someone was standing behind like a serial killer that is ready to kill me in a second hence I use my fighting skills to defend myself. Also, I saw the person in the mirror that was halted behind me and this person was wearing a red hoodie with a bow & arrow on her back and when I noticed that she was going to punch me so I dodge her punch then I grab her arm and tackle her down to the ground. But I didn’t expect the person that I tackle with because it was my big sister Reyna. “Rey?!”
“Hi-ya, Drew.” I help Reyna get up from the ground. “I was looking for someplace to masturbate but I didn’t know you were also using the bathroom.”
“Why are you here, Rey?” I ask my sister.
Reyna takes a peak of the party by slightly opening the door halfway through then she rolls up the window and she jumps past the window into the outside. “Come on. Like old time.” Reyna smiles.
“Where the hell are we going?!”
I follow Reyna outside the dusky night to our father ‘56 Lincoln Mark II, we get inside the car and the first thing I saw is that a couple of empty bottles of beer also this car smells like someone drinking too many whiskers that making them piss themselves. Rey was looking at herself in the rear mirror fixing up her makeup then after that, she cleaned her multiple arrows with a Huggie wipe while I was waiting patiently for her to explain what the actual fuck happens. Finally, when she puts all of her arrows inside the quiver and places them back on the car seat.
“So, can you tell me why I am inside our daddy car and why you empty bottles around?” I ask.
“Because Drew, I need your help to find our father, please.” Rey said.
I noticed that Rey was holding a book or a diary with a lot of sticky notes inside the diary. “What do you mean? Is daddy okay?”
“Lately, dad hasn’t come home since you went off to go to college without saying goodbye to us. That not cool, sis.” Rey looks at me with a serious look on her face. “But anyway, I got our father diary that has all of his enemies that he fought way before our mother gave birth to us and the first name on the villain list is Gideon Carson aka Scorpio.” She showed me a picture of a man wearing a ninja suit with a katana on his back.
"No. No! I can't do this anymore with you, I say that I will never become an assassin ever because I don't want to kill anymore." I told Rey. "So, you have to just be alone without me, I'm sorry."
"You know that I can't do this alone I need my baby sister alongside me on this journey to find our dad. Also, I have your bow inside the trunk with the arrows." I took the picture of that ninja guy, flip it on the back, and at the back, I saw considerable numbers in the back. "That is the last time that our father saw Scorpio."
Reyna pulls out a big box underneath the driver seat, inside the box were a lot of fake FBI IDs and driver licenses. "You still had all of that stuff in you?" Rey gives me an FBI card with my picture on it and a fake name. “Why?”
“You know why.”
Rey put the car key inside the keyhole to start the engine of the car, she pulls out a cassette tape and put it inside the CD player, the tape was playing a song that I remember our father singing to us every time we went to sleep and the song was Night Moves by Bob Seger. And the song was playing in the background while we chatting about this Scorpio dude that we hunted down, I was checking my phone to see that I missing three of Jake’s calls so I call him back. “Are you okay, Jake?”
“Yeah, everything is okay but I am worried about you because you haven’t answered my calls or text messages since you went to the bathroom. So, where are you now, Drew?” Jake’s voice sounded worried and scared.
“I am outside just taking a break from all of the chaos inside the bar.” I told Jake until Rey took my phone and talk to him herself.
“Hi, this is your girlfriend sister Reyna is speaking, I and Drew just having a family trip and your girlfriend will be back anytime soon. I’ll promise.” Rey told Jake on the phone. “So, she will come back soon as possible.” She hangs up the call and tosses it back to me.
“What the hell are you doing?!” I was yelling at Rey.
“Trust me on this, sister.
Many hours later. Rey parks the car somewhere in a very nice neighborhood with the feels of a 1950s sitcom then we step out of the car with the fake IDs inside our pockets and our bows & arrows inside the car. We walked toward a modern house that has Christmas decorations around the house also many yellow tapes that cops use to not people allow into their work so we walk past the yellow tape and into the house with many cops and scientists.
“Why are we doing in a crime scene?” I whisper at Rey.
Rey pointed at a young brunette woman wearing a flourished dress. “That is the widower of the dead Rowan Taylor. Jade Taylor.” She has shown the witness her fake FBI badge. “Good morning, Ms. Taylor. I am a special agent McGovney and this is my partner special agent Graham, and we here to talk to you about your witness of your husband’s killer.”
“I already told the cops everything I know and saw that night so can please leave me alone.” Jade was drying her tears from the tissue.
“I understand, Ms. Taylor. But this information is very important to me and my partner so please just answer a couple of my questions about last night and you will never see us again. I promise you that.” Rey said to Jade.
I was looking around this modern house while Rey was talking to the witness, I noticed something on the ground and it was a shuriken like from The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise so I pick up the weapon to get a closer look at the shuriken. Also, this ninja star has blood on it but it is not raw, it was fresh like maybe around two or three weeks and I saw initials of a person’s name at the shuriken [BT]. I put the bloody star inside my pocket to use it for later but anyways when Rey finish asking questions to the witness, just as soon as we tried to step out of the crime scene suddenly a real police officer was standing in front of us. And felt my heart was trying to jump out from my chest like someone is pulling my heart out.
“Hello, officer. Do you need anything from us?” Rey asks the officer.
The officer removes her cap. “I never saw you before and I don’t remember no one calling the FBI in this case. So, why are you here and working in this case?”
“Our boss sent us to this case to find the killed who murder Rowan Taylor so do want to call our boss for some classifications.” Rey pulls out her phone and dial-up a phone number to give to the officer. “This is our boss’s number and he will you all the things that you want to know about us.”
“What boss? I don’t remember any boss working with us.” I whisper at Rey’s ears.
She places her finger on her mouth like she is going to tell me a secret. When the officer stop talking to our boss (that I didn’t know we have), she give the phone back to Rey then we went back to the car to drive to somewhere that Rey didn’t tell me where we going or even why we are going after a deadly ninja for the first place. So, we’ve sitting in the driving seat just remain silent for the entire ride until I open my mouth to say something about this situation and our father’s disappearance. “I know what you doing working on this case because you won’t feel the nostalgia when you and me and our dad hunting down bad men that deserve to die together like a real family but we are not that anymore since I left you with dad.” I told Rey. “So I would like that you will turn this car back around and straight to where you first found me.”
Rey stops the car in the middle of the street. “Listen up, Sport.” Hold up did my sister just call me ‘Sport’ (that weird). “You can’t go now because I can’t do this job alone without my adorable sister and also dad told me that I needed to protect you from danger before he disappear. I can’t do this without you, Drew.”
“Yes, you can, girl.”
“But, well, I don’t want to kill myself to find our missing daddy.” Reyna said.
Then suddenly a shuriken hit the door window, the ninja star crack the window and in the distance, I saw The Scorpio wearing his all-black suit.
