Liam came running back just seconds after he left.
"What happened, did you find anything?" I asked.
"No, I couldn't. Mike and Kylo are both in there with someone else".
"What? Another person?".
As soon as I said that, I heard the door creak followed by it slowly opening up. Mike, Kylo and one more guy walked out the door exiting the room . They all made their way towards the exit of the base and just stopped there. I was currently hiding around the main lounge of the base, but seeing this, I moved up closer behind them to hear what they were saying.
"Pleasure doing business with you" Kylo said as he handed the guy a large bag.
The other guy gave Kylo a suspicious looking grin and a bag in return right before he walked out.
"Scott, whatever that was. We have to figure it out, the mayor is giving his speech today. If our info is correct, Kylo is gonna do whatever he intends to do today! The speech is in four hours, we have to do something!" Liam exclaimed. I knew he was right, but I just didn't know what to do. I had been investigating everything for a while, but when the time came to act. I was just lost, only four hours left and I didn't even have a damn plan.
"Well, it's time" I heard Kylo say as he walked out the base. "Alright, I know what to do. We talk to Mike, with Kylo gone this is our best bet. Besides, he knows everything we need to know. All you have to do is bring him to the room in the corner, I'll handle the rest" Liam told me.
Of course this was a plan that could very well work, but there was a big chance things could go wrong. This caused me to be hesitant, but despite that I nodded and went over to Mike right away. It's not like I had a better plan right?
"Mike! Someone in the room, they have a gun and they're threatening Tim" I told him.
Mike's eyes lit up.
"I'll deal with it" he grumbled.
He then instantly ran over towards the room Liam was in with me trailing him from behind. "Alright, come inside" I told him once we finally made it. He walked in first and I quickly followed him in closing the door behind me.
"Where's the guy?" Mike asked.
I didn't respond, I just stood there looking him dead in the eye. Bang! Liam finally came in, hitting Mike in the head hard with his gun. Mike went down and I made sure to unarm him.
"What the heck are you doing!" he yelled.
"That's not important, what's important is the info we need" I explained angrily.
"I knew there was something off bout you, rookie. From the moment I saw you!" Mike yelled.
"Ya ya, now it's time for you to talk. What is Kylo planning on doing later today?" Liam asked.
"Damn, you two know bout that huh" Mike said laughing.
"Tell us what we want to know," I quietly told him.
"Why should I?" he asked.
Liam didn't wait another second to act, he grabbed both the guns he had, and aimed them straight towards Mike. but still, Mike wouldn't budge.
"You guys are gonna shoot me? Ya that's believable. Go ahead pull the trigger".
He was right, we weren't gonna pull the trigger, there was no way.
"I'll just search him" I said.
Liam reacted quickly, he pushed the guns pressing them tight against Mike's head. Once that was done, I went over to him and started searching. I went over from head to toe, but I could only find one thing. It was a little photo, crumpled and ripped. It was a photo with Mike and one more person laughing and smiling. I showed Liam the photo but he just looked disappointed. He was probably expecting something else, something more important.
"Put that down right now!" Mike demanded.
"Keep your mouth shut" Liam replied.
Well, Mike didn't keep his mouth shut, as a matter of fact he did the opposite. He just blew, I could see pure rage in his eyes. Why was he even getting triggered by us holding the photo? Maybe it was his weakness? If it was, I had to use it.
"Just tell us what we want to know" I responded in the most manner full way I could.
He looked desperate for some reason, and then he finally started talking.
"Well, you two knowing wouldn't change anything. So, I'll tell you. I'll tell you what happened, from the beginning" Mike said.
"Let's hear it," Liam replied.
"You guys helped me rob a bank, you remember that? Well, the money we got from the bank was used to pay the guy that just came in".
"What involvement does he have with all this?" I asked.
"To put it simply, he gave us a nuclear bomb".
My heart skipped a beat hearing those words. A nuclear bomb! What the heck did Kylo want with a nuclear bomb? '
"Only problem was it was basically nothing but an empty shell before. That's why we robbed the power supply".
"What?" I asked.
"Here, this should sum it up. We got a bomb that doesn't work. It needs fuel, you know, something to make it go KABOOM!".
"So you guys got the power supply so you could use it to fuel a nuclear bomb?".
Mike broke down in laughter hearing me say those words.
"It'll be fun seeing this city fall, won't it?".
"What does Kylo even wanna do with a bomb?" Liam asked.
"It's Kylo, what do you think he wants? Money, he uses the bomb as a threat, gets rich and dips".
"Why does he need a real bomb then, cant he use a fake one as a threat?" I asked.
"Oh that was me, I convinced him it was better to get a real one" Mike replied. "Why!" I yelled. "You'll know soon, don't worry" Mike said.
"Why do you care about helping him man, don't you see, he only cares about money!" I yelled.
"Everything will make sense soon. Don't you worry" Mike quietly replied.
"Well whatever, screw it. We already got the info we needed, now we just gotta deal with you" I said looking at Mike.
"Ya ya, deal with me. Let's see where that gets you" Mike said grinning.
BANG!
Liam smashed Mike in the back of his head, finally knocking him out.
"Well, that deals with him. Now, what do we do about the bomb?" I asked.
"It's almost time for the mayor's speech, go there and hold off Kylo. I'm gonna go and find out how to disarm the bomb. Once the bomb is dealt with, we can finally stop everything" Liam told me.
"Alright, let's stop all of this. It's about time we shut this all down and finish the mission. Kylo has been a menace for years, now we put him away" I said.
"Ya, good luck Scott" Liam said to me, sticking his hand out.
"Good luck man," I replied as I gripped his hand and shook it.
