Derrick's Past Life 10

'Unfamiliar ceiling, it seems I survived, I have been stitched it seems, the patch work is okay but I feel sore all over' Shadow looked around at the unfamiliar yet simple room which only contained a bed, a table and chair.

'Blade, Li Fei, I will avenge both of you, I promise' Shadow said with tears in his eyes, his eyes were wet from all the cries and he just lied down there with no strength whatsoever.

"Hello young man I made sure I patched you up real good, the pain would subside soon, so there is no need for you to cry" A middle age woman walked into the room with a plate of food, it looked like porridge and it seems it was for Shadow.

"Who are you? and how did I get here?" Shadow asked trying to look vigilant, but he knew how bad his body was and he was just showing false bravado.

"What a rude young man, my children saw you collapse in the middle of the road almost dead and we saved you, you have been asleep for three days now, I don't know how you got those bullet wounds or what those weapons with you are for and I don't want to know either, once you are strong enough to leave please do" the middle age woman said, her tone was harsh like rescuing Shadow was a mistake in her part.

"I am sorry and thank you, I would leave as soon as I can" Shadow said in a melancholic tone, he was still feeling lost and can't think straight right now.

"Better, anyways it seems you have alot on your mind, I will leave you to it" the middle age woman said dropping the plate of porridge and preparing to leave.

"Please wait can you tell me where am I? and where are my clothes? before you leave" Shadow voice now had a tinge of respect within them, he now knew he was in debt with these people but he had his own priorities.

"You are currently in the village of Baracara in the country of Guyana in my little home, and your clothes were ripped and covered with blood, with all your weapons, we have washed them and you can take them before you leave, ohh before I forget there was a piece of paper left there, it was stained with a bit of blood but is still okay" the woman said and pointed at the paper close to the bed before apparently leaving the room.

Shadow sighed, this was the last thing Blade apparently gave him before jumping into his death, it wasn't even known if he was dead or alive right now.

Shadow picked up the letter from close to him in the bed, opened it and it read 'I just wrote this because I have a bad feeling about this mission, if this letter gets to you that means this mission has went haywire, this are the different locations my years of accumulated wealth were, just live a quiet peaceful life kid, don't look for the preparators, this is the best I can do for you as a father'

"Ahahaha hahaha" tears was running through his face and he was laughing also, "old man you have always been like this straight to the point, couldn't you have written a heart felt letter" Shadow said while tears was running through his eyes.

After getting healed up a bit after a week, Shadow thanked the family that helped him and promise to pay them back, he went back to Asia, after selling all his weapons that could be sold that were on him, he got enough money to go back.

He went back to the hideout and took everything of value there and left to Beijing, he stayed in his rented apartment until he was fully healed.

Shadow went to a payphone, and dialed a number "Hello I need your help"

The other side was silent for a while before saying "Shadow you are still alive, I heard all of you were slaughtered, sorry I can't help you and if I were you, I would go into hiding" the voice finished speaking and then the call went off.

"What the fuck, so all the organization was in cahoots, damn, what is so scary about the higher-ups" Shadow was indignant, he wouldn't give up, he made different calls to different contacts Blade had but they either cut the phone once they heard his voice or declined helping him.

He gave up and decided to do things his own way, with the amount of wealth he has, he could buy a small country, so he wasn't discouraged.

After packing his bags he began going to all the hideouts, he and Blade have lived these past years, the once he could remember, this abruptly took him three years, he gained information about the organization and saw that even if he had all the whole money in the world he couldn't topple them easily or if it was even possible to topple them, one faithful night, when he was about leaving one of the hideout he was ambushed by 10 men dressed in black.

"Do you guys have something for black clothes, I have been waiting for you motherfuckers" Shadow said with a smirk

"Your interference have been too much our orders is to bring you back alive" one of the men in black said.

"Alright try it if you can" with that Shadow brought out a dagger and a sword, the men also brought out their swords, the clash started, Shadow was clashing against 10 men alone, after clashing with them for a few minutes.

His expression changed, this were highly trained men, it seems, he had two choices now, which was to risk killing them all or just escaping out right.

Clang clang

The sounds of metal clashing against metal could be heard, Shadow was getting impatient he was being pushed back, until an opportunity was given to him something you should never do against an assassin leaving your neck open, Shadow immediately swing his sword with full force, splattering blood all around, leaving blood stain his face.

'one down nine more to go' he thought.
