Part 3

     We walked through the gates and into the empty compound. We saw two male guards dressed in black and wielding a blaster each. We walked up to them and we were ordered to stop. They looked at us squarely in the eyes and told us that they were going to search us.
     " Excuse me?", asked Eve," Don't you know that we are close friends to your boss?".
     " The boss himself ordered us to do so", replied one of the guards.
     On hearing this, Eve sighed and spread her arms horizontally. I did the same as well. The guards searched our bodies and took away our weapons. They did of course stole the chance to touch our butts. The one searching me was a son of a bitch. He dared to touch my breasts and robbed them with his filthy hands to his satisfaction, letting out the word," Damn!". I was so annoyed that I kicked him in the balls and gave him a headbutt. He fell to the ground and groaned in pains. Both Eve and the other guard giggled at this.
     The guards let us in, with that asshole still suffering from my attack. They escorted us to an elevator which took us underground into a wide space. Pete Louis, who sat comfortably on some kind of throne with a statue of a lion on both sides, smiled at the sight of us. Eve didn't like that smile. It was that type of smile that told someone that the other person had something ugly going on in his mind.
     " Hello girls", greeted Pete," How are y'all doing?".
     " Everything's really isn't working out well right now Pete", replied Eve.
     " Is it because Deathblade's dead?".
     Eve kept mute for awhile before saying," Yes, because he's dead".
     " Who killed him Eve?".
     " His brother. He goes by the name of Serpent Barnes. He attacked us with a group of men and--".
     " When I ask a question, I want the real cause of the answer, not the answer itself", interrupted Pete.
     " What do you mean Pete?".
     " That same day that Kevin was burned alive, one of his men came to me and explained all I needed to know about cause of the missing blutonium and the death of my best friend. He told me that she", he said and pointed his right finger at me, while his men immediately pointed their weapons at me," Is the cause of our misfortune".
     " No Pete", said Eve," She's innocent of these crimes. Someone attacked her on that faithful day and implanted a bug in her head, causing her to fire the bazooka. In fact, Navada has never wield a bazooka before, so how the hell would she fire it in the first place?".
     " Don't ask me ask her".
     " Who told you all these anyway?".
     " I think you already know him".
     Eve looked to her right and saw someone leaving the shadows so as to meet them. Both of us were shocked to see Knives coming out. He held a knife in his left hand as always, tossing it upwards and always catching it by the handle. He forgot about Eve and concentrated himself on me. I could see in his eyes the thirst for vengence.
     " Glad you managed to come Eve", said Knives without removing his eyes off me.
     " Is that what this is about? Revenge?", questioned Eve.
     " You wouldn't understand Eve. Look at her. She's glad that she now remembers huh? How she murdered the man who saved her from death. You're the most ungrateful person I've ever met, backstabbing people to suit your own interest. And where did they lead you? Back to me".
     " Enough Knives!".
     " Silence everyone!", ordered Pete," I've heard enough from the both of you. This is how we are going to settle it. These two will fight to the death. The winner is the one telling the truth".
     " What? How is that just Pete?", asked Eve.
     " Do they agree to this challenge?", Pete asked ignoring Eve's question.
     " I accept this challenge", said the devilish Knives with a grin.
     " So do I", I said confidently.
     " What!", exclaimed Eve. She walked up to me and whispered," What are you think you are doing?".
     " Its the only way Eve. He won't rest until he sees me dead".
     " I'm concerned about your life Sarah. You know that he'll make sure you death wouldn't be a pleasant one".
     " Then lets see who dies first shall we?".
     Eve perceived that I wanted the fight, so she let me be. Pete himself handed me a knife with a dragon-like handle, while Knives had loads of knives beneath his clothes.
     " Hope I won't have to bury your corpse", said Pete.
     " Hope you dug out a grave for him", I replied.
     He smiled at my reply and went back to sit on his throne.
     " Let the challenge begin", declared Pete.
     Knives wasted no time. He threw six knives at me and ran towards me with two knives in his hands.
