I never really thought I would be standing in front of her. I certainly didn’t think it would be with Nora. Oh how life throws us these curveballs. The vent system brought us straight to the leader of K.N.O.C.K.O.U.T. however Stella didn’t seem to be worried about us despite that we’re armed.
“Nora, Nora, Nora I should have known that you would be the one to bring him to me. You have always been my most faithful follower.” Stella crooned while smiling.
I gave Nora a sideways glance. That would explain how she knows so much about this place. I knew she ranked high but not this high.
“I didn’t bring you anyone. I only brought you a choice.” Nora replied boldly taking a step towards her.
“What choice is that?” She asked unable to help herself.
“Change the K.N.O.C.K.O.U.T. program so it can help everyone not just those who have the money to pay for protection.” Nora spoke steadily and evenly staying surprisingly calm.
“Or?” Stella quipped smirking.
“Step down and let someone who is willing to do the right thing take over.” She stated calmly staring her in the eyes as she approached her.
“What happens if I refuse?” She inquired with a slight giggle.
Nora gave me a smile as a strange look came over her face. “A surprise,” she smirked.
I glanced around the room to see what she could possibly have in mind and saw the ledge. The ledge had a orange glow to it as I looked at it linger I realized that it was lava. Of course there would be lava. I don’t want to know why they have lava in here.
“I don’t like surprises. Oh alright I’ll change the program.” She groaned.
“Liar.” Nora hissed as she took a step closer.
“How did you know?” She asked looking surprised.
“You just told me.” She snapped while staring at Stella.
“Did I?” She smirked while stepping forward.
“Shut up. You’ll never change.” She growled.
There was a moment of silence where they stared at each other waiting for the other one to make the first move. I knew Nora wouldn’t strike first but would Stella?
“Well you certainly have. You’ve changed into a traitor.” Stella remarked just before lunging at her.
As I went to help I thought I noticed some movement by the walls but then shook it off. I saw Nora glance at me before spinning and handcuffed Stella’s hands together.
“What are you going to do kill me?” Stella chuckled.
She ignored her and looked at me. “She activated them. There’s no way out now. I’m sorry.” Her eyes looked sad but derermined.
“Don’t be I wouldn’t take back a single moment. What we are doing here will live on even if we don’t.” I replied gently looking at her.
“The thing in the bag that we took from the armory can blow this whole place up. I was hoping we would be able to avoid it but if you haven’t noticed the walls are closing in on us literally. We aren’t making it out of this one Zizi.” She spoke as she lifted her bag up and revealed the round silver explosive device.
“No you can’t!” Stella screamed realizing what we had.
“We can push the button together. I’m just lucky I get to spend my last moments with you.” I replied feeling slightly scared but mostly calm.
“Together it is my friend.” She replied. “It’s been my pleasure.” She gave me a look and a smile while squeezing my hand, and we pushed the button together. There were a couple of beeps then a loud bang.
Plan completed. Finally.
The end.
