Chapter 22: Scars

The blue-clothed Chinese guy finally raises his head from his phone.

“You speak Chinese?” He says.

“Kind of.” I answer in Mandarin.

“Isn’t that impressive…?” Pronounces the one in red.

“My sister taught me.” I explain with a smile.

“The insane one?”

“I don’t have any other one…”

I can see Boobies and Abhi look at each other, confused.

“What the hell, you can speak Chinese?” She articulates while taking my temperature with a hand on my forehead.

“Nothing to show off, I can speak Chinese too!” Pouts the guy with the ridiculous mustache.

Boobies points her finger at him. “No, it’s amazing, it means we don’t need you anymore!”

“How incongruous!” He exclaims. “I’m perfectly indispensable!”

“Who the hell are they?” I ask.

“They’re from the Triads. But come downstairs, you’re not recovered yet.” Says Boobies, while pulling me to the computers’ room. “Abhi, make them more tea.”

“For fuck’s sake.” He curses.

“Would you have some red one?” Asks the mustache before the door closes.

“Wait, wait, wait. I want to talk with them! I love the Triads, it’s like a mafia gang, right? It’s like from anime and movies they’re always doing some epic dirty stuff, right? Let me see them!!” I cry.

“You’re going to see them a lot, it looks like they’re going to stay, so come with me! I need to put bandages on your wound.”

She pulls me downstairs and I keep weeping.

“Noooo, I don’t need bandages, look, I’m already pretty in shape, see how much I can shout, aaaaAAAAaaa, cough cough!”

“I regret ever caring for you.”

“Oooooh, you cared for me, Booba Fett, you’re so sweet!”

“Stop messing with me or I punch you in the guts. We need to talk about your sister too.”

“Oh my sister? So, you did meet with her! So what do you think? Isn’t she cool and strong? Do you think you can beat her?”

“She’s a psychopath.”

“Aren’t we all?”

We finally get back into the Batcave, and Boobies switch on the lights so I can finally notice that the old man Prince or something is actually dead.

“What happened to him?” I ask.

“He’s dead.”

“Isn’t that unfortunate!”

“Shut up. You’re going to help me get rid of his body later too.”

“Wow, it’s been ten minutes I woke up and I already want to go back to sleep!”

“Sit down on that chair.”

She points at the chair that’s in front of the different mannequins with all her pretty-looking clothes and grabs a small survival kit box from the shelves near the operation table.

“Remove the coat.”

“No way.”

“Give it to me.” She says, extending her hand.

“I’m a sensitive person…”

“Do it, or I take it by force.”

“Just give me the bandages, I’ll do it myself!!”

“I can’t count on you to do this!” She shouts while grabbing the coat.

“This is abuse! This is sexual harassment!”

“I already saw you when you were lying on the operation table! Stop being a child!”

“That’s even worse, I wasn’t consenting!”

“Would you have preferred to die?!”

“Maybe I did!!”

She stops pulling. “Are you serious about this?”

She looks at me with her concerned beautiful red eyes that seem like they’re about to tear up.

I thought you were stronger than this!

I can’t stand it and look away.

“I… just… I didn’t want anybody to see this.”

“Why? I have scars too, you know. I have a huge one on my back and one…”

“Yeah, but you’re strong… It’s not your family who did them because you were weak.”

“Actually, yes, it was. It’s my family who did that to me because I was weak.”

“What? You have a family outside of Abhi?”

“What do you think? I guess it wasn’t the normal kind of family, though.”

I take a long breath and finally give back the coat.

I feel so ashamed to show my body and feel like crying.

Yet, Boobies doesn’t say anything, puts the coat back on the hangers and begins to softly cover my wounds with the bandages.

With all the agitation, some blood slipped out of between the stitches and she carefully cleans it and disinfect it before pursuing.

It’s the first time someone has been taking care of me outside my sister, and she does it with such gentleness.

I just noticed she’s still in her leather combination, which means, she didn’t catch a single break since after she killed the green girl.

With her body so close to mine, I can smell her breathing and sweat, but it’s not displeasing.

She has been sweating so much for me…

Why? What does she think of me? Why would she make so much effort just for someone like me?

“Good. You’re done.” She says proudly.

“Where is my shirt?” I ask.

“Oh, Abhi had to cut it to save you.”

“I don’t have anything else to wear.”

“Well, well, that’s certainly a problem, but I’ll give you something, don’t worry. And when you feel better, we can go buy another one.” She says while going to look into her clothes.

“Why are you going this far? You barely know me. I’ve been nothing but a parasite.”

“I don’t think so, you’ve been pretty helpful during the mission.”

“Anything I did, a real professional could have done it better.”

“Are you thinking of your sister?” She says, giving a look above her shoulder.

I don’t want to answer yes.

But it seems she understood anyway.

“I would rather die than work with someone like her.”

She comes back with a purple blouse that she spreads out in front of me.

“Hmm, it’s still too big but it’s the smallest I have… It’s from the time I used to wear B cup… Well, try it.”

It looks way too big for me but I still sink my head inside.

It’s clearly oversized, it stretches all the way to my knees and the arms are almost twice as long as mine.

“Hahaha, you look like Abhi now! Well, your previous shirt was already too big for you, so it’s only an upgrade. Look, you make knots here and there, and then you pull the arms and fold them, and tadaa-.” She bursts in laughter.

I feel like I can’t dip lower than that so I’m not even ashamed anymore.

The soft refreshing smell of laundry is so agreeable…

“I want cocoa.” I speak.

“Fine, I’ll ask Abhi to make you some.”

She takes her phone and calls him with the speakers on.

“Abhi? Can you make some cocoa while you’re at it?”

“No, I’m sick of playing bartender. The stupid mustache guy also said ‘Since I’m useless and unwanted, I shall take my leave’ and left like a loser. I told him you won’t call him anymore and I think he cried.”

I think I never heard Boobies laugh so hard.

 

---

 

When I was still a soldier for the British army in India, I thought I was invincible.

With my squad, we used to be the most powerful in Asia, nothing could stop us.

We killed, we pilled and brought incredible wealth to our country.

We climbed the ladder by our own strength.

And if I knew that a single child would ruin everything!

We recruited a bunch of child soldiers from the Middle East and eastern Europe.

Some of them were too talented and difficult to control so we had to kill them.

This girl was one of them.

She came from eastern Europe, but was sold to us by a Middle East merchant.

He named her Bashmu.

She had killed her own parents at the age of 4 and could handle guns since she started to walk.

She was too good, it was scary.

She could decapitate children her age with a cold face and bombed an entire playground when we asked her.

She quickly became one of the strongest units in our squad.

My partners called her a snake even though I asked them to be nice with her.

She was too much of a precious element and I didn’t want her to abandon us.

I didn’t want to kill her.

When one of the guys wanted to play with her one night, she emasculated him and he cried like a pig.

He wept and sobbed like a pussy, and begged me to punish her.

But he put himself in his own misery so I blew his head up myself.

When I asked her if she was hurt, she said nothing.

She rarely spoke, after all.

But with time, I could tell what she had in mind.

I gave her food when she was hungry, and carried her weapons when she was too exhausted to do it herself.

For some time, I almost thought of myself as a good father.

But who was I to think that…? She was a true demon in human skin.

And I will never forget that night, where she wiped out our entire camp, annihilating everyone but me.

I barely survived with a hand and leg missing.

I spent the entire rest of my life tracking her.

And after getting some prothesis for my missing limbs and working as a mercenary, I finally found her.

How did she find shelter and protection on this island?

As a British war veteran, I have access to our intelligence network.

I made friends a long time ago with one of our finest agents.

An eccentric, wearing stupid Victorian clothes that make him impossible not to notice.

Yet, he’s the absolute best at making people lose their guards in front of him.

His façade is unbreakable and can make anyone trust him with a single sentence.

He’s currently spying on the Chinese Triads’ Shensu Shu gang and he’s the one who found out that the snake is working for the agency.

He gave me some occasion to kill her by making this Esmeralda girl contact me and buy my services.

And now, he finally found out her hideout and I only have to make some preparations/

This Esmeralda girl was pretty useful, she taught me a lot of things about the island and she could have been a good soldier if I had the time to train her.

But she died before I could teach her anything, she was too much in a hurry with her revenge and failed miserably.

Yet, she left something behind that I find much more interesting than anything she bore.

Her brother is already almost fully recovered.

And I will make him the strongest terminator ever.
