CHAPTER 273 SLEEPY

CHAPTER 273 SLEEPY

I woke up as a knife tried to stab into me. Turning to the side I grabbed the arm and with hardly any effort I broke the wrist of the person holding the knife. They cried out waking Midnight as I kneed them in the face. Teeth breaking from the blow a man in the doorway pulled a gun out.

I rolled off the bed as he aimed it at me. Acting on instinct I grabbed the night stand and threw it at him hard. His gun was knocked out of the way as the wood nightstand busted on him. The man with the knife recovered but I swept his feet out from under him. Rolling over him I made it to the guy with the gun as he aimed it at me once more. Hitting him hard in the gut he doubled over in pain as a shot rang out.

The bullet imbedded in the floor as I grabbed the man’s head and pulled it into my knee. His nose broke as he dropped to the ground.

“What the fuck!” Midnight yelled.

“Let’s go, dear,” I said, waving her over to me. She nodded and rushed over to me. Grabbing her hand she pulled away as she went for her blonde wig.

“I was wearing it for a reason,” she noted. I nodded and we were running out of the hotel room hand in hand. Outside were 2 more guys, one I accidentally hit with the door. Then realizing it was a bad guy I really hit him with it. Knocking him back the other one pulled a gun but Midnight moved forward, twisting the man’s arm behind his back. Pressuring the arm the man dropped the gun.

I grabbed the older man’s tie and pulled it up. Forcing him to struggle for air as I held him up by it. “Who the fuck are you? And what do you want with us!?”

“We just want her,” he said through choking breath.

“Too bad,” I growled. Punching him in the diaphragm he struggled for air as I pulled him down the hall with us. “Take us to whoever wants us.”

“Honey,” Midnight said. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” I guessed she said honey since we still had no idea what our names were.

“We are kicking their asses. Let’s figure it out, and have them fix whatever they did to us,” I said. Midnight didn’t say anything. Running ahead she hit the elevator button and we headed down.

In the lobby I didn’t notice anyone out of place. “Car?” I asked the man struggling to breathe.

He coughed, nudging his head forward. We came out to find a nice black Mercedes. Inside was a driver. I handed off our prisoner to Midnight and went to the driver’s side. Pulling the man out I lifted him by his neck easily. Then tossed him into a pillar that held up the rain guard over our heads.

“Honey, maybe you should be more gentle,” Midnight said.

“These guys tried to kill me,” I said. “They get what they get. You drive,” I ordered our hostage. From how easily I threw the other man this guy didn’t fight me much. I moved to sit behind him and Midnight moved next to me.

“What’s the plan?” She asked, nervous.

“No idea,” I mumbled. My hand moved to the hostage’s neck. Ready to squeeze if I needed to. His eyes widened as he looked back at me through the rearview. “Why did your guys try to kill me? Do you want just her?”

“Uh she is the heir to Ishio,” he said nervously. “Just a kidnapping.”

“Fuck,” Midnight said. “I’m a princess?”

“No, a you’re um dad owns a lot here. And that’s all I know,” he said.

“You know a hell of a lot more than that. You were one of the guys chasing us earlier,” I said. My hand began to squeeze the back of his neck. “What happened to us?”

“It’s uh Highleer’s quirk,” he said quickly. “She can make people lose their memories.” Midnight and I let out a sigh. for new novels

“Walk us through what happened yesterday, or I break your neck,” I said with as much vehemence as I could put into my voice.

Midnight and I on the private jet. Landing, her walking me through the plan, arriving at the hotel. They got the reservation mixed up and thought we were husband and wife. It wasn’t worth the effort to try to fix it. We got to our room and gameplanned. We were supposed to visit a few jewelry stores. We had been to a few one day. No real leads, the next day we went to the seedier ones. Trying to find a lead on where the stolen diamonds were being sold to. We had received some help from local police, but not much.

Finally a lead we walked out of the jewelry store only to be ambushed. I got us out of there but we didn’t know the Highleer girl was one of them. She touched us as we escaped, and I remembered the rest.

“Goddammit,” I said, interrupting the man.

“My words exactly. Shin, pillow talk,” Midnight said. I nodded and held my breath. That was the signal for when she was going to use her quirk, Somnambulist. She was able to release an invisible gas that put people to sleep. It only took a few minutes. She expelled enough out to put an elephant to sleep. The lackeys and boss man dropped to the ground. The big guy noticed something off and moved for her.

Melting through the cuffs holding me down I jumped forward hitting him hard in the face. My rage was built up enough and he went down. Not out, I was on him again. Kicking him for all I was worth. He flew a good 10 feet away and landed hard, finally out.

“You put us to sleep so freaking much,” I grumbled as I walked over to her.

“I didn’t mean to!” She yelled. “I didn’t know I had a quirk.” My fingers melted the locks for the cuffs at her wrists. “This maybe wouldn’t have happened if you just let them take us in the first place!”

“They had guns!” I yelled. Midnight grumbled, searching the boss man for a cell phone. Punching in some numbers she gave me an annoyed look as I started piling the downed men together.

“Yes, this is Ishio. We have a situation...” She was soon explaining where we were and it didn’t take long for the building to become surrounded. Midnight and I disappeared, catching one of the local police up with the situation. It took time but we were eventually let go.

“Why did they want you, anyway?” I asked as a policeman drove us to our hotel.

“Who knows. He did his big reveal when I was getting my memories back,” she said.

“That freaking sucked,” I said, letting out a sigh. I eyed her up and down. Further away in the seat I was a little disappointed. “You sure you don’t need another nap on me?”

“Shut up,” she grumbled, her face blushing. “I can’t believe I thought you were my husband.”

“What? I make a very good husband,” I assured. “We could keep playing house. Sounds like a fun time.”

“Fuck you,” she mumbled. “Don’t think I forgot you slept with my sister.”

“True,” I said, laughing. “She slept with your boyfriend. Maybe you can get back at her with me.”

Her head slowly turned to face me. “I will kill you if you breathe a word of this to anyone,” she said.

“Oh come on, mistress,” I said. Risking it I grabbed her hand. Pulling her over to me she fought me for a moment, but I was strong. I released her when she was sitting next to me once more. My arm going over her shoulder she didn’t scratch or bite me, which I thought was a good enough sign. “I’m your ever faithful bodyguard. I won’t tell your secrets.” I pulled her a little closer. She fought for a moment but then leaned into me a little. Stiff but relaxing as we made our way through town once more.

As she let out a sigh she nuzzled up to me. “What was that language thing, anyway? You really thought you were speaking English?”

“No idea, must have been part of her quirk,” I lied. We quieted and she repositioned her head becoming more comfortable. Eventually we made it to the hotel, but unfortunately she decided to sleep alone. Not that it wasn’t a bad thing. I was a shadow clone after all. The mind of Weston, but the sex drive of a eunuch, I knew my main body would appreciate the progress I made with her.

We got on a plane the next day. Midnight didn’t fight laying next to me this time. A large private jet all to ourselves she opted to sleep next to me. Cuddling up to me I wondered how to move forward. I was sure she would get another mission for me in the future. Next time Weston wouldn’t be able to put a clone in to do the work. He might actually get lucky.

When the plane landed, Midnight was quiet. Thanking me as she dropped me off at UA I turned around and ended my existence when she was far enough away. My memories going to the main body he had a lot of catching up to do. Maybe he could gleam more from the memories we got about when we arrived in the halls.
