Zel was pushed to his knees by two grim giants. He was in pain, but his only care was for the red head who's location still remained a mystery.
That must be their boss. zel thought as he glared at the man seated before him.
"So this is Zelgadis greywolf." rezo spoke. "You've been quite the thorn in my side. Disrupting my business. Murdering my right hand man."
"Where's Lina."
Rezo smiled, slightly. "She's coming, don't you fret; And I do believe she has a special surprise for you."
The door opened and the soft click of heels could be heard entering the room.
"Ah there you are my sweet. Come here, I have someone I'd like to introduce to you." Rezo bade.
"Of course Rezo." Lina shashade over to Rezo and kissed him. She sat on the edge of the desk, the black silk of her dress riding up to show her shapely calves.
"Lina my sweet. This is Zelgadis Greywolf."
zel felt his world fall apart. he stared in shock at the women he'd fallen in love with, sworn he'd protect, and risked everything for. All this time... his brain repaeted uselessly. A single tear rolled down his face as his poor heart shattered into pieces.
"Lina" he whispered and looked away.
Rezo laughed at the pitious Zel. "Don't feel so bad Zelgadis. She was the perfect weapon against you." he mocked running a hand down her arm. "For no man could resist her charms."
Lina smiled at Rezo, amused by his joke. "Lina, sweet heart, pour me somthing would you?"
"Sure Rezo. What ever you like." she purred and scooted off the desk towards the small table holding the brandy. Zel's eyes followed her, as if against his will. She poured a healthy glass and carried it over to Rezo.
"Cheers." he toasted Zel, before downing the liquid. "Now Zelgadis, you're in for a real treat. For you exicutioner will be non other than the lovely Lina herself."
Rezo opened the desk drawer and removed the small hand gun, handing it over to the waiting female. She chaecked the Couger D Mini, handling it to her satisfaction, and began her slow march over to Zel.
Zel closed his eyes and bowed his head in defeat.
"Lina." Rezo's soft voice called out. Lina turned to see him standing on his feet, clutching his chest in pain. he called her once more before he collapsed.
"Rezo!" Lina cried, and turning to the guards shouted, "Don't just stand there your Fools! HELP HIM!!"
The guards jummped at her angrey comand and rushed past, forgetting their charge. Zel opened his eyes in shock and saw Lina turn, aim the gun, and firing two shots, kill the henchmen dead.
"Zel" she cried, snapping him out of his daze.
"Lina? Wha?"
"Come on Zel, let's go!" she ordered, dragging him to his feet and out of the rrom.
"But.. but.. but Lina how? Why?" Zel continued, desperate for her answer.
"Zel really. Do you think I'd agree to marry just anyone?" she smiled.
Zel smiled back, and the couple hurried to make thier escape, leaving behind a cold, elegant room. It's stillness complete, and leather interior decorated with three corpses and a small empty yellow vile.
