Changing The Past
THREE YEARS AGO
Kano stood behind a wall that was hiding him from the Special Forces agents that were on the other side. He peered through a small chink in the wall. There were two of them, both were men. He didn’t recognize either of them. But he did know that he had killed them once. The time machine worked.
He pulled a knife out of his pocket. It was long and sharp, the way he liked them. He stepped out from behind the wall. Neither of the men noticed him. He grabbed on of the men from behind and silently slit his throat. Kano let the man fall on the ground, he still held onto the knife. The other man turned around and was stabbed in the chest.
"Well that takes care of these two." He heard footsteps and ducked back behind the wall. Two more "cops" appeared out of nowhere. One was a man with black hair and dark green eyes. The other one was his partner, a woman with long blonde hair and eyes the color of saphires. Kano recognized her as Sonya Blade, his worst enemy.
"Oh my god, Eric, come look at this." She kneeled besides the guy with the slit throat. "Who would do something like this?" she stood up and turned around to face him.
"I don’t know but these are the last two guys other then us." He had a weird look on his face. "Everyone else is dead."
"What about Jax?" she looked genuinely worried.
"I don’t know. I hope he’s still alive." Sonya closed her eyes. Eric put his arm around her. "Don’t worry, I’m sure he’s OK."
"I hope so. I hate losing people I care about. It gets harder every time. Eric pulled her closer, and she kissed him on the lips. Kano took that as his cue to reveal himself. He stepped out, this time not as silently.
"Ahh now isn’t this sweet? I think I’m gonna cry." He said sarcastically." Sonya turned around and stared at him. Eric kept his arm around her.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Do you really wanna know?" Sonya stepped in front of Eric, as though to shield him from something.
"I don’t know who this guy is, but I have a bad feeling about him." She whispered rather loudly to Eric. She turned to Kano. "Listen pal I don’t know who you are, but you better tell me before I’m forced to take you to jail."
"Ooh I’m scared." Sonya took out a pair of handcuffs and stepped towards him. Kano held up his hands. "Ooh handcuffs, getting a little kinky are we?" Sonya glared at him.
"Fucking bastard. Eric could you hand me my gun." She turned around when there was no reply. "Eric?" Kano pitched forward, grabbing her from behind and putting his arm on her neck. He squeezed her neck harder, making her gasp for air. He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Your partner is being executed as we speak. I could kill you now, but I have a better use for you." She grabbed at his hand, trying to take it off her neck. But everything was already turning red to her. He held onto her neck until she went limp. He grabbed her handcuffs off the floor and handcuffed her hands behind her back. He then lifted over his left shoulder and ran out of the room. When he reached the outside, he turned around and pressed a button on his little remote control thing. The whole place blew up. He set Sonya down on the ground for a while and rubbed his sore shoulder.
"Damn you may not be heavy, but it’s really hard to run while holding you." He lifted her up on his other shoulder and walked over to his small car which had been hidden behind some bushes. He opened the trunk and shoved her in, not trying to be gentle with her. He slammed the trunk closed and then climbed into the driver seat of the car. He started the car and drove away, watching in the rear view mirror as a bunch of police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks arrived. Ten Minutes too late he thought triumphantly.
