    On Monday, after Blair went to work to ensure that Wren was working well with Zephyr, The Red Dragonfly Syndicate had finally gotten enough information on Blair to figure out where she lived. They then put that information to good use, kidnapping Femi to hold her for ransom. When Blair came home Monday evening, she panicked. Femi was just… gone. No note, the apartment had been ransacked, the guards that were supposed to do their jobs couldn’t remember what had happened, so there was no indication of who had taken her.

    Tuesday was a waiting game, filled with written plans of what Blair would if Femi was hurt. It mostly included people being burned alive, but there was also some threats of cutting the skin off of whoever it was that took Femi in the first place.

    On Wednesday came the cd.

    It was a nondescript looking thing, within one of two envelopes that came that day. Blair, after a long night of beating the shit out of people, napped for a couple hours before she watched it.  She regretted it immediately.

    The CD showed Femi and the Dragonfly Syndicate. The Dragonflies demanded $100,000 ransom for the mostly safe return of Blair’s girlfriend. Mostly because in the video, they cut off some of Femi’s hair, and ripped out a fingernail. That was what was within the second envelope. That was also when they developed the plan. Jason, their resident hacker, would first bring down all their technological defenses. Then, the rest of Gear would charge in and rescue Femi, the medics on standby to treat any and all injuries.

    On Thursday, she came into work ready to roll. "Darcy! I'm gonna kill them. Grab everyone let's go! Jason you know where they are right?"

    "Yes ma'am! They're at 405 Meadowcrest Lane, in the warehouse district."

    "Wonderful. Everyone gear up and move out! We're burning that place to the ground."

    "Yes ma'am!" The gang members scurried around getting everything before departure to the gang's location. On the ride everyone could feel the rage coming off of Blair in huge waves as hot as the desert sun in the middle of the dry season. While thoroughly terrified of her, they remained sharp knowing what happened last time. The van-turned-tank arrived at the location and Blair vaulted out of it before drawing her swords. Immediately members of the Red Dragonfly Syndicate surrounded her, expecting surrender since they far outnumbered gear. However, they were met with a pissed off Blair, and she started swinging before they could react. A sudden, "Charge!" Broke the tension and all of Gear except for the medics and the drivers jumped out or got to high ground and started murdering them. With a violent gleam in her eyes, Blair carved a path of blood and gore as she went to the entrance. Inside, she was met with more members of the Red Dragonfly Syndicate, and she plunged right in. When she arrived in the room where Femi was being held, she was a beast made of fury and determination, her one goal being to bring Femi back mostly unscathed. The boss cackles in front of the chair that Femi was tied to, holding a gun to her head.

    “Surrender or I kill her Blair."

    "No. I will not surrender and she will not die. In fact, she will be in my arms and you will be captured in 10."

    "You really think you can stop me?"

    "Yes. 9.” Blair took a step forward and was instantly by his side with a sword at his throat.

    "8"

    "If you think I'm surrendering you're wrong."

     "I don't intend on your surrender. 7."

     "If you think she'll love you after all this, you're wrong."

    "Well. Sorry to disappoint, but that won't happen. 6.” Suddenly, the mechanisms turned on the Dragonflies, catching them all in one fell swoop.

    "Thanks, Jason! 5."

    "This isn't over!"

    “Oh but it is, for you. 4" Blair twisted his arm and he was on the ground, disarmed with Blair towering over him.

    "I'll deal with you at base. But first, I’m feeling like having a barbecue. 3.”

    “You are a horrible person."

    "Well at least I don't hurt innocent people. 2. Any last words?"

    "I hate you." Blair grinned, a sadistic grin.

    “Oh come on. Nothing better? Well you're gonna hate me more! 1." And suddenly the world went black for the boss.

    "Tie him up for me, Darcy? I have to save my princess."

    "Sure thing Blair!" Blair went over to Femi and removed the gag and blindfold before she smoothly cut through the ropes holding her.

    "Hey Femi, you okay?" "I’ve been worse, and you know it."

    "Good. We're about to barbecue this place, sound good?"

   "I do love barbecue."

    "I’ll get you some. Just go to sleep for now. Alright love?"

     "Mmmmmmkay." And, within Blairs strong grasp once more, Femi fell into a deep slumber.

    "Light this place up, people!" Shouted Blair once everyone was out.

     “We're gonna barbecue the survivors. Tie them up. And get the acid, too! Better safe than sorry with these fuckers.” Gear lit the place up and placed the tied up members above the flames. As they burn acid is poured on the wound making them spasm from the pain. Their screams would have been heard for miles if they weren't gagged so Femi could rest. Blood poured from every orifice but they did not die until all that was left was a pile of bones and molten fleshy parts. As for the leader once they got back to base and Femi was getting medical care under heavy guard, he was slowly cut up as salt was poured and rubbed in every wound and every ten cuts Blair would douse him in acid. When she got to the organs she slowly burned them with a small candle, melting every last atom. His nerves were ripped from his body and he was thrown in boiling oil and freezing water multiple times. The last thing he heard before he died was,
