Maid to the Rescue - A KBTBB Fanfic
I have not posted in a looong time, but miss it! I will be going back, fixing some of my older posts (fix my writing, lol) Iâm still not a great writer and being a teacher takes a lot of work, but this is a nice escape from the world every once in a while. This is for one of the awesome people that have read my stuff and liked it (a thousand thank yous!)
This story is developing and this is the first part. I donât own the rights to Kissed by the Baddest Bidder, Voltage does. This is a fanfic for fun!
It has been a year since that fateful day in the lobby. God, my life was so different back then. I was always at the beck and call of âthe boysâ as I called them. My saviors as well as my proverbial pains in the rear. There are times I miss them, and others when I wish we could have all met under different circumstances.
You see, more than a year ago I use to be a maid at a famous hotel called the Tres Spades. A hotspot in Tokyo and one of the many business ventures of my former supposed boyfriend, Eisuke Ichinomiya.
My life was put in danger more times than what I wouldâve liked during our pretend relationship; a situation that also opened up backlash from some of the employees at the hotel. Eisuke decided he didnât want to see me suffer and thus ended our affair in grand-fashion in front of the staff and clients. This gesture alone successfully put an end to relentless bullying in less than a few seconds.Â
Even though I completely understood the situation and told myself countless of times that I was fine, it still hurt. Â Eisuke and I had gotten close during our time together and even felt like barriers he had put up were beginning to cease. But enough was enough, I was tired of being labeled âplain,â âstupid,â and other things by people. I wanted to feel like a person of worth that could stand on her own two feet. I took Eisukeâs breakup announcement as my chance to run and do what I have always neglected to do, self-care and growth.
That day, I stood up my co-worker on a date, packed my bags with only my essential needs, emptied my savings jar and fled. I tried to be smart about it, ditched my identity, left the money Eisuke had deposited in account untouched, destroyed my phone, you name it. Â I knew the boys would eventually seek me out, but I needed time.
I had made a friend  through Chisato who helped me create a new identity and assisted me with finding a small place to live in that was well hidden. Eventually, Gage, as he called himself, had me join a few of his friends. Together we formed a small âgangâ of sorts. Our activities may have not always been on the legal side of things, but they are just and necessary.Â
We have become a family and enjoy working with each other, but I know that eventually I have to go back to my old life and start anew. Iâm no longer that shy girl who followed others blindly and gave up so much of herself. Iâm strong, in fact, I always was; I just never could find the time to build my confidence. Those days are gone and Iâm ready for what I must face.
I wipe the sweat off my brow as I wait on top of this old, dilapidated roof and stare at my computer screen. Enough reminiscing, time for action. âSiren! Itâs time!â I hear the command through my earpiece and enter a code in the computer. âEntered, security systems are down, including firewall. Lucy, begin download.â I give the command and hear âroger!â from my friend Lucy.
A beeping sound goes off on my computer 2 minutes later and I know our time is up. âAlright everyone, itâs 2:00 a.m. and as planned they have caught on. My location has been made, initiating cleanup sequence, letâs roll!â
I pull a tab on my computer that I had installed to a small little bomb, which I had put together and crafted into my laptopâs hard drive earlier in the day. My 20 second countdown begins as I reconnect my harness to the rope and slide down to another rooftop across the way. I enter the stairs through the roof access and quickly make my way down. Through the windows of the stairwell. I can see dark figures running towards the building I just had been in. Goodbye jerks! Iâm gone and out of sight.
I take dark alley ways and finally make it to my scooter and drive away. Iâve gotten so used to the adrenaline rush of it all that I donât panic anymore.
A few minutes later I make it to the warehouse with all the others.Â
âSiren! Great job girl! We got the assholes!â Gage comes up to me and high fives me as I dismount my scooter. I take off my helmet and breathe in the air, letting that wonderful feeling of accomplishment settle in.
âI canât believe that we were able to pull it off this time! Did Lucy download all the files we needed?â I ask and Gage smiles widely, âthat and more my friend. We found that the company has a connection to a crazy cult-like organization called AID. We will unleash the companyâs doings to the media and let that fire start and take over. We have finally avenged Nyx!â He starts to do his little victory dance around my scooter as the rest of the gang shows up.
Nyx is a fellow member of ours that had been employed by a major corporation. She was great at her job and handled the accounting for her employer. Unfortunately, the corporation went under new leadership and things went awry quickly. Looking for a scapegoat, they shifted the blame on our friend that we refer to as âNyxâ and she was arrested and charged. Tonight, we took the information we needed to clear her name and set her free.
We all move to the day room area and  take a beer in celebration relaxing on our old worn-out couch. âSiren, I think itâs time for you to also clear your name and face your destiny.â Gage whispers to me as he takes a seat next to me. Of course, the others pick up what we are talking about and quickly get excited.
âYes Siren! Itâs time for you to conquer your love!â Lucy states happily. I laugh and throw a pillow at her from the couch. âI know, I know and I feel ready to go back and face it all; but remember, I must do it on my own."Â
We continue to talk about plans that weâve all made since we got to the sanctuary. Gage is  a computer programming specialist and professor in real life. He took us in, taught us everything we know about computers, hacking, etc. Some of us in the group specialize in other things and so we learned from each other how to fight (thanks to "Netâ), weaponry (thanks to âLucy), languages (thanks to "Nikiaâ) and the hotel industry/customer relations, thanks to yours truly.
Weâve kept our names a secret from each other in order to teach ourselves to protect our identities. Not once have we ever revealed our real names, except to the professor, Gage.Â
Each one of us had a rough patch in life and ended up here. Once we solve our past issues and restore our names, we move on with our lives with the promise to help others along the way. A âpay it forwardâ if you will.
After an hour of celebrating we begin to head out to go home and rest. Gage taps me on the shoulder and asks me to stay behind to talk. âLisa, listen, itâs been a year for you already and I agree with the rest of the family, itâs time for you to face your past.â I had a feeling he wouldnât let the topic slide. âI know Gage, and trust me, Iâve been working on it.â Gage smiles and motions for me to follow him to the kitchen area where he makes some coffee for the both of us. âIâm sure you have researched your friends plenty and have prepared."Â
"Yes, I sure have. With the information from tonight, not only do we have evidence to free Nyx, but I have evidence to help out one of my friends and expose some of the corruption in his workplace. I also have found some other information about my âexâ that tells me there is danger up ahead.â
Gage sits back and sighs. âOh sweetheart, thereâs so much going on with each one of those men. In fact, I just found out somethingâŚâ heâs cut off by the sound of the ringer coming from my burner phone. I gasp and look at the professor. âAnswer it, quickly!â
Chisatoâs ID appears on the screen and I immediately pick up. âSiren! Listen to me please. Theyâre all gone. Eisuke, Mamo, Baba, Soryu and Ota. We all thought they were on a trip, but itâs been two days!â The news hit me like a cold shower. âChisato, please, calm down. Iâll be there tomorrow afternoon. Take the chip out of that phone, break it and the phone and throw it away. Donât worry.â The call ends abruptly and I take a deep breath and look at Gage.
âTold you Lisa, itâs time. Do you know who you are up against?â Without a doubt I do. I feel my blood rush and my fists tighten. âGage, I can do it. The masked man, AID, many of these people that the guys have come up against have one person in common, the Prime Minister.â Gage smiles and leans forward holding my hands. âWeâll help you with the evidence to take him down. Your friends wonât see the connection because theyâre dealing with the middle-man again.â
âGage, I donât want to get any of you in troubleâŚâ he pats my hands. âLisa, you know weâll be completely anonymous when releasing the information and helping you. Weâll all be worried about you going in to the line of fire, but youâre the most skilled in sneaking around and fighting. I know you can do this!â The professor stands up, gives me a kiss on the forehead and puts up our empty coffee cups.
âGage, I canât ever begin to pay you back for everything youâve done for me. Thank you, thank you so incredibly much for taking me under your tutelage and helping me grow.â I bow to him and he laughs. âLisa, youâve helped many people while being in this group and this isnât goodbye dear. I may be in my 50âs, but Iâm not dying yet.â I laugh and attack him with a hug. âNo one will die, Iâll make sure of it.â
He pats my back and releases me from the hug. âOkay sweetheart, go get some rest and get ready, tomorrow is another day!â
************************************
Back in TokyoâŚ.
âEisuke! Wake up, come on! Shake it off! Damn this shit!â Soryu curses as he struggles against his tight restraints. âSâŚSor⌠what the fuck is going on?â States Baba as he begins to wake up from his drug induced stupor. âI donât know, but it looks like we were all drugged at the party and here we are. Who the fuck could havd done this?â
âMaybe it was one of your gang rivals Sorâ said Ota as he licked his dry lips and shook his head in an effort to re-stabilize his sight. âNot one of mine; this is not their typical ammo.â Rustling noises come from one of the corners of their dark enclosure. âNah kid, at this stage, it could be either Baba or Eisukeâs enemies. What the actual fuck did they give us? My head is 'bout to rip the fuck open!â
Groans come from the center of the room as Eisuke comes to. âWhat the fuck?â Soryu rolls his eyes, âwe just established that part. Do you have any bad deals going on right now? Anything we should know?â Eisuke shakes his head and tries to re-moisturize his dry mouth. âThe usual. Maybe that masked freak is at it again? Whoever it is, I wasnât anticipating this, and usually I can see it a mile away. This is bigger.â
âFor sure it wasnât me. Iâve been in France for a monthâ said Baba. âWell, whoever the fuck it is, they have a flair for the dramatic. They should have just taken us out of the equation if they were able to get all of us.â stated Eisuke.
The lights turned on and the mensâ eyes sting with the introduction of the harsh brightness. âSo you are awake, perfect! Iâll notify the boss soon.â Said a man with a familiar voice as he entered the large warehouse area. The men re-adjust their sight and look upon their captor. âI called it! Masked dude it is!â said Ota.
âOh buddy, Iâve been nothing but a pawn in this and will continue to be to fulfill my bossâs every desire. Unfortunately, heâs been a busy body, so I will entertain you until heâs ready. Continue to enjoy your accommodations men, youâre here for the long haul.â The man laughs and quickly walks away leaving the bidders in their metal chairs with what seems to be mechanized handcuffs, the likes they had never seen before.
