章節 43: Terrance?
Brooks showed up outside Cobra Kai and looked around. He was waiting for Kreese to show up but he didn't really get a time so he might have been early.
Fortunately!
Kreese walked out of the Dojo and looked at Brooks, smiling "Hey, kid." Brooks smiled "Yo! So where we going?" Kreese reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a pair of glasses, along with a piece of paper and started reading the address, saying "I called a cab, he should be here..."
Before looking around for said cab.
Brooks looked at the old man and his lips twitched. He walked over and said "Gramps, let me see the paper. I have a car you know..." Kreese looked at him and Brooks took the paper before plugging the address into his phone and showing Kreese, "See? Google Maps, pretty convenient, eh? Now we don't have to ride in a cab."
Speaking of which...
The cab pulled up and he rolled down the window, saying "Mr Kreese?" Brooks looked at the guy and said "Beat it. We don't need a cab." the guy looked angry and Brooks laughed "Get the fuck out of here, understand!?" the window rolled up and the guy drove away quickly.
Brooks sneered at the cab before turning to Kreese and grinning, "Let's go, Old man." as he walked to his car, pulling out his keys. Kreese looked at the car and was surprised, asking "Aren't you 17?" Brooks looked at him and chuckled "I also worked as a hitman, who's going to stop me?"
Kreese shook his head and walked over, saying "That's not a good thing, kid." Brooks shrugged and got in the car, unlocking the other side door. Kreese got in the car and closed the door, looking around inside, commenting "Very nice."
Brooks smiled happily, replying "I got a buddy to fix it up!" he put his phone on a holder and turned it to him before pointing to the stereo, adding "He even put in a new stereo." he turned his head to Kreese and asked "You have any song requests, old man?"
Kreese waved his hand and shook his head, Brooks nodded and put on Guns N' Roses before backing out and driving off.
A while later
Kreese had been silent, looking out the window, listening to the music. He turned his head and turned down the volume, asking "If you don't mind me asking, kid. How did you end up at that place anyway?" Brooks hummed to himself and looked to the sides of the intersection, replying "What place?"
Kreese said "That underground assassination organization."
Brooks fell silent for a few moments before finally saying "We needed money because my mom was a deadbeat and my dad left, so I had joined a gang in the beginning. I went around beating the shit out of people for money..."
He paused and Kreese looked at him as he sighed and continued seriously "Eventually, I beat up the wrong person. After that, I was beat by a bunch of guys and brought to one of the leaders of the Organization. He liked the way I looked at him and decided to have me work for him as a collector, as time passed I got more important jobs until I finally beat a guy to death."
He paused for a second before shaking his head and adding "After that they started calling me the Reaper and the boss gave me hitman jobs. The money was good so I continued doing it, I only gave my mom enough money to live, but she still blew it all in one go. Robby didn't know any better and took my mom's side when we were arguing, then I decided I was done."
Kreese asked "Done?" Brooks nodded and explained "I decided I wasn't going to pay for her bullshit anymore and cleaned my hands from the organization. They decided that I had done a pretty good job and after my boss pleaded for my young age, they told me to give back all the money I had earned... If I could do that, I could leave the life."
He smiled slightly and added "So I gave everything back, collected a bit to live off of, and left..." he paused and scratched his chin, "I never expected to go back, life is funny that way." Kreese turned to the road and replied "Sure is..."
He looked at Brooks from the corner of his eye and spoke again, "I had no idea you were so troubled." Brooks shrugged and answered "What are you gonna do? It is what it is. I know what I am, and I'm fine with it." he looked at Kreese and smiled "Everyone changes, why can't I change?"
Kreese fell silent before smiling "I guess you're right." Brooks snapped his fingers and said "Oh yeah! Thanks for getting me out." Kreese smiled "No problem, kid. I have an old war buddy in there so it was only a favor." he shook his head, it really wasn't a big deal for him.
Brooks still smiled "Well, I really appreciate it. I'd rather not kill people for the rest of my life." Kreese suddenly asked "What do you want to do then?" Brooks pursed his lips and thought about it, he hummed and answered "I don't really know. Haven't really thought about it to be honest..." he turned his head to Kreese and asked "What about you, old man?"
Kreese looked surprised and repeated "Me?" Brooks nodded and Kreese stayed silent for a while.
Brooks didn't mind and continued driving, Kreese replied "I don't quite know either." Brooks asked "Don't you have family? What do they do?" Kreese feel silent and shook his head, Brooks stayed quiet for a few seconds before saying "I'm sorry, I didn-"
Kreese waved and said "It's not what you think. I had a love once, she died a long time ago." he shook his head and sighed, Brooks asked "So you'll just stay at Cobra Kai forever?" Kreese hesitated for a moment before nodding "That's the plan." Brooks shook his head and Kreese asked "What?"
Brooks said "That's not a good plan, Old man. Are you going to waste away teaching kids how to fight?" Kreese explained "It's not wasting away, you're making a significant impact on the new generation's lives. Teaching them discipline and respect, Karate is a way of life."
Brooks nodded and said "Yeah but how long can you teach for? Is it worth teaching until you die?" he was confused himself, why would someone do that? Kreese shook his head and said "You don't understand because you're young. Cobra Kai is my life, my pride and joy. When you're older you'll understand the importance of teaching."
Brooks hummed "Maybe." Kreese shook his head and changed the subject "That Lily girl is your sister?" Brooks smiled and nodded, they started talking about Johnny and Ali. Kreese had a smile on his face talking about Johnny, he quite liked talking to Brooks.
A while later
They finally arrived at a mansion.
Brooks got out of the car and stretched his back, scratching his chin as he said "This is your friend's place? Sheesh!" Kreese looked up and replied "Seems like he's doing well." Brooks laughed "You can say that again, this guy's loaded!" Kreese chuckled and shook his head, saying "Let's go inside."
Brooks locked the car doors and walked through the mansion gates, following Kreese.
They came to the side of the mansion and saw a maid drop a glass.
Brooks commented "Thank god it's grass, eh? Also, why is she wearing heels on the grass... Maybe she has a brain problem?" Kreese waved him down and walked forward as a man appeared, saying "I'll get it for you." the maid smiled "Thank you, Mr. Silver."
The man smiled and looked up to see Kreese and Brooks, his smile smoothed out as he stared at Kreese blankly. Kreese walked towards him and the man said "What do you want." Kreese smiled "I'm not here to cause any trouble. I just want to catch up... You know, for old times s..." he turned to look around before seeing some sort of party going on.
Brooks looked around and whistled "Woah! So many fancy people!" Kreese looked at the man, who was silently staring at him as a woman walked over, asking "Everything okay, babe?" the man smiled at her and turned to Kreese, saying "This is John Kreese, an old friend."
The woman smiled and said "Well, any friend of Terrance is a friend of mine." she reached out her hand to Kreese and continued "Hi. I'm Shyanne." Kreese shook her hand and smiled, saying "Pleasure..."
He turned to the man and said "So... Terrance... You've actually tied the knot, eh?" Brooks looked at the man and his brain connected the dots, this man's name was Terrance Silver! He looked at the woman and shook his head, she was terribly ugly.
In reality she wasn't that ugly, just old.
Shyanne laughed softly and said "Oh! No... We're not married." she rubbed Terrance's back and smiled "Terrance and I are enjoying the journey for now." Brooks muttered "What the fuck does that mean?" Kreese gave him a look and he grinned, staying silent.
Silver looked at Brooks and squinted before looking back at Kreese, while Shyanne smiled "So, we were just having some hors d'oeuvres, how about you join us?" Silver and Kreese spoke at the same time "Joh was just stopping by/Oh that would be splendid!"
Silver and Kreese shared a glance and Shyanne smiled "Great! How about a mimosa?" Kreese smiled and lifted his fingers, replying "How about two?" Shyanne giggled and said "Ouu~" before leading him away.
Brooks and Silver were left, Brooks sighed "She didn't even ask me..." Silver looked at him and asked "Who are you?" Brooks looked at him and replied "Who's askin'?" Silver clicked his tongue and walked away as Brooks chuckled, following behind him.
