RETURN OF THE BRUJO
CHAPTER FIVE
by

Kwai Chang Caine was still in Peter's apartment, watching
over his sleeping son when Kermit arrived, back from god knew where,
looking for his friend and partner. Caine answered the door and let
the ex-mercenary into the living room. Kermit was shocked when he
saw the lines that had deepened on Caine's face and there were bags
under the Shaolin's eyes.
"Caine, what is it, what's wrong?" Caine looked at his son's
friend and then back at the bedroom door.
"My son is being assailed again, from within. My friend, do
you remember the Brujo?" Kermit hadn't been in the city at the time
but had heard the story from both Peter and his father once he had
come home. Kermit's face suddenly went hard.
"You mean he's back and after Peter again?" Caine nodded.
He then looked at the 101s resident computer guru.
"My friend, I need your help. The Brujo wants my son to kill
someone who is coming to this city in three days but, I do not know
who it is. Can you help me? It will be someone important, someone
the city is preparing to welcome." Kermit nodded and, pulling out
his laptop, got to work.
Caine went into Peter's bedroom to check on his sleeping son
and saw that even now, his dreams were being invaded and, perhaps
manipulated. He started to lay a hand on the younger man's arm when
suddenly, Peter let out a yell of anger and his hands were locked
around his father's throat, trying to squeeze the life out of him.
Caine called out and suddenly Kermit was in the room, and, with an
apologetic look at Caine, clocked Peter on the back of the head.
Peter fell back unconscious and then, Kermit went to Caine,
who was coughing. Kermit led him back into the living room and got
him some water. Lo Sei appeared out of nowhere with a steaming cup
of tea and handed it to his friend. Caine sipped it as Kermit checked
on Peter again, making sure he hadn't hurt his young friend. Kermit
then came back out.
"Caine are you all right?" The elderly man looked up at
Kermit and smiled sadly.
"Yes, I am fine however, I had not realized how deep the
Brujo's hold on my son is. I fear for his soul." Kermit shook his
head then, turned back to his computer, continuing his search. Lo
Sei looked at his friend.
"Peter's help will be here shortly. All we have to do is
insure that you son does not leave this apartment for any reason, do
you understand?" Caine nodded as Lo Sei went and locked the door to
Peter's bedroom. There were no windows in the small bedroom or
bathroom so, they knew the only way Peter could leave was through the
door.
After a few more minutes, Kermit looked up from his laptop
with a look that could only be described as frightened, even for
Kermit. Caine laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you all right, my friend?" Kermit looked at both men and
swallowed hard. He then stood up and began pacing the room.
Finally, he turned to the two shaolin.
"Caine, the Brujo has decided to use Peter to try and
kill....The President of the United States. He's due here in two
days. He must want Peter to assassinate him."
