Street Fighter 2

The White Angel: part 4

Four nights later, a dozen police cars were near Wan Chai road in Causeway bay, along with a police van. Chun Li stepped out of the car, with Cammy stepping out with her from the backseat.
A couple of the policemen questioned the idea of allowing the eighteen year old girl to be there, but they didn't question any further when the chief told them that she was here as part of an important operation. Besides, when they saw her, they kept their mouths shut and just looked at the pretty lady. Cammy's admirers went largely unnoticed.
Chun Li was part of the operation to flush the drugs gang out. The police had covered every exit available, so if her squad was spotted, they would have to fight back, there was no hope of escape.
Chun Li, who was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, a change from her traditional kung-fu dress uniform, was busy strapping the bullet-proof vest around her body. Cammy was watching her as she pulled up the velcro.
"Are you going to be all right?"
"Sure. I've done this sort of thing many times before."
"Really?" Cammy asked without the slightest hint of conviction.
"Okay, once before. But, hey. I survived!"
Cammy's face remained unconvinced, as Chun Li put the gas mask on.

Along with a number of police agents, Chun Li carried her silenced Heckler and Koch MP5K, her Beretta 92F holstered as a backup weapon. The team walked silently up the stairs, making sure to keep the noise down to as little as possible. The steps creaked as the Interpol agents crept up the stairs.
One of the Interpol agents carried a HK69A1 grenade launcher which would be used to smoke out the gang members before the agents would storm in and arrest them.
"Easy, boys. We're almost there." Chun Li quietly said through her intercom.
They came up to the door the stall-holder informed them that housed the drug dealers. Chun Li raised her MP5K to her head, muttered a few words to the agent with the grenade launcher, and then stood back. The grenade launcher cocked the gun so that the tube was open, then placed a non-lethal round into the chamber with a satisfying 'shoom'. He closed the chamber, raised the gun, and then kicked the door. Immediately he fired the grenade into the apartment, the smoke filling up all the rooms. Then the agents burst in.
"FREEZE! DROP YOUR WEAPONS!" Chun Li cried as they stormed in.
They ran in, checked all of the rooms…..but no-one was there.
Chun Li was surprised and annoyed. She was sure that this was the room the stall-holder told Interpol about. An agent saw the drugs gang walk into the building earlier this evening.
"Where the hell are they?"

Inside the van, Cammy watched as the agents searched everywhere for the drug-dealers, but couldn't find anything.
"Chun Li," the lieutenant who was guiding them asked, "are you sure this is the right place?"
"Positive. Arthers just found a pile of Heroin in one of the drawers, and there was some cocaine on the table when we burst anyone, we just can't find the owners."
Suddenly, Cammy noticed that from one of the cupboards, she thought she saw a person with a gasmask holding a gun. Her eyes widened as she did see him move towards Lee. She pointed at the screen.
"Sir, there's someone in the cupboard with a gun about to attack Lee."
"Wha? LEE, there's someone behind you!"

The man shot Lee three times in the back, and the agent slumped down. The rest of the agents suddenly ran to where Lee was. Chun Li launched into a flying kick, kicking the man direct into the head. Suddenly, more drug dealers burst inside, and the agents were surrounded.
"It's a goddamn trap!" realised Chun Li. A gunfight ensued.
Several of the agents were injured, and couldn't fight, two more agents were killed. A couple of the drug dealers were shot, but they had the upper hand with the surprise. In the end, two of the drug dealers were left, and Chun Li, although she tried to fight them off, was overpowered in the end.

Cammy ran out of the van door, to see Chun Li being escorted out of the apartment with the two gang-members. One had a hold of Chun Li, her arms tied behind her back, and her Beretta pointed to her head.
"Don't do anything stupid, or the pretty lady's gonna get it in the head."
The lieutenant held up the megaphone to his mouth. "What do you want?"
"We want safe passage out of here. And we want to keep this lady to do what we like to her."
"You'd better not, you bastards." answered Chun Li.
The man holding her twisted her arm. "Shut up!"
A rage entered Cammy as she saw what these two gang-members were doing to Chun Li. She started to remember something she could do when she was under Bison's control.
She leapt over the police barrier and ran towards the gun-members.
The gun member who held the gun instantly recognized the young girl. Unknown to the stall-keeper, he was also alive, although seriously beaten when Shadowloo betrayed his gang. Immediately, he felt scared.
"No! Get away!" He fired at the girl, but fired so wildly he missed every shot. The girl immediately jumped into the air. She spun her body with both her feet outstretched.
"CANNON DRILL!"
Cammy's feet twisted the gang-member's flesh as she drilled into his face. The force of the attack instantly made him unconscious. Cammy turned to face the other gang-member, who fired wildly before he got a clean shot. However, Cammy spun round, dodging the bullet, the backfisted the drug-dealer, who fell to the floor. Cammy sat on top of him, and punched his face, crying out with rage as she punched his head to unconsciousness. After several punches, Chun Li grabbed Cammy's arm.
"Cammy, it's over now. I'm alright."
Cammy started sobbing at what she had done. Chun Li held onto her, calming her down.
She remembers her fighting capabilities!

"When did you contact Shadowloo?"
"We contacted them in March, three years ago. They said they wanted to buy some heroin from us. We arranged to meet some of their operatives in an alleyway just outside of Causeway Bay."
Chun Li and another detective was in the interrogation room with the gang-member whose face Cammy had recently twisted badly. His right cheek had been covered by a large cotton swab taped on with plasters.
He had agreed to confess everything for a shorter prison sentence.
"How did you contact them? Did they phone you, or did they contact you another way?"
"Well, they are a big drugs syndicate, you know? We were just dying to get the money that Shadowloo was offering. They were gonna give us 1,000,000 dollars, American. We were planning to go to America and live the rest of our lives in luxury. So we managed to find one of their agents in"
"So, what happened?"
"We were betrayed. Shadowloo was planning to just kill us and keep the smack for themselves. They sent that bitch who was with you to assassinate us."
Cammy? How dare he!
"That girl, a hell of a lot younger than my guys, killed almost everyone except two of us. They other guy escaped with the car, I was knocked unconscious, and remained hidden. That bitch ruined my career!"
At that point, Chun Li slammed her hand down on the table. "Don't you dare call her a bitch, asshole. Unlike you, she had no power over herself then. You were responsible by ruining thousands of lives with your drugs!"
"Oh. I didn't know that a Shadowloo agent could be such a friend of an Interpol detective."
Chun Li was about to hit him, but the other detective put a hand in her way.
"Easy, Chun Li. He's just trying to wind you up."
"Succeeding, it seems." added the suspect. "Let me tell you something, detective. The girl who is your friend, she is nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing. She may have the body of a sweet, innocent girl, and she may not remember what she was like before, but inside, she is still the same monster with the same blood on her hands. You can't tame her, even if you tried."
Chun Li decided then to end the conversation there. "Interview suspended at…….1:18 am."
As she turned to leave, the suspect spoke. "Detective."
She stopped, but didn't turn.
"Once a wolf, always a wolf."

Chun Li drove back, Cammy asleep on the passenger side. The interview kept filling her head with thoughts.
A wolf in sheep's clothing? I couldn't tame her even if I tried, huh?
She looked at Cammy. She looked peaceful, her eyes shut, and her face calm, as if she was having a calm dream instead of her usual nightmares.
"What's the real truth inside you, Cammy?" she said quietly.
The last words of the gang member echoed inside her mind.
Once a wolf, always a wolf.....
