Chapter 74
“What’s got you all smiling and happy?”, Jack said.
“Serah and i finally made up”, Brian grinned.
“At last, the love birds are back”, Killian chuckled.
“But she got attacked by Benita”, Brian said, folding his hands.
“What the hell? Where were the security men?”, Jack thundered.
“My question exactly but it turns out that Benita seduced her way in”.
At that moment, Brian hated her and what she stood for. He couldn’t imagine how cheap she was. He knew she was loose but this just proved to him that there was no taming her, he couldn’t believe he had nearly fallen for her back then in school thinking she was his mate.
“But I hope Serah isn’t injured?”, Jack asked.
“No. As a matter of fact, my mate dealt with her which I am very proud of”, Brian grinned.
“That’s why it’s good to have a better half who can fight”, Killian smiled.
Just then there was a slight knock on the door of the safehouse they were staying. They weren’t expecting anyone and they were quite surprised at this. Apparently, the safe house wasn’t known to anyone except them.
“Who could that be?”, Killian asked.
“No idea”, Brian said.
He grabbed his gun from a nearby table, cocking it in the process. He wasn’t about to risk the safety of the people in his care, not on his watch.
“That’s probably the great master coming to rescue us and teach you a lesson”, the pilot chuckled.
Brian had momentarily forgotten about them as the only thing on his mind was the identity of the person behind the door.
“I’ll move to the front, you guys take the back”, Brian said.
“Careful”, Jack said
He was holding a machine gun that was quite heavy but being the hulk he was, he carried it with ease. He and Killian stood at the back of Brian, they wouldn’t hesitate to shoot if the person on the other end proved to be an enemy.
“On my count… 1, 2, 3”, Brian shouted.
Without another minute to spare, Brian flung the door open to revel an empty space. He looked around, trying to see if he could see the person who knocked earlier but all he could see was more empty space.
“What the hell was that?”, Brian asked.
He shut the door behind him quickly as he made his way back to the room. He placed his gun on a nearby table for when he would need it.
“I have no idea but let me run a check through the security cameras”, he said.
“Meanwhile, I think we need to live on time. Once they know these two scumbags are missing, they’ll come searching and if they find them here with us, the result might not be funny. So to avoid too much bloodshed, I suggest we leave tomorrow”, Killian said.
“I agree. Tomorrow it is then”, Brian said.
“Guys, you should come see this”, Jack said.
“What the hell is this?”, Brian said.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
On Jack’s screen was a hooded figure. Brian couldn’t make out the face but he knew the shape belonged to a woman. The woman’s face was obscured by a dark viel that shielded more than half of her face.
“This is a woman’s figure”, Killian said.
“It is but I don’t understand. No female knows this safe house, not even Serah”, Brian said.
He paced about, worry evident on his face. He racked his brain for who could know the safe house but he came up with nothing. No woman was on his mind he could think about.
“This is getting weird”, Jack said.
“Fools… You all are fools”, the pilot chuckled.
His lips were dry from the absence of water. Ever since he was captured, he had refused to take anything claiming that he could be poisoned.
“What do you know?”, Brian growled.
“Don’t you know that the great master and the demon leader have minions all over the world. They could easily get the address of this place in no time”, he cackled.
“There’s no way they would know this place. Except…”, Killian said.
His eyes were wide in terror and Brian knew that he had just discovered something that they had all missed from the beginning.
“What is it?”, Brian asked.
Killian walked towards the pilot and the other attacker who was still out cold. From the look on the attackers eyes, Killian knew he had discovered that his secret had been blown.
“Get up”, Killian growled.
“And why should I do that?”, the pilot said.
“Get up before I force you to”, Killian hissed.
The pilot remained on the floor, still adamant not to obey the command. Killian lunged at him, raising him to his feet. Underneath him, small and inconspicuous was a tracking device they had all failed to see.
“Shit! That’s how the figure discovered this place”, Brian said.
Killian picked up the device, crushing it with his feet. There was a dull whine from the machine which indicated that it had successfully been destroyed.
“There’s nothing you can do about it. The great master knows we’re here already and soon, he’ll he here”, he chuckled.
“Someone shut this guy up”, Brian said.
Fast as a lightening, Killian struck him on the shoulder which rendered him powerless as he slumped to the ground, unconscious.
“We need to get out of here now”, Brian said.
“Why don’t we wait to fight them. After all, they’re no match for us when we’re together”, Jack said.
“True but you should know that we’re short of ammunition and these people would be coming in in herds”, Brian said.
“Jack, you’ll be flying. Let’s get these people out of here”, Brian ordered.
Soon, the trio left the safehouse, carrying the two unconscious men along with them. They climbed into the van, making their way towards the airport.
“My coordinates show the attackers are heading here”, Jack said.
“And I think they’re here”, Brian said.
