101 A LONG NIGHT (2)

historical

It had been so long since he last slept at home. He would always say that he was busy and needed to rest in his apartment near his company.

Blue didn’t believe that, but she didn’t find any other reason to probe more for the truth.

“Anne...” Blue shook Anne’s body, but she was sleeping soundly, not even aware of her surroundings now.

And then, Blue heard that again, it was very clear now that it sounded like a muffled gunshot in the distance. She became alert and then jumped off the bed, as she rushed to the door.

Blue poked her head out to look into the corridor, but found no one there, yet in the distance, she heard the beginning of a fight.

Normal people wouldn’t be able to catch such sounds, since it was at such a distance, but Blue was on high alert.

She looked back at Anne and then decided to take a look at the situation herself. She was not sure why she heard people fighting. Did the guards want to have a training session in the middle of the night? But it was not likely for them to suddenly have their training.

Blue stopped running for a moment and smelled the air, it was thick with the smell of blood and gunpowder.

No. They were not training. There was something else that was happening.

====================

Lise looked around her and blinked her eyes slowly to adjust them to the soft light from the lamp in this room. At one look, she knew that she was not inside a hospital room or in one of the rooms inside Williams’ residence.

Therefore, where was she right now?

She felt so tired, exhausted even, but on the other hand, she felt like her head was so light.

Lise groaned, she tried to sit down, but she couldn’t move a single muscle of her body, especially her legs, she felt numb.

“Sol...?” She called his name, but no one answered her.

Exhausted, she decided to lean her body against her bed again and slept. She hoped someone would be here when she woke up later.

But, before the sleepiness could take her away, she remembered the last thing that happened before she fell unconscious.

Archie drugged her, he injected something into her IV drip and that was the last thing that she remembered.

Did Sol know about it? What actually had he done to her? And what drugs was she forced to take?

====================

Sol ran toward the second floor and checked all the rooms there.

There were a total of five rooms, but they couldn’t find anyone there, they were only empty bedrooms with only a single bed each.

Lastly, the fifth room, this time, it was Sol, who was very impatiently breaking down the door and aimed his gun at whoever was waiting for him behind it.

Yet, once they entered the room, they were blinded by the lights, all the lamps in this building were turned on, getting rid of the darkness and making all of them groan, taking off their night vision.

Sol aimed his gun at the figure in front of him. He was not sure who it was, but since that person couldn’t be his fellow teammate, then in this situation they were his enemy.

However, his bullet hit an empty target.

Only when he could adjust to this sudden bright light, Sol could see it was actually Gael McKeltar, who was sitting on a single sofa, staring at him intently.

“Where is Lise?” Sol asked grimly. He aimed his gun at Gael, along with the other men there, as one of the men informed the rest of them to be ready as they found their target.

But, at the same time, Gael didn’t seem to care when all the bullets were directed at him, he looked at those people around him disgustingly.

“Do you think by placing the tracker inside her body, you can get to her?” Gael scoffed disdainfully. “How shallow is your way of thinking? You don’t even consider that I can figure that sh*t out?” He raised his hand and showed the small tracker between his fingers.

He found it the moment he took Lise away from the hospital and he was so livid to see them using his woman like that. He put a tracker on her to locate her because they knew Gael would look for her.

Gael crushed that small device into dust.

He had been keeping it inside this building and made them think that he kept Lise here. Not only that, to make it more realistic, he called a doctor to come every two days and guarded this place very tightly.

“How dare you to put that device on her!?” he roared and stood up, as the sound of the trigger from the guns could be heard, echoing throughout this room.

Gael felt sick when he found out about this. He watched the entire process when they had to remove it from her flesh, when the doctor cut her skin and blood that oozed out from her. He witnessed it all.

Indignation was an understatement for what he had felt right at that time and hatred couldn’t even describe it.

“How could you put such a thing on her?!” He growled at Sol, their eyes met and the tension inside the room was very thick. “I let you bring her away because I thought you loved her enough to not hurt her!”

“I didn’t!” Sol shouted back at him. “It was not me, who put the device on her!”

Gael raised his brows, he smirked viciously at him. “So, it was your lovely family, who had done it?” he asked mockingly. “Did that make any difference here?”

Sol’s sharp glare was on Gael when he gave a loud order to the men that surrounded him. “FIRE!”

It was the cue for them to start barreling their bullets at the supernatural creature in front of them.
