Chapter 85: Missing

"Darius... I... need ... back up, I think I know... who's... behind... this." Both managed to hear from the cracking line.

"Where are you!" Darius asked but the line had gone off. "Shit! What the hell is happening," he muttered, quickly taking Alex to the room and locking him in.

"Don't do anything stupid, I'll be back just now," he said before walking away.

Alex paced around the room, thinking of what to do. He could easily break out and follow him without Darius knowing but decided against it. "It's their problem, they didn't listen to me."

Lying on the couch, he positioned himself comfortably.

CREAK

"Who's there!" Alex jumped to his feet, staring around. Looking at the door he could see it slowly creeping open.

"I won't ask again," Alex said, his fist getting covered in a red glow.

"Relax," he heard a soft voice from behind the door. "It's just us," three figures entered the room, standing before Alex.
