章 19: Revealing That Case
Coming out of a public restroom, a young woman who looked somewhat relieved met a young man in black who was waiting for her, somewhat obfuscated. It was nighttime when all this was happening.
- Was it necessary to come all this way? - the man asked.
The girl shook her head as if she were dealing with an ignorant man.
- You know... we women have our needs, I hope you can be more polite and attentive. - replied the woman naturally.
- That's enough... we will go to MedCloud Hospital immediately. - ordered the man with a serious look on his face.
- Why should I go? - asked the young woman somewhat confidently.
It was then that the young man, who had already turned around to start his journey, turned his head slightly and gave a murderous look; it was in such a way that the atmosphere began to tense up and, although the passers-by near them did not sense anything, the young woman stepped back with a frightened expression on her face.
After a few seconds, the young man stopped looking at her and continued on his way. The woman was still fearful and did not object, this time, to follow him.
Walking for almost half an hour, strangely that couple did not take any vehicle to get there faster; on the other hand, the young man in black suits answered a sudden call while they were still on foot.
- Which floor? ... I understand ... The room? ... to the left of the reception ... ... yes, no problem ... And him? ... Well ... I'll be there in about ten minutes. - The young man cut the call.
- So the mayoress is still alive, huh? - asked the woman who accompanied him, a little curious, but not maliciously.
- ...
- I guess the rest of you must have been saved too, right?
Again the young man did not answer; so the woman did not ask something again.
"Of course they wouldn't be well, after all we are going to a hospital ... ... I hope we get there quickly, I'm sore from all that cleaning we had to do earlier. But what bothers me more is how they managed to murder Mort."
Before heading to that hospital, the woman remembered the moment of her encounter with this young man; however, after that interrogation about who she was and in what way she was involved in that incident at Mayor Victoria's abode, she was surprised by the fact that she was not killed by the young man, but that he started using her to go to where his other companion was.
Upon arriving at the place where the woman was informed of the whereabouts of her companion, she was stunned to observe that scene. They only saw, in that kind of alley, the body of a bloody boy on the ground.
"Although he looked like a child, he was more than 16 years old ... he was a madman, but, even so, he was almost a professional killer. Who the hell could have killed him?" wondered the young woman in her thoughts.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Hey, hey, hey!
- LIRIO!
The young woman reacted to someone calling her; it was the man in black who was standing in front of her.
The woman, who had been distracted, had not been able to notice that she was being called until her name was called out.
- W-What... what's wrong? - Lirio asked somewhat fearfully.
- Stop the distractions... we're here.
When they looked up, they could see that they were in front of a large avenue with a large building on one of its corners, and on top of it there was some kind of writing that said MedCloud + .
In its parking lot, some ambulances were waiting; on the other hand, several people of different ages could be seen entering and leaving that place. However, the hospital seemed rather small at first glance.
The two young men entered the place.
In a private room of that establishment, there were three people, one of whom was lying on the only bed in the room while resting, the other two were sitting near him.
- It seems that Eric took care of the 'cleaning'. - commented a young man with black, slightly wavy hair.
- I must thank him...it would be a problem if we had to deal with that right now. - spoke a somewhat relieved long brown-haired woman who was sitting next to the young man.
Suddenly a nurse entered the room and announced that a doctor was already waiting to attend to the young brown-haired woman.
The woman was accompanied by the nurse while the other doctor stayed beside the young man who was sleeping on the bed.
Standing in an examining room, a man in a white coat began to give a diagnosis.
- Fortunately he does not have any severe wounds or burns, only minor ... but as a precaution he should rest and avoid sudden movements ... on the other hand, young Lorenz has not suffered any serious injuries either. - said the doctor.
- Thank you, Dr. Lopez, but what about Alexander? - the woman asked worriedly.
The doctor sighed.
- Let me be honest with you, it's a miracle that the young man is still alive ... the tests show that he was already injured before the incident they had ... for the time being, he should be hospitalized for some time to follow up his condition.
- I understand, doctor ... no matter what the expenses are, I will cover them all.
The doctor smiled kindly.
- On the other hand, I know you asked us to be reserved in this matter; however, the administration has arranged with your assistant Lorenz and the mayor's office to be guarded by their officers. They do not even know who or who was responsible for the attack; therefore, they will be protected twenty-four seven.
- Yes, I understand ... but this matter should not be divulged any more ... it is not good for them to know more about our condition; I will tell the others as well," Victoria nodded sadly.
A few minutes later, upon returning to the previous room, the young woman was surprised to see two more individuals in the room.
- It was about time you arrived. - said one of them.
- Yes ... sorry for the delay ... And ... who is she? - replied Victoria firmly, hiding her sadness.
- Victoria, come... you must hear this. - commented Lorenz.
- Well ... then it's time to find out what's going on in this town. - spoke Eric.
Since the arrival of that pair, half an hour had already passed and, although they talked for all this time, they didn't seem to understand at all.
- Let's start again... you say your name is Lirio Roussie... and where do you come from? - Lorenz asked somewhat disengaged and at the same time angry.
- Please ... don't take this the wrong way ... I was ... part of the group that ... was going to supervise your ... elimination. - replied Lirio hesitantly.
- I understand ... now give me a reason to pay you back for what you have done to us right now. - Lorenz threatened as if he was slowly letting his anger out.
- Wait, Lorenz... let me explain everything she told me... from there we will see what we do with her. - said Eric.
- I belong to a group that was hired to make some of our client's nuisances disappear ... but we failed in the end.
Everyone present listened to what Lirio confessed trying to discern if what she said was true, while the young woman was thinking about something else.
"Sorry boss, but my life is worth more now ... ... if things get ugly in the end, I'll escape right away."
- What is the name of your organization? - Victoria asked.
- ...
The young woman did not want to answer.
- Lorenz. - exclaimed the mayor.
Suddenly, a small pocketknife that came out of one of the pockets of Victoria's assistant's jacket was placed under Lirio's chin.
The message was clear and the young hostage had understood it.
- The Castilla Tower.
- Is that the name or is it a place you're talking about? Speak clearly. - asked Victoria who, like the rest, was holding back her anger.
- T-That's what it's called.
- Okay, so you are a group of mercenaries or assassins, but now I would like to know... How many are behind us? - Lorenz asked.
- W-We were divided into two groups ... one was the assassination group and the other was the cleanup group ... well actually there was one more ... the supervision group.
- Oversight? - Lorenz asked.
- Yes ... I was the one in charge of seeing that everything went well ...
- You? One person? ... How many people were in the other groups? - Victoria asked in surprise.
- Well ... the cleaning group was about five ... but the assassination group was only one ... you must have met him by now, right?
- Are you talking about that strange brat? Did they send him? - Victoria asked even more confused.
- He looked like a child, but, in reality he was about 16 years old ... only he suffered from a disease that made him look like that. Didn't you notice the way he expressed himself or moved?
Victoria and Lorenz looked at each other for a few moments as if they could understand what the woman was talking about.
- For her organization to send only seven people to do the job ... and on top of that the ones who had the main role are just brats, it means that her group is really stupid in making decisions or maybe they are going through problems right now. - Lorenz explained his reasoning.
- ...
- I guess your cleaning crew has figured out the situation by now, haven't they? - asked Eric who had remained silent.
- Surely.
- Will they send other of their agents to finish their work? - asked Eric.
- ... As they have said ... we are not in a good situation ... I don't know if they can actually send more of our people.
Victoria, Lorenz and Eric were silent for seconds as if discerning what Lirio was saying.
- Well, at least we know who were the ones who attacked us, but now you will explain again the most important thing ... Who had hired them?
The atmosphere clearly became tense and, for Lirio, it was much more nerve-wracking than before, as she was not only required to identify herself, but to give information about who or who was hiding behind her back.
- ... If I tell them this ... they might kill me.
Eric smiled.
- If you don't tell them what you told me, what you're worried about might happen right now. - said the young man.
- ...
- If you don't confess in the next five seconds, I will understand that your silence means your death. - commented Eric.
The situation was getting worse and worse for Lirio, the rope was around her neck and, unlike before, she seemed to be equating the value of her life with revealing information about who her organization's clients were.
- One.
- Two.
Eric began to count and Lorenz's razor each time engulfed Lirio's throat, but without hurting her yet.
- Three.
- Four.
- Five...
- All right... I'll talk!
Before she finished counting, the woman nodded at his demands. However, as if feeling somewhat disappointed, Lorenz withdrew his penknife and said.
- Really? And I had already prepared myself.
Eric seconded.
- It's a shame ... you don't see this every day.
While Victoria sighed at that silly scene from that pair.
"These guys are crazy." thought Lirio.
- Well ... talk. - said Lorenz.
Lirio was surprised and at the same time a little angry as the mood returned to those two men as if it had been nothing.
- ... Well ... a week ago, we were contacted by a group; they didn't give us much information other than to end the lives of the targets ... at first we decided to reject them, since we didn't know exactly the reasons or who they were; however, we decided to accept it for the payment.
- Payment? How much did they offer you? - Lorenz asked.
- Two million euros.
The young people were shocked by the enormous sum of money.
- Are we worth that much? - asked Lorenz sarcastically - we are just authorities of a small emerging city.
- Yes, we noticed it too... that could be one more reason not to accept it for the time being was what we were saying to each other.
- So ... what made you change your minds? - Victoria asked.
- Half of the payment ... they gave it up front.
Everyone present was really concerned to learn this fact.
- Normally an advance would be 30% at most, but 50% ... really? - Lorenz asked incredulously.
The situation became more complicated and much more dangerous knowing that they really wanted that group of young people dead.
- You still haven't told us... Who are they?! - exclaimed Victoria.
- ...
The young hostage was silent for a second, and then she took a breath and exhaled.
"There's no turning back now."
- You guys should know them by now, right?
The mayor and her assistant wondered who she was talking about.
- Le Front.
Victoria, Lorenz were silent as if frozen upon hearing that name.
- You ... what do you know ... about them? - Lorenz asked in dismay.
- Well that...
Victoria stared at Eric as if asking if he knew about it.
- I don't know much about them either ... if Lirio doesn't talk, surely he will, right? - Eric commented confidently.
- Will he? - wondered Victoria.
- Le Front ... although he seemed to be of Italian origin, it is not really known where he appeared ... the Deep web presents him as a pharmaceutical company, but in reality it is just a facade to hide something worse and frightening ... they are responsible for the disappearances in Luesia ... no, in reality, this city is just one of their pens.
They all heard that voice that was already familiar to them; it was the voice of a young man echoing behind them.
Turning around immediately, they saw that the only person behind them was the young man who had been sleeping in the bed of that hospital room.
Alexander had awakened.
In the midst of that disturbing panorama, the five young people, who had been victims of the train crashing into an uninhabited area, were disturbed by the presence of that strange creature standing almost a few meters in front of them.
- What ... asshole ... is that thing? - said Renato.
- Hey!" exclaimed Glen.
- What? - spoke Renato.
- Don't say that ... there are children present. - referring to Liam.
- Cut the crap and back away slowly. - muttered Liam while nobody took their eyes off that monster.
The whole group began to back away trying to assimilate the situation.
- Hey... you said that head was your friend's, right? - commented Glen.
- That's right.
- Then ... the rest of the group should be ... - added Daniel.
- Probably.
- And now we're next? - asked Liam.
- Definitely.
- Will you stop ending it all with the word mind? - said Glen somewhat annoyed.
- I understand.
- So, you know what we have to do. - Aren said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
- Okay, on the count of three ... we do it. - Aren ordered as everyone continued to slowly back away while the creature remained motionless.
- One.
- Two.
- Three.
It was at that moment that Aren saw what everyone did.
First, Glen tried to grab and throw Renato near the monster to go as a sacrifice while the rest fled.
Then, Liam tried to push Glen with a kick along with Renato so that the two of them would be the sacrifice to save the rest; this was done in accordance to the fact that Glen had said earlier that the situation could not get any worse and Liam had said that if the opposite happened, Glen would be the one to sacrifice himself for the others.
Subsequently, Daniel naively took out the wooden stick that Renato had dropped and set out to attack the monster.
Meanwhile, Aren watched all this and thought.
"Yes ... they are still children ... What could I expect?"
