บท 228: What is Vacation? Can you eat it?
"GET DOWN!!!"
Sabastian hugged Erisviel tightly before quickly ducking down.
*bang bang x?*
"Roll under the car, Eris!" He instructed Erisviel to roll under the car to get protection from the crossfire of bullets.
Erisviel complied with Sabastian as she lied down on the road before rolling to the side, under the car.
Sabastian followed suit after Erisviel.
Before rolling under the car, Sabastian caught a glimpse of the blonde girl.
He saw that one of her guards protected her, as the girl hurriedly got into the SUV.
Underneath the car, Sabastian and Erisviel were hugging each other.
Both of them we shaking.
For Sabastian, the sound of gunfire reminded him of the time when he was being chased by the mercenaries hired by Declan.
Those awful memories left a wound on his mind, which traumatised him.
As for Erisviel, it's her first time in her life that she felt death breathing down her neck.
"It's okay, Eris! We'll be fine, we'll be fine..." Sabastian kept on muttering 'we'll be fine' not just to calm Erisviel but also himself.
The barrage of bullets only lasted a couple of minutes.
Sabastian looked around and could see bodies lying on the road.
Still, he waited a minute or two before he concluded that it's probably safe to go out.
The only sound that could be heard was the sound of nature.
If anyone was still standing or alive, he would have heard some footsteps by now.
He motioned Erisviel to stay under the car while he went out to check if it's all clear or not.
Crawling out of underneath the car, Sabastian took a good look around.
He could see the guards of the blonde woman lying motionlessly on the ground, dead.
The others who arrived and started the whole gun-blazing fiasco were also dead on the other side.
"Eris, come out it's safe!" Sabastian called out.
Soon Erisviel crawled out from underneath the car.
"Let's have a vacation you said!"
"It'll be fun and relaxing you said!"
"Russia is a beautiful and peaceful country you said!"
"Fu*k, you Sabastian!!!" Erisviel hollered at Sabastian.
Sabastian gave out a sigh of relief before laughing lightly.
"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you, Eris. Hmm... What do you say? After all, this is done, let's go to my sister's private island. Away from civilisation, there will be nothing to worry about and you can finally have your long-awaited peace and quiet! Hahaha!!!" Sabastian laughed trying to lighten the mood.
He sighed inwardly.
He was truly scared a while ago, that he almost froze up.
Luckily, his body reacted on its own when he noticed the danger.
Although, he has physically recovered. He still hasn't recovered mentally.
Sabastian acknowledged the fact that he has a mental barrier that's holding him back from recovering from his assassination incident.
'I think I should go see a professional...' Sabastian thought to himself.
Seeing a gun near his foot, Sabastian crouched down and picked up the gun.
Suddenly, he remembered the blonde girl.
He swiftly turned around and ran towards the SUV.
Just as he was about to open the door, the blonde girl's face popped up on the other side of the window sill of the car.
"Are you okay?" Sebastian asked in Russian.
The girl nodded, her body was shaking from fear.
Behind Sabastian, Erisviel noticed the state the girl was in.
She quickly arrived near Sabastian before she opened the door of the SUV.
The girl was mumbling something inaudible.
Sabastian took a look inside the SUV and saw that the guard who protected the girl was sitting motionlessly beside the girl.
Erisviel turned to Sabastian.
"Basti, can you give us a moment."
Sabastian nodded.
He saw Erisviel hugged the girl and brought her head to her embrace.
The girl hugged by Erisviel immediately started crying.
"Well, that rules out the possibility of her being an enemy... She's too soft-hearted..." Sabastian muttered as he walked towards the dead bodies of the men who attacked them.
He sat down next to one of the dead men.
Looking at the dead man, Sabastian thought for a minute before he nodded.
He unbuttoned the shirt of the dead man.
"It should be around heeeere... That's it!"
There was a tattoo of an empty throne with a skull on top of the throne was on the body of the dead man.
"Well, back to square one..." Sabastian sighed.
The only lead they had, is lost.
The Twilight Throne is now aware that some people are after them.
'They should be more alert now!' Sabastian narrowed his eyes.
He then checked all of the dead bodies to see if he can find some clue that the misfit gang could use.
"Tsk... Nothing!" Sabastian clicked his tongue.
'Well, at least we have contacts... Hopefully, Erisviel can track them...' He said inwardly before getting up.
Turning around, Sabastian approached the SUV.
The girl already calmed down, but she was still shaking.
"Calmed down, eh? Well, missy, I don't want to come out as rude but we should leave as soon as possible. And would you like to come to our hotel with us if it is alright for you?" Sabastian asked the blonde girl.
The blonde girl turned to Sabastian, she thought for a moment before she gave a nod to Sabastian.
Accepting his offer.
Sabastian then turned to Erisviel.
Erisviel rolled her eyes before she gave a response to Sabastian.
"F*ck off!"
Sabastian sighed.
Looking behind the blond girl, he spoke up.
"I'm sorry, but we have to leave him here..."
Sabastian said to the girl, pointing towards the body of the dead bodyguard who protected the girl.
The girl turned around.
She stared at the dead bodyguard, biting her lips.
A look of guilt was expressed on her face.
She closed her eyes before turning back to Sabastian.
"Okay..." The girl replied in a heavy tone.
Sabastian nodded to the girl before stepping aside.
Erisviel helped the girl come out of the SUV.
After the girl left the SUV, Sabastian got inside and carried the dead body out of the SUV.
Placing the body nearby, he got inside and cleaned the seats which were full of shards of glass from the windows.
After cleaning the seats, Sabastian came out of the SUV.
He then turned to the car he borrowed from the hotel.
"...I think I should give big bro a heads up..." Sabastian muttered, feeling guilty for troubling his older brother.
The Vassiliev's are soon to be in-laws of the Heilige family.
The second daughter of the Vassiliev, Tatyana Vassiliev is his older brother's fiancee.
"I'll inform him on the way..." Sabastian said to himself as he turned towards the girls.
"Get in, we'll be leaving now!"
~~~
At the hotel suite,
Sabastian was sitting on the sofa with a coffee mug in his hand.
The blonde-haired girl was in front of Sabastian, on the other side of the table, sitting on a single sofa.
The name of the blonde-haired girl is Daniella Petrova.
She is an owner of a fast-food restaurant franchise.
It hasn't been long since her father died of cancer.
After her father's death, she inherited the business.
She claims to be Aleksei's friend, but the misfits including Sabastian didn't believe her at all.
Sabastian took a sip of his coffee before asking her.
"So why were you following us?"
Daniella replied, "You are looking for Aleksei, right? That's why."
"Do you know where Aleksei is?" Sabastian inquired.
"No." Daniella answered calmly.
Putting the coffee mug on the table in front of her, She explained to Sabastian
"I was keeping an eye on them thinking they would lead me to Aleksei, but then you guys appeared. When I saw that you are following them, I followed you. I realized that you and I have the same purpose, which is to find Aleksei and rescue him. So I blocked your way knowing the danger ahead."
Sabastian nodded.
"I know you said you're a friend of Aleksei, but we're having a hard time believing that. So why don't you come clean and tell us, what's your relationship with Aleksei?" Sabastian narrowed his eyes and stared at Daniella.
Hearing the question, it seemed that the girl got a little upset. But before she could express herself, she smiled and said,
"We are childhood friends... Why is it important that I have to explain our relationship?"
Sabastian shrugged.
Beside Sabastian, Ana facepalmed herself.
"Don't mind him, he's just nosy. He likes to poke around other people's life!" Ana said in Russian to Daniella.
"No, I mean you're probably not the only 'childhood' friend of Aleksei. But you're doing what no one else is doing, surely a 'special' friend?" Sabastian said raising his eyebrows, looking at Daniella with a curious gaze.
*smack*
Erisviel slapped Sabastian's head.
"Ouuuch!"
Sabastian rubbed the area Erisviel smacked, but he's still not going to give up.
Yet...
For the fool Sabastian, he must satisfy his curiosity even if it kills him.
Even if he knows the answer, he needs to hear the answer!
'I MUST KNOW!!!' Sabastian said in his mind.
