Susan Narrates the whole story to her table of friends , starting from the moment they left the school to when they encountered the delinquents
(*A Brief Flashback of the whole fight involving Danny and the Vipers is shown*)
Sarah grits her teeth in frustration and bangs her fist on the table
SARAH ; That idiot !!!!!
Everyone's attention in the cafeteria is drawn towards them and bystanders were wondering what was happening on their table
Jack holds Sarah's hand
JACK ; Hey Sarah ! Relax , you're not the only one bothered by what has happened
Sarah pats his hand away and sits down
SARAH ; Seriously , when I see him , I'm giving him a punch in the gut
SILVA ; Given what we saw yesterday , I'm sure he'll hold out
JACK ; But for how long ?
SILVA ; Hey hey , jack don't jinx things like that
Susan still having teary eyes raises her head and stares at her brother with a very serious look as if he just said something he shouldn't have , they lock eyes for a few seconds , but Jack looks away from her gaze
JACK ; Okay guys , instead of sitting here , we should think of what we should do
SARAH ; I know what I'm gonna do
FRED ; You do ? C'mon tell us then
SARAH ; I'll look for Danny myself and drag him out from where he's being held
Sarah stands up and tries to walk away , but Fred and Silva begin to pull her back in a funny and comical manner
SILVA ; Not so fast madam !! Did you listen to what Susan was saying ? Who knows how many there are ?
FRED ; He's right , Just relax and lets think things through properly
SARAH ; Alright I get it , stop pulling me already
They all settle down again
Jack looks at his sister
JACK; Susan do you remember what they looked like? or what they had in common at least
FRED ; True , that way we can at least have a lead
SUSAN ; Well ...........
Their attention is all focused on Susan as they wait for her to talk
SUSAN; There wasn't much that stood out in their outfits , but there's one thing they all had in common
SILVA ; And what was that ?
SUSAN ; They had the same tattoo , some had on their necks and some had on their arm
SARAH ; And what did this tattoo look like
Susan took out a pen and paper , draws on the paper and shows them
SUSAN ; It looked like this , a Snake in between two crossed swords
The Drawing looked unfamiliar to everyone except Sarah
SARAH ; (in her head) Hmmmm , where have I seen this ?
*A Brief flashback of when she Dislocated the Delinquent's shoulder in the hallway plays in her head*
She recalls seeing the same tattoo on his arm when she grabbed him
SARAH ; Ohh !
JACK ; Sarah what is it ? You know something
SARAH ; Yeah , I know exactly who we're gonna ask
JACK ; Who ?
SARAH ; Remember the big guy Danny beat up ?
JACK ; Yeah
SARAH ; He had this same tattoo on his arm when i grabbed him
JACK ; Oh I see , we can interrogate him then
Fred stands up and Draws their attention
FRED ; Okay then , Let's report this to the NSF and let them handle the case
Fred was about to walk away , but Jack and Sarah pull him back too in the same manner Sarah was pulled back
Sarah knocks him on his head like an elder sister disciplining her younger brother
FRED ; Ouch ! Someone help !! I'm being Assaulted by a Violent woman
SARAH ; Shut up , Four eyes!!
Fred mellows down and apologizes to Sarah in a very funny way
Silva and Jack look on , feeling sorry for Fred , having to deal with Sarah who's a wild character
SILVA ; She's as scary as always
JACK ; You got that right
SILVA ; I feel sorry for Fred
JACK ; Same here
Everything Settles down after the small commotion
Jack walks up to Fred and hands him his phone showing a News article on the recent outbreak of gang wars all over the country
FRED ; What's this ? Gangs are fighting all over the country?
JACK ; That's right , and that's exactly why we can't report this to the NSF
FRED ; Danny isn't in a Gang , he's a victim in this case , why can't we report this to the NSF ?
SARAH ; There have also been reports of High school and College students being part of these Gangs
Sarah and Fred lock eyes
SARAH ; There is no proof that Danny isn't a member of a gang , What do you think will happen if we report this incident to the NSF?
SILVA ; The incident will be treated as a Brawl between Rival Gangs and Danny will get arrested along with the other gang Members
FRED ; What ?
SILVA ; And when that happens , we have no way of ever reaching him , The NSF have a total impregnable fortress called 'The Black Hole" where they toss Gang Unit members and other Higly dangerous criminals
JACK ; The GeoNatia Law has made exemptions for gang members , there's no option for bail or a duration for their imprisonment , once they're caught , they are gonna spend the rest of their lives in the Black Hole
SARAH ; It seems the government is desperate to eradicate these guys from the streets of GeoNatia , that's why they've passed on such a Law
FRED ; What the Fuck !!!?
SARAH ; Now that you know why we can't go through the NSF to resolve this issue , We have to do something ourselves
JACK ; And yeah , we know the risks , but we have no choice right now
SUSAN ; What exactly are you guys planning ?
Sarah puts her hand on Susan's shoulder
SARAH ; Don't spend too much time worrying about it dear , we'll figure something out eventually , Right Jack ?
JACK ; Uh ? What ?
SILVA ; You guys are kidding right ? , we've been discussing all this time without a plan?
FRED ; As I feared you guys don't seem to have any sort of plan
Sarah Looks at Fred
SARAH ; Then , do you have a plan !!?
FRED ; Let's meet up at the school courtyard after lectures
This time Fred doesn't act in the funny way he usually does and he has a very serious look on his face and Sarah is quite intrigued by this
FRED ; Sarah you said you know someone you'll ask about the Tattoos
SARAH ; Yeah , I did
FRED ; I Suggest you go together with Jack
JACK ; Okay , but what about you ?
FRED ; I'll go with Susan to the area where Danny was attacked , there should something we can find there , and it should be easy to gather information on the Gang members activities since it's a popular District with many Convenience Stores , Hardware Stores , Bars and Restaurants
SILVA ; What do you mean ?
FRED ; Most Gang members are likely to patronize hardware stores to get parts for Bikes , Cars and so many things they'll need for their operations , And there will definitely be a few stores where they are regulars at
SILVA ; And the Bars , they'll love to go for a few drinks now and then
FRED ; You're right Silva
JACK ; I see where you're getting at
SILVA ; So if we tip the store owners and neighborhood junkies , we'll be able to get some valuable information
FRED ; Exactly , that's the plan we intend to Carry out
SARAH ; I see
FRED ; Silva , as for you , can you remain in school to monitor the students ?
Fred hands him some keys
FRED ; These are the keys to my room in the college premises , you can use it , since tomorrow is Saturday , you don't need to go back home for anything
SILVA ; Sure I can stay , but why ?
FRED ; Since there have been reports of college students being part of these guys , we don't know how many of them are roaming the grounds of the school , so I want you to report any suspicious form of Movements and Communications especially , because we don't know who they might be reaching out to
SILVA ; Alright then , you can count on me in that regard
FRED ; Okay , lets dismiss for now , we'll go over everything we've discussed in the evening at the courtyard
SARAH ; Alright , see y'all then
They all disperse and move to their various classes
PART 2
At one of the Safe houses of the Vipers , Danny wakes up and finds himself lying in the corner of a room on a tiled floor , he realizes he's in a Kitchen
DANNY ; What the hell ? where am I ?
He suddenly experiences a flashback of what happened to him the previous day
DANNY ; That's right , I was with Susan
He tries to stand but he can't , he is handcuffed on both arms and legs , he continues to struggle until one of the thugs walk in , It's Castangne that walks in
He tries to stand but he can't , he is handcuffed on both arms and legs , he continues to struggle until one of the thugs walk in , It's Castangne that walks in [https://img.wattpad.com/2cbe48432937ce9406f702a2413a4d337f62afb5/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4e6a324d557565617763746a61513d3d2d313235343833313035392e3137313063383931386463343736663733383139333036323832392e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
CASTAGNE; Oh kid , you're awake
DANNY ; You asshole !!! where the fuck am I !!?
CASTAGNE ; Where are we ??
Castagne grabs him by his hair and hits his face on the tiles , Danny's nose begins to produce a huge amount of blood
CASTAGNE ; Don't you worry kid , you're somewhere where your dead body won't be found
DANNY ; Uh ?
CASTAGNE ; I'll make sure to pay you back properly for what you did to my face
Danny looks at his face covered with bandages
DANNY ; Hahaha , really ? , I think the bandages look quite good on you
CASTAGNE; You Fucking brat !!!!!
Castagne stamps repeatedly on his chest and Danny coughs up a lot of blood
He proceeds to lift him by the Collar of his shirt but one of the Gang members walk in interrupting the action [https://img.wattpad.com/576d98cdb94f0e5632d209081ab1274d91af8a13/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f6e487465766134483232534c2d513d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306338636638626135343864333935343130333132353238332e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
He proceeds to lift him by the Collar of his shirt but one of the Gang members walk in interrupting the action
THUG ; Castagne , Captain Calvin is calling everyone to the hall
CASTAGNE ; I'll be right there
He drops Danny on the floor and walks out of the kitchen
CASTAGNE ; I'll be back kid , while I'm gone continue to regret your decision of ever standing up against us
Castagne walks out of the room and goes to the hall where the gang members were gathering for a meeting
Castagne comes face to face with his captain who is sitting on a chair and surrounded by other members of the gang
CALVIN ; Castagne , you didn't kill the kid did you ?
CASTAGNE ; Ha!! I was about to
CALVIN ; Good thing you didn't , you don't wanna make me mad do you ?
Castagne is slightly intimidated by his captain but he keeps his composure and he reluctantly apologizes
CASTAGNE ; I deeply apologize sir , I let my emotions get the better of me
CALVIN ; Very well , as long as you do as I say , there won't be any trouble
THUG ; So boss what's today's mission ?
CALVIN ; That's right , about today's mission
Calvin stands up and goes to a big screen that's in the room , the screen projects a picture of a warehouse and a shopping hall
CALVIN ; Listen up guys , according to the scouts we've sent out recently , it seems a rival gang has been doing business on our turf
CASTAGNE; They've got balls don't they ?
Calvin points to the warehouse
CALVIN ; They've been using this warehouse as a spot to receive the goods from the port carried by the Ships bringing goods into the country
Calvin points to the shopping mall
CALVIN ; It seems there are gang members among the store owners in this shopping mall and they've been using this mall as a meeting place and distribution center to expand their network of trade
THUG ; Then that means ?
CALVIN ; Exactly , they plan to distribute weapons all over the Annex and start a war to take the region from us , my guess is that they have well over 100 gang members waiting to receive weapons to start a war
ALL THUGS ; Annex is our turf !! we can't let those motherfuckers take it from us !!!
CALVIN ; That's right , that's exactly why we are going to sever their network of sales and crush them ,
ALL THUGS ; Yeah !!!
CALVIN ; We're gonna show them the might of the Vipers
CASTAGNE ; So where is the location of the Warehouse and Shopping Mall ?
The screen shows a map , and Calvin points to certain marked locations on the screen
CALVIN ; The warehouse is located just outside Annex and the Shopping mall is located around Central Annex , We'll split into four teams of 10 , I'll lead the squad heading for the warehouse
Calvin looks towards the back of the Hall and calls Ralf Forward to stand in front of everyone
CALVIN : Ralf will lead the teams heading to the shopping mall
(Ralf is the young Student who baited Mr Lars)
RALF ; Let's wreck havoc today boys !!!
THUGS ; Yeah !!!!
CALVIN ; Settle down guys , I'm not done assigning roles
He looks at Castagne
CALVIN ; Castagne , you'll stay back at the safehouse with the rest of the boys to stand guard , we don't know when some enemies might show up to attack this place
CASTAGNE ; Boss let me lead the attack on the Shopping Mall !!
CALVIN ; You're injured Castagne ! , I can't risk one of my best men in today's operation , I've decided to entrust this place to you , I hope you understand
Castagne is frustrated by this but he decides to accept his decision
CASTAGNE ; Okay boss
CALVIN ; And make sure you watch over the kid too
CASTAGNE ; sure I will
Calvin turns to everyone again and points to the screen
CALVIN ; They'll be delivering another cargo by 7pm today , now that you know your roles , we'll move out by that time , Failure is not an option !!
ALL THUGS ; Yes Sir !!
CALVIN ; Dismissed !!
All gang members disperse and go to their various stations to prepare for their assault
Danny overhears their loud battle cries from the kitchen
DANNY ; What are they so riled up about ?
Castagne walks into the kitchen , he looks at Danny but doesn't say a word , he just sits down and grabs a bag of chips and begins to eat
DANNY ; (*in his head*) What's with him ?
PART 3
Back in school after classes , Jack and rest of the group gather at the courtyard with the time reading 6:00 PM
FRED ; Alright guys , Let's go over the plan once more
Turns to Jack and Sarah
FRED ; You guys will go ahead to interrogate the suspect in this Case , Take the sketch that Susan made, and if doesn't wanna talk use this
Fred takes out his phone
FRED ; Sarah take out your phone
SARAH ; Oh sure
Fred scans the QR code on her phone and sends a few documents to her
FRED ; I've sent a few photos and Videos to your phone , this should be useful in interrogating him
Sarah views the photos and videos on her phone and she suddenly bursts out laughing
SARAH ; Hahahaha , What the hell man !!!
JACK ; Sarah let me take a look
Jack looks at the Photos and Videos and he's completely Astonished by what he just witnessed
JACK ; Fucking hell , So people who do stuff like this exist
SARAH ; Haha . Where did you get these !!?
FRED ; (*adjusts glasses*) Hehe , I have my connections
SARAH ; This would definitely be useful in getting something out of him
JACK ; Okay we have that , we should be going now
SARAH ; You're right , see you guys later
Fred and Silva exchange handshakes
FRED ; You know what to do Silva
SILVA ; Sure , you can count on me
FRED ; Susan , let's get going too
SUSAN ; Alright
Susan and Fred go on together , ahead of Sarah and Jack
Silva waves to each of the groups and he goes his way
SILVA ; You guys be careful now !
JACK ; Yeah , and you too Silva
Sarah and Jack walk outside the main school premises and head towards the Medical Center owned by the school , which isn't located far away from the school
They arrive at the hospital , and were halted by few security officials
SECURITY ; Both of you seem to be our students , but I'll like to see your Student ID's For clarification
They both provide their student ID Cards before they were allowed entry
They make their way towards the reception
JACK ; By the way , Do you know his name ?
SARAH ; (shows picture of ID On Phone) Yeah , His student ID was among the pictures he sent
JACK ; Okay , that's alright
They approach one of the Nurses who wasn't currently attending to anyone
They approach one of the Nurses who wasn't currently attending to anyone [https://img.wattpad.com/6c7a55cb7e1ebd21ea7b6083e9260c647c4eb66b/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f444f7348546b704f7231366d71413d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306339303038323632373136313837323734383535353937362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
JACK ; Good Afternoon , we're paying a visit to one of our friends
NURSE ; Oh , and what's his name ?
SARAH ; His Name is Shin Kazuma
The Nurse looks through the register on her desk
NURSE ; He's currently admitted in room 314 on the Second Floor
JACK ; Thank you ma'am
NURSE ; Kazuma is a really sweet person isn't he ?
SARAH ; Eh ?
Jack pats her on the back as if cautioning her not to act suspicious
JACK ; Hehe , yes he is ma'am
NURSE ; He sure has lots of friends , earlier three of his friends came by , I don't think they've left the premises yet , you should go see them
JACK ; Oh really ? That would be good , having so many of his friends around should help him get better quick
NURSE ; Haha , Yes
JACK ; Alright ma'am we'll be going now , thank you
Jack and Susan walk away from the reception and head towards the stairs
SARAH ; Three friends uh ?
JACK ; I guess we have some dirt to take care of
SARAH ; I hope they'll be fun to play with
JACK ; We can't cause a scene here , remember?
SARAH ; Yeah , yeah
They make their way to the room 314 on the second floor and stand at opposite sides of the door
SARAH ; Okay , nobody is moving around on this floor for now
They look through the glass pane on the door and see the three thugs inside , one standing close to the door and two others standing at opposite sides of the room
JACK ; Like the nurse said , there are three guys inside
SARAH ; So , How are we gonna deal with them ?
JACK ; Hmmm , lets see
SARAH ; Uh ?
JACK ; Okay , I'll open the door , you'll take care of the guy close to the door and the one on the right hand side , I'll take the guy on the left hand side
SARAH ; I can take the first guy , but I won't be quick enough to take out the second guy
JACK ; Hmm , That's True
Jack looks around and sees a fire extinguisher
JACK ; You won't need to worry about being fast enough
SARAH ; Uh ?
The Delinquents are discussing when Jack barges the door open
KAZUMA ; What ?
The thug close to the door tries to move but he's knocked out by Sarah with an elbow to the Jaw
Jack dashes straight for the guy on the left and grabs his face , Jack's hands are big enough to cover his face as he slams him against the wall causing him to black out
KAZUMA ; What the fuck are you guys doing here !!!???
THUG ; Who the hell are you guys !!?? Get outta here
The thug tries to attack Jack but before he could do so , at an incredible speed Sarah slams a Fire extinguisher at the side of his head and he blacks out instantly
In a brief moment they take out the thugs in the room
Kazuma is terrified on his Hospital bed by having Sarah in his prescence
JACK ; Hey Sarah , are you trying to kill him !!?
SARAH ; Hahaha , sorry I kinda got too excited
JACK ; Geez , you're a piece of work
Sarah turns to Kazuma and moves to sit on the chair beside his bed
SARAH ; You seem to be doing well , Kazuma Senpai
KAZUMA ; How the hell did you know my name !!!???
SARAH ; Let's just say I have my connections
JACK ; Haha , you sound like Fred
SARAH ; Oh c'mon Jackson
Kazuma turns to Jackson
KAZUMA ; Did you just say Fred ?
JACKSON ; Uh ? Yes I did
Kazuma has a brief flashback about his encounter with Fred
KAZUMA ; That Red haired guy !! , I'll Fucking kill him
JACK ; I'm afraid that won't be happening when we're done here
SARAH ; Hehe , that's for sure
Sarah moves closer to his bed
SARAH ; Now let's get to the business of the day shall we ??
Sarah takes out the paper of Susan's sketch and Shows Kazuma
SARAH ; Now tell me in detail , how much do you know about this ? [https://img.wattpad.com/df47b50e85d2d2beb46dea920bb2d9b6d49f79ed/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f58307754496572614c4c4a6337673d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306339326130613737626637373739343033383739353431372e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
SARAH ; Now tell me in detail , how much do you know about this ?
KAZUMA ; I Haven't seen that anywhere before
SARAH ; Okay ? you haven't ?
Sarah puts down the paper sketch , grabs his shirt and rolls up the sleeve of his short sleeved shirt , revealing the Snake tattoo on his arm
SARAH ; You haven't seen it anywhere, But what's this on your shoulder ?
KAZUMA ; It's just a coincidence , I swear I haven't that shit before
SARAH ; You still won't spill it out uh ?
Sarah grabs his bandaged arm and slowly rubs it
SARAH ; It's been bothering for a while , but this dosen't looks good on you Kazuma Senpai
KAZUMA ; Hey Bitch what are you trying to do ?
Sarah grabs the bandage even tighter
SARAH; How about I take it off for you ?
Jack takes out a handkerchief from his pocket and covers Kazuma's mouth to prevent his screams from being heard
SARAH ; Now stay still Senpai , this won't hurt at all
Sarah begins to apply Pressure to his Kazuma's dislocated shoulder with her fist , Kazuma tries to scream through the handkerchief but unfortunately he can't be heard by anyone
SARAH ; Now tell me Senpai , What do you know about this tattoo !?
After several minutes Kazuma endures the torture from Sarah without saying a word about the tattoo
Kazuma is currently lying on his bed on the verge of passing out from the pain
JACK ; As expected from a gang member , they're so tight lipped
SARAH ; You go that right
JACK ; I guess we'll have to use that
SARAH ; (giggle) You're right
Sarah takes out her phone and shows Kazuma the photos and videos
Kazuma is completely mortified by what he's looking at
KAZUMA ; Hey, Where did you get these !!??
SARAH ; Like I said , I Have my connections
Kazuma gets on his knees in front of Sarah while his arm is still bandaged
KAZUMA ; It's the red haired guy right ? Okay I'm sorry for what I did to him , please don't show this to anyone
SARAH ; Okay you better tell us everything in truth , if we discover you lied to us , We'll Post these pictures on the internet
KAZUMA ; Please don't , I'll tell you everything
JACK ; In any case you're one sick bastard aren't you ?
Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.
Jack squats , grabs Kazuma by his collar , throws him to the ground and holds him down by one hand
JACK ; Who the fuck takes pictures and videos of high school girls and masturbates to them ? And you've been doing it in the school toilet during Lunch break , I'm surprised you haven't been caught all this while
SARAH ; Haha , That's our Kazuma Senpai for you , He's quite amazing
JACK ; Now , Start Talking Kazuma
KAZUMA ; Alright I'll tell you , just please don't upload the photos and videos
SARAH ; Sure , I won't upload them , you have my word , now tell us
Jack carries Kazuma and sits him down on the chair in the room
KAZUMA ; It happened a few months back when my boys and I got involved with some shady dudes
- A Flashback plays out as Kazuma is narrating the story - (WORDS IN ITALICS ARE THE NARRATION)
As usual we were on our way back from our favorite arcade center and we'd always go to the under of the overhead pass at the other side of the Annex to record videos of us doing freestyle tricks for our PopTube Channel.
Then we were approached by some guys who apparently were delinquents and said we can't use their turf to record videos of ourselves.
Of Course we beat them up and sent them packing , but little did we know what was in store for us.
By the next day we visited the arcade we frequented only to find the place trashed up and one of our guys lying unconscious and all beaten up
"Who did this!!??" I asked my friend lying on the ground
I then raised my head and saw a guy with a hat on his head smirking as he looked at me , he was surrounded by about 20 men
"Is he one of you?" he asked , I replied him with a "Yes" and further asked if he was the one who did this
"You should learn to teach your boys some manners though , I Hate discourteous fellows" he said with a sinister look In his eyes
"Who the hell are you !?" I asked
"Oh how rude of me , one should always introduce himself when meeting someone for the first time" He Said , then he continued by introducing himself f, "My name is Theo Calvin , Pleased to meet your acquaintance".
"I Heard some of my men were beaten up the other day and I came to see
All the rage within me began to build up , and eventually it turned into a brawl
It was 5 of us against 20 of them , we were completely outnumbered but we somehow managed to take out 11 of their fighters
There were 9 left including their boss , but ultimately their numbers were too great and we were overwhelmed
After our defeat , Calvin told us he's the Commander of the division 6 of the Vipers and he asked us to join his squad
"I'm truly astonished by the fighting prowess of you five" He told us. "If you join my squad , I can make you even stronger" He continued
We declined and fled the scene , but he wasn't going to let us go that easily
A few days later , I received a call from an unknown number saying my younger siblings had been kidnapped and held at a location they disclosed to us
I rushed to the scene all on my own , there I discovered not only my younger siblings had been captured , but also all four of my guys were there all tied up.
I attempted to rescue them, but Calvin told me "We already know the locations of every one of their family members, try anything funny and we'll eliminate them and of course your friends too"
My guys kept crying out to me that I shouldn't listen
But with the lives of my siblings and friends on the line together with their close ones , I couldn't decline at that point , I decided to join his crew along with the rest of my guys
My younger siblings were let go and allowed to go home
We were all taken to some apartment and branded with tattoos on our arms and necks , we were then forced to swear allegiance to him against our will
"Use your strength for my cause and I will let you lot brandish your claws with no given pause , But if you can't brandish those claws , I'd be forced to punish for your flaws" He said these words to us
And ever since then we've been part of his Division
Sarah and Jack are both sitting down , processing the story as they could
SARAH ; Jack what do you think ?
JACK ; It's very similar to what Susan narrated to us , it's almost as if he walks around picking on everyone he could , to add to his little army
KAZUMA ; One of your guys were attacked ?
SARAH ; Yeah , the guy who beat you up yesterday
The flashback of his fight with Danny plays in his head
KAZUMA ; Oh him ? Of course Calvin would want to recruit him, he's ridiculously strong. But if you want to rescue him you have to hurry
JACK ; Why do you say that ?
KAZUMA ; Your friend is certainly not one who would follow a guy like Calvin , and he's definitely gonna turn him down
SARAH ; And what's there to worry about so much ?
KAZUMA ; When that happens , he's going to get killed
Sarah is distraught upon hearing what he just said and she grabs him by his Shirt
SARAH ; What !!? You can't be serious!!
KAZUMA ; I'm just saying it how it is , that's what has happened to everyone who discovers the little things about the vipers
JACK ; Sarah calm down , being hot headed isn't gonna help in any way
SARAH ; How can I stay calm !!? He could get killed any moment from now!
JACK ; I understand how you feel but we should be calm about things like this
Sarah let's go of Kazuma , walks to the other side of the room and bangs her fist against the wall several times out of frustration
KAZUMA ; Fucking hell , she's scary
JACK ; Haha , never mind her
KAZUMA ; Um , Right
JACK ; Now back to the point , you mentioned something about an apartment right? Would you mind telling me where that apartment is?
KAZUMA ; Alright I'll tell you , where's your phone ?
Jack hands his phone to Kazuma , he inputs co-ordinates onto the track map on his phone and hands it back to Jack
KAZUMA ; That's where the apartment is located , follow the directions and you should get there
JACK ; Thanks for this
KAZUMA ; You shouldn't be thanking me , I only fulfilled my part of the agreement , now you would keep those videos and pictures a secret
JACK ; Sure I will , but I wanna say one thing
KAZUMA ; What's that ?
JACK ; You should quit that gang , I don't see a reason you should keep following that Calvin guy
KAZUMA ; Did you listen to anything I just said ? The Lives of my siblings and friends depend on our status as one with the Vipers
JACK ; But you said it yourself , He recruited you because you're a good fighter , and not so long ago you were defeated by the same guy his squad kidnapped
Thoughts of realization hit Kazuma upon hearing what Jack just said
JACK ; You think if he hears about your defeat , he won't discard you?
SARAH ; And when that happens , your affiliation with the gang means nothing
JACK ; That's quite right , and from what you've just narrated , I can easily tell he's the type to discard those he deems weak and only allows the strong & competent to stay by his side
KAZUMA ; Uh ? what are you saying ?
JACK ; Basically , I'm saying you're one of the weak now , It's better for you to just quit now
KAZUMA ; Quit ? Then what will happen to my friends and Siblings ?
JACK ; That's up to you to decide , you can sit there and tremble in your little shorts if that's what you want
Jack gets up from his seat and begins to leave the room
SARAH ; Are we leaving already ?
JACK ; Yeah , we have all the information we need , all that is left is to contact Fred and Susan
Jack and Sarah were about to walk out of the room when the thug by the door regains consciousness
THUG ; Damn what the hell just happened ?
He raises his head up and sees Sarah looking at him
THUG ; You bitch , what are you doing here !!?
He gets up and tries to attack her, but Kazuma Intervenes by yelling 'STOP' at him and slamming his fist against the wall
KAZUMA ; Stand Down , we have no reason to fight these guys anymore
THUG ; But boss , isn't she the bitch who broke your arm !!?
Sarah violently grabs the thug by his neck
SARAH ; Who're you calling a bitch !!?
THUG ; Hey let me go !!!
KAZUMA ; Please let him go , he's on edge because he doesn't know what's happening
THUG ; But she broke your arm !
KAZUMA ; Yeah she did , and it was a good price to pay for knowing who our real enemy is
THUG ; What do you mean ?
Kazuma and his Friend stare at themselves for a brief moment
KAZUMA ; Calvin has been using us all this time
THUG ; Using us ? But we upheld the side of our agreement , so how exactly has he been using us?
KAZUMA ; Remember the guy we fought in the hallway yesterday ?
THUG ; Yeah , he was strong as hell
KAZUMA ; Apparently he fought against Calvin's unit yesterday , and was Captured in the process
THUG ; Okay , but what does that have to do with us ?
KAZUMA ; Remember what Calvin said to us back then ?
THUG ; What did he say ?
KAZUMA ; "Use your strength for my cause and I will let you lot brandish your claws with no given pause , But if you can't brandish those claws , I'd be forced to punish for your flaws" I'm sure you remember these words
THUG ; Wait , he said he'd punish for our flaws , does that mean---
KAZUMA ; Yes , it's exactly what it sounds like , We were just tools for him , we've been carrying out orders on his whim , it's all clear now
THUG ; Damn it !!
KAZUMA ; Now it means nothing if we're part of the group or not , we lost to a fucking 2nd year student. Now we don't know what's going to happen to our siblings and family members
Kazuma turns to Jack and Susan
KAZUMA ; Let us help you rescue your friend
THUG ; Hey , boss what are you doing !? , is it okay to trust them !?
KAZUMA ; Calvin would still come for us sooner or later , it's better if we take the fight to him
SARAH ; Sure , you can come along , but are you planning to fight with one arm ?
KAZUMA ; Well if I was in top condition , I would go along with you guys , but I can't
JACK ; So what do want to do now ?
KAZUMA ; In my place let my friends help you out instead , they're pretty strong themselves
Sarah looks at the thug in the room with predator eyes and points at him
SARAH ; You really expect me to work alongside this animal !!?
THUG ; Don't call me an animal woman , I have a name , it's Pascal !!
KAZUMA ; Come to think of it , we haven't introduced ourselves
JACK ; I'm Brennan Jackson
SARAH ; Hansley Sarah is my name
KAZUMA ; I'm Shin Kazuma , well you guy guys know my full name already
Just as they were talking , the two other thugs that were previously knocked out regain consciousness and stand on their feet
They are quite puzzled to see Kazuma casually speaking to the people they once had an unpleasant encounter
Pascal points at each of them introducing them to Jack and Sarah
PASCAL ; The tall and slim guy with a buzz cut over there is Menard , and the plump looking guy with an afro over here is Cordero
MENARD ; Hey Pascal , what is this ? some family meeting!!? What are these guys doing here!!??
PASCAL ; Relax , I'll explain the situation to you guys
Pascal then proceeds to explain the whole situation to Menard and Cordero
Menard is angered by what he heard and slams his fist against the wall
PASCAL ; Can you please stop that !! what's with you guys and slamming you fists against the wall !!?
CORDERO ; Well I kind of expected this to happen at some point
MENARD ; So what are we gonna do now !? Calvin's men are gonna come after us sooner or later
Kazuma turns to his Guys
KAZUMA ; We're gonna fight them , I've decided to trust Jack and Sarah
MENARD ; Uh !!? Fight!!? Did you forget what happened last time we faced them !!?
CORDERO ; If you wanna be a pussy you can stay behind Menard
Menard Butts heads with Cordero
MENARD ; What did you say!!? You fat fuck !!
CORDERO ; You wanna fight me !!? Fine , I'll take you on !
Pascal steps in and knocks both of them on the head , stopping their confrontation in the process
PASCAL ; This isn't the time to be fighting you idiots
With hands holding their heads in pain they apologize to Pascal
MENARD & CORDERO ; We're sorry
Jack is giggling as he's watching Pascal and the others
JACK ; They remind me of a certain pair
Then he looks at Sarah with a very wild Grin , Sarah looks back at him with a very disgusted look
SARAH ; Shut up , or I'll break your Jaw , I couldn't care less about that Asshole
JACK ; Hehehe , and who was it throwing a tantrum after hearing he was in Danger?
Sarah doesn't answer him but kicks his ankle instead
JACK ; Ouch , you sure are one violent woman
Pascal turns to Jack and Sarah again to conclude on their plans
PASCAL ; So what's the plan now ? How are we gonna rescue your friend ?
JACK ; We had two of our friends investigate the scene of the fight at The Annex and one other of our friends to stay back in school to watch the movements of the students left in school
PASCAL ; Any word from them yet ?
JACK ; Not yet , But they should have found something out by now
SARAH ; I'll call Susan and ask her about the situation
JACK ; Alright , you do that , I'll contact Silva
CORDERO ; What about us ?
KAZUMA ; The rest of you guys will go with Jack and Sarah to infiltrate the Safehouse
MENARD ; And how do we do that effectively? , we clearly don't have the numbers
JACK ; Don't worry about that , Fred should have a plan in place
MENARD ; "should?" You're not even certain !
CORDERO ; Menard if you're scared , you can just stay back , like the little bitch you are
MENARD ; Cordero shut up !!
Pascal claps his hands together to get their attention
PASCAL ; Would you two stop acting like little kids !!? , We're having an important discussion here
CORDERO ; Hehe , Sorry Pascal
KAZUMA ; Very well then , Sarah please contact this Susan girl and explain the current state of things to her , the rest of you guys get ready to move out
JACK ; Thanks for your help
KAZUMA ; Don't worry about it , it's the least I can do , I should be thanking you guys instead
JACK ; Really? It's all good then
Jack steps outside the room to make a phone call to Susan
PASCAL ; Sarah , we're all set here
SARAH ; In that case let's get ready to move out
Jack is outside the room , speaking to Susan on the phone
(*Susan's Speaking on the other side of the phone*)
(*Susan's Speaking on the other side of the phone*) [https://img.wattpad.com/c36abda21c9a198269531f8130edc441f66960ca/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4a59352d767671375873683952413d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306339356239333831356666393130343137353334363437342e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
JACK ; Hey sis , you and Fred found anything out ?
SUSAN ; Yes , we were just eavesdropping on some of the gang members , they're all in green
JACK ; So their color is green huh , what are you guys doing now ?
SUSAN ; For now we're keeping an eye on them , But it seems they're about to move , they've been talking about some safe house and some raid , It seems that's where they're holding Danny hostage
JACK ; That's where he's being held
SUSAN ; Uh ? How do you know that ?
JACK ; Sarah and I just finished interrogating the suspects in this case , and we acquired allies in the process
SUSAN ; Sounds like a lot happened over there
JACK ; Haha , you could say that
SUSAN ; They're on the move , we're gonna tail them
JACK ; Okay ,but make sure you stay out of sight
SUSAN ; Sure I will
JACK ; I'll send you the location of the safehouse , secure a rendezvous point a fair distance away from the safehouse , send me the exact location and we'll meet you there
SUSAN ; No problem bro , talk to you later
Just as Jack hangs up the phone , Sarah walks out of the room with Pascal and the rest of the guys
SARAH ; What's happening now ?
JACK ; Fred and Susan are currently tailing some of the Viper members to their base
MENARD ; Tailing them!!? Are they crazy!!? What if they get caught !?
SARAH ; You're such a worrywart aren't you?
MENARD ; I aint worried about them
JACK ; It's gonna be fine Menard , they're not gonna get caught
Jack's Phone vibrates his pocket , he checks it and sees a text from Silva saying "Nothing out of the ordinary in school here"
JACK ; Seems Silva found nothing in school
SARAH ; Well that finally narrows everything down to the Safehouse
CORDERO ; Then let's get going
Jack , Sarah and the rest of the guys move out of the hospital and head towards the Safehouse
NARRATOR : We will now rewind to the point where Jack and the rest of his friends gathered at the courtyard after their classes
This Short flashback is going to show what Susan and Fred were up to , after they all dispersed to carry out their respective investigations
PART 4
*FLASHBACK BEGINS*
FRED ; Susan , let's get going too
SUSAN ; Alright , Bye Sarah take care guys
Susan and Fred make their way out of the school towards the Annex to seek out information on the Vipers
They walk along the streets in the annex for short while before getting to the area where Danny was attacked , as described by Susan to Fred
Fred sees a few broken signboards and a dented railing bar
FRED ; Seriously , what was he fighting against? Monsters?
SUSAN ; It wouldn't be much of a stretch to call them that though
FRED ; Haha Is that so? We'll have to be careful then
SUSAN ; Yeah , we have to be
FRED ; Let's check out the stores
They continue along the street passing by a few stores before encountering two homeless men who begIn to ask both of them for some money
HOMELESS MAN ; Hey kid , would you mind sparing us some cash , we're hungry and homeless
FRED ; No problem chap
SUSAN ; *whisper* You sure about this?
FRED ; There's no harm in helping a few homeless people
Fred hands them some cash in an envelope
HOMELESS MAN ; Thanks a lot kid , I appreciate it
FRED ; Haha , Don't mention it
The homeless men leave the scene and continue walking along the street
SUSAN ; I don't think we should be wasting time with some junkies , they didn't seem like homeless people
FRED ; It's because they're junkies , we can afford wasting some time with them
Susan was puzzled by what Fred was saying
FRED ; Let's check out some of the other stores
Susan and Fred check out some of the other stores in the vicinity but found no answer
SUSAN ; We can't seem to find anything so far
Susan sees Fred typing a few things on his phone
SUSAN; What are you doing Fred ?
FRED ; Let's check out the street we were previously walking on , we might find something interesting there
SUSAN ; Yeah let's go , we must have missed something
Susan and Fred return to the street they were previously walking on , they continue along the street until they come across an antique store
Fred takes a glance into the store and sees two guys making a purchase from the Salesman by the counter
It was the two homeless men they previously encountered
FRED ; Susan , let's check this store out
SUSAN ; Uh? Are you sure ?
FRED ; My gut tells me a treasure chest is here
SUSAN ; (in her head) What is he now , A pirate ?
Fred walks into the store , Susan follows after him but she pauses for a brief moment as she sees a few men glaring at both of them as they walk into the store
SUSAN ; Fred , seems the residents don't want us around here , we should make hurry with whatever we're doing
FRED ; Relax Susan , it just means we're in the right place , let's go talk to the salesman
SUSAN ; You're absolutely not tensioned by all what is happening around us
FRED ; Haha What good will it do us to be tensioned
They walk into the store and head towards the counter , they pass by two shady individuals who just bought something in a small satchet from the salesman
Fred and the two men exchange gazes as they walk past each other
Fred sees this and he has a grin on his face
FRED ; Haha , so that's what happening here , it makes this easier
SUSAN ; What's happening ?
FRED ; Seems things can go much more smoothly than I anticipated , Let's talk to the Salesman
Fred walks briskly towards the counter and comes face to face with the salesman
The Salesman is cleaning an old piece of artifact by the counter when Fred begins speaking to him
FRED ; Good evening pops
SALESMAN ; What a surprise , so a few kids these days are interested in crappy stores like this ?
FRED ; Hahaha , you can say I'm quite a fan of the old stuff
SALESMAN ; You're one interesting kid aren't you ?
Fred briefly looks around the store and sees a glittering steel board hanging by the side of the wall
FRED ; I must say , You've got quite the establishment here
SALSEMAN ; Haha , you've got a keen eye , been running this place for 6 years now
FRED ; I see you're quite the nifty storeowner
Fred points to the steel board by the wall
FRED ; What's that board over there ?
SALESMAN ; You got a good eye kid. That board over there is actually a fragment of one of the XCS Battle Drones that were used during the great war 50 years ago.
FRED ; The XCS Battle Drones uh , if I remember correctly most of them were destroyed during the siege years ago
SALESMAN ; Correct , I see you know your history quite well
FRED ; Hahaha , it's not that much of a big deal
SALESMAN ; Yeah , it was really bad
FRED ; Pops , you were there ?
SALESMAN ; Yeah , I was still a young man then , my neighborhood was really hit hard by the war , properties were destroyed , people got killed but luckily I survived
FRED ; Sounds like things were really intense back then
SALESMAN ; Yes it was , but I'm glad things have cooled off a bit now
FRED ; You really had it rough pops
Out of the sight of the salesman , Susan takes out the piece of paper containing the sketch of the tattoo and she hands it to Fred
FRED ; Yeah it was nice listening to your old tale pops. But can we get right down to business ?
SALESMAN ; What do you mean ?
Fred places the paper on the counter and begins to question the salesman
FRED ; Have you seen this anywhere ?
SALESMAN ; What's that ? some sort of kindergarten drawing ? Haven't seen it anywhere
SUSAN ; (*pout*) Hmph! , Like you can draw any better
FRED ; Okay let me rephrase that question. Have you seen guys with this tattoo on their bodies around here?
SALESMAN ; Shady guys walk in and out of the stores here , but I haven't seen anyone with this green tattoo
FRED ; Oh really ?
SALESMAN ; If you've got no important business here , you should leave , this isn't an area where you kids should be hanging around
FRED ; Okay sir
The Salesman leaves the front of the counter and heads to the door behind him leading to his store
Fred begins to run his palm back and forth along the counter's surface and rubs his fingers together
SUSAN ; (*whisper*) What are you doing ?
FRED ; Seems our guy isn't so careful about his dealings
SUSAN ; What do you mean?
FRED ; We're gonna get the information we need very shortly
SUSAN ; I have no idea what you're talking about , but let's make it quick
Fred shows Susan his palm
FRED ; Take a look at this
SUSAN ; Oh wow , isn't this some discovery
The Salesman returns from his store and sees Susan and Fred still standing at the counter
SALESMAN ; You kids are still here ? I thought I said you should leave
FRED ; "The trick to not being discovered until it's too late to become part of the expected surrounding"
SALESMAN ; Now you're quoting Raymond E. Feist , what do you want again kid ?
FRED ; "Stars , Hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires" , I like this quote from William Shakespeare himself
Susan is lost listening to the way Fred is speaking
SUSAN ; (*in her head*) What kind of Character is he trying to play ?
The Salesman is now beginning to feel uneasy
SALESMAN ; Okay it's getting annoying now kid , what are you trying to say ?
FRED ; Well I'm basically saying you should be more careful with your side hustle here
SALESMAN ; What the hell are you talking about kid ?
FRED ; Don't play dumb old man , I know what you're doing here
SALESMAN ; I have no idea what you're talking about , now leave before I call the NSF
FRED ; Well you can do that , it makes our job easier
The Salesman is beginning to lose his patience
SALESMAN ; Again , what are you talking about !!!??
FRED ; You've been dealing Ludes and Meth in this store
SALESMAN ; Uh? what are you talking about?
FRED ; You've also been dealing Caffiene in its raw form and Nicotine also
SALESMAN ; You're high or something?
FRED ; No sir , I'm perfectly sober
Fred rubs his palm back and forth on the counter until he gathers a little amount of the residue of powders left on the counter into a small heap
Fred rubs his palm back and forth on the counter until he gathers a little amount of the residue of powders left on the counter into a small heap [https://img.wattpad.com/f3be2b208fb91e087ed2e39e12e59932332e7004/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f657373507561526a505466694a773d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306339373130636562666238343339313438323133383530382e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
FRED ; Right here is proof , I can see a few crystal particles in there , those are the Caffiene and Meth Crystals , am I wrong ?
The Salesman is unable to speak as he's shocked by how much Fred has Discovered from touching his counter alone
FRED ; You sold Meth to those two men who walked out of your store not long ago
The Salesman is now sweating profusely not knowing the next step to take
FRED ; Haha , You're wondering how I made this discovery? Fine I'll tell you.
Fred begins to narrate how he made the discovery :-
It was quite simple , on our way here we encountered a few junkies who told us they were homeless , of course we weren't fooled but we decided to play along.
They asked us for some cash , and of course , as the good person I am , I decided to help them with some cash in an envelope and they left the scene.
But they didn't know something , there was a GLS Chip mixed in with the coins in the envelope.
*GLS Means GLOBAL LOCALISATION SOFTWARE*
We decided not to follow them immediately because it would have seemed suspicious , so we decided to pass some time checking out the other stores.
Susan cuts into his narration
SUSAN ; So , you just decided to waste time and energy pointlessly checking out the other stores
Fred makes a dumb and funny looking face
FRED ; Hehehe , I just wanted to spend a few minutes walking with a beautiful princess like you
Susan isn't buying into his flattery and she has a serious look on her face
FRED ; Okay , I'm sorry. But thanks to that we were able to discover this place
SUSAN ; And what if they never walked into this store ?
Fred makes his usual dumb looking face, sweating nervously, not knowing how to explain things to her
SUSAN ; You're really an idiot
FRED ; (*sobs*) I'm heartbroken
SALESMAN ; What are you two doing?
FRED ; Now allow me to continue my narration!!!
Fred Continues with his narration:-
I was closely watched them on my phone while they were moving about with the GLS chip still in the envelop , looking for which store they'll stop at.
And they stopped right here , in your store.
It seems pretty evident that this is where they're getting their drugs from
SALESMAN ; Now that you know all of this , what the fuck are you going to do!!?
A group of rugged looking men walk into the store , it was the group of men who were glaring at Susan when she entered the store
SALESMAN ; I have tons of boys who can fuck you up in a few seconds , we can't let you leave this place alive now haha
FRED ; You're now resorting to violence uh , I wouldn't recommend that old man
SALESMAN ; You're trying to act tough now ? There's nowhere for you to run to kid
FRED ; No , what I'm saying is , I've sent the location of your store to the NSF , they'll be here in ten minutes
Fred shows him his phone with a map and a blinking indicator on screen
Fred shows him his phone with a map and a blinking indicator on screen [https://img.wattpad.com/736099d3f56aa29bd0ee9b4a375b994b58cf8d50/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f31656e44593259304866543834673d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306361653734346530636639363138373439303037323834322e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
SALESMAN ; What? You had just one of those chips
FRED ; I never said I had only one of them. The second chip is placed somewhere in your store and of course I aint telling you where it is.
SALESMAN ; You fucking brat , I'll kill you
The salesman attempts a punch from behind the counter , Fred dodges his punch , pulls him by his arm , throws him to the floor and restrains him
Susan is taken by surprise
The other men in the store try to rush towards Fred , but Susan stands in their way
THUG ; Out of our way bitch !!
FRED ; Don't fucking move , one step and I'll break his arm
SALESMAN ; Hey get off me kid !!
FRED ; There was also what you said about the tattoo
SALESMAN ; What ?
FRED ; I never mentioned the color of the tattoo
The salesman is hit with realization of the blunder he had made earlier
**THROWBACK to when the salesman said "I haven't seen anyone with this green tattoo"**
SALESMAN ; Fuck You !!
FRED ; Not only do you deal drugs here , you also have some connection to a notorious gang , I'm sure you know the punishment for such crimes
SALESMAN ; Who gives a shit about that !?
FRED ; Haha , Of Course you do !
THUGS ; Hey Kid let him go !!
SUSAN ; We'll let him go , once we get our answer
FRED ; Okay old man , you have just the stipulated minutes to speak up , once that's up the NSF officers would be swarming the place , so it's up to you now
SALESMAN ; You're not getting a single word out of me kid
Fred continues to torture the salesman by twisting his arm , but the man doesn't say a single word
Fred is anxious and begins to lose his patience, because he knows the current situation is also disadvantageous to him
Susan also had a very anxious look on her face as if she's saying to Fred "HURRY UP!"
FRED ; (*in his head*) Shit , this old man's stubborn
The salesman begins to laugh hysterically as if he just suddenly lost his mind
SALESMAN ; Hahahaha , once ten minutes are up , the NSF will get here!!! , we'll all get caught and we'll all rot in prison together , hahahaha , I love the sound of that !!
FRED ; (*in his head*) Shit , he just completely lost his mind
SALESMAN ; Hahaha Nobody wins , isn't that a happy ending !!!??
SUSAN ; (*in her head*) Damn it , Mission Failed
It's now tense race against time , with only a few minutes left
At this point , Susan and Fred have no other option , they nod as they look at each other, agreeing to flee the scene
But before they flee the scene , one of the thugs yell at them
THUG ; It's at the Bar !!!!
The Salesman suddenly regains his common sense
SALESMAN ; Uh ?
SUSAN ; Bar ? which bar?
THUG ; The Tur-Mio Bar , just at the other side of The-Annex
SALESMAN ; You fucking prick !! why did you tell him!!??
THUG ; Sorry old man , I'm not about to rot in prison with anyone
SALESMAN ; You asshole!!! I'll kill you !!
Fred slaps his mouth to shut him up
SALESMAN ; Ouch ! You damn brat!!
Fred walks up to the thug who just provided answers to them and shakes his hand
FRED ; Thanks so much man
THUG ; Sure no problem , but what are we gonna do about the NSF
FRED ; Leave that up to me , let's get outta here while we can
THUGS ; Alright!!
The Salesman gets back on his feet
SALESMAN ; Hey get back here !!! I'm not letting you go !!!
He attempts to chase after Fred , but Susan knocks him out with a steel bar she found lying around
He falls to the ground out cold
FRED ; Hehehe , Not bad Susan
SUSAN ; Don't belittle me , I can do that much
FRED ; Hahaha , sorry princess
Susan slightly bonks the bar on Fred's head
SUSAN ; And stop calling me princess
FRED ; Ouch
Fred walks towards the entrance of the store , and pulls the GLS chip from the doorknob
SUSAN ; So , that's where you placed it
FRED ; Hehehe , now let's get outta here
Fred and the rest of the group run out of the store and head down the street [https://img.wattpad.com/6bca4e680b60221c89c9146362d87e4386cde2e6/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f48486e7875724273724d524665773d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306339643532356634323332363931363339393731333034392e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Fred and the rest of the group run out of the store and head down the street
Fred sees a small park ahead of him and he rushes to place the chip under one of the park benches
They could all hear the sirens of the NSF Cruisers heading their way and it kept getting louder and louder indicating they were getting closer
FRED ; Shit they're here already , they got here too quick
THUGS ; Hey kids ! come this way !!
Fred and Susan follow the lead of the group of thugs and head into an alleyway to escape the pursuit of the NSF Officers
They continue running along the alleyway till they found themselves in an open space which was the other side of The-Annex
They walk into an empty garage so as to relax a bit
Fred and Susan are breathing heavily and are practically exhausted due to the quick succession of things that have just happened
FRED ; (*panting*) Fucking hell !! That was intense
SUSAN ; (*panting*) Please don't ever do this again , Fred
THUG ; Hahaha , You're crazy kid
FRED ; (*panting*) I get that a lot
SUSAN ; So where is this bar ?
One of the thugs point to a Building just across the street
THUG ; That's it over there
FRED ; So that's it uh
THUG ; Yeah , that's the bar , but you have to be careful around here
FRED ; Why ?
THUG ; This area is crawling with the guys you're looking for , you might run into them at the bar
FRED ; Well , we came here knowing that
THUG ; You did? , That's okay but you still need to be careful
Fred gets up and prepares to leave the garage
FRED ; Thanks for your help back then , we'll be going now
THUG ; Don't get the wrong idea kid , I didn't do it for you , I just didn't want our joint to be shut down
FRED ; Hehehe , you should be more honest
The thug throws a can at Fred
THUG ; Get the fuck outta here
FRED ; Alright Alright. Susan let's get going
SUSAN ; I'm coming
Susan and Fred make their way to the Bar at the other side of the street
Susan strikes up a conversation with Fred as they're walking towards the bar
SUSAN: Fred , what were those chips anyways?
Fred shows her the chip
FRED : You mean these?
SUSAN: Yeah , those
FRED : Well they were basically on sale at a store, was told it was quite useful in tracking lost objects and also in emergency situations
SUSAN: How ?
Fred takes off his glasses and attaches the chip to it
FRED: For example, I can attach this chip to my glasses, and in case my glasses get lost , I can easily find it.
SUSAN: oh oh
Fred takes out his phone and shows Susan an app on his phone
FRED : The GLS chips have an app , and this app has a SOS feature, just with a push of a button , you can report a crime or a distress call
SUSAN: This is quite handy
FRED : Haha , I know right
The duo find themselves in front of the bar
SUSAN: We're here
FRED : Alright, let's get to business then
They walk in through the entrance and see that the bar is filled with tons of people
Smell of cigarettes and booze fill the air, Disco lights flashing and loud music playing , it felt like a night club and it made for a very stuffy atmosphere for the duo [https://img.wattpad.com/8f65dfe0ed9f767636363acf934e15eb55d51798/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f6e74436f7330426e6752694d76773d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306361303932333563383464613436363638363233353839302e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Smell of cigarettes and booze fill the air, Disco lights flashing and loud music playing , it felt like a night club and it made for a very stuffy atmosphere for the duo
SUSAN ; Gosh this place stinks
FRED ; We'll have to put up with it , let's go talk to the bartender
SUSAN ; Hope we find the Gang members we're looking for
Fred and Susan makes their way to the counter , sit down on the stools there and proceed to order a few drinks
FRED ; Hey there buddy , how are you doing?
BARTENDER ; Hey there , haven't seen you young folks around here before
Fred puts his arm around Susan
FRED ; Yeah , you know , My girlfriend and I are on our way to the home so we just decided to stop by for a few drinks
Fred winks at her a few times , indicating to her that she should just play along
She's reluctant , but she does it anyway
SUSAN ; Yes , my darling and I had a great time
BARTENDER ; Hahaha , That's good to hear. it's good to be young isn't it
FRED ; Haha , it sure is
BARTENDER ; So what can I get for the young couple tonight?
FRED ; Two glasses of Martini please
BARTENDER ; Two glasses of Martini coming right up
The bartender displays exquisite skill in the preparation of the Martini , From the mixing of the vodka to the stirring and addition of ice cubes before pouring the drink into the glass

FRED ; Wow you're quite good at this
BARTENDER ; Been in the business for a long time , it's only natural
FRED ; Hahaha ,You're Not even trying to be modest
BARTENDER ; There's no reason to be modest about your strong points , Be proud of them , That's how I see things
FRED ; Oh , what an interesting philosophy you live by
BARTENDER ; I believe each individual has his own principles he lives by , and so do you
FRED ; Well that's true
BARTENDER ; Now Mister and Madame , enjoy your martini while it's still chilled , I'll be at the back briefly to get some more bottles
FRED ; Thank you sir
Susan picks up her glass and takes a sip , then she notices a small group three guys sitting at the corner of the Bar and she brings this to Fred's attention
SUSAN ; Hey , Fred don't you think those guys over there stand out a little?
FRED ; Hmm , now that you mention it
SUSAN ; I'll keep an eye on them , proceed to question the Bartender
FRED ; Alright , My Princess
Susan gives him a Serious death stare
FRED ; (*scared*) Haha , I'm sorry
The Bartender returns from the store with a few more bottles in an ice bucket
BARTENDER ; Oh , you're still here young sir
FRED ; Yeah , I'm enjoying myself quite well
BARTENDER ; Well that's good to hear young sir
Fred leans in closer to the desk , takes out the sketch of the tattoo and shows the bartender
FRED ; Do you know anything about this ?
BARTENDER ; Young sir , I know of no such thing
Fred places some cash on the saucer he previously used , pushes it towards the bartender and he continues to question him with a grin on his face
The Bartender sees the cash , unable to resist the offer
FRED ; I'll ask again my friend , What do you know about this ?
BARTENDER ; You really shouldn't be branding that logo in public carelessly
FRED; So you DO know something
BARTENDER ; Yeah , they're called the Green Vipers , they all wear green leather jackets as their dress code , quite the notorious group they are
FRED ; What else ?
BARTENDER ; Why I said you should be careful is because you're currently in one of their territories , The-Annex is run by one of their commanders
FRED ; And what's the name of that commander
BARTENDER ; You can't expect me to utter his name in a public space such as this
Fred adds extra cash to the saucer that he previously pushed toward the bartender

FRED ; So , what's his name ?
The bartender looks left and right to ensure nobody else catches a whiff of their conversation
BARTENDER ; Come closer
Fred and Susan lean closer to hear what he has to say and they continue their conversation quietly
BARTENDER ; His name is Theo Calvin
FRED ; Hmmm , Theo Calvin uh , seems like an interesting individual
BARTENDER ; Their gang is divided into 10 different divisions , and he's the commander of their 6th division
FRED ; Meaning he's the 6th strongest of all the commanders ?
BARTENDER ; I wouldn't put it that way , but word has it that he's a very dangerous person
FRED ; Haha , how scary
SUSAN ; And do have any idea where any of their safe houses are ?
BARTENDER ; I'm afraid I don't have any information regarding their whereabouts
FRED ; That's fine , but how come you know this much?
BARTENDER ; Apparently , members of the Green Vipers Frequent this establishment , so they love talking about their division commanders while their drunk
FRED ; They're quite carefree
BARTENDER ; But there's a particular person they seem to talk about a lot
FRED ; And who's that?
BARTENDER ; Their Division 1 Commander , Petrov Sylvia
SUSAN ; Sylvia ? A Woman is Division Commander in a Gang?
BARTENDER ; She's not just any woman , they describe her as a ruthless monster
FRED ; Hehe , a woman huh , I bet she's cute
SUSAN ; This isn't a joke Fred
BARTENDER ; Your girlfriend is right young sir , Sylvia isn't one to be joked about , she's very tall , got long violet colored hair , and she's famous for impaling rival gang members on the giant spear she wields
FRED ; Woah , that's pretty insane
BARTENDER ; Heard she single-handedly defeated a group of 20 elite gang members of a rival group , she's that powerful
SUSAN ; Yikes
BARTENDER ; If you by chance run into her , fighting isn't an option , you must run
FRED ; Well , thanks for the warning
Susan tugs Fred's shirt to get his attention
SUSAN ; The Bartender said the Vipers come to this place often , so those guys at the corner of the bar must be part of the gang
FRED ; We can't be sure about that yet
Just as they were speaking , one of the guys sitting down takes off his hoodie and it reveals the Viper Gang tattoo on his neck
SUSAN ; You see !
FRED ; You were right after all
SUSAN ; What do we do now?
FRED ; Let's trail them when they start making their move
SUSAN ; Sure
The Bartender interrupts their conversation to tell them one last thing
BARTENDER ; One more thing before you guys go
SUSAN ; What is that ?
BARTENDER ; You should also be on the lookout for their Vice Captain and Head Captain
FRED ; Why is that ?
BARTENDER ; Sylvia may be a monster , but the two men who stand above the rest of the Green Vipers are Demons , If you encounter any one of them , you may not even have the chance to run , especially with Viper Himself
FRED ; We'll be very careful then
BARETENDER ; That so? Good luck
The guys who were sitting at the corner of the bar begin to take their leave
SUSAN ; Hey Fred , they're on the move
FRED ; Let's follow them
SUSAN ; I'll be going ahead
Susan leaves the bar ahead of Fred
Fred hands over the glasses they used , leaves his seat and begins to head for the exit
FRED ; Thanks for everything
BARTENDER ; You're welcome
Fred exits the bar and meets Susan outside
SUSAN ; They headed for the alleyway
FRED ; Aright let's find out what they're up to
Fred and Susan head towards the Alleyway and see the Group of three guys talking to each other by a parked car which seemed to be owned by them

In order stay out of sight Susan and Fred hide behind a Large and Empty Garbage bin just close enough to eavesdrop on their conversation
THUG 1 ; Nice to lose some steam once in a while
THUG 2 ; No Kiddding , Commander Calvin's always working us to the bone
THUG 3 ; Heard we've got some raid tonight
THUG 2 ; Yeah , Apparently some gang is using out turf to gather weapons to wage war on our territory
THUG 1 ; Haha , they've got some nerve doing that
THUG 3 ; We have just a few minutes left before we are summoned to the Safe House
THUG 2 ; Yeah , we've got to make preparations to make after all
THUG 1 ; Besides did you guys hear? Commander Calvin wants to recruit some kid to our division
THUG 3 ; Yeah , some Caramel hair kid who picked a fight with us
This statement catches the attention of Susan and Fred
SUSAN ; They're talking about Danny
FRED ; Hmm , so one of them were involved in the attack on Danny
SUSAN ; Yeah , I recognize one of them , the guy with sunglasses on , he was there
FRED ; I see , let's keep listening to what they're saying
SUSAN ; Okay
They continue to eavesdrop on their conversation
THUG 1 ; I heard he defeated Castagne in a fight
THUG 3 ; Yeah , he was insanely tough , he took out a few of our men too
THUG 2 ; Woah! , Seriously!!?
THUG 1 ; Castagne is one of our elite members , hard to believe he got beat up by some kid
THUG 3 ; I know it's hard to believe
THUG 2 ; Hahaha , I hope he gets recruited , I wanna fight him
THUG 1 ; And you'll get beat up
THUG 2 ; Like hell I'll get beaten by some kid
Upon hearing what he said they all laugh for a brief moment
THUG 1 ; So , was the kid alone ?
THUG 3 ; No he wasn't
THUG 1 ; Who else was with him
The Thug takes off his sunglasses as if ready to say something very important
THUG 3 ; I have never seen anything like it before guys
THUG 2 ; What , what was it ?
THUG 3 ; He was with a blue haired beauty !!
The two other thugs are excited by upon hearing this just like a Dog wagging its tail for a treat
THUG 2 ; ooh ooh , so he was with a woman
THUG 1 ; Come on , Come on , tell us , how was she!!?
He begins to describe Susan with a Fantasized image of her in his head
THUG 3 ; She was amazing guys!! , Blue long hair like a Delphinium in full bloom , Blue Eyes like a glowing Aquamarine gemstone , Curves like an hourglass , Fair and Glowing skin , And above all .....
THUG 2 ; Above all ?, what what ? , c'mon tell us !
THUG 1 ; Yeah tell us !!
The Thug takes a pose in comedic way
THUG 3 ; SHE HAD REALLYYY BIG BOOBS !!!!
The thug says this while moving his hands in a circular motion as to describe to size of her breasts
THUG 1 ; Woahh !!
THUG 2 ; A Pretty girl with big boobs , the perfect combination !!
"HURRAY FOR BOOBS !!!!" All three of them cheer in unison while raising their fists in the air
Susan is slightly leaning over the Garbage bin with her head slightly visible, listening to what they're saying
And she is incredibly uncomfortable listening to them and watching them as they act in their comical fashion
SUSAN ; Geez , what a bunch of weirdos
Susan turns to Fred to speak to him but she's creeped out by the stupid face he's making while staring at her Breasts
Fred is completely spaced out while staring at Susan's Breasts from his lower crouched position
He's completely unaware that he's drooling while staring at her Breasts and He's also unaware that he's been caught staring
FRED ; (*in his head*) Hehe , holy shit they're right , Susan's got really big boobs , and it even looks better from up close , Hahaha I fucking love this view
FRED ; (*in his head*) Hehe , holy shit they're right , Susan's got really big boobs , and it even looks better from up close , Hahaha I fucking love this view [https://img.wattpad.com/a4a70b75fe336cca1a2f88250d0349c8ceb2611e/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f736f63306464324a796c4a5843413d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306361616265626466656364363330333931393839343434362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Susan taps Fred on the shoulder a few times to get his attention
FRED ; Uh , what's it Susan?
Susan wears a fake smile on her face as an attempt to hide her disgust
SUSAN ; Fred you've got some dirt on your glasses , let me help you clean it up
FRED ; Aww , you're so sweet
Fred takes off his glasses and gives it to Susan
Just as he's not paying attention, Susan pokes his eyes hard with two of her fingers and drops his glasses next to him
FRED ; Fuck , my eyes!
He falls to the ground in pain and he's careful not to let out any loud sound so they wouldn't be found out
SUSAN ; Stay quiet or they'll find out we're here
FRED ; (*loud whisper*) What the fuck did you do that for !!?
Susan has a blank expression on her face
SUSAN ; I don't know
FRED ; You're quite terrible
SUSAN ; (*blank expression*) I Know
They both hear the beep sound of the car being unlocked and they lean over the garbage bin to see what's happening
THUG 3 ; We better get going , we're being called
THUG 1 ; It's almost time , we're gonna go wild tonight !
All three of them get into the car and they drive off
Susan and Fred don't leave their spot
FRED ; Shit they're leaving already and we don't know where the safehouse is
SUSAN ; If only we could get some directions
Just as they were wondering what to do next , Susan's phone begins to ring
SUSAN ; Oh , it's my bro
She answers the call , (*Jack's speaking on the other side of the phone*)
JACK ; Hey sis , you and Fred found anything out ?
SUSAN ; Yes , we were just eavesdropping on some of the gang members , they're all in green
JACK ; So their color is green huh , what are you guys doing now ?
SUSAN ; For now we're keeping an eye on them , But it seems they're about to move , they've been talking about some safe house and some raid , It seems that's where they're holding Danny hostage
JACK ; That's where he's being held
SUSAN ; Uh ? How do you know that ?
JACK ; Sarah and I just finished interrogating the suspects in this case , and we acquired allies in the process
SUSAN ; Sounds like a lot happened over there
JACK ; Haha , you could say that
SUSAN ; They're on the move , we're gonna tail them
JACK ; Okay ,but make sure you stay out of sight
SUSAN ; Sure I will
JACK ; I'll send you the location of the safehouse , secure a rendezvous point a fair distance away from the safehouse , send me the exact location and we'll meet you there
SUSAN ; No problem bro , talk to you later
Susan hangs up the phone and checks her notifications
She sees the attachment showing the location of the safehouse
SUSAN ; Fred , let's get going , My bro just found out where the location of the safehouse is [https://img.wattpad.com/8617333103d6ea63468680056848ecfbd35dfb00/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f716d44596847516e336972766a413d3d2d313235343833313035392e313731306361643763656638653137333433313631333638343737352e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
SUSAN ; Fred , let's get going , My bro just found out where the location of the safehouse is
FRED ; Well that's big help , let's be on our way
Susan and Fred leave the alleyway and begin to make their way towards the location
