Chapter 72
Brian ordered Killian to tie the hands of the attacker. They had gotten what they needed from him and all that was left for them to do was to lure the pilot outback. The problem there was that he was the only one flying the plane. The copilot who should have assisted him came down with the flu over the weekend and was unable to fly.
“Brian, let me go in and intercept him then take over the plane, that’s the only thing we can do now”, Jack said.
“That’s too dangerous. What if he’s armed?”, Killian said.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“You’re forgetting what I can do. I’m armed too and if he puts up a fight, I’ll show him the stuff I’m made of”, Jack said.
“Alright, you can go in but be careful. Don’t hesitate to defend yourself at all cost”, Brian said.
Jack nodded before walking toward the cockpit. He pulled open the door silently before going in, his gun tucked behind him.
“You’ll never succeed with this, you know that?”, the attacker spat.
Brian dealt him a heavy blow which sent him flying backwards. His head hit the wall and he was out cold within minutes.
“Damn, you’ve got a temper”, Killian chuckled.
“A temper that’s backed with substance. I can’t wait to end Wilfred and Antonio once again. I really don’t know how he escaped”, Brian said.
“I’m sure it was just by a sheer stroke of fate. But not to worry, since he’s alive, he’ll die a second death”, Killian said.
Just then, Jack walked in, dragging an unconcious pilot. There was a slight gash on his chin and Brian knew he had a fight before he could overpower the pilot.
“Gave you a tough time?”, Brian asked.
“You bet. Did you know he’s a demon?”, Jack said.
“What!”, Killian shouted.
“Demon? How? I didn’t know”, Brian seethed.
Jack raised the pilot’s arm to reveal a small tattoo that was synonymous to everyone who belonged to the demon pack.
“Why didn’t I know this all along”, Brian said.
“Apparently, he’s been hiding his true form from you and also his scent. That’s the reason why you couldn’t pick up on his scent ever since”, Jack said.
He dragged the pilot to lie beside the attacker who was still out cold from the blow he received earlier. Brian was glad about what they did, now they could focus on more important things that was top on their list.
“Who’s driving the plane”, Killian said.
“Relax, it’s on autopilot”, Jack chuckled.
“Good thinking man. Now, we have to look for a way to find these people and deal with them. The way I see it, an attack is imminent and the earlier we deal with this, the better for us”, Brian said.
“The thing is we don’t even know where they are. Our only known address is Croatia and that’s where professor Handel and his wife are”, Killian said.
“There’s a connection somewhere, I’m quite sure of it. We haven’t found it yet that’s why”, Brian said.
“What’s the army chief’s country?”, Jack asked.
“We know damn well that it’s the US of A”, Brian said.
“Oh right, sorry it must have slipped my mind”, he chuckled.
Later on, Jack safely landed the plane at the Paris airport. Before they got to the airport, Brian and Killian had revived the two attackers only for them to be tied again.
“You’ll never get away with this. The great master and the demon leader will get you for this”, the pilot seethed.
“Too bad I’m going to get away with it and you’ll be going down with them by the time I’m done with you”, Brian thundered.
Killian and Jack dragged them out of the plane towards a waiting van that would take them straight to a safehouse nobody knew about
They got there soon as they dragged the duo in, keeping them shut behind a huge iron bar that prevented them from shifting.
“And to think I trusted you”, Brian said.
For a minute, a look of shame flashed through the eyes of the pilot before it returned to the same hostile look Brian was used to now.
“The money they offered was too tempting to refuse so I had to bend”, he muttered.
Brian stared at him with disgust as he tried to reign down on the feeling of disgust he had for both of them.
“Trust isn’t a word anymore”, Killian said.
“Did you search them?”, Brian asked.
He couldn’t have them escaping when he had succeeded in capturing them. He was going to deal with them but first, he had to interrogate them.
Brian dragged a seat, placing it in front of the attackers. He was flanked by Jack and Killian who stood behind him, looking down menacingly at the men.
“It’s time for a little interrogation boys”, Brian chuckled.
“I don’t want to talk”, the pilot said.
“I’ll advise you to do that if you don’t want to get bathed in acid”, Jack smiled.
To buttress his claim, Killian brought out a jar of the poisonous substance from a side drawer. It was one of the poisons they had taken from their last raid on Antonio’s house.
“And I don’t think I need to tell you what this beauty does to you demons”, Brian smiled.
He was glad to see the look of fear on their faces as they scampered back, trying to put some distance between themselves and their archenemy.
“What do you want to know”, the pilot sighed.
“Good. Very good, now you’re talking. I want to know everything there is to know about this attack”, Brian said.
“The details are still sketchy to me but I’m convinced that the attack will take place soon and in this city”, the pilot said.
“Asides Antonio and Wilfred, who else is in on it?”, Brian asked.
“Professor Handel and his wife, your mate’s parents”, he said.
“They are not her parents in case you didn’t know”, Brian seethed.
“I knew all along, I’m not surprised”, the other attacker said.
“What do you mean?”, Jack said.
“The news is everywhere and that’s one of the things Wilfred is going to use against you”, the pilot said.
Brian was expecting this and he was ready to take them down one after the other.
