Chapter 38
By Shell97
"Mr. Yodama, I've found them," Shin said quietly into his celluar phone.
"Good. Where?"
Shin looked at the group of people below him. "In the alley behind the Spectra building."
"You know what to do."
"Ashley has picked up some friends..." Shin's voice trailed off as he caressed the trigger of his gun. "Do my orders still apply?"
Shin waited patiently while Mr. Yodama made his decision. "Darian won't take kindly to his friends being killed, how many are there?"
"Six, including Ashley, but his partner isn't in sight."
"Can you handle this or shall I send backup?"
Insulted that Mr. Yodama even asked, Shin replied quickly, "Definitely not, sir."
"Don't make the mistake of underestimating Ashley, Tetsuhara. I'm sending a team over." With those parting words the connection went dead.
Fuming at the insult to his ablilities Shin made his way down to street level. He would show that playboy just what he could handle.
Not one of the staff members in the ICU stopped or questioned the two men that walked confidently down the hall, finally coming to a stop in front of a solemm Dr. Correa.
"My name is Thomas Winter. We're here for the mage."
Dr. Correa looked up into icy gray eyes--so fitting to the man before him. "He's in there," he said pointing to the bed that the small siblings shared.
"But he's just a child!" the man next to Winter objected.
"And there are children here who will die if the power fails," Correa said defending his decision.
Winter stepped in before the argument heated up any further. "Thank you doctor. We'll take care of it from here."
Thankfully, Dr. Correa walked away quickly, eager to flee the scene.
Thomas turned back to his partner. "Orders are orders, O'Reilly. You remember that."
Nick nodded. "You don't need to remind me of my duty. Let's get this over with."
Brandishing a syringe, Thomas lead the way into the room.
