Chapter 80
“Information just reaching me says that professor Handel and his wife would be staying at the same house they were the last time. I’ve already stationed some security men around the house, we’re just waiting for them to do something unusual”, Jack said.
Brian paced about in the living room of his mansion. Serah didn’t know anything that was going on and he wanted to keep it that way, informing her could be disastrous and that was something he desperately wanted to avoid.
“Okay, keep it under wraps. Make sure no one knows about this until we know the next line of action to take”, Brian said.
“I will boss”, Jack said before cutting the call.
“Keep what under wraps?”, Serah yawned.
She walked towards Brian still in her nightgown and Brian had never seen one human who looked so beautiful.
“Hi baby”, Brian smiled.
He drew her towards him, wrapping his hands around her waist. Her body was warm against his and he had a hard time keeping his hands off her. She was like a drug to him, one he constantly needed to survive.
“Hi, you woke up so early”, Serah said.
“Yes, I got a call from Jack about some… Stuffs”, Brian said.
“Stuffs like what?”, Serah asked.
She walked towards the kitchen in need of a cup of coffee as it was a tradition for her to drink one every morning.
“Just stuffs… It’s nothing really, I don’t want to bother you with the details”, Brian said.
Serah handed him a cup, smiling as he sniffed the pleasant scent that wafted through his nose. Serah knew he loved his coffee like this, pure black with a little bit of sugar.
“Are you sure, you can talk about it. I’m all ears?”, Serah said.
“No, it’s fine love. There’s really nothing to talk about”, Brian said.
“If you say so”.
“Has Andrew been troubling you lately?”, Brian asked.
He vowed to deal with him if he got one more report about his indiscretions towards his mate. He was tired of addressing the same issue almost every time but this time around, he vowed to put a stop to it.
“Oddly, no. I haven’t seen him for a very long time now”, Serah said.
“Okay, that’s better. Do me a favor love, the next time he troubles you, don’t hesitate to let me know”, Brian said.
Serah walked towards him, sitting on his lap. She placed her cup of coffee on the kitchen counter before wrapping her hands around him. She smiled at the obvious worry that clouded his face.
“Brian, you know damn well I can take care of myself. I really don’t need any protecting, I’m my own protector”, Serah said.
“Hello Miss protector”, Brian chuckled.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Don’t patronise me love, I’m stronger than you think”, Serah chuckled.
“I’m not going to doubt you on that, seeing how you drove like a pro the other day”, Brian said.
“That’s just one of the things I know how to do best. Wait till you see the others”, Serah smiled.
“I think I know what those other things are”, Brian said.
Just then, his phone gave a sharp beep indicating he had a call. Swiping the screen open, he discovered it was a message from Killian who needed his attention at the club.
“Oh dang, babe I’ve got to go. The guys need my attention at the club”, Brian said.
Serah nodded, climbing off him as she watched him shrug on his jacket that seemed to highlight his muscled arms.
“Okay. When you get back, there’s something I’ll like to tell you”, Serah said.
There was a look of confusion in Brian’s eyes as his didn’t know what to expect. He looked at her closely, trying to see whether there was something amiss but she gave nothing away as her face remained neutral.
“Is everything okay love?”, Brian asked.
“Yes, everything is fine. Just get back on time and I’ll tell you what it is”, Serah smiled.
Brian kissed her warmly before heading out of the mansion. As far as he was concerned, since she didn’t show any signs of distress, what she had to say wasn’t alarming.
He got to the club soon, shedding off his jacket as he walked into the room where his friends were working.
“What’s up guys?”, Brian said.
“Hey man. Another information, I just got it”, Jack said.
“Let’s here it”, Brian said.
He walked towards the liquor cabinet as he poured a glass of whiskey in a cup. He sipped slowly as Jack gave him the run down of everything that he heard.
“So, what you’re saying is Andrew and his pack are planning a massive attack on the city now that professor Handel is here”, Brian said.
“Exactly, that’s not all though. They’re making explosives and it’s not the regular one, my sources tell me that these explosives are created from Antonio’s poisons. In essence, once this fumes are spread throughout the city, it can cause irreparable harm to humans”, Killian said.
“Shit! This is bad. What are our chances? What can we do to stop them?”, Brian asked.
“As of now, the only thing we can do is to evacuate the people of this city”, Jack said.
“Evacuation? Damn, that’s not going to be possible”, Brian said.
“I know, considering the fact that there are millions of people living here. If we’re to do that, it would take days before we get everyone out”, Killian said.
“That’s where we need the help of the Governor. We can’t do this alone Brian, we need his help”, Jack said.
“Man, but you know we’re sworn enemies. I don’t think he’ll be ready to help us”, Brian said.
“For now, let’s keep all differences aside. We have to do this Brian, it’s the only way”, Jack said.
Brian sat down, placing his drink on the table in front of him. He thought long and hard about what his friends proposed and he knew that that was the only way possible if they were to defeat the demon pack.
“Okay, let’s go with it. Killian, set up a meeting with him tomorrow. The earlier we begin, the better for us”, Brian said.
“Got it boss”.
“Jack, make an inventory of all our arms. I might have to use some of my father’s earlier than expected”.
Jack nodded, leaving to do as he was instructed. Brian remained on his seat, taking slow sips of his drink as his mind prepared for the battle ahead.
