Perseus pulled Sherry behind him as the men stepped down from their cars. The men were so many that Perseus couldn't count. It was then that he noticed it wasn't a car but a minivan, and one of the men that they had seen yesterday was there too.Emily's order, brother. Each of the men was holding a baseball bat and a metal rod. “Hand over the girl, and we will let you off.” The man said.[Nex, the first elder brother of Emily.]“What made you think that I would let her go just because you asked me to?” Perseus inquired. Nex grinned. “I'm giving you a chance to think, but you are ready to throw it all away by standing up.” His gaze met Sherry's, and she flinched. “For her?” “She is important,” Perseus responded. “How would you feel if I took away your sister, just to kill her?” “She is nothing to me to begin with,” Nex claimed. “So, let's stop beating around the bush. Why don't you hand her in and make things easy for us?”Perseus glanced back at Sherry, and she had this look in

“I'm fine, Sherry, and I wasn't born with it, Lexi.''[I have finished getting proof of Emily's crimes.][The file has been transferred to your phone.][You owe the system 34 full stats points and 4000 points.]“This is the file of the stain on Emily.” Perseus said as he transferred it to Lexi's phone. “I sent it to your phone.” Lexi gave him a long, suspicious stare. “How did you get it?” “I have my ways. I contacted someone, and they were able to get it for me.” “Who are you?” Lexi asked.“Let's not talk about this now.” Perseus grumbled. Lexi's gaze shifted to Sherry.“Are you free this weekend?” Sherry asked Lexi. “Yes, why?” “Can we hang out?” Sherry's eyes glittered. “Just the two of us.” Lexi glanced at Perseus, and he gave her a thumbs up. “Fine.” Sherry beamed. “I will tell you where we are headed when it is the weekend.” “Okay.” Lexi escorted the both of them to their cars and waved them goodbye. “Text me if you have anything else to say, Mr. Damon.” “Sure.” Perse

Perseus ran his hand through his hair without a number as he waited to hear an explanation from Lexi. She was still busy getting an explanation from the ladies. After she had handcuffed Sherry and the girls, She had left with them, and Perseus went after them, but he hadn't gotten to see Lexi. [Sherry is innocent.][Perhaps she helped them without realizing it.][They were still friends when it happened, I guess.]Perseus paced back and forth. Lexi had arrested them in public, and that was going to ruin Sherry's reputation. Just then, the interrogation room opened, and Lexi stepped out. Her eyes met Perseus. “Can we talk?” Perseus nodded.She led Perseus to her office, and when they got there, they sat down. “Sherry is innocent.” He blurted out.“She was only a suspect, but after interrogating them, We found out that she was innocent. I had no idea what Emily took; she couldn't lie at all. They were best friends back then, but she had no hand in what happened.”[Guess our truth p

Perseus shrugged, and Lexi took out her phone to dial the contact number of another officer. She gave her instructions to protect Ms. Tisha's dad. “I think it's done.” Lexi muttered. Perseus nodded. A few minutes later, they were pulling in front of a house. Lexi glanced back at Ms. Tisha; by this time, Tisha was already looking pale. “You shouldn't have come here with me.” Tisha muttered. “Aren’t they going to threaten you again?” Lexi asked. “I am only doing my job by helping you.” “They might kill me if they find you here with me. What about my father?” “There are a lot of agents around this place. You don't have to be scared; you are in safe hands.” Lexi reassured her. “Just be quiet and let's go.” “Don't you have a plan?” Perseus asked as he glanced back at Tisha. “What do you suggest?” Lexi asked Perseus. [A bait.] “A bait.” Perseus replied. “We could lure them out and get them. Going in might be dangerous, and you might not be able to handle it like I can.” “Ar

Perseus was still shielding Lexi. [Ding!][The second man has been caught. ⅔][Immediate healing ability has been granted.][Healing in process.]“Iris.”[Huh?]“Stop the healing.”[What? Are you a serious host? After throwing yourself to save someone, you decided to give up your life?!]“If you heal me, they are going to suspect me, and I don't want my body to be used as a laboratory experiment.” [I never thought of that.][Healing ability has been deactivated.][Pain reduction has been activated.]The pain Perseus was feeling was reduced to the extent that he felt nothing again.“Perseus! Are you alright?!” Lexi's voice brought him back into a trance.Perseus glanced at her. He was lying on his back now, with her looming over him. Luke was there too, and he had a concerned look on his face. “Are you going to ask him that or take him to the hospital?” Luke questioned. “I'm fine. It's only a bullet; we still need to get the third guy.” Perseus said as he sat up. “How many times wa
