It was clear that without David’s help, it would be impossible to get rid of Allen and so this was the best idea he could come up with.The people who were still in the cafè put their hands over their heads even without warning “Sir, her.. shift.. Ju.. just ended, I.. think she left” the man standing at the counter answered, his voice was shaky as he stuttered “What if I say, I don’t believe you?” The man asked, his face scarred.“Boys, check the door over there,” he said pointing his gun in the direction of the door leading to the kitchen “Yes boss” they answered as they quickly rushed in with their guns.Ellen put her hand over Sally’s mouth as she shook her head in horror as they both stood on the toilet in the ladies’ washroom.Trying to maintain their balance, they had to be stealthy and then, they heard someone walk into the washroom door, a tear trickled down Sally’s face, her eyes watching Ellen in horror ‘Calm down’ Ellen mouthed.The person who walked through the door quickl
Allen looked at his side mirror and recognized the face almost immediately “Ohh I’m taking Kevar’s appearance, so how does this shape shifting work?” He muttered as he put the car to stop, close to a diner.‘You think of the face or even physical appearance of whoever you wish to look like and then it automatically becomes yours’ Ultimate spoke from within. “That’s a nice feature” Allen said coming out of the car “That’s just what I needed” he said as he took out his phone, looking at the time, it said 2:15pm “Might just grab lunch while I’m here” he said smiling.He walked into the diner and noticed that all eyes were on him, a middle aged woman approached him almost immediately “What would you like to have sir?” She asked softly, her eyes scanning his face as though she was lost in it. “I’ll have uhh.. burger and fries” Allen answered. “Do you want it now or to go?” She asked “I’ll have some now and put three to go” he answered. “Anything else, sir?” The woman asked again as though
David could hardly believe his eyes, this man held his fist almost immediately, pulling away from him as swiftly “Suprised?” The man asked rhetorically “Don’t be” he said walking towards David as he talked “Ellen, you need to get out of here, now” David said to her “What..what’s happening? Who are these people?” She asked him breathing heavily with tears in her eyes.“I doubt you know your cousin, as much as we know him,” the man said, approaching David “She is not to be involved, he’s looking for me and not her,” David said loudly to the man’s hearing “Well, my orders were straightforward, I am to bring the girl, whether you like it or not” he answered, a smirk forming over his lips.“Please.. we don’t need to cause more commotions here” David pleaded “Like I said before, we’ll take the girl and you’ll follow quietly behind, is that too hard to do” the man answered, his hands clasped together as though he was pleading as well.“Ellen, it’s gonna be fine, okay, let’s go, you’ll follow
Allen came to a halt, “Really, so he’s resulted to using the same cheap tricks he used on me to lure David” Allen said over the phone “Yeah, apparently, he’ll keep his cousin hostage until he does his bidding” Phily answered.“He must be feeling helpless, but the truth is, he kinda deserves it, working with a crooked man,” Allen said “Yeah, but his cousin’s innocent, I heard they raided the cafè where she worked and killed some innocent people there,” Philly said “That’s how he is” Allen replied.“What if I tell you that we can use this opportunity,” Philly said over the phone, his voice sounding ecstatic “How do you mean?” Allen asked. “What if we make a deal with David?, it seems as though he refuses to be his hunting dog” Phily suggested.“I’m listening” Allen responded “What if we help him free his cousin and send her to a safe place and ask for his help?” Phily said, “What makes you think he’ll be willing to help?” Allen asked “He knows all too well that she will die in his hands
He had thought long and hard, remembering his response to Lincoln “Why are you doing this?” David asked, his voice a bit throaty “You’re one of the few people who can defeat Allen Scott, just this one time David” Lincoln said in a patronizing voice.“Oh and if you think you have a choice, remember little Ellen” Lincoln added, a smile formed on his lips as he sat down on the side cushion “Don’t you touch her, I’ll do what you ask” he answered “There we go, now we’re on the same page, I need you to start tomorrow, partner,” Lincoln said as he walked through the doorway to another part of the house.Now, his eyes were wide open in the middle of the night “How am I supposed to sleep? Ellen’s in their custody, and until Allen’s dead, I can’t do a thing” he said to himself running his fingers vigorously through his hair. He stood up from the bed, turning the lights on which were on the side table close to the bed, he walked downstairs in an attempt to get some water.He quickly went downsta
“Are you moving?” Mrs Hugoi asked in a frail voice “Yeah, I am, someone broke into the bunker, it’s just common sense that I change my environment” Allen answered “You can always come to see me there, honestly, it’s not so far from here” he added smiling a bit.“Thank you so much Mrs Hugoi, you have been of great help to me,” he said as a voice called out in the distance “Arnold Norton?” The man asked, walking towards Allen “Yes, I’m Arnold” he answered “Then sign here, so you’ll be with us for the moving of things right?” The man asked, taking his cap and putting it over his head. “Yeah,” he answered before the man left for the blue truck with a load of things.“Arnold?” Mrs. Hugoi asked surprised “Yeah, that’s my new name, you know, a lot of people are looking for me” he whispered smiling “It’s a nice name” she replied chuckling a bit “Yeah it is, like I said, you and Casandra are free anytime” he said calmly as he walked into the passenger seat of the truck as they drove off.“What
David was already present at the mansion, giving commands as to his mission of finding Allen “I need stats as to where he was seen last and maybe footage” he said to one man as the place looked chaotic, everyone was trying their best to follow his commands duly.“Hmm, I can see that you’re already at work McKinney,” Lincoln said emerging from the pathway leading to the exquisite rooms, “You’re quite serious about this now, aren’t you?” He asked putting his hands behind his back.David turned around to look at him, his eyes showing nothing but wrath “I’m only doing this because of the leverage you have over me” David said “Whatever reason you’re doing it for, what matters is that Allen Scott will be out of sight and out of mind” Lincoln answered with a smile on his lips as he patted his back softly.“If this works out perfectly in three days, you’ll get to see your dear Ellen” Lincoln said before finally walking off. David had a disgruntled expression, his eyes watching Lincoln closely
Allen heard all they had spoken about, “Keito Hima, one of the bottom feeders of the seven, the one who is greedy for much power” he said smiling “Why don’t I do you a favor? Lincoln and eliminate him first” he said to himself smiling as he stood in the room watching them both.Allen drew out his dagger immediately Lincoln had the chance of leaving the room “You were wrong about one thing Keito, I’ll make sure all of you die by my hands” he said as he made himself visible once more.The man’s eyes opened in shock “Who..who.. are you? What do you want?” He asked, his eyes in horror as he saw the dagger in his hands “You don’t even know the man you want to communicate with” Allen answered smiling.“All..Allen Sc..ott” the man said, his knees going down begging as he rubbed his hands together “You should’ve yelled for help first,” Allen said as he moved closer, Keito screamed, his voice showing peril and danger alerting the men who had gone after Lincoln.“See you on the other side,” All
