Killing Grimm; Graveyard of Gods

Chapter 9, Olympus.

TECHON LABs Headquarters.

Today, the news outlet had a filed day at Techon, the police cars could number hundreds and the special investigation team scouted the scene of the crime with keen interest.

“How does the bitch keep vanishing from our security cameras”. Mr George Brown interrogated the police woman handling the case.

“It’s because someone keeps hacking into them and replacing the image of the time she passes by with the previous time a footage was taken”.

Mr George Brown hissed.

“In that case, fix it and figure out who the bitch is”.

“It’s not that easy Mr Brown, If something like this can be fixed by using another genius then I assure you that woman would’ve been behind bars eons ago”.

“Fuuuuck, my head is on the line here, we’ve got to find her somehow”.

The woman looked around her as if worried they were being spied on before continuing.

“That lady is wanted by seventeen governments, eighteen syndicates and over twenty-four criminal organizations and mafia groups around the world, she’s got a lot of enemies Mr Brown. And there’s a reason why she’s not dead yet”.

“And why is that?”. Mr Brown asked expectantly.

“She’s ghost”.

There was a short moment of silence before George finally snapped.

“WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN”.

“Shhhhhhhhh”.

Mr Brown slanted he’s brows even more, at this point the only thing keeping him from wrestling the gun of this dumbass officer and shooting the place up was the last thread of sanity instilled into him by the CEO.

“I saw her Hazel, she looked and felt like a living human”.

The auburn haired officer named Hazel gazed straight into Mr Browns eyes and replied coldly.

“Ghost is the name her victims gave to her, in actuality she doesn’t exist, ‘wait let me finish, don’t give me that look’, Ghost has no records of any kind in any country or data base in existence, no relatives, no past nor present, she’s like a ghost, but you see Mr Brown, the thing about ghost is that they are called that because they used to be someone, so all we have to do now is figure out who she was”.

Mr Brown smiled derisively at himself.

How the hell is he supposed to find somebody that can erase their existence to the point of being considered a ghost of all things.

“Where do we start?”.

“She stole Blessed Gems, so we simply find Blessed individuals hungry for wealth and fame, just like her”.

Mr George Brown leaned in closer as if afraid he won’t be able to hear what Hazel is about to say.

“And where is that Hazel?”. Mr George Brown asked.

“Olympus”.

...

Argh.

Cough!!!

“You alright kid?”.

Lisa locked the door behind her and held up Liam and assisted him to the bed.

Liam desperately sucked in oxygen while attempting to grab the air in front of him, with he’s hand, he only relaxed when he felt Lisa’s warmth.

“Ho-Who are you?”.

“It’s Aphrodite love”.

“Aphrodite, you’re a Goddess?”. Liam said skeptically.

“Yah, Yeah love, sure am”. At this point Lisa held the crimson Blessed gem in her hands and began to admire it’s malicious aura.

“Where are you going?, If you’re a Goddess, please take me with you”. Liam requested with the little bit of sanity left in him before he’s eyes closed completely.

Lisa gazed quietly at the sleeping Liam before indifferently walking towards the window with the blessed gem in hand.

“My blessed gem”. She whispered to herself.

But the instant she climbed over the window a dark crimson glow pulled her back forcefully.

“What the fuck”. Lisa expressed.

The blessed gem had a brilliant crimson glow surrounding it as it refuses to be abducted from Liam’s room.

“Come on, didn’t he fail, so now what are you throwing a fit for?”.

The blessed gem naturally didn’t responded to Lisa, but as if doing so a soft red glow lit up the gem like the sun rays of the late evening, and at the same time another glow was captured from the side of Lisa’s eyes, and it came from Liam’s right palm.

[“-“]

“I’m gonna regret this, ain’t I”.

...

Julie never finished her breakfast, in fact she got up and left the moment Mr O’Neil stepped out of the house, apparently something important happened at work so he’s got to personally look into it.

Julie casually walked across the fancy stairs and through the hallway leading to Liam’s room.

She didn’t walk for long, barely five minutes actually, so she eventually reached her brothers doors.

Julie silently stood at the front of it for almost a minute now without being able to knock.

She was too scared to, scared of losing another important person in her live due to the exact same reasons.

freedom, it’s sounds simple but only to those who never felt oppressed or controlled before, that little thing called freedom is to die for.

Julie eventually worked up the courage to knock, but there was no response, she knocked some more and even called out to Liam several times but there wasn’t any response.

At this point Julie was starting to get worried.

She opened the door to Liam’s room and was met with an unexpected scene as her eyes went wide and her mouth adorably forming an o shape.

...

“You kidnaped the TECHON kid, whoaaah, you’ve definitely got fame checked off your bucket list”. Jacky joked, while stuffing he’s face with a hamburger.

“What no, that wasn’t what happened”. Lisa defended but immediately went silent after once more facing the unconscious Liam sleeping peacefully on her bed.

“Fuck this man”. Lisa said before pulling out the crimson gem and raising Liam’s palm to show jacky what happened.

Liam’s right palm had a crimson tattoo on it, jacky found it difficult to discern what was drawn but it did look like a crimson sword, a broken one covered in cracks.

Jacky thought for a moment.

“It’s possible the blessed gem is fated to serve the kid but he was still rejected by it, it’s also possible he’s not ready yet or contradicting wills exist within him”.

“Oh I see, so teenage problems are the reason why he was repelled... Damn it jacky I need you to tell me something useful, how the hell do I get my blessed gem back?”.

“Alright alright, we can use two methods”.

“Which are?”. Lisa asked hastily.

“First, we can wait till he dies in Olympus, ‘OR’, we can chop the hand off and see whether the gem will be willing to choose another master”.
