Leo stood there, his heart racing as he absorbed Derek's words. At first, he didn't believe his ears that he heard it right."Kill them all...!" he clamored, "It's not a game, Derek...!" He stumbled upon his steps as he paced inside his room, that soul floating around him. "You have to help me, Leo" Derek had been insisting on what he said.The weight of the situation bore down on Leo like a heavy storm cloud. The room seemed to close in around him, the air growing thick with tension he stopped his stumbled walk while staring at Derek."Derek, listen to me," Leo's voice quivered slightly, a mixture of empathy and desperation. He could feel the anguish that Derek had endured, the desire for revenge burning like wildfire within him. But Leo knew deep down that resorting to violence and killing wasn't the answer to all this.Moreover, he couldn't do this...!As he looked into Derek's tortured eyes, Leo's mind raced, searching for the right words to reach the troubled soul. "I underst
"How do you...I mean..." Leo stuttered, fetching for words, it was unbelievable. Though it is easy to doubt as he was unbelievably fast to travel, the twisting question was how could she know about his jumping down to the lower floors? That wasn't revealed in the media, then how?Jessica chuckled loudly, "I can't believe I bewildered the superhero, that literally means that I got that right," Leo was stunned for a while, thinking about what she was trying to imply, was she just joking with him?Did he give her a hint with his tense?"What do you mean?" he slowly asked, "I just hacked the devices that belong to those channels and found a video in their sources. They might not have understood but I guessed from your dress that it was you, and now it was confirmed from your tensed and shocked self that the man jumping like a Spiderman was indeed you," she said gleefully. Though a little unusual, she has confirmed that it was true.But instead of bothering about getting caught, Leo's m
"I want to kill that bastard...!" she sniffed in anger, the cool attitude of that girl suddenly changed into a burning pit. Her eyes turned red with tears rolling up in them."I will suck his soul out of his guts, pluck his eyes out of their sockets and drain his blood letting him die slowly...! The most miserable death ever,"Leo was taken aback by Jessica's sudden outburst, he gulped down the lump that had formed in his throat. His mind swirled around with many new doubts that had clouded his head.Was that the same sexy girl he just saw and felt attracted to?He couldn't believe his eyes as he saw that formidable aura around her."A...ah...!" there weren't any words coming out of his mouth for the moment.Her anger was palpable, and her words hit him like a bolt out of the blue. He had not expected such intense emotions from her. "Just tell me if you know where I can find him...I will...!" she added, clenching her fingers on Leo's shoulders while shaking him in anger. He grabbed
As they followed the trail of evidence, they found themselves facing dangerous situations, testing their skills and their trust in each other. But suddenly something happened and Jessica screamed standing up, "Oh no, Shit...!"She was so scared that the laptop from her lap tumbled on the ground when she jolted. Her hands settled on her mouth unknowingly while her jaw might have dropped in shock."What happened Jessica? Is everything fine with you?" Leo asked concerned, his hand resting on her shoulder. Jessica took a deep breath before answering him in a stuttered tone,"Th...They...they traced me down...!" she was terrified that her whole self was trembling. Leo couldn't comprehend the matter with her but all he knew was to comfort her for now. He instantly embraced her in his arms, rolling his hand on her head."Don't fear, I won't let anyone harm you, everything will be fine" For her terrified self, Leo was like the strength she needed the most at that moment, she forgot everyt
"Boss, I caught her" a goon came in, informing Maxwell."No....!" "Bull...Shit...!" Leo muttered as the situation dabbled up on him. His whole frame froze and he swallowed hard.It was fine for him to get caught and he could easily get out of there with his supernatural powers but what about Jessica, just the thought sent chills down his spine. They couldn't get in touch as Leo's phone was taken away by them as their safety measures and he couldn't use any hidden device either as without checking for it Maxwell would not have allowed him in.Before his terror consumed him, Leo closed his eyes and flung open them again enlightening his ability to read minds while his ears were busy listening to the girl gasping in fear behind him.[That bitch, how dare she run away from us, though she had paid off her bills, she had a nice body that could be used. How could I let a treasure go?]The girl was not Jessica but still Leo gritted his teeth in anger. "Bastard...!" he mumbled under his brea
Leo's heart pounded in his chest as the phone went silent. He was frozen at the spot. Many things swirled inside Leo's mind at the very moment. Looking around desperately he started searching for any window or any hole in the wall so that he could lung out of that to escape from there but to his disappointment, there wasn't even a keyhole around.He fixed his mind that it was all over already, even if the police arrived in time, he would no longer be able to explain anything to them.(Hey Leo you, are here...! I have been searching for you...) A familiar voice reverberated Leo's ears and he turned back immediately to see the owner."Derek...!" Maxwell's grip on the phone tightened, and his face contorted with frustration. "You...!" he hissed and Leo's heart almost jumped out of his ribcage."Aa....ah" Ignoring the soul hovering behind him, Leo tried to cover the situation by explaining himself, at least he could try giving any reason to delay Maxwell. But he was suddenly interrupt
Being panicked for a second, Leo instantly got a solution for his problem that may help him better.Maxwell's henchmen began to scatter as the sound of sirens drew closer, but Leo had already made his way towards the window where Jessica was hiding all this time. That aloof corner was well hidden anyone could hardly doubt that someone was peeping from there.Minutes later, the warehouse was surrounded by flashing lights and the sound of sirens. Police officers stormed the building, apprehending Maxwell and his henchmen, who were now thoroughly outnumbered and cornered. At first, Maxwell panicked but he then started playing cool."Hey cops, I think you got it wrong...!" Maxwell tried to reason with the police officer because he was sure that there were no drugs in the warehouse, the only huge packet that he asked for was taken away by Mr. Andrew. He was quite sure that he could slip away this time as well, but one of the cops came running to inform something. That cop found a packet
Jessica had been observing Leo, his every action his every move was like a different mystery ready to uncover before her.Confusion washed over her. She had thought Leo was heading to his home, even if he didn't want to go home at least with his status he would go to a famous restaurant to have his breakfast or coffee. Why struggling at a small cafe, that was not yet opened?His choice was baffling. She needed to find out what was going on, so she continued to watch from the shadows and moved further to get a clear view.Standing outside the cafe, Leo glanced at his phone screen and tapped his fingers impatiently on his thumb while reading a message or notification. He seemed restless as if he was searching for something specific. Jessica strained her ears, trying to catch any snippets near him. She couldn't make out the details, but it was clear that Leo was struggling to find something in his pocket. Though she knew she was invading his privacy she couldn't shake off the feeling t
