Denzel stood, taking a look at Owl who had his face bowed down in embarrassment, that he lost to Denzel after all he had planned, the stench of the intensely burnt up dead bodies choking Denzel's overly sensitive nose.
"You do know that I could kill you right now and feel no remorse?"
"Then just do that, not like you can escape death anyways," Owl said, still bowing his head.
"I would have loved to do that, but, I'm not going to kill a single soul before I kill Leia, I just have a question for you," Denzel dipped both hands into the pocket of his trousers, "Why do you help Leia? You do know that she is just using you right?"
"Yeah, I know that... But actually, this was my plan, not Leia's"
Denzel looked at him in confusion, he was trying to comprehend if he understood what he said. "What do you mean?"
"It isn't that hard to understand, Leia didn't know that I was planning on killing you,"
"Wow... I actually considered you as someone worth my trust, I even saved your life once, but what? Even when I found out that you were the serial killer that assassinated people using my initials to frame me for murder... So what reason do you have for that?"
"Since it is the end for me anyway, it won't hurt to tell you... It is a long story," Owl raised his face to take a look at Denzel.
"Go on," Denzel stood, not withdrawing his focus from Owl.
"I am Devon Jane... My dad is Lucas Jane... I think you should at least know who that is,"
"Who the hell is that?" Denzel shuddered.
"Huh? My dad is the person that was in charge of investigating those serial killings I executed," Owl looked at Denzel, he shuddered in return.
"Hmm, I think I've heard that name from Ted," Denzel paused for a moment, "Wow, it's funny that a man was investigating his own son's murder," Denzel chuckled, taking one of his hands from his pocket, used it to dab his nose, and then dipped it back into his pockets, "Go on,"
Devon began to look frustrated at the fact that he wasn't allowed to talk. Devon was less of a talker, but when he started, ending it was a very tough thing for him.
"Please would you not interrupt me?"
"I apologise,"
"Cool... When I got to Intermediate school, things were tough, I was always bullied, and believe me, it isn't like the normal bullying that you are thinking about. Dad was always busy with work as new cases came in almost every day so he never really had time for me, and because of that, I couldn't say a thing to him, and it was the same with my mom, always going on business trips, even right now, I am sure they don't know where I am.
One day, I was basically turned into a football, being kicked left and right, all because I was unable to run an impossible errand that they sent me. That day, I got home with a nose bleed, torn shirt and even some other bad conditions but, my dad only said that I probably got into a fight with a gang.
It got to an extent that I could take it no more, and... and I stood up to one of them, stabbing them with my pen. At first, I got mad beaten, and after my dad saw me looking like a torn-up punching bag, he reported to the school, and they punished those bullies.
Of course, you can't avoid some set of things, so a new set of bullies arose, and the former bullies became the bullied and that didn't mean that I wasn't bullied.
That cycle continued, the bullies getting punished and then becoming the bullied, and all those times, I was always part of the bullied.
It kept moving that way until a new regime started in the school and they didn't even care anymore about bullies, at that time, a new set of bullies were formed and believe me, you wouldn't want to be bullied all your life.
I got up to their leader, begging on my knees, saying that they should allow me into their gang, and the leader listened to my plea, he told me that I would join, but I had no right to disrespect anyone higher than me in that group, which was almost like the most impossible thing as they were all annoying."
"Chill, chill... Like how many were you in your school for bullies to keep rising like that?"
"In my set, we are talking about 500 and above, I mean... I went to Gallard... So, you know what I am talking about,"
"Wow... you must be really rich to have gone there, I can't afford it to be real... Sorry for interrupting you though,"
"Well, my first work was to harass a girl in my set, a girl who was always bullied with me, it was a very tough job since I liked the girl so much, we were always bullied together, so it was so unfair, but at the end, I raped her, I don't even know if she enjoyed it, or not and it felt kind of good since I wasn't bullied anymore. I desired that feeling, and I never wanted it to end."
"Wow... Cool story, but how is that related to what I asked?" Denzel shuddered, moving closer to Devon.
"I am not done," Devon looked up at Owl, frowning his face.
"Ohh, sorry,"
"So... When I turned 15, I met Leia, and she trained me in a lot of ways, making me as strong as I am today. According to some unknown source, she hated when people couldn't do things completely and when they couldn't do it without getting nabbed, so, when I completed lots of missions successful for her, she began to praise me and then she told me about herself, saying that she was the mayor's daughter and all... Seeing all that connection, helping her and getting protection together was assured so, I began to pretend to her, saying I loved her, for years so that she would believe I could never sly her.
When I found out that she was getting obsessed with you, I felt like she didn't care about my love anymore and that I was becoming useless and that, you know, I might return to something I hated. I felt like I needed to do something, either I betrayed her or I betrayed you, and at first, I chose to use you to help me get rid of her, and that didn't work out since some unknown person told her that I told you that she was looking for someone to help her kill some people. Do you discuss with Leia privately?"
"I don't even have her contact, why would I even want to snitch on you? If it isn't me that told her, who would have...? Wait a minute, Ted! He was the only one I told that to!"
"Then that Ted guy is a big snitch, and when Leia found out I told you that, she warned me that I should never do it if I loved my life. So... it left me with one more option, killing you so that she could focus on only me,"
"But wait... If you have been that close with Leia for years, why don't you know if she had been talking with Ted?"
"See... I don't care about anything relating to Leia, all I needed was protection and she told me no secrets about her,"
"One more question, just out of curiosity, how did you get to gather up those people fighting death matches underground?"
"Them? Leia got all of them, I was only put in charge of watching over them, that's all,"
"What is going to be their fate if I kill you?"
"Leia would come up with a new leader for them,"
Denzel sat down on the ground thinking to himself.
"I don't know what to do with you, you seem to know nothing much about her,"
"Yeah I really don't know much about her," Denzel began to hear sounds of sirens from far away, "Is there some robbery going on somewhere or is it just ambulances, Why do I hear so many Sirens?"
"Hmph!"
Denzel began to look around before taking a glance at Devon. He noticed the little smirk that showed up by the side of his lips.
"Are you smiling?" Denzel asked.
"It might be too late for you, I suspected that this might happen, so, I called the cops, telling them I have M.D, and you know, they can do anything to catch you right now, so, any moment from now, you might be arrested,"
"What did hell did you say?"
"You heard me, and if they see these dead bodies, you know the conclusion they would come to, so at the end, we both would lose this battle,"
"Why are you going to lose? It's me they are here for,"
"If they arrest you, do you think I won't be questioned?"
"So?"
"So? If they question me, Leia is surely going to find out, Leia is smarter than you think, she would know that I was the one that called them in since we were the only ones that knew about this mission," Devon felt relaxed, to him, it was better if they both lost.
"You know what?" Denzel moved closer to Devon, "You get the hell out of here and live your life, I would get out of this mess,"
"Why? You just wanna release me? It would still be the same, Leia would know I did it,"
"Think about this, if you are released right now, You could lie to Leia that someone else reported this, like, there is no CCTV around here, so she can't know, but if you get arrested, you would be questioned about our fight, which won't have to happen if you run now,"
"It's pointless, she would still hate me for not helping you,"
"No, that would be for a while, and things would get back to normal. Also, hearing your story, I feel like you don't deserve to go through all this, just leave here, and I would take care of the cops." Denzel had already loosed the rope that he used to tie Devon when he said that. "Now, get the hell out of here,"
Devon stretched his body, "You don't even know if I lied about that story, you just decide to set me free, well, thanks, but it would be better for both of us to leave together,"
"No, then they would go after both of us, just leave, it's the best choice for you, I would really love to get Leia, but seems like it might be the end for me, if you don't escape now, we would both lose, because Leia would abandon you, and I wouldn't get her,"
The sounds of the sirens were getting louder, and Denzel knew he also had to run away.
"I could have left you here, because that way, you would have had to take the blame for their death, but, you don't deserve it, so, you get out first, I would make them chase me,"
"But what if you are caught?" Devon asked, the look on his face looked like he didn't care at all.
Denzel walked closer to him, whispering something to him, and Devon opened his eyes, looking shocked.
In a minute, Devon ran away from there, getting out his wings, and then flying away. And that was when the police cars were beginning to enter that building.
Denzel wanted to get away when he heard the sound of choppers, their fan blaring so loudly.
"Damn it, I have to fly away from here," Denzel said, quickly switching with Mical, flying away as fast he could.
But Denzel didn't know something, at first, the cops that drove in cars could already see him, and secondly, he wasn't just wanted by the cops, both the special mission Cops and the military were sent to get him, He was a nationwide Criminal.
He looked at the sky and noticed that about ten helicopters were coming towards that direction, no matter where he flew to, they would notice him.
"Would it better to run? Mical switch with me,"
"No, it would be better to fly, if I keep flying, they won't know you are the one, since they don't know you are a Beast," Mical said, replying to Denzel.
"Ohh, that's true,"
Mical had already flown a little distance when the Police vehicles stopped at where the scorched bodies were.
"Wow, I told you guys M.D was alive..."Agent Mateo Mason walked towards the bodies, covering his nose with a handkerchief, "Seems like he is back. Check if you would see any signs of his initials on any of their bodies, also, call the ambulance to take them away." Mateo Mason said, he bent down to take a look at what he saw on the ground as he focused his torch on the ground, "Thank the Heavens that we got here first, we should be able to get hi...- What?!" Agent Mateo Mason stopped talking and yelled when he noticed the feathers that lingered on the ground.
"Wait, someone reported M.D right, and there are dead bodies here, so, what's with these feathers," Some of his team members that followed him gathered around him.
"Ask those choppers if they notice any bird flying around." One of the team members turned on his walkie-talkie, asking the cops in the choppers about a bird.
-"A bird... Looks like a golden Eagle is flying our way right now, Copy."-
Mateo Mason could hear from the Walkie-talkie, and he scowled his face at that moment.
"I can see why we have not been able to capture him, we have been chasing a Beast, and now the case is even tougher."
The other cars had begun to pull up beside theirs.
