Chapter 26

Lycan gritts his teeth in excruciating pain as heavy punch lands across his body and face,he groaned and winced in excruciating pain. A man grabbed his chin and raised up his face.

 "Better start talking if you want to live"

He laughed sarcastically "are you tired bastard?"gathering the spit mixed with blood in his mouth he spat on the man.

 "Shit!!"he swore sending a punch to his face.

The door opened and another guard walked in,looked at the already half death figure sitting limply on the chair.

 "The boss wants all of you"he announced and walked out without sparing him another look.

After they exited the room, Lycan turned his aching head and tried to open his already swollen eyes trying hard with super human effort to lift the lid. He had hoped against all hope that his men will come for him but it seems his hope was dashed mercilessly against the wall. With his numbed body and bleeding heart,he vowed revenge on every living soul that had a hand in his misery.

The door creaked open and dimly he could make out the rather talk figure of a man making his way into the room,he stood staring at him for some time before suddenly getting to work of loosening the ropes round his body.

 "What are you doing?" Lycan mumbled barely audibly.

 "Setting you free of course"the man replied while his hands worked briskly with his husky breathing resounding with Lycans.

 "Who are you".

 "Take me as your guardian angel"he chuckled.

The ropes finally fell to the ground in a bunch as Lycan struggled to pick his limp body from the chair.

 "Atleast tell me why you are doing these".

 "For Maria,even though I hate you because it's your fault that she died but I have to do these for her"

Lycan narrowed his already bad eyes "who killed Maria".

 "That's non of your business"the already angered man said between his teeth as the muscles on his jaw rose,he gave Lycan his hand which he took,drew to himself and put his elbow on the man's neck strangling him.

 "Tell me who killed Maria or lose your life".

The man chuckled "take my life anyways,it doesn't matter because she loved you more and never cared for me anyways".

Lycan stopped strangling him "that does not mean anything". He released him and pushed him away.

 "Do you know how hard it is when you love a woman and she ends up loving another person?,when you look into her eyes all what you see is the love and longing for another man?,do you know how my heart hurts so badly that i feel I cannot live any longer?". He chuckled angrily. "I guess you don't know how it feels like because you don't have any feelings anyhow…"he paused and listened to the shuffling feet's coming towards them.

 "They are here,I will just walk you to were I think you can make it out by yourself".

He moved closer to him and putting his hand under his arm he began to lead him to the entrance, Lycan quietly took the arm and leaped alongside him.

Fresh dust rose in to his nostrils and his hand on the wall came in touch with the fine particles of the substance,they went down a steepy fleet of stairs which was dimly lit. He strained his eyes so hard that they hurt just to get them used to the dark while he limped besides the man.

They had gone ahead but could hear the stamping of feet's and the little uproar which was taking place back up,they increased their pace quickly trying to leave a good distance behind before the men began the chase.

Alex stood with his back to the door,pipe in mouth and one hand stuck in his pocket. The door flung open and an agitated guard stood before him shivering slightly which the fine lines of sweat trickled across his face.

 "There is a problem sir"he began his voice quivering slightly.

 "What is it?".

 "Uhmmm…"he cleared his throat "somebody has released the hostage".

Alex flung round with such agility that made the man shiver a little and shifting on one foot.

 "Did you find him"the anger was evident in his voice.

 "They went away".

 "Arrrgh"he screamed throwing the pipe at the man who escaped just a bit quicker. "Go after him and make sure you bring him here to me"he yelled.

 "Okay boss"the already frightened guard said exiting the room quickly.

Sarah sat on the swiveling chair looking at the poster on the wall in agents Ross office,she stared at the images but her mind was not there. These few days after coming back she had wished everything would go back the same in her life but alot had changed. Instead of being addicted to the substance it seems she was suddenly addicted to the people which of course was not a good sign.

She sighed deeply and proceeded to twirl the pen she held in her hands between her fingers,she found herself thinking about the base and how it was over there and most importantly though she hated to admit it she still thought of Lycan as thousands of questions popped through her mind.

Was he death?,did they find him?,did he know the truth about her?,did he still love her?,or did he even love her at all?. She shook her head like trying to yank off the very thought from her mind.

She turned round the picture frame on Agent Ross table and came to face with the smiling image of a young promising boy whose life had been cut off by a negligent parent.

 "That's my son".the familiar voice said behind her.

She smiled "he looks so sweet".

 "Yeah,and he was until that unfortunate incident "agent Ross sat behind the desk and stared thoughtfully at the image. Before shaking her head "so I spoke with the director,he thinks your documents will be ready in about a weeks time".

 "That's nice,so we're will I be going?"she asked sounding hopeful maybe at last she would be able to leave lots of these things behind.

 "I don't know" Ross replied shrugging her shoulder "you will definitely get to know that when you get your papers but these papers will only get to you on one condition".

Sarah narrowed her eyes "and what's that?".

 "You will have to give us that book which is in your possession".

 "No,no no no,I can't do that"she echoed chuckling nervously.

Ross had an expressionless face "am afraid you don't have any choice,you can't with hold any information that is vital to these course".

 "So I have to give it out?" Sarah sounded a bit surprised.

 "Am afraid so agent,I guess these conversation is closed unless you remit the book and as such your movement is therefore restricted. I will put a guard on you to watch your every move".

 "Is that even necessary?"the disbelief on her face was too evident to be ignored.

Sarah shrugged nonchalantly "don't blame me,it's for the agency and us"her eye unwillingly strayed to the picture on her desk.

Sarah scoffed sarcastically and stormed out of the office.
