Uncle Gary suddenly lost control and said
" And is asking for your freedom too much. Oh damn Ruby, why do you think I'm so interested in this case. It is all because of you. "
" huh "
Gary continued in a defeated tone
" That day, when you were taking awayby her I came there. But I arrived late. I thought I'd finally found you but I got there and only saw two lifeless body on the ground. I was terrified thinking of the worst that could have happened to you, I searched around the vicinity frantically for you but I didn't find you. When I had almost lost hope, a crippled man in wheelchair came to me and said he knew where you were. He said he saw whatever that had happened. From the thugs trying to kill you and the woman who saved you. He said that area was mainly for those people and he didn't want to risk his life by trying to save someone he barely knew. Then when I asked again where you are, he said he didn't know but knew the person who took you. "
Then Gary looked at her in the eyes and continued
" The identity of the woman and her connection with the blue moon organization led me here. I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried and it made me focused more on the dealings of the organization. That was when the whispers started, a young female assassin is in town. Trisha, the disfigured assassin. The day I heard of you, I almost knew instantly that you are my Ruby. I focused my investigation more on you guys trying to find you and at least do something to correct if not anything, some of my mistakes and make it up to you. "
Ruby was dumbfounded. But she quickly regained her composure and played the emotional card
" Then this is how I want you to make it up to me uncle. What were you thinking, once the my new family gets caught, I'm the next, I wouldn't be left off the hook, no matter what you try to do, I am now an assassin and nothing can change that. The only thing you can do to help everyone is to stop this. They would kill you if you dig further. Just promise me you wouldn't do it "
Uncle Gary didn't know what to say anymore. He tried to reason with her
" But child, I don't want you..... "
Before he could finish, tears streamed down Ruby's face as she interrupted him
" I have blood on my hands and no amount of water can erase it. Uncle please, stop it. I want you alive. "
Gary was suddenly scared. He hated to see Ruby's tears. He quickly went to hug her and consoled her saying
" Is ok, don't cry anymore. I won't pursue it, I promise "
Ruby smiled happily and hugged him back. But she failed to catch the darkness in Gary's eyes. There was no way, he was going to allow Ruby to live that life, he had to speed up. Ruby deserves much better.
....
" Alright, Alright let's begin this. "
Lucas said in his playfull and mischievous voice. But then all of a sudden, his expression hardened as he asked
" Who sent you "
In front of him was a dishevelled man covered in bruises and blood. Both of his hands were tied upward to a rope connected to the ceiling. His head weakly hanged down but he still refused to talk. Lucas sighed and said
" Ok since you are refusing to talk let me guess, someone from the blue moon organization. Trisha to be precise "
The man's eyes widened in surprise. He was quick enough to conceal his expression but his expression didn't excape Lucas's eyes. Lucas nodded and said as if he already knew
" Mmh ok so it is really her. It wasn't hard to guess though. She figured it out quickly than I expected and she has already begun her plan "
The man suddenly laughed and said
" No matter what you do Don, the combination is ours. The power belongs to the blue moon organization. "
Lucas smiled wickedly and said
" Mmh since you so much like to laugh then let me help with that. Consider it my generosity "
The man's face turned pale. He knew that facial expression so well and what came out of it was extremely bad.
Lucas went out of the room and returned with a respirator on. Then the man begun to sense an unfamiliar scent in the air. Before he could think, he suddenly started giggling without thinking. Through the mask he heard Lucas's voice
" I call it 'laugh to death' "
" I hope you are enjoying the gift "
The man's face now looked like it was drained of blood. He tried to talk but the gas was making it difficult expecially now that he had inhaled so much. All he was doing was laughing like a lunatic. The more he inhaled the more he laughed harder. He couldn't stop inhaling the gas nor could he stop laughing. He felt his heart was lacking oxygen but he couldn't take a breath. Tears cascaded from his eyes and he felt suffocated. He wanted to at least clutch his chest but his hands were tied.
Just imagine the day you heard something so funny that you laughed hard. But you had to stop because you felt you needed oxygen. That exactly was his feeling but unlike you, he couldn't stop laughing. Soon blood oozed from his ears and nose. Then slowly he took his last precious breath. Lucas sighed and said
" At least you died happily "
Then he got out, removed the respirator a
5nd turned to go. But then a surbodinate of his cam
e to him and said professionally
" Sir the police officer Gary Gibbler is still digging "
Lucas turned to him and looked at him like a fool.
" Why the hell are you telling me this. Just finish him off he had had enough chances. Don't bother me with such news again I have a wife to persue "
With that said, he turned to go.
