Chapter 70
“Baby, I’ll be traveling today”, Brian said.
It’s been three days since the coronation and three days since the attack and yet they were still not in talking terms. Brian didn’t know what to do anymore and he wished he did because staying without talking to her was slowly killing him.
“Where are you off to?”, she asked.
“Paris, on some business. It’ll be just for two days”, Brian said.
“Okay, have a safe flight”, Serah said.
“Are you still angry with me?”, Brian sighed.
“To be honest, I’m not. I’m just indifferent about the whole thing, I really do not hate you anymore Brian”, Serah said.
“Thank you, at least that’s a start”, Brian smiled.
He made to kiss her but she gave him her cheeks, preferring to be kissed there than her lips. Serah knew what would happen if she allowed him kiss her lips, her emotions would be all over the place and she didn’t really know if she wanted that.
“I’ll see you soon. Please stay safe baby”, Brian smiled.
“I will and you too”, Serah said.
Brian nodded before leaving the house. He made his way towards the garage where his cars were parked. Just before he left, he gave strict orders to his security men to guard the house more tightly and the only visitors to be allowed in should be his driver, Carlos who he trusted asides his friends.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Yes boss, we’ll do as you say”, the man said.
Brian drove away with a screech. He was to meet up with his friends at the club before they left for the airport where his jet was waiting to take them.
He got to the club soon. He left the engine running as he placed a call to them to inform them that he was outside.
“Hey man”, Killian said.
“Hi”
“Serah still upset?”, Jack asked.
The duo climbed into the car, putting on their seatbelts. Government hunters were all over the place and it wouldn’t do that good if they got arrested for something as simple as that.
“Not quite but she’s still not speaking to me”, Brian said.
“She’ll come around, I’m sure of it. She just needs a bit of time for herself to think this through”, Killian said.
“How you know so much about relationships never seize to amaze me”, Jack said.
Brian chuckled because he knew he was right. Killian was so versed in knowing about so many relationships that his knowledge about them was vast.
“Its high time you get a girl”, Brian chuckled.
“Can’t say I haven’t”, Killian mummured.
Brian stared at him through the rear view mirror, trying to decide if he was actually joking or not. But from the expression on his face, Killian was serious.
“You’ve found your mate?”, Jack asked.
“Well, not really. I don’t know if she’s my mate yet as we’re only still in tht talking stage. But I can’t lie man, I feel something for her”, Killian said.
“That’s progress. At least, it’s far better than when you were still single”, Brian chuckled.
They got to the airport soon as Brian put the car to a stop at the airport’s garage, handing the keys to a security agent who was used to him by now.
“I told Serah I’ll be away just for two days. I don’t want to stay more than that”, Brian sighed.
“Sure, we’re not going to be staying so long. And secondly, I don’t want you to disappoint her again”, Jack said.
They walked into the plane and once they were in, Brian knew they had a problem. He could feel the tension that surrounded the cabin in the plane. His wolf took over but he was still in his human form. His senses were heightened now that his wolf was in charge but try as they could, they couldn’t discover what the problem was.
“Something is definitely wrong”, Jack said.
“Yes. Where’s the pilot?”, Killian asked.
Just then, the pilot walked into the resting area where Brian and his friends sat. He wore an ear splitting grin that didn’t seem to sit well with Brian at all. Brian knew his pilot so well and the man never behaved this way.
Anything the problem?”, Brian asked.
“No sir, nothing like that. Welcome on board”, he smiled.
Brian nodded, giving him the go ahead to fly the plane. He left soon as Brian and his friends settled down.
“We have to keep an eye on him. I still don’t trust him”, Jack said.
“Same here. Erh… Anyone knows our to fly a plane incase something goes wrong?”, Killian asked.
“I do know how to fly a plane but it’s just the basics”, Jack said.
“That’s better than no knowledge at all. I have a feeling we’ll be needing your skills soon Jack”, Brian said.
“Then we have to get ready, we might have a bumpy ride”, he said.
Just then, a sharp beep was heard from Brian’s pager. He swiped the screen open to check the message and what he saw left him in shock.
“I’ve got news”, Jack said.
“Bad or good?”, Killian asked.
He was also on his phone, replying a series of texts that never seemed to reduce. Due to the nature of their job, they usually received threats from different sources all claiming to destroy them.
“All bad”, Jack said.
“Let’s hear it”, Brian said.
He wasn’t surprised any more when all the news he receives were full of bad messages and threats. Brian had become immune to it and there was nothing that could change that.
“I’ve gotten information on the whereabouts of Serah’s parents. They are in Croatia”, Jack said.
“Croatia? That’s freaking far”, Killian said.
“I know and that’s not all”, Jack said.
“Oh boy”, Brian groaned.
“Professor Handel just released some drugs into the country and it’s spreading fast to other countries. I fear there would be an outbreak soon”, Jack said.
“Then we have to stop them”, Brian vowed.
