Reborn Heart of Steel

I took it and was struck with the obvious proposal that remained unsaid. Still, Agent Harris was going out of his way to offer us some relief.

Thanks,” I heard myself whispering. He nodded curtly. ‘Please don’t make me regret this,’ he said. ‘And for the love of God, be careful. The Raven isn’t just any ordinary criminal. ‘ ‘What?’ asked Chase when the agent was reluctant. ‘You forgot there is so much more that hasn’t been said yet. ‘ Agent Harris looked like he was trying to weigh something in his mind for a moment before he spoke. “They have been talking. There are whispers that The Raven is gearing up for something big that would dwarf your little fire-bugging to a camp fire . ”

There is more than just talking about ‘The Raven’ as others have said, most of those people are just cowards, says Davies. There is a moment in the movies when a person feels a sting, usually in the spine it gave me that feeling. “What kind of something?” This is what the agent scoffed at negatively by shaking his head. ‘I don’t know that’ The ‘that’ here is replaced with a subject that is highly secretive and effective in ensuring that people are frightened to even speak about it. I looked at Chase and Alessandro and nodded. This was new information, it was possibly a game changer. ”Is that why you came to warn us off?” Alessandro queried. “Because you still believe that we are vulnerable and might be attacked as the other factions fight?” Apart from the variations that had been made, the general reactions of Agent Harris were the answers: he did not say anything. I moved with a passion full of repudiation towards stagnation and lethargy. However much The Raven planned to do, we had to prevent it from happening. “Thank you for the warning,” I said, filtering what new plan should be next. “We’ll be careful. ” The agent sat and looked at me with a frown on her face. “I think not. Just… don’t go and die on me now, alright?” With that, he got up and walked out, shutting the door after him. It was a few seconds of quiet for all of us who were at the losing end of the operation. Chase was the first to open his mouth. “Well, that was. .. ” “Intense,” Alessandro supplied for his sake. I was thinking hard and, after a moment, nodded, my hands fiddling with the edges of the business card from Agent Harris. “Yeah. But it doesn’t change anything. If anything, it just shows how on track we are. ” Chase looked at me and I could tell he was worried. ‘Bri, perhaps we should heed his advice. The Ravens are known to be planning their next huge move?’ I shook my head vigorously. ‘That is why we can’t give up now. Perhaps, we are the only ones who can avert what he is planning’. Alessandro nodded slowly. “Brianne is right, we cannot back down now, it will go down as a shameful defeat, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be reckless. ” Chase said: “Yes, let’s create a new strategy. ” I picked up the notes and sheets from the bed, and the floor. That’s one thing The Raven won’t predict. ” When we covered and whispered in the car, coming up with new tactics and trying to figure out any information that was let by Agent Harris, the feeling of determination grew within me. Yes, they were: not that all the previous finals victories had not been important they had but now the very ownership of the object of passion might be in question. Well, yes, we were staking our all our money, our professional reputation, our freedom in the cases we pursued. But we were also the only ones willing to take that risk, to challenge The Raven and his large criminal organization. Days went by until we were through with strategizing and arguing. By the time we had a clear feeling what our tactics should be, the sun was setting. It was reckless, could be termed homicidal, but it was also our only chance to finish off The Raven for good. Finally, Chase and Alessandro wore themselves out and slept while lying among our pile of papers and laptops. I could not sleep. I stole out of the motel room and stood outside, my head against the rail of the second floor balcony, sucking in the cold night air. These words of Agent Harris weighed so much on my head. Jail time. The end of our futures before they’d even begun. But was I willing to take that chance really? Would it be right to invite Chase and Alessandro to risk it with me? But then I thought of The Raven, and of the look in their eyes when they said his name. At that, my mind went back to all the criminal acts of his, the lives he had destroyed. And I understood for the first time with a feeling that was at once profoundly frightening and invigorating that I could not leave. I took out my phone and looked at the last message from The Raven. ‘Game on, baby girl,’ said the text. A taunt, a challenge. Eh, two could play at that game. With steady fingers, I typed out a response: “Check mate coming soon, bird boy. ‘ I typed the message and sent it before I could change my mind, a streak of rebellion in me wanted him to believe that we were terrified, shifting from one motel to another. Let him underestimate us. We would teach him just how effective a group of teenage activists could be. I slipped into the room, avoiding waking up my friends and, despite what came next, everything became peaceful inside of me; we were in it for the thick and thin. Sadly, the Raven had absolutely no indication of what the reader has coming for him. I lay down on the bed, grasping Agent Harris’s card in my hand as if it might protect me. It was the constant indication of the fact that we were living on the edge, the fact that we were treading the thin line between lawfulness and lawlessness. But it was also a small consolation that not all people viewed us as oppressors. Perhaps, and here I’m considering the greatest possibility, we were not the only ones to wage this war. But before I closed my eyes, my last sane thought was preoccupied by The Raven. He believed that he had us on the run; that we were quaking in our boots, but he was mistaken. We weren’t running anymore. We were hunting. And soon, very soon, we’d show him what happened when you pushed a group of Westbrook High students too far. Indeed, the game was on. ” And we intended to play for the win.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
