The Legend of Grim reaper

CHAPTER 3 — GROPES

"Something stranger has happened" Julie called Michael at around 7:00 am to tell him what she heard in the news.

"What?" Michael murmured, still sleepy. He had been tipsy last night.

"Disappearance. A lot of people disappeared last night. Grim Reaper is at work Michael" Julie said alarmed.

"Gosh! How many disappearances?"

"Seven!"

"Seven!?"

"Yeah. Michael, what are you still doing? Don't tell me you're still in bed when you should be among the cops checking out what to do" Julie shouted.

"Julie" Michael moaned "I had some drinks last night, I'm hurt, Julie! Can't help not having Angela right here. And to make matters worse, there are more disappearances" Michael said.

"Michael I know it isn't easy, but you have to go ahead doing the right thing. Getting drunk can't help bring Angela and the others who have disappeared as well, so move it bro" Julie advised.

Michael got up, took a shower, dressed in his cop's uniform and headed out.

Just the same traces. All victims of sudden disappearances have the same notes and lockets. The notes inscribed 'Grim Reaper.'

"Investigations will be carried out to find out who and where Grim Reaper is. Madanland stays at ease…" The news reporter announced.

"Same notes and lockets" Julie shook her head.

Michael was at the different scenes and places the victims disappeared. Family and friends of the victims in grief as Michael stood to be one of them, having lost Angela to the heartless Grim Reaper.

"Michael, have you heard the news?"

"Yeah. They all have the same lockets and notes. Julie let's meet at your apartment. We have to get logistics" Michael said.

"Alright" Julie hung up.

"Andrew, let's meet at Julie's place" Michael called.

"Okay" Andrew answered from the other end.

Michael looked around at the whole place. He got into his car as he headed to Julie's apartment.

Julie in Egborton, computer department closed her unit for the day as she handed it to another expert, leaving it there for her apartment.

Julie, Michael and Andrew were all seated in Julie's apartment. Julie had given full details of Alrodes, Andrew is well informed about Alrodes.

"We need not waste time again. Tomorrow we have to be in Medronz" Julie stated.

"Then preparation starts today," Michael agreed.

"Yes," Andrew nodded.

"Julie, you have an idea of what we need?" Michael asked.

"Hahaha" She laughed briefly. "You cops need LMGs (Light Machine Guns), be technologically set. I'll also get ready. Let's meet tomorrow around 6:00 am. Nothing less than that. We need to get into Medronz before 9:00 am. So I guess we're done for now" Julie dismissed.

"What about the logistics?" Michael queried.

"Michael! Forget logistics, Alrodes is a magician and also an Antiquarian. He will tell us what we need" Julie said, standing akimbo.

"Tomorrow it is then!" Michael said tiredly as he signalled to Andrew, as they exited Julie's apartment.

"We need logic bombs, locator, logic circuit, L.M.G's, damn it! We need machines" Michael said as he arraigned his pistols, filling them with bullets and leaving Andrew who looked at him with pity.

"Michael, you still don't understand what we're about to do. Julie said Grim Reaper is powerful. Besides we're off to Medronz, land of magic. All these L.M.G's, logic bombs, would not have an effect on them. Alrodes is our only help and would tell us what instruments we need." Andrew explained calmly.

"I just want Angela to be safe"

"Then you got to think. Stop being weak. You're a cop Michael! I know you aren't weak."

"Then we need the Locator and some pistols. You never can tell" Michael concentrated on his equipment. Andrew came to help.

Thirty minutes later…

"This should be all" Michael sighed pointing at the pistols, short knives, Locators, GPRS and carriage-able oxygen.

"Yeah. Julie would add hers to this" Andrew said.

"See you then," Michael said, checking his wristwatch. It was 5:00 pm.

"I am gonna be spending the night here," Andrew said.

"What about Delphia?"

"She knows about this. I just hope she is going to be saved"

"But come to think of it, Grim Reaper's capturing revolves around females" Andrew noted.

"Keep that in mind and when we get to Medronz, ask Alrodes" Michael advised.

Andrew nodded.

They sat down having prepared everything to watch the news as they had been running down their throats.

"Pray Delphia goes safe" Andrew prayed.
