Chapter 9
The paused video that's all across the curved wall shows two businessmen to the right and left of a huge man with a gray jacket, blue jeans, and black flip-flops, but unfortunately, it's very pixelated.
Monri: Play the video
The widow shows the businessmen talking to Heracles and after a bit, they all walk out of the camera's field of view
Monri: Well that was useless
Al:useless? I can try reading their lips and scan every pixel for any kind of information
Monri: You can do that?
Al:Yup
Monri: Well... ok, yeah do that, and since you have access to the police, find out where Midas and Shini are
Al:Okay.... I have located Shini and Midas
Monri: That fast?
Al: Yup, their system is too easy, Shini is located at Levy's Mental Health Hospital, and Midas is scheduled to be transported to Beuford Penitentiary in Dallas Texas tomorrow with a police escort
Monri: Looks like I'm going to be busy, Al do you know the route they are taking? And my reward for completing the quest is getting weapons right?
Al:Yes to both
Monri:pull up the route, and try to find anything about the transportation while I work out
Al:Got It
He goes back to the training room and after 3 sweaty hours he is lying on the floor as he is fully exhausted and he gets a text.
==========
Kayla:Where are you?
Monri:helping a friend, also Cassandra's mom told me to tell you that your parents want you to visit
Kayla: Tell her to tell them I said I'm not going back
Monri:I'll tell her that next time I see her
Kayla:ok, how long till you come back?
Monri:Since I'm helping a friend move and I'm going to stay over at his place, I'll be back in the morning
Kayla:😢, I'm going to miss you
Monri:relax, I'm going to be gone for only a day
Kayla: But that's like 24 hours
Monri:I'll make some tacos when I come back
Kayla:Really????, YAY, I'll even clean the house before you come back
Monri:.... you're supposed to clean every day, I work for us and in return, you clean the house and do the laundry
Kayla: Whaa- I can't hear you the signal is messing with my phone
Monri: We are texting
Kayla:still can't hear you, stay safe
Monri:I'll try to
==========
He puts his phone in his pocket and gets up from the floor and goes all the way to his usual seat.
Monri: Any news?
Al: I'm done with the video and I still need to work on the rest
Monri: Okay show me the video
The video shows backup and the two businessmen speak in an obviously robotic voice.
Man1:we did our part, you and your hacker buddy are not in the news coverage and we took care of the police hunting you, now let's go before anyone sees us
Man2: Did you just grunt? Whatever due to your size you're for sure going on the
Al: That's all I can make out before they left the screen
Monri: That's annoying but they confirmed Cypher and Heracles betrayed me, show me the route for Midas
The screen shows the world then zooms into Texas.
Al:As we are located in Houston Texas and they are moving him to Dallas Texas
He scans through the route and he finds a prime location, it's a street with to the left is a few houses and to the right is a small hill with trees across it.
Monri:Time to go get my materials.
He goes to many stores and buys, some cameras that can move, a TV remote, more arrows, Laser pointers, duct tape, the strongest glue that he can find, and a plain black mask with holes for the eyes. After that, he went to the base and broke the sharpened tip out of every arrow and he put everything he collected into a duffle bag. He takes a bus to the location and he goes to the trees and sets everything up. He sits on the grass as the day turns into night and that's when Al speaks through his comm.
Al: In five minutes they will be at your location
He sees it, one armored van with a police car to its right, left, forward, and back. When they get closer he gets up and walks down the hill and then to the middle of the street and he stares at the group of vehicles. They get closer and closer till they hit it-
Tbc.....
