Chapter 6 - Hands Of The Prepared

Everyone looked terrified, Neku even shifted. I could tell that he was trying to decide whether he wanted to leave or stay. "There is hope, you know. There are 2 people in the world with this virus that doesn't work the same way. Me and one other that is currently out in Egypt. We have abilities that can amount to Succubus'."

A few of them gave me weary looks and Neku walked out entirely this time. Detective Nelson looked disappointed when he left, even more so when Dan'in left as well. "Just the five of us now." Timmot said. I looked around at everyone else there before looking down at Succubus, who was now starting to look different. "Stop with your damned magic tricks!" As I went to look at the others, everything below me started to shift, and my vision started to turn everything into phase of colours and twists and turns. Everything was getting distorted, and I couldn't stand barely anymore. "Tim! , quick, shoot the gun in the air!"

Timmot stood up and shot a round in the air, the effect wore off relatively quickly as Detective Nelson jumped. "What the hell is wrong with the two of you idiots!" He shouted. I pointed down at Succubus, and Detective Nelson shook his head violently, before returning to where he had been. "Anyways, we have no way of stopping this now, and we need someplace safe. Leaving the city is out of the question for now. It's too soon and we'll arise suspicion if those 2 things were to follow us with an army." Detective Nelson glanced my way, signalizing that I had his full attention. I nodded to thank him and continued on, "Our best guess is that it's not trying to hide itself of more than the people that those 2 infected. So that'll be a handful, not to mention they have insane regenerative capabilities thus a bite mark or 2 will be gone in a few hours once they've hit the 5th stage."

"Now that we have that main problem to deal with, we have to figure out how to find them, where would they hold them? Or would they even hold them? We have up to 15 hours before any faster infected start to show symptoms, 23 hours if we are lucky."7 hours actually."Succubus blurted out. "Why so?" I asked in return. "The Discords. They are already stronger, faster, and more adaptable than the normal, so they would likely already have a 16 hour infection time, now think, a speed infector and a Discord, that's some nasty shit we're looking at ain't it?" I hadn't thought about that, but it was a possibility, making theirs, Only 20 hours!

"We have no time to loose! She is most likely right! I never thought to think of a Discord and speed infector combination." I started pacing towards Timmot, "Keys!" I shouted. He responded by throwing the keys, I caught them barely with the nick of my middle and ring finger. "Everyone, to the van!" As I walked along, I heard a few set of footsteps behind me when I realized I left Succubus. "Where the fu-" Timmot had Succubus as she attempted to pull away from him. "Lemme see 'er" I said grabbing her by the wrists where she was tied.

"Where would have they put them, or had them gather up, Succubus?" I said on the way. "I'll tell you under 1 condition, well 3 if you wanna think about it the hard and annoying way." She snarled with a happy grin on her face. "What is it you sick magical bitch?" I snapped. "One is you won't be driving, 2 is you will sit in the back with me, 3 is that you have to go on long enough without getting aroused or put under my control as a magician." I looked at her dumbfounded. "You really expect me to agree to those terms?" She looked at me shyly, with a face that again no normal man could say no too. "It's futile, just stop." I scowled.

I got into the driver seat, and Timmot got to the seat besides me, while Kira and Detective Nelson watched Succubus. "Where we gonna go, succubus?" I asked with a bit of anger in my voice. We had been here for half an hour, from getting here till leaving. Its about time anyways. We had to get ready to leave anyways. Who knows how many people were left that Succubus either knew or didn't know about. It was a matter of time till we knew.

After 5 minutes of driving around aimlessly asking Succubus where they would have kept the newly infected. The newly infected were supposed to end up around bars and clubs where everyone would be drunk and it would hide the anger of the infected. They were smart and manipulative, so we had to get to these places quick. We also decided to split cars later so we could hit all of them since if we hadn't it'd take a few more than 30 hours including searching with everyone to be hostile towards us. And for this we had once choice, check them all by pretending to be police and saying a new regularly checkup due to the recent incident.

We came up to the first bar, Kira and Detective Nelson had already left in a separate car halfway on the way here. Not only that, but Detective Nelson only let us keep Succubus as long as we untied her, so now she's been a nuisance that we can't let escape. And who knows what Detective Nelson will do to me if I tie her up again. I sighed and locked the doors as the three of us exited the van. As we entered the bar, most eyes went straight to Succubus. Everyone looking at her was instantly trapped in her trance, and they had no idea that had happened. At that moment she probably had started to use her stupid magic stuff against them to change her appearance slightly.

"You boys are gonna help me from these two bad men right?" She whined, it was obviously fake but the people here were to drunk to realize that anyways. "Get 'im!" The whole bar stood up a started running towards us, Tim took out his gun and started to fire hitting the men in front of us a good four or five falling down dead the others that were hit groveling on the floor.

"You bitch! We had to do this because you decided to cause trouble!" She smiled in response to my anger. Tim looked at his gun and just stared at it trembling, unable to move. This outrage had caused the bar customers to stop in their tracks. "Now, who here was bitten or is part of the cause, the infected from the train! Show up before I shoot you all." Tim said as he looked up, a much more sinister smile than its face ever was on that train or as it looked at me right before it thought about killing me. From killing a few men and all the shit happening, of course some of us would go crazy but this seemed to be too quick.

It went from an act of defense to an act of uncontrollable violence if what he had inside right now broke his tiny chain. Granted he would leave only us two alive and all others that were infected would die too as well, but it would be for nothing. We are trying to save the city not murder all the residents. "We'll never let ourselves get caught by you!" Timmot looked up and his eyes were filled with the lust of blood. He pointed his gun at the voice with lightning speed and pulled the trigger.
