"Thomas Tyler on the line, what have you called for?" The Director took the Handset from the Landline, placing it on his ear and talking before the person could even say what he wanted.
-"The results from the voting that took place earlier today is out, and we have concluded that the Zoo Keepers are to be kept in charge of the Beasts that are still lingering around Masan. Therefore all investigators, officers and security agents are to vacate from any operations or cases relating to a Beast."-
Agent Thomas heard a beep, and he dropped the Handset immediately, slamming his hands on the table in frustration, calling the agents and cops that were sent to get Denzel to notify them of the information.
"I think someone said something about M.D being a BEAST right, so, adhering to the statements of the higher-ups, we are to stop all activities relating to M.D. Pass the message around and get back here, the operation is cancelled." Agent Thomas Tyler flung his phone to the table, falling back to his chair in frustration with the whole incident. While Lucas Jane had retired, Director Thomas Tyler's frustration had just begun.
*****************************
AT THAT SAME TIME...
Two guys walked in, each wearing a mask, one looking like the head of a Rat, and the other looking like a viper.
"Why are we meeting today?" The one with the mask of a snake said, his both hands placed behind his head, a shiny looking weapon, almost like a sword hanging just at his back.
"Just get the hell to your positions, the boss is about to address us," One of them, wearing the mask of a Rhinoceros said, standing under a little light, where only his head to his eyes could be seen.
The other one wearing a mask of a Rat walked in quietly, to a spot under a little light also.
The room was quite dark, ten dim straight lights protruding from above the ceiling, and Ten Men standing below it. Behind the chair that was seen to be the highest in the room was a big television hanging on the wall, a sky blue light showing on the screen.
"Boss, we are all here, may we Sit? I am stack tired and I want to sleep," Another one, wearing an Orang-utan mask said already preparing to sit.
"You may all sit," A very deep voice said from the screen that was behind them and in obedience, they all sat, each of them sitting straight.
"I know you all haven't heard the news, I leave it to Zero to explain it to you all." The voice said and everything went silent immediately the voice stopped talking.
"Hm-hm" The one that sat on the highest chair, their leader, Zero cleared his throat. "The government decided to leave the Beasts in our hands, and you all know, that we can't disappoint them," Under the little dim light that shone on Zero's face could show that he blinked, they could see that he was smiling.
"Isn't that great, it would be faster for us to finish up what Our Boss wants us to do," The one wearing the mask of an antelope said, grinning.
"Nope, it isn't that great, it would just take up more of my fun time, we hardly even had enough time before, and now I have to give up my time, I can't watch my cartoons anymore," The Orang-utan masked man said, frowning his face a little bit.
"You mean our fun time? Now I would have to start showing up early for these boring meetings, I need more time for art, don't y'all think so?" The snake masked man said.
"Keep it shut, you dumb asses, I need your attention here right now," Zero shrieked, looking as annoyed as ever.
"Okay, Boss,"
"As soon as that message came in, we have a new mission to attend to. As we heard, the soldiers, military agents and other security agents were sent on an operation to get M.D, that serial killer..."
"Who the hell is that?" The snake-headed man said again, interrupting Zero in his words again.
"Are you stupid?"
"Ohh, sorry boss,"
"Tch... Now, they just found out that M.D is a Beast, An Eagle to be more specific, and now it's our job to eliminate him. After lots of contemplation with Horse(the boss from the TV), we have concluded to send Sony and Ryder for that mission, no matter how strong he is, kill him, but make sure he still has a little life in him, because his body is needed, more like, the Beast in him is needed," Zero concluded, standing up from his seat. Sony, the guy that wore the mask of a snake and Ryder, the one that wore the mask of a Rhinoceros were the next set of people to stand up, leaving the premises.
*******************************
"Who knew that Ray and Douglas weren't just blabbing?" Agent Mason said, using the handkerchief in his hands to wipe off the sweat he had on his face.
"Boss, you called my name" Agent Ray walked towards Agent Mason, showing that he was completely dumbfounded.
"I'm talking about that day that you and Douglas were sent to check out the crime scene at Autumn Park four years ago when three of M.D's friends died. The only person left out was Miller Denzel, and also you guys said you saw a Beast right? I can't believe we even thought you were lying," Agent Mason replied, still dabbing his face with his handkerchief.
"Well, we can't blame you, We all know that Ray and Douglas have a thing that no one understands," Susan replied, smiling.
All of a sudden, they noticed that the forensics team were already leaving, pulling off the crime scene tag that was laid around there. The Police vehicles also took off, leaving there. As if what they had seen wasn't enough, the helicopters that kept hovering, and the ones that followed the Eagle turned back all of a sudden.
"What's going on?" Ray asked in confusion, looking around him as the only ones left with him were his teammates. "Susan, did they get a new report?" Ray added, tapping Susan that was just at his front.
"Are you asking me? We are both here together, you fool," She replied him, shoving his hand away from her body.
"Boss, what's going on?" Agent Mason had already begun a phone call, it seemed like they were calling their director.
After talking and arguing continuously, Agent Mason finally turned off the phone, he looked up in fraustration, and then told his teammates to get into the car.
"This operation has been cancelled," He said.
Denzel kept flying forward, not even turning his face to take a look at the helicopter that kept chasing him, and soon, he noticed that the noises of helicopters had begun to fade away.
"Hmph!" Mical chuckled, "seems like they've finally accepted that you aren't Denzel, Lucky us!"
Denzel smiled in return, and they kept chuckling, not knowing what was coming for them.
After about five minutes, Mical had already reduced his speed when all of a sudden, Mical looked by his side, and he could see a weird looking face.
"What?-" The next thing that happened immediately when Mical said that was a kick that Mical received at the side of its body.
That kick was no ordinary kick, even Owl would have had a hard time getting back from that attack.
"Haha, he is just weaker than I thought, Ryder," The person that kicked Mical was Sony, from the Zoo Keepers, and when he dropped, he kept in walking with Ryder who just kept walking, not even saying a word to reply to him. "Let's get him quickly Ryder, I need time to weave something new, I got mad inspo as I flew earlier,"
"Shut the hell up and Focus," That was the first thing Ryder said ever since they left for that mission.
"Damn, boring as always," Sony said, both hands placed behind his head, shifting his face away from Ryder.
They walked towards where Mical landed after that direct attack from Sony, and soon, they saw Mical, he was already slowly switching back with Denzel.
"Denzel, I have used about 20 per cent of my strength, I need to rest, switch back with me... And we need to synchronise as soon as possible,"
"Mical, wait! Who are these people? I can't see their faces, one has the face of a Snake and the face of a... Rhino? What the hell?"
Denzel stood up immediately, he could feel that a little energy had been restored as Mical took over. He began to run, as fast as he could, to anywhere he could since he knew nowhere around that place.
He kept on running until he saw a vehicle pull up towards him.
"Get in ASAP, it's me, Grayson," The moment the window was wind down, Denzel could hear Grayson's voice from the car.
Denzel didn't think twice, he quickly opened the door, got inside and slammed it after him.
The car drove off, as fast as it could and Grayson looked at how much Denzel kept panting.
"What... are you-- doing here?" Denzel forced himself to ask Grayson.
"We have no time, can you drive? I would look for how to intercept them, we would talk later."
Grayson got out of the vehicle, running backwards, and Denzel took the steering, even though he knew he wasn't that good at driving, he just had to leave it to his guesses.
Grayson kept on running and noticed that they weren't chasing them. "What the hell? What?" Grayson looked behind him and noticed a huge Rhinoceros running at the car that Denzel drove, hitting it once as soon as it got to it.
The car crashed, and Denzel flew out of the window of the other door. He didn't know what happened, all he could tell from the pain he felt in his leg was that he was badly injured saas own there and that he was in the air.
When he was about to crash into a wall of a house that was just behind him, he knew that was going to be the end of him, so forcing it out unintentionally, Mical's wings began to protrude from his back, but his whole body didn't switch with Mical.
Denzel finally crashed into the door of a house, and then to the ground, and what saved him was Mical's wings that guarded him against hitting his back on the door.
"Denzel I am going to sleep, don't wake me up for a month," Mical said to Denzel, and went to sleep, the wings that came out had already disappeared, and Denzel Couldn't even move.
Denzel kept groaning when he heard the door he crashed into the open. He managed to look up, and at the sight of who he saw, he opened his eyes in surprise.
"Help me out please...Zoey,"
"Denzel?!" Zoey took a closer look at him, carrying him from the ground. "Come in,"
"I can't stand, please,"
Zoey ran to him, kneeling, and she took one of his hands, placing it on her shoulder to help him up.
"Thank you," Denzel's voice was already faint, he kept gasping for breath when she got into the house and threw him on a sofa.
