"He's missing, He's messing!! shouted' Michael."
"What did you say?" asked Rosemary in an angry tone.
Michael answered, "I just said 'the old man is missing, he is not in his place of rest."
Coral reacted by saying, "Damit, is are sieve I know it will happen."
Rosemary reacted by said too, "Shit, me too, I suspected that something was off about that old man."
"She continued by saying, I suspected, the way he goes about telling stories of intense battles he's seen and witnessed all his life, I know something was off. Only Coral believed me when I said something is not right concerning that old man."
"Coral said, it has happened, he has already left the group and I believe he must have studied our line of defenses, what we do at any given time, our strengths and weakness, and most of all our numbers."
Michael said, "You are right Coral, he must have mastered how well our defense is and our numbers. We must do something about it."
"The only thing we could do about the matter is to track him down and kill him, and to inform everyone about what has happened to see if we will have an idea of where he is going from here." Said Rosemary.
" In response Coral said, That man must die, otherwise he will cost a great damage to the groups when he returns together with his forces."
Michael said, "I agree with you." "But don't you think it is still part of his plans to get us divided Because once we are divided our forces and defense will be reduced in numbers, which will make it easier to finish us up?"
Rosemary said, "I see sense in what you just said about him trying to divide our forces, but we must go after him, and try to kill him before he gets to his final destination."
Thus, as they were debating on the subject Cain the boyfriend' of Coral walked into their mist asking,
"What is happening? why are you three holding the line from moving?"
"in answer, Coral said, There is a big problem, my love, the old man I kept telling you he seems suspicious has left the group into the bushes straight up into the mountains."
"What," shouted Cain.
"Yes, and he is leaving with vital information about our line of defense and how many fighting men we have. Said Rosemary."
"Demit, we are fucked right now. says, Cain."
"He spoke future by asking, So, what's the game plan?" "What is about to happen next?"
"In answer to his questions, Michael said, We are left with two options, first, to go after him and hurt him down, which will lead to dividing our small line of defense. or we go for the next option which is the second, We stay behind and prepare for whatever comes our way."
"Cain responded by saying, neither way he is prepared for whatever we troll at him, and we have no element of surprise since he knows our game plan and numbers. So, it best we don't split our forces."
Rosemary said, "While I think we do have a game plan. An idea just popped up in my head and I think we know what to do."
"Coral asked, What's the plan?"
Rosemary responded by saying, "He wants us to chase after him so he could divide our forces, let's give him what he wants and let him think his plan is working. And when we are far behind, we will return to help the others, having the elements of surprises."
"She continued by asking, What do you guys think?"
"Michael replied by saying, I think that's a fantastic idea, I think this is the perfect idea to at least have a fighting chance."
Everyone was in support of them splitting their fighting men in two, and later, coming in for the rescue.
At once, Cain and Rosemary, together with a few others jumped on their horses and began chasing after the old. While the others such as Michael and Coral stayed behind to face whatever is coming their way.
Meanwhile, Four kilometers away from their location up North, lay harmed Mafias and bounty hunters waiting for a single from their master before they attack.
While, Cain and Rosemary, together with the others were searching for the old man so they could slit his trout, the old man was running upward to the high plans of the mountains where his forces are waiting for him.
Furthermore, not long after Rosemary and the rest of the others get to the hilltop where they spotted the old man arriving at the top of a lower hill, just two hills after them.
Hence, in other to scare the old man Rosemary shouted, "Run fool, don't stop running because we are coming to get you."
When the old man saw them, he was happy but he pretended to be scared. So, he increased the speed at which he was running so that Rosemary and the others may press on the Chase.
Therefore, the chase was on, and the old man ran into a house that was long been destroyed and came out from the other side with him riding a horse. Thus, with the way he was able to maneuver when they were trying to run passed a blockade at was about seven feet tall and make their escape, Rosemary confirms that he is indeed a bad man.
After, Rosemary and others got to where the old man was able to maneuver his way through, but they could not manage to find their way passed the blockade as the old man did. Quickly, they turned around and try the long process.
Meanwhile, when they went to use the long road, the old man kept charging his house to run faster and was moving past shortcuts so Rosemary and the others will be no way near him. After which he ran into a huge cave that led to various parts of the mountains so he could buy past the rocky slopes and heels that lays ahead.
Nevertheless, when Rosemary, Cain, and the others managed to get to the entrance of the cave they stopped and discuss among themselves what they are to do next.
Cain said to Rosemary after he had walked checked out its surroundings to see if he recognize anything, saying,
"I know this place, and this is the popular cave called' Cave of Portals, which is linked to anywhere in these mountains. and believe me when I say we all will be lost if we choose to follow that good for nothing old man in his mind games."
After much discussion, they quit their quest on chasing the old man and went back to join the others.
