Chapter 15 - Series of Events

"Harry, you gotta think straight!" yelled Meg, almost hitting Harry, who stood still in front of her.

"What! Is doing the right thing that bad these days? When will you stop this Meg?" queried Harry, careful enough not to raise his voice at Meg.

"When I get what I want!"

"I don't want to argue with you regarding this matter once again so bye. I'll go check on Clark. And yeah, we will be meeting the Salvadors at the police station tomorrow. We are filling a case against them. I got everything covered. They won't be able to escape this, "uttered Harry, a devilish smile plastered on his face as he made his way out.

" Nice, "muttered Meg.

From afar, Harry stood, sympathetically watching Clark wrap his hands around her mother Daisy,who pondered to the illumination that her beloved brother was now gone to a land of no return.

" Let me go Clark!"shouted Daisy with a high-pitched voice.

" Mom,stop,"said Clark, tightly holding her mom's right arm.

"What! I can't believe you're have the audacity to stop me after those ruthless cold blooded murderers just killed your uncle!" Daisy yelled ferociously.

"Mom,as much as this hurts you, believe me,it hurts me too but I'm trying hard to control my anger so that along with Uncle I don't end up losing you too. Mom, fighting those people requires good planning first or else we'll be engaging in a losing battle. Mom..."Once again Clark passionately held her amma gently in his arms,as the two sadly sobbed. It was such a sombre mood.

"We'll surely make them pay," added Clark.

" Mr. Charves,were you there at the time of attack? We need information that can lead us to the murderers?"

" No,"Clark replied boldly," I actually know nothing about this but..."

" I saw it all,"declared Harry, fixing his coat.

" Follow me to my office,"instructed the Corp.

" Mom, I have to go now. I don't want to get involved in this case in any way. Don't worry, I'll be checking on you. Just don't let your feelings overwhelm you. Everything will be alright. Bye." Having said that, Clark kissed his mother on her forehead and left.

He took a taxi back to the hospital where Bethany had been admitted.

There,things were no better as Bethany urgently required blood transfusion duese lose of blood, although she had been given some supplements and was now awake.

"Bethany," uttered Clark,tear of despondency welling up in his slow eyes. His face had turned crimson out of terror following the series of events that had transpired in the past few hours.

"C-c-c-c," stammered Bethany.

"Don't utter a word. Just relax," whispered Clark,his tears that he tried hard to hold back from falling, choking him.

" T-t-t-this might get us into troub-b-b-ble. Send Rex a m-m-m-m-message, telling him I got into an accident before it's too l-l-l-late as I know the thugs will say they were able to shoot me which might raise suspicion once they find out I was shot. So,get me transferred to a different hospital which is far away from here. Please immediately and tell the doctors to make it look like I was involved ina car crush." Bethany gasped for air after the long speech.

" Okay. I just hope we will find a blood donner as soon as possible. You look drained."

" I'll stay strong for you,"muttered Bethany wiping Clark's tears away.

"Please do. I need you to be beside me," said Clark kissing Bethany's hand.

Bethany's POV;

Never had I ever seen Clark looking so broken and shuttered before. It was as if he was going to die the next minute or something.

I tried to act strong in his sight though I was dying from within that even uttering a single word was a great struggle for me.

I also felt guilty as instead of being beside him, to console him, there I was, burdening him with my problems but it's not like I had much of an option.

I sorrowfully watched him as he ambled out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

I prayed that the Salvadors wouldn't suspect me as I was very much aware that they were not just nobodies who I could toy around with.

"This way," I heard a horse voice after which two nurses made their way inside, followed by Clark.

"Do it quick. We should be done in the next five minutes."

"Yes sir," they swiftly responded and convulsed to action.

I just watched as they plastered plasters on my face and tied a bandage around my head.

Along with that,my left leg was also plastered and I was left looking like an accident victim who was dying the next minute.

The whole scenerial cracked my bones,too sad that I lacked the strength to laugh.

"The ambulance should be here by now. Set this thing moving outside," instructed Clark.

I was suddenly enveloped in darkness and can't tell what occurred after that.

The next time I opened my eyes,Rex and Clark were seated right beside me.

"Violet!" exclaimed Rex.

"You're awake!" added

What happened?" I whispered.

" When I arrived here, you were in bad shape but thanks to the almighty deity, I was able to donate blood to you. You don't know how worried I was V, "vocalized Rex moving closer towards me.

" I'll be right back, "talked Clark and left the room.

I wasn't baffled as I knew Rex's behavior towards me got on his nerves.

Third Person's POV;

"My name is Harry Glandes, and she is..."

"Meg Glandes, his lawfully wedded wife," proudly talked Meg.

"Okay. So Harry, a while ago you said that you were there during the whole scenerial," started off the Corp.

"Yes sir."

"Good. Do you mind telling us what you were doing there?"asked the Corp sharply fixing his eyes on Harry.

"No, I don't mind. I had known about that warehouse long ago before you and I actually find it a coincidence that the same day I had decided to evade it the corps too did it."

"And why did you want to do that?"

"What else? But of course to gather evidence against the Salvadors because as early as now, I can assure you that that warehouse is one of the many where they hide drugs."

"But what evidence do you have to prove that?" inquired another corp.

"Isn't it blatant now that those people are criminals. Their names are clearly written in that notebook. What else do you require for you to believe us?"

"Okay. Can you briefly describe what happened there some few hours ago?"

"Meg and I arrived there later when Dean along with his colleagues had been captured. The men were too many for us to fight and we were therefore left with no other option but to watch them been tortured to death. Yeah, we thought of making a call for help but sadly, we had left our phones in the car which was quite a distance and by the time we were getting to them, it was too late already."

" Did you manage to capture a few faces? "

" Yes. I can vividly recall two men. "

" Good. You'll follow Constable Derrick so that you can describe them to him and maybe he can make a sketch that will help us in this case. Otherwise, thankyou for sparing your at most time to answer our questions. We'll get to the bottom of this and make sure the culprits suffer the consequences of such a henious crime. "

" You're welcome sir. "
