Chereads / AshBorne / Chapter 9 - Heist

Chapter 9 - Heist

Elijah kept hunting the second day, He would track them and kill. Apparently the police were full on duty that day, and the media was talking about the mass killing occured at the warehouse all day.

Elijah had no trouble avoiding the police with his new found abilities. But his hunt was not so good, it seems that they all withdrew to their hideout.

'But if they are all in paradise it could be a problem, there are too many... atleast 70 people left'

Even Elijah couldn't face all of them at once, a stray bullet may end his life. so he racked his brain to think of a way. He had not much time left to wait and take things slowly. Damn he had only today and tomorrow before he died.

Sigh

Elijah sighs and looks at a certain building with bit of odd look. The building front had a huge board that was written 'Police Department'. If he was to have a chance to win then he had to enter this building.

It was truly odd, currently the police was looking for him, and who would have thought the said person would go to them himself, not to turn himself but to rob them!!

It was 2:00 pm, he had continuously tracked and hunted the mafia for 9 hours straight after the warehouse incident. Honestly he was tired, he wanted to sit have a nice meal and sleep like a log. But the circumstances begged to differ.

"Haiii... I have to to do it... And I'm in no way enjoying this ok.. no I'm purely doing this for my goal and not because it was one of my fantasies.. yes definitely not" Reaffirming himself Elijah set off to rob a police office in the middle of the day.

...

In the busy police office , most were running here and there and some buried under mountain of papers. The sudden mass killing incident brought them lot of work.

"Uh.. damn why would Some crazy organization decided kill so many people on a whim" A guy asks in frustration to his partner who was in the same situation as him. They had to receive countless calls and inform them of the happening's and thier discoveries, and a lot of paper work to do, they were called at middle of the night and had been working since.

"Quit complaining, at least those people who got killed deserved it. we have been unable to catch them for a long time and who knew they conducted criminal activities right under our noses"

"Yeah that's right, But things are not that simple is it? Higher ups think this might escalate so they informed us to heavily arm everyone just in case"

He stood and stretched his back and legs and glanced at his partner.

" Let's keep this aside and bring out the weapons from the armory as ordered, it will help us get seperated from this table for a while"

"Yeah I agree, wait I will pick up... "

"What happened? "

"I can't find the key card... did You take it"

"I haven't, wasn't it on your table the entire time?"

...

"Wohhh.... what is this dream place... I love it... "

Elijah moaned looking at the huge collection of weapons. They were all kept orderly, neatly hanged on the walls as to show case them. Boxes of bullet magazine's , there were knives, swords, grenades, rocket launcher... this was a true wonder land.

Some of the bullets were enchanted onces, They were really expensive. and in the middle of the room a huge glass box was kept and inside them were a dozen enchanted swords.

Enchanted bullets were consumables and couldn't be reused but swords were different, They could be used as long as they didn't break. Plain guns would work only against ordinary people. But there were special people on whom they were ineffective like Awakened people for example.

Elijah looked at this and flashed a wide grin, He smiled for the first time after the incident two days ago. He willed and his shadow grew large and large till it covered every corner of the room and when the shadow receded, the whole room was empty and not a single thing could be seen inside.

Elijah had gained three abilities,

One was the vision...

Second was the teleportation..

Third was this.... a storage ability..

Overall his abilities were diverse and convenient, What else could he ask for?

After checking If he left anything behind,Elijah vanished into thin air like he was not there from the beginning.

...

Two officers came underground to check on the armory, they couldn't find the key card so they came to check if everything is alright. The entrance to the armory was like a steel vault of bank, it was constructed so that nothing affects the material inside, with all those grenades in the basement, they didn't want it to explode under thier asses.

The steel vault was open and when they peered inside they had shock of thier lifetime. The whole vault was completely empty and bleak as thier own future.

"Gone.. gone.. I can kiss good bye to my career .. What in the gods name happened??"

The guy who was entrusted with the key card almost had an heart attack, he couldn't understand how Someone could move so much equipment without anyone noticing.

"We can worry that later, the higher ups will understand, for now let's report it" The other officer helped the man stand. This was as big incident as the mass killing, because with the amount of weapons stolen someone could start an armed revolt. It was a serious matter, this place had the weapons of all the police department across the city and it was a reserve for military.

...

On a building 's rooftop, Elijah was seen eyes closed, he was seeing inside the space where he stored the weapons, seeing them he couldn't help but laugh.

"ohh.. the best thing in life is the feeling of getting expensive things for free!! "

The sheer amount of arms he stole was astounding . Elijah opened this eyes and opened his hands and a sword just materialized instantly. The sword was slim and had only one sharp side, it was a medium sized sword, it looked simple but futuristic.

Elijah gave it a couple of swings, it felt good in his hands. He didn't know to use swords and could only use knives and daggers. But he wanted to learn how to use a sword and get stronger.

Elijah retrieved the sword back and inhaled deeply and felt a sense of childish accomplishment

'It felt good ' He said in his mind.
