Chapter 35 - Deranged 3

Ted left the small bar and took the ACI-D car to Nueline, as they drove on the streets Ted asked, "What's Nueline like?" the ACI-D car responded, "it has been considered a dangerously active town and unlike WurstMuck and Junstrek, Nueline has no balance and crime is what describes Nueline and no one never uses that name no more, they renamed it, without the authorities awareness to 'Zaevamund'. And in the resident's eye point of view, they have given up on even showing resistance to that name." Ted looked through the items he needed, immediately trying to forget what he heard about Nueline, "if I may, the items that you require all linked to one location which will provide easy succession." the car scanned the items needed and punched in some coordinates, Ted followed the first coordinate which leads him to an abandoned factory, "I swear, there is always something that is abandoned." The car hit Ted and shouted, "quit whining boy! That's life! Deal with it." The car kicked Ted out and told him that he will be the lookout while Ted looked for the items, "The first three items required are in there but I would be cautious if I were you, this place is a good place for a hideout, you don't even know what type of people live in these parts of town." Ted replied, "thanks for the tip." in a sarcastic tone, Ted entered the factory and could see rust on the walls and metals strangely falling from the ceiling. Ted found the gear, conveniently packed and prepared to be taken, he opened the items and saw that they were more advanced than the ones that the bartender needed. He heard footsteps coming closer, he took the gear and hid as quickly as he could. Two trespassers who wore clothing similar to the Hye Ryp Gang entered the factory and were discussing what girls they were going to have fun with, that was when they realized that their gear had gone missing. "What the fuck! Didn't we eliminate any intruders?" As the trespassers said that, a lifeless body dropped onto Ted, and he almost screamed. He peaked and he saw one of them looking in his direction but they oddly didn't walk in his direction, it turns out that they were looking in the deceased body's direction and not Ted's. "Come on, let's beat it! This shithouse gives me the creeps." As they were about to leave, they were cornered by an obese man but not any obese man, but the same one that Ted saw kill that worker from before, "Fuck out of our way Nickdut!" they tried to walk past Nickdut but they were stopped when the heavily armoured woman had a heavy gun on the ready. "Listen, we just need information that's all." the Hye Ryp members looked at each other and asked, "what?" Nickdut smiled and asked them to get into his car, "The fuck we will, we know the type of shit you do with people like us... Forget about it." They walked off leaving Nickdut to signal his partner to shoot at them, "they tried to fight but ended up injuring themselves, they hid behind the ACI-D car that began shooting at Nickdut and his partner. The car stopped and rammed past Nickdut, it opened its door but it wasn't for them but for Ted as he dashed into the car with the gear, "Drive!" The ACI-D car reversed and into the road where Nickdut and the Hye Ryp members were both bewildered and shocked at who they saw, "it can't be... He's supposed to be..." Nickdut lit a cigar and slowly inhale the tobacco, his shocked look turned into a malicious smile. Ted looked at the gear and then at his hand as it was covered by the deceased victim's blood. "Ted? What is the matter with you?"
