Chapter 174: Black Partners

Chase’s expression darkens, anything but the Ghoul killer coming to him, he should crawl back to the hole he came from.

"Aww come on, you haven’t seen me for years, not a hug or anything," he said sarcastically.

"You haven’t changed a bit..." Chase began sternly, making sure he sounded as unpleasant as he could.

"What do you want?!" He adds in a demanding tone, he knew this wasn’t exactly a coincidence that he was here, the fucking kid must have kept tabs on him before he can get to him, it made Chase’s blood boil, and he knew exactly who he was working for now.

"I heard you left the agency... I was shocked, I mean Chase Wyatt in all his glory just walked out of something like that, I’m disappointed" Seth said tilting his head to the side, he didn’t understand it either, why Chase would do that it wasn’t like him.

"I asked a question," Chase said with clenched teeth, practically growling, impatient, he wanted to know what he was up against if necessary.

"You know what I’m here for" Seth began in a serious tone.

"I see... it’s been all over the news... are you siding with Vincent Jones now? A brother we never knew she had... who was the actual owner of the agency" Chase said.

"I knew," Seth said.

Chase huff.

"Of course, you’re the precious son she never had," Chase said, finally meeting gaze with him.

"You and I both know how cunning she can be, that woman was full of lies... so is her brother, it runs in the family" he states, tearing his eyes away.

"You still don’t know, do you?" Seth began.

"Know what!" He snaps facing Seth.

"Barbra, she had feelings for you," he said. He knew it from the very beginning, but he knew Barbra never acted upon those feelings, that was the kind of woman she was, her work was always her priority.

Chase’s body tensed at his words, he wasn’t so surprised because there was time though, he caught a wimp of it, it was faint and hard to notice, it was the day he left the agency after he left her office when he shut the door, he waited behind, he didn’t know why but he just did and then he heard her cry her heart out while saying his name.

Chase gulps hard at the memory, he didn’t think of it, because he felt there was no need to, and they still weren’t, he did NOT have affection for that woman.

"It doesn’t matter now does it," he said faintly. Which was only the truth, it never mattered

He faces Seth once more.

"I don’t wanna be part of any of this anymore" he began sighing heavily.

"After today I’m leaving the city," he adds.

Seth froze at his words.

"Renee, Rex too, once I get them away from all this madness then I leave, I leave all this behind, it will only be a bad memory," he said.

Seth’s eyes shook at his words, he couldn’t believe Chase was leaving all this behind, Chase was someone who wanted to eradicate ghouls, now he was just gonna leave all that? What made him change his mind?

"I don’t even know who the enemy is anymore," he said with a scoff.

So that was the reason? Seth’s fist tightened.

"I mean the black ghoul I resented so much, saved millions of lives in this city, he saved all the drug addicts transforming into Claws... I don’t even know how he did it"

"So what now? You’re taking his side?" Seth hissed.

"I’m not taking sides, and I don’t intend on doing so because I don’t wanna be a part of this anymore," Chase said sternly.

"They killed Barbra," he hissed.

"It was suicide Seth, we all heard the news"

"It wasn’t, they killed her and made it seem that way," he said with clenched teeth.

"Seth" Chase said, rising to his feet, he took Rex’s hand, and he was done with his hotdog.

"It’s over, rather than keep chasing after vengeance, live the teenage life you missed out on because you were trying to please a woman who turned you into a weapon", those were his words as they left.

Leaving Seth to his thought, his fist clenched in a tight hold as his body boiled.

"One hamburger please," Jade said to the chef who nodded at her request. She took a seat next to Seth.

"It didn’t work, did it?" Jade began in a bored tone.

Seth didn’t even spare her a glance.

"Vincent allowed you to come here because he believed you would be able to convince Chase Wyatt to come back," she said.

"You know what happens when he says no".

On hearing that, Seth faced her with an emotionless face.

"I know," he said in a simple tone.

Jade smirks as her burger was served.

"Well then... let’s get to work," she said chewing on her burger not taking her eyes off Seth as she licks her lips, the action sent a strange feeling to Seth’s body.

The Cody’s Residences

"Hey there my little firecracker" Renee said giggling as Rex rushed to hug his mom tightly, he wrapped his arms around her waist, making her giggle more.

She looks up to a smiling Chase.

"So how did the outing go," she asked.

"Good, exactly what he needed," he shrugged.

Renee nods,

"Now off you go, go meet grandma for the rest of the packing," Renee said sweetly to her son.

He nods rushing upstairs.

Renee sighs facing him.

"You heard the news didn’t you" she began in a heavy breath.

"Yeah"

"Not yeah Chase... you were a former agent... don’t you think they are gonna recruit you or something? The contract you signed was for life" she ranted.

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down okay," he said softly, her body was still tense, he could tell she was both worried and scared.

She sighs once more.

"What happens when you say no?"
