Chapter 176: Black Return

"Damn it, Rex, what do you have here," she murmured searching. She pulled it out only to find out it was a piece of paper, folded, out of curiosity she unfolded it and the moment she saw Chase’s name, she gasped, she knew it must be from him, she quickly opened it as tears fell on their own accord. Her heart ached when she read the contents.

’Renee I can’t tell you how sorry I’m for saying this... but I might not make it to the airport with you guys, I had an encounter today, and I have a feeling I still have some unfinished business with the agency. I pray it doesn’t get to a point where you would see this letter, I really hope so, but if you do that means I’m late for the airport.

Please keep my promise, get on that plane no matter what, and don’t look back. I can’t promise but I will try as much as I can to board the next plane and meet up with you guys, I won’t ask you to wait for me, I’m really not asking, but I will try my best so that I can make it to you guys’

CHASE

She broke into silent tears covering her mouth to keep her from screaming in pain, she knew what this letter meant, she knew what he was asking, she knew he wasn’t coming back. She took a deep breath calming herself down as she sobbed, she felt empty, she felt pain, but she had to stay strong for Rex and for him too.

"We will wait" she nods sobbing. "So come back to us". It was a silent prayer and last wish.

The plane left the city.

"I can’t believe you guys are leaving soon," Miles said with sad eyes, he was expecting they would stay longer because of the crisis going on.

"We have to, the world is unstable for ghouls as it is, I can’t just sit still," Liam said, he knew staying longer wasn’t gonna cut it. "The best place to operate from is our headquarters" he adds.

Miles nods in understanding, they had responsibilities to attend to and they can’t be met here.

"Don’t worry everything is gonna be okay" Liam assured him with a hand on his shoulder, he knew Miles was scared of the hunt, but he was safe here, every ghoul was safe in their Hometown, he just had to end the hunt sooner.

"Are you really gonna fight him back, what if it’s what he wants?" Miles said, knowing the Jones to be destructive as usual, he was certain this brother of Barbra Jones wasn’t far from it.

"I’m done running Miles, sooner or later we are gonna have to fight back, the last hunt we didn’t, we barely finished what we started, but this time it gonna be different" Liam said certainly, he was damn serious about what he said, enough was enough, this man killed their son in cold blood and now he was coming after them, this craziness has to stop.

Miles watched as Liam got into the SUV, and it drove off.

"Kayla, I want our eyes in every City, searching for any ghouls that haven’t migrated yet, the city isn’t safe for them," Sean said.

"You got it," Kayla said as her fingers went fast against the keyboard.

Iris rushed into the operating room.

"Liam and Riley are arriving soon, I just got their text," Iris said. "And" she adds.

Sean faced her.

"All registered planes landing are monitored by the government because of the hunt, Liam and Riley’s private plane can’t land anywhere but the airport," Iris said.

"Shit" Sean cursed.

"This is bad," Gray said.

"They must have got to the airport surrounded by agents, this is their plan, I think they know they aren’t back... of course, this was perfect timing for the hunt," Rory said rubbing his chin in thought.

"This is Vincent doing, he wants to kill them at the airport," Sean said sternly.

"Why do I have the feeling that Liam and Riley know that," Iris said, folding her arms.

Airport

About twenty agents pointed their guns at the plane that landed not too long ago.

"Hold fire," one of them said as they walked to the hatch, their guns pointed at high alert.

"Steady," the agent said once more.

The plane hatch made a sound as the door slid open, they waited on high alert, anticipation kicking in, all waiting until they saw any threat.

The hatch was fully open but no one came out.

"Five of you with me," The agent said as they approached the stairs, going inside the plane, they stayed careful and alert knowing they weren’t dealing with normal ghouls.

They pointed their guns in every area but inside was empty.

"Check the cockpit, and check the other sides" the agent ordered as the rest Investigated the entire plane, but no one, not a single soul was in there.

"Sir, do you hear that?" One said.

"Hear what?" He puts his ear down for any sound and then he hears it... Beeping sound, almost like a countdown, no it WAS a countdown, it was a...

He froze as his eyes widened in realization.

"GET OUT OF THE PLANE NOW!!! MOVE AWAY" he shouts alerting everyone as they rushed out in a hurry, but it was too late, the countdown ended. And the plane exploded, flames consuming everything in an instance going up into the skies.

A Few Distance Away

"That should keep them off our tails for now," Riley said, sighing, arms folded, watching the explosion.

Liam typed a message on his transparent iPhone.

"Let’s hope so," he said, shoving his phone inside his pocket.

"He wants war," Liam said sternly as they turned to walk away.

"Well, he’s gonna get just that"
