Raymond was a little bit confused. This was the same bar he came that day with Stan. He moved closer holding Grace hand tight. The two couldn't leave each other behind.
"I count like a dozen armed men" he murmured. "Why would they upgrade security?" he was still battling his confusion.
"Are we in the right place" Grace asked after watching him. She must have noticed his cluelessness.
Grace wore a red little dress with some long stockings that ran high up under the dress. She had hair bound into a cool shape. Raymond was in a small jacket that couldn't cover the hem of his round necked shirt with a loose pants. They looked like some high school kid escaping from home to spend time together.
"This is the place. I just wish it's still the same occupant" he replied her gently. He wouldn't want her to be at unease.
They moved closer and was making their way in, ignoring the armed men.
One of the men jumped in their way holding a metal detector.
This was the biggest mistake and they have made it. The only thing left now was defeat served on a platter before them.Grace clearly had no chance against this hefty heartless emotionless asset. It was created to destroy.If Raymond was sure that Mr. Cypher would accept apologies. He would lie down flat on his face to beg for his mercy and forgiveness.It was true that luck wouldn't come when it was needed the most. Raymond was totally lost. There was no more tricks up his sleeves. He knew he was not that wise before. It was just funny how people used to think he was.Grace rushed to jump on the asset to probably attack him on the jugular. But she couldn't reach as the asset held her high after catching her neck with only one of his arms.She smacked his hand maybe he would drop her if the pain got to him. The asset wasn't feeling anything. It seemed he had been engineered to withstand pain or not to feel it at all.He rotated on the
No matter how much Raymond pressed down the accelerator,the car wouldn't move. Grace was so scared to go down and face him.Raymond stepped on the brake. The asset and the car jumped back unexpectedly knocking the asset off his feet. Raymond retook the control of the car and zoomed off quickly."I'm sorry for that, you went through a lot of beating today" Raymond said after driving fast for some minutes.Grace looked in his direction. She looked away again."I am still looking forward to the time" he talked to himself but loudly. "The time she will say something when she is like this"Grace looked at him again. She looked away, the same way she did before."Don't look at me if you are not going to say a word to me" he criticized her frequent stare. "And when did you take that syringe from me?""I'm sorry, I will ask you that later" he quickly added to avoid her incomprehensible glance.There were bangs against the trunk of the
"Stay calm and sit down" Mayor Mount implored Raymond.Raymond acted like he didn't hear him. He continued with his aimless movement up and down.Mayor Mount was not alright. He wouldn't have said that if he was. He could never calm down with what he just heard. Obviously, he didn't care about what would happen to Grace. That was why he could be calm and even made a great for them before discussing something dangerously important like this."Just sit down, please" he said again, now with a pleading tone. It seemed he had some more things to add to what he had already stirred up."Do you know what this means at all. That buyer would come after Grace and we will be helpless or what chances do we have against someone that was willing and ready to take on government" Raymond was embittered.He wished he could send them back in time and it would be the time when he was just an ordinary average mechanic. He would be prepared for any path Mayor Moun
Cover blown? To who. Even if cover would be blown. It shouldn't be this time that Grace was looking like Venus and lying beneath Raymond.That voice was obviously not Mayor Mount's. There were other people who knew about their presence here but none of them would contact them directly. That was the arrangement.Still fighting multitude of thoughts about what had just happened and what they could do. In that heap of confusions, Raymond noticed something about Grace. She was not disturbed.She remained calm and relaxed. Smiles seemed to be forming on her face starting with an emerging shape at the sides of her mouth.Maybe she didn't hear what he heard that threw him into sheer dilemma. She should have heard that. It was loud enough beyond something someone could deny.Raymond was about opening his mouth to ask for the reason behind her subtle happiness. She pointed her hands to the rear of his position. He turned to find a big TV that was on.&
That meant they had cameras and had been watching them maybe from the time they landed at the airport.For them to know his name, they would have known everything about him including what he had for breakfast.Grace pulled Raymond close and started kissing him all over his face voraciously. He wouldn't be able to think if she continued doing that. He tried playing by her rules to know what she was really planning to do."Raymond, any problem?" the man asked again facing the fierce looking man that opened the door."Oooh" Raymond moaned in relief. Raymond was the name of the man that opened the door."My bad, I thought you were talking to me. Raymond was my...." Raymond almost spilled before Grace cut in."His dog's name. Raymond was his dog's name. It was a good dog, you know and he likes it very much. He even wanted to bring it to our honeymoon here in Washington. I was like, dog, to honeymoon. A dog will be irritating me on my honeymoon. I
The only person who knew the whereabouts of the hard disk had no tongue. He even wanted to die.Since Grace and Raymond came back to their hotel room. They were the symbol of frustration."I have seen a lot of movies where cops had to punish criminals for them to open up. This is the first time I will see a situation where the suspect have no tongue. Can someone really survive without a tongue?" he was still not sure of what was going on."You saw it yourself" Grace said angrily. She seemed to be the most pained by the situation."It was just like a movie to me. He grabbed it like that and threw it to a biker appearing from nowhere. They are experts. I can't deny them that" he continued arguing within himself."We should tell Mayor Mount" he took his phone to make a call to him."And tell him what exactly, that we lost what we came all the way down here for, to a mysterious bike rider" she clearly didn't want him to call Mayor Mount.
"We lost the hard disk. we couldn't trace it anymore. It seemed it was taken underground somewhere" Mayor Mount explained sadly."We have a new lead into some basement of some mansions. I...we promise to bring it back sir" Raymond assured him."I am putting my trust in you. You are our last hope" Mayor Mount concluded."I think we don't have a choice than to save his little brother" Raymond said to Grace. He knew she wouldn't like that but that was the truth right now."They couldn't track it?" Grace asked the obvious. She should have known by what Raymond had been saying."It has been taken underground somewhere. I think their eyes couldn't penetrate earth's crust" Raymond joked.He didn't know Cale or his brother before. He just felt they should be helped and that, he felt was normal."So, what do we know about his brother?" Grace asked weakly like she had accepted, maybe she realized they had no choice."He will guide us the
"I still don't understand how this tunnel is going to lead into some basement of some mansion" Grace bent putting her hands on her knees out of exhaustion.They had been walking for some minutes in the tunnel using a map they got from Cale.It seemed she had gotten another thing to complain about. She had been whining about the weirdness of the solo policeman that came to retrieve the kids. After she already was not in support of saving the kids in the beginning.Raymond felt she was just complaining for sake of complaining. Maybe she had a personal problem she was dealing with. Dealing with a personal problem was normal, the issue therein was not sharing what it was and obscuring it with frequent complaints."Because you know nothing about architecture or civil engineering" Raymond replied waiting ahead. He was also exhausted. He gasped for breath."You know I've noticed you have been getting somehow bottled up since some times ago. What's i
