2. THEIR PLANS

"Is that true?" asked Tom, who still didn't believe it.

 "Trust him, Tom!" cried Alferd.

"No, it's not enough to convince me!"

"Stop this drama," emphatic Alan, gazing resentfully at the two old men in front of him, "The mermaid is mine now, I've come here to take what's mine."

And the place where Larissa was kidnapped is now crawling with cops. Without wasting any time, Alan struck Alferd's nape and put the man out of consciousness. He and the rest of the police department immediately rushed up against eleven people there, taking them all to the police station. Alferd's forces left only eleven of them, since the others had been at the police station first.

When it was all over, and the middle police were busy with the Alferd group, Alan hurried to rescue Larissa by entering the aquarium and removing the handcuffs on the woman's tail. After this he would get Larissa as far away from the mainland, and not a single policeman was allowed to take her except him. When Alan brings Larissa, she's not fighting back at all. It makes Alan easier to run.

Alan brings Larissa with a small body, so he didn't feel burdened at all. He enters one of his cars and sets out as fast as he can to get out of there. Not a single cop will even notice his departure and the mutiny he's in.

They went to a beach in Newquay, a beach that had been a silent witness to the whole story. The beach where Larissa's uncle and aunt lived, and the place where the woman grew up.

There, Manuel waited for Larissa to arrive with his wife. The two of them will take Larissa as far away from here as they can, because their plan went well with Alan's help.

However, Alan's hand gently held Larissa's hand. His head was down, his body was even shaking. He whispered, "I'm sorry."

Larissa looked at Alan beside her, and she felt warm droplets of water dripping down her hands. Looks like Alan is crying. The guy's body was seen shaking very clearly. Unfortunately, her heart grew even more painful when she saw Alan in that state.

"Forgive me, please. I'm sorry," Alan whispered constantly.

 "We should leave immediately," Olivia interrupted.

Larissa was still silent, but one of her hands moved to lift Alan's face to make him look at her. The hand also wiped away Alan's tears, "I wanted to tell you something."

 "It's my fault here. I can't protect you. Forgive me thoroughly I never told you about your parents—"

Larissa shook her head and grasped Alan into her arms, "No. You're not wrong, I believe you're not wrong at all. You have a good heart, your eyes always say that you are different from your father. You're not a killer, Alan. You don't have killer blood in you, you're a long way from him."

"We must give them some time," Manuel said, and looked at Larissa, "We will wait for you underwater, don't long because we should get going."

After that, Manuel and Olivia walked away. Now there was only Alan and Larissa under the darkness. Until the moonlight shone on them both, as if supporting their happiness.

Alan hugged Larissa back so hard he clenched one of his hands. Why, at times like this, can't he say it? Why is it so difficult to express all of his feelings?.

He cradled his embrace, stroking Larissa's beautiful face, "I want to say something. I have to say it."

 "Tell me now," pleaded Larissa.

Alan drew a deep breath, as he drew his face to Larissa and pressed her lips for a moment, "I have felt it from the time you helped me. I—"

Suddenly Alan's body was pulled from behind by someone, and he was thrown to the ground. Even that someone mercilessly beat Alan.

"Lake!" Larissa shrieked, surprised that she tried to approach the fight but failed because her tail was too painful to move.

"I'm going to kill you, motherfucker!" call down lake is pointing a gun at Alan's head.

Alan's quiet, he's not moving at all under Lake's leash. His face was already badly bruised, many of his body bruised from the Lake's powerful attack. His hands clenched, but couldn't move at all.

"I know this is all the plan you've made! You deliberately used Aleda as a go-between! You crazy psycho!" vituperate Lake again.

 Alan chuckled, "I just want to get mine back."

"Who are you talking about, huh!" snapped lake, pointing his gun even more.

 "I love her," he said in a low voice. One of his hands tried to move to larissa, "I had to express—"

Dor!

Suddenly, Lake presses the trigger, making the shot sound audible. A bullet got into Alan's head. Lake was surprised by what he had done, his hands trembling violently. The shadow of the blood coursing around him filled his brain, causing his hand to move back by itself to Alan's heart.

At the time, Lake felt Alferd whispering beside him, "Kill him. He took away your wife, and took away all your happiness."

At first lake tried to pull his hand, but it accidentally pressed back against him and caused the bullet to reattach Alan's body. The blood splashing on Lake's face, throwing him over Alan's body with a hysterical "No!"

Alan was half conscious there, and at that moment he had tears in his eyes and a look in Larissa. Alan whispered in his heart, "I love you, Larissa."

Besides Lake crying himself, Larissa cried out loud. Countless pearls were in her vicinity, she actually felt pain in her heart when she saw Lake shoot Alan twice in front of her eyes. As if Alan was giving herself that pain.

"Alan ...don't please,"' Larissa sobbed.

Lake turned, he looked at Larissa, who was behind him. He just up and threw his gun around. He hugged her more and more as Larissa rebelled.

 "Murderer! You murderer!" shrieked Larissa.

Lake shakes his headstrong, "Please believe me. I never killed him. I'm ...I didn't do it on purpose, I'm sorry."

Larissa looked up at someone who walked off the back of Lake, the man is truly still alive. He stood right behind Lake and laughed loudly, taking the gun near Alan. Larissa was growing more and more rebellious in the lake's embrace, as she saw the movement of Alferd.

"The fruit will never fall far from the tree! Blood of murderers is blood of murderers, ha ha!"

Lake was silent. He stopped crying. He slowly disengaged Larissa's embrace and looked back. Alferd stood not far away from him, holding a gun. His stood up, as if protecting Larissa from Alferd, "Kill me! Please let Larissa go with her aunt and uncle!"

 "Fine if you wish."

Dor! Dor!
