Chapter 62: The infiltration plan
'This can't be. Sloan had died!'
In his mind, he screamed over and over. His body however remained frozen in place. The shock of seeing someone he had presumed to be dead, was too great.
Only when he felt the chilly night air blow in his face, was he able to recover from it. He quickly looked at the spot where he had seen Sloan but there was no one there. Both Sloan and the middle-aged man had gone away.
'Fuck. I lost them,' Hex thought regretfully. He slumped against the wall and slid down to the floor.
'Did I imagine it? Was he someone else? Or did he fake his death?'
Questions upon questions stormed inside his head. He came to the slums to comfort Gorge's parents. Instead, it was he who ended up even more disturbed and confused.
Taking a few deep breaths, Hex was able to calm his mind. He stood up and looked around.
'They have truly disappeared. It was such a great chance to find more but I screwed up.' Hex felt some regret but he didn't waste time blaming himself.
'I need to report this quickly.'
...
"Where is the baron?"
