Chapter 68: Black Witness
Lorna’s hands were practically shaking against her gun, she could tell Jesse was too because if not she would have pulled the trigger without hesitation. What sort of a cursed fate was this for them? That was Lorna’s thought, just a few minutes ago they were talking about the black ghoul and now here he was, staring at them with that menacing ghoul eyes of his that beams a bright gold unlike the rest of the ghouls, showing how different he was, and that smirk against his lips, it was dark and twisted, unpredictable like it was mocking them.
The muffled sound of the captive broke her out of her trance. Ghost’s hand was still tightly grabbed around her neck, the poor girl was practically gasping for air, Lorna had to think of something.
"You will kill her" Lorna finally found the courage to speak up, she knew she was crazy but she couldn’t help it, his presence was intimidating and deadly but she turned a blind eye to it, someone was in danger, she couldn’t just stand still.
She felt Jesse beside her tense at the sound of her voice, she knew they were both in a thin line of death, that tall monstrous Claw could easily devour them before they could blink an eye. But still, Lorna surges on considering the witness, that poor girl could give out any second.
"She’s the only witness we have," Lorna said once more, her eyes drifting to Liam’s ghoul ones, she trembled more meeting his gaze but she stood her ground if they were going to survive this, then when he first saw her there was a bit soft look in his eyes but right now she rethinks everything, causes right now she was staring into an emotionless face of a killer.
"Well she’s mine witness now, I don’t care about what you agents think," Liam said as his deep voice boomed in the room, this agent had guts he would give it to her, any agent he has encounter practically froze up in fear just by the mere sight of him, but this particular was daring, and it made him more curious of what she might do.
Jesse gulps hard, eyeing Lorna a bit, thinking of what to do in this situation, knowing if they attack now, Ghost will move automatically and devour them.
"Witness you say," Lorna said, giving Jesse a look, she caught on as Lorna looked away. All she had to do right now was play a distraction, she was sure Jesse got her signal, she just needed a bit of time.
"That means you weren’t present in the attack then, you also want to find the culprit," Lorna said sternly her eyes landing on Liam once more, Liam’s eyebrow flick together in a frown knowing what she was aiming at, she was stalling for something, trust an agent to always have something up their sleeves.
"We are both after the same thing" She adds.
Liam rose to his feet showing how tall he was, they were alarmed by his sudden movement but they didn’t make any move to shoot fearing the consequence if they did.
