MERCIA
29. Meeting with Captain Sanders.
Aira and Aruna go out to buy clothes, leaving August and Hedya at the hotel.
"What did you ask me to come here?" ask Hedya.
"i need your help, I know we rarely talk, but I'm sure we're on the same side" August said.
"What help?" ask Hedya.
"I want revenge, I want to smash Black Eagle to its roots" August said, his eyes filled with anger.
"with your power you can kill them easily without the need for my help" Hedya said.
"No.. Death is too good for Jacky, I want them to feel the pain first!" August says.
"what kind of help do you want?" ask Hedya.
"i want you to do two things for me, I promise I'll repay you in the future"
"first take me to your boss, I'll tell you why there."
"What's the second ?" ask Hedya
"can you get a cctv recording of the campus parking area a year ago, the last time I was there?! pinta August's.
"i'll try, you want to see my boss now?" ask Hedya.
"of course." replied August.
After sending a message to Aira, August and Hedya go to see Captain Sanders.
two hours later.
"Captain there's someone who wants to see you" Hedya said.
"Who?" ask Sanders.
Hedya did not reply, but nodded gesturing for August to enter the room.
"Good afternoon Captain Sanders" said August.
Captain Sanders was a little surprised.
"Aren't you.."
"Right, my name is August.., August Garcia." August cut out.
Hedya closed the door of the room and locked it.
"Sorry captain I took him without asking your permission first" Hedya said.
Captain Sanders is an experienced former agent, one of the best, he understands very well, there must be something big that will be conveyed by both of them. he responded with a nod of the head.
"it's okay, is there anything you want to say?" ask Sanders to August.
"i'm sure you've investigated me, and you know exactly what happened to me and my closest people, and I want revenge" August said.
"it looks like you're in the wrong place, this isn't a hit man's rental service bureau" Sanders said.
"captain I haven't finished talking I'm going to smash Black Eagle to its roots and drag Jacky and Bryan alive to the front of your noses, and then it's up to you to punish them both." August says.
"Haha.. Son you think we can't do that?" sanders belittled August's words.
August just smiled.
"i believe you're capable, I believe you have a myriad of evidence to bring them to justice, but I don't believe you can bear the consequences when Gorran and his group intervene" August said.
Captain Sanders was silent.The words of August are true, they can not do anything, they do not want the events of thirty years ago repeated.
"captain let me do this dirty work, Gorran won't touch you" August said.
"How can you be confident that Gorran won't attack us?" ask Sanders.
"After the Black Eagle is destroyed, do I intend to finish off Gorran and his group?" August says.
"Haha.. Hedya why are you bringing this clown into our office, I can't stop laughing" Sanders said.
Hedya was a little surprised, before August only told himself that he would only destroy the Black Eagle without offending Gorran. Despite seeing August's strength he still doubted August could defeat Gorran.
While August is not offended even though he is underestimated, he still maintains his smile.
"You don't know what you're talking about, you don't know who he is or what he is. Hedya get this guy out of my office right now!" said Sanders emotionally.
August stood with his palms on the table.
"Captain, I know who he is and where he came from, I know who Hedya is, I even know whose mother he is?" august said then pressed the wooden table.
Brak's..!
all the items on the table fell, while the wooden table was no longer visible turned into very fine wood powder.
Captain Sanders looked up at his eyes.
"Think of the captain with or without your help, I will still finish them off" August said, then walked away.
"that's. wait..!" captain Sanders was nervous.
"how did you do that?" ask Sanders.
"i'm just a prank, don't ask me to change his desk, I don't have any money" August said.
"Well.what do you want?" ask Sanders.
"after Black Eagle is destroyed I want the Lockhart family assets they seized to be returned to Julia as his heir. then you figure out a way to split their assets entirely between two people, Nora Roberts and Rafael Morisson.
"how are you sure Gorran won't suspect us?" ask Sanders.
"Gorran has been after me for a year, he'll see clearly I'm the culprit, I'll wait for him back in Buckland town I'll kill him there" August said.
"All right, I'll set it up" Sanders said.
August glanced at Hedya. "Hedya. I'll wait outside."
Hedya nodded.
"Hedya is he from proxima?" ask Sanders after August gets out of his office.
Hedya shook her head, "not."
"the captain fifteen minutes ago I doubted he could kill Gorran, but now that the doubt is gone, I finally know the reason why my mother respects him so much."
"huh.. Lady Lyra respects him?" captain Sanders was stunned.
"Captain he's not an ordinary man, and he's not alone, we're going to fight with him" Hedya said.
"we?" Sanders confused.
"me, my mother and three others" Hedya said as she pointed at the wood powder piling up.
From Hedya's finger came out a sliver of orange-colored light radiating towards the wood powder.the wood powder lifted into the air, clinging to each other the shape of the previously crushed table is now seen again, now seen again, the shadow of the table became dense.
Bruck.. Cracks..
The broken table is now back in one piece and fell on Captain Sanders' laptop, though Sanders' laptop crumbled, smiling, I hope you two stay together, until marriage and the birth of children who will take care of this world, Sanders said in his heart.
Hedya drove August back to the city of Royan in his car.
"you shouldn't have to take me back, I can go home by myself" August said.
"are you going to run like Aruna?" ask hedya.
"After all, didn't you ask me to look for that cctv footage of your college?" added Hedya.
"May I ask you something?" ask Hedya.
"please" said August.
"Is Julia your boyfriend? ask Hedya.
"it's not like it" August said awkwardly.
"looks like?"
"Hmm.. Let me guess, you want me to find that cctv tape to straighten out the misunderstanding between the two of you? ask Hedya.
"about like that." replied August.
"Is Aruna on the cctv tape?" ask Hedya.
"Where do you know?" ask August wonder.
"Did you forget I was an agent. Aruna took you to my mother's place" Hedya said
"Do you like Aruna?" ask Hedya without hesitation.
"He's been trying to kill me twice" August said.
"He also slept in bed with you, and that still hasn't answered my question" Hedya said.
"do you like it?"
August was silent.
"is my question too difficult?"
"all right I'll change the question."
"do you like Aira?"
"why are you asking me questions like that?" August says.
"I'm just trying to communicate with you, you're saying we talk less, I think it's time we got to know each other" Hedya said.
"it's not communication, it's interrogation" August said.
"so how?" ask Hedya.
"what is it?" August asked back.
"who is more beautiful, Aira or Aruna? ask Hedya.
"you're prettier." replied August indifferently.
"where is it prettier where am I or Julia?" ask Hedya.
"Huh..!"
"Stop your question, I'll treat you to the most luxurious restaurant" August said.
"you have no money, even I brought you breakfast this morning" Hedya said.
"I'm going to rob a bank" August said.
"you're going to arrest me and I'm going to be interrogated with the same question" Hedya said.
"ok.. ok.. What do you want?" august pasrah.
"i want you to promise me two wishes" Hedya said.
"two?"
"yes didn't you ask me to do two things today" Hedya asked.
August sighed. "alright, what's your request?"
"not now, I don't need it yet" Hedya said.
Soon August and Hedya had returned to the hotel, when they arrived at their room they both found Aira and Aruna trying on some clothes they had just bought.
"Hey August we're both waiting for you, there's something we want to ask you" Aira said.
"what's wrong?" August says.
Aira then pulled Aruna up to stand next to her.
then said
"Who do you think is the most beautiful, me or Aruna?"
August immediately looked down on his forehead.
Hedya immediately whispered in August's ear.
"i have cyanide, you want it?"
