Sweet Revenge's
Episode 23: Surprise

This chapter is a little dark

Happy reading 💕

***

"Are you asking Rainer for help?" Eryk asked after simply looking at a picture of Katherine, precisely the incident of the young woman's arrest in detail there, which was a little strange for him considering it was only from the surveillance camera.

Ferdinand nodded.

Eryk thought; strange, he had told Rainer to take a full break, would Rainer still want to get involved? When he gets home, he will advise Rainer on how important sleep is. "You didn't find who sent the letter?"

Ferdinand shook his head. "Unfortunately, the sender was on foot when he put his letter in our house mailbox, he was dressed in private of course, it was difficult to recognize because he was coming at night too."

Eryk gritted his teeth; it was slippery that whoever kidnapped Katherine, but there was something strange, the perpetrator just sent a letter not asking for ransom money or anything, that he did not understand, what is the purpose of this kidnapping!? Want to make it miserable? He stood up from his chair. "I'll.. huh?" his blue eyes involuntarily saw a small round green colored light moving on his desk. "Iti—" before one shot was completed on his desk, his blue eyes were wide.

"Keep out of Eryk's glass view!" Ferdinand instantly reigned, which Eryk quickly jumped to the side as much as once; he immediately turned Eryk's workbench to protect himself.

Eryk's heart was hunting, not expecting an attack this early.

Shot after shot spewed towards Eryk's desk where Ferdinand hid to make documents that Eryk laboriously worked to scatter everywhere.

If this continues his table made of iron will penetrate will also endanger Ferdinand.

Eryk has to do something. "You got a gun?" tanyakanya.

"I took it but it was difficult to aim at such a distance" Ferdinand said.

Eryk clicked angrily, looking for a way to get out of his study or at least make the shot stop for a while. He got the idea, immediately took the 22 glock gun that was deliberately stored by him behind his bookshelf, and returned to his place. "You just shoot Ferdinand."

Ferdinand's eyes widened. "You've lost your mind, haven't you? I told you I couldn't aim properly that far!"

"You're just distracting yourself! He must have been wearing a sniper because the shot wasn't as fast as a regular gun! We messed up her concentration, and I was out of here." Eryk explained as he loaded a bullet into his gun.

"But."

"Just do it, Ferdinand!" exclaiming Eryk, "Wait for a cue from me." he continued, Eryk put his gun behind his suit, then walked against the wall where the blind spot of the shot was, he finally stopped after he got near the door. "Ferdinand."

Ferdinand nodded, he took the right point, which was beside the glass, after one shot, he immediately ran to it, the opposite part of Eryk in order to minimize the possibility of Eryk being shot. He waited for the next shot while taking his pistol, filling it with a full bullet, when it was finished filling, at that time also the bullet was fired, he quickly aimed at the shot until the bullet was exhausted.

As Eryk suspected, the man did not shoot, perhaps dodging; without wasting this golden opportunity, he ran out of the room, he immediately closed the door along with a shot at the door.

"What's that?"

The shot at the door made a loud noise until it was heard by Clara who happened to be walking towards her study.

Eryk took his breath before then putting on his calm face. "There's nothing, get back to work," thankfully the room is soundproof otherwise she can't imagine how panicked Clara is.

"But" Clara was still curious.

"Back at work Clara, I'm not paying you to relax" said Eryk coldly, he did not have time to serve his secretary's insignificant rant, he had to quickly get down to find the shooter himself.

Clara said without protesting again, returning to the room.

Eryk immediately ran down the stairs, his mind wandering everywhere.

His work building only has seven floors, which means he has to find a building that has the same height or less as his building, next to it is an apartment with six floors, most likely there, he just needs to figure out where the shot is coming from.

'If only there had been Rainer.'

Eryk exited the building, but hiding behind a wall ensured that outside conditions were safe, no parked cars or windows were open in the next building. "There was no way they would attack in a crowded place like this." he muttered watching the large number of people passing by on the sidewalk, though crowded, there were no cars parked along the block, he glanced at the windows, there's nothing suspicious like a long shotgun or a guy by the window. He immediately ran to the building next to him which is indeed a distance close to his work building.

This apartment is not a five-star apartment so Eryk is not surprised if security here is lacking, a strategic place to shoot to his workplace.

Eryk stopped at an empty fork, pulled his head out the window, comparing his study to his building. "He's at the very top." An easy place if he scores. He continued his steps again.

"Geek!"

Eryk stopped and looked. "Ferdinand?"

Ferdinand stopped to catch his breath. "Thank God. huh..."

"You can come here... ?" ask Eryk.

"He stopped shooting just after you got out of the room. I think he ran away" Ferdinand said calmly.

"Well," if it's true, the perpetrator is still inside right now, there's only one way to catch the perpetrator. "You're taking the elevator, Ferdinand."

"Eh?"

"I'm going up the stairs, chances are he chose the ladder is bigger because if it's true that he's wearing a sniper-type rifle, will provoke suspicion of people who are carrying weapons as big and as long as it is, right?" Eryk.

"But you're not wearing any security! Wouldn't we rather just wait outside? See everyone out of here?" Ferdinand suggested, he did not like the idea of splitting up like this let alone Eryk took the path that has the greatest possibility of the person running away considering Eryk himself who became the target.

"I'm fine, you know what I'm capable of, right?" Eryk asked back. "Now it's better for us to split up, I'm worried that person might hurt someone else here" he continued. "You didn't shoot in the room, did you?"

"Of course not!" said Ferdinand. "The gap is small but I know which way I shot, the guy shot from the roof."

As Eryk alleged, the man shot on the roof of the building. "Then we meet at the top, Ferdinand" said he immediately climbed the stairs, he occasionally stopped to hear if there were any footsteps other than himself, then continued again after a positive absence, he said, his breathing and his heart were so fast, at every step he wondered if this was Kervyn? Are they going to meet and finally end all this fighting? Or is it his job rival? Was it the guy who kidnapped Katherine?

So many possibilities that Eryk had reached the top floor, there Ferdinand was waiting for him.

"How's it?" asked Ferdinand.

Eryk shook his head.

Ferdinand thought for a moment. "That means there's a chance he's staying here, Eryk. I was also riding the elevator alone, no one was riding but me."

Eryk paused for a moment; what did all this mean? His eyes were fixed on the brown door that was connected to the roof of the building. "There was only one possibility of Ferdinand," he pulled out the gun behind his suit.

Ferdinand nodded, picked up his gun as well, walked up to the door, then looked at each other, nodded at each other and opened the door.

Once outside on the roof, Eryk inspected his surroundings, and grieved that there was no one, it was true that the person might be staying here. "Oh," his eyes accidentally found a paper overwritten by a stone so as not to be blown away by the morning air on the edge of the building. He took it and read it.

You Can't Catch Me, Mister Enzo :)

Such was the writing on the paper, which caused Eryk to tear him to pieces in anger. "Kervyn!"
