Chapter 15 - More News

Creed had just gone out of the room where Jade was in. His phone was ringing he checked the caller, it was Tanri from the RFI main headquarters. He answered the phone to see what could she want.

"Hello? Creed you there?" She spoke from the phone. "What's the situation with Shadowblade?" she added.

"He's dead. He got killed by an assassin as we were about to subdue him." Creed replied.

"This is bad." Tanri replied.

"Why what's wrong? Don't we get the reward?" Creed asked.

"No its not that. The person whose supposed to give the reward just got killed."  Tanri replied.

"Selena Grey is dead?" He asked.

"Yeah. We just got on the crime scene, since we got a call from the local authorities." she replied.

"Hold on, why'd they call US?" Creed asked.

"It's standard operating procedure, we were the ones who transacted with her last before you three left. Local authorities are now asking for your presence here."  She replied.

"They also asked us to work on a case with them, a special one."  She added.

"What the hell happened there?" Creed asked.

"Hang on Creed the police will tell you guys when you get here. The Shadowblade case is now closed anyway since Shadowblade and Selena died. You'd best make it back here pronto. Tanri out."  She said.

"Damn...I have a bad feeling about this." Creed said to himself.

He went back to the room where Jade is. He went in and saw Jade now recovered and Jephtah preparing for departure.

"We have to go back to Etto. The person rewarding us got killed." Creed replied.

Jade and Jephtah got shocked when they heard about this. Jephtah saw the look on Creed's face like he knew something.

"You think it's the work of the Disciples?" Jephtah asked.

"There's no other answer. Falrich's attack and Nero's presence last night means they have declared war against me their former leader." Creed replied.

"Hang on, there's no need for you to be alone in this. We got your back Creed." Jade said.

"Thanks." Creed replied as he smiled at her. "We have to go back to Etto. We're going to be late for our briefing on our next case." he added.

The trio now made their way to the RFI annex parking lot and got on their jeep. Jephtah refueled it just in case and started the engine after refueling is done.

"We be goin back to Etto now!!" Jephtah said as they traveled back to the main HQ of the RFI.
