Chapter 54 - Black Incoming

Chase and Barbra rushed to an elevator, they got in as Chase quickly pressed the button, and the doors closed taking them to the last floor. Chase clicked his gun, pointing it to Barbra's head. She turned at the action unwavering.

"You better start talking," Chase began darkly.

"I hope you're aware that you are pointing a gun at your Captain,".

"I don't fucking care just tell me, tell me the truth, what the V-ghoul said, is it true?!" he demands pissed.

Barbra smiled.

"I always admire your courage Chase, it's what makes you exceptional from the others," she said amused, but then her features turns serious.

"No Chase, it's all a lie. Tell me, why would I harbor the father of the black ghoul who was responsible for Seth's death"

She made a point, why would Barbra do such a thing? She hated the black ghoul more than anything, it didn't make any sense that she would do such a thing. He had to rethink the situation and beside why was he gonna listen to the words of a ghoul.

Chase slowly lower his gun. 

"You have to start trusting me, Chase. If you want the world to be a better place" she adds sternly.

The moment she said that the elevator made a ding sound as the doors slide open. 

"I will forget what you just did, consider it a favor," she said stepping out, Chase slowly stepped too. 

"Chase" Barbra said at the out entrance.

"It's Renee" she adds.

Chase's eyes widen as he rushes towards where Barbra stood, his eyes land on Renee at where the other few agents were, she was in a panic as Jesse tried to calm her down.

"Renee," Chase said relieved as he rushed to her side, Renee turned to Chase.

"Chase," she said trembling.

"Rex, Rex is still in there my baby boy is still inside that building" she cried.

Chase froze in shock.

"I told an agent to get him but I still haven't heard from her, Chase what if something bad happens to him," she said sobbing.

"Lorna went after him, it's been an hour now," Jesse said worriedly. Chase turns to the building.

*Loud Flapping Sound*

This caught everyone's attention, all actions halt as they heard the sound. They all look up one after the other. Chase looked up. Barbra came to where they were as she looked up too. 

In a distance, something came for the building. The civilians at the other end gasp as they saw what was coming.

"What's that," Chase said with wide eyes.

In a speed of black shadow, something came further and further like a plague.

Few Minutes Ago 

Five buildings away from the mall where the chaos was raging. A hooded figure stood at the top of a building, at the edge watching the scene from the distance he was, the lights there bright, with wailing sirens.

"Boss it's getting more intense in there" a female voice sounds from the comm, it was small and black, clicked to his ear. 

"Agents, ghouls. The current status in there is still unknown, I will have to hack into the surveillance cameras" she said again.

He squats on the edge as the wind careless around him, his long black jacket flapping behind him. His body vibrates in intense black shadow like he was phasing.

"You have five minutes to hack" his voice was deep and dark.

"Boss" she began.

"The distance to the building is too much, when you merge with Ghost the amount of speed per second will be too intense" she adds. 

"I will take that risk," Liam O'Brien said darkly as he jumps off the edge of the building falling fast.

He was upside down falling, he slowly closed his eyes, the wild wind flapping around his body, his body still vibrating.

He flashes his ghoul eyes open as his whole body went up in dark shadow, black wings spread widely flying direct to the mall like a plague, it moved in extreme speed.

The Mall 

*Loud Flapping Sound*

This caught everyone's attention, all actions halt as they heard the sound. They all look up one after the other. Chase looks up. Barbra came to where they were as she looks up too. 

In a distance, something came for the building. The civilians at the other end gasp as they saw what was coming.

"What that?" Chase said with wide eyes.

In a speed of black shadow, something came further and further like a plague.

*Loud Panic Screams*

"It's the black ghoul!" Barbra hissed.

The black shadow flew into the building with force, it causes a loud noise as pieces of glass from the building splashed everywhere, from all the windows. The crowd had to duck at the sudden splash. Chase covered Renee as she shouts.

"ALL AGENTS THE BLACK GHOUL IS IN THERE" Barbra shouts at her comm due to the loud noise.

"EVERYONE IN THERE NOW!"

Inside

Sixth Floor 

In a wide hall, there was a large wave of destruction due to the force, the destruction shows down to a hole that leads to the second floor, spoiled wires gave sparks of electricity.

***

Second Floor

Kris's hands trembled as he points the gun at the black shadow that barge in from nowhere, from above. About six agents were with him who trembles also.

The intense dark shadow slowly stood up about fifteen feet tall, the wings spread out.

The agents watch with shaky eyes as the shadow slowly lessen bit by bit until it revealed Liam, he cracked his head, sighing as he slowly opened his ghoul eyes that lands on the agents. Bits of his front hair fell on his forehead out from his hood, he didn't cover his face, it was exposed to them. He wore a long knee-length leather jacket, beneath was a white long sleeve shirt tucked in, the button down a bit, black pants, and shoes.

A dark smirk pressed against his lips in a sick twisted manner, smelling their fear, his ghoul's eyes beams dangerously.
