Chapter 94 - Black Suspense

"You lost Cain to the fucking black Ghoul?" Chase hissed pissed walking back and forth in his office.

"The Black ghoul came out of nowhere, he was onto us from the start," Johnny said with gritted teeth, he hated the fact they failed the mission.

"Cain has been taken by the black ghoul, he must want answers too," Jesse said certainly.

Chase sighs.

"You're all dismissed" Chase running his finger in his hair in frustration, this was their only lead and now it was gone.

In silence, they all walk out leaving Chase to his thoughts.

"Man! He's pissed" Jesse said as they descend the stairs, she turns to Lorna on not hearing any response.

"Lorna!"

She gasps like she was back to life.

"Earth to earth, are you okay?" she asked worried.

"Yeah I'm fine just replaying what happened in my head," Lorna said forcing a smile.

"That isn't something to think about all over again" she reasons.

"I know," Lorna said reaching for her jacket pocket grabbing her anxiety drugs, she quickly chewed on three pills sighing.

"Gotta run, Pete asked me to check up something with him," Jesse said walking away.

Lorna was about to walk to her desk when Natasha blocked her, folding her arms.

"Um excuse me you're in my way," Lorna said annoyed by her action.

"Something doesn't feel right with you," she said sternly.

"What do you mean?"

She took a step closer in an intimidating manner.

"I smell something fishy, I don't know what but I will find out," she said walking away, leaving a confused Lorna.

Somewhere

Inside the isolated building in a room, Cain was tired to a chair with a device that refrains him from using his inhuman powers, he grunts and growls wanting to break free but he couldn't, steel around his neck preventing from shifting.

"Let's start again shall we," Liam said behind him placing his hands on the chair gripping it tightly, Cain's body chilled with fear as his eyes trembled.

"Tell me what you know about the manufacturer".

"Look man I don't know much I have never seen his face" he confessed knowing if he lied he would be a gutter.

Liam just made a hmm sound walking to his front taking a seat, his elbows on his knees leaning forward.

"Then tell me what you know, everything"

Cain gulps hard staring into his deadly ghoul eyes, his body trembling.

"H-H-He wears a mask so we can't see his face, but I meet up with him for drugs supply," he said.

Liam tilts his head to the side. 

"When and where?"

"A night club and I'm supposed to be there tomorrow night"

"And you will go there," Liam said amused.

"You're letting me go?".

"Of course, you're my ticket to catching the manufacturer and besides you can't run away from me, I injected a chip at the back of your neck when you were asleep," Liam said in amusement.

Cain froze as his eyes widen.

"Yes Cain, If you as so much as disobey my orders I will blow your fucking brain to bits" he adds darkly.

"Fine I will do whatever you want but I want the girl".

"Excuse me?" Liam said stern he was in no position to make demands and what girl?

"I want that green-eyed agent, I'm sure you don't care less, you despise them don't you," he said chuckling like a sick bastard.

It was just a blur, that's all Cain saw, just like a flick of a finger, a flick of a switch, Liam snaps and the next thing he knew was he was hanging in the air, the chair he sat on broken, his legs wagging. Liam's grip tightened around his neck with just one hand, his sharp claws digging in his neck, drawing blood, Cain chocks for his light.

"I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" Liam roars in the voice of him and Ghost.

"YOU THINK BECAUSE YOU TOUCH HER ONCE YOU'RE GONNA DO IT AGAIN!!" he growls, Cain's neck almost snapping.

"BOSS" Gray's voice booms behind.

"We need him boss please don't kill him" he pleads.

With a snarl, Liam flings Cain to the wall causing a crack.

He coughs painfully trying to regain air, his face red like a tomato.

"Boss are you okay?" Gray asked worried seeing Liam gripping his head tightly like he was in pain but that didn't stop him.

"Why do you want her?!" Liam hissed, Ghost still itching to take over.

Cain leans against the wall in fear.

"ANSWER ME!"

"S-S-She's the cure that's why she smells like it, it's her blood" he answers in fear.

Liam froze at his words.

The sound of water dropping could be heard, Lorna was in the shower, her head tilted up to let the warm water rain on her face, she loved the feeling, it was like all worries were fading away, all her troubles and fear but it was just a fantasy.

A loud thud sound distracted her out of her thoughts, she jumps a bit turning, she quickly off the showers, grabbing her towel and stepping out, on alert she quickly grabs her gun leaning on the wall, her heart slamming loudly in her chest, a shiver running down her spine, it was a familiar feeling but that wasn't gonna cloud her judgment, mentally counting in her head 1 to 3 she emerges pointing her gun at the target as her eyes landed on ghoul ones.

"Lorna"

"Liam," Lorna said with widening eyes quickly dropping her gun.

"What are you doing here?"

No answer from Liam, his eyes ravished her exposed white skin, she just had a towel on, her black hair having droplets of water, she was shaking a bit, she was cold.

"Haven't seen you for three weeks" she adds anger evident in her tone.

"It's been a shitty week and a shitty day, and here you're to make it more shitty, I hope," she said sarcastically.

"You took Cain, did you get answers from him, I need to know please, I know you hate the agency a lot to even disclose any info but I need to know, innocent people's lives are in danger" she sighs, waiting for a response but nothing from him, he just stood there staring at her like she was dinner, was she? In a response to that fear grips her body.

"Liam?" she said shaky, taking a step backward, instinctively holding her gun tightly.

"Liam," she said once more, she wasn't so sure of the name she was calling.

"I'm gonna go change, then we talk," she said turning but that was a mistake on her part, as Liam roughly grabs her from behind, her gun dropping in the process, she shrieks.
