Chapter 99 - Black Club (Part 3)

Cain watches closely behind him knowing the agent and the black ghoul was following him as he headed towards the VIP section of the club which was on the top floor.

He gulps hard facing forward, rubbing his neck where the Steel once was, he couldn't believe his eyes, an agent and a ghoul working together.

"Why did you pull the trigger?" Liam asked wearing on his hood not wanting to cause unwanted attention from the passing crowd.

At the sound of his voice, Lorna knew he was pissed, and it made her heart sink but he deserves it.

"You said I'm sorry," She said disdainfully.

"What?"

"The letter you left, you regret what happened" she turns facing him with hurt eyes.

He stops abruptly, with a puzzled look facing her.

"No I don't, that night was the best thing that ever happened to me," he said sincerely.

"Yeah right," she rolls her eyes, then why did he say I'm sorry?

She gasps as Liam pushed her to a corner.

"What are you-"

He covers her mouth with his hand.

"Shh" he made a sound leaning backward to observe, she couldn't see anything because of his large frame.

She forced his hand off her mouth.

"What's wrong?" she asked in a whisper.

"Cain just walked into a room, there are bodyguards there but I can't tell if they are V-ghoul's or Claw walkers, their scent is confusing," Liam said facing her.

"We should stay like this for a while, we have to be sure it's the drug king" he adds.

"So what now there's we now," she said huffing.

"Lorna"

"If you don't regret it then why did you say you're sorry" she demands.

"Because of this," he said reaching for her turtle neck, pulling it down revealing the bite hickeys on her neck.

"I was out of control, I shouldn't have done that to your body" he adds.

Lorna shivers as he rubs the mark gently with his thumb.

"It's doesn't hurt it's thrilling actually, but not if my colleagues see me like this," she said sighing.

"We're sorry"

"We?"

"Ghost and I"

"I don't understand what are you talking about?".

Liam sighs.

"That night it wasn't just me..." he sighs again.

"Ghost was present too"

"What you mean..." Lorna said with widening eyes, was he being serious right now? she shivers.

"No that's not what I meant, it was like we were one, merged and all I could think about was you, same with Ghost too, trust me he means no harm".

"Well that's creepy," Lorna said looking away.

He placed a hand on her chin forcing her to meet his eyes again, their eyes lingering on each other as the whole world disappeared around them.

"So what are we now? We what we did was..." she sighs.

"We crossed a line that-"

"Shh"

"Seriously Liam stop doing that!" Lorna said slightly angry.

"I hear something," Liam said placing a hand on the wall beside them.

"I think this links to the room Cain walked in," Liam said feeling the wall, his fingers nail extended as he slowly clawed an opened space.

"Well? What do you see?" Lorna asked with anticipation, being in this situation right now she slightly wished she could meet up his height even though he was insanely tall. 

"They're having a meeting, the drug exchange," Liam said observing them.

"And the drug king, what does he looks like?"

"His face is covered with a mask, a red goblin mask" Liam said puzzled.

"Fuck" Lorna cursed.

Liam's body erupts in black aura he faced Lorna with his now ghoul eyes.

"It's now or never," Liam said amused.

"What do you say, let's kick some ass" he adds with a wicked smile.

'Those damn lips ugh' Lorna thought biting her bottom lip, she brought out the two devices with both hands, it shifted to a gun.

"I'm ready when you're"

Liam growls as his canines extended like that of Ghost, well that was new.

***

The wall bust opens alerting everyone in the room. Liam attacked with the power of Ghost as in speed he slits throats, blood splashing around.

Lorna shot at three at once with both of her guns before they even attempted to fight back.

The Claw Walkers in the room attack along with the bodyguards with a mask but Lorna and Liam fought them with ease.

A Claw crawls above the ceiling, beneath Lorna jumping at her but she shot it dead instantly, she turns pointing her gun at the drug king, he was the last man standing.

Liam stood in front of Cain who stared at him with wide eyes.

"Tick Tock," He said in a double voice of him and Ghost before ripping his heart out., he drops to the ground in the pool of his blood, Liam faced the drug king who stood still. He was on a red goblin mask and white spotless outfit, a white baggy jacket zip up, along with white pants and shoes.

"There's no way to run now," Lorna said pointing her two guns at him.

"Is that so?" he said, his voice sounded double like it wasn't truly his, it was hoarse and made-shift, the drug king went as far as hiding his voice.

"Lorna hart and Liam O'Brien, a ghoul and an agent working together," he said tilting his head to the side, they could tell he was smirking despite the mask he was wearing,

"You know us?" Lorna asked puzzled.

"Of course I do, I'm the one who put a bounty on his head".

"Let's kill him" Liam snarled animalistic

"No Liam not yet, we need answers," Lorna said sternly.

"Your power must be growing O'Brien, I'm glad I came out here just to see that," he said in amusement.

"I thought you came here just for the drug exchange," Lorna said puzzled.

He laughed.

"Oh poor child I knew the agents and ghouls will be looking for me and of course of Cain's betrayer," he said in a pity mocking tone staring at Cain's numb body in the pull of his blood.

"Poor thing he was my most valued customer" he adds facing them back.

"Came here because I would get a chance to meet the black ghoul in person".

"So that I can kill you," he said, instantly as a long thick thread came out of the sleeve of his white jacket it beams red transforming to whip.

Before they could act, the whip rotated with the move of his hand, penetrating Liam's chest.

"LIAM!" Lorna shouts in horror.
