Chapter 73 - Meet Marla

"I know, as a friend, you must care about her, I can feel it, you are a good woman! I know you don't want to hurt your friend again, but if we don't find Marla soon, and she meets or remembers the task assigned by… By the being who brought us down to earth! I'm sure you'll regret it very much, Jenny!" Lucas said very seriously to Jenny who was now frowning and turned to look at Lucas and asked,

"Indeed, what was the task given by the creature that brought you here?" Jenny asked Lucas who was now looking at him seriously.

Lucas exhaled slowly, then replied, "Exterminate all mankind on earth!" The answer that Lucas gave, of course, took Jenny by surprise. The woman widened her eyes at the answer.

"We were ordered to destroy Earth and will take over this land, therefore… Because I'm the one who… The only star who remembers it. So my intention at this time is to gather them and immediately remind them that the earth is not suitable for us to destroy. Because I know you are good people and deserve our protection!" Lucas. Making Jenny speechless to hear all these facts.

Jenny began to feel restless and afraid, then asked Lucas, "But… what if one of you remembers this task and intends to destroy the earth?" she asked, starting to get worried.

"That's why Jenny… I need Marla to help me and the others resuscitate them, and stop this mission before it's too late!" Lucas replied looking at Jenny very pleadingly. So the woman finally exhaled and walked to a park bench around there, then sat on one of the benches.

"Will Marla be okay if I let her be with you guys?" Jenny asked Lucas who now walked over to Jenny and crouched in front of her while saying,

"We have the healer, he is coming with us! Marla will not be hurt in the slightest because of Aidan. And I will also make sure that she will be fine as long as she is with me, Jenny… I promise!" Lucas said to Jenny, which then made Jenny stare into Lucas' eyes, trying to find out if the promise Lucas made was true.

And when she realized that Lucas was very serious about his own words, Jenny nodded her head in agreement with Lucas' request and agreed to the promise.

"Okay, but you have to keep your word, Lucas!" Jenny said to Lucas who was now smiling and nodded his head in agreement with the promise. Lucas stood up and held out his hand for Jenny to return to Jenny's tattoo shop.

The woman sighed and took Lucas' outstretched hand. Before finally, they disappeared from the park.

SHOUTT!!!

Flashback off

That night, they went to Berlin by teleportation from Lucas, but they didn't leave at all. Nick asked Queen and Aidan to be at home and let Nick, Lucas, and Wilson go to meet Marla, even though Lucas said that Aidan had to come, but Nick tried hard not to invite him, which in the end made Lucas have to accept it and succumb to Nick.

"I'll do what you want Nick, but if anything happens, I'll take Aidan right away!" Lucas said to Nick who was now chuckling and nodding his head,

"Up to you, Lucas… I'm sure nothing will happen there!" Nick explained to Lucas, who was now exhaling and turning his head to Aidan as he said,

"Stay alert, Aidan!" Lucas said to Aidan who now nodded his head in response to Lucas' words at that time.

Nick, Lucas, and Wilson finally leave for Berlin, without Queen and Aidan.

SHUTTT!!!

WUSHH!!

That night, Nick, Lucas, and Wilson were in front of the Old Town Apartments. Nick sighed, and it made Wilson and Lucas now turn to look at Nick like that.

"What's the matter, Nick?" asked Wilson, and made Nick turn to look at Wilson and say,

"Jenny didn't tell me her apartment number!" Nick replied and it made both Lucas and Wilson gasp in response,

"Then… what should we do now?" Wilson asked Nick, and made Nick now turn to look at Lucas and say,

"Could you ask Jenny about that?" Nick asked Lucas, which made Lucas turn to look at him and then nod his head,

"Alright… wait a minute I will see her!" Lucas said, but Lucas' movement was immediately blocked by Wilson who said,

"No need to bother like that, Lucas… luckily she had a business card in his shop and I saw it because now I have the current number!" Wilson explained as he took out a business card and telephone number written on it, which made Nick immediately take it and use his cell phone to call Jenny who was quite far away in New York.

…

Seeing Nick walk away from them, Wilson sighed and then said, "Hh… somehow, I don't like him… Lucas! Even more, than I dislike you!" Wilson whispered to Lucas who was now frowning and turning his gaze to Wilson,

"Why do you say that?" Lucas asked Wilson who now shrugged his shoulders and then said,

"I think Aidan feels the same way I do right now!" Wilson explained to Lucas, who now could only shake his head in response.

Not long from there, Nick walked over to the two of them, which made Lucas and Wilson now turn to look at him.

"Has she told you yet?" Wilson asked, and Nick nodded his head,

"Four hundred and four! He lives on that number!" said Nick to Wilson and Lucas who now nodded his head, and they immediately entered the apartment to meet Marla, but unfortunately, the security in the apartment was very tight, which made the three of them not allowed to enter the apartment, which in the end Lucas held out his hand and they went using Lucas' teleport to the fourth floor.

"We should have known that he (Apartment keeper) would get in our way!" Wilson said to Lucas and Nick, which made Lucas chuckle and Nick walked over to the door to knock. However, Nick's movement stopped and then turned his gaze to Lucas,

"Lucas… it would be better if you knocked on her… I'm afraid she'll be afraid of me, just like what Jenny told you!" said Nick to Lucas who was now exhaling and then nodding his head.

Nick walked towards the door and finally, he knocked on his apartment door.

Knock...knock...knock...

Lucas knocked on the door three times, then a voice said,

"Wait a moment!" which made Lucas's gaze now turned to look at Nick who was leaning against the wall beside the door while nodding his head in response to Lucas' gaze at that time.

Not long from there, the door opened and revealed a woman who was almost the same height as Aidan, short hair, a sharp nose, a small face, and very beautiful like a fairy, who now turned to look at Lucas with beautiful green eyes.

"Yeah?" the woman asked Lucas who had been stunned with his beautiful eyes now shook his head to wake himself from his daydream and then said,

"Wha..-

"Hey, Marla… long time no see!" Nick cut off Lucas' words and he even appeared in front of Marla and pushed Lucas to step back backward, and saw that it was Nick who came, making Marla's face that was originally very friendly, now looking at him very seriously.

"You again..." Marla said in a different tone from the beginning when she faced Lucas.

"May I and my two friends come in?" Nick asked Marla, who without showing a friendly expression, she now opened the door wide as if to let them into his apartment.

…

Nick, Lucas, and Wilson are now sitting on the sofa over there, while Marla is now climbing up on her bed with her legs crossed and looking at the three of them and then her gaze is now on Nick.

"Do you want to come to me again? Didn't I tell you yesterday not to see me?" Marla asked very unkindly to Nick, which of course made Lucas and Wilson feel they did have a bit of a problem here at the moment.

"Yeah… I know you're mad at me for my attitude yesterday, but this is a different matter, Marla!" Nick explained to himself who was now chuckling at those words,

"Khkh… what's different this time?? I don't think there's any difference, Nick… I see your attitude is still the same as the last time I saw you!" Marla said to Nick who now sighed and then said,

"Hear! I need your help to gather the others, Marla!" said Nick to Marla who was now frowning and then said,

"That word is the same as before, you asked me to do it… didn't we gather yesterday? But what you did to Vernon made me wonder if we should be together? But then I got the answer if being together will only make us fight like that and give me the worst experience I've never had before, Nick… and you also thanks your own words you almost died that day didn't you?" Marla explained to Nick who was now chuckling and then said,

"But in reality, I didn't die, did I?" said Nick to Marla which now made Marla nod her head
