Chapter 896 Sound The Alarm
Gary was a little frozen in place as he looked at Elijah. He remembered the conversations he had with him. He was an ally to him in this dark place, feeding him information on the outside.
Yet, why was he with others, others that Gary had all met before? Frank and Sadie, Gary remembered, were the White Rose Agents that had appeared in his city when the incident with Billy had occurred.
On top of that, there was Kanu, a squad leader. Gary had met him during his debut fighting match in the AFC. Due to his opponent being an infected Altered, Kanu had come to deal with the matter.
"White Rose Agents!" Ice shouted, as he started to charge forward with his club in his hand.
"No, wait!" Gary shouted, "Don’t attack them, I know them."
Although honestly, he was only sure about Elijah; he wasn’t sure about the others.
"What do you mean?" Blackjack said, moving forward. "These guys are White Rose Agents, they're here to stop us, he’s even holding onto one of the prisoners."
Blackjack was pointing at Kanu who was dragging one of the others but immediately let go and dropped him onto the floor.
"Hey, he attacked us, but I’m not so surprised with the situation the way it is," Kanu answered.
Elijah gestured for them to move forward and off to the side. There were still some prisoners that were climbing to the top of the stairs, but as long as they got out of the way, they would continue to run out of the courtroom and into the outside.
Nodding along, they decided it was best for them to follow Kanu. They were White Rose Agents and knew the place well, and now with the group bigger in size, they had exited out of the courtroom.
Running around Kanu was going to the exit that would bring them the least amount of trouble, the least amount of agents for them to get through.
"Do me a favor, will you, if we come across White Rose Agents and need to fight, don’t kill them, they're just following orders, and it will only slow us down anyway, attack and head straight forward," Kanu ordered.
Gary was fine with this; it was his intention anyway, too much blood had already been shed.
"You're a squad captain, right?" Gary asked. "Why are you helping me? I don’t understand even if there is distrust in the White Rose base. Wouldn’t you rather solve that first, I mean nothing to you."
Kanu couldn’t help but smile when he heard this.
"Gary, you might be a bigger deal to someone than you realize, you see someone from the outside, who’s a close friend of mine asked me to help you out. No matter what the cost was, even if I was to lose my job, I would help him out."
Gary was a little confused; he didn’t know many people apart from those in the Howlers. Was it really possible that there was someone out there with this type of pull, to affect a captain, and someone that was so old?
In the middle of his thoughts, a loud sounding alarm went off. It was a droning sound that pierced all of their ears constantly, one after the other.
Blackjack and Ice covered their ears for a moment, waiting for them to get used to the sound.
"What’s that!" Ice asked.
"It means the whole of the White Rose now knows what’s going on, it’s going to be a lot harder to get out," Kanu answered.
