The sirens got even louder, and Luna and the other residents watched as multiple police cars parked in front of the houses. People all had to move away from the roads as some of the cars almost hit them, and the mothers in the crowd shouted at the police in anger as their children were almost run over!
Luna limped forward and stood in front of the house, away from some of the men who were trying their best to get her attention. She watched the police officers come out of the cars. Luna watched them closely and didn't take her eyes off them as she started to count.
1. 2. Blink.
1. 2. Blink.
1. 2. Blink.
So they were under the King's control as well.
Luna kept her head down as the police officers came around and started talking to the crowd calmly. The officers tried their best to calm their nerves and told them to gather at the center of the street in one straight line.
"Adults with children, line up first. Those without children, follow after them and put your hands behind your head. This is all procedure to ensure we find the terrorists as quickly as possible. Please do not resist."
Police officers went into every house on the street and started to search to see if there was anyone left inside. Luna didn't stop them from going inside her house. There was nothing that could incriminate her there. They already got rid of all the bloody sheets, and she cleaned out the bathroom well to get rid of all the blood on the floor, so she knew that she was safe. .net
Luna put her hands behind her head and limped over to the straight line and lined up with the others in the middle of the road. There was a deep silence that filled the entire area which made Luna's ears whine slightly. She glanced around and she could see that every person there was scared.
For some reason, even though the officers were telling them not to be worried, every police officer had a submachine gun with them.
How the hell would anyone be calm if you brought them out of their houses and lined them up in the middle of the road while carrying submachine guns?
As they were lining up, Luna noticed one of the policemen looking at her and she felt a cold shiver trail down her spine as she tried her best to keep moving calmly. The police officer walked a little closer to her, and Luna had to try hard not to run. She didn't know if he recognized her. He was probably just worried that she was limping.
The police officer finally stood in front of Luna, and Luna looked up at him curiously as she swallowed discreetly. The police officer blinked multiple times in a few seconds and a small blush rose on his cheek as he gazed down at Luna.
"Your name is...?"
"Luna... sir."
BANG!
The leader of the police officers aimed his shotgun at the first woman who spoke and fired. Her eyes widened in shock as she was blown back by the force of the shotgun! Her lifeless body slammed into the ground and a woman at the side screamed loudly in shock!
"AHHHHHH!!"
Everyone went mental as they started trying to run away from the area, but the police officers all around raised their guns into the air and started to fire bullets into the air!
"Ratatatatatataata!"
"Ratatatatatataata!"
"Ratatatatatataata!"
The police officers did not shoot anyone else, but everyone started to move backward to try and avoid the police officers as they were packed into a circle and surrounded. The crowd went silent and watched the police officers closely as the police officers pointed their guns at them.
"Waaa~! Mama! Mama, wake up!!"
The two children that the woman had been holding were kneeling beside her downed body and the older girl was desperately trying to wake her mother up by shaking her. The police officers did not even spare them a second glance, but Luna couldn't help but look at them sadly as she felt a pang of pity in her chest for them. This was her fault.
The officer in charge spoke up again.
"I have deduced that this woman is a terrorist and she was preventing us from carrying out our task properly, therefore, I have disposed of her. I did not do anything against the law. If you do not wish to join her, then please follow my simple instructions. Kneel."
There were no more arguments as every person there immediately fell to their knees at once! No one was willing to risk their lives because they were not comfortable with what was happening. They would rather do as they were told and hope that the policemen would not shoot instead of running and being shot in the back.
Luna was also on her knees with her hands behind her head and she kept her head down while looking away from any officer to make sure no one noticed her.
"Wiik! Wiik!"
Luna's ear pricked as she heard the sound of the wiik-bat coming from the distance and she gritted her teeth and hoped that it would not come to her. If the wiik-bat came down there, then Luna could be exposed.
