Chapter 158 - Arriane Has A System

Marcus and Brent were about to walk away from the hotel to go to the hotel's car service that will take them to the airport when they hear a sound of a gunshot suddenly Marcus felt a stinging pain in his shoulder, he lifts his hand and touch his shoulder instinctively and saw blood on his hand. Brent was startled seeing the blood on his friend's shoulder.

Brent: Marcus, you were hit!!! Brent exclaimed he then called the attention of the staff of the hotel to call an ambulance.

The hotel staff were all frightened seeing the blood on Marcus' left shoulder, the woman on the front desk dialed 911 immediately to call for an ambulance while some of the hotel's staff gathered around Marcus who was paled as blood flow down from the wound and drenched his clothes.

Brent helped Marcus to sit on the nearby bench inside the lobby of the hotel. He asked one of the curious staff to watch Marcus as he look around looking for the hitman's possible location. He saw a small two-floor building in front of the hotel on the edge of the building's rooftop an open black guitar bag is left there. Probably the shooter put it there and left it as he fled in a hurry. Looking at the position of the bag and Marcus' position when he was hit, Brent felt a chill in his bones as a drop of perspiration makes its way on his forehead.

Brent: Oh my God!! It looks like I just escaped death with the help of my buddy. The bullet is intended to kill me not Marcus. If he didn't walk ahead of me that bullet that hit him is supposed to hit me. Brent muttered as he realized that he was the one targeted by the shooter.

The ambulance arrived with the police car, they took Marcus to Paphos General Hospital and Brent ride in the ambulance with Marcus. The police talk to all the staff of the hotel about the incident to take their statements before they followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Brent told the police that they were about to leave the hotel to go to the airport when his friend was shot. He added that they are in Paphos for a business. He also told the police about the black guitar bag he saw on the rooftop of the small building in front of the Elysium hotel. The police went back to the Elysium hotel after they finished taking Brent's statement to look at the CCTV footage of the Elysium hotel and the CCTV footage of the other building in front of the Elysium hotel. They found the black bag and take it back to the precinct marked as evidence.

The police inspector called Brent at the hospital and told him to go to the police station. He also told him that the incident may be related to the case that he is investigating or maybe just a case of mistaken identity.

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn Morgana is cleaning her room when she heard a knock on her door. She decided not to tell her mother about the things that the system discover. She didn't want to alarm her mother, and she also didn't want her to worry too much about her father by telling her that her father knows that her mother is still alive and he is looking for her and her mother. She decided to tell Arriane about it, maybe they should start using a mask every time they were in a mission.

She opens the door of her room and was surprised to see her sister standing outside the door of the room holding a big pink Teddy Bear.

Arriane: surprised!!!... Hi sister, it looks like you're busy right now???

Morgana: Oh, hello... I thought you would be back by noon??? Is that for me? Morgana said pointing at the big pink Teddy Bear.

Arriane: But it is noon already, mom said you have been sleeping your ass all day. Oh yeah, this is for you. Arriane said as she gave the big Teddy Bear to Morgana. Are you cleaning your room? Do you need some help???

Morgana: Oh yeah, I'm done cleaning my room, I'm just putting all these things that are no longer needed in the box. I'm almost finished, sit down in my bed and I need to talk to you about something very important. Morgana said to her sister as she put the last pieces of cluttering inside the box.

Arriane looks at her sister curiously, wondering what on earth her sister wants to talk to her about that made her sister look so serious.
