Chapter 11
The key to eternal life

"We will stop here." Said Gin. Carefully, he rolled up his sleeve and checked his gun wound. It had stop bleeding ages ago.
"That women---- didnt have the gut to kill me after all" smiled Gin coldly.

"What are we going to do, boss?" Asked Vodka carefully. He was really pissed off, the plan was to come to this place, kill the annoying detective boy and his friends. Quick and easy. They killed so many people before he really wants to know why this time, it is so difficult.
It was all going very will until Sherry appeared and ruined everything. He thought.

"He have friends" Like reading Vodkas thought, Gin suddenly spoke, sitting down and lean back against a tree, he pulled down his hat and took out a cigarette. His dark shadow blended so well with the darkness around them, it would be impossible to see him if he stays still.

He lit the cigarette with the lighter, the little light seemed so bright in the dark forest. It also lit up Gins steel cold face, there was only one word to describe him at that moment. Evil.
Vodka could feel the hair on his back stands up when he saw his boss's face. No doubt, he is afraid of this man.

"This Koudo guy is different from all the other people. He have his friends back him up. He is never alone." Analysed Gin. Then, almost like finding something funny, he chuckled. "This is his weakness."
"It is?" Asked Vodka. Dont understand what his boss is on about.
"We`ll get him." said Gin, blowing out the smoke. There was a confident look on his face.
"I`ll get him, and I will get that women." Said Gin with a really deep voice.
Vodka can feel the goose bump on his arm. Is it cold? Or is it his boss just scared him?

What he didnt know, was that someone else was watching them.
A pair of sharp blue eyes was looking at them from above. His distinctive white suit reflected under the moon light, makes them looks like silver silk. His cape was flowing lightly in the air, made him looks like the white phantom of the night.
He remain silent until Gin and Vodka was asleep. Then he took off, disappear into the night like a ghost, like a shadow, that was never really there.

Beneath the tall trees, the two black men laid still.
Gin smiled. He looked up at the direction which the White Phantom was at.
"Well Well, looks like it will be a very interesting day tomorrow." He thought.
Gins sharp gray eyes, for once, shows a glimpse of fascination with something.
"KID the phantom thief---- You should be dead 8 years ago. We killed you---------. Did you came back from death? Are you looking for revenge? " Like a serious man trying to find out the purpose of life, Gin find this incredibly fascinating yet hard to understand.

Then, Gin took out a small white bottle from his black coat.
"Is this what you were looking for? The key to eternal life?" He chuckled, disturbed Vodka who was snoring lightly.
Slowly and carefully, he puts it back inside his coat. Pulled down his hat, he was soon asleep. The dark and quiet forest seems to made him feel quite at home.

The forest went silent. The atmosphere was heavy and moody. Like it realised that tomorrow, something will happen. Something big, something that will change several peoples lives forever. Everyone in the forest was holding a secret, some darker than the others, but who will revel their secret first?
