"He escaped. AGAIN!" Donovan shouted and kicked his car door in anger. Danny winced in sympathy and sighed. Letting his partner vent out his frustration. He couldn't complain, Moore was a big fat thorn in his side. Along with the rest of the FBI precinct.
"The nurse said they were asking about a Mrs Schiller and her son Leland. Mrs Schiller died a couple of years back from the hospital refusing medical help." Danny said as Donovan continued to kick his car door. "Luke, stop you'll break your toe." Reluctantly his partner stopped and glared at the car door as if it was the thing that was causing all of his problems. "Look I think we've got a lead."
"Really?" His partner instantly brightened.
"Yeah, the nurse said one of the men pulled out an FBI badge." Donovan frowned.
"FBI?" Danny nodded.
"I've got the tech lab going through security cameras – " as if on cue his phone buzzed. Looking at the message he paled.
"Danny?"
"Son of a bitch." He breathed out and threw his phone at Luke who checked what made him so sick. Luke paled as well and stared at the picture of a man holding out an FBI badge to a nurse.
"Holy crap its Raul! How does he and Moore know each other?"
"I don't know but this case is bringing up more questions than answers. First we have a teenage serial killer, and now a dirty FBI cop who worked for the Mexican cartel?" Danny shook his head and scratched the back of his neck. "I'm not sure I even want to know who the others are."
"Still think it's a cult?" Luke asked smirking at his friend. But it lacked the playfulness. Both cops didn't know what to think of the group Moore was apart of. Yet both somehow knew it was something beyond their power to stop.
And it terrified them.
"We're fucked." Peter announced as he sat on the rugged couch. Its been five minutes since Leland Schiller announced his speak as Abaddon and none of them figured out what to do.
"Thank you for your ever-loving optimism, Peter." Rose said as she and the others conversed. "And Raul, Koa's one of us." She told the ex-cop. The man almost glared.
"Yeah? Well it would be nice if she started acting like it."
"How does one act like a messenger?" Peter asked in genuine curiosity. Because hell he knows he's never acted like a messenger.
"For one, helping us and not running off to try and take down a Horseman on their own and leaving us trying to stop the apocalypse." Raul said with pent up rage.
"It doesn't matter whether we're without Koa or not." Joshua said with conviction. Peter rolled his eyes and was about to say something when his attention was brought to Vera who was entering the house. His eyebrows rose in shock at seeing how dirty she was.
What the heck happened to her?
"If we don't get a lead on what Leland's up to another horseman's gonna break their seal."
"If you ask me it's a done deal." Said Raul. "I say we move on and set our sights on the next horseman."
"Hey, guys?" Vera said hesitantly and gained everyone's attention.
"What the heck happened to you?" Peter asked then noticed the familiar black man come up behind her. "And who the heck are you?"
"This is Allen." Vera told him and the rest. "Allen meet the Messengers." Joshua looked at Vera incredulously, Raul looked even more pissed and well…Rose looked like she could murder someone.
Peter didn't put it against her. Heck she is Death.
"Hi." Allen said cheerily then gaped when he recognized Peter and Joshua. "You're the guy who punched him!" he told peter and everyone looked between Joshua and Peter in confusion.
"What?" Raul asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Peter and Joshua said quickly and glared at Allen.
"Vera, I need to talk with you." Rose said and marched out of the kitchen and into the hallway. The blonde sighed and patted Allen on the back before following Death.
"So…" Allen said awkwardly as he stood in the doorway and tilted his head at Peter in curiosity. "Aren't you the kid who's murdered people?" Peter sent Joshua and Raul a look.
He's never wanted to kill someone so late in the afternoon before.
On Raul's orders Nadia had located addresses where Leland might be. Rose, Vera and were going to Abaddon's servers while Peter and Raul were going to his house. Just as they were leaving the house somebody completely unexpected showed up.
Joshua's wife who was pregnant with his brother.
Once again Peter felt like he had stumbled into a soap opera.
Peter was fuming as he listened to Joshua and his wife. His bastard of a father was abusing Charlotte. Who was pregnant with an innocent. He jumped when Joshua opened the door looking also angered.
"Peter? – "
"Let me go with you and beat your father to death." Peter said and the other man's face softened.
"I need to do this, Peter. This is between me and him." He wanted to argue but the look on Joshua's face told him to let him to this.
"Fine, but if that bastard comes here looking for Charlotte, I'm gonna protect her." Joshua looked stunned for a moment before hugging him. Peter froze at the contact and awkwardly hugged him back. Letting go Joshua grinned brightly. "Don't go thinking I can be saved." Peter warned him playfully and gently pushed him to leave. "No go and give your father hell." Joshua smiled one last time before leaving. He passed Raul who gave Peter a self-loathing look.
"Seems were partnered up. Lets go."
"I'm staying here to protect Charlotte." Raul raised an eyebrow but Rose's hand on his arm told him to not question it.
"I told you, you were good." Peter gave her a glare and watched them leave. He was protecting them not because he knew it was the right thing to to. But because he hates people who abuse others.
Peter smirked. Oh if he see's the old man who did this to Charlotte he won't let him leave this house alive.
Ohh is Peter gonna kill good ol' grandpa?
