Chapter 751.
"Aftermath and still hunting."
(December 19. Huron, Michigan.)
The snow is coming down nice and slow, and right now we see the naval force on patrol and guarding the waters and some ships are salvaging the remains of the wrecked submarine that belonged to Edmund L.K Richmund. Peter Harris is onboard and they even get the bodies of the crew who were in there, the crew loyal to that damned rich man. "Well, this is a total mess."
The rest of the naval sub-hunting fleet passes by them and some salvage ships go towards the wrecked submarine for inspections of any sort of radiation or explosives. "No kidding" replied Ryan Rosato. He is also onboard, along with Lincoln, Jordan, Luna and Sam and they look to the remains of the submarine. "So, what are you guys gonna do with the submarine?"
Caroline Linnaeus and Lisa are also onboard and Lisa responds. "We are going to try and get into the systems of the submarine, the mainframe within and use it to see if we can pinpoint that damned man, Richmund. Through that, it might help us."
Caroline Linnaeus nods. "You're counterparts sent us a transmission from Canada. That is where the escape pod landed, and thus Richmund escaped through there, and with no trace due to the snow storm."
Lincoln scoffs and growls. "Dang it! He got away?! Well, that sucks. He's not gonna leave us alone, he will come back, it is way too obvious."
Sam then speaks. "Or he might die for the cold temperature. We might not know the outcome, but chances that he might have been picked up by some loyal dumb lackeys. This is some crazy stick going on, and we don't even know where that lunatic rich man is."
Luna sighs and she looks out to the lake. "That means the eagles can't come back home. This is terrible. The plan was full-proof and sound, and it all goes down to this? How the heck did we not see this coming?"
Jordan then speaks. "We didn't expect what would've turned into a chaotic outcome, but there is a good side to this right guys? We took down Leslie Silver, we caught someone who was going to continue being on the run, and we can send her back to jail too."
Lincoln nods. "Yeah, true. We have her in custody and she won't be able to do anything anymore, and with Richmund still around... We need to sort out to ensure that he can't go back and take Leslie Silver out and use her again... You think she shared some information to Richmund?"
Luna goes over and she places her hand onto his shoulder. "We can't be sure, Lincoln. All we can do, is hope that we can get some answers from her when tomorrow hits. For now, we need to rest. We've been through one heck of a night and it turned south real fast."
Sam then looks at the time. "Almost lunch hour, we should head back to Royal Woods and tell the others about what had happened, chances they're all gonna be very disappointed hearing that we failed to catch the man, but they might be happy to know we got Leslie Silver."
"Best statement of the plan" said Ryan. "We planned, we made it worked, we attacked and then things didn't go right, but we took one thing off of Richmund's chess board and that's the silver pawn."
Lincoln sighs. "That means we need to interrogate Leslie Silver, and see what she knows. The question is, when do we go onward with that and if the rest of you are alright with us talking to her... Dang, talking to Leslie Silver? That is new and weird to say."
Jordan doesn't look pleased to hear that one. "As much as I hate that wretched little punk, we don't seem to have a choice. We're gonna have to do it tomorrow, but I don't know what the outcome might be and I am afraid of what could go wrong, I mean... This is Leslie Silver we're talking about."
"She's horrible, she's mean, rude and obnoxious. She's caused so much trouble and has no idea what chaos she has done before she got locked up, she's obsessed with Lincoln and wants to take over Royal Woods. She's escaped a few times and tried to do dumb things. We all hate her."
"Yet, we need to know what she knows, anything that could lead us to taking down that insane rich jerk, Edmund L.K Richmund. We all don't want anything to do with her, but we don't seem to have any choice. So, I am in on this to speak with Leslie Silver. You guys?"
Luna also doesn't seem pleased, but she too speaks up. "I'm in. I don't like Leslie Silver, but she might know something on where Richmund might be. So, I guess I am in too."
Sam also nods. "Same, but if she does something stupid... Then I am kicking her butt hard."
Ryan also goes over. "I'm all in with the plan, we lost Richmund twice, and we cannot do so again. We're gonna need whatever information Leslie Silver has on him. The real ordeal is telling Hope, Regina, Chastity and Gretchen about it."
Jordan nods. "Let me handle that guys, we can begin talking to her tomorrow." They then hear some loud roaring sounds and they spot their hero counterparts riding the Netherdrake and Frost Wyrm and headed back through the portal which is made in the sky.
Luna Frost on her Frost Wyrm with Sam Livewire go on through. Then Commander Freezer Burn on his Netherdrake calls out. "If you guys need aid, we'll come and help you. Whatever plans you all have, then we'll be in touch."
Lincoln smiles and he waves. "Thanks for the assist Commander. See you guys soon, and have an awesome Christmas week!"
Freezer Burn nods and he goes through the portal, on the back of his Netherdrake and with Major Rosato and her Indoraptor riding as well. The Assault Destroyer they are on soon heads back to port, but then Luna recalls something. "Hey guys, recall that Jordan's hero version leads an alien swarm right?"
Lisa looks to Luna and nods. "Yes, the Zerg Swarm which I was told but not given the chance to know more, why do you ask?"
Luna grins. "If we can't get that dummy Leslie Silver to speak, then perhaps this alien swarm might have something to make her talk, what do you guys think?"
They all smile hearing that and then Jordan smirks. "Luna Loud, I think you just gave us a backup plan. Let's make this happen." they all look ahead and see the port of Huron, and the others already there waiting for them. Time to tell them what they have planned for tomorrow.
To be continued...
A/N: They didn't find Edmund L.K Richmund, which means he is still out there and still a threat, they have to be ready and prepared. But, to get more information, they need to speak with the one person they hate the most, Leslie Silver. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
