After my little run in with the Wolf Pack I went to Ollie's secret lair that was surprisingly located directly under a night club of all places. There was computers everywhere and everything you needed to run any type of scientific test, rather chemical or DNA like what was needed here.
As I was waiting for the computer to run it's scan on the DNA I got from the deceased members of the Wolf Pack I took the opportunity to do some pullups on the bar that Ollie had in the middle of the room. After I successfully did one set of pullups I raised the bar to the next level to do another set. I needed to get stronger, even though I took out those guys with no problems, I knew that not every battle was going to be that easy and I needed to be ready for whatever.
After ten sets I saw that the computer had finished its tests and I ran to the screen to see what it found.
"That can't be possible." I gasped, seeing the results on the screen.
"What is it Eugene?" Ollie asked walking up to the computer.
"According to these results all of these guys are long dead." I said.
I was not kidding either. All five of my victims according to these DNA samples have been dead for at least a year. One of the faces I recognized as a serial killer that was terrorizing the kingdom a couple years back before being captured and hanged. I remember attending the execution and knowing for a fact that he was dead. The other four as well where ex convicts as well that had been executed for their crimes by the king. So how they were alive at the time I attacked them was beyond strange.
"How is that possible?" Ollie asked seeing the results for himself.
"That's what I want to know." I said
"Are we dealing with zombies?" Ollie asked
"Zombies don't bleed Ollie." I said "And all five of them bled when I shot them. Also they didn't look like they had decayed any. They were very much alive when I took them down.
"Then how come these reading insist they had been dead for a while?"
"I don't know Ollie?" I said "But I am going to find out." I then got up and grabbed my bow.
"Right now though there is somebody else I want to pay a visit. It's time we go see Dan Mattherson about a bomb."
The two of us grabbed our gear and headed for Honest Dan's trading post. Dan had swore after his release from prison that he was going to reform himself, that he was going to turn over a new leaf and I believed him. As a reformed thief myself I believed in giving people a second chance and giving them the chance to turn their life around and become a honest man. Unfortunately for Dan he decided to throw his second chance out the window and he was about to face a new type of justice, my justice, and when I was through with him he is going to wish he had made good of that second opportunity we gave him.
Dan was closing up the shop for the night when me and Ollie arrived. The streets were near empty and there didn't seem to be anybody around to see us. Good, the less people around the better. Dan had his back turned to the window as he was sweeping the floor giving us the opportunity we needed to make our move. Ollie took out a exploding arrow that would detonate five seconds after it hit it's target. He fired it at the door and five seconds later it exploded, sending Dan crashing into the wall. I took out a couple smoke grenades that created a smoky wall that covered the shop, making us appear to be ghost and sent fear into Dan as he saw our shadows peeking out from the fog.
"Dan Mattherson!" I roared taking out my bow and aiming a arrow at Dan "You have failed this kingdom!" I shot the arrow and it struck Dan by the sleeve and pinned him to the wall. He was crying in fear as me and Ollie marched up to him. He screamed as I grabbed him by the collar and forced him to make eye contact.
"What do want with me!?" Dan cried as I hoisted him in the air.
"Answers!" I roared. "Fifty pounds of explosives were found yesterday in the possession of the Wolf Pack yesterday with your companies signal branded on it! Now your going to tell me why you sold those explosives to a known terrorist organization and what they plan to do with it!"
"I don't know what they are planning!" Dan cried "They just asked me to make it for them and payed me, I don't know what they are going to do with it!"
"Your lying!" I growled, I could tell in his eyes that he wasn't being honest, and that he was just spitting out a answer hoping I would fall for it. Unfortunately for him I could not be fooled that easy. I slammed him face down on the counter as Ollie took out a arrow and jammed it into Dan's right hand causing him to scream.
"You know what hurts worst then a arrow going in." Ollie growled grabbing hold of the arrow and slowly tugged at it. "A arrow coming out, now you are going to give us the answers we want and you are going to be truthful this time otherwise I am going to twist this arrow around in your hand so badly that you are never going to be able to use it again." Ollie started twisting the arrow around in Dan's skin as Dan cried, forcing him to finally spit out the answers we wanted.
"Ok, ok, they came in a couple weeks back and promised me that they could give me a clean slate, that they would be able to have my criminal record erased from history and they offered me two million dollars if I made them the explosives! They would get me out Corona and let me settle down and retire in a clear other kingdom before they executed what htey called the cleansing of the kingdom!"
"Cleansing of the kingdom what's that?" I asked
"I don't know much of the details!" Dan cried "But they said that they was going to cleans Corona of it's sins, and rebuild it the way it should be. That's all I know I swear."
I believed him, he was in way to much pain to be foolish enough to lie to us. Their was just one more thing I wanted to ask him.
"Only people in the king's circle can erase a persons criminal record. How could these guys offer you a clean slate?"
"Trust me, the monarchy is not as not as honest as you believe it is. Odds are somebody in the kings circle is behind everything." Dan cried.
"Who?" I asked
"I don't know I've never seen their leaders face, all I know is he goes by the title Alpha Male. I'm telling you everything I know I swear!"
Ollie then yanked the arrow out of Dan's hand causing him to fall to the floor and cry as he held on to his bleeding hand.
"You are to turn yourself in to the king." Ollie said "You are to tell him what you told us. You are to tell them that they are planning a attack against the kingdom and that you were the one that provided them the ammo to do it. Hopefully for you the king will show you mercy. Fail to do so and we will be back, and we will not be near as merciful next time."
We then left Dan screaming and crying on the floor. He told us everything he knows that much is for sure. But doing so only left us with more questions. We know the Wolf Pack is planning a attack against the kingdom ad it involves explosives but we don't know what. Also if there is someone on the king's circle that is behind this then who, and what is his motive. I only could prey that I could find out in time before the whole kingdom is in flames.
Later that night Rapunzel was standing on the roof of a building away from the palace. Ever since the incident she couldn't sleep and barley ate. She really needed someone to talk to. Her mother often offered to talk to her but it wasn't the same, she needed someone outside her family, a close friend to talk to. Someone that would give her the comfort that she needed.
"Thanks for meeting me here Elsa." Rapunzel said when a women in a ice blue gown and light blonde hair came out.
"Anything for a friend." Elsa said "I'm sorry about your lost Rapunzel. Eugene was a great person."
"I don't know what to do Elsa." Rapunzel said "Ever since being rescued from that tower it's been just me and him. He taught me how to live a normal life, to be my on person, to make my own choices. Now that he's gone, I don't know how I am going to move on."
"It's common for someone to feel the way you do after they lost somebody they loved." Elsa said "When I lost my parents in that storm a few years back I felt the same way you did. Lost, confused, not knowing what to do. You've got to remain strong though, that's what Eugene would want from you."
"That's not the only problem." Rapunzel said. "The organization that attacked us, the Wolf Pack, they are still on the loose. The police aren't doing anything to stop them, and the only person that is doing anything is a vigilante and now the police wants to go after him. As long as the Wolf Pack is out there I can't feel safe, I don't know what to do."
"I understand Rapunzel." Elsa said
"Do you think you can stay here for a while and help stop them?" Rapunzel asked. "With your ice powers surely you could be able to take them down."
"Unfortunately as Queen of Arendelle I have my own problems of my own that needs assistance. But I can help you in another way."
"How?" Rapunzel asked
"There is this secret task force that I have been experimenting with." Elsa said "They're dangerous but they are good. I can get them to you in two days time. Promise me Rapunzel that you will stay strong. You will get through this I promise."
"I'll try." Rapunzel said
"Have faith Rapunzel." Elsa said before she jumped off the building and formed a patch of ice underneath her feet and slid safely onto the ground. As Rapunzel watched Elsa leave she kept running what she said to her through her mind. She had to remain strong for Eugene's sake, that's what he would want. She just hoped that she could.
That's it for this chapter, Did you like the little guest appearance of Elsa? She won't be in anymore chapters but I thought bringing her in for one chapter would give Rapunzel some reassurance that she desperately needs. Till next chapter please leave a review and I'll catch you later.
